Chapter 290 I Know Your Identity
Mingxi's face still pales when he thinks of the first time he saw the metal hidden under the human skin. "After injuring his head, he quickly lost his fighting ability and started making some strange noises. That's what he's like now."
An eerie silence filled the air, only the man in white was still twitching erratically, as if some sophisticated instrument was losing control.
Ming Xi's voice grew increasingly serious. "What's even stranger is that before he collapsed, he kept repeating, 'The mission...must be completed...'"
"Your Highness, could there be someone behind him?"
The scene before them made everyone present feel horrified.
Whether it was the visual impact in front of him or the words described by Mingxi.
It gave them goosebumps all over their bodies.
Lin Zhaoyue stared at the man in white on the ground and said coldly, "Bring the knife."
Feng Mian immediately pulled out the sword he was carrying from its sheath and handed it to Lin Zhaoyue.
She used a knife to pry open the clothes of the man in white, and underneath the clothes was still a human skin.
He looks no different from a normal man.
She thrust the knife in, but no blood came out.
When she wanted to move her knife forward a few more inches, she clearly felt resistance from the metal.
It felt like the tip of a knife piercing something metal.
At this moment, the man's eyes were fixed on her, and his strange and eerie voice seemed to be the overlapping voices of several people: "It's you...it's you who changed everything."
The cold words make people shudder.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips and said coldly: "So you can still speak."
"Then tell me, who are you and why did you take Chu Yinyin away?"
The man in white said coldly: "I won't tell you. It's all Chu Yinyin's fault for being such a loser that she couldn't complete her mission."
"Her mission?"
He said coldly: "Of course, my mission is to become the heroine who is loved by the hero of this world."
Lin Zhaoyue discovered that the man in white was not speaking in a contradictory manner, but his words about her previous question might involve some restrictions, so he said he would not tell her.
But he could tell her about Chu Yinyin.
She sneered, "Being loved by men is her mission? You set a woman's mission to be loved by men? So everything you teach her is for her to seduce men?"
He said coldly, "This is her fate. Everything I taught her was to make her special and attract the attention of outstanding men. To make other women her foils. But she didn't do it well. It was a waste of all the skills I taught her. In the end, she ended up like this."
Lin Zhaoyue took two slow steps forward, and the hem of her skirt left faint traces in the snow.
"But have you ever thought that if the skills you gave her weren't used to compete with women and seduce men, they could clearly make her life better. Clearly, with those skills, she could become a woman who doesn't need to rely on men to live a better life. Instead of being someone who only thinks about men and relies on men for everything.
Her path was wrong from the beginning.
Betting everything on others is a failure in itself."
The man in white seemed to be emotionally fluctuating. "No, this is her fate. Even her body was tuned for a man's pleasure. She was supposed to be the hero's beloved, and they should have been happy together. His love for her was enough for her to have everything, but everything went off track. It was you who ruined it!"
At this time, Mingxi and the others didn't say anything, although they were shocked and confused.
But they knew that it was not their turn to ask, so they naturally pretended to know nothing.
Because they knew very well that this was a secret known to His Highness.
It seemed that His Highness understood everything the man in white said.
No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess was so concerned about Chu Yinyin that she investigated this person in advance and arranged for Mingxi and the Black Hawk Guard to intercept this person.
"And you, not only took away the protagonist's luck, but you even broke the constraints of this world, allowing it to complete itself and expand into an independent world...
The dead eyes of the man in white showed an expression of disbelief, just like a human.
Lin Zhaoyue's voice was as calm as water: "Do you really think they will live happily together? Then why does Lu Chenzhou regret it?"
"Why would a reborn person want to give up their original spouse in their previous life and make a different choice from their previous life?"
"What will become of the so-called heroine you mentioned after she loses the love of a man?"
"Normal love should be respectable, but love that disregards human ethics and tramples upon everything in the world is nothing but a castle in the air, shaky and vulnerable to collapse. It can be easily blown away by a gust of wind.
