Chapter 284: Chapter 193 Life Player·Lynn
Actually, from the moment Tiya appeared, Lynn, who knew he had been thoroughly framed, had already anticipated the subsequent developments.
Someone was certainly trying to take the opportunity to kill him.
And it was not just a single power.
Facing such a situation, if he were really to continue resisting stubbornly, it would be somewhat dangerous.
Based on the tone the limb connector used before feigning death, the Demon Clan definitely had deeper plans within Glostit—plans so deep that even he had been caught off guard.
However, this did not make Lynn feel angry or defeated.
If the other party was indeed acting with some deeper purpose, and even the serial killings were some kind of disguise, then tonight would be the crucial turning point where things changed.
Given that, he might as well temporarily accept this groundless accusation.
Under the premise that “someone wants to take the opportunity to kill him” and “to prevent the various forces from taking him to Saint Laurent VI”, it was a good choice to temporarily step back into the shadows, observe, and not become the focal point that attracted firepower.
What’s more, the situation with the Witch was urgent, and it was necessary to raise the deviation of the Silent Saintess’s storyline rapidly within a short time.
Therefore, an idea flashed through Lynn’s mind.
He might as well return to his old profession.
Only in this way could he meet the current various conditions.
However, this time, under the watchful eyes of many, his micro manipulation skills needed to be even more refined.
He had to receive a wound from the assassination attempt that would make a doctor exclaim in amazement, “A few millimeters more and you would’ve been dead.”
Fortunately, during this period, the Burning Flame Giant Dragon’s Heart had strengthened his body to an unprecedented level.
Plus, having consumed the Moonlight Original Liquid just last night in the interrogation room, he still had a lot of the effects lingering in his system.
Therefore, even those fierce and scary-looking injuries were not fatal to Lynn, and he could even heal rapidly in a short period.
So, the moment Casimo represented the Military Department and launched an assassination against him, Lynn constructed a lie in his brain—I’m already dead.
As a precaution, he even set a follow-up condition.
The moment Tiya touched his body or said the words “don’t die,” the lie would be dispelled.
And now, having emerged from his feigned death, it proved that his plan had succeeded.
[S-class character “Tiya Yohusti”‘s storyline deviation has been raised to 22.55%.]
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Lynn heard a pleasant electronic prompt sound in his ears.
Carefully counting, from the time he finished extracting his ability on the return train to the Imperial Capital, the astronomical requirement of ten thousand points for the next draw had deterred him.
Fortunately, he finally found a method to rapidly accumulate enough points.
It likely wouldn’t take long before he gained a new Extraordinary Ability.
Feeling the slim and soft body in his arms, Lynn silently thought.
Besides, perhaps he was the only male in the world who could hold her .
Unexpectedly, her butt was quite perky.
However, Tiya seemed unaware of the fact he was taking advantage of her.
Due to the rapid descent earlier, the Moonlight Scepter had slipped from her hands, leaving her empty-handed.
Thus, when someone is suddenly caught during a fall, they will likely embrace the other person’s neck instinctively, like a drowning person clutching at the last straw.
And now, she held Lynn’s neck in such an intimate and ambiguous posture, staring at him in a daze.
At the end of the day, Tiya didn’t really want to die.
The only reason she made such a sacrifice was just to give Lynn an explanation.
In her view, he should have been dead, with no chance of revival.
But when the blue-eyed, black-haired young man dramatically reappeared before her, Tiya’s heart still missed a beat unwillingly.
Nothing was more joyous than regaining what had been lost.
Especially for Tiya, the youth before her made her feel a sense of indebtedness like never before.
“You… you’re not dead?”
At the moment, Tiya was covered in their blood, severely injured, looking pale, and even her voice was weak.
But her eyes, looking at the young man, were unprecedentedly bright.
At one moment, Lynn was even touched by the profound relief in her gaze, feeling that the girl was beautiful to the extreme.
This was not an illusion.
Considering the character’s attributes and her arc of light, Tiya seemed to have briefly escaped the responsibility as the female lead and the world’s will’s manipulation, gaining a “self” for a very short time.
This was an elevation originating from personality and setting, reaching the same Realm as Ivyst.
The doll-like, cold girl of past days was gone, replaced by a warm personality.
Perhaps from this moment.
The girl named Tiya Yohusti had truly come to life, instead of being just a “mistake” born within the goddess’s vessel as in the original work.
“Mm, sorry to have worried you.”
After a moment of silence, Lynn unaccountably averted his gaze from the girl, holding her as he walked toward Louise in the back.
After all, he didn’t deserve such a look from her.
Everything was just a play, an order from the Witch.
That’s how it should have been.
Thus, he had no reason at all to react to her beyond this scope.
