"Okay, let's go down. We've found it."

Below the two, a fire flickered in a long-abandoned low house, exactly the same environment as the cute little girl in Lin Yu's memory.

They walked carelessly and without any precautions into the low house that was burning with flames, and a dark gun barrel was pointed at the two uninvited guests.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, we're not enemies!"

In front of them, a cute little girl with two small braids on either side of her face was pointing an automatic rifle at the two of them. In other worlds, she might just be seen as a child joking with a toy gun, but in this world, the little girl was carrying a real weapon!

"You two are Lin Yu and Xia Na, ranked number one by IP!"

Even the seemingly ordinary little girl showed obvious surprise and put down the gun in her hand.

"Oh, it's such an honor to be remembered by such a cute little girl."

Lin Yu bent down and ruffled her hair: "Can you tell your brother your name?"

Although we already knew this from the original work, it would be better if she told us herself in real life.

"Qianju Natsuyo."

She bowed slightly to the two of them. In the original work, this girl with no personality traits fought against dozens or even hundreds of Gastrea alone to help Rentaro cover their retreat. In the end, she asked Rentaro to kill her when she was still human because her erosion rate exceeded 50%. Despite having a high IQ, she was surprisingly single-minded, which made Lin Yu, who was watching the series back then, feel sorry for her.

"Xia Shi-chan, your name sounds a lot like my Shana's. You seem to be injured. Can you let your brother take a look?"

Seeing the blood slowly dripping from Xia Shi's drooping arm, Lin Yu felt a pang of heartache. Nothing was more painful for a lolicon than seeing a little girl bleed and get hurt.

"Ah."

Xia Shi seemed to trust Lin Yu a lot, and almost without hesitation rolled up his sleeve. On his fair arm, stained red with blood, a hideous wound that ruined the overall aesthetic appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.

Does it hurt a lot?

Lin Yu carefully extended his hand and asked at the same time.

"I'm used to it."

The brief answer stung Lin Yu's heart slightly. In other worlds, girls Xia Shi's age would still be growing up under the care of their parents, but she had to fight monsters. These simple three words only strengthened Lin Yu's determination to change this world.

"Divine Healing Spell".

Suddenly, Lin Yu's outstretched arm emitted a holy white light. At first, Xia Shi was surprised as to why Lin Yu's arm was glowing, but she quickly focused her attention on the wound on her arm.

"It's...restored?"

Xia Shi, who possesses the dolphin factor, has an astonishingly high IQ, but even she can't understand why the wound on her arm could heal completely in an instant.

"This light is so warm."

Xia Shi squinted her eyes lazily, as if she were enjoying herself. She suddenly felt that she was in a better state than ever before.

"Alright, it's definitely better for girls to be pretty."

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, then casually waved his hand, and soon a large water sphere condensed in the air.

In the past, Lin Yu might have only been able to condense ice crystals using ice flames, but with the continuous improvement of his control, he was even able to create water.

Although they may seem similar, they actually require a very high level of self-control.

Lin Yu guided the water ball to wash Xia Shi's arms, his serious expression causing the latter to tilt his head.

Why are you helping me like this?

Xia Shi did not ask Lin Yu what the power that helped her heal her wounds was; this intelligent girl did not want to put anyone in a difficult position.

"It is everyone's responsibility to protect little girls!"

Lin Yu looked at her intently, completely ignoring the twitching at the corners of Xia Na's mouth beside him.

"Mr. Lin Yu, have you ever killed anyone?"

A sudden question made Lin Yu pause slightly, then he nodded without hiding anything.

Have you ever killed someone?

Xia Shi hugged her knees tightly. Only at this moment did she act like a ten-year-old girl, her eyes filled with unease and fear.

"It was the governor's order that 'the credit for killing that bastard Masked Man will not be given to anyone.'"

Xia Shi repeated what Yi Xiong Jiangjian had said, but his voice trembled slightly.

"It was really scary, my hands were shaking the whole time, but that's about it, I'll get used to it after a while..."

Lin Yu interrupted what seemed like a self-comforting remark.

"It's not a matter of habit."

Lin Yu said softly.

"Killing is not terrible; what is terrible is not knowing why you killed."

Lin Yu calmly looked at the night outside and slowly spoke.

“If it is done out of one’s own will and one will not regret it, then even killing someone is nothing.”

"However, if you feel guilty about the people you've killed, you'll never get used to it, no matter how much time passes."

Lin Yu looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him with a serious gaze, but his thoughts drifted back to his own experience at that age.

"Would you like to hear about my past?"

……

[I'm stuck on a writer's block, I'm stuck on a writer's block, I can't stress this enough. I shouldn't have kept struggling with it when I was stuck. I started writing at 2 PM and this is the quality I've achieved... I should have just taken a nap and continued later. What a miscalculation...]

137. Past

"Mr. Lin Yu's...past?"

