Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 234, page 025: He interrupted her performance.
"Jin".

"Jin".

In a hazy state, a gentle female voice echoed in my mind.

"Jin".

Jin Ziyue opened his eyes groggily.

"Get up." The girl smiled gently when she saw him wake up. "What time is it?"

Jin Ziyue slowly reached out his hand and murmured, "Qin."

San Shui Lin Xin felt her cheek flush when Jin Zi Yue touched it, and her eyes looked a little unnatural: "Hey! Calling your ex-girlfriend in front of your girlfriend?"

Jin Ziyue regained consciousness, withdrew his hand, and let out a long sigh: "When did you wake up?"

San Shui Lin Xin felt a little guilty and said, "I only woke up a little earlier than you. Also, what's with that disgusted sigh? Uh, aren't you satisfied with a pretty girl waking you up? Do you have to shorten 'waking you up' to two words?"

Jin Ziyue ignored her arguing and sat up, covering his head.

The girl's calls in his dream grew clearer and clearer, making his heart race.

"It's only six o'clock, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Sanshui Linxin asked tentatively.

Jin Ziyue glanced at her.

Sanshui felt uneasy under his gaze and retorted, "What! I wouldn't steal a kiss from you while you're sleeping! Let alone crawl into bed with you."

Jin Ziyue silently pulled a knife from under his pillow; thankfully, the scabbard was still intact.

Sanshui Linxin ran away immediately, shouting, "Help! My wife is being murdered!"

Jin Ziyue chased away the little tail and took off his pajamas to change clothes.

Sanshui Linxin hid in the bathroom, peeking out half her head, her hands covering her eyes with the backs of her hands, leaving two slits between her fingers.

Jin Ziyue has a great physique, with no excess fat or overly bulky muscles. If it weren't for those grotesque scars, he might look even better.

While Jin Ziyue was routinely checking the surrounding equipment, Sanshui Linxin finished brushing her teeth, admired the pretty girl in the mirror, and couldn't help but smack her lips.

"You can go brush your teeth and wash your face now," Sanshui said.

Jin Ziyue nodded and went into the bathroom.

Sanshui Linxin crouched down and silently crawled along the wall, using the ventilation opening under the aluminum alloy door to peek out.

As a result, I happened to be looking closely at a pair of calm eyes, brownish-red with a hint of amber.

San Shui chuckled awkwardly, "Your position is so weird."

Taking advantage of the other party's frown and displeasure, Sanshui Linxin scrambled to her feet and ran away as if fleeing.

Jin Ziyue came out, wiping his face with a towel, and said, "Stop doing such meaningless things."

“How can it be meaningless? These are just little romantic gestures between husband and wife,” Sanshui said matter-of-factly. “I can just show them back to you.”

Jin Ziyue looked at her, and Sanshui Linxin also stared at the man's face.

The man's complexion wasn't good, but his face was very handsome: sharp eyebrows, calm eyes, a struggle in his eyes, and an air of maturity...

Sanshui looked at Jin Ziyue intently, forgetting his words, and said, "Please call me Sanshui Tante."

Jin Ziyue said, "Be serious and listen to me."

“The heart in ‘Sanshui Linxin’ is beating so hard.”

"enough."

Jin Ziyue interrupted her, staring into her eyes: "Stop doing this meaningless thing. You are you, don't try to please others this way."

San Shui's carefree expression gradually cooled down.

"I'd much rather see you in your natural state." The man's tone inexplicably turned fierce.

San Shui covered his forehead, feigning difficulty, but his tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before: "Honestly, I thought you would like cute girls more."

When she opened her eyes, that delicate, charming demeanor was gone. Her bright eyes held a hint of confidence, and a smile played on her lips.

"Rather than saying I'm approaching you, it's more accurate to say you're approaching me, isn't it?" Jin Ziyue's tone carried an interrogative undertone.

"I was thinking of playing a little longer, but since you found out so quickly, never mind."

Sanshui Linxin stepped barefoot onto the wooden floor, brushed her hair aside, and said, "It's a little bit of a test, but it's mainly out of curiosity."

"What are you curious about?"

San Shui said in his heart:

I've dreamt about you.

The girl's tone was flat, devoid of her previous coquettish charm.

"You know, for psychics, dreaming has always been a very mysterious thing, especially since my life had never intersected with yours before, but recently I've been dreaming about you frequently."

San Shui tapped his head, amusement in his eyes, and said:
"There are many scenes in my dreams: the scenes of you killing people, the scenes of you seducing girls, the methods of the crimes, the tools used, all of them are firmly imprinted in my mind."

“There seems to be some connection between you and me, so I didn’t hesitate to reveal that I am a member of the psychic race on the black market to lure you here.”

Jin Ziyue narrowed his eyes and said, "So you knew all along that I would come looking for you."

“That’s right. To increase your chances of finding me, I went to great lengths to hack into the information of other psychics who had the highest profile, but fortunately you still came to me in the end.”

Sanshui Linxin sat on the sofa, but this time, she didn't cling to Jin Ziyue anymore, and instead kept a distance.

"You want me to come to you on my own initiative, what's your purpose?" Jin Ziyue glanced at her.

Sanshui said to Linxin, "Of course I need to figure out why I dreamt of you. I don't like anyone arbitrarily controlling my life, and I also want to eliminate all factors beyond my control. After living so cautiously for so many years, you can understand the anxiety that such an unexpected event brings, right?"

Jin Ziyue listened quietly and asked, "How do you plan to conduct this research?"

"It's less of a dream and more of an attempt to communicate with my soul. Only a soul can influence a soul. I've thought about it a lot, and I haven't encountered many souls so far, and even fewer that are related to you."

San Shui glanced at him sideways.

Jin Ziyue's heart skipped a beat.

“It’s just as you imagine.” Sanshui Linxin had already read his thoughts from his expression and said, “So, for the time being, our goals are the same. I also want to meet the person you’re looking for.”

Jin Ziyue remained silent.

Sanshui Linxin continued, "Although it's incredible to imagine a soul whose existence is unknown and to attribute the many strange phenomena in my body to it, it seems to be the best explanation at the moment."

"So, even if it's just for myself, I need to use the Spirit Ascension Array to raise my soul power, which I've neglected for two years, to a level sufficient to activate the Spirit Summoning Array in order to unravel this mystery. In a way, our goals are the same."

After listening, Jin Ziyue asked, "Why do you also want to investigate our connection? You can live peacefully without doing anything. At most, you will have the memory of a strange man, but there is no risk involved. If you unleash your soul power, you will be hunted down by evil spirits, won't you? With your cautious personality, there is absolutely no need for you to take any risks."

He looked at Sanshui Linxin and said, "Sometimes, a peaceful and tranquil life is the most precious."
