Chapter 4089 Persuasion

Shimizu Ritsu's reaction immediately made He Xinchangping realize that his words were effective. Indeed, if Shimizu Ritsu was truly loyal to Linton, he really didn't have any good options.

He had already tried everything; he was no match for Shimizu Ritsu. So if the two siblings teamed up against him and Akiyama Shunsuke, they would be doomed.

If violence doesn't work, then words are the only option. Fortunately, Shimizu Ritsu himself clearly has doubts about Linton.

As Shimizu Mai previously mentioned, her brother is a system holder, making him, in a sense, part of their group. Linton's ruthless treatment of system holders naturally became his weakness.

It must be said that He Xinchangping's mind works quite quickly; even at this critical moment, he was able to immediately grasp the most crucial point to make a breakthrough.

Of course, it wasn't just Shimizu Ritsu who was wavering. Shimizu Mai, who didn't want to take action against He Xin Changping and Akiyama Shunsuke in the first place, immediately sided with He Xin Changping after hearing his words.

“Brother, he’s right. If that God-Generation user is clearly going to take action against the system holder, do you think he’ll let you go?” Shimizu Mai said.

“But… what can we do? That’s Linton.” Shimizu Ritsu was clearly wavering, mainly because of Linton’s attitude. He didn’t seem to want him as a subordinate at all, and he felt that Linton would deal with him after he returned from the mission.

But what could he do? The opponent was Linton, the God-Emperor, and besides Linton, there was also that terrifying Aizen, both of whom were completely beyond their capabilities.

He had tried to fight back before, but he was nothing but an insect in front of Linton. The difference between them wasn't just between people; they were not even the same species.

Perhaps noticing that Shimizu Ritsu was a bit agitated, He Xinchangping quickly spoke up again: "Calm down, I think you've probably misunderstood our purpose."

"What do you mean?" Shimizu Ritsu asked, taken aback.

“Brother, we’re not trying to fight or defeat this god-giver. Of course, I know that’s completely impossible.” He Xinchangping’s calm voice gave everyone present a lot of confidence. “We only have one goal: to survive. We just want to survive, right?”

The other three understood He Xinchangping's words. Yes, to put it bluntly, they just wanted to escape, not confront Linton head-on. Of course they couldn't win, but they didn't need to fight; they could just run, right?

This gave the group a lot of strength, especially Shimizu Ritsu, who knew some inside information, and some ideas started to pop into her head.

That's right, Linton's side is clearly not entirely omnipotent. In terms of combat strength, there's no doubt, since no one has yet been able to directly confront Linton. But when it comes to escaping... isn't there a perfect example right in front of them?

That's right, Ritsu Shimizu certainly knew who Linton and Aizen were looking for—the one who distributed the systems to them, the one Linton called System Black. According to his understanding, that should be the entity that created these systems.

If Linton were truly omniscient and omnipotent, wouldn't he have already caught System Black? Since he can't find System Black, is it possible that he also can't find them? It has to be said that Linton's ability to find things has never seemed very good.

To say nothing of the distant past, during a live broadcast from the demon realm, Linton's side also couldn't find the head of Yamata no Orochi, as those watching the broadcast all know. In the end, he orchestrated a scheme to get the three major powers of the demon realm to deliver the head themselves.

As for the last head, Linton never knew where it was. In the end, Orochi went to the demon realm and found it himself.

The events in the demon realm were broadcast live, so anyone who watched the broadcast knows about them. Therefore, Linton's ability to find things wasn't as invincible as his combat skills suggested.

So, is there really any chance? Shimizu Ritsu did start to hesitate, after all... she saw a glimmer of hope.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, seeing a glimmer of hope, he naturally wanted to try and see if he could survive. If he killed these two and went back to report, his own survival would depend entirely on whether Linton intended to completely eliminate all system holders like them.

Since there's a high probability of dying anyway, why not try taking control of the situation?

“But… it’s not that easy to escape,” Shimizu Ritsu said. “As you know, your location has been locked onto by that detection machine, and it’s been updating your location in real time. As long as it finds out that I don’t intend to complete the mission, or simply gets tired of waiting, it can come looking for me at any time.”

He Xinchangping knew that Shimizu Ritsu's words meant he had been persuaded. So now the four of them had automatically formed a small group with the goal of escaping Linton.

"How exactly does that detector you mentioned locate us?" This was actually what He Xinchangping most wanted to know.

He was quite certain that he couldn't possibly have any locator-like device on him, so the fact that he could be located in real time was truly strange. If it were some kind of location-tracking spell, he could understand it, since many people in the New World awaken special abilities after awakening, so it wouldn't be surprising.

The problem is that Shimizu Ritsu said that the machine located them, and this machine must have some scientific theory behind it. How did it locate them?

"It's emotional energy." Shimizu Ritsu certainly knew this, after all, that's what he researched. That's right, as the one being studied in the entire experiment.

Aizen and Asuna calibrated the emotional energy within him step by step, gradually making the emotional detector more and more accurate. Now it can be said to be 100% accurate in its positioning.

"Emotional energy?" Clearly, the remaining three didn't even know what emotional energy was. In this new world, they knew about spiritual power and demonic power, but what was emotional energy? No one had ever proposed the concept of it before.

By this time, Shimizu Ritsu had gradually calmed down. While having his sister treat his injuries, he explained what he knew to the others. He mainly explained to He Xinchangping, because he found that He Xinchangping seemed to be quite intelligent, at least among the best in their team.
