I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 307 will definitely have a perfect ending.
Auditing the community.

Ms. Orange was dressed in a combat suit and sat cross-legged on the ground.

A long sword rested on his knees.

It's like waiting for a gluttonous ghost.

Just an hour ago, she clearly felt a prying gaze that made her heart pound.

That's the power of the gluttonous ghost.

The gluttonous ghost has already discovered them.

And if you consider the time...

It's time too.

The room was silent.

The only sound was the ticking of the quartz clock on the wall, its second hand moving one tick at a time.

"The Ghost Realm has arrived."

Yu Shi, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, paused for a moment, looked out the window, and said.

"Di!"

The microwave oven started making a sound.

She put on gloves and took out a baking tray from inside.

The top part is a soft, fluffy little bread roll.

The fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire room.

"An'an's favorite when she was little."

"I don't like to eat breakfast in the morning, so I just drink a bag of milk and eat a small bread."

She picked one up and muttered to herself.

He then smiled and put it down again.

After glancing at the locked room in the 16th month, she sat back down on the sofa.

Silence fell over the room once again.

Twenty minutes later, Teacher Orange's ears twitched, her hand gripped the sword hilt, and she quietly opened her eyes.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor and stopped at the door.

Both of them looked at the door at the same time.

Yu Shi swallowed silently.

He clenched his fists nervously.

And the ghostly domain that covered the entire neighborhood was also faintly fluctuating.

Like the master of a ghost realm...

My heart was also churning with emotions.

"Click..."

A faint sound came from behind.

It felt like a key being inserted into a lock.

The door opened.

Yu Shi and Teacher Ju both trembled slightly.

"..."

Lin Xing'an entered the room, closed the door, and looked around.

From his perspective, this was just an ordinary old house with no elderly people living there.

The air conditioner was covered in a layer of dust.

He pushed open the doors to the bathroom, the kitchen, and even the small room inside.

There is no trace of human activity or habitation.

Visually, there is not a single flaw.

If it were any other gluttonous ghost, given the time constraints, they certainly wouldn't linger here and waste their time.

but……

Lin Xing'an blinked and looked at the sofa.

There was no one on the sofa in his sight.

but……

Lin Xing'an opened his mouth, frowned, and concealed his emotions.

Yu Shi looked at Lin Xing'an.

Tears were already streaming uncontrollably from my eyes.

Teacher Orange was also biting her lip, her eyes slightly red.

They were right, their guess was correct...

Lin Xing'an was planted by Taoyuan within the Taogui.

The death of Taoyuan and the epidemic in the sixteenth month were both to help Lin Xing'an gain a foothold in the committee.

All of these are preparations for a larger goal.

Only in this way can Lin Xing'an accurately know where the sixteenth month is.

Only in this way did the voice in Yu Kexin's ears have a master.

Only in this way can everything be explained!
So now...

Teacher Orange looked at Lin Xing'an.

It's your turn to make a move, An'an.

She took a deep breath silently and said it to herself.

They can only move after Lin Xing'an makes a move.

Because of Yu Shi's abilities, the house was disguised without the slightest flaw.

So if they make the first move, it means they are deliberately exposing themselves.

This doesn't make logical sense.

Only if Lin Xing'an takes the initiative and the incident is reconstructed afterwards will there be no flaws.

Teacher Orange looked at Lin Xing'an.

His hand was already gripping the sword hilt tightly.

"..."

Lin Xing'an seemed to sense her gaze, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Whoosh!"

Clear water gathered around him.

"boom!"

Then, the water transformed into a giant dragon, raging and roaring through the small room before exploding with a deafening roar!

"Sa!"

The sound of breaking through the air came.

The space froze in an instant!
Countless water droplets were abruptly frozen in mid-air.

Amidst the piercing and crisp sound, it was as if a crack had been forcibly slashed through the space.

Countless streams of water, like bullets, pierced through the wall after a half-second delay.

But in the very center, it seemed to have encountered a watershed, turning into countless water mists.

Amidst the mist, Teacher Orange's figure flickered and appeared before Lin Xing'an.

The two looked at each other.

They both saw the complex emotions in each other's eyes.

But no one spoke.

"...Finally, I've found you..."

Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth, suppressing his emotions, and spoke.

Teacher Ju looked at him with red eyes, revealing a smile that Lin Xing'an knew all too well.

Fifteen years...

She closed her eyes and exhaled softly.

When she opened her eyes again, all that remained in Teacher Orange's pupils was a chilling intent!

"Buzz!"

The longsword in his hand trembled and emitted a series of soft ringing sounds!
No more time for Lin Xing'an to react!

