Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and everything familiar before her vanished. What appeared before Esdeath was still the gloomy tomb, and the horrified-looking Fallen Feather!

"Lin Yu...I still have Lin Yu!"

At this moment, Duoyu became flustered. She didn't have much ability in direct combat, so she wanted to run away as soon as she noticed Lin Yu's approach. However, she didn't expect that her ability would be the perfect counter to Lin Yu, causing her to lower her guard. If she had killed Gozuchi and his group immediately after controlling Lin Yu before leaving, she might not have run into Esdeath at all.

Perhaps she had used up all her good luck. If another strong person had come, her abilities would at least have ensured her successful escape. But Esdeath was different. Her heart was completely flawless, and all illusions would only be crushed by her absolute power!

Damn it!

When Duoyu looked at Lin Yu, she realized that the latter was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Tina. Both of them were of the type with explosive attack power, and the aftershocks were making the tomb precarious, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"I should thank you instead."

Esdeath walked slowly toward Fallen Feather.

"As a reward for letting me see the tribe again, I'll let you die easily!"

Those who don't know the situation might think that Esdeath said this on purpose to anger Doyu, but in reality, just as Esdeath said, she really let Doyu go. Otherwise, given her sadistic personality, she would definitely have used every means to torture Doyu, who controlled Lin Yu. Giving her an easy death was already an extraordinary act of mercy.

Even though she personally annihilated her own tribe in the illusion, Esdeath felt extremely happy. She had no psychological burden in killing those beings. What made her happy was seeing her loved ones again. This was the real reason why Esdeath decided to spare the fallen feathers.

258. No more running away! [Two-in-one]

"die?"

Fallen Feather bit her lip tightly. Her most effective mental attacks had no effect on Esdeath. She seemed to be at her wit's end. But don't forget that she still held her biggest trump card.

"Then let Lin Yu die first!"

Suddenly, the Fallen Feather raised its head and let out a sharp cry. The black mist that had been swirling around the book it had been holding burst forth, but as the black mist dissipated, it revealed its original form.

"What exactly is the background of this book?"

Even Esdeath's gaze was drawn to the book that had revealed its true form. The strange object, which she had previously ignored, now radiated a soft, breathtaking light.

Exquisite? Sacred? Magnificent?

That seems to be true, but it's completely different; it's a purer feeling.

"not good!"

Lin Yu's attention was briefly drawn to the strange book, and by the time Esdeath realized it, the black mist emanating from the book had already enveloped him.

"Don't even think about getting close to Onii-chan!"

Tina, who was slowing Lin Yu down, slashed at the black mist with a hand chop after dodging Lin Yu's attack. Unfortunately, the black mist was formless and intangible, and no matter how strong her attack was, it was useless.

"It happened!"

Tina was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but her abilities were only manifested in attack, and she had no way to stop this inexplicable power. She could only watch helplessly as the black mist enveloped Lin Yu.

"If you want me dead, you won't get away with it either!"

Fallen Feather revealed a resentful expression. She should have been the luckiest one in this battle of the agents, but because Esdeath arrived in time, she became the most tragic one. Her proud ability was completely ineffective against Esdeath, and the victory she had gained vanished in the blink of an eye. Such a huge contrast made Fallen Feather start to stop at nothing!

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first!"

Seeing that she couldn't save him, Esdeath immediately thought of killing Fallen Feather, the manipulator, to relieve the siege of Wei and rescue Zhao. Her ice sword instantly condensed in her hand, and she slashed at Fallen Feather's head.

However, when faced with her attacks, Fallen Feather neither dodged nor evaded.

"If you kill me, Lin Yu will only be lost in the past and will never be able to wake up!"

The ice sword finally stopped at the neck of the fallen feather. She could even feel the chill emanating from the ice sword and the pain of her skin being cut.

"Oh, I see. Then I've changed my mind."

Esdeath is not someone who can be threatened. If Duoyu wanted to use Lin Yu's safety to threaten Esdeath, her idea would never succeed in the first place.

"In that case, I'll let you experience what pain is first. Don't worry, you won't die, or rather, I won't let you die. I hope you can hold out a little longer in my hands, otherwise it will be too boring!"

Esdeath licked her lips. If there was anything besides fighting that could excite this sadistic general, then torture and discipline would definitely be one of them!

Moreover, Esdeath's training skills are incomparable to ordinary torture. Many tough men who would rather die than submit have even lost their personality completely in her hands, but those were just Esdeath's playthings. This time is different. This is the first time she has seriously wanted to make someone experience what the ultimate pain is!

……

Where am I?

In a hazy state of consciousness, Lin Yu felt his head spinning and couldn't remember anything.

"Where did this filthy brat come from? Get out of here!"

A sharp pain shot through his stomach, and Lin Yu felt his body fly out of his body before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Was I hit? Why? Who am I?"

Questions began to rise in his mind. Lin Yu tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them fully. He could only see the blurry scenery through a slit. It seemed that he was in an alley next to a restaurant.

The smell of swill filled his nostrils, making his insides churn, but not from disgust, but from craving.

His body stood up uncontrollably, and he staggered into the depths of the alley. Behind him, he heard the disgusted voice of a restaurant waiter: "What bad luck! Last time, I got my wages docked because this brat came to steal food. That kick just now was a bit too light. If he dares to come back again, I'll beat him to death!"

The cursing and swearing gradually faded away only after Lin Yu had walked far away. At this moment, Lin Yu's consciousness seemed to become a little clearer, but at the same time, the information transmitted from his senses to his brain became clearer.

He was hungry, very hungry!

Where can we find something to eat?

With this question in mind, Lin Yu continued walking forward. The alley wasn't deep, and soon he saw the exit, where a bustling scene of traffic unfolded before him.

