dark.

After a long, seemingly endless darkness, Lin Yu woke up again.

He stared blankly at his complete body, then reached out and touched his neck.

It was intact, smooth, and without any wounds.

Sitting up once again, Lin Yu subconsciously looked around.

The room was still completely white, but this time, he heard no sound.

Why do you insist on keeping me alive?

Lin Yu asked in a low, yet hysterical voice.

no respond.

The room remained unchanged.

He walked toward the wall of the room, and as he reached out to touch it, the entire wall immediately dissolved as if the mist had dissipated.

Lin Yu stared in disbelief at the scene.

This was the first time he had witnessed the room disappear.

but.
How could such a room possibly exist in reality?
Yamashiro
What kind of place is this?
Lin Yu took a deep breath. He was still on the outskirts of the village.

But upon closer inspection, he discovered that the village had changed somewhat.

It's much larger now.
It's as if, during the time I've been dead, countless years have quietly passed.

Lin Yu stared intently at the distant village, his lips tightly pressed together, and he moved with utmost care.

He didn't know what he was afraid of or what he was wary of.

After all, for him, even the worst outcome was nothing more than death.

But he was afraid.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu suppressed his inexplicably violently pounding heart and continued walking forward.

The closer he got to the village, the stronger the sense of "realism" it gave him.

Smoke from cooking fires, the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, the voices of people talking, the aroma of food, and the gentle breeze caressing the skin.
All his senses were telling him the same thing.

This is a real village, a peaceful, tranquil, and happy village.

But Lin Yu didn't believe it.

He didn't know how he got there, so he absolutely refused to believe what he was seeing.

This is just a conspiracy by the mountain town.

No matter how alluring or sweet the conspiracy may appear on the surface, its core dark nature will never change.

Lin Yu's heartbeat suddenly slowed down.

It was as if an anchor had sunk to the bottom of the sea in his heart, firmly securing the ship to the storm.

So, who cares?
Since they have built such a world here.
Why not take a look for yourself?

Lin Yu strode towards the village. After crossing the small river at the village entrance, he subconsciously tried to find the road sign that had been placed there.

But he soon discovered that the road sign had disappeared.

"What are you looking for?"

Just as he was looking around in confusion, a voice rang out from behind him.

Lin Yu turned around and saw that the speaker was a barefoot child.

The child was short and somewhat thin, but seemed to be in good health.

"I'm looking for a road sign."

Lin Yu answered instinctively.

"Road sign? What's that?"

The child looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Where do you come from? Why haven't I seen you in the village before?"

"Don't you know where I come from?"

Lin Yu's eyes sharpened.

He was a Blood Saint raised in the wasteland, and he had no mercy for any of his enemies.

Even if it's just a child.

The other person seemed startled by his gaze, and hurriedly took two steps back before the child spoke:
"I don't know where you come from!"

"Don't look for me! I'm still young!"

As he spoke, the child ran off into the distance.

As his shout faded, a woman came out of the wooden house and hugged him tightly.

From a distance, Lin Yu could see the child talking to the woman in the direction she was pointing.

For a moment, he even found it a little funny.

The people here clearly know where they come from, right?

Just like last time, the village had even prepared a place for itself to stay long ago.

However, they pretend to know nothing, as if they would believe it themselves because their acting is so convincing.
Lin Yu shook his head, stepped forward, and said to the woman:

"There's no need to act anymore."

"I will not stay in this village."

Tell me, which direction is the mountain city in?

"I want to go to the mountain city."

"You're going to the mountain city??"

The woman stared at Lin Yu in disbelief, her surprise genuine.

Lin Yu frowned.

"What, can't we go?"

"Maybe"

The woman stammered:
"But the mountain town is long gone."

Lin Yu was stunned the moment he said those words.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean the mountain city is gone??"

"That happened hundreds of years ago. The mountain city has long been destroyed!"

destroy??
Hundreds of years?

Lin Yu's muscles tensed up instantly.

Have I been asleep for hundreds of years?
But how is this possible? !
The time between his last death and resurrection was definitely not long, because he clearly remembered that the voice had once told him, "The Huaxia Army is attacking the mountain city."

A month?

Perhaps a year at most!
The Huaxia Army won't drag this out for long. How could they allow an enemy like Shancheng to exist? How could they keep waiting?

But now.
Has the mountain city been destroyed?
Why wasn't I rescued?

Was it done by the Chinese army?
Lin Yu stared directly at the woman and asked sternly:
Why was the mountain city destroyed? Was it the Chinese army?

"I don't know! I don't know!"

The woman retreated in terror, shouting for help.

A sharp sound rang out in the village, and people with different faces poured out from the wooden houses all around.

Lin Yu subconsciously took a step back.

He tentatively clenched his fist, only to find that the strength and speed he was so proud of had long since vanished.

Perhaps at this moment, I am no different from an ordinary person.

This was something he had always dreamed of.

But now, he only feels that disaster is about to strike.

"catch him!"

"Seize that outsider!"

Lin Yu took two steps back, then turned and ran.
-
He didn't actually know why he was running.

Perhaps it was simply because he was unwilling to die here like this.

We have too little information.

If every death comes at the cost of hundreds of years, how long will it take me to gather enough clues to escape this world?
Lin Yu ran as fast as he could, but his ordinary body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like I was running through a quagmire.

