Chapter 682 Lin Tiandong's Confession
"Why? Because perhaps we can understand each other." Lin Tiandong looked at Su Yue from afar with a deep gaze. It was impossible to tell whether it was his emotions that made his pupils so deep, or the mutation of his body that made his eyes as unconscious as those of fish.

Understand each other?

Is this guy kidding?
She wasn't familiar with him at all, and they hadn't even met a few times, but he actually said that they could understand each other?

Could it be that Lin Tiandong is also her fan?

As an idol, Su Yue often receives letters from fans. Many fanatical fans have said similar things to her, such as "we can understand each other", "we will become very good friends", "we have similar personalities and get along well", etc.

But Su Yue knew very well that she was not familiar with them at all, and the so-called "getting along well" was just the other party's wishful thinking, an imagination beautified by countless filters, and it was not reality at all.

Lin Tiandong gave her this feeling now, but it made Su Yue feel very strange, because Lin Tiandong didn't look like a childish and naive person at all. He should be very clear that the so-called understanding must be based on a deep understanding of the other party.

"It's great that you can still show that kind of expression. Maybe one day you will become like me." Lin Tiandong sighed in the tone of an old man.

Su Yue frowned, looked at her parents in the wheelchair, then looked at Lin Tiandong, suppressed her displeasure, and asked coldly: "What do you want to say? If you want to say it, just say it quickly."

Lin Tiandong raised his hand, his fingers brushed across the edge of the gill slit on his neck, and said thoughtfully: "These changes in my body began after I went to Yuezhuo Village. Some characteristics of aquatic animals appeared in me, and I also prefer humid environments.

This kind of change is nothing in the Control Bureau. Changes in human habits and personality caused by abnormal erosion are very common among extraordinary people above LV3.

As long as the intake of spell power is controlled, the thinking pattern will not deviate too much from that of ordinary people, or in other words, the deviation will occur very slowly.

Unfortunately, my affinity for cursed energy is very mixed, so scientifically speaking, I'm the type that's particularly prone to going crazy, especially in an environment like this, where even in such a quiet area, there's a faint trace of cursed energy floating in the air.

Do you know what it's like for someone like me to absorb cursed energy?

It was like someone was talking to me without saying anything, urging me to do some inexplicable things, like I wanted to take a shower, eat some Japanese food, order more sashimi, and so on.

There is no reason, just like a smoker who suddenly wants to take a puff, or a coffee addict who wants to have a cup. The superficial reason may be to refresh and invigorate the spirit, but in fact it is the brain that craves the stimulation of those chemical molecules...caffeine and nicotine.

Su Yue, don't be impatient. Everything I say now is with good intentions. Even if you don't understand it now, you will understand it one day in the future. Although it sounds like I am complaining about myself, every word I say now will help you in the future.

You know, people like us don’t come around often.”

Lin Tiandong stared at Su Yue coldly. Although he said good things for her, there was no friendliness in his eyes. Instead, there was something sharp in his gaze.

Su Yue couldn't figure out the situation, but she didn't dare to act rashly because her parents were still in Lin Tiandong's hands.

Even though Lin Tiandong's mother was in her hands, she felt that this bucket of bait might not achieve the purpose of threatening the other party, because she felt that Lin Tiandong's bottom line must be lower than hers. He looked too abnormal, even more abnormal than what Brother Xia Shou described.

“My ability is [Relic Collection]. As long as I carry the relics of my fallen companions with me, I won’t die from the same fatal attack as my companions.

I now carry a lot of relics with me, which means I have a lot of friends, because only when we regard each other as friends and brothers can the relics be used by me. I used to think this was a great ability, and it felt like inheriting the will of an important person.

But later I stopped thinking that. Although this ability is not a curse, it is no different from a curse. I often dream of the same scene, where I am eating everyone's corpses. Of course, this has never happened in reality.

But is there any essential difference between my ability and eating corpses?

Turning the death of a comrade into one's own nourishment, the two are so similar.

I want to fight with people who are stronger than me, but my finisher level is quasi-level four, and the mission conditions of level four and level three are completely different, so this opportunity is rare. In most cases, I am the strongest in the team.

In order to stop having that nightmare, I have been avoiding making close friends.

Even though my ability clearly states that the more friends I have and the deeper the bonds I have with others, the more benefits I will gain, I am still unwilling to make new friends.

This is irrational, isn't it?
My special ability obviously does no harm to the people around me, and it may even be beneficial. If I have a deep friendship with every colleague around me, then during the mission, no matter which one of them is sacrificed, I will be a little stronger and can better protect others around me.

Logically speaking, my superpowers benefit myself and others, and if I want to protect others, I should embrace this power, but... I want to reject it.

I don’t know since when I stopped making close friends with others, and my friends are limited to a few people around me.

And I never thought that I would become friends with someone because of an ordinary task.

Actually, Xia Shou and I had very little interaction. I first heard of him only because he, like me, was a strong contender for the Scorpion Spine transplant. I thought it was a shame for someone like him to have a Scorpion Spine transplant. That thing would drive people crazy, and not everyone could endure it, so I tried to persuade him to give up from the beginning.

Later, we were sent to Yuezhuo Village together to carry out the mission.

For most of the time in Yuezhuo Village, Xia Shou and I acted separately and had basically no intersection. He and I were not in the same team, and we acted separately. When we met, we spent very little time together and hardly said a few words.

At that time, I didn't consider Xia Shou as a friend.

My opinion of him changed after I left Yuezhuo Village. Since then, I have often thought of him.

Although I still knew nothing about him, I had already sensed how powerful he was. I had completely given up on the ownership of the Scorpion Spine and truly believed that it should belong to him. He could control that crazy parasite better than I could.

If he was my comrade-in-arms, there was no way he would die before me.

At that time, I had a strong intuition that we had something in common.

After Moonburn Village, I still didn't talk to him much, but I often heard about him from other people. I don't know when it started, but I felt that even though we didn't have much contact, we were still friends.

On the contrary to Xia Shou, you and I have nothing in common, but I kind of hate you. "
