Chapter 184: Rebellious Yvestre
Late at night, at Bart Leon's mansion.
At this moment, in Lynn's room, the flickering candlelight reflected on everyone's faces, and they all looked worried.
Yvesette sat silently by the window, staring at the dark night sky.
After a while, Graya suddenly said with a troubled look, "I didn't expect that Lin En was the limb transplanter."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on his face, and then quickly looked away.
Obviously, no one was too lazy to respond to this stupid remark.
Only Afia, who had transformed into a kitten and was lying on Eleanor's knees, sighed in a very human way: "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid there is no one else who hasn't reacted except you."
"What's the meaning?"
Graya was stunned for a few seconds.
"Shut up."
Ivester's cold voice made Graya shrink into a quail in an instant.
Obviously, except for him, everyone present had already seen that everything that happened today was actually just another desperate attempt by Lin En, just to prevent Her Royal Highness the Princess from taking the risk of going to the Tomb of Heremus with them.
However, they still couldn't understand why they had to pretend to be the one who had received the limb.
And why did he assassinate the head of the Cortes family in the street, causing his life and death to be unknown now?
Everyone thought this behavior was crazy and very consistent with Lin En's personality, but no one could guess his true purpose.
Her Royal Highness seems to know something.
Unfortunately, when she took action, she did not expect that the guy actually had extraordinary time abilities, which allowed him to escape from the scene.
You know, in the polytheistic Saint Laurent Empire, time-related abilities are extremely rare, and no god can possess similar authority.
However, according to rumors, in the Republic of Sirenstadt in the southern continent, there seems to be an ancient church involved in the field of time.
After an unknown amount of time, Melanie slowly broke the silence: "Perhaps he did this to lure the snake out of its hole."
Such a big thing happened at home, especially involving her most beloved experimental subject No. 126, so even she could not sit still and left the laboratory to come and help.
Among all the people present, perhaps her brain is the best.
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
Eleanor asked softly with red eyes as she stroked Afia on her knees.
After the brother and sister were finally reunited, her brother behaved in front of her like a moth flying into a flame, making her cry all day in fear.
Melanie nodded, then sighed, "Thinking about it carefully, this is consistent with his way of doing things. However, after the case is solved, it is hard to say how everything will end."
Case solved?
end?
It was obvious that everyone's thoughts were not on the same channel at the moment.
They were still puzzled by Lynn's behavior, but Melanie had already seen the essence of the matter.
Noticing the confused and worried looks around her, she didn't keep them in suspense: "You must have read the limb transplanter's files many times, right?"
"That's right."
Everyone said in unison.
Melanie nodded. "Based on my understanding of the Ascension Trial and my research on the demons, this Limb Reattacher, Burrhuman, is most likely a transcendent who needs to commit serial murders in order to be promoted to the fifth level."
"For the extraordinary people who believe in 'evil and cruelty', nothing is more in line with the content of the Ascension Trial than becoming the source of fear."
"And the actions of Subject 126 happened to prevent the demon from achieving his goal."
"Prevent?"
Some people felt confused.
"That's right." Melanie nodded slightly. "Compared to a specific person, the Limb Reattacher Burrhuman is more like an abstract concept, a scary thing like an urban legend."
"As long as he is not arrested, the panic in the hearts of the people will not be resolved."
"Once panic exists, it will continuously provide him with energy, making him stronger and stronger. In the near future, he may even quietly advance to the realm of a fifth-order legend."
"Think about it. A fifth-level legendary transcendent from the demon race is good at hiding and assassination. Such a terrifying existence lurking in Glostin is like hanging a knife over everyone's head."
"If this day really comes, people will only live in fear and the whole city will become a place of panic."
"But Subject 126 cracked this in a very simple and crude way."
"He broke the original abstract concept with the lie that 'Lynn Bartlett is the limb-receiver'. This means that the fear energy that should have belonged to the real limb-receiver has now been transferred to him."
"This is tantamount to directly destroying his advancement trial and preventing those things from happening."
At once, everyone understood.
Only Graya was still confused: "But what does this have to do with solving the case?"
Right now, Lin En has been wanted by the whole city. In addition to the military and various forces, even the three major churches have sent their elites to hunt down the limb grafter Lin En.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he not only committed a heinous crime, but also held a prince hostage on the spot.
It's just too big a matter.
And it has come to this point just to disrupt the advancement trial of a fourth-level transcendent?
Hearing this, Rhine on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly: "If showing off your stupidity is a habit, you are now in a hopeless situation."
