The Heartbeat of the Cruel Elves

The him just now was not him!

He is Turner!

When the Mind Flayer absorbs the target's brain, it not only absorbs the mental power, but also the victim's feelings and memories!

There is even a saying that when the mind flayer feeds on the brains of living beings, the extreme fear it arouses in the minds of the other party is a delicious food for them.

As for him, when he absorbed Turner's brain, he not only absorbed the other party's mental power, but also absorbed his memory.

Now, perhaps because the timing was right or because of the appearance of the female dark elf, the dormant part of his mind related to her was aroused, and the memory belonging to Turner awakened.

Sure enough - after figuring out what happened just now, Li Yin quickly turned his attention back to the original situation.

The memory of Turner that he had just read verified another hypothesis he had proposed before:

It wasn't that Turner intentionally told Mircella about his plan, but the female dark elf in front of him was the real driving force behind the plan!

But why did she do that?

I have no grudge against her. How could a humble slave who has nothing to do with me be worth her so much painstaking calculation?

As one mystery was solved, a bigger mystery soon shrouded Li Yin.

"Answer my question, slave!" Li Yin's continued wooden expression made Myrcella unhappy. She restrained her smile and asked sternly.

Li Yin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

The oppressive gaze of the dark elf was right before his eyes.

"Sir," he shrugged, with a confused and innocent smile on his face, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You--" The female dark elf was also stunned. She frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect that the other party would still deny it even in this situation.

She suppressed her anger and asked patiently, "Why do you think Turner's body appeared in the ogre's room the night before last?"

"My lord, please forgive me." Li Yin still smiled and said, "I think what you really want to say is why Chief Turner appeared in the ogre's room the night before yesterday, right?"

"After all, corpses can't walk," he added meaningfully, and then added to himself with relief and pleasure, except for one.

He shrugged and continued to answer Myrcella's question helplessly:

"Who knows?"

"How can we humble slaves possibly guess what the lord is thinking?"

"Besides, this is not something that we slaves should speculate about..."

Seeing the other party's eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire, he immediately straightened his body and said in a very upright manner:

"Of course, if this is your order, I am willing to follow it."

"I think Instructor Turner may be preparing some special guidance for those two ogres." Li Yin stated his "analysis" in a serious and earnest manner.

"He seems to have always favored the two ogres, often feeding them slaves who were not trained seriously as food... Perhaps Instructor Turner admired their brute strength and wanted to make them more ferocious warriors, so he planned to teach them some additional skills."

"It's a pity that they repay our kindness with evil." Li Yin said with emotion.

"Also, I think it's probably because Instructor Turner doted on them and fed them blood, which fostered their ferocity and ultimately led to this tragedy."

"Are you done?" The female dark elf stared at Li Yin coldly.

"That's all." Li Yin responded sullenly, with an innocent expression on his face as if he had suffered a great injustice because of the coldness of the female dark elf.

Suddenly, a tall and strong hand grabbed his collar and lifted his face to the same level as the hand's owner.

"Slave, your stubbornness and arrogance are simply breathtaking!" The female dark elf glared at him, gritted her teeth, and spoke word by word, her saliva almost spraying on his face.

Then, her angry expression suddenly turned into a disdainful sneer, "But, men are all the same, they are all ignorant and unaware."

"Let me be frank - I think the person who actually killed Turner has not been brought to justice!"

Li Yin's eyes widened, his face serious: "Really?"

"Then we must quickly catch this cunning murderer who is so vicious and dares to frame someone else!"

"Oh, I said it, it's just as I expected. Those two ogre brothers are actually quite easy to get along with when they are not eating humans. They don't seem like murderers..." He sighed with regret.

"You...you..." The female dark elf was furious and looked at Li Yin in disbelief, her teeth chattering.

"You guy, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid!" Li Yin responded very calmly and fluently.

"Then why don't you plead guilty?"

"Confess? Confess to what?" Li Yin shouted in great surprise.

What a joke! At the same time, he felt powerless to complain. Wouldn’t it still mean death if he pleaded guilty?

"Could it be?" He seemed to have just realized it, and said in a slow and shocked voice: "Lord Myrcella, do you suspect that I have something to do with this case?"

"Excuse me," he said innocently, "Lady Myrcella, if you have any clues about the accidental death of Lord Turner, you should give it to the person in charge of the case and discuss it with them, instead of looking for clues on me, a slave."

"I can't offer you any help in this matter."

"——You," the female dark elf stared at Li Yin in astonishment.

After a while, she suddenly threw him to the ground, and then looked at Li Yin who was rolling and climbing on the ground in a panic, and laughed in anger.

"You guys, are you really not afraid of death?"

"In that case, you just wait for the summons from the Tribunal."

"I guarantee that before tomorrow night comes, there will be a new rack erected here."

"I hope the memories those two ogres gave you are still fresh enough so that you won't be frightened by the unfamiliarity."

She said this coldly, then sneered and turned away.

Let me talk about the last chapter. I'm not wrong... It's not that wrong. It's a description of Turner's memory from Rein's perspective, not Turner's memory directly. Rein's subjectivity must be reflected. If you think it's weird, that's right. How can memory fusion not be weird? I'm just forcing myself...

Chapter 2: The Real Murderer ()

Li Yin dusted himself off and watched the dark elf go away with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Instructor Myrcella," he shouted loudly as if he suddenly remembered something.

The dark elf turned around in surprise and anger.

"I did forget it just now," he touched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Regarding the matter of Instructor Turner, I do have some relevant clues."

"I am a lowly person and have no authority to report to anyone. If you are going to report this to the person in charge of the case, please also report this."

