I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 86: Forest Ghost (End)

"I am willing to stand trial!" The old hunter looked up hastily, his eyes reflecting Lin Yuan's cold face.

Lin Yuan tilted his head, looked at the hunter, and suddenly asked: "Do you regret it?"

The hunter burst into tears, wiping his tears with his thick calloused fingers: "You can punish me in any way you want, but I will make sure she doesn't suffer any more..."

"I do not regret."

"Okay." Lin Yuan raised the gun of judgment.

boom--

The sound of a gunshot almost shattered a person's eardrums. The birds were startled and cried out, flapping their wings wildly among the branches and leaves, and fleeing in panic.

The wind blew through the endless forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the rustling sound in the forest seemed like a lament for the end.

The forest was no longer haunted, but noisier than ever.

Lin Yuan put down his hand that was pointing the gun at the sky, with a faint smile on his face:

"I won't kill you, Hunter."

The imagined death did not come. The hunter opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at the "negligent" judge in front of him with shock.

"I will not judge you until the most damned villager is dead."

A hint of deep thought flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes. The hunter's reaction was pretty much what she expected.

There was no ecstasy, nor was there any gratitude.

The old hunter seemed like a zombie who had lost most of his thoughts. He asked in a daze, "But I have no reason to continue living..."

Lin Yuan played with the gun in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Who said you have no reason to live?"

The Judgment Spear circled on Lin Yuan's finger, and the corners of her lips curved slightly: "You still have grudges to take."

"Those beasts who abused your daughter are still at large in this world. Who else but you knows the evil they have done?"

Lin Yuan patiently persuaded: "Blood must be repaid with blood, but it should not be your blood, but their blood."

The old hunter was stunned, as if he had heard Lin Yuan's words.

"I am not the only judge in the world. You must live well and send those people to the judgment gun while you are alive."

Lin Yuan handed the gun to the old hunter with a smile on his face.

The hunter suddenly grabbed the Judgment Spear tightly, and a determined light flashed in his eyes, which was hatred and hope.

"This is your last hunt."

Lin Yuan showed a look of pity and sighed, "This time your prey is not the wild beasts in the mountains and forests, nor the ghosts in the cemetery, but a group of monsters that are truly a disaster to the world."

"Hunter." She asked meaningfully, "You've never touched a gun before?"

Lin Yuan patted the old hunter on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go hunting with a shotgun this time."

The hunter stood up straight, bowed to Lin Yuan, and then walked towards the gravel-strewn path with a staggering step.

His figure disappeared into the forest, and no one knew whether he could succeed in his revenge.

But the hunter will live, with a heart full of hatred.

After letting the hunter go, Lin Yuan turned around and saw Shi Lu and Yuan Fang under the eaves of the wooden house.

Lin Yuan smiled and raised his hand to wave.

Yuan Fang had a complicated expression, sighed, and couldn't help but say: "Lin Yuan, the hunter is gone alive."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Yuan Fang suddenly felt like a huge stone weighing down his heart, making him breathe heavily: "But our clearance requirements..."

He wanted to think about how we could complete the requirements for passing the level, and have a plot twist at the end so that they don't have to sacrifice Lin Yuan, but only need to sacrifice one NPC, the hunter.

But who would have thought there would be a bigger twist. Lin Yuan gave up the opportunity to pass the level that was within his grasp and actually let the hunter go, and even advised him to live well.

"Oh, you, I...I don't know what to say..." Yuan Fang sighed, moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.

Shi Lu raised his lowered head, and looked at Lin Yuan quietly with his eyes that seemed to be washed by tears.

She knew that it was not in their interest for Lin Yuan to let the hunter go, but she would never say "no" to Lin Yuan. ——Just treat it as a secret that only she knew.

At such a serious and solemn moment, Lin Yuan actually smiled.

Putting aside the horrifying murders she had committed and her crazy heart, Lin Yuan was just an 18-year-old girl.

Even because of his innocent and childish appearance, Lin Yuan's smile has a bit of youthful freedom.

Simply put, it looks good.

Lin Yuan put his arm around Shi Lu's shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten that I have a 'family'?"

Shi Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, the identity of the hunter's daughter?"

"But the hunters have all changed. The identity I drew when I came in may not still count."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Lu and Yuan Fang reacted.

It was the hunter who changed his identity, not the two of them.

Lin Yuan accidentally completed the advanced clearance requirement of "saving the hunter's family".

Even though he killed other family members, one was still alive. How can that not be considered “saving a family member”?
If he could pass the level this way, then Lin Yuan would have done a great deed.

Yuan Fang couldn't help thinking.

Lin Yuan worked hard and saved both the hunter and the deer.

Although Zhu Siyun and Wu Tu both fell at the hands of Lin Yuan, she is such a good person!
So kind!

She even let go of the NPC who symbolizes the victory condition. Could it be that she really has good intentions in her heart?

Wrong thoughts arose in Yuan Fang's mind, and he formed a subjective impression of Lin Yuan.

Just then, the panel refreshed.

[The hunter survives, and the player who plays the daughter also survives]

[Congratulations to everyone for reaching the advanced clearance conditions. The transmission channel will appear later. After entering the channel, settlement will begin...]

"Great!"

Shi Lu showed a happy expression, looked at Lin Yuan who was still calm, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and casually mentioned: "Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan raised his chin: "What?"

"I think the Hunter is a...cowardly and brave person."

Lin Yuan burst out laughing.

It's really interesting to use two words with completely opposite meanings to describe a person.

However, Lin Yuan could naturally understand the meaning of Shi Lu's words.

A hunter can break into a cemetery at night and hunt ghosts. This is his bravery.

The hunter can also deceive himself and numb himself with illusions, which is his cowardice.

As for the hunter's behavior of killing the third ghost, the "daughter", with his own hands, Lin Yuan was not sure.

She couldn't stand in the hunter's shoes and criticize other people's behavior from her own perspective.

To put yourself in other people's shoes is nothing more than putting your own heart in other people's shoes and subjectively guessing what they are thinking.

The hunter’s story has ended, but Lin Yuan suddenly thought: “Perhaps bravery and cowardice are not his own choices.”

"Hmm?" Shi Lu asked in confusion.

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes, thinking: "Being brave is because you have someone to protect, and being cowardly is because you know that the person you are protecting cannot be saved at all."

"It's so strange that opposite emotions are born out of the same thing."

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Shi Lu fell into deep thought.

Coincidentally, the transmission channel appeared at this time, and Lin Yuan was the first to enter.

Shi Lu said anxiously: "Lin Yuan, I will find you for something after I go back!"
