CH 160.1

Lin Xinghe felt that she had almost all of the clues in hand. They were just a little scattered, since she didn’t have the thread that linked them together yet. As long as she could connect them, she would know the plot of this world.

So ……

Where could she find the thread?

Lin Xinghe looked at Yu Ying.

Yu Ying still pondered the question Lin Xinghe just asked. Seeing Lin Xinghe look over, she very sincerely asked again, “Why would they be absorbed into the green head?”

Lin Xinghe did not answer, instead asking, “You tried to attack the devil, right? And then you formed a truce? Did they not think about a second assault?”

Yu Ying replied, “The battle was costly. Now, we appreciate the peace. Everyone fears the devil and would rather coexist with him than challenge him again.”

Lin Xinghe suddenly asked her, “Do you have any ideas?”

Slightly stunned, Yu Ying said apprehensively, “Lin Xinghe can gauge everyone’s anxiety, and people who are overly anxious will be killed?”

Lin Xinghe said, “You have a point, you can try.”

Yu Ying said, “I can pretend to be overly anxious, to attract Lin Xinghe to kill me? Then you can kill Lin Xinghe, Master! This way fewer people will become devils ……”

Lin Xinghe smiled faintly, “Can you?”

Yu Ying patted his chest and said, “Master, don’t worry. I’m anxious, I’m scared, I’m panicking at the thought of failing the witch test. I’ll harness these emotions and seduce Lin Xinghe! Master, you can use your invisibility? When the time comes, you’ll catch her!”

Lin Xinghe: “Okay!”

Yu Ying was really good at acting—after she said so, she immediately grew depressed.

The next night, Lin Xinghe put on her invisible cloak and stood aside.

The audience held their breath, waiting for the arrival of the escape artist Lin Xinghe.

【It’s a little exciting to think of meeting two SLs.】

【The duel between SL and Lin Xinghe!】

【In fact, I was wondering if it’s possible that Yu Ying is Lin Xinghe in this examination room.】

【This is a bit of a mindf*ck!】

As the viewers in the broadcast room were discussing the possible scenes, Yu Ying, who had been sleeping on the bed, suddenly jerked.

She opened her eyes, and her eyes were like pools of stagnant water, empty of light.

She left the bed with her bare feet and walked towards the bathroom step by step without blinking as though she were sleepwalking.

The bathroom had a fan-shaped mini bathtub.

She turned on the faucet.

The hot water flowed down.

She stood quietly by the tub, her eyes unfocused as if she was being controlled. She left the bathroom and went to the open kitchen when the tub was full.

She found a fruit knife and turned back to the bathroom.

As she entered the bathroom and raised her wrist, the sharp tip of the knife slashed at her wrist, and Lin Xinghe stepped in to stop it.

The fruit knife clattered to the ground.

And at that moment, Yu Ying’s eyes gradually regained focus.

She first glanced at Lin Xinghe, then looked down at herself and was startled to find herself in the bathroom, stammering, “I …… Why am I in the bathroom? Master, is Lin Xinghe here?”

The audience in the live broadcast room was silent for a moment.

【Crap! So there’s no Lin Xinghe at all?】

【The murderer was not Lin Xinghe! Are all victims committing suicide?】

【It seems so! You think about the way to say Lin Xinghe’s crimes feel wrong, who would force people to hang themselves or jump from high places ah!】

And at this time, Yu Ying left the bathroom with a baffled face, looked left and right, and asked: “Master caught Lin Xinghe?”

Lin Xinghe shook his head thoughtfully and said, “No.”

Yu Ying comforted Lin Xinghe and said, “We can try again tomorrow!”

Yu Ying asked again, “Why am I in the bathtub? Did I sleepwalk? No, I never had the habit of sleepwalking before ……”

Lin Xinghe said, “No, I know what Lin Xinghe is.”

She said slowly, “There is no such person as Lin Xinghe in your world. All the victims committed suicide, killed by their own anxiety. Lin Xinghe is anxiety incarnate, and all people who commit suicide due to anxiety will be treated as though Lin Xinghe did it.”

Yu Ying: “…… anxiety incarnate?”

Lin Xinghe said, “Well then, haven’t you noticed? Everyone in your world is anxious, not individual anxiety, but universal anxiety, with baldness and hair being trigger words. A normal world isn’t like this. Perhaps you are so anxious that everyone’s anxiety has evolved into a concrete symbol – Lin Xinghe. So she comes and goes without a trace, no one has seen her with their own eyes, but everyone knows her, fears her, loathes her, and wants to kill her. And who doesn’t want to kill their anxiety?”

Yu Ying said, “Then is it true that if anxiety is gone, there will be no Lin Xinghe in this world? Everyone will be able to resume their old lives?”
