Yawning, Lu Ze walked out from behind and looked at the ice coffin before him. What a grand gesture.
After all, this thing was not easy to come by. It likely required a trip to Snezhnaya. This item had the function of preventing corpses from decaying. Although the previous space seemed to have no time flow, it was still harmless.
After all, one must always have a backup plan, right? What's wrong with keeping a few options open?
Looking at the person lying inside, he couldn't help but sigh. Ei and Makoto truly looked alike. If both of them married the same person, *tsk*… would he be able to tell them apart?
Although there was one very obvious distinguishing feature, the tear mole, if that thing were covered, would you still recognize her?
Therefore, if one were to marry a twin, it would be best to marry both. Anyway, if you made a mistake, it wouldn't matter much, would it?
Lu Ze took out the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment from his system space, aimed the gun directly at the ice, and pulled the trigger. Flames instantly covered the upper layer of the ice coffin. After such a long time,
The upper part of the ice coffin had long since fused with the entire coffin, making it impossible to open. Thus, it could only be melted with flames to retrieve the body inside.
In just a few seconds, the ice coffin began to melt, and water instantly flooded the ground. Then, the part that was fused began to loosen, and after a while, it naturally slid open, revealing the person inside.
However, perhaps because the ice had begun to melt, there were water droplets even inside. Makoto was completely drenched, and some important parts could be faintly seen.
The slight transparency made Lu Ze involuntarily touch his nose.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Don't look! If you keep looking, I won't forgive you!"
The red chains in her hands began to sway, and Makoto looked at Lu Ze with some dissatisfaction. If he kept looking, she feared her body would be completely exposed.
That was her chastity, which she had guarded for who knows how many hundreds of years! She couldn't lose it so easily.
"Alright, alright, you two handle it. Otherwise, we can't proceed."
Lu Ze swallowed his saliva. The size just now seemed a bit smaller than her sister's. How could this older sister be like this, not even comparable to her sister? Although it wasn't that small, it was still too inferior compared to her sister.
After an unknown amount of time, Yae Miko and Ei emerged, carrying the meticulously handled body. Makoto was completely changed into new clothes, giving her the appearance of a sleeping beauty.
"Is this alright?"
Only after receiving permission did Lu Ze approach the body and place the red chains on its forehead, then injected some Honkai energy to allow it to function.
In a short while, the red chains merged into Makoto's body and disappeared. Lu Ze then lit a stick of incense and silently placed it beside the coffin. The consciousness needed some time to return. During this period, they could only wait.
"After this stick of incense burns out, we can proceed to the next step. You two can sit down and rest for now."
Lu Ze very consciously took a chair and sat beside them. The other two said nothing and also took chairs, sitting around Lu Ze.
"Um... can I ask you for a favor, Lu Ze? Whatever reward you want, can you promise me first?"
Seeing Yae Miko looking somewhat distressed, Lu Ze remained silent, merely looking at her, indicating for her to continue.
If he agreed before she even explained the matter, it would be quite rude.
"It's like this... can you help me revive Guuji Yae? No matter the reward, as long as you can revive her, I'll give you anything."
Lu Ze twitched the corner of his mouth upon hearing her words. Although he had this thought, getting a promise for nothing seemed pretty good too, right?
By the way, if I wanted her, would she give herself to me? Or would she fly into a rage and slap me with her fox tail?
The thought of this scene suddenly made him want to touch that fluffy tail and those fox ears. He suddenly wanted to pet her. Perhaps he should pet a fox.
In his previous life, he was very fond of small animals. Even after becoming a captain, he liked to keep cats and dogs. But he had never petted a fox. What would it feel like? He suddenly wanted to touch one.
"Lu Ze?"
Yae Miko called out softly, and Lu Ze woke up from his reverie, giving a somewhat impolite smile.
"That, that, I promise. As for the conditions, we'll discuss them later."
After a few more exchanges, Lu Ze saw that the incense was nearing its end, so he stood up from his chair and quickly walked to the front of the ice coffin.
"Time is almost up. It's time to welcome Makoto's return."
The chains reappeared on Makoto's forehead, but this time they were not blood-red but black, as if something had disappeared.
However, it was understandable. It must be Makoto's consciousness. Then, Lu Ze took out the Origin of Life from his system space. A green light instantly enveloped the entire Narukami Shrine. The immense life aura evoked a sense of longing in the hearts of the few people around.
"What is this? Why do I feel a sense of longing? I want to devour this thing..."
Yae Miko stared blankly at this green object, shaped like a water droplet, her eyes vacant.
"This is the key to saving Makoto. If you compare it to a heart, then this is a person's second heart."
Controlling the Origin of Life, he slowly integrated it into Makoto's body. After a while, Makoto's entire body emanated a green glow. Soon after,
She opened her purple eyes. It seemed that her will had just returned, and her consciousness had not yet adapted to this body. She crawled up with great difficulty, a look of exhaustion on her face.
"I say... won't anyone help me? Why are you all just watching? Hurry up and help me! I'm about to fall."
Ei finally reacted and quickly rushed over, supporting the nearly falling Makoto. Only then did she truly realize that Makoto was back.
"I have fulfilled my promise. As for the next person..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Lu Ze was slightly stunned. If this damn system didn't make a sound, he would have thought he was going to die.
"Congratulations to the host for resurrecting a Teyvat native—the former Electro Archon: Raiden Makoto. You have fulfilled another's regret. The host is rewarded with one random character summon ticket and 10 million points."
Hearing the system's reward, Lu Ze was somewhat surprised. He wanted to resurrect Makoto purely to resolve his own regret. He never expected the system to reward him?
However, these 10 million points were indeed a timely help.