"Let me ask you, after the Ascension Trial is destroyed, do you think the real limb-replacer will remain indifferent, or will he find that guy and kill him in a way that suits his style, declaring that the murderer is someone else?"
Fear energy is necessary for him to be promoted to the fifth-level legend.
Therefore, even if he knew there was something strange about it, he would never sit idly by and watch Lin En pick the peaches that belonged to him.
This is an endless hatred.
Lin En understood this from the beginning, so he used this method to force him to show up.
This is an outright conspiracy.
Graya finally understood the deeper meaning of this, and his expression suddenly changed drastically: "So, isn't Lin En in danger right now?"
He subconsciously clenched his fists and wanted to stand up, but when he looked at the indifferent Princess, he gritted his teeth.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Everyone looked towards the door at the same time. Even the princess who had been looking out the window came back to her senses and cast a faint glance.
It turned out that it was Morris who rushed back, sweating profusely.

"According to the latest information, Councillor Black's life has been saved, but the thread shot by Lynn pierced through his abdomen and injured his spine. He will most likely be confined to bed for the rest of his life."
He said anxiously.
The moment they heard the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, even at that point, Lin En remained extremely calm and was not blinded by anger.
Hearing this, a look of relief emerged on Ivisette's face, and her fingers, which had been clenched tightly under her sleeves, also relaxed a little.
Then she stood up quickly and ordered loudly with a stern look: "Everyone, set off immediately! We must find that guy before other forces do!"
Hearing these words, Rhine, who had been inexplicably nervous since before, seemed to come alive and collapsed completely in the chair.
Graya looked at his brother strangely, not understanding why.
"you"
He was about to ask, but Rhine gave him a look.
It was not until the two of them left the Bartleon mansion and were in a secluded place with no one around that he completely relaxed.
"Brother, why were you so nervous just now?"
Graya asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Rhine sighed and looked at his stupid brother with complicated eyes.
After a while, he slowly said, "Were you curious just now? Why did Her Royal Highness still seem so unhurried when the situation had become so urgent?"
Graya nodded, very confused.
"Because she has been waiting for news from Morris." Rhine said calmly, "After all, the nature of a person being dead and not dead is completely different."
"If he's not dead, there's still room for recovery."
"But if Lin En really had killed him, then the order we received would not be like this now, but..."
"And what?"
"Night attack on the palace."
The Church of Silence.
Tia was awakened from her sleep by a hurried knock on the door.
She opened her eyes subconsciously, only to find that the corners of her eyes were filled with tear marks for some reason.
What on earth was wrong with her? She sat blankly on the bed, her bare feet gently stepping on the wooden floor, and she felt a little dazed.
Fortunately, the next second, the knock on the door sounded again, making her subconsciously want to stand up and open the door.
At this moment, she was wearing a white nightgown that reached her ankles. Although there was no beautiful sight to be seen, it was enough to arouse people's imagination.
Since this is a monastery and all the people inside are female members of the church, there is no need to avoid suspicion.
Kotia still had a blanket wrapped around her body.
Considering that the person knocking on the door at this time might be Brother Xia, I did this subconsciously.
But even she herself didn't understand why she did such a thing.
Fortunately, after opening the door, she saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was her friend, Sister Louise.
Seeing Tia's ignorant look, Sister Louise thought she was so cute while tidying up her messy long hair that fell on her shoulders.
"What's wrong Louise? Why did you come to see me at this hour?"
"Something big has happened!" Louise remembered the reason why she knocked on the door, her expression solemn. "Not long ago, the Limb Reaper, Burrhuman, committed the thirty-seventh murder. He assassinated Senator Black at the door of the Mandated Punisher headquarters, and then took the Fourth Prince Joshua hostage on the spot!"
"His Majesty Calderon was furious and immediately issued the highest level of wanted order. The entire city was under martial law and the three major churches were ordered to send personnel to track down the suspect!"
"He even promised that whoever caught the murderer first would get a branch of the Holy Spirit Tree!"
Hearing this, Tia became more serious: "What is the true identity of the murderer?"
"Isn't it Lynn Bartleron?" Louise looked at her in confusion. "Although you have repeatedly emphasized to me today that he is innocent, the facts are in front of us. He even admitted it in public."
"I have to say, Tia, you've been really weird lately."
(ps: I originally planned to update at 4 or 5 in the morning, and didn't plan to delay it for too long, but I suddenly got acute gastroenteritis. As you know, I have always had this problem. I just came back from the hospital. Anyway, I'm sorry brothers (;′⌒`).) (End of this chapter)
