My skill tree increases every day.

She probably doesn't know what that is, right? Should we remind her?

Lin Yu could hardly contain himself.

Ever since Lin Yu gained those memories, he has always had the urge to show off, and his desire to perform during this period is stronger than the sum of the previous twenty years.

Were they influenced by those memories?

Just like how I can't help but look at Chen Shuyan's hands now.

Her hands were as soft as tender shoots, and her skin as smooth as cream.

Although it's somewhat vulgar, but...

No! That's a bit too strange!

Lin Yu forced himself to look away.

His gaze shifted, sweeping over Chen Shuyan's phone before settling on her face. He asked in a casual tone, "Chen Shuyan, your phone charm is quite unique. Where did you buy it?"

Lin Yu couldn't resist and decided to subtly hint at his intentions.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuyan paused in her scrolling on her phone and looked up at Lin Yu.

"This? I didn't buy this. Someone gave it to me as a gift, so I don't know what it is."

"Could you please tell me who it is?"

"Hmm~ How about this, if you treat me to a meal, I'll ask her for you. What do you say?"

"Sure! I just got paid today, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"I remember Aunt Wang's place pays by the day, right?"

Chen Shuyan placed her slender, white hand to her lips, her eyebrows curved, and smiled gently.

Lin Yu hadn't expected Chen Shuyan to expose him so seriously. Startled for a moment, and seeing the slightly sly smile on Chen Shuyan's face, Lin Yu realized that she had also made a small joke in response to his words.

So she can make jokes like this?

I thought that top students like her from Wudong University were all aloof and cold.

"Cough," Lin Yu touched his nose and laughed, "Okay, but let's make it clear first, I can't afford anything too expensive."

"Of course." Chen Shuyan's smile deepened. "I happen to know a small restaurant that's good and reasonably priced." As she spoke, her fingertip lightly tapped the edge of her phone, the gray-white pendant swaying slightly with the movement.

"sounds good."

"Xiao Lin!"

"Ah, right away!" Lin Yu responded subconsciously.

Seeing that Lin Yu was still chatting and laughing with Chen Shuyan, Aunt Wang, who was getting a little impatient, couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Lin Yu then realized that he had been so focused on talking to Chen Shuyan that he had forgotten he still had work to do.

"Then you can go ahead and get busy."

"Then I'll go and get busy."

Two voices mingled, and the two men smiled at each other.

Lin Yu quickly grabbed the order slip and went into the warehouse, where he checked the goods while his mind wandered.

Chen Shuyan didn't seem to mind my invitation, could it be...?

No, Lin Yu, calm down! Think about the three great illusions in life—my phone vibrates, I can turn the tables, and she likes me!

But my phone really did vibrate.

Lin Yu took out his phone; it was a message from Liu Zhiyuan.

"Brother Yu, I saw a restaurant that's offering half-price discounts for customers celebrating their birthday this month. Isn't your birthday this month? How about we go out for a nice meal tonight?"

"Liu, I have plans for tonight."

"You have an appointment? Who is it? Do I know them?"

"Let's have lunch together, colleague."

"A colleague? The one from the store where you were moving goods? That pretty cashier? Wow, that's impressive, Yu-ge!"

"It's really not what you think," Lin Yu said helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "It's just... I have something to ask them for advice. Besides, they're a top student from Wudong University, why would they be interested in me?"

"What?! You think this is the college entrance exam?! You don't look at this when you're dating! Fine, fine, you're such a girl-lover. Too bad this month is almost over, my birthday is still six months away, half price for birthdays, what a rip-off!"

"You can use my ID card. You're wearing a mask, they won't check carefully to see if it's really you. My ID card is right here..."

"Hey! It's you again! You're such a beast!"

Lin Yu put away his phone and refocused his attention on the order form and cardboard boxes in front of him. One box, two boxes... The quantity was counted and verified against the order form. He wrote down the data, took the order form, and walked out of the warehouse.

"Aunt Wang, everything's ordered, no problem."

"it is good"

Aunt Wang was chatting with the neighbor at the door and only gave a brief reply.

Chen Shuyan stood quietly behind the cashier, counting the change in the machine. Hearing Lin Yu's voice, she looked up, her gaze met Lin Yu's, then naturally looked away, continuing what she was doing.

Lin Yu had just put away the delivery slip when his phone vibrated again.

It was still Liu Zhiyuan.

"Not found."

Couldn't find it? That's impossible. I clearly put it in that metal box for documents, at the very bottom of the drawer. That's where Lin Yu usually keeps these important odds and ends.

Lin Yu frowned, trying hard to recall.

The last time he used his ID card was last weekend when he went to an internet cafe for an overnight stay, and he definitely put it back afterwards. Ever since he gained this special ability, he has been consciously planning the placement of his belongings to ensure that he can find out what he has lost immediately.

Oh right! I haven't used my ID card this week, so I haven't looked at that place yet!

Could it be that...?

Lin Yu's vision went black as a memory suddenly flooded his mind.

His whole body was limp, and he didn't have the strength to move even a finger. He couldn't open his mouth or make any sound; only his neck and eyeballs could move slightly.

Lin Yu looked to his right and saw that his right hand was outstretched in a strange posture, like a rag.

With the palm facing up, the skin and muscles were carefully cut open, from the center of the palm and the back of the hand down to the joints of each finger, exposing the bright red and moist muscle tissue underneath.

There is no white.

Without the bones that should support the muscles, Lin Yu's right hand was now just a limp husk.

My right hand, which can hold a gun and take flight!

Lin Yu turned his neck with difficulty, looking to the left with a hint of extravagant expectation.

There was a person dressed in a wide black robe, wearing a hood, with his head down, his face hidden in deep shadows, making it impossible to tell if he was male or female.

The only thing visible was the large chain of knuckles that swayed gently on the man's chest with his movements. A rough estimate suggested it was made from at least fifteen fingers. This meant that besides Lin Yu, at least two other people had already been murdered.

The person in black robes wasn't wearing gloves, revealing a pair of slender, beautiful hands. Those jade-like hands were stained with patches of crimson, like scattered red jade. At this moment, those hands gripped an obsidian blade, aimed at Lin Yu's immobilized left hand—

Lin Yu's left wrist had been cleanly cut open, with the skin and flesh turned outwards.

My left hand, the hand that lets me take flight and hold a gun!

I wonder if any of you have ever had surgery under local anesthesia. Although you can't feel the pain, you can still clearly feel the blade cutting through your skin, the muscles being cut open, and the bones being removed.

The platform behind us gradually rose, and our view became wider.

Lin Yu was finally able to see a little bit of the environment inside the room.

Many mirrors of various sizes and shapes are scattered around, forming a strange arrangement.

Looking in the mirror, all I saw was a pale, familiar face.

An unprecedented fear swept over them.

Lin Yu had seen that face countless times in all sorts of mirrors since he was a child.

That was Lin Yu's own face.

"Don't be afraid," the man in black robes seemed to sense something, raised his head, and approached Lin Yu.

The man in black robes reached out his beautiful hands, stained with blood, and gently cupped Lin Yu's face.

She leaned forward and gently kissed Lin Yu's dry lips:

"We will be together forever."

"How can you go back on your word?"

At this moment, Lin Yu finally saw the beautiful, smiling face hidden in the shadows.

"ah!--"

Chen Shuyan brought her delicate face close to Lin Yu's, her amber eyes filled with worry.

"Are you alright? You don't look well."
