Chapter 20 I Will Always Protect You
"Look, I like you like this too."
Yin Yue's words were full of interest in Lin Han. It seemed that no matter what Lin Han said or what he did, it could make him very interested.
Lin Han didn't know how Yin Yue's train of thought developed so wildly, but it was definitely not something a normal person could understand.
Lin Han, who was originally feeling uneasy about receiving Yin Yue's help, completely changed his mind after the glimpse he just saw in the factory director's office.
It's just a game. It's Yin Yue's business if she's willing to help him. After all, he's not the kind of person who doesn't expect anything in return. At worst, when they meet again in the future, he can let Song Ziyi repay the favor for him.
Besides...Yin Yue protects his safety, and he provides emotional value to Yin Yue (?), so it's a win-win situation for everyone, isn't it?
At least he had no objection, and Yin Yue, Lin Han turned his head to look at Yin Yue, he obviously had no objection either, and seemed to be enjoying it.
If Lin Han really wants to draw a line between them and him, the one who will have a real headache is probably Yin Yue.
For some reason, I heard some panicked screams from behind, both men and women, and there was a small commotion.
Lin Han and Yin Yue were walking at the end of the team, so he could easily notice the people in front of them looking back nervously from time to time.
In front of them is a female butcher who has just shown her terrifying side, and behind them is an unknown dangerous thing. The players caught between the two look terrified. They are afraid to stop and turn back to help their former "comrades", but they are also afraid to continue forward and follow the female butcher into a new crisis. They hesitate between the two, but move forward resignedly.
It was the first time that Lin Han looked at the people in front of him with almost a bystander's eyes. He felt that this feeling was inexplicably familiar. After thinking for a while, he cast his gaze on Yin Yue beside him.
This is how Yin Yue has always looked at him.
From the perspective of an observer, watching his every move, his subtle expressions, his fear and relaxation, it was like watching a play.
Because I am just a spectator, I can easily get entertainment from him.
Lin Han thought so. Although he didn't know what on earth was it about him that attracted Yin Yue, as Yin Yue's emotional value provider, he felt that it was Yin Yue's responsibility to protect him.
Perhaps because of this thought, Lin Han was no longer afraid.
He knew that Yin Yue was very powerful. A pervert like this who was so good at pretending would not fit the setting at all if his strength level did not meet the standard, so he did not need to worry about any danger he would face next. After all, Yin Yue did not seem to take the female butcher and the factory manager seriously at all.
Even though Yin Yue didn't care about him as much as she seemed, and even had a faint desire to hurt him, Lin Han felt extremely safe.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place. If one really assumes the worst possible scenario for someone like Yin Yue, then the worst thing that could happen to Lin Han is that he would be hurt by Yin Yue - such a person would not allow him to die easily at the hands of a female butcher or a factory director.
Of course, Lin Han was overthinking this, because Yin Yue's hostility towards him was only exposed for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal, guarding him with that subtle attitude again, and saved his life again when the female butcher threw the knife.
Ultimately, Yin Yue is still a good person.
Lin Han looked at Yin Yue. His smile seemed a little out of place and even weird amid the panicked expressions of the others. Lin Han's eyes were full of sincere gratitude.
Lin Han: My benefactor, when we get out, I will let Song Ziyi work like a slave for you to repay you for your help in this qualifying match.
Yin Yue raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why Lin Han suddenly smiled at him, but for someone like him, this would only make him feel happier.
The other five people who were walking in front and looking back were almost going crazy: "..."
What the hell is going on with these two people! Why are they suddenly laughing like this? Can you please stop being so scary!
Meanwhile, Song Ziyi, who had given up on looking for Lin Han in the Lifestyle anchor section, sneezed loudly just as he was about to get up. He fell back onto the sofa, rubbing his nose and wondering, "Who's cursing me?"
-
The butcher didn't get far.
About five minutes later, after passing through the narrow corridor filled with dark brown liquid and going down the stairs, Lin Han and the others gradually could no longer hear the voices of those who had been left behind.
The only sound around was the extremely humid environment and the sound of dripping water. As Lin Han walked forward, he felt like he was back in the assembly line workshop, and even his hands began to ache slightly.
Perhaps due to the low temperature, his wound gradually became hot, and a slightly sharp stinging sensation came from the back of his hand, which had just been ignored, as if it sensed the impending crisis.
Lin Han took a step down, and the steps were covered with sticky dirt. He almost slipped, but fortunately Yin Yue was holding his arm, so he didn't fall to the ground.
