Lin Yu had been stalling for ti from the very beginning.
Although he didn't think a re 'First-Tier' like himself could do much against Fluoxetine, who had long been famous and notorious as a 'Third-Tier'...
Opportunities like this were rare, so he had to at least try.
Even though Fluoxetine had chosen the location, depriving Lin Yu of ho field advantage, and he was quite certain that ambushes and sneak attacks would likely be ineffective against her...
But what if the one doing the sneak attack wasn't him?
Lin Yu happened to have Hannah the octopus, who was quite skilled at disguise—disguises that had even been proven capable of fooling mbers of the 'Free Alliance'.
And besides the octopus, he also happened to have just recently subdued another artificial human, Stiller, a Truth Corporation employee with 'Second-Tier' frontal combat capability and rich battle experience.
With the help of these two, Lin Yu didn't think there was zero possibility of success.
So he devised a rough plan—when it ca to plans involving killing soone, the rougher they were, the more likely they were to succeed.
et Fluoxetine, attract her attention...
Then wait for Stiller to kill her.
From the initial joke inspired by the God of Change that resembled a witty remark, to later revealing the face of "Xia Yue"...
Everything was to buy ti for Stiller.
Even with Hannah's disguise, this Truth Corporation artificial human still had to move extrely carefully to circle around behind Fluoxetine.
And even at the final mont, Lin Yu had to wait until Fluoxetine was at her most distracted before daring to let Stiller strike!
At this very mont, what pierced through Fluoxetine's upper abdon was Stiller's dagger.
Lin Yu covered his shoulder and stepped back, looking at Fluoxetine whose eyes had gone unfocused, feeling sowhat incredulous.
"Did it work?"
As he spoke, Stiller, who had revealed himself behind him, pulled out the dagger and casually sliced Fluoxetine's throat as well.
The girl's body went limp and collapsed to the ground, blood pooling around her. Lin Yu supported himself with his hands on his knees, ignoring the injury to his shoulder, and laughed heartily.
"Ahahahaha..."
He looked at Fluoxetine on the ground and laughed for a long ti.
Stiller looked at Lin Yu: "Do you hate her that much?"
"Of course, my peaceful life is gone forever, all thanks to her," Lin Yu said, pausing briefly, "But... but that's not why I'm laughing."
"Then why are you laughing?"
Hannah also asked.
Lin Yu looked at Fluoxetine on the ground, rubbing the corner of his left eye with his fingertip: "I'm laughing because it turns out this woman also has things she's not good at."
Although she claid to love drama and her profession was 'Assassin', this Miss 'Fluoxetine' didn't seem to know...
What kind of reaction soone should have when their upper abdon is pierced.
It seems this move wasn't included in her usual killing thods.
When a person's upper abdon is pierced, it's not like when the heart is pierced—first, blood would gush from the upper digestive tract, she would vomit blood.
Secondly... she would be in great pain.
Of course, the most important evidence was...
"You know, Fluoxetine, I'm wearing the 【Mind-Peeping Eyepiece】 from Truth Corporation on my left eye... dead people don't have so much delight and joy in their emotions."
As Lin Yu spoke...
Fluoxetine in the blood pool lay still for two seconds, then slowly got up.
She sat up covered in blood from head to toe, but the wounds on her neck and upper abdon had long disappeared.
"My, your foundations are more solid than I imagined..."
Fluoxetine sat where she was, then stretched lazily.
"I quite admire you, Xia Yue... you're no longer just an uncut jade with extrely high potential—it seems quite a bit of your potential has already been realized."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You know my na?"
"I ca to kill you, of course I know, silly," Fluoxetine waved her hand, "So, why aren't you continuing to attack now?"
Lin Yu simply crossed his legs and sat on the rooftop: "I've played all my cards, and they didn't cause you any substantial harm. Attacking you again would be sowhat suicidal."
Fluoxetine chuckled softly: "Not at all—look."
She pulled out an hourglass from her bosom, but the sand inside was bright red.
The crystal glass shell of the hourglass was now covered in cracks.
"What's this?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
"This is my trump card for coming back to life, 【Reverse Ti Blood Sand】," Fluoxetine said calmly, "Every ti I suffer near-fatal injuries or instant death damage, it activates and returns to peak condition... However, every ti it activates, another crack appears on its surface. When it shatters, this item can't be used anymore."
Before Lin Yu could speak, Fluoxetine continued cheerfully on her own.
"But that doesn't an I can't be killed before it shatters—poisoning, soul attacks, or environntal kills are still things I can't defend against... Next ti you can try sinking to the bottom of the sea."
"I just tried to kill you, why are you proactively telling your weaknesses?"
Lin Yu couldn't help asking.
"Because this is also my 'trial'. I admire all souls with potential and hope they grow through the great terror of life and death, becoming magnificent existences that even gods would praise... and that naturally includes ," Fluoxetine said matter-of-factly, "If I get scared when it's my turn for a trial, wouldn't that make quite hypocritical?"
Fluoxetine said seriously.
Looking at Fluoxetine before him, Lin Yu montarily didn't know whether to praise this madwoman for having correct values.
After a long while, he could only sigh.
"You're pretty harsh on yourself too."
Fluoxetine said cheerfully: "So, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"You gave the chance to speak, which proves you don't want to kill . For soone who escaped death at your hands, fooled most players including you, and even dared to plan revenge against you—I guess you can't bring yourself to kill ," Lin Yu said gently, "And once I start speaking, even if you develop killing intent, I'm confident I can persuade you not to attack ."
Fluoxetine sighed.
"Being seen through feels really unpleasant. I do like you too much... ah wait, don't cheat, turn off the 【Mind-Peeping Eyepiece】."
"Already turned off. Keeping that thing on for too long consus a lot of energy."
Lin Yu said to Fluoxetine.
The two of them chatted on the rooftop like old friends, exchanging words back and forth.
Fluoxetine looked at Lin Yu before her, her eyes reflecting the night sky's light: "Although I really don't plan to kill you... I'd like to hear your thoughts. Why are you so confident you can persuade ?"
The evening breeze of Jiangcheng swept through the hundred-ter-high air, and the last trace of fla beside them extinguished.
"Because I want to join the 『Psychological Society』."
Lin Yu said thus.