"About the fact that Instructor Turner had an in-depth conversation with a female dark elf before the incident."

The dark elf turned around slowly, his face solemn.

"What are you talking about?" Her eyes were filled with surprise, caution, and even a flash of fear.

However, Li Yin, who was standing opposite her, first showed a confused expression, then touched the back of his head and said very seriously:

"Oh, did I just say that?"

"Sorry," he said with a sincere and simple smile, "I can't remember."

"Maybe it's because of the exhausting training that my memory is declining."

The dark elf's expression suddenly changed when she heard that. She frowned and quickly approached Li Yin, saying sternly, "Damn human, don't play tricks on me. Tell me, what do you know?!"

Facing the dark elf's furious and threatening eyes, Li Yin remained calm. He looked at the ferocious female dark elf in front of him with a bright smile and said:

"Don't panic, Instructor Myrcella. Although I can't remember it for the time being, it's just because I'm tired. Maybe I can remember it after a rest."

"…But," he shrugged and looked around, "standing here doesn't really count as a rest."

"Besides, the clues about Instructor Turner's accidental death are very important information. You don't want -" he winked at the female dark elf, "to be heard by the real criminals hiding in the dark, right?"

“So, I think we need a quieter, more private place.”

"Do you know of any place like that around here, Instructor Myrcella?"

The female dark elf stared at Li Yin, her eyes twitching, veins faintly visible on her fair face, her cheeks tense, her teeth creaking slightly, and her lips trembling angrily, like an angry lioness. Li Yin couldn't help but suspect that she would pounce on him and tear him to pieces in the next second.

But she didn't pounce on him.

She turned with grace, speed and precision, like a predator.

"Come here!" she said viciously.

In fact, the other party's suggestion made some sense. The subsequent conversation was indeed not suitable to be conducted in public, and she had originally planned to change the location.

However, this was something that she should have been in charge of, and she was very unhappy being bossed around by a slave!

Li Yin was behind her, observing her hurried steps leisurely for a while, and then quickly followed her.

Anger is the right thing to do, he thought to himself. Anger will expose more weaknesses in people, and anger will make people easier to manipulate - just like you did to Turner.

------

"Snapped!"

As soon as he entered the room, Li Yin still had a smile on his face, but the female dark elf suddenly turned around, grabbed his neck, and pressed him against the iron door that had just closed behind him.

The lioness was ultimately unable to restrain her claws.

"Speak clearly!" The female dark elf pressed Li Yin against the iron door behind her and asked viciously, "You bastard, what do you know?"

Li Yin forced himself to pretend that he was out of breath and coughing hard. After transforming into a ghoul, he didn't need to breathe at all. But if the dark elf in front of him noticed this, it would be very troublesome...

"What did you say to...Instructor...Turner?" He said with his eyes rolled back and gasping for breath.

"How could it be?" Mircella's pupils shook violently. She let go of her hand and stepped back. After being stunned and hesitating for a while, anger suddenly reappeared on her snow-white and flushed face.

"That idiot Turner, why would he tell you those things?"

"Why would he waste his time on a lowly slave?"

"I'm sorry," Li Yin stroked his throat which was pinched so hard that it hurt, and said with a still unsteady breath, "But the slave you called 'humble' is exactly the one he hates the most."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to impress him so easily, right?"

Hearing the human slave say this, Myrcella raised her head again and looked at Li Yin in horror. This sentence shattered her last bit of suspicion and fantasy. This lowly slave was not fooling her. He really knew what happened between her and Turner!

"In front of the person you hate the most," Li Yin's breathing had gradually stabilized, and a smile crept onto the corners of his mouth again, "It's inevitable that people can't help but suppress the desire to vent their anger and ridicule, especially when the other party seems to have completely lost the ability to resist, right?"

"Perhaps that's what Instructor Turner was like. Before I 'died', he told me his entire plan very freely. Of course, as one of the core figures in this plan, you naturally couldn't be absent."

"However, the only thing he missed was that his death would come a little earlier than mine."

Although he absorbed Turner's memories, Li Yin did not show that he knew everything that had happened - he did not want his excessive understanding of the situation to alert the other party. If the real way he obtained this information was exposed, if his identity as a ghoul or a mind flayer was exposed, then it would still be the end of him.

"Turner, that idiot!" The dark elf spat to the side and cursed viciously again.

"Human...oh no, the elf is already dead, so don't pursue his faults too much. We should focus more on the living." Li Yin comforted in an unusually "generous" manner.

"Well," he said at last, smiling, "we can now discuss your intentions in seeking me out, Instructor Myrcella."

Myrcella's chest heaved rapidly and her nostrils flared. It was obvious that despite Rein's "comfort", she still couldn't get rid of her anger towards the "stupid" Turner for a moment.

After a while, she finally calmed down, and then she looked at Li Yin, with a meaningful smile on her lips, which was completely different from her previous anger and recklessness:

"You are so smart, shouldn't you have guessed it, slave?"

Chapter 1: New Master ()

Li Yin's face was slightly gloomy, with a faint smile maintaining at the corner of his mouth.

"You have caught me in a trap and want to use me to your advantage and order me to do something."

He cast an inquiring look at the other party, waiting for his answer.

The female dark elf just smiled, staring at him deeply with eyes, without making any comment.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party still did not respond, Li Yin chose to go straight to the point and asked directly, "The question is, what exactly do you want me to do?"

The dark elf just stared at him calmly without saying a word, and a playful smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After a while, as Li Yin waited anxiously, she spoke slowly:

"I take back my previous comments about you, slave."

"You're not as smart as you think."

"You are so stupid that you don't even know where you are."
