His mind raced, ghostly energy swirling around him as he tried to escape this body.
However, Jiang Nuo stopped him with Spirit-Binding Spell, leaving him with no way to escape.
Lin Yu cursed, "You bastard! It's not fair that you can use their things!"
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Am I some kind of upright person?"
After saying that, her red eyes flashed, and she grabbed him and slammed him against the wall. The smile on her face disappeared. Perhaps the scattered Demonic Qi amplified the darkness in his heart, or perhaps the pain from the wounds on his body stimulated him at this moment.
Jiang Nuo could see a resemblance between Lin Yu and Lin Yu's former appearance on Lin Yu's face.
He tilted his head and pinched Lin Yu's chin. "The fake face you've been using over there, you always manage to change into a better-looking one... Your real face wouldn't look like this, would it?"
Lin Yu gritted his teeth, "Why do you talk so much nonsense!"
He then deliberately provoked her with a taunting tone, and even though he had no chance of winning, he was in no way inferior in verbal skills.
"You'd better kill me today, or if you come back... you ugh!" Lin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, his twitching muscles showing the pain.
The demonized, sharp fingers plunged into Lin Yu's neck, the hot, bloody flesh enveloping the fingertips. Jiang Nuo curled her lips, leaned closer, and admired Lin Yu's increasingly painful expression.
"You had this same expression when you first died."
"You're such a loser, Lin Yu. How come you've fallen for me twice already?"
"Damn... old grudges and new hatred!"
[Is the person inside Lin Yu's body also Jiang Nuo's enemy...? He has so many enemies... (Just kidding)]
Lin Yu's eyelids grew heavy, and the ghostly aura of his soul began to dissipate, yet he still used his last bit of strength to mock.
"You... you're the same... if it weren't for me, when I was kicked out of the team... you would have been dead long ago."
Jiang Nuo's expression remained unchanged, but there was a complex look in his eyes, and his movements became much more relaxed.
At that time, he had lost his left eye and had nothing but madness, yet he was hated by everyone in the game center and had no stronger abilities to rely on.
At that time, Lin Yu was already a renowned strategist and schemer.
Lin Yu suddenly approached him and proposed forming a two-person team. He would be responsible for rapidly increasing his strength and slaying monsters, while Lin Yu would be responsible for providing strategic advice.
Even today, many of the underhanded tricks are still learned from Lin Yu.
Jiang Nuo stared at him intently, then suddenly asked the question she had previously been reluctant to ask.
"I've always been curious, why did you push me into the fiery pool inside the Floating Life Tower?"
"Cough cough cough... Haha... Hahahaha..."
Lin Yu burst into laughter without warning, coughing up blood as he laughed. His ashen eyes slowly lifted, "Then do you remember... what you... what you said before entering the Floating Life Tower?"
Jiang Nuo's red eyes froze, lost in memories.
Dungeon Selection Hall.
"A five-star dungeon... the Floating Life Tower has actually opened!"
Jiang Nuo tapped around on the screen and suddenly saw a five-pointed star light up. She quickly clicked on it and then peeked at Lin Yu, who was sitting and resting.
"Brother Yu! Want to go out and have some fun?"
His tone was joyful, and his left eye gleamed with unusual excitement.
Then Lin Yu gave him a sharp rap on the head.
"Are you an idiot? Last time the Floating Life Tower opened, ten out of ten went and died; not a single one came back."
"The ranking competition is in a few days. If you don't make it to first place, I'll see how you manage to replace your left eye with a normal one."
Jiang Nuo touched his left eye and muttered, "I don't need to change it. Ranking matches don't involve real killing; they're all virtual arenas. It's so boring."
"I'm not going to participate."
Lin Yu's expression changed. "The first place winner of the ranking competition can exchange for a Wish Ticket, which can grant any request. Don't you care?"
Jiang Nuo raised her hand, "Unless the system can find my soul, there's nothing to care about."
It's better to spend more time in dungeons where you can kill monsters.
Lin Yu's expression was grim. " Jiang Nuo, I teamed up with you specifically to participate in the ranking competition."
"Then I won't go either. Or... how about Brother Yu recruits someone else? But I'll participate in the individual ranking competition in two weeks."
Jiang Nuo couldn't quite remember what they said during their argument.
All that is known is that Lin Yu's expression was still grim before entering the dungeon.
But he was unhappy six days out of seven, so Jiang Nuo didn't take it to heart.
The recollection ends.
Jiang Nuo was still puzzled. "You'd better not tell me it's because I'm not planning to participate in the team ranking competition with you."
Lin Yu forced a smirk, "I told you, I brought you along for the competition. Not only did you not cooperate, but you also wanted to participate in the individual competition I had already decided on... to steal first place..."
" Jiang Nuo, do you think... my kindness towards you is only because of friendship? Otherwise... if you weren't someone you could use, who would tolerate a madman..."
Jiang Nuo couldn't believe it and took a few deep breaths. "So, you might as well just get rid of me to prevent future troubles?"
"Everyone in the instance is on edge... You're... you're no longer of any use to me."
At this point, Lin Yu burst into laughter again, his laughter utterly sarcastic.
"Idiot... You almost died twice, both times from over-trusting your teammates, and yet you've managed to survive... until now."
"Perhaps... someday in the future, you will still die from trusting others."
Lin Yu mustered all his strength to stand up, grabbing Jiang Nuo's shoulder tightly, even though his neck was almost pierced through, and he was almost driven mad.
"I'll wait and see!"
Jiang Nuo fell silent, looking deeply into his eyes.
Then, I suddenly realized someone was approaching from behind.
It is the Si Yan.
Although he didn't quite understand what was being said, he could roughly guess what it was from the few words exchanged.
" Nuonuo, don't believe him."
Si Yan slowly placed his hand on Jiang Nuo's shoulder and gently patted it.
Jiang Nuo snapped out of her daze, slit Lin Yu's throat with her other hand, and coldly watched him lose his breath and his soul shatter.
It's a pity you won't live to see that day.
Lin Yu's soul shattered and vanished completely.
Lin Yu's body fell to the ground, rotting and decaying.
[Detected the death of the newly born protagonist in this world; the Save the Villain Plan is 80% complete; points +800]
Jiang Nuo lowered her eyes, the demonic transformation of her arm disappeared, and she turned to look at Si Yan, her gaze still heavy.
Si Yan reached out to him, smiling gently, " Nuonuo, I'm cold, hug me."
I know you're not feeling well right now, and I know you're unwilling to back down, so let me do it.
Jiang Nuo slowly curled her lips into a smile, then threw herself into Si Yan's arms. The moment her red eyes disappeared, she fainted.
