Lin Ye lay weakly on the rooftop, multiple wounds on his body still oozing blood, surrounded by villagers' corpses.
He had killed all the villagers here.
However, this ti no oversized villagers ca to surround him, and the monster below didn't extend any limbs to ambush him.
Lin Ye had been guarding against those limbs the entire ti, but not a single one erged from below.
'Could it be that Jessica did sothing over there, preventing those limbs from attacking ?'
Lin Ye didn't dwell on it too much, simply making a ntal note of this information.
After resting for so ti, Lin Ye got up to explore Night Inscription Village. Without those frenzied villagers and the ever-present black limbs, the nightti village was unusually quiet, as if it were just an ordinary ancient settlent.
Lin Ye ntally mapped Night Inscription Village, marking all the locations of the oversized villagers.
After quickly exploring the entire village, Lin Ye tried heading outside, but found that just like last ti, no matter which direction he went, he could only wander around the vicinity of Night Inscription Village.
Lin Ye had no choice but to return underground, but the crevice had already disappeared. He was trapped in this area.
'Well, since I'm already here, and idle hands make idle minds...'
Lin Ye used the firewood chopper to dig through the soil along the limbs, quickly finding the main body of the limb giant monster.
He began dissecting the limb giant monster, searching for its core locations. This wasn't difficult for Lin Ye.
The limb giant monster had multiple core sections, all located in the central part of its main body. These core sections connected to so slender limbs, with the other ends of those limbs linked to the oversized villagers.
Lin Ye didn't kill the limb giant monster. He wanted to know if in the previous simulation, their destruction of the limb giant monster had allowed the monster in the sky to control them.
This deduction seed quite unreasonable, since these monstrous things were clearly related to the sky monster, which shouldn't create things that limited itself. But unreasonable didn't an impossible - he had to verify this possibility.
However, before Lin Ye could figure out the functions of the limb giant monster and oversized villagers, a stiff smile once again appeared on his face. A dark flesh thread erged above his head, one end already inserted into Lin Ye's skull.
Smiling, Lin Ye used the firewood chopper to decapitate himself.
……………………………
【Remaining Simulation Attempts: 8】
Buzz buzz buzz...
Lin Ye opened his eyes, his fingers twitching slightly, the sensation of decapitating himself still lingering in his hands.
"You're awake? Now go change your clothes in the back."
Jessica delivered the sa lines as before.
Lin Ye cooperated with Jessica's performance as skillfully as in the previous simulation, but this ti he slightly altered his dialogue.
"I seem to have crawled out from underground. If we return to the village, give so ti and I should be able to find that opening."
Lin Ye planned to bring Jessica to et Caroline this ti. He needed Caroline to tell them what the monster in the sky was.
"Good. As long as you cooperate fully with , I'll do my best to ensure you co out alive."
Jessica really wanted to charge straight in, but if Dylan could find an opening to penetrate deep into Night Inscription Village, she could delay her assault.
Lin Ye repeated the process from the previous simulation, except this ti after dinner, he left the room together with Jessica.
Lin Ye led Jessica to the narrow opening. Without wasting words, Jessica pushed the bag through the hole and squeezed in herself, with Lin Ye following close behind.
The two successfully found the constantly moving object. This ti Jessica had brought a flashlight, allowing them to clearly see it was a large, smooth red flesh mass.
"...This is it?"
Suppressing her urge to slice open the flesh mass, Jessica confird with Lin Ye.
"Yes, it probably went in through that crevice... Should I go in first to scout the path?"
Lin Ye displayed proper D-Class personnel awareness.
"No, this isn't an organization mission. Actually, I don't like using living people as scouts, even if they're D-Class personnel. This ti you can stay behind ."
Jessica took the lead in squeezing through the crevice.
Lin Ye followed closely behind her into the gap, imdiately hearing Jessica's astonished voice upon entry.
"Caroline? You're actually still alive!?"
Jessica excitedly embraced Caroline. She hadn't really believed she would find Caroline alive - she had co for revenge.
"Jessica, you need to leave this place imdiately, or you won't be able to get out!"
Caroline was equally agitated. She had much to tell Jessica, but now wasn't the ti for conversation.
"Who are you? Why are you taking Caroline's form? Or have you taken over her body?"
Jessica violently pushed Caroline away, drawing her pistol and pressing it against Caroline's head.
"Damn, was my acting that unconvincing? I observed for quite a long ti."
Caroline said calmly.
"I don't care what you are. As long as you leave Caroline's body, I'll let you go this ti."
Jessica hoped it wasn't too late.
"Show so respect. Without , she would have died long ago. Are you sure you want to release her? To waste ti in a place like this?"
Caroline glanced at Lin Ye, feeling sowhat uncomfortable under that man's gaze.
"...I need to confirm Caroline's condition. Only if she's still alive do we have anything to discuss."
If Caroline were dead, Jessica would 'converse' with this place in a different manner.
"Fine, if you insist."
Caroline closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, her expression was completely bewildered.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Her expression seed to be asking these questions to her surroundings.
"What's... Jessica? Why are you here? Don't you have a mission?"
When Caroline saw Jessica, she naturally smiled.
"Alright, you can co out now."
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Caroline was quite timid, so she didn't want her to understand their current situation.
"Relieved to see your girlfriend is okay?"
Caroline suddenly changed expressions, as if becoming a different person.
"Hmm, we'll discuss your situation after we get out. For now, tell everything you know. I'll handle the rest."
Jessica didn't refute the claim. Her relationship with Caroline wasn't that superficial kind.
They were both orphans raised by the organization, having lived together since childhood. Their bond was more like family without blood ties, rather than so flashy, sweet relationship.
"First, let introduce myself. I am the perfect creature personally created by Caroline. I previously lost to your organization's D-Class personnel, and now I can only hide within Caroline's body to get by. Once we leave this place, I'll return the body to Caroline. If you don't want Caroline to beco the organization's experintal subject, you'd better not report my existence to the organization."
Caroline straightforwardly explained her identity. She was also an acquaintance of Lin Ye's.