"It's so lively."

This was Lin Yu's first reaction, but when he arrived here, he felt the disgusted and disdainful looks from the people around him.

"Are they looking at me? I..."

Lin Yu lowered his head and looked at his body, his thoughts suddenly coming to a standstill.

"This is...me?"

A tiny body, filthy clothes, reeking of a sour stench—is the body I see really mine? Why has he become like this?

Questions kept coming, but now there was an even more important problem to solve.

He was so hungry...

Ding, ding!

A crisp clinking sound rang out in front of him. Lin Yu stared blankly at a coin that was still spinning on the ground in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this coin should be able to be exchanged for food.

Lin Yu picked up the coin from the ground in a daze, watching the man and woman walk away intimately after throwing the coin away. For some reason, the man's low voice clearly reached his ears.

"That brat is filthy. Remember to stay away from people like that in the future."

"But she looks so pitiful."

The woman's profile seemed to show a hint of reluctance.

"Who knows if it's fake? Aren't these kinds of things reported enough?"

The man curled his lip, looking disdainful. As they walked away, Lin Yu could no longer hear their words clearly. He just stared blankly at the coin in his hand. After a long while, he stood up with difficulty and left aimlessly, leaving the coin, which could have been exchanged for a little food, quietly behind.

"You brat! How dare you come here again! Seize him!"

The shouts of the shop assistants echoed in the small restaurant, and a thin voice came running out with faltering steps, but was quickly caught up.

"You dare to steal again? I'll beat you to death!"

The fists and feet struck mercilessly, but apart from muffled thuds and groans, there were no other sounds.

"Tch, not even a sound. He's probably mute. What bad luck! If he dares to come again, I'll kill him!"

Finally, the shop assistant kicked it, glanced at the dirty steamed bun held in the little boy's arms, and left with a displeased expression.

"Finally, there's something to eat."

Lin Yu's consciousness was like that of an outsider, unable to control this body, or even the body's thoughts; he could only watch all of this quietly.

The stolen steamed bun wasn't big, but it was enough to fill the stomach of a child who was only about ten years old. After the dusty bun was eaten, the fire of hatred that could almost destroy a person's reason began to burn fiercely. 'Lin Yu' dragged his battered body away from the alley. His body was able to move again, although it was a little difficult. The action he had been looking forward to could finally begin.

Each step he took was excruciatingly painful, but he didn't stop. 'Lin Yu' tried his best to avoid pedestrians and even consciously avoided hidden surveillance cameras. He himself couldn't explain why he was able to detect the presence of those cameras.

Following his memories, Lin Yu arrived at a high-end residential building. Because of his small stature, he easily squeezed through the fence of the complex.

This wasn't his first time in this neighborhood. He remembered coming here with two of the most important people in his life, but now those two people who had accompanied him were no longer with him.

"Sixth floor..."

Looking up at the height, a height that was unattainable for him at his current level, he had to go up, he absolutely had to!

He tore off his clothes to cover his hands, and Lin Yu began to climb up the building's doorpost, but he was too weak from being injured and starving for so long to climb up. His hands went limp and he fell to the ground.

What's that sound outside?

"There was no sound at all, you must have misheard."

"I think I heard something fall down. Could it be a thief?"

A window on the first floor was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man poked his head out, looked around, and found nothing, so he had to close the window again.

"Did you see anything?"

"without……"

"I told you you misheard, but you didn't believe me. It's probably just some stray cat or something. There's no thief in our neighborhood. Go to sleep peacefully!"

The dazzling lights went out, and silence returned. Lin Yu emerged from behind the stone pillar where he had been hiding and began climbing the pillar once again, a challenge that was far too difficult for him.

His arms started to ache; his body was clearly lacking in exercise, thin and weak.

But this time he didn't fall; instead, he gritted his teeth and climbed upwards.

Lin Yu succeeded. He didn't fall again, but stood on the second-floor windowsill. This community clearly prioritized aesthetics over safety. Despite having an access control system, they erected stone pillars at the entrance, providing Lin Yu with a platform to climb.

After climbing to the second floor, Lin Yu encountered no further obstacles. He climbed over into a house with an unlocked window and the owner was not home. Families living in this community were all wealthy and powerful. Lin Yu could easily take something from this house to solve his immediate problem, but he chose to leave instead. He took the escape route and went up the stairs to the sixth floor. He walked along the wall to the window, and as expected, the window was still open. Lin Yu could feel a cool breeze coming out of the window.

It was the height of summer, and this family clearly disliked the lack of ventilation in the air-conditioned environment, so they had the air conditioner running while the windows were open.

That's so extravagant...

With this thought flashing through his mind, Lin Yu climbed over the wall without hesitation. Through the moonlight streaming in from the window, he could see the two people sleeping soundly on the bed. After just a glance, he left the bedroom, went straight to the kitchen, retrieved a sharp knife and a towel hanging on the wall, and then returned to the bedroom, closing the doors and windows.

Looking at the two people sleeping soundly in front of him, Lin Yu's face remained calm...

The sirens wailed throughout the neighborhood the next day, and a large number of police officers and media gathered there. It took less than a day from when the police chief was found out that he and his wife could not be contacted to when their bodies were found. The gruesome deaths of the two shocked the entire country. In addition to the chief's wife being murdered in her sleep in bed, the heavily pregnant police chief was covered in cuts all over his body, as if he had been slowly tortured to death. The final cause of death was excessive bleeding.

This shocking tragedy that gripped the nation was not the end. More cases began to surface on the police department's desk. No one could have imagined that all of this was just a bloody revenge carried out by an insignificant little boy!
