I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 200 Senior Sister, I Like You

"Junior! Hold on! Hold on a little longer! Three minutes soon!"

"Only ten seconds left!"

"Five seconds!"

"it is good!"

Ke Ke pressed the stopwatch, and Lin Xing'an instantly took back the ghost domain.

Holding it for so long made him feel dizzy from lack of oxygen, and he staggered.

"Junior, you've worked hard. Being able to last three minutes on the first day is already amazing!"

Ke Ke quickly supported Lin Xing'an, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Lin Xing'an also blinked, shook his head, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that maintaining the ghost realm would be so difficult..."

He sighed with a smile.

All day today, Ke Ke was teaching him how to control the ghost domain that was integrated into his own ability attributes within a small range.

This kind of control is much more difficult than releasing it completely at once.

Lin Xing'an tried his best but could only hold on for three minutes when the ghost area was only one square meter.

"What's wrong, junior?"

Seeing that Lin Xing'an looked a little unhappy, Ke Ke poured him a glass of water and asked with some concern.

"Nothing, maybe... a little tired?"

Lin Xing'an looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window and raised his hand to place it on his heart.

For some reason, starting from six or seven o'clock tonight after dinner, he felt a strange sense of unease in his heart...

I've always had a bad feeling.

It's like something is happening...

Is it from my aunt?

Lin Xing'an suddenly thought of it for no apparent reason.

"Senior, are there any other tasks?"

He calmly withdrew his gaze from the window, drank a glass of water and asked.

"No, you have exceeded your quota again today. You can have a good rest now."

Keke checked the time.

It's almost ten o'clock in the evening.

“Time flies by so fast…”

She sighed as she tucked her hair behind her ears.

One day passed just like that...

Every time I spend with Lin Xing'an, the time passes so quickly...

"Senior, the Minister and the others in South City... should be going well, right?"

"It went very smoothly. They are now resting in South City and will return early tomorrow morning to handle the mainframe of the Coordination Department."

"That's good."

Lin Xing'an lay on the bed, "Then tomorrow... can I also participate in the operation?"

He looked at Koko and asked.

"Well...ok..."

Koko nodded.

But his face did not show any great joy, instead there was a trace of barely perceptible loneliness.

Because everyone has returned, the mission to resolve Taoyuan is over, which means she can no longer be alone with Lin Xing'an...

And Lin Xing'an will officially join the committee and start to get busy.

Although she didn't ask, she knew that Lin Xing'an would definitely choose to join the Operations Department.

As the director of the Archives Department, she hardly ever saw Lin Xing'an during her daily work...

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Keke also sighed.

Although I have been training Lin Xing'an these past few days and introducing the committee to him, but...

I'm really happy...

If only I could spend a few more days alone with my junior...

Maybe I can even be with him...

Thinking of this, Keke actually blushed a little.

But the only regret is that I can only stay in this safe house.

I can’t go out and play with my junior classmates…

She couldn't transform into Jiang Xiaojiang like she did that day, strolling with Lin Xing'an under the falling snow in North City...

"Senior, senior?"

Lin Xing'an blinked and raised his hand to wave in front of Keke.

"Oh! It's okay, it's okay!"

"Junior, I... uh... you should rest, go to bed early, have a good rest, and wait for news from the minister tomorrow!"

Koko came back to his senses and saw the face almost right in front of him, and quickly waved his hand.

"No! Junior, I'm ordering a midnight snack. I have to eat another meal tonight!"

"A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, so I must give you a lot of nutrition!"

"This midnight snack is crucial!"

Keke blushed and raised an eyebrow at him.

"...Okay, you should rest well too, Senior!"

Lin Xing'an watched Keke leave the room.

After closing the door, the expression on his face gradually faded.

"What happened..."

That bad premonition is still there, and it's even getting stronger.

Lin Xing'an looked out the window again, closed his eyes and felt the gloom he was spreading outside.

Five minutes later, he let out a sigh.

At least within the range of his perception, he didn't notice anything unusual...

"I hope I'm overthinking it..."

Lin Xing'an didn't waste any more energy.

He got into the shower and turned on the hot water.

Steam gradually rose, and Lin Xing'an also lay in the bathtub.

Although he said that he would not waste any more energy, after letting his body relax in the 46-degree hot water, he once again silently felt the gloom outside.

"..."

Two minutes later, Lin Xing'an frowned slightly as if he had noticed something.

Half a minute later, warm steam stirred in the small bathroom.

Lin Xing'an opened his eyes and looked at the mirror in front of him, which was covered with a layer of white mist.

Above it, as if someone was writing, a question mark slowly emerged.

"Tell me, there is no surveillance, Xu Zhe is not here."

Lin Xing'an turned on the shower.

He nodded amid the sound of rushing water.

