Chapter 614

[Beyond guilt, her heart is now filled with worry and embarrassment.]

That's normal; I just wanted to scare her anyway.

So far, I've succeeded.

If this happened under other circumstances, and Firefly's identity had been exposed and some of the truth had been clarified, her current state would probably be even more unbearable.

But she was not only a relatively innocent young girl, but also the last of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry.

If she's facing someone she likes, she might act like a little girl, clinging to him affectionately.

But— Lin Yu is clearly not her ideal partner.

This man has given Firefly a 'terrifying' feeling from the moment he appeared.

After the other party directly revealed her identity, Firefly felt that this person was even more terrifying than before.

After all, neither Kafka nor Silver Wolf knows how Lin Yu ambushed them.

In other words, even now, Firefly doesn't know whether Lin Yu has tampered with her or not.

Although Lin Yu's attitude towards the Stellaron Hunters was only very bad and he wasn't prepared to wipe them out completely, who knew if what Firefly did today would make him feel that 'the Stellaron Hunters are indeed not good people'?

After all, only they know their own situation. In any case, Firefly is currently an illegal immigrant, so she is definitely not doing anything good.

What should I do? What should I do?

In the script Acheron gave me...

—It didn't specify what I should do at this point.

P. S.: I'm in the hospital, updates will be delayed...

Sigh, let's talk about it later.

Trailblaze Chapter 59. How terrifying!

Actually, before coming to Penacony, Firefly was already a little uneasy about the script Acheron had given her.

Normally, when Firefly and Kafka are working together, they would discuss how to handle situations not written in the script.

Most of the time, Kafka would tell Firefly that she could improvise wherever the script didn't say.

And that's exactly what Firefly did.

But now, when facing Lin Yu, Firefly felt, quite unusually, that sometimes a more detailed script really isn't a bad thing.

This time when she came to Penacony, the script was only a few lines long.

What's even more unsettling is that the script, which consists of only a few lines, contains a line that Firefly absolutely cannot ignore.

Acheron's script tells Firefly that she will experience three deaths in Penacony.

Unfortunately, after learning that Lin Yu Firefly her identity, Lin Yu sensed a faint killing intent emanating from him.

He... really wanted to kill me?!

Firefly, who had realized this, never expected things to turn out this way.

Although Kafka and Silver Wolf had mentioned Lin Yu's actions against them, they were also well aware that Lin Yu was merely teaching them a lesson and had not actually intended to kill them.

If Lin Yu really intended to kill them, they would have been dead long ago, and Firefly wouldn't even have seen their bodies.

Because she sensed that Lin Yu's attitude towards the Stellaron Hunters was merely unpleasant, but at least he didn't intend to kill her, Kafka simply told Firefly to be careful when she encountered Lin Yu, without saying much more about what to do.

But now...

"Why are you shaking? I'm not going to eat you—I've already said that before."

Seeing Firefly's trembling body, Lin Yu smiled and approached her, then gently patted Firefly shoulder.

"Are you really that afraid of me? — Am I really that scary?"

What should I do? What should I say now...?

Someone like him definitely wouldn't like someone who lies.

Moreover, even if I were to lie at this point, he would probably see right through me.

Thinking of this, Firefly nodded gently.

Then, whether it was unexpected or not, at that moment, Lin Yu's expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Oh, is that really the case?"

"Then go to hell. People who don't like me are a nuisance."

With a single punch, before Firefly could transform, Lin Yu pierced her heart.

Even though I know this is a dream, but...

—It still hurts so much.

But when her heart shattered, the Firefly, who spat out fragments of her internal organs, felt her heart and the affected internal organs... being repaired so abruptly.

Is this... is this the same power as the blade?

Ignoring the laws of physics and forcibly restoring everything about a living being to its state before the injury...

Before Firefly could continue thinking, she felt a tearing pain in her heart once again.

In an instant, after repairing her heart, Lin Yu crushed it again.

"Think about it, letting you die like this is too easy for you. You might as well die a second time."

It really hurts—wait, the second time?

As if realizing something, Firefly's face showed an expression of utter shock.

Then came the experience of [repair]→ [severe pain].

However, after this experience ended, Lin Yu gently hugged Firefly and whispered in her ear.

"If you don't want others to notice something is wrong, then keep quiet."

"The three deaths are over, and I've also taken the opportunity to improve your physical defects."

"Your so-called Entropy Syndrome will no longer bother you. This place is too chaotic. I suggest you leave Penacony as soon as possible."

To outsiders, Lin Yu's speed was too fast; most people didn't even have time to see what he did.