Lin Han and Yin Yue had not seen this place when they came out to look for someone just now, or they did not even see the stairs, let alone go to the next floor.
When I looked out the window before, there was flat ground outside, so they were now heading towards the basement.
In an environment related to horror elements, the basement always evokes bad associations, and this is no exception for Lin Han.
Moreover, the dull pain in the wound on the back of his hand suddenly made Lin Han worried.
The injuries sustained from breaking free from the iron ring would not be too serious if treated promptly. However, the environment Lin Han had been in was too harsh. The iron ring remained moist for a long time in such an environment, and was probably like it had been pickled, with bacteria everywhere.
Moreover, this kind of game setting is also very common. After being injured, having a fever and becoming weak is almost a plot that Lin Han can imagine with his butt. How could the new world not think of it?
Human imagination is really a powerful thing. Just a thought flashed through Lin Han's mind, but he really felt dizzy and the wound on the back of his hand hurt more and more.
The thought of stopping himself from thinking too much came to his mind but was suppressed. Lin Han, who was entering this kind of game copy for the first time, was obviously still a novice and could not really get rid of the negative effects of his inexperience.
Even Lin Han, who prides himself on being calm and having rich gaming experience, finds it difficult to find the most detached way to transcend the game in this immersive gaming experience. What New World itself hopes most is that players devote themselves to the game.
Lin Han's struggle with the new world is destined to end in his failure.
Lin Han could only comfort himself that the more he immersed himself in the game, the greater his chances of passing it. After all, one should be serious about everything he did, right?
Amidst the chaotic sound of footsteps, the surroundings were silent as everyone walked towards the gradually darkening basement. Every step forward was like stepping into a deeper hell. The dim light around them was swallowed up by the windowless corner, condensing into bottomless darkness.
The female butcher's face inexplicably appeared in Lin Han's mind. Her slightly yellow eyes stared at Lin Han, and yellow grease flowed down her face. The dizziness and rich imagination made Lin Han feel a little nauseous for a moment.
He subconsciously wanted to smooth his chest with his hand, and then he suddenly remembered that he was holding Yin Yue's black crutch. The crutch was a little heavy, and it had not been stained with any of his body temperature even in his hand until now.
The coolness immediately sobered him up.
Just now when they walked out of the factory director's office, Yin Yue put the crutch in his hand as before so that he could support himself while walking. But even though it was someone else's thing, he really needed something to support himself. When Lin Han saw the dirty ground, he really didn't want to drop the crutch on the ground.
Using this crutch on the ground, which looks almost silky, would be tantamount to blasphemy.
Lin Han: It looks expensive.
So Lin Han almost walked all the way here holding this crutch.
When he noticed this fact, his hand moved uncontrollably, and the lower end of the crutch hit the rusty stair railing, making a crisp sound that made Lin Han shiver.
The coolness from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, the feeling of complete clarity of mind, completely wiped out any previous confusion.
The person walking in front stopped as if relieved.
Finally, there were other sounds that made them stop and take a break.
The female butcher who was walking in the front and almost completely immersed in the darkness also stopped. She turned around slowly, and her yellow pupils were like the cold pupils of a wild beast in the darkness, revealing a murderous aura.
Lin Han seemed to have disturbed the other party's hunting rhythm, so that the female butcher who seemed to have not paid special attention to him before finally noticed his presence.
Lin Han froze in place, his half-step still hanging in the air, hesitating to take a step forward. He had a feeling that he was a prey being targeted by a hunter, and if he moved at all, the hunter would suddenly pounce on him and bite his throat.
But even if he didn't move, things didn't go in a good direction.
The female butcher's eyes were still fixed on him, but Lin Han noticed that she seemed to be moving. She took the knife behind her back in her hand.
The danger was still approaching him.
What should he do?
Lin Han was frantically thinking of various methods in his mind.
Who knows what would happen if they just followed the female butcher into a dark basement?
Darkness is like a monster's umbrella; no one will know if one person is missing.
There are only seven people left now. If they go down, not only will they not be able to reach the second test site, but they might all be killed.
Following the monster into the darkness seemed to be a deadly option. Lin Han just ended the crisis by accident, but now, the danger that was originally aimed at everyone has fallen on him alone.
Silver Moon.
Silver Moon!
This name popped up in Lin Han's mind.
He didn't even turn his head to look at Yin Yue. He just subconsciously leaned towards Yin Yue, as if that would make him safe.
Yes, he originally thought that Yin Yue was a very powerful being, and it was normal for him to seek protection from a strong person when in danger, even if the person around him was anyone else.
