Lin Yi's Face

These people came because of Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan hopes that he can turn this new Chainsaw into Weird Artifact. Although this would weaken the Weird Object's abilities, it would also suppress the Weird Object's Rules, preventing Tao Yuan from going berserk as soon as he uses it.

The Rules the Chainsaw goes berserk when it sees blood is truly deadly. How can there be no bleeding in a battle? If Tao Yuan goes berserk and attacks his teammates as soon as they bleed, the Chainsaw is useless.

Lin Nieran initially disagreed, as creating A-Class Weird Object consumed too much energy and would take him a long time; he generally wouldn't take on the task unless he was short of money.

However, Qin Rang agree to the terms in exchange for information, and it took a long time for him to reluctantly agree.

"I've heard of you. You're from the organization that appeared in the live stream last time, right?" Lin Nieran pretended to be unfamiliar with his three cards and gave a perfunctory introduction.

After identifying the person, he looked thoughtfully at the huge Chainsaw on the ground. "Alright, I'll help you, but I heard from you that the Actor Aberration and difficult to deal with. These kinds of strange people are usually very good at hiding themselves. Do you know what he looks like?"

Qin Rang shook his head. "I've seen him before, but I don't think that's his real face. He seems to have Rules that make people vaguely remember him."

Bai Yang said, "If I see him again, I should be able to recognize him."

"Me too," Qin Rang said.

Lin Nieran frowned. "If we don't kill this Actor Aberration and break its Rules, will we be trapped in this day forever?"

Qin Rang said, "This is the only time I've ever had to do it again."

He had no more candy on him, and he gave the last one to Sheng Qingqiao, who was left in the Dark Side, where it would be more dangerous for her to participate in the game.

If we don't find Actor to resolve this today, things might get even worse tomorrow. Will he even remember what happened today after losing the candy? He can't guarantee that.

"The Rules for Actors aren't as powerful as you think. It's just a play; he can't control much, and he can't keep this play going for too long," Moonlit Night laughed. "You're overestimating it. It's just a thief hiding in the shadows, stealing faces. You've already ruined one part of the play today. As long as you break up the last part, you'll be fine tomorrow."

The Ji Fengbai, which had been relatively quiet along the way, also wrote:

[The Actor isn't the focus of this Instance; there's no need to spend time specifically looking for them.]

"You said the first scene is over, so is there a second scene?" Wang Ding asked.

"The first scene is yours with Wen Keke, is the second one mine?" Qin Rang hesitated, thinking of what he had encountered in front of Lin Yi's door. "Last time I provoked something strange that I shouldn't have. Lin Yi's parents are acting strangely."

"If you're talking about Lin Yi, I probably know more about him," Lin Nieran said. "My identity seems to make me friends with Lin Yi. I went to see him, but he didn't seem very welcoming."

Wang Ding's gaze softened slightly as he looked at him. "No wonder I saw you come to Building One on the first day; it turns out you were looking for him."

Although he couldn't go out, he kept a close eye on everyone downstairs and had already memorized the unusual actions of several people.

"Do you know how he got the injury on his face?" Qin Rang asked.

"I--"

Knock, knock, knock.

A sudden knock on the door startled them, and they stood up alertly.

"Xiao Ran, Mom has washed some fruit for your classmate. Open the door quickly."

Lin Nieran, who was sitting lazily on the bed, jumped up instinctively upon hearing this, and despite Tao Yuan's refusal, grabbed Tao Yuan's huge Chainsaw and shoved it under the bed.

An Ying and Qin Rang exchanged a glance and then crawled under the bed.

"Hey, you two, stop..." Lin Nieran was about to pull the two out when he saw them make eye contact with the little one under the bed.

The Little Dumpling, who had been shoved under the bed by Lin Nieran earlier and dared not move, stared with its dark eyes, blinking as it met the gazes of the two of them.

Qin Rang froze, his fox-like eyes narrowing slightly, but he quickly shoved himself under the bed.

An Ying stared at Lin Nieran with his pink eyes, his expression indescribable.

Lin Nieran: "... Don't look at me like that, like I'm a pervert. I can explain, really."

Finally An Ying also crawled inside. Lin Nieran, who had finally hidden everyone, tucked the blanket in and looked up, only to meet the meaningful gazes of the others, as well as the teasing look from her own card.

"Why are you taking so long? Did you do something bad in there?" The Weird Mother finally opened the door. Fortunately, Lin Nieran had some privacy at home, as the bedroom door could be locked.

Lin Nieran smiled and took the Fruit Platter from her hand, placing it on the table. Several classmates also stood up obediently to greet her.

"No way, we were just discussing where to go after school starts. There are only a few days left before school starts," Lin Nieran said.

"All you ever think about is playing. When are you going to improve your grades?" the Weird Mother said, exasperated.

"Okay, okay, let me talk to my classmate for a bit longer."

Tao Yuan and the others watched with admiration as Lin Nieran interacted with the Weird Mother so naturally, so effortlessly, without a trace of acting. They couldn't help but admire her even more.

As expected of a senior, no wonder he has the confidence to act alone. If this were a strategy-based Instance, this weirdness would be a nightmare.

This is even more impressive than Wen Keke, who uses Weird Objects to bewitch people.

The Weird Mother was Lin Nieran's words and didn't say anything more. She turned to Tao Yuan and the others and said, "Since you've come all this way, don't leave for lunch. My husband Lin has already gone to buy groceries."

Tao Yuan quickly refused; she dared not eat the food from the strange family.

"No need, Auntie. We have other classmates to visit, so we won't stay. Thank you, Auntie."

"Huh? Which restaurant are you going to next?"

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Let's go to Lin Yi's house."

"Lin Yi, that kid is a pitiful child too, you should go and see him."

Seeing her Weird Mother sigh, Tao Yuan immediately pretended to be puzzled. "Lin Yi is usually very quiet at school, so we don't know anything about his family situation. We wonder if his Dad are as easy to get along with as uncles and aunts?"

The Weird Mother laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you know how to talk. Lin Yi's family is quite pitiful. His Dad was an alcoholic in his younger years, and his mother married him because he was pregnant."

"I don't know if it's the alcohol that's causing the problem, or something else, but their child was born with mental issues." The Weird Mother pointed to her head. "Sigh, they say it's a kind of mental illness; when it flares up, he scratches his face to shreds."

Lin Nieran's hand, which was hanging by his side, suddenly tightened.

Tao Yuan frowned. "He drew it himself?"

"His family said it, how could it be false?"

Ji Fengbai and Moonlit Night noticed Lin Nieran's mood, and Bai Yang said in time, "That's really pitiful. I don't know how he managed to get through it at such a young age. Sigh. It seems we can buy some snacks and take them to visit him later."

"Oh right, you guys keep chatting, I'll go see if Lao Lin has bought the groceries yet."