She gripped the sword hilt with both hands, stepped on the water on the ground, and stomped forward!
He appeared before Lin Xing'an as if he had been teleported!

Lin Xing'an's pupils contracted!
Leaning back, the water rushed out, immediately creating distance!
Despite his extremely quick reaction.

But the blade still gleamed coldly, and it plucked a stray lock of Lin Xing'an's hair.

"Is this all you can do?"

Teacher Orange snorted coldly.

There was no pause in the action.

He stepped forward, swept his body, and with one hand holding his sword, he picked up a string of water droplets from the ground and slashed diagonally at Lin Xing'an!
"clang!"

A crisp sound was heard.

Lin Xing'an had also acquired a long sword in his hand at some point.

A longsword made of water!

He swung his sword and used it to shield Teacher Orange in front of him!
Then the body moved backward again.

As they created half a step of distance, the water swords transformed into ferocious venomous snakes, their mouths agape as they leaped from Teacher Orange's sword!
"Whoosh!"

At the same time, the surrounding water began to surge!

But the next second, Lin Xing'an's expression changed.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier around Teacher Orange!
The water he was controlling turned into wisps of mist before it even got close to Lin Xing'an, temporarily escaping his control.

It felt as if I had been pulled into another dimension!

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Teacher Orange relaxed her wrist to gather strength, and slightly bent and lifted her elbow.

The hilt of the sword was turned in the loosened hand, and the water on the sword was also shaken into countless water mists!

Just as Lin Xing'an re-established contact with the water, Teacher Ju's sword struck again!

"Oh!"

The sword tip, like a rainbow piercing the sun, carried a chilling aura and stabbed directly into the wall next to Lin Xing'an's neck!

Pierce through the solid wall completely!
If it had been just half an inch off, it would have pierced through Lin Xing'an's neck!

"An'an! Be serious!"

"You must kill me."

Amidst the clang of swords, Teacher Orange stared into Lin Xing'an's eyes and spoke softly yet sternly in his ear! Then she flicked the hilt of her sword!
The longsword that had pierced the wall was instantly pulled out!
"Sa!"

The sound of something cutting through the air came again!
Taking advantage of this brief opening, Lin Xing'an quickly dodged to the side and leaped into the air using the wall as a springboard!

In mid-air, he looked at Ms. Orange.

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

The hesitation and doubt from before were gone from his eyes!
The surrounding gloom surged for a moment and then disappeared into the air.

Lin Xing'an has regained control of the water flow!

As he focused his mind, Yu Shi's figure slowly appeared on the sofa in his peripheral vision.

Along with her figure appeared all traces of their life together in the room.

Yu Shi's ability, [Blinding], was ineffective against Lin Xing'an...

Come on, Ms. Orange...

Lin Xing'an clenched his fist tightly.

"boom!"

The water around him transformed into six spears, stabbing fiercely at Teacher Orange from six directions!

"Whoosh!"

It's still the same as before.

Before the water could even get close to Teacher Orange, it was churned into puffs of mist!

But this time, the water mist in the air adhered to the other spears without any delay!
Lin Xing'an suddenly grabbed the spear.

The muscles in his arms suddenly bulged!
"clang!"

This attack, which concentrated the strength of Lin Xing's security department, collided with the blade of the longsword in Teacher Ju's hand.

The crisp sound reverberated and spread outwards!
The whole room shook!
"Whoosh!"

Teacher Orange was so shocked that she took two steps back.

But as you step back, your wrists rotate, and your waist and feet twist simultaneously.

With a single movement, he avoided Lin Xing'an's center of gravity, allowing the blade to slice through the water.

Then, with a sudden burst of force, he once again severed Lin Xing'an's water flow!

But Lin Xing'an was prepared this time!

With a thought, the water instantly transformed into a giant hammer that fell from the sky!

"clang!"

Despite raising your hand to block in time!

But the force of that instant still made Teacher Orange's face turn pale!
She took the opportunity to loosen her grip on her wrist.

As the sword fell, he hooked it up with his foot, stepping on the water to widen the distance between himself and Lin Xing'an once again.

"An'an, you must kill me."

She stepped forward, sword in hand, her voice serious.

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

"Teacher Orange, Auntie, I will shift my focus to Sixteen at the right time and then retreat to the Ghost Domain."

"Use this moment to leave immediately!"

"Head south! To Tiexi District, there are no gluttons there."

"Once Sixteen Months is killed, the gluttonous ghost will stop searching."

Amidst the sound of flowing water, Lin Xing'an, carrying Teacher Ju's sword, spoke rapidly.

"We can't leave, or at least not all of us can leave."

"One of us must die here!"

