Ch 515: Lin Yun’s True Identity

Lin Yun was suspicious, really not understanding why saving herself would lead to others’ deaths. She stared intently at Kui, urgently wanting an answer.

Kui’s answer this time was simple and clear: “I smelled their scent on you; you belong to their offspring. The part of your memory and energy hidden within you hasn’t been awakened yet. The liquid they just injected into you would turn an ordinary person into a soulless puppet assistant, but for someone like you, it awakens you. You are a super-powered person from the fifth batch of improvements. Once awakened, your constitution will no longer have their weaknesses. I alone cannot contend with you.”

“Impossible! You must be lying! How could I be one of them?” Lin Yun widened her eyes, utterly incredulous, and emotionally excited, she refuted.

Zhao Tong hurriedly reached out to grab Lin Yun’s arm, softly comforting her: “Don’t worry, let’s ask clearly.”

She shifted her gaze to Kui and asked, “Then what is her situation’s relationship to the life and death of others?”

Kui’s expression turned serious, explaining: “The only method to stop her awakening is my constitution. That is to say, I must be used as the energy source; she must eat me. I am her antidote. However, if I die, with only Ahao, he would be enough to kill all of you. But if I stay to eliminate Ahao, she cannot receive treatment.”

Zhao Tong and Lin Yun, upon hearing this, instantly understood.

Zhao Tong said: “Aren’t there many life seeds? We can turn them all into people to fight against those people, right?”

Kui shook his head: “The life seeds are currently residing in the golden insects. To turn them into people, someone needs to be a carrier. But who would be willing to make such a sacrifice? Moreover, the golden insects live underground and are not easy to find. The life seeds within them are in the embryonic stage and cannot communicate. They need to mature before they can recover their memories. So I cannot die; I must go back and see if I can find other methods to eliminate them.”

Zhao Tong doubtfully asked: “You defeated them so easily just now; they don’t seem that terrifying, do they?”

Kui said with a serious expression: “They are not true super-powered people; they are advanced tool people. Tool people have limited memories and weaker constitutions. This is done to prevent them from betraying. The truly terrifying one is the monster that eats me; it is the super-powered person.”

“Then how will you go back?” Zhao Tong pressed further.

“The aircraft is right below; I can use the aircraft to go back.” Kui pointed to the Sky Pit.

“Isn’t the aircraft broken? And there’s all water down there. After so much time, it probably has rotted away, right?”

“It won’t rot. My going back isn’t the kind of leaving you understand.” Kui finished, then turned his gaze to Lin Yun, “Do you feel any discomfort now?”

Lin Yun anxiously and bewilderedly said: “I feel much better now. Besides some pain in my body, I feel fine. I think… did you make a mistake? How could I be a super-powered person? I’m just an ordinary person. Even if I were a super-powered person, I wouldn’t harm anyone. Please don’t kill me, okay? If I really am a super-powered person, I can still help you!”

Kui fell silent, seemingly wrestling internally with something intense.

Seeing this, Lin Yun said again: “I think I should be almost alright. That liquid probably didn’t affect me.”

“No. It’s impossible for it not to have an effect.” Kui said, while reaching out and pulling out the knife from Zhao Tong’s waist.

Seeing this, Lin Yun’s face turned pale; she fearfully shouted: “Are you going to kill me?”

Before Lin Yun could finish speaking, Kui stabbed the knife into his chest.

This sudden scene instantly stunned Zhao Tong and Lin Yun. They widened their eyes, incredulously staring at Kui.

Kui’s body fell, blood gushing out from the wound like a fountain, quickly losing his breath and heartbeat.

Lin Yun and Zhao Tong were once again shocked into a stupor; time froze in this moment.

After a long while, Zhao Tong, as if awakening from a dream, suddenly said: “He wasn’t trying to kill you; he was trying to save you. You… dare you eat him?”

Lin Yun quickly shook her head forcefully: “I won’t eat him. I’m really fine; I’m definitely going to be fine. I’m just an ordinary person; how could I be a super-powered person? He must have made a mistake.”

Zhao Tong nodded, saying: “I think he made a mistake too. But what should we do now? Sister Na and the others might have all become tool people, and we don’t know how to operate the ship; how can we go back?”

Lin Yun looked at Zhao Tong, her gaze much friendlier, “Zhao Tong, thank you for believing me, and thank you for helping me.”

“Lin Yun, there’s no one else here. Let me tell you the truth; I was forced to do it. I’ve wanted to leave Sister Na and the others for a long time. Before, I treated you like that because I was doing it for them. You won’t be angry with me, right?” Zhao Tong said apologetically.

Lin Yun pretended to be angry: “I’m not angry, but you really hurt me before.”

“Sorry, then… then you can pull my hair to vent your anger.”

“You said it.” Lin Yun was not polite, reaching out and grabbing Zhao Tong’s hair, forcefully tugging it.

Zhao Tong endured the pain, holding on for a few seconds before saying: “Okay? My scalp is almost ripped off!”

As she spoke, she tilted her head to look at Lin Yun, and suddenly discovered that Lin Yun’s eyes were flashing with strange red light.

“Ah?” Zhao Tong exclaimed, using all her strength to break free, loudly shouting: “Lin Yun! What’s wrong with you?”

A strange smile slowly appeared on Lin Yun’s lips; she said: “I’m fine. I haven’t vented enough anger yet.” As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly pushed Zhao Tong to the ground, her hands like clamps, tightly strangling Zhao Tong’s neck.

Zhao Tong immediately felt that Lin Yun’s strength was much greater than before. Her breathing became increasingly difficult. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free. She could only say with difficulty: “Quick… let go… let go…”

Lin Yun didn’t let go, but her body was thrown away by a powerful force.

Zhao Tong coughed violently, slowly sitting up from the ground, and discovered Young Master Guo standing in front of Kui’s corpse.

Just now, Young Master Guo had hatched and happened to see Lin Yun about to kill Zhao Tong. He hurriedly pulled Lin Yun away.

At this moment, Young Master Guo had a serious expression and said to Lin Yun: “You’ve begun to be awakened.”

Lin Yun stood up from the ground, constantly shaking her head in denial: “No, I haven’t. I was just playing around with her just now. I’m fine, really.”

Zhao Tong pointed at Lin Yun, loudly saying: “Your eyes have turned red; you’re about to mutate. You clearly wanted to kill me just now!”

Young Master Guo turned around and pulled out the knife from Kui’s corpse. Without any hesitation, he fiercely chopped off one of his arms and threw it in front of Lin Yun, “Eat it immediately; there should still be a chance.”

Lin Yun looked at the bloody arm, feeling extremely resistant, “I’m fine; I won’t eat it!”

“Then I can only kill you.” Young Master Guo walked towards Lin Yun expressionlessly.

“Don’t… don’t kill me… How am I supposed to eat it? Can you roast it first before I eat it?” The red light in Lin Yun’s eyes gradually disappeared.

“Quick! Eat it quickly!” Young Master Guo urged.

Lin Yun gritted her teeth. Thinking that she might really turn into a monster, she struggled for a few seconds before picking up the half-foot-long arm, tightly closing her eyes, and eating it in large bites.
