Brahma wants her to die.

He only has one week left.

So these days, when she was stuck in her room, she had been counting the time. She could stay there forever without doing anything, but he couldn't.

Sure enough, he finally took the initiative to confront her.

Just the things he said were valuable to her, and it was worth her patience to wait for so long. But it was not enough.

The man looked at her dimly.

Lin Wu said calmly, "Look at what I am doing. You should blame yourself. You knew what Ren Ke wanted but still let her down, so that she revealed most of your secrets before she died."

Fan smiled slightly, his voice was unusually gentle: "But you know, I can't bear to see you die. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and finally I came up with a thoughtful solution..."

Lin Wu sneered, "Do you think I'm as stupid as Ren Ke?"

Fan stopped talking.

Lin Wu said, "You couldn't come up with a way to save my life in the past few years, but you came up with one in the past few days? Do you think I will believe it?"

Her gaze returned to the man in front of her.

After looking at him for a moment, Lin Wu suddenly reached out and pinched the man's chin, forcing him to look up at her.

This action startled the man slightly, and an indescribable emotion emerged in his dark eyes.

But Lin Wu's next words made the warmth on his face fade away silently.

"We both know who the other person is. Let's not pretend to do anything. It's too fake and unnecessary."

"You are just like me. You will not tolerate something controlling you inexplicably. The city lord wants to kill you again. Your life is in danger at any time. You will not be willing to be controlled by the city lord all the time. I guess you are tired of being the deputy city lord, right?"

"Now that we have a chance to solve it, let alone just taking my life, even if you want to kill more people, I believe you won't hesitate."

The Sanskrit voice rose slightly: "Why don't you believe me? I really don't want you to die."

Lin Wu said: "Aren't you planning to make up a plan that doesn't put my life in danger and tell me so that I can agree to do it more easily, and then when the moment comes, I will find out, oh, I'm going to die, but there's no escape?"

Fan looked at her for a moment before saying, "You overthink it."

Lin Wu said, "If you really don't want me to die, I can tell you a way to save me now. As long as you commit suicide and let the city lord think it was me who did it, the city lord might let me go because I solved a big problem for him, and let me get rid of the assassin city forever."

After that, she just looked at the man and raised her chin slightly to signal him to act quickly.

Fan's eyes darkened, but he didn't move.

Lin Wu's expression was filled with sarcasm. "Can you tell me the truth now? What are you worried about? If I don't agree, will you stop threatening me?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point with these words.

Only then did Fan turn his head to break free from Lin Wu's hand, stand up, and take a few steps back until his lower back rested on the edge of the table.

His eyes met Lin Wu's. The man leaned slightly, propped one arm on the edge of the table, and said with a little regret: "I thought we could at least spend these few days happily."

Lin Wu leaned back, crossed his legs, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."

Fan Ye said frankly: "What I want is very simple. The city lord dies and the assassin city is in my hands. But before the city lord dies, I have to get rid of this control first."

"You do have a solution. How do you solve it?" Lin Wu asked.

Fan smiled, "I told you, it's you. If I remember correctly, you are also a Xuanshi?"

Lin Wu raised his eyebrows.

Fan Dao: "Over the past two years, I have confirmed one thing. The third day after the city lord left was when he was at his weakest. He was already weak, and now he can hardly control us."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will risk everything, but he will definitely not have the same irresistible control power as before. You are a master of mysticism, so I think you will be able to hold on until the moment of action. Moreover, he seems defenseless against you, so you have a greater chance of taking action."

He looked at Lin Wu meaningfully, "You want to get rid of the control, just as much as I do. I believe that if you are given the right opportunity to do it, you will not let it go, and you will find ways to do it."

Fan nodded.

Lin Wu said coldly: "Outside the Ice Prison are all the city lord's people. I can't go in without the city lord's order."

"I will take action before then and replace the people outside the Ice Prison with my own."

"...You have so many manpower?"

Lin Wu frowned and looked at him.

Fan Wei narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I'm the deputy city lord for nothing?"

"But your token has been taken away."

"Isn't there Lingxiu?"

Lin Wu lowered his lip and reminded, "There is also Mo Lang. In addition, more than half of the people who entered the Killer City in recent years are gone. It is true that they may have been sent to the Ice Prison, but it is not certain. The city lord may find another place to train them. And you and I don't know how many people this team is and how difficult it is to deal with."

"That's up to you."

Fan said nonchalantly: "The city lord has high hopes for you, and I think Mo Lang knows that. If you want to see him, he will come. Even if he doesn't come, I believe you have a way. When he comes, ask him clearly how many private armed forces the city lord has."

Lin Wu had a blank expression on his face: "He is loyal to the city lord and won't tell anyone."

Fan smiled, "There's still Ling Xiu who might know, right? Ling Xiu is much easier to talk to than him. Even if they don't know, there's still the City Lord's Order. The City Lord's Order is very useful."

"I've figured it out. The City Lord's Order is in the City Lord's residence. You can pry its whereabouts out of Mo Lang's mouth. Then, as long as you can prevent the City Lord from leaving the Ice Prison, I can handle the situation outside. I won't let anyone from outside in to disturb you."

"...I can't guarantee that the city lord will not be able to leave the Ice Prison." Lin Wu looked at Fan for a long while before saying, "What if I don't do it, and I don't solve the control of this thing, and the city lord finally gets out of the Ice Prison?"

Fan paused and looked at Lin Wu.

After a long while, he smiled gently and said without letting anyone argue: "Then let him be seriously injured. With your ability, you can still do this. In his current condition, as long as he is seriously injured and extremely weak, he will not be able to control anyone."

"Then," Fan said coldly, changing his tone, "I will lock him up and keep him alive. He can neither die nor live until I find another way."

Lin Wu said coldly: "In that case, you will get what you want, but I will die on the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison. No, it should be said that there is no possibility for me to get out of the eighteenth floor alive. Not to mention the city lord, the things inside will kill me."

Fan moved and walked step by step to Lin Wu.

"The disappearance of the body is not true death, but being forgotten is. You will always be in my heart, so how can you be considered dead?"

Lin Wu's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you okay?!"

Fan leaned down, his eyes level with hers, and said nonchalantly: "Do you want me to meet those people you remember? If I want to check, I can still find clues. To be honest, I am really curious about what kind of people would be remembered by you so firmly."

Lin Wu's face darkened.

Fan smiled, but spoke in a cold voice: "I believe you will not let me down and will do it. If you want to find out something, you have more ways than me, such as hypnosis, don't you think so?"

Lin Wu suddenly looked up at him.

Fan sighed softly, "Sometimes knowing too much can be a headache."

He leaned closer to Lin Wu, and his warm breath fanned into her ears.

"I finally managed to suppress the urge to kill someone. You have to give me a satisfactory result."

"Maybe I won't bother anyone because of this."

Lin Wu's eyes turned cold.

The man straightened up, said to have a good rest, then turned and left the study.

Lin Wu sat for a while, then suddenly raised his hand, grabbed something on the table next to him and threw it towards the door.

She sneered, "Knowing too much does give you a headache."