“I sensed it just now, An’an. The gluttonous ghost already knows we’re guarding the Sixteenth Month, right?”

"If the gluttonous ghost doesn't see my body afterward, how will you explain that?"

"Moreover, there's the Ghost Domain. How do you explain the fact that your Ghost Domain suddenly loosened for a moment? That doesn't make sense."

Teacher Orange speaks at an extremely fast pace.

The sword in his hand became even sharper.

As the sword flashed, it left several wounds on Lin Xing'an's body!

"I can explain!"

Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth.

"I can explain that my goal is only sixteen months."

“I can say that I deliberately loosened the Ghost Domain, deliberately gave you a chance to escape and make you give up on the Sixteenth Month.”

Lin Xing'an said, biting his lip.

Teacher Orange closed her eyes and shook her head.

"An'an, the gluttonous ghost isn't stupid."

"The gluttons know that our mission is to protect the sixteenth month, and they know that humanity will not choose two cowards to do this task."

"We know that even if you release the Ghost Domain, we won't leave; we'll fight to the death."

“An’an, when the gluttonous ghost finds out we’re here, we’re doomed.”

Teacher Orange's words made Lin Xing'an's breathing quicken.

"...I can explain. The moment I released the Ghost Domain, Teacher Orange, you had to leave. You absolutely had to leave."

"An'an, you can't leave."

Teacher Ju looked at Lin Xing'an, and her actions suddenly changed!
He actually charged head-on into Lin Xing'an's attack!

"Oh!"

In a moment of urgency, Lin Xing'an instantly withdrew the water flow!
Control the water blade to explode directly.

"Believe me! You can survive!"

"An'an, An'an, listen to me."

Amid the explosion, Ms. Orange staggered to her feet.

"Whether or not it can be explained clearly, things are already imperfect when you need to explain them."

"An'an, I can roughly guess your current situation."

"This matter must be done perfectly. Only by doing it perfectly can we truly gain a foothold on the committee."

"Only when we die will this be perfect, beyond explanation, and indisputable."

Teacher Orange threw down the sword in her hand.

Blood was gushing out from the sleeve of her right arm.

Lin Xing'an had no idea when his attack had caused harm to Teacher Ju.

"An'an, be good."

"As long as we live, you will always be suspected."

“If you want to join the committee, if you want to become a complete ‘glutton,’ we must die.”

The moment Yu Shi's voice came through, Lin Xing'an felt a lump in his throat.

"Auntie..."

He turned his head and looked at Yu Shi, who was smiling at him.

This smile seemed to overlap with the gentle smile Lin Xing'an had just given Yu Yu when he saw her off in Nancheng.

"Listen to me, An'an, you have to save everyone."

Yu Shi spoke again.

Lin Xing'an felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Auntie, I'm not that noble. I don't even know that many people..."

"My purpose in joining the committee is to save you all..."

“If the price for me to gain a foothold on the committee is the death of all of you, then…”

At this moment, an indescribable emotion welled up in Lin Xing'an's heart.

"How could I make a mistake in a place like this..."

He bit his lip hard.

A silence fell over the room, a silence that seemed to suppress immense emotions.

He knew, of course he knew his current situation.

Zhang Guang always harbored suspicions about him.

Zhang Guang would seize upon any unusual activity, preventing him from being elected as a candidate committee member.

He also knew that when the gluttonous demon found out that Ms. Orange was protecting Sixteen, Ms. Orange would have no choice but to die...

If he survives, he will inevitably face unprecedented suspicion!
but……

It was him, it was him who let Taotie know that Teacher Orange was by Sixteen's side...

"I……"

"Oh!"

Lin Xing'an's face was instantly covered with blood and foam!
He paused for a moment, then looked up.

"Captain! Are you alright?"

Mai Yuran's body slowly appeared in the blood.

Her ethereal hand had somehow reached into Yu Shi's mind and solidified just as it appeared.

"Oh!"

Yu Shi's body slowly collapsed in front of Lin Xing'an.

"Captain? Captain!"

Mai Yuran kicked Yu Shi away.

She ran up to Lin Xing'an and shook his shoulder with concern on her face.

Lin Xing'an stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

That look made Mai Yuran's heart skip a beat.

"Captain, you...you..."

Mai Yuran opened her mouth, but what came out was not a sound, but a torrent of blood.

She looked down in disbelief and realized that she had been cut in half at the waist without her noticing.

"Ah!!! Sis!"

A scream came from Ma Lingbu!
Lin Xing'an ignored it completely.

"Teacher Orange, I'm sorry, please believe me."

"I'll find a way, there will definitely be a perfect ending!"

The silvery-white light illuminated the night sky.

Lin Xing'an strode into the river of time.
