Looking at the murderer's body again, the system did not give him any further hints, and Lin Yining did not find any clues on the murderer's body.
He took a breath and left the basement.
There's still one alive in this house, and maybe he'll know something.
The murderer seemed to know him. He kept saying that Lin Yining had killed a girl. Lin Yining had no idea who this girl was—so far, the system hadn't told him anything.
Lin Yining thought that after getting out of this dungeon, maybe he should look for the answer from the identity assigned to him by the system. There might be clues about what the original owner left behind, his relationship with others.
There were several footsteps on the dilapidated stairs. Lin Yining went upstairs, came to the room, and pushed open the half-hidden door. cough.
"Are you okay?" Lin Yining stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
The man didn't answer, curled up on the ground.
Lin Yining bent down and touched him, the other party suddenly turned around and stared at him.
In those eyes, the whites of the eyes were bloodshot, and Lin Yining's shadow was reflected in the dark pupils. As if frightened, he let go.
Lin Yining had seen this person before, in the real world. At that time, Lin Yining was still young, and he and his father returned to their hometown town from Jingcheng, the provincial capital, during Chinese New Year, and met him. This man is a fool, always being bullied by the brats nearby, who will laugh and make up all kinds of jingles to scold him, throw stones at him, and steal his hard-earned waste.
There is nothing a fool can do.
Because of the reservedness and pride of the 'children in the city', Lin Yining never participated. Then, on the last day before they left town, the fool died. Lin Yining found the body.
This is his deepest memory of his hometown.
Lin Yining's family is harmonious, his parents are loving and well-educated, this incident did not leave too much shadow in Lin Yining's heart.
Why did the system turn over this memory? Want to make him feel guilty
He lowered his head and saw the fool die. This scene coincided with the one more than ten years ago, Lin Yining slowly closed his eyes.
The door rang, and the scene outside was not the living room just now, but a bustling street. He went out and walked all the way along the street. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a coffee shop, he saw a girl with a gentle smile, talking to 'him'.
This him has the same face as Lin Yining.
The girl handed 'him' a book, the book of redemption, with a bookmark protruding from the edge of the book, with three words written on it.
'You are guilty. '
She smiled lightly as if unintentionally, turned her head, looked at Lin Yining outside the window, and repeated this sentence with her mouth; you are guilty.
Lin Yining took a step back.
Pedestrians on the busy street stopped.
There was a torrential rain in the sky, and in the torrential rain, everything in front of him melted in front of his eyes.
When Lin Yining opened his eyes again, he saw the library at night again.
After he put the book in his hand back on the shelf, through the gap of the shelf, Lin Yining suddenly saw another person. The man had a pair of black eyes, with a hint of interest in his eyes, and his expression was full of sarcasm towards his prey.
He appeared suddenly in the night, like a monster stalking its prey.
Shu Boxuan, one of Chenxi's deputy team leaders.
The blood of the ghost clan, won the position of deputy head before awakening, and the reputation among the public is very... extreme.
Lin Yining lowered his eyes, and the seeds on his wrist jumped up again.
He continued to put the redemption in his hand back on the shelf, thought for a while, took the book back, pulled out the bookmark inside, and put it in his pocket.
"Let me guess, what did you see in the world in the book, being hunted down?" Shu Boxuan didn't move, and looked at Lin Yining across the bookshelf.
His tone was full of sarcasm, and he said, "I think it might be more enjoyable for you to die in the world in the book."
Lin Yining ignored his provocation and continued to put the book back on the shelf. The action is very steady.
It is common sense not to show weakness in the face of a confident beast.
After the redemption in his hand was put back on the bookshelf, the thick book covered part of Shu Boxuan's vision. He straightened the crooked book, and said in reverse: "Let me guess, what did you see in the world in the book? I'm afraid you won't be very happy."
The world in the book read part of his memory, trying to find something that impressed him and stimulated him. Lin Yining grasped this point keenly.
This can also be applied to Shu Boxuan.
"The notorious deputy head of Chen Xi, is there anything in his life that the system can manipulate?" Lin Yining said indifferently: "Bullying the weak—oh, no, this is everyday life, and the system probably doesn't think it's exciting enough. You, what else is there? Killing people?"
"Three years ago, when you just entered the game, you might have nightmares when you killed the first person for your own benefit, but now... you're probably used to it."
Shu Boxuan could hear the sarcasm in Lin Yining's tone, and said, "Chenxi has indeed done some things for development, but I don't think it's wrong. Now let's talk about you, since you think I am such a person, It's perfectly normal for me to kill you, isn't it?"
"You should read more forums." Lin Yining smiled, and he seemed to mention a name unintentionally: "Do you know Ge Sinian?"
On the opposite side, Shura's expression froze for a moment.
It seems to work.
Lin Yining stared into his eyes and said, "If you want to know more, welcome to come and talk to us."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yining walked to the other side of the bookshelf.
His hands were covered with cold sweat, and on his wrists, the seeds of the third-level plants broke free from the shackles of Jasmine's gift. When he found out that the poor host was just a paper tiger, he jumped even harder.
The current Lin Yining is not so suitable for fighting.
Turning the bookshelf, he finally had to turn his back on the enemy. Creeper branches climbed along his arms all the way up to his shoulders, instead of his eyes, looking at the man.
Behind him, scorching gazes stuck to his figure.
Lin Yining won the bet, but the other party did not follow.
Since Shu Boxuan is in the library, other players who can't keep Qi Chenxi will also be there. Lin Yining gave up the plan to find his two companions, left the library, and disappeared into the night, like a drop of water melting into the sea, and could never be found again.
When he returned to the hotel where he lived, he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down on the chair. A voice said to him: You killed that man, didn't you? If you had been there earlier, if you had figured out a way to stop those kids ahead of time, he wouldn't have died, would he
When he was weakest, the system took advantage of it.
Lin Yining half-opened his eyes, and suddenly saw something grabbing his feet.
It's that fool. He hehe made a sound at him, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it. The young Lin Yining was frightened by this scene, panicked, and slammed his foot away.
He wants to run, run home.
'Don't run in this direction, you should go to the hospital. ' said the voice.
This is a system trap, don't fall for it. Lin Yining said to himself.
On his wrist, the seeds throbbed violently again, and the pain made him a little more awake.
He grabbed a small knife on the table and slashed his arm hard!
The seed came into contact with the air and finally sprouted a small sprout. Lin Yining pinched the bud and pulled him out. In the blood vessels, the seeds spent too much effort to germinate, and a part of the dragon power in the blood vessels finally broke through the obstacles and devoured the remaining roots.
With the power of pain, the adult Lin Yining gradually merged with his young self. He took steps in the illusion and arrived at the side of that person.
He has stopped breathing.
The chattering voice in his ear disappeared, and Lin Yining finally closed his eyes with peace of mind. Next to him, the newly dug out seeds buried their remaining roots in the ground and began to grow wildly.
