My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"How so?" Leng Yihan asked. The two of them had been repeating the process of establishing and deducing theories recently, and so far his reasoning ability had improved a lot compared to before.

“These boots were forcibly put on. Both of the perpetrators were girls, but one of them was exceptionally strong.” Zhiyi pointed to the footprints in front of him. “Although they were trying their best to correct their steps, it’s clear that neither of them were adventurers who usually risked their lives. They were more like young ladies from noble families… Moreover, the distance of their strides shows that the perpetrators were not acting naturally. It must have taken a rather large stride to walk that far.”

"Could it be that the murderer deliberately created this feeling, trying to act like a nobleman, but didn't learn the movements well, resulting in this strange situation?" Leng Yihan asked.

“That possibility cannot be ruled out… but it seems certain that both of them are girls, and they are probably very in sync.” Zhiyi said, standing up. “Oh?” Leng Yihan heard Zhiyi’s words and began to pay attention to the footprints left by the two murderers.

Although there were differences in the intervals, the pace was almost identical, and even the parts that seemed out of place were the same.

“Is it possible that the murderer went back and forth twice?” Leng Yihan had just raised this hypothesis when she immediately dismissed it: “Impossible, the drying time was almost simultaneous, and besides, if she went back and forth, how did she manage to circle back the second time…”

"Phew... It's getting late, let's go back first, it won't be safe any later." Zhiyi looked out the window. Although it was still lively, there was no one else around Zhiyi's house except for the guards, which gave it an eerie desolation.

"Well, but I still have other things to worry about." Leng Yihan smiled wryly. "What is it?" The two of them now seem like close friends, probably because they got to know each other during the past ten days or so of investigating and spending time together.

“My other teammates… they’ve been depressed for over ten days now, and they haven’t recovered yet. I’m also worried that the killer might target our team again…” Leng Yihan’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

"Why would you think that?" Zhiyi asked.

"Anything is possible... I hope the murderer won't target anyone else. There are only four of us left in our team..." Leng Yihan prayed, clasping her hands together.

"...Alright, there's nothing I can do about your depression. You'll probably have to rely on yourself. But as for your safety... I'll do my best to ensure their protection. This will also fulfill one of the conditions we discussed earlier: surveillance."

"Thank you, Zhiyi." Leng Yihan nodded to Zhiyi, feeling a little embarrassed. At first, she was just freeloading, but now she relies on Zhiyi to solve almost everything. She can hardly play any role in the case; she's just been coasting along.

"Okay, let's go home first."

"it is good."

114 Nightmares (6)

A gentle evening breeze blew, and with the moonlight barely enough to see, two figures leaped across the city rooftops, heading towards Leng Yihan's direction.

The moonlight shone on the two men's short swords, making them gleam faintly...

-

"..." Leng Yihan frowned, an uneasy feeling lingering in her heart. Zhi Yi seemed to feel the same way, glancing around from time to time.

"wisdom……"

"Watch out!" Zhiyi pushed Leng Yihan aside, drew his short knife from his waist, and stabbed at the attacker.

No matter what, Leng Yihan was ranked number one on the God Ranking, so it was only a matter of time before she regained her footing after being pushed aside. But suddenly, she felt a sharp, piercing sensation behind her.

and also!

Leng Yihan's pupils contracted, and she decisively rolled to the ground, causing the attacker's sword to miss. "Run!" Zhiyi shouted, fighting and retreating with the attacker. Leng Yihan also drew her protective short sword, struggling to keep up with Zhiyi and the attacker in a close and evenly matched battle.

"Sister..." the attacker said.

"Time to put in some effort, little sister." (Second attacker)

"Understood." - Attacker 1

Is it time to apply force?

Leng Yihan immediately felt the pressure increase, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to coordinate with Zhiyi. She could only stand still and keep the two of them doing the backhand, unable to retreat any further.

The two gritted their teeth, relying on their tacit understanding built up over the past ten days and Leng Yihan's past experience to barely withstand the attacker's assault, but this was probably not even their full strength...

"Little sister, we need to hurry."

"Understood, sister." The two communicated again. Leng Yihan and Zhi Yi were unable to withstand the two's attacks. The offensive broke through their defenses, and they could only barely dodge the attackers' fatal wounds. Their small wounds were indeed increasing.

"Sister...so annoying..."

"Yes, sister, use all your strength." The two attacking sisters communicated again, their attacks becoming even more rapid, making it increasingly difficult for Leng Yihan to defend herself.

"Yihan!" Suddenly, a golden light flashed on Zhiyi's right hand, instantly forcing back the attacking sisters and exposing a huge opening in their defenses.

