Jiang Lin remained silent, his eyes gradually turning cold, and he quietly put away the tattered photo.
"So it's Mr. Bai Liao." Jiang Lin slowly turned around and said in a sinister tone, "What are you Confucianists doing barging into my house in the middle of the night instead of resting?"
"Stop playing dumb," Linna said coldly. "You're probably the mole within the Night's Watch, aren't you?"
Jiang Lin remained silent.
"Oh no," Linnaeus said, "to be more precise, you were part of the mole team, weren't you?"
"......"
Jiang Lin remained silent for a while, then laughed.
Now that things have come to this point, and they've come knocking on our door, there seems to be no way we can deny it.
How did you find out?
Jiang Lin tilted his head: "I think I've been pretty good at pretending all along."
"You're a good liar. When we met, I didn't sense anything was wrong with you at all."
Linnaeus said, "But after we arrived at the Night's Watch precinct as Confucian scholars, you were the first Night's Watch captain to receive us."
"I was the first to greet you, is there a problem with that?" Jiang Lin asked, puzzled.
“Because you traitors knew all along when we would arrive.” Lin Nai narrowed his eyes. “And you should also know that we are not Confucian employees at all.”
"..." Jiang Lin did not speak.
“You all knew I was Linnaeus all along,” Linnaeus said leisurely. “Since this was a trap specifically set for me, of course you wouldn’t let the other Night’s Watch members greet us first.”
"..." Jiang Lin frowned.
This guy...
How did he know I knew?
"However, this was all just my guess at the beginning."
Linna said, "So I did some investigation on you... You're probably not the real Captain Jiang, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin's expression changed drastically.
Linna: "Three years ago, you joined the human plane expeditionary force and were captured by the alien demon race."
"After that, there was no further news, and everyone thought you were dead."
"But two years later, you and several other Night Watchmen inexplicably escaped back from the other dimension."
Lin Nai said expressionlessly, "But the Jiang Lin who escaped back should no longer be the same Jiang Lin."
"...I didn't expect you to have investigated this far." Jiang Lin revealed a pale and sinister sneer: "Linnai, the apostle of the White Death God Carlos, snatched the national freshman championship from the hands of the Ghost Valley disciples... He really is a monstrous talent."
“Although you are not Jiang Lin, you should still be human.” Lin Nai narrowed his eyes, staring at the person in front of him, and asked, “Since you are human, why did you betray the human race and cooperate with the demon race?”
"Betrayal? Hahahaha... How dare a human accuse me of betrayal?" Jiang Lin laughed, his laughter bordering on hysteria.
Lin Nai stared blankly at his frenzied state, remaining silent.
"Then let me show you what I really look like," Jiang Lin said with a sneer, slowly tearing off the human skin mask from his face.
His true colors have been revealed...
Linnaeus's eyebrows gradually furrowed.
It was an extremely terrifying face.
Burns, knife wounds, and marks from demonic toxins... all sorts of branding scars covered that face, making it look particularly eerie!
Jiang Lin pointed to his face, his voice exceptionally cold: "These are the marks I left on the interdimensional battlefield. Not just on my face, but also on my body, are the marks left from when I was captured and enslaved by the demon race!"
Lin Nai paused for a moment: "It seems that you are also one of the extraordinary warriors who went to the dimensional battlefield with Jiang Lin."
“That’s right.” Thick fluid gradually dripped from Jiang Lin’s scarred face, making him look particularly disgusting. Combined with his gloomy appearance, it resembled a scene from a horror movie. “My real name is Qi Lin. Before I went to the Otherworld Battlefield, my original identity was an employee of the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals!”
International Association of Extraordinary Individuals...
Linnaeus thought of the employees of the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals who had been killed by werewolves...
"Three years ago, during the interdimensional war, all the major human powers around the world were to send troops to conquer other realms and wage war against the demon race. I accepted the call to the human interdimensional army on behalf of the International Association of Extraordinary Ones."
Qi Lin said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I was drafted?"
Lin Nai suddenly thought of something, paused for a moment, and said, "Because your extraordinary talent is low."
"That's right! Because my extraordinary talent is low!" Qi Lin clenched his fist: "My extraordinary cultivation talent is only D-level!"
"In this era, you should know very well what it means to be a low-talented superhuman!"
"It means no money! It means that if we don't risk our lives to do difficult tasks, we simply can't survive! We can't even pay a huge amount of living expenses and taxes!"
"But for the human race, there is no need to waste resources to cultivate someone with my talent."
"Moreover, at that time I was not good with words, and I was honest and simple. I also didn't have a good relationship with the leaders in the International Association of Extraordinary People."
"So it's impossible for me to get much cultivation resources every month. In this extraordinary era, spiritual energy tax and interdimensional communication fees are astronomical figures for us low-level extraordinary beings!"
"So my only option is to accept the dimensional army's call and go to the otherworldly battlefield. That way, I can get some money and cultivation resources, and I can also leave something for my daughter..."
Linnaeus fell silent.
“But later on the interdimensional battlefield, you were captured,” Linna said.
“Yes…” Qi Lin’s face was somewhat ashen: “The dimensional battlefield is something that young people like you who have never been there can’t even imagine how cruel it is… After our team was defeated, we were all captured by the Demon Legion and taken back to the Demon Clan’s headquarters. We were kept like livestock and used as slaves.”
"And the human race, they knew perfectly well that we were imprisoned here, but they never even considered coming to rescue us."
"Because they know that we low-level superhumans are just cannon fodder, and even if we are rescued, it will be of no use at all."
"Saving us will come at a great cost, and who would be willing to pay that price to save us cannon fodder?"
At this point, Qi Lin chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, from the very beginning, after I was captured, I never expected anyone to come and rescue us."
"But what I find most unbearable is what they did afterward!"
