I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 83 What is true?

"Wow!"

In the bathroom, Lin Xing'an splashed water on his face.

But the cold feeling still couldn't bring him back to his senses from the hellish scene in the box.

The waves of palpitations and nausea still made Lin Xing'an feel dazed.

"vomit!"

Xu Can, who was standing aside, was desperately rinsing his mouth, holding his throat, and rubbing the blood from the corners of his mouth.

As she retched as if she wanted to vomit out her heart and lungs, her appearance changed frame by frame like a movie scene.

"An An..."

She looked up.

When he saw her face, Lin Xing'an froze in place as if struck by lightning.

“…Aunt…”

"How could it be you..."

"How could it be you..."

He stared blankly at Yu Shi, who was supposed to have flown away on the day the committee came to visit.

No wonder after seeing the scene in the birdcage, "Xu Can" was so incredulous...

No wonder "Xu Can" was so emotional after seeing Lin Yunchen eat Yu Yu's meat...

No wonder "Xu Can" spared no effort to help Lin Xing'an even when he himself was in danger...

This face, which looked 70% like Yu Yu, made Lin Xing'an tremble all over.

Yu Shi knelt on the ground feeling aggrieved and hugged him tightly, leaning on his shoulder, crying silently and uncontrollably.

The immense pain and hatred, along with her warm tears, continued to stimulate Lin Xing'an.

His mind went blank and his fists clenched unconsciously.

After a long time, Yu Shi took a deep breath and stood up.

"My aunt's ability is a D-level [Parallax], which isn't a transformation type, but an illusion type."

"I myself will not change, I can only change the visual image of those around me, so that the way they see me changes."

"Even my so-called release of the ghost realm and transformation only altered other people's vision."

"So don't be afraid. I'm your aunt in your eyes, but in the eyes of others, I'm still 'Xu Can'."

She wiped the tears from her face and took Lin Xing'an's hand.

"Come on, An An, get back to the car."

Yu Shi opened the door and walked out of the hotel with Lin Xing'an.

After leaving the cold ghost realm, Lin Xing'an gradually came back to his senses under the caress of the warm breeze.

"The gluttons who violate the rules...will be eaten..."

Sitting in the car, Yu Shi looked through the window at the extremely enthusiastic gourmet and murmured.

Then, the car fell into silence.

“…Is it because of me…”

"So... is Yu Yu really helping me..."

"But...how can it be against the rules? Aren't the rules of the Taogui unbreakable..."

After a long time, although the car surveillance camera hanging on the rearview mirror was working silently, Lin Xing'an still asked.

The home surveillance after returning home that night, the traffic lights today, and the real-time images on Lin Yunchen’s phone before dinner...

He was already convinced that there was an invisible "hand" helping him with electronics.

"An An, sister has indeed been silently protecting you during this period of time."

"But this violation wasn't because of you."

Yu Shi shook her head.

"..."

Lin Xing'an was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

yes……

If Yu Yu violated the rules because of him, it would prove that he had been exposed.

The test at today's dinner should have been caused by Yu Yu's violation, which led to him being suspected again.

But if it wasn't to help him, why else would Yu Yu violate the rules?

"Last Friday night, after you went home and fell asleep, my sister woke me up and told me she was back."

"She took me to the abandoned building, where I met Mr. Orange and the others."

"My sister used her ability to change their memories, and together with them, she cleared all traces of the entire building."

"Then he told me that if anyone from the committee came the next day, I should use my ability to pretend to be Xu Can." Yu Shi's words made Lin Xing'an stand there in a daze.

It turned out to be Yu Yu...

No wonder there were obvious dark circles under Yu Yu's eyes that morning.

No wonder Teacher Orange said the next day that all traces of the building had been cleared when she went there...

"But...ah...but..."

Lin Xing'an's eyelashes trembled, and his mind was filled with a lot of questions.

"Aunt, what exactly is Yu Yu's ability?"

"How did she know I left so many traces in that abandoned building?"

"How could she have accurately guessed that the committee would come the next day? Did she know everything I did that night?"

"And...most importantly...why would she help me?"

"If she had always been on my side, then those temptations, those scenes of her mercilessly trying to eat me up... what would that even mean?"

"She...she...what on earth does she want to do..."

"Am I wrong?"

"I really... can't tell..."

Lin Xing'an shook his head, his mind sometimes showing the gentle mother image of Yu Yu, and sometimes her cold and testing look.

Love and murderous intent continued to blend in her body.

Which one is the real Yu Yu?

In this world of greed, in this world of despair, what is real?

What on earth should I believe?!

"An An, you are right."

"Auntie can only tell you everything she knows."

Seeing Lin Xing'an almost collapsed, Yu Shi held his hand soothingly, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

"An An, your aunt looks a lot like your mother, right?"

"But my aunt was adopted. My sister and I are not biological sisters, and our relationship wasn't that good in the past."

"Because I discovered very early on that she was a glutton."

"My sister is indeed naturally gentle and considerate of my feelings, but I know that the tenderness and love she shows me is no different than that she shows to a favored pet."

"Yes, Yu Yu was a gentle glutton at that time, a gentle glutton who treated people as 'livestock' and regarded people as food."

"Until seven years ago."

Yu Shi paused.

...Taoyuan Incident?
Lin Xing'an was also stunned.

Sure enough, is all this related to the Taoyuan incident...

He pursed his lips nervously, and did not interrupt Yu Shi, but continued to listen attentively.

"By then, I had already escaped from that home and used my abilities to become a 'fool' in South City and opened a coffee shop."

"I thought I would never see Yu Yu again in my life, but until seven years ago, she pushed open the door of the shop. She was alone, but she ordered two small butter lattes."

"There was a cup that she ordered for me. She knew it was my favorite drink."

Yu Shi patted Lin Xing'an's hand and spoke softly.

"My first reaction was what you would think. I thought I was exposed. I thought she wanted to eat me. I was overwhelmed."

"Because Yu Yu's ability is too strong, I have no ability to resist at all."

"But she changed. She took me to sit in the corner of the store and looked at me very gently."

"I know that gluttons are good at disguising themselves, and I know that humans should never trust gluttons, but..."

Yu Shi frowned slightly. "At that time, I could feel that she had changed. She had become... more like a human..."

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath.

He could fully understand Yu Shi's feelings.

Because after returning from the train station, he also felt the change in Yu Yu.

but……

Who would believe it?

I believe that gluttons can really change overnight.

Do you believe it?
"My sister and I talked for a long time that day."

"I asked her how... she became like this."

"She said it was because of the 'Soul Formula.'

　I feel really sad when I think that Yu Yu is gone.