Only those who are strong enough can face danger on their own. Lin Han knew that he was still a weakling, so he naturally lowered his posture and sought Yin Yue's protection.
And this so-called lowering of posture is actually just getting a little closer to Yin Yue.
This small gesture of getting closer can be interpreted as the subtext of "being relied upon and needed", which makes Yin Yue feel very happy.
Happy, glad, these are very simple words, but they are enough to make Yin Yue’s already bright smile even more unrestrained.
"Tired?"
In the silence, it was Yin Yue's voice that broke the deadlock.
Even when he asked a question, there was a smile in his voice that everyone could hear, and he was in a very good mood that he could hardly hide but tried hard to suppress.
The moment Lin Han turned his head, before he could see Yin Yue's face, the other party reached out and caught his attention again. Lin Han stared blankly at him as he took the crutch from his hand, with Yin Yue's gentle voice still in his ears.
"Just tell me if you're tired. Why are you holding it in and feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Han turned around and met Yin Yue's smiling eyes. A bright smile bloomed from his brows. Lin Han was strangely moved by his good mood, and even subconsciously felt happy.
Halfway through his laughter, he realized something was wrong. He didn't understand why he could still laugh in such an environment and under such circumstances, and he had no idea what made Yin Yue happy.
In fact, Yin Yue, who suddenly said these words at this time, looked even weirder than the female butcher who had just given Lin Han a strong sense of danger.
His face was quite handsome, gentle as water, and did not seem suitable for such an extremely excited expression. Against the backdrop of the moldy wall behind him, for a moment he looked even more terrifying than the female butcher.
Lin Han's heart was pounding in his chest. He felt something was wrong, as if something was out of control and was stinging his scalp.
He didn't dare to get any closer to Yin Yue. He wanted to take a step back and at least keep some distance from Yin Yue.
But as sharp as Yin Yue was, he should have been able to easily see Lin Han's resistance, but he pretended not to notice anything and intimately moved closer to hold the hand that Lin Han had used to hold the crutch.
There was no stroking or kneading, just simply covering the back of his hand. Yin Yue's warm body temperature was transferred to Lin Han's hand, as if ironing his slightly cold hand that was stimulated by the crutch and all the dangers.
So at this moment, Lin Han stopped trying to dodge.
Yin Yue leaned very close to him, her eyes filled with tenderness and care that almost overflowed. When she spoke again, her gentle voice was like syrup sticky with honey: "You know, I will always protect you."
At that moment, Lin Han subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but his body was immersed in the security that his brain knew about because of Yin Yue's words and did not move. Goose bumps climbed up his arms and even his back.
Those words, which sounded so reliable and safe, made him feel more dangerous than the female butcher's knife flashing with a cold light.
Everything seemed flawless.
Yin Yue can protect him, Yin Yue is someone he can rely on, and as long as he speaks, Yin Yue will agree unconditionally. Lin Han was unconsciously instilled with such ideas, and it was almost so justified that this idea was deeply rooted in his mind, but Lin Han's reason told him that this was not right.
He shouldn't have taken it for granted.
Yin Yue is a stranger, a stranger he met after entering this game. He has something to ask for, but he also wants something in return.
Even if it was Song Ziyi, although Lin Han always thought about exploiting him, she would never really do so.
Therefore, he must be abnormal to have such thoughts about Yin Yue.
At this moment, Lin Han felt that the real test of this game was not the factory copy with the female butcher and the factory manager as key figures, but the Silver Moon who appeared inexplicably beside him.
Is this the ability of other players?
Lin Han took a deep breath and tried very hard to lower his head and break free from Yin Yue's gaze.
This is not right.
His strange behavior did not cause any change in Yin Yue's mood. Yin Yue was still in a good mood as could be seen from her clothes.
He tapped the ground with the crutch, and when the inky black tip landed on the ground, it seemed not to be stained by the dirt on the ground.
The cane tapped on the stair step, and the crisp sound spread out.
At the bottom of the corridor, a crackling sound of electricity came from the originally dark corridor. A dim light flickered twice and then lit up, illuminating everything around clearly.
Yin Yue supported the lowered-headed Lin Han with her left hand, and placed her right hand lightly on the crutch, tapping her fingertips impatiently: "Don't we still have to take the second test?"
Unlike the gentle manner in which he spoke to Lin Han, his voice was somewhat forceful.
and threats.
In silence, the female butcher stared at him for a long time with her yellow eyes. Finally, she chose to give in and turned around and took another step forward.
In the confrontation between Yin Yue and her, this time, it was the female butcher who bowed her head first.