"Tonight, we assassinated Xu Zhe in South City."

Came the ethereal voice of my sister.

Lin Xing'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Am I exposed?"

He was silent for a moment.

He asked directly without being curious about the cause or process of the action.

Since Taoyuan took the initiative to ask his sister to come to him at this time, then this action must have failed.

With Xu Zhe's personality...

Lin Xing'an lifted his dripping bangs and pursed his lips slightly.

“No exposure.”

My sister told Lin Xing'an what happened in South City in the most concise language without any reservation.

Her voice was so soft that if you didn't prick up your ears, you couldn't hear it over the sound of the shower water.

In less than half a minute, she told Lin Xing'an the current situation in a few words.

From the reasons for the assassination, the assassins, to the failed assassination, and their subsequent rescue plan.

Including Xu Zhe's current injured state and his fatal weakness.

"..."

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes.

"Where is the best ambush location for Xu Zhe, the only way he can enter the North City?"

He asked after taking a few seconds to process it.

"here."

The mist on the mirror changed again.

My sister was like a robot, drawing a simple but clear map on the small mirror with her fingers.

"I see."

Lin Xing'an nodded.

"Thank you."

He looked into the void and said.

The steaming water mist floated for a while.

No one spoke in the bathroom.

The only sound left was the sound of running water from the shower.

"This place... is beyond my reach..."

Lin Xing'an looked at the gradually blurry map in the mirror.

It's considered the outer ring of the north city.

It is at least ten kilometers away from the safe house where Lin Xingan is now.

It was completely beyond the two-kilometer radius that Lin Xing'an could control...

He was of no help at all...

"how so……"

He turned off the shower, put his hand on his chest, and felt his heartbeat which was a little disordered due to worrying for a long time.

These past few hours, I've had this ominous feeling...

It still came true...

And it was my aunt and the others who got into trouble...

If Yu Shi was really killed, then...

Thinking of this, Lin Xing'an's body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't even dare to think about it... How could Taoyuan make such a decision?
Doesn't he trust me at all?
Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth.

He naturally knew that Xu Zhe was suspicious of him like a leech.

He also knew that Taoyuan wanted to kill Xu Zhe to clear all obstacles for him.

But in fact, there is no need for a paradise.

He can fully handle Xu Zhe's investigation and suspicion on his own.

Lin Xing'an even had a preliminary plan to kill Xu Zhe in his mind.

There was absolutely no need for such a risk as Taoyuan, which ended up in such a situation...

"Did the destruction of the South City mainframe have such a huge impact on him..."

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Taoyuan has asked Teacher Juzi to rescue people.

"Sister Orange alone is not enough..."

It’s not that Lin Xing’an doesn’t believe in the abilities of Teacher Juzi and the others, but that he knows Xu Zhe too well.

"In order to test me, Xu Zhe will definitely return from South City alone with my aunt as quickly as possible."

"But he will definitely send people from North City to help him who is seriously injured..."

"He will definitely guess that Taoyuan may have follow-up actions."

Lin Xing'an clenched his fists, his brain working rapidly.

"Teacher Orange and her group are only three people."

"Sister Yunxi's ability is completely useless in such a vast open space."

"Xiao Le's abilities are very suitable for rescue and escape, but..."

Lin Xing'an stood up from the bathtub.

No matter how they think about it, it will be difficult for Teacher Orange and the others to complete the rescue mission, and they may even lose their lives.

"Can't Taoyuan send more brothers from North City?"

"No, I can't..."

Lin Xing'an wiped his hair vigorously.

There are spies of the Taogui among the humans in North City. Xu Zhe will definitely let that damn traitor keep a close eye on him!

Once there is any unusual movement, Xu Zhe will take countermeasures immediately!

By then, more gluttonous ghosts will be involved, and the rescue will be even more difficult!

"But I can't go to this location now..."

"Is it really true that all we can do is sit here and pray that Teacher Orange can succeed?"

Lin Xing'an put on his clothes, stood in front of the window, and looked at the heavy snow outside.

This concerns my aunt's life...

"No...I must go."

A hint of gloom appeared in Lin Xing'an's hands.

He fought in secret, without showing his face, so Xu Zhe couldn't find him.

Even if you don't fight, just observing in the dark will do!
Because he still has the trump card of [Death Rollback].

If the operation fails unexpectedly or Yu Shi dies, he still has room for error.

although……

He must not use this ability unless it is absolutely necessary.

But, is there anything more desperate than Yu Shi's death?!
Moreover, the ability to roll back is not used, it is mainly used to defend against Xu Zhe.

Given that Xu Zhe is in a low health state with half of his hearing lost, can he really hear clearly?

"No... when using rewind... you still have to stay far away."

