Restrained Relations

"Invisible Enemy?"

Lin Yu was slightly surprised as he watched the blood explode in the air.

Chen Zhuo's face turned extremely grim. "An invisible enemy... Doesn't that mean we're in grave danger?"

Lin Yu remained quite calm.

"It's not that bad, at least A Nian can see it, right?"

As he spoke, Chen Zhuo's expression softened slightly.

At the same time, Lin Yu also looked at A Nian.

How did you see it? Is there a way for us to see it too?

Li Nian pointed to the sunglasses on her face.

"That's it... I'll show you how this [Item] works using the team's shared information, and you'll see."

After using team-up Item, team members not only cannot harm each other, but also gain some relatively convenient functions—this is also related to the grade and type of the [Team-up Card].

Although Chen Zhuo's [Team-up Card] is the most basic type, it still has the function of sharing [Item] information with each other.

The item description appeared on Li Nian's sunglasses.

[The Hell Detective's Sunglasses: When worn, they allow one to see invisible objects or life forms such as spirits and Energy Body.]

[Note: As a Detective, you need sharp eyes; but if what you're chasing is invisible to the naked eye, you'll also need a very good pair of glasses.]

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Lin Yu was actually a little nervous after discovering that Li Nian could see some kind of "invisible" thing.

He was very worried that Li Nian might have some kind of ability to see through concealment, which would put her at risk of seeing the Little Octopus "Hannah".

Although Hannah's concealment skills are excellent, and she said that she is usually not detected, and in order to prevent this situation, Lin Yu did not dye his hair and let it rest on his shoulder, but hid it in Lin Yu's pocket.

However, Lin Yu felt there would be a time when he would need Hannah's help—if Hannah crawled out of the pocket and was seen by Li Nian...

The explanation is easy to make. After all, "May" and "Zhu Ming" do know each other from Li Nian's perspective, so it's not impossible that they would both have the same "pet Octopus" by their side.

But no matter what...

Lin Yu still hoped that the existence of "Hannah" could be kept a secret.

"So these things are all spirits?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian nodded.

"That's right, calling them ghosts isn't entirely accurate... because they're more like they were 'manufactured'."

As Li Nian spoke, she deftly flipped over the first two rows of seats and then picked up the Utility knife that had just fallen down.

Then, Li Nian gently thrust forward and to the left.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out again.

"The good news is that these things are actually quite weak—they don't move very fast, and if you have any means to harm spirits or non- Entities beings, you can easily take them down with a single blow."

Li Nian pulled out Utility knife and casually flicked off the bloodstains.

Lin Yu heard Li Nian's words and keenly realized the implication behind them.

"So there's more bad news?"

The bad news is that these guys are everywhere!

Li Nian casually made two strokes in the air, and blood spurted out everywhere.

At the same time, Lin Yu felt a cold, stinging pain in his neck and arms.

It was as if I had been instantly frostbitten.

Even in places covered by clothing, a bone-chilling cold emanated from.

Without a doubt, if left unchecked... these things do have the ability to kill them.

Even if it doesn't lead to death, prolonged exposure could cause frostbite.

Chen Zhuo, standing to the side, frantically flailed his arms and screamed in agony.

"Ouch! Ouch! They're on me! Help!"

Lin Yu remained quite Leng Jing.

"Methods that harm non- Entities?"

Although he wasn't entirely sure, he had a vague feeling that the torch in his hand might be able to do it.

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

"Bass!"

Pale flames erupted, instantly illuminating Lin Yu and Chen Zhuo.

They had more than a dozen round, spiked things hanging all over their bodies, like pufferfish.

"This is actually a Torch? And it can even make these things visible!"

Li Nian said in surprise.

"Of course," Lin Yu, seeing that the Torch could illuminate these invisible spirits, and he immediately felt confident. "And these things... should be very afraid of it."

After all...

This thing is originally burning "fear," fueled by the intangible things born from human emotions and souls. It once ignited the monster formed from the condensation of souls—"Chate"!

Lin Yu waved his arms left and right twice, and the invisible, pufferfish-like small monsters hanging on his body seemed to sense the threat and clumsily fled from his body.

But...

This is too slow.

Lin Yu easily caught up with them and swept the flames across their bodies.

Then...

"Laugh!"

These pufferfish were instantly ignited—engulfed by the Pale Flame ignited by "fear," almost more easily set ablaze than the actual food itself.

A pleased expression appeared on Lin Yu's face.

"It does seem feasible after all."

He waved Torch and came to Chen Zhuo's side, also dispelling and setting ablaze the pufferfish on his body.

Lin Yu made no further move—nor did he need to.

As A'yu said, these things are everywhere.

Once ignited, the pufferfish clumsily collided with each other in mid-air, quickly setting more of their companions ablaze.

These things are far too flammable for the "Fear Flame," and it seems there really is some kind of restraining relationship between the two.

Like Chain Reaction, one white flame after another lit up, and the air was instantly filled with pale fireballs of all sizes!

"Be careful not to touch them for too long, these things can also ignite Entities."

Lin Yu reminded him, and he sat back down comfortably.

Still shaken, Chen Zhuo slowly sat down, and then his gaze toward Lin Yu was instantly filled with admiration.

"As expected of Guan..."

Lin Yu immediately interrupted him, lowering his voice to say, "Ahem, didn't my introducer tell you that it's best to keep his identity a secret?"

Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

The Little fatty's mind started working. Although he was usually a bit slow, Chen Zhuo was, after all, a high school student whose brain was at its most active stage, and he quickly figured out the secret!

It seems that although "A Nian" was introduced by "Zhu Ming," "Zhu Ming" appears to be closer to the "Administrator" and is unwilling to let this Master Thief from the "Freedom Alliance" know of the Administrator's existence.

Therefore, Chen Zhuo immediately changed his tune.

"This white flame is incredibly powerful. You can casually pull out something that's so effective against this Instance... It seems you know this Instance quite well!"

Lin Yu shook his head upon hearing Chen Zhuo's compliment.

"No, I just got lucky."

"I also want to know where this train came from!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Nian again.