Xia Shi was slightly taken aback. With her exceptionally high intelligence, she quickly realized that the seemingly young man in front of her had looked exactly the same as he did ten years ago. Even though he and Xia Na had been hailed as heroes over the past decade, there were still many unsolved mysteries surrounding them that had been overlooked or were impossible to explain.

"Yes, my past."

Xia Shi looked at Lin Yu's smiling face, but unexpectedly, he could sense the vicissitudes beneath the smile.

"if you can."

Because of Lin Yu's tone, Xia Shi could easily deduce that the past was definitely not a pleasant experience. Fearing that it might cause trouble for Lin Yu, her meaning was clear: if possible, she would listen attentively; if not, she wouldn't regret it.

"Don't worry, the past is the past. I won't be bound by the past; I'll only live in the present."

As he spoke, Lin Yu turned his gaze to Xia Na.

"Besides, it's time to tell you, Shana, even though it's not a pleasant memory."

Lin Yu knew very well that Xia Na had long wanted to know what had happened in his past, but she hadn't asked him out of trust and respect for him.

She was waiting, waiting for the day Lin Yu would tell her himself, and now, perhaps, that day was finally here.

"You two outside, come in too. I'm not going to eat you."

Before beginning his explanation, Lin Yu spoke loudly to the person outside the door.

Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the doorway. Rentaro Satomi warily shielded Enju behind him.

"What are you trying to stop? If I really wanted to do something to you, could you really stop me?"

Lin Yu curled his lips in annoyance. He didn't have a good impression of the cowardly original protagonist. It would be more appropriate if the loli behind him were in his place.

"Cough cough."

Rentaro Satomi nearly choked to death, and with a somewhat helpless expression, he touched his nose before walking in.

"We only came to check because we saw a fire here. If we've disturbed you, we'll leave now."

Rentaro Satomi was visibly uncomfortable in front of Lin Yu. He wasn't stupid; how could he not see that Lin Yu was intentionally or unintentionally targeting him? If this big shot got angry and froze him into an ice pop, there would be no way to reason with him.

"Alright, stop talking so much. Look how well-behaved Yeonjoo is. Learn from her."

This time, Rentaro Satomi was mentally prepared, but he kept thinking to himself that Lin Yu had no idea how mischievous Enju was, which was why he said that. Little did he know that Lin Yu was just trying to tease him, and in short, he just wanted to make him uncomfortable.

"You must be wondering the same thing," Lin Yu said, glancing at Rentaro Satomi, who was still standing there. "Why would someone like me, who is revered as a hero and a guardian deity, so easily take the lives of four ordinary people?"

"I am indeed quite puzzled."

Rentaro Satomi nodded obediently. He really couldn't understand how Lin Yu, with his status, could even surpass the ruler of Tokyo, the Holy Emperor, once his identity was made public.

No, to be honest, even the Holy Emperor would have to call this big shot "uncle." This was already proven in the conference hall, but there was so much information at the time that almost everyone overlooked this point. Now that we think about it, this person's identity is astonishing in every sense of the word!

"There are many people in this world that I hate, and you should know that yourself."

How could he not understand? Rentaro Satomi himself is the one who is disliked; he has that much self-awareness.

"But you are still alive and standing here now."

Lin Yu's words stunned everyone present except for Xia Na. Xia Shi's eyes darted between the two, as if trying to find out what had happened between them, while Yan Zhu became somewhat wary. Even though Lin Yu was the number one IP, she still dared to kick him.

However, Rentaro Satomi's thoughts were completely different at this moment. Although he did not know the reason, he was certain that Lin Yu hated him very much!

However, Lin Yu, who hated him so much, did not take his life. He even thought that Lin Yu had deliberately spared his life in that abandoned room!

Does Lin Yu seem like the kind of person who would be soft-hearted?

If someone were to ask this question, Rentaro Satomi would definitely be one of the most qualified to answer it, and the answer would certainly be no.

When Lin Yu was preparing to kill those two policemen, it didn't seem like he was killing people for the first time!

There was no fear, no panic, and apart from some abnormal anger, he showed almost no other emotions.

but!

Lin Yu never intended to kill him! This was clearly inconsistent with Lin Yu's style.

"In my eyes, there are many people I might hate, but there's only one kind of person I'd kill: those who deserve to die!"

"When I was ten years old, my parents died, not from natural causes, but from a premeditated murder!"

Lin Yu revealed a chilling sneer.

“My father is a policeman. Although he is very busy, he is my pride. But, I don’t know when it started, the smile on his face disappeared…”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling what his father looked like.

“When I was little, I loved wearing my father’s police hat. Whenever he was home, he would put the hat on the table in the living room. Every time, I would put the hat on and run to the mirror to admire myself. At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if I could become like my father when I grow up!”

Lin Yu rarely showed a smile with a hint of nostalgia. Xia Na walked to Lin Yu's side and took his hand, expressing through her actions—at least I still have you.
