Chapter 83
What's it like when an SSS-level yandere falls in love with me?
Third floor, room 312.
The door wasn't locked; it opened with a gentle push.
Chen Yu rushed over, only to see Qiao Xi sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands on her knees.
He looked nervous and uneasy.
Hearing the door open, he looked up abruptly.
"Chen Yu? Shen?"
Josh stood up, a smile appearing on his face. "What brings you all here? Dawn should be here soon..."
She assumed the two men were there to welcome her into the vehicle.
But soon, looking at Chen Yu's expression, she realized that wasn't the case.
He saw Josh standing unharmed before him.
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief; at least, his intended teammate was still alive.
"We are looking for someone."
Shen Qingci picked up the conversation, explaining, "Lin Yue and Meng Yao are missing. We don't know where they went. Dr. Qiao, have you seen them?"
Josh paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No, no, I stayed in my room the whole time. I didn't see or hear anything outside..."
"Is there no movement on the third floor? Where else could they have gone?"
Shen Qingci stroked his chin, pondering all the possible places Lin Yue might have gone.
Josh said solemnly, "I'll search with you! More people means more help!"
Shen Qingci nodded and said without hesitation, "Okay!"
After all, in her view, they would all be the same person in the future, so there was nothing wrong with getting to know each other beforehand.
But just then...
[WARNING: Passenger fatalities reported in vehicle]
Before any response could be received, a second sound rang out:
[WARNING: Passenger fatalities reported in vehicle]
"?"
Shen Qingci's pupils also contracted sharply as she looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu frowned: "Two are dead, so there's no need to guess. She's waiting for us on the second floor..."
Shen Qingci was somewhat confused: "Chen Yu, what do you mean?"
Chen Yu waved his hand and said as he left, "Senior, you've been with her for so long, didn't you notice anything unusual about her?"
Shen Qingci bit her lip and immediately followed up, "I... I really didn't notice..."
Josh quickly followed, remaining silent and guessing what was going on.
The three of them hurried through the dimly lit third-floor corridor, ran down the stairs, and rushed straight to room 205 on the second floor.
"Bang!"
When the door opened.
Lin Yue stood in the center of the room, with two pools of blood flowing at her feet.
Two unrecognizable corpses lay submerged in blood, riddled with holes of varying sizes and depths, as if repeatedly pierced by something sharp.
Floating beside her were seven or eight pale blue crystals, each about the thickness of a wrist, like giant icicles growing from nothingness...
The two thickest crystals were now clamping down on Li Mengyao in mid-air, one on the left and one on the right.
She frantically clawed at the air with her hands, making a "hoarse" sound in her throat.
Her face was streaked with tears, and her pupils, as she looked toward the doorway, were filled with the terror of impending death.
Lin Yue turned her head and saw Chen Yu.
Then she smiled.
His eyes curved into crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth turned up high, revealing his neat teeth.
Her cheeks even flushed with excitement.
"Chen Yu,"
Her voice was still soft and gentle: "You're here! Look, do you like this gift?"
hum-
Shen Qingci's breathing suddenly stopped, and the blood in his body froze.
She had seen death, seen zombies, and seen Chen Yu's swift and decisive killings, but this scene before her eyes...
It still terrified her.
This is a chilling coldness that comes from the heart.
"Lin Yue?"
"How...how could you..."
Shen Qingci's voice trembled slightly: "Why did you do that?"
Lin Yue looked at Shen Qingci, her sweet smile fading: "Senior, don't you understand? Look, they'll get Chen Yu dirty, and I don't want to see that..."
Her logic is completely self-consistent.
Shen Qingci was completely bewildered. Pointing at the dying Li Mengyao, she said, "Lin Yue... she was in the same vehicle as us. If you don't let her go, your points will decrease!"
Lin Yue shook her head: "Look, who cares about points? Only my Chen Yu cares, right?"
Chen Yu looked at Lin Yue quietly, narrowing his eyes: "Lin Yue..."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
"Chen Yu!"
Lin Yue's voice rang out!
As she spoke, the two menacing crystals suddenly tightened, about to pierce Li Mengyao's body!
Li Mengyao's already purplish face became even more painful, and her body convulsed violently!
Lin Yue stood to the side, her clear, bright eyes fixed only on Chen Yu!
"Now, take one more step forward."
"Her head might just pop out like a ripe watermelon!"
She tilted her head, seemingly seriously considering the scene.
Shen Qingci suddenly grabbed Chen Yu: "No...don't upset her..."
Dr. Qiao's face was deathly pale. She covered her mouth and gripped the doorknob tightly. The scene was absolutely terrifying.
"Your talent isn't some B-grade crystal armor, is it?"
Chen Yu stood still and asked seriously.
Lin Yue blinked, gave a soft "Mmm," and said with some delight, "It's SSS-grade, and its name is [Perfect Crystal]. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of you?"
As she spoke, she twirled a strand of her hair with her fingers.
Chen Yu looked at Li Mengyao, who was truly on the verge of death, and whispered, "What exactly do you want, Lin Yue? You can talk to me. There's no need to kill so many innocent people."
"What do you want?"
Lin Yue repeated herself, suddenly feeling a little wronged: "It's because I like you, so I want you to be clean and tidy. But those two nurses looked at you with disgusting eyes, and the bank girl wanted to use her body to exchange for an invitation card..."
Chen Yu suddenly interrupted, "Wait! You...like me???"
Lin Yue twisted her fingers together: "Yes, look here, see, how clean it is now. Zhang Longqi and the others were so noisy before, right? In the restaurant, they questioned you with such loud voices, stared at you with those eyes, buzzing around like flies. Now they won't. I've quieted them down inside and out. When these crystals grew out of their bodies, they made a very soft crackling sound, like ice flowers blooming. I filled those throats that had spoken ill of you, those eyes that had seen things they shouldn't have, and those hands that always wanted to point fingers at you, with the cleanest crystals."
Chen Yu frowned, his hair standing on end, intending to wait for her to finish speaking.
but...
"And then there's Li Mengyao, she's the most troublesome. Look, she always clings to you with that pitiful, ex-girlfriend look, even though you've already dumped her. Why does she still live in 204? Why does she still breathe the air you've breathed? I've been observing her for a long time. Every time she sees you talking to other people, her fingers secretly clench the hem of her clothes. She's jealous, she's angry. That kind of emotion is so dirty, it'll pollute you. So, I fixed her here. Look at these two crystals, don't they look like big, icy hands gently cradling her head? It's very stable; she can't move an inch. That way, she can't look at you like that anymore, and she can't think about things she shouldn't be thinking about. Aren't I considerate? I'm just learning from you, Chen Yu. Didn't you say that useless things should be thrown away? But why don't you praise me? When you went to see Senior Shen for an exorcism, I was watching from behind the door. Your hands were so focused..." "It was so hot, and I was wondering if you would do the same to me? So I worked even harder to clean up all this trash! I don't like you having physical contact with others, Chen Yu. Other people's hands, other people's skin, other people's warmth... all leave marks on you. I can see those marks. Every single one of them. So don't try to hide it from me, I'm going to uproot them. I've been watching you, right now. Every glance, every frown of yours, I remember it all clearly, more clearly than I remember my own. Because you are the most important person. Don't you like this gift? I can adjust it. Look, I can make the crystal grow into her vocal cords, and let quiet crystal flowers bloom inside~ Tell me, how can I do this? So that you can look at only me like this, and listen to me attentively, okay?"
