Chapter 275 Incorporating the Eternal Night Tower

"Awesome!" The old man was completely dumbfounded.

That was a B-level evil spirit! Although it looked like an innocent little girl, its strength was enough to crush any other spirit here. Yet Lin Jue directly touched its head, which was no different from pulling a tiger's whiskers.

Fu Yu was also shocked by this scene. Lin Jue's behavior was indeed not like that of a normal person. No normal person would think of touching the head of a B-level evil spirit. Only a B-level evil spirit would take off a living person's head and touch it in his arms.

He Wen's demeanor was aggressive; she would not hesitate to attack if Lin Jue dared to make any unusual movements, even if he was not considered an enemy.

But to her surprise, Lin Jue simply placed his hand on her hair, tidied up her messy strands, and then withdrew it.

Looking at the still somewhat weak living doctor in front of her, He Wen's expression was momentarily dazed. This feeling reminded her of the former dormitory manager, but the other party was completely different from the former dormitory manager in both appearance and strength, with only a slight similarity in temperament.

He Wen didn't attack Lin Jue as the old man had expected. Instead, she shook her head and said, "I've forgotten most of my memories of him, and there's no question of forgiveness..."

At this moment, she seemed to have let down all her guard, and her attitude towards Lin Jue became much gentler.

"It's okay, you can go inside my raincoat first. After you see your father, I'll clear up the misunderstanding between you." Lin Jue carefully crafted his words, trying to make his true intentions less obvious.

He Wen glanced at him. Although she was a blind woman, Lin Jue felt as if she was surrounded by eyes that could see all his thoughts in a single glance.

Trying to catch a B-rank Pokémon is definitely a very dangerous thing, especially when the other party sees through your true intentions.

"Let bygones be bygones. All I want now is to rebuild the Eternal Night Tower."

However, He Wen didn't say much. Her attitude wasn't very good at first, but it changed slightly for some reason. At least she was no longer as wary of Lin Jue as before.

Lin Jue bent down and touched the ruins at his feet: "How do you plan to rebuild it?"

The Eternal Night Tower is now completely in ruins, and most of its residents have died. Reconstruction is no easy task, and even if the tower is rebuilt, it will never be the same as before.

This was an extremely difficult problem, and He Wen had no clue what to do. She stood quietly on the ruins for a long time without saying a word, and finally just sighed.

Yes, how should we rebuild it?
She doesn't have any plans at all. Can she rebuild just by saying she wants to?

"Actually, I have an idea." Lin Jue had a plan in mind: "I heard Blood Shadow talk about the former building manager before. Actually, I am also a very kind person. I also have multiple properties in the present world and have taken in many homeless ghosts."

"How about this, you take these residents with you to the real world, and I will settle you in. It's a beautiful place with clear waters and no one around. No one will find out that you live there."

“I will not leave here. This is my home.” He Wen refused without any hesitation.

“Home is where family is.” Lin Jue looked at the group of bewildered and strange residents: “Your homes have been completely destroyed. Rebuilding them will not be a simple matter. They moved into the Eternal Night Tower for a stable life, but now they are homeless.”

In order to deceive He Wen, Lin Jue even started to play the emotional card. After all, these tricks were left behind by the previous owner, and were practically his tricks. Now, he was just getting them to follow the original owner again.

He Wen fell silent. As the current owner of the Eternal Night Tower, she had to consider the residents' future arrangements. Lin Jue's words seemed to make sense, but something still felt off. Lin Jue pressed his advantage, and before she could react to the fact that, according to his words, it didn't matter where they lived, he continued, "Don't worry, I have absolutely no other intentions. I simply want to help you, not only because I'm a very kind person, but also because your father is my friend, and you're practically my niece. Although you might not agree, that's how I feel in my heart."

While fabricating a connection, he continued his charade: "You certainly won't believe me based on just my word, but I have other witnesses, look at them..."

He pointed to the old man behind him: "They are all the ghosts I took in, and they can all testify for me."

The old man dodged Lin Jue's pointing finger.

Lin Jue's expression remained unchanged as he pointed at Fu Yu: "This one also followed me voluntarily; he knows my character."

"Me?" Fu Yu's eyes widened, and he moved to the side.

Lin Jue's finger followed: "He's a little shy, but he's definitely following my tricks."

It's not my business?

Fu Yu looked completely bewildered, wondering why Lin Jue had dragged him into this. The old man, however, saw through everything and knew that Lin Jue was after Fu Yu. He walked over, patted the latter on the shoulder, and sighed, "According to the rankings, you'll have to call me Boss from now on."

What is this all about?

Fu Yu became increasingly confused. Was this some kind of new type of encrypted call?
Lin Jue wasn't embarrassed at all, and continued to lie: "Of course, they are all my friends. You might not believe their testimony, but Blood Shadow fought alongside me. He can testify that my character is impeccable. It's a pity he's dead..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a small bead of blood on He Wen's shoulder bouncing around: "I'm not dead yet!"

He leaned closer to take a look, and there was Blood Shadow! The other party was not dead, and had even turned into such a tiny mascot.

“Big Sister, what he said is basically true.” Blood Shadow had a good impression of Lin Jue and echoed his words: “Back in school, he helped us unconditionally. He is indeed a very kind person. The living person that Xiao Ming was following was him.”

"Hey, right, where's Xiaoming?" As he said this, Xueying hopped around and looked behind Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was very satisfied with Xueying's assistance, and the other party's words reminded him: "Xiaoming is with his grandfather, this is his last wish."

"I suppose there are people you can't forget or things you want to do in this world. I can help you fulfill your last wishes, provided that you don't do anything immoral."

He said this to the group of eerie residents, implying that no elf in the world would dare to say they had no regrets.

Whether it's the people you want to see, the things you want to do, or the revenge you haven't taken, they're all regrets.
