Chapter 22 The Real Danger
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Yin Yue asked him softly, while pulling Lin Han's arm and dragging him behind her, completely blocking Lin Han's view of the corpse.
Lin Han stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.
When he looked up again, he could only see Yin Yue's broad back. He watched him close the half-open cabinet door. The door made a sharp "creaking" sound when it closed, which made Lin Han feel a chill on the back of his head.
He didn't know whether it was his preconceived notions that made him feel that Yin Yue's expression just now became strange and scary, or whether it was really as he thought, that Yin Yue herself was dangerous.
There were clearly only fifteen players in the dungeon, but suddenly a sixteenth corpse appeared, and his wounds made Lin Han think about it.
It looked very much like the wound Lin Han had guessed was caused by Yin Yue's crutch. With all the flesh and bones pushed aside, the wound appeared extremely large because of its smooth edges.
It seemed that from the very beginning, Lin Han had never doubted whether Yin Yue was a player, and Yin Yue had never revealed her identity. Lin Han almost relied on his inherent cognition to determine that Yin Yue, like him and all other players, was a player selected to participate in this dungeon.
Who would have thought that the person who saved them and appeared in the dungeon early with other players would be different from them?
More importantly, the numbers have always been correct.
There are 15 player slots and 15 people, how could anything go wrong?
The dangers presented by the copy itself all come from the female butcher and the factory manager. No one will be distracted and afraid of other players, especially when they have no need to compete.
Lin Han was different from the others. He was indeed wary of Yin Yue, but the source of his vigilance was not because he had foreseen such a possibility in advance, but because he felt that there was uncertainty in Yin Yue herself and that she might cause harm to him.
Even with such worries, he was still willing to trust Yin Yue to the utmost, simply because although the other party was dangerous, for Lin Han, the safety factor was far greater than that of others - he had saved him several times and his strong strength would protect him.
Although Yin Yue would say some weird things, compared to the help he brought to Lin Han, these weird things were tolerable.
Look, Yin Yue treats the BOSS factory manager and the female butcher in the copy equally, and is not afraid of them at all. He even argues with them for Lin Han. To Lin Han, he is a golden thigh that he needs to stretch out his arms to hug.
In the face of sufficiently shining advantages, all flaws will be buried.
Lin Han undoubtedly believed in Yin Yue.
But the premise of everything is that Yin Yue is a player.
If Yin Yue isn't a player, then what is he? What's his purpose?
He appeared beside Lin Han, disguised as a player. What was he seeking?
Lin Han never thought about this matter before, but now, after he began to doubt Yin Yue, he couldn't help but think about it.
They are two strangers, so who should truly give to whom? No one is obligated to help anyone else.
So Yin Yue’s position at this time seems particularly strange.
After closing the door, Yin Yue slowly turned around, looked down at Lin Han, and spoke again: "Are you so scared?"
This was the first time Lin Han truly felt the pressure from Yin Yue.
Lin Han had not paid attention to Yin Yue's height before, but only now did he realize that Yin Yue was half a head taller than him.
Standing so close, Lin Han was forced to look up at him. His smile was clearly very gentle, but because of the shadow, it became deeper and tainted with a slightly cold taste.
Lin Han's reason told him that Yin Yue was still trying to please him. His expression and tone showed a hint of weakness, which Lin Han could sense. It seemed that he was unwilling to let Lin Han continue to dwell on this matter.
He seemed to be telling Lin Han: We didn't see a strange corpse in this place, we can turn around and leave here and pretend that nothing happened, and we are still the same as before.
This is the obvious meaning of everything Yin Yue is doing at this moment.
Lin Han received all of them.
But at the same time, Lin Han raised her head and saw a bit of completely opposite malice on his still gentle and calm face.
When Yin Yue lowered her head, her eyelids closed slightly, and the shadow cast by her eyelashes covered her eyes. Her silver pupils were like moonlight blocked by clouds, and suddenly became dark.
His truest emotions seemed to surge in the darkness: You should reject me, refuse to accept my advice, tell me all your doubts, argue with me, and turn against me.
Lin Han read from Yin Yue's eyes a meaning that was completely different from his appearance.
Yin Yue, who seemed to want everything to be peaceful, inexplicably hoped that things would get out of hand, and that contradictory feeling came back again.
The same Yin Yue was expecting two completely different results. Lin Han could even sense that he was more eager for the latter.
Yin Yue was waiting for Lin Han to quarrel with him, waiting for Lin Han to go crazy. He was looking forward to this future so much that his face, which was obviously worried and distressed, was filled with anticipation and eagerness.
Lin Han's heart suddenly felt as if it were soaked in ice water, the chill penetrating into his bones, and he froze in place.
Yin Yue was still waiting for his answer.
He even reached out and pinched Lin Han's arm, and asked with a hint of urging: "Why don't you speak?"
Lin Han didn't dare to speak.
The more Yin Yue looked forward to the future, the less he could achieve it. Lin Han was certain that it would only push him into an unfathomable hell, and it was hard to say what would be waiting for him then.