At the same time, Lin Yu activated the Phantasm Lantern Barrier on the spot, causing everyone looking in this direction to have their perceptions rewritten and believe that there seemed to be no major problem here.

During this period, Firefly did indeed die three times.

As for the significance of these deaths...

Fireworks can be considered a death, but Lin Yu nearly annihilated Firefly's consciousness three times in the dream. If that doesn't count, then it can only mean that Acheron's script is unreliable, and the problem is definitely not with him!

Lin Yu did indeed cure Firefly's entropy Entropy Syndrome.

It's just not here—what's the use of curing illnesses in dreams if you're physically ill? You'll still end up ruined when you return to reality!

When Lin Yu killed Firefly, he took the opportunity to use the consciousness of the Herrscher of Reason to peer into Firefly's mind. After confirming Firefly's location, he condensed an energy clone near Firefly's body.

With the Herrscher of Death's Authority of Creation fully activated, treating the Entropy Syndrome that appeared on Firefly was really not a difficult task for Lin Yu.

Of course, what was nothing difficult for Lin Yu was completely different in Firefly's eyes.

Although Firefly was a little curious as to why Lin Yu knew the script that only she and Acheron knew, that was obviously not the point right now!

Just when she thought the other person was going to kill her...

Okay, Lin Yu did indeed kill her.

However, for Firefly, who will face three deaths in Penacony, killing her and helping her are not mutually exclusive to some extent.

Moreover, she now genuinely feels that some positive changes are occurring within her.

If what Lin Yu said is true, then wouldn't that mean...?

Am I saved?

At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly released Firefly and dispelled the Phantasm Lantern Barrier around them.

Meanwhile...

[Meow, after unleashing its murderous aura, it really did kill the beautiful girl.]

Then, when the other person is filled with despair, make them realize that you are not trying to harm them.

Finally, tell her that you cured her terminal illness and helped her finish the script, so she no longer has to risk her life...

[Tsk tsk tsk, this combo with its contrasting moves is really something! Normal strategies might not even be as fast as yours!]

Is it possible that I was just helping her out of the ordinary?

This system has accepted the message.

Is it that rare?

But...

Name: Firefly

[Identity: The last of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, known to the outside world as 'Sam', a member of the Stellaron Hunters.]

Current favorability rating: 65

[Note: +1+1+1+1+1+1+1]

Dude, isn't this nickname a little... a bit...?

Oh, yes, ambiguous meanings are indeed not good.

Then Lin Yu saw that the character introduction template in front of him had been updated.

Name: Firefly

[Identity: The last of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, known to the outside world as 'Sam', a member of the Stellaron Hunters.]

Current favorability rating: 70

[Note: Don't bother looking, this system has never lied about favorability ratings.]

Okay.

[And when you said it was just a casual thing, this system genuinely believed you.]

But don't you think that's even more terrifying—you've incorporated flirting into your daily routine with every gesture and movement?

Well, I think you're overthinking it.

Hey, don't even mention the easy-to-handle Firefly; even that seemingly difficult Kafka, with your current skills, you'll be able to take her down sooner or later, yay!

Come on, I haven't even met her yet, you're taking this way too far.

[So you're saying you can complete the romance just by meeting him, right? As expected of Lin Yu, easily accomplishing what this system can't!]

Forget it, I really don't want to waste any more time talking to you.

[I understand, I understand. There's a pretty girl in front, hehehehehehe.]

[Oh, look at the way she's looking at you. While it might not be as seductive as Tingyun's, you're pretty sure that this series of moves has left an indelible positive impression on her!]

After Lin Yu released Firefly realized that she... seemed to be experiencing a subtle change.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, Firefly did not question Lin Yu's statement that "your illness has been cured."

As a powerful figure with a poor relationship with the Stellaron Hunters, Lin Yu could have simply ignored her or even taken her to the company to exchange her for money.

However, within minutes of meeting, the other party casually cured Firefly's previously incurable Entropy Syndrome...

At that moment, Firefly realized what feelings had arisen in her heart the instant she left the other person's embrace.

Disappointment.

After experiencing major events such as 'sudden attack', 'death', and 'rebirth', Firefly, who was forcibly embraced by Lin Yu, had indeed been captivated by him to some extent.

That's why she didn't really want to leave that comforting embrace.

However, after Lin Yu let go of her, Firefly realized something with great regret.

Lin Yu's act of 'killing' himself was essentially no different from his beating of those members of the Hound Family.

Ultimately, Lin Yu's actions toward Firefly and that group of people were all about using what he considered appropriate methods to assist the people he had just met.
