Linna slowly opened her eyes.
One solved...
"Clam!"
As soon as he woke up, he heard a roar, and then a figure pounced on him!
Lin Nai raised her eyebrows and saw that it was Yang Xin!
Yang Xin looked like a disheveled female ghost, her eyes now completely black, as she lunged at Lin Nai with bared teeth and claws.
Linnaeus reacted quickly, nimbly rolling to his feet and performing two consecutive backflips to create distance.
Yang Xin missed her target, her face contorted with rage. She raised her hand again, and instantly, many black, hair-like shadows emerged from her fingernails, wrapping around Lin Nai!
Those eerie black lines were clearly not Yang Xin's own ability, but rather the ability of that spirit-devouring monster!
Lin Nai thought to herself, it seems that this kind of demonic undead cannot use the power of the possessed person before it has completely devoured the soul of the possessed person.
Dark shadows swept in from all directions. Linnaeus was surrounded by these black shadows, dodging and weaving through the corridor until he finally retreated to a corner.
Just then, the door to an office behind them was smashed open with a loud bang! The walls cracked like a spider web, and black shadows, like tentacles, emerged from inside and dragged Lin Nai inside!
Yang Xin smirked: "Hmph, got you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of white light appeared in the room!
Buzz—
A cold, white blade of energy swept out from the room!
Yang Xin staggered back several steps, a bloody gash appearing on her face, staring incredulously into the room.
Lin Nai summoned "White Night," and a sharp, huge silver scythe appeared out of thin air in his hand!
With another horizontal slash, the white blade severed all the black shadow lines!
Upon seeing the White Reaper's scythe, Yang Xin's expression changed drastically. He abruptly squatted down and pressed his hands to the ground.
The dark matter spread towards Linnaeus's feet like liquid!
Linnai caught sight of the flowing dark matter and immediately leaped up.
The black liquid chased upwards again.
However, the flow of these black liquids was ultimately too slow. Linnai used his speed to completely shake off the liquids and moved quickly using the walls as cover!
He stepped onto the wall, then swiftly leaped onto the ceiling, and then pushed off upside down with both feet.
The scythe slashed out in another arc, swiftly slicing away the black shadow that Yang Xin had used to protect himself!
"Ah!" Yang Xin cried out in surprise, staggering back several steps. She immediately showed fear and retreated in terror.
Before becoming undead, the Soul Eater was merely a malevolent-level monster.
Its only real strengths are control and surprise attacks.
When facing the enemy head-on, the Soul-Eating Monster is no different from any other low-level evil spirit...
"What a pity, it only brought out the true form of the Soul Devourer."
Lin Nai, carrying Bai Ye, slowly walked over. The huge, sharp scythe dragged on the ground, making a chilling "sizzle" sound, like a death knell. At the same time, he said leisurely, "Your companion was too greedy, which saved your life. But it doesn't matter, you can't escape anyway."
"..." Yang Xin felt that this sentence was really familiar...
"...You, you stay away!" Yang Xin suddenly realized something, gritted her teeth, and glared at Lin Nai fiercely: "My soul is now one with hers. If you kill me, she will die too!"
"Oh?" Linna said, "Such a good thing?"
Yang Xin: "?"
"Don't worry, I'm a Night Watchman now. It's only right and proper for me to save your life, since you're also a citizen of Yecheng."
Lin Nai's eyes gradually turned grayish-silver as he stared at the soul inside Yang Xin's body. He then changed the subject, saying, "But if it's truly beyond saving, then I can't let my emotions get the better of me."
"So, to what extent I can save them, I can only say I will do my best. If they cannot be saved, it is not my fault."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Nai swung Bai Ye and flashed forward with the speed of a ghost!
Yang Xin's eyes widened suddenly!
Buzz—
The blade transformed into a cold gleam!
A cold, sharp glint flashed across Yang Xin's body in an instant!
Yang Xin realized that she couldn't even make any dodging movements in that instant!
Despite wielding such a massive silver-white scythe, Linnaeus moved with the speed of a phantom!
'What the hell is this speed... Didn't this guy just awaken?!'
Yang Xin was deeply shocked.
"Uh...hehe...uh..."
Yang Xin made a hoarse sound from her throat, and slowly knelt down. Black water flowed from her eyes, nostrils, and ears, and a cloud of dark energy dissipated from her body in a misty form.
A black soul light emerged from it, floated in the air like a tadpole for a while, and was finally absorbed by "White Night" in Lin Nai's hand.
[Hint: Slaying an undead grants +1 Soul Point]
Lin Nai heard the system notification. Then, he turned to look at Yang Xin, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
“Your life has been saved, not because you were once my student, but because I must live up to the name ‘Night Watchman’.”
Lin Nai spoke softly, then he remembered what Cha Yizhou had said in the car earlier.
"But whether your soul is damaged, or whether you become an idiot, is none of my business..."
At this moment, Lin Nai suddenly sensed a strange aura of the dead.
The air in the environment seemed to become oppressive, stuffy, and gloomy.
That feeling was similar to when I was in the Sea of the Dead...
"What's going on...?"
Lin Nai frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and was immediately stunned.
The full moon in the night sky inexplicably turned into a strange and terrifying scarlet red!
The night sky seemed to be entirely dyed red by the blood moon, creating an eerie, dark red dome, with layers of color like an oil painting.
What happened?
The moon wasn't this color when it first got dark.
Although Linnaeus had seen blood moons before, it was quite unusual for a normal moon to suddenly turn into such a red blood moon.
Lin Nai frowned slightly: "Something doesn't feel right..."
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