"Opportunity!" Leng Yihan's eyes flashed, she took a step forward, and her short knife stabbed out in an instant. The attacker's sister wanted to help, but was stopped by Zhiyi's knife again, while Leng Yihan's short knife was already close at hand.

"puff……"

"Pfft—" Both knives stabbed each other at the same time, but neither hit a vital spot. Leng Yihan only wanted to survive, so she desperately clung to the attacker and stabbed again, starting a blood-swapping game of who could out-stab the attacker.

As the final stab was delivered, the attacker's sister and Zhiyi turned around simultaneously, pulling Leng Yihan and her sister away as if by unspoken agreement. They then maintained a certain distance from their opponent, the four of them cautiously watching each other.

"Who exactly are you?" Leng Yihan said in a gloomy tone, with several wounds on her body bleeding profusely. If they were to stall for a little longer, Leng Yihan would probably lose her fighting ability.

"why."

"We need to answer your questions?" the attacker asked stubbornly. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither of them expecting Leng Yihan and Zhi Yi to be so difficult to kill.

"Tsk... I originally thought he was like that young scholar, someone whose head could be chopped off with a single strike." One of them clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, his words instantly enraging Leng Yihan.

"Hehe...hehehe, so it was you who killed Zhixiu." Leng Yihan 'laughed,' but her laughter caused her whole body to ache, and her wounds immediately started bleeding again. "In that case...we must take her back for interrogation, right, Brother Zhiyi?"

“Yes.” Zhiyi’s expression was not good either. “Zhixiu had no grudge against you. You took his life… so naturally I will take it back.”

"Big talk."

"How can someone who's clearly at a disadvantage say such things?" the attacker sister, who also had many knife wounds, said sarcastically.

"Tsk... Come on over if you dare!" Leng Yihan immediately retorted sarcastically, "Heh, why don't you come over?" Then, the two engaged in a very long argument, which ended when Leng Yihan lost her composure due to excessive blood loss.

By the time Leng Yihan reacted, the blade was already inches away.

Am I going to die?

This thought subconsciously surfaced in Leng Yihan's mind.

I still don't know where I am or who I am, but it's okay. If this is really a game... then I should go back. After all, I've been here for so long that I've almost forgotten that I don't belong here.

Just when all three people present thought Leng Yihan was doomed, a hook grabbed Leng Yihan's clothes and pulled him backward, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"elder sister!"

"Run!" Realizing that reinforcements had arrived, the two attackers immediately turned to run away, but after only a few steps, they crashed into a stone wall that appeared out of nowhere.

A flash of blue light appeared, catching the two off guard. Their weapons had vanished, and Si Xiaoshui stood not far away, his eyes flashing with hatred.

"Hey... First you killed Zhixiu, and now you want to kill the other two? In the end, I'm afraid our whole team will suffer." Lan Mu walked out of the alley behind Leng Yihan and Zhiyi. The two were still trying to escape when three more stone walls suddenly appeared, forming a square, but the side facing them was empty.

"Don't run." Leng Yihan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yilin standing on the roof, the evening breeze blowing through her hair. "Revenge."

The three of them were no longer the listless and dejected people they had been before; they were full of energy. "What's going on with you guys?" Leng Yihan was a little confused.

"Hmph, we're not that down on our luck." Lan Mu seemed quite smug. "We only slumped for three or four days before secretly throwing ourselves into the investigation. That kind of surveillance... it would be too easy for the captain to escape!"

“Is that so…” Zhiyi suddenly seemed to understand something. “No wonder my subordinates reported that you were sleeping the whole time… So it wasn’t the real body after all.”

After the four little ones handed the weapon to Zhiyi, they surrounded the two attackers who had been cornered. The two were unarmed and had no chance of escaping from the combined power of a level two ability (body enhancement), a level one ability (creation), and a level four ability (acceleration).

"elder sister……"

"Sister, use your power." Hearing their words, Leng Yihan became wary and took a step back. Suddenly, the two people in front of her disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? Where did they go..." Si Xiaoshui was a little confused. Their enemy was right in front of them, but suddenly they disappeared... "...Was it a level one ability, teleportation?" Zhiyi was also a little confused. Leng Yihan did not answer, but stared carefully at the square built of stone walls.

Leng Yihan was so focused that he almost forgot his wounds were still bleeding. His mind was surprisingly clear, and he eventually caught a glimpse of something amiss...

"I can't take it anymore... I can't hold on any longer..." Leng Yihan suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face pale. The others immediately rushed over in alarm, and Yilin made medical supplies on the spot.

"Zhiyi...give me two knives..." Using her teammate's body as cover, Leng Yihan whispered to Zhiyi. Although Zhiyi was puzzled, he handed the knives to Leng Yihan.

