I Want to Join the Psychology Society
Lin Yu was stalling for time from the very beginning.
Although he didn't think that his mere "Tier 1" strength could do anything to Fluoxetine, a well-established and infamous "Tier 3" fighter, but...
This is a rare opportunity; I should definitely give it a try.
Although the location was chosen by Fluoxetine, depriving Lin Yu of home-field advantage, he was also quite certain that ambushes and sneak attacks were unlikely to work against Fluoxetine...
But what if it wasn't him who was attacked?
Lin Yu happened to have an Octopus Hanna was very good at disguising herself, and whose disguising had even been proven to fool the members of the "Freedom Alliance".
Besides the Octopus, he had also just subdued another Artificial Humans with "Tier 2" Combat Power and rich combat experience, Stiller, an employee of the Truth Company.
With the help of these two guys, Lin Yu didn't think there was no possibility of not giving it a try.
Therefore, he devised a hasty plan—and when it comes to murder, the more hasty the plan, the greater the chance of success.
See Fluoxetine, attract her attention...
Then, wait for Stiller to kill her.
From the initial witty remark inspired by the God of Change, to the later reveal of the face of "Xia Yue".
Everything was done to buy time for Stiller.
Even with Hannah's disguise, this Truth Company Artificial Humans had to be extremely careful to get behind Fluoxetine.
Moreover, even at the very end, Lin Yu only dared to let Stiller make a move when Fluoxetine's attention was at its lowest!
At this very moment, what pierced through Fluoxetine's upper abdomen was Stiller's Dagger.
Lin Yu clutched his shoulder and took a step back, looking at Fluoxetine's unfocused eyes in disbelief.
"Did it work?"
As he spoke, Stiller, whose figure had already appeared behind him, drew Dagger and casually smeared it across Fluoxetine's neck.
The girl's body collapsed to the ground, blood pooling in her veins. Lin Yu, hands on his knees, ignored his shoulder injury and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha..."
He looked at the Fluoxetine on the ground and laughed for a long time.
Stiller looked at Lin Yu: "You hate her that much?"
"Of course, my peaceful life is gone forever, all thanks to her," Lin Yu said, pausing for a moment, "But...but that's not why I'm laughing."
Why is that?
Hannah also spoke up and asked.
Lin Yu looked at the Fluoxetine on the ground, rubbing the corner of his left eye with his fingertips. "What I'm laughing at is that this guy actually has things he's not good at."
Despite claiming a love for theater and that her Profession is "assassin," this "Fluoxetine" Miss seems unaware of...
What should be the reaction of someone whose upper abdomen has been pierced?
It seems that this wasn't one of her usual methods of killing.
When a person is stabbed in the upper abdomen, unlike when the heart is stabbed, blood does not gush out from the upper digestive tract first, and the person will vomit blood.
Secondly... she will be in a lot of pain.
Of course, the most important evidence is still...
"You know, Fluoxetine, I wear a [Mind-Reading Mirror] from the Truth Company over my left eye... Dead people don't have that many joyful or happy emotions."
Lin Yu said...
Fluoxetine lay motionless in the pool of blood for two seconds before slowly rising to his feet.
She sat up, her face and body covered in blood, but the wounds on her neck and upper abdomen had long since disappeared.
"Wow, your foundation is even more solid than I imagined..."
Fluoxetine sat there and then stretched.
"I really admire you, Xia Yue... You're more than just a rough diamond with great potential; it seems you've already realized a significant portion of your potential."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "You know my name?"
"I've already come to your door to kill you, of course I know," Fluoxetine waved his hand. "So, why aren't you continuing your attack?"
Lin Yu also sat cross-legged on the Rooftop: "I've already played all my cards, and they haven't caused you any real harm. If I were to attack you again, it would be suicidal."
Fluoxetine chuckled softly, "No, you see."
She pulled an hourglass from her bosom; the sand inside was bright red.
The hourglass's crystal-clear glass casing is now covered with cracks.
"What's this?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
"This is my trump card for resurrection, [Blood Sand of Reversal]," Fluoxetine said calmly. "It activates every time I suffer a near-death or Instant Death injury, and it returns me to my full strength... However, each time it activates, a new crack appears on its surface. Once it shatters, the Item becomes unusable."
Before Lin Yu could speak, Fluoxetine cheerfully took the initiative to speak.
"However, it's not like I'm immune to death before it shatters. I still can't defend against poison, soul attacks, or environmental kills... Next time, you could try sinking me to the bottom of the sea."
"I just tried to kill you, why did you tell me your weakness?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Because this is also a 'Trial' for me. I admire all souls with potential and hope they grow up amidst the great terror of life and death, becoming great beings that even the Deity admire... This certainly includes me," Fluoxetine said naturally. "If I were afraid when it was my turn to Trial, wouldn't that make me seem hypocritical?"
Fluoxetine said earnestly.
Lin Yu looked at the Fluoxetine in front of him and for a moment didn't know whether he should praise this madman for having a sound moral compass.
After a long while, he could only sigh.
"You're really tough on yourself."
Fluoxetine chuckled and said, "So, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"You gave me a chance to speak, which proves you don't want to kill me. For someone Escape from your hands, deceived most Player including you, and even dared to plot Revenge against you, I guess you can't bear to kill me," Lin Yu said gently. "And once I speak, even if you have Killing Intent, I'm confident I can persuade you not to attack me."
Fluoxetine sighed.
"It feels awful to be seen through, I really like you so much... Oh wait, don't cheat, turn off [Mind-Reading Mirror]."
"It's already turned off. That thing takes a lot of energy to keep on for long."
Lin Yu said to Fluoxetine.
The two people chatted like old friends on the Rooftop.
Fluoxetine looked at Lin Yu before him, his eyes reflecting the light of the night sky. "Although I don't intend to kill you... I want to hear your thoughts. Why are you so confident in persuading me?"
The evening breeze of Jiang City swept through the air a hundred meters above the ground, and the last embers of the flame beside the two were extinguished.
"Because I want to join the 'Psychology Society'."
Lin Yu said this.