"Give an ordinary woman abilities that she shouldn't have, brainwash her, and use these abilities to win a man's affection, turning her into a loyal believer in his love..."
"Don't you think that this behavior itself is a blasphemy against the word love?"
Her eyes fell on Chu Yinyin lying on the ground, and she spoke calmly, "Look at what she has become now. It's just because the man doesn't love her that she has gone crazy."
He spoke in a sympathetic tone, but there was no pity in his eyes.
"That's just because she's useless!" the man in white retorted. "As long as things continue as they should, she'll win the affections of all men... As the heroine, even if she doesn't do anything, the hero should still be head over heels in love with her..."
There were bursts of white light in his pupils.
There was a crackling sound of metal friction under the skin.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at him coldly, "I think I know what you are."
"As for what I just said, it wasn't meant for you. Rather, it was meant for the person who gave you the order."
When Lin Zhaoyue said this.
A trace of shock appeared on the face of the man in white.
The skin on his face seemed to explode like a spider web.
"You...you are returning to..."
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up in a cold tone, "Yes, I know."
After the two looked at each other for a moment, the man in white suddenly muttered something incomprehensible.
"I have been abandoned by the world, and everything has changed..."
"I have failed my mission and will be wiped out. And you will truly dominate this world..."
"As long as the protagonist survives, there's a chance... I can teach her again and devise a strategy..."
"Alarm, alarm—program error—"
When he said this, his whole body suddenly twitched, his eyes widened like a person who died with his eyes open, as if he was frozen at this moment.
He didn't utter another word and lay in the snow like a corpse.
This strange scene made the other people feel a chill all over their bodies.
This eerie feeling is even colder than the snowy day now.
Lin Zhaoyue's cold gaze fell on the body of the man in white.
"It burned down."
Feng Mian hesitated: "Your Highness, will he still..."
Lin Zhaoyue: "He is not a human to begin with. Even if he is resurrected, he is not a human. So there is no such thing as death or immortality. It's just that I want him to disappear."
Ming Xi took the initiative to step forward: "Your Highness, I will do it. I am afraid that ordinary fire will not work on him, so I can try to use my divine power."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, that Chu Yinyin..." Mu Ying looked at Chu Yinyin lying in the snow.
Chu Yinyin woke up at some point, her eyes staring blankly at the snow, like a rag doll that had lost its soul.
Lin Zhaoyue's gaze also fell on Chu Yinyin, and she slowly walked in front of her in her brocade boots, stepping on the snow.
Her voice fell from above, as cold as snow.
"Chu Yinyin, do you have anything else you want to say to me today?"
Chu Yinyin's eyes trembled slightly.
"It's all because of you... If it weren't for you... I wouldn't be where I am today... right?"
"I hate Lu Chenzhou's betrayal... But, I hate you even more... I'm obviously the heroine, Mingxi should be mine, even Xiao Tingye... should be saved by me... Why did you want to snatch her away? Why..."
Lin Zhaoyue shifted her gaze away from her and walked slowly into the house.
"Send her on her way."
There seemed to be a hint of helplessness and sigh in her soft voice.
Mu Ying looked at Chu Yinyin, who was lying on the ground with red eyes and muttering to herself, filled with hatred.
Draw the sword and kill the enemy.
Blood splattered all over the ground, but soon seeped into the snow, leaving only a faint red mark.
After seeing the man in white, Lin Zhaoyue wanted to know what Chu Yinyin's reaction was.
If she came to her senses, perhaps she would spare her life.
But obviously, she is still immersed in her own world.
She has even awakened to her identity as the heroine.
Then, she couldn't stay.
Otherwise, if the man in white wanted to take her away for "re-training" as he said, who knows what kind of trouble it would bring.
And she is no longer of any use.
We are all people controlled by fate.
She had given her more than one chance.
This result is also her own choice.
And this time, Chu Yinyin's death was so easy.
There was no obstruction.