“Okay…” Leng Yihan stared at the slowly moving black shadow, roughly estimated the distance, and then seized the opportunity, using all her strength to suddenly stand up, and both knives flew out at the same time.

"Thud." One stab landed, the other missed. One of the attackers suddenly appeared around the stone wall, and the stab severed one of her feet.

"Grab her!" Without Leng Yihan saying anything, the four little waters rushed forward and dragged the sister who was no longer able to resist the sneak attack back.

"Aruo!!! Run!!! Don't worry about your sister!!!" the attacker shouted loudly. She had lost too much blood and was no longer able to escape. Leng Yihan was in no better shape. The knife wound had spread to all his wounds, and Leng Yihan also collapsed to the ground. Yilin immediately gave him a set of treatment services.

Lan Mu rushed out to the spot where Leng Yihan had missed with her slash, fearing that the other person was probably there. After treating Leng Yihan, Yilin went to tie up the attacker sister tightly and bandage most of her wounds before taking her back for interrogation.

After wandering around for a while, Lan Mu realized he couldn't find it and had no choice but to return. But by letting go, he had released a venomous snake. Who knew if she would launch a suicidal attack, determined to take one of them with her even if it meant her death?

"...I advise you, come to our place and turn yourself in within three days, and we'll spare your lives. Otherwise... in three days, your sister will bear many undeserved crimes for others and be beheaded in public." Leng Yihan looked up at a certain spot as he spoke. The last time he saw that person leave was from that spot, but he didn't know if she was still there.

"A-Ruo, don't come back! Run! Don't worry about me... mmm..." The attacker's mouth was stuffed with a gag. As expected of the captain, she can create anything. Is there anything in the world she can't create after becoming powerful...?

"Take him back and interrogate him." The group was overjoyed to have caught one of the murderers who killed Ji-soo, and they took the guy back home.

"Sister..." After the others had gone far away, A'Ruo appeared on top of the square formed by the stone wall. "What should I do..."

115 Nightmares (7)

"How's the interrogation going?" Leng Yihan asked, looking at Zhi Yi who had come out of the interrogation room. "It's terrible. We haven't gotten anything out of them except their names." Zhi Yi's expression was not good.

"Oh? So stubborn." Leng Yihan was a little surprised. "Yes, I cut off her left hand, severed her right leg, shaved her head, and used the wooden donkey torture, but she still wouldn't confess. I really had no choice, and I couldn't kill her now." Zhi Yi said without changing his expression, which made Leng Yihan's scalp tingle.

"Alright... what are their names?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Sister, the person I interrogated is named Lin Yao, and the younger sister is named Lin Ruo." The two said as they left the interrogation room.

It's already noon. Last night, after returning home, the group first imprisoned Lin Yao. After taking a nap at home, Leng Yihan and Zhi Yi came to the Adventurers' Guild's interrogation room early the next morning and have been torturing her ever since...

"Not dead yet...?"

"Yes, she's physically very strong. I really don't know how you managed to win a close-quarters stabbing fight against her... By the way, are your injuries alright?" Zhiyi asked.

"Not bad, my captain is still my captain. I wonder if that person named Linruo heard what I said yesterday..." Leng Yihan stroked her chin.

"What if you didn't hear it? What are you planning to do the day after tomorrow?" Zhiyi asked.

"Then kill her. I'll have the captain come and help treat her. Keep interrogating her in the meantime. I don't believe she's that stubborn. If we really can't pry her out, then there's no point in keeping her alive."

“…You’ve changed a lot.” Hearing Zhiyi’s words, Leng Yihan was a little puzzled. “Really?” He didn’t know how much he had changed. He was just changing himself to adapt to the way of life in this world.

“You used to be very indecisive, you didn’t have the courage to kill someone so easily, did you?” Zhiyi smiled.

"Huh? Is that how it is? So that's how I used to be... I've never felt this way before. What should I do next..." Leng Yihan began to think about what she should do today.

"Let's talk slowly on the way. Let's go back and have lunch first."

"it is good."

The two set off from the guild and arrived at Zhiyi's villa after walking for more than ten minutes. This is where Leng Yihan and the others are currently living.

When the guards saw that it was Zhiyi and Leng Yihan who had returned, they quickly opened the gate. As they walked to the villa, Zhiyi unlocked the door with his key. On their way to change into slippers, they smelled the fragrance coming from the living room and couldn't wait to go there.

But there was an extra person in the living room today: a girl with a short black ponytail, wearing a light blue dress, sitting on a stool in the living room. Although the other three did not react, it was clear that their eyes were not friendly.