Not fast enough, not high enough, and not agile enough!
Lin Yu stumbled and fell to the ground; in just an instant, his back was hit hard.

Someone pounced on him and knocked him to the ground!

Lin Yu struggled desperately, but it was too late.

The crowd swarmed him and pinned him to the ground. He could only humiliatingly cling to the ground as they tied his hands and feet together and carried him back to the village on a long wooden skewer.

Can't run away.

A bizarre and ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Lin Yu's mind.
-
So these people aren't like those legendary cannibals who roast themselves to eat, are they?
Or perhaps they will torture themselves to death like the Blood Skull?
No, they don't seem to be Blood Skulls.

And the look in their eyes wasn't just anger and violence; it was also terror.

"Why were we allowed into the village?!"

Lin Yu heard a man who looked like a leader shouting.

"Why were you let in?!"

"The wounded beast is coming soon! We don't have time!"

"From this moment forward, everyone must close their eyes! I mean everyone!" Close their eyes?

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

What is he going to do?
It was to avoid the bloody scene frightening others that they were forbidden to watch.
But why not just disperse the crowd?

A series of questions arose in Lin Yu's mind, and at this moment, the man continued:

"Everyone, forget everything you've seen!"

"Countdown! Countdown!"

"Start counting down from 1!"

"Now! Immediately!"

The order was given, and the countdown began.

"Ten thousand, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

The countdown sounds were initially scattered, but gradually became more synchronized.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-one

One by one, voices began to converge, and Lin Yu watched as those people closed their eyes and groped their way towards their respective residences.
-
Although they were groping their way through, their movements were actually quite familiar.

It was as if they had done the same thing many times before.

Lin Yu stood there, bewildered, trying to break free, but found that the ropes binding him were incredibly strong and he couldn't break free at all.

"let me go!"

Lin Yu shouted and questioned:
"What do you want? Why are you tying me up here?!"

"Shut up!"

The man who looked like the leader stepped forward.

He was wearing an eye patch, so he couldn't see where Lin Yu was.

He could only barely discern Lin Yu's direction by sound. After turning to Lin Yu, he shouted sternly:
"Stop shouting!"

We don't want to hurt you!

"But if you want to live, you must listen to me!"

"Listen to me, close your eyes, put on this blindfold, and then count down from ten thousand!"

"This won't take you much time!"

"After the countdown, everything will be over."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Lin Yu watched in bewilderment as the leader groped his face, desperately shaking his head to avoid the blindfold that was forcibly put on him.

The other party seemed to have grown impatient with him, and after another failed attempt, the leader shouted:

You must listen to me!

"Do you want us all to die with you?"

"The wounded beast is coming! We didn't have to die!"

"you!"

"all because of you!"

"We don't even know where you came from! But you've dragged everyone down with you!"

"We're still willing to save you, but we have no other choice!"

"Close your eyes, don't let everyone die because of you!"

"Why?!"

Lin Yu had absolutely no idea what the other person was talking about.

"Why must I close my eyes? Why did you all die because of me??"

"What is a wounded beast? Does it mean it won't kill me if I close my eyes?"

"I have no idea!"

The leader's fingers had begun to tremble slightly, and Lin Yu could clearly see that he was indeed extremely fearful, or rather, extremely nervous.

"If you're so eager to know, then go ask the wounded beast yourself!"

"You can die, but you can't die. Even if you die, the result will be the same!"

"You must close your eyes. You can no longer bring any new changes to this village, not even a little bit!"

Please, please.

"No matter where you're from, listen to me, okay?"

The leader's tone became somewhat humble, and Lin Yu frowned, but ultimately cooperated and put on the blindfold.

Suddenly, everything went dark.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and continued to ask:
"I will cooperate with you."

"But can you tell me now what exactly you're hiding from?"

"Is that some kind of monster? Or some kind of enemy?"

"You don't even know what a wounded beast is. You don't belong to this world?"

The leader's hand, which was stroking the blindfold on Lin Yu's face, suddenly trembled.

Then, he said in fear:
"It's over."

"It's completely over."

"You don't belong to this world; all our efforts have been in vain."

"Why??"

This is the word Lin Yu has used the most in the past few minutes.

Everything about the village puzzled him.

What wounded beast, what closed eyes, what countdown
And what else is "not from this world"?

I am indeed not from this world.

But so what?
Aren't I in the same situation as you?
Aren't we facing the same enemy?

He instinctively wanted to struggle and remove the blindfold again.

But then, a strip of cloth tightly bound his mouth.

"Stop talking. Stop talking."

The leader muttered to himself as he tightened the cloth strips. Lin Yu was breathing heavily, letting out low growls, but he could no longer utter a complete sentence.

His bound body began to ache, and even just standing up consumed a lot of his strength.

The countdown still echoed in my ears, as if it were some kind of...
A mesmerizing hymn.

Nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-one.

Nine thousand five hundred and forty.

Lin Yu felt his consciousness gradually blurring as the countdown began, and his thoughts also experienced a strong sense of "disorientation".

But it was this feeling that made him suddenly realize something.

and many more.

I had used this method myself to fight against the mind-reading ability of that "mysterious voice".

Are the people in this village doing the same thing now?
The so-called "wounded beast" refers to the owner of that voice?

Lin Yu immediately calmed down.

Count down from 10,000.

It won't take much time.