There are no collateral effects either.
She didn't even feel any fluctuations brought by this world.
Yes, those shackles have long disappeared.
This is no longer the world in the previous plot.
It has become an independent world, and each of them controls his own destiny.
She took a deep breath and looked back at the clear sky.
It's a new world...
When Xiao Tingye came back to find her after finishing his work, he saw something burning in the yard.
He was puzzled for a moment.
"What's this?"
Lin Zhaoyue kept warm in the hall while eating hot snacks.
Something seemed to be burning in the snow outside the yard.
The smell is very bad.
He shook off the snow as he walked to the door.
But he did not come in directly, but his eyes fell on the blazing fire in the yard.
Lin Zhaoyue personally watched the man in white being burned, and now his body can no longer be seen.
There seemed to be nothing but a heap of scrap metal in the fire.
Seeing this, Mu Ying hid away, fearing that she would be haunted by something.
When Mingxi saw Xiao Tingye coming, she just glanced at him.
Then continue to stare at the thing in the fire.
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, "Nothing, just a pile of junk."
Xiao Tingye stood quietly by the side, looking at the fire, without saying a word.
His expression seemed solemn and a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhaoyue asked, her eyes falling on Xiao Tingye's face.
Could it be that he also sensed something?
Xiao Tingye retracted his gaze, a hint of something hidden in his eyes, "Nothing, it's just that I always feel that this thing is a bit dangerous. Your Highness should stay away from it."
Lin Zhaoyue picked up the spoon to scoop up a spoonful of hot soup and took a sip.
"It is indeed dangerous, so Sir Xiao, would you like to come over?"
Xiao Tingye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took two steps at a time and came to her.
But he knelt on one knee two steps away from her, "Your Highness."
Lin Zhaoyue lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao Tingye who was kneeling beside her.
His eyes also raised slightly, and his cold pupils were tinged with tenderness.
It was clear that those eyes were filled with lust for her, but every time he would practice the utmost courtesy.
He especially liked to kneel down, salute, and grovel before her after being taught a lesson by her.
At this moment, although he was in a lower position, his violent aura enveloped her in an extremely enveloping manner.
Now that subtitles are suddenly gone, she is actually a little uncomfortable.
If subtitles were there, I'm afraid it would be another joke.
Perhaps influenced by the subtitles, when she saw Xiao Tingye's appearance, some less serious thoughts came to her mind.
She curled her lips and said, "Master Xiao, you have worked hard. I wonder if Master Xiao would like some soup?"
Xiao Tingye's eyes fell on Lin Zhaoyue's celadon bowl.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"Since it is a gift from Your Highness, I shall drink it." His voice was low and hoarse with a hint of restraint.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and she deliberately moved the bowl towards herself, "I didn't say I would give it to you."
Xiao Tingye's eyes darkened, but he still maintained a respectful attitude, "Then I will drink while watching Your Highness."
His gaze burned, as if he wanted to stare through the bowl of soup. Lin Zhaoyue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and coughed lightly, "Mu Ying."
Mu Ying immediately brought a set of tableware, filled the celadon bowl with soup, and then retreated.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled, "Master Xiao, please come in."
Xiao Tingye raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and slowly sat down opposite her.
But after sitting down, he took the bowl next to Lin Zhaoyue as if inadvertently.
His fingertips accidentally brushed against her fingers, causing a slight tremor.
He lowered his head and took a sip, a playful smile on his lips: "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. This soup is very sweet."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly: "I underestimated your shamelessness."
Xiao Tingye slowly put down the bowl, "Your Highness clearly understands me thoroughly."
Lin Zhaoyue's gaze also fell on the bowl. The rim of the cup he drank from was the same place she had just drunk from.
There is a hint of light pink lip balm on it.
“This is salty soup.”
Xiao Tingye raised his eyes, and they fell on her moist lips with a faint crystal glow. A dark color flowed in his eyes, "Your Highness's reward is naturally sweet."