"A little." Lin Han lowered his head, avoiding Yin Yue's gaze, and spoke in a low voice.
His voice was very soft, and it was trembling a little because of the shocking discoveries he made, making him sound quite pitiful.
This was not something Lin Han did intentionally, but it just happened to satisfy some of Yin Yue's desires.
Yin Yue sighed, patted Lin Han's shoulder gently, and said helplessly: "You are so timid, what would you do without me?"
The words still sounded so gentle, regretful and loving, but Lin Han could sense Yin Yue's regret from them.
At this time, the corpse in the cabinet was no longer Lin Han's concern.
He didn't need to lay everything out to Yin Yue. He was sure that Yin Yue was not one of the players who were supposed to enter this game - he was the one who killed the man in the closet, hid him there casually, and then approached him disguised as a player.
Lin Han didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't know what he wanted either. He only knew that there was a 99% chance that this inference was absolutely true.
Yin Yue's regret had already given him the answer.
Talking about the corpse at this time would only cause everything to develop as Yin Yue expected, and Lin Han didn't want to do that.
Some things cannot be pursued, otherwise the final outcome will be something he does not want to see.
Lin Han chose to lower his head and pretend to be an ordinary person who was frightened by the corpse, cowardly and timid.
Yin Yue is still the person who pretends to be someone who cares about him and protects him, so Lin Han's behavior can slow down his gradual metamorphosis to the greatest extent.
How could Yin Yue not know about his little tricks?
Lin Han knew that Yin Yue knew, but he also knew that Yin Yue would not expose him. She would act with him and "let nature take its course" with him.
That's what Silver Moon is like.
Lin Han felt Yin Yue's regret, but when he didn't know how to solve it, Lin Han, with his head down, discovered that his shadow on Yin Yue had changed. Standing with his back to the light, there shouldn't have been any change in his shadow. It could only be said that someone was coming from outside.
Lin Han slowly turned his head and saw the female butcher standing in the corridor outside the room, looking inside coldly.
The noise they made when closing the cabinet door was quite loud. There were no curtains blocking their view, and they were not hiding themselves, so it was normal for them to be discovered.
This means that they are once again entangled in new dangers.
But Lin Han did not feel the slightest bit of fear. He looked at the female butcher outside the window with the same expressionless face, looking at her greasy face and yellow eyes without any fear.
Lin Han could only imagine how monsters would appear in horror games when the protagonist was targeted by a crisis.
She could stand in the corridor, she could lean against the window with her face distorted, staring at him with her inorganic pupils, she could make terrifying sounds to scare him, but she shouldn't just stand there quietly like this.
This only means that she will not take action against them.
No, or rather, I dare not.
Because the real danger is behind Lin Han.
The slender fingers were still on Lin Han's shoulders, and the black cane with a silver glow was pointing at the ground beside him. Yin Yue stood behind Lin Han as a protector, silently warning the female butcher outside the window.
Don't get close, don't disturb them.
Time passed silently, and the female butcher finally left.
It was eerily quiet.
Lin Han exhaled quietly, without looking back, but staring at her toes and asked: "Are we going out now?"
Yin Yue didn't answer him immediately.
Lin Han only felt the other party's heavy gaze wandering from the top of his head, sweeping across his neck and extending to his slightly clenched fingertips. Lin Han subconsciously loosened his hand, not daring to show his nervousness.
Yin Yue chuckled. At this moment, he didn't seem to have any intention of breaking the peace.
Lin Han felt him raise his hand and touch the top of his head. His fingers were almost scalding hot, and they naturally soothed his heart, which was tense due to nervousness.
He heard Yin Yue say, "Wait a little longer."
It was a familiar, gentle, soothing voice, yet as thick as honey that almost overflowed from a sugar jar, as if its owner was secretly happy.
Glad that some of his secret desires were satisfied at this time.

I’d like to recommend CP Zhang Wusheng’s article “The Whole World Will Respect Me as King”. Everyone who has read it says it’s good!
There were early signs of the coming of the end of the world, with strange phenomena occurring frequently and the "X virus" sweeping the world.
They could be mutated plants and animals, or people who have been reborn and want to control the world and call themselves "new humans", or romantic heroes who stand up and use their flesh and blood to build a safe fortress for ordinary people.

When the Class C alert was sounded in Xiangning City, Chen Wu wrote a sentence in his notebook: [Brother, if you could remain sane after being infected with the X virus, would you be a hero or a villain?]
The next morning, while eating breakfast that had appeared out of nowhere in his home, he opened the notebook and saw a sentence written in almost identical handwriting to his own: [I choose C, and will be your knight]

There is a story circulating in survivor forums.
Don't let a man named Chen Wu know that you are coveting him. If you do that, he will instantly tear off that warm fake skin and make you want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot.
Because "Chen Wu" loves "himself" to the point of madness.