"It's acceptable for Xu Zhe to hear or feel it, but he absolutely cannot see it..."

Even though Xu Zhe was low on health, Lin Xing'an still had to give him enough respect.

"Is there any reason to go out..."

Lin Xing'an forced himself to calm down.

Let Yinhui become his appearance, and then... sneak out?

Under his control, the darkness around him gathered together and turned into his appearance in the blink of an eye.

"No... I still have time for a midnight snack..."

Lin Xing'an slammed his hands together.

The gloom disappeared!

During this period, Keke would have supper with him every day.

Although the shady disguise was invisible on the surface under Lin Xing'an's control, it could only fool fools like Jiang Xiaojiang.

Want to hide it from Keke?
Totally impossible.

And once discovered, you will be completely exposed.

"Wait until we have supper?"

"It's too late. By then the daylilies will be cold..."

Lin Xing'an bit his lips and clenched and unclenched his fists.

Find a reason to go out directly?

Keke would definitely follow him.

I will never let him leave alone.

He couldn't go with Keke...

"...Wait...bring Keke..."

Suddenly, Lin Xing'an's breath stopped as if he had thought of something.

The map his sister had just drawn for him appeared in his mind again.

That location...

He remembered that it was right next to the North City Ice and Snow World!

When he was working part-time at the Great World, he observed the outer ring of the North City.

"In other words, as long as we reach the Ice and Snow World, I can control Yin Hui to save people within a very short distance..."

"At worst, I can use the darkness to observe the battlefield situation."

"As a last resort, I will initiate [Death Rewind]..."

Lin Xing'an quickly went over the plan in his mind.

Go to the Ice and Snow World with Keke and use Keke as a witness.

If Xu Zhe asks about it at that time, he will have an absolutely strong alibi!
"Huh! It works!"

Lin Xing'an took a sip of water.

Now, there are two main difficulties with this plan.

The first is how to convince Ke Ke to go to the Ice and Snow World together.

Second, when we got to the Ice and Snow World, how could we control Yin Hui to save people at the maximum distance of two kilometers in front of Ke Ke.

"Controlling Yin Hui in front of Ke Ke is not a difficult task if I don't suppress my strength."

"The blushing, hot flashes, and shortness of breath caused by distraction and manipulation can also be disguised as nervousness about going out on a 'date' with Keke."

"The main problem now is getting Keke to go to Ice and Snow World with me."

"Zhang Guang and Xu Zhe must have emphasized to Ke Ke that I must not be allowed to leave..."

Lin Xing'an glanced at the time.

It's already past ten o'clock in the evening...

“…I can’t care less…”

Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth.

Yu Shi’s safety was a matter of great concern to him.

"call……"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.

If he wanted to convince Keke to stand on his side and disobey the minister's orders, he had to resort to drastic measures...

The only thing he could do was to make Keke completely become his side...

Lin Xing'an thought as he fixed his appearance in front of the mirror and adjusted his expression.

Then he opened the window, and with the help of Yinhui, he used the snow on the windowsill to make a snow-white rose.

But after thinking about it, he changed the rose into a ring.

After going over the plan in his mind again, Lin Xing'an blinked at the mirror.

The temperament on his body changed instantly.

The expression on his face also became tense.

It’s not that I’m worried about Yu Shi’s nervousness, but... it’s like I’m nervous about confessing my feelings.

"Clang clang clang."

Lin Xing'an hid Xue Ning's ring behind him and knocked on Ke Ke's door. "Senior, I... have something to tell you..."

"Ah? Oh! Wait a minute! I... I just took a shower and... I haven't put on any clothes yet..."

Keke's intermittent voice came.

Then there was a series of clanging and banging sounds coming from the room.

A minute later, Keke, with her hair tied up and wrapped in a bath towel, opened the door.

"Just got out of the shower..."

She covered her chest and waved to Lin Xing'an with a red face.

"Junior, what's the matter? Is it about training?"

After closing the door, Keke asked, "Is it still about..."

After turning around, her voice choked.

Lin Xing'an was holding a ring made of snow in his hand.

This made Keke's heart skip a beat.

"Senior, I like you."

Lin Xing'an looked into Keke's eyes and said.

And Keke's eyes widened little by little.

After taking a shower, my face, which looked like egg white, turned visibly red.

The whole person just looked at Lin Xing'an, standing there as if frozen.

This……

The person I like...is confessing his feelings to me?

is this real?
Am I... dreaming?

Keke's mind was blank!
"Senior, I like you..."

Lin Xing'an said again.

As he spoke, he walked up to Keke.

"..."

He looked into Koko's eyes, felt Koko's slightly warm breath, and lowered his head with his neck tilted.

Under Koko's trembling pupils, he closed his eyes and kissed Koko deeply on the lips.
