C4 Escape

Coleman City, in the cellar of Lin Xin's residence.

Hiding in the cellar, Linley raised his hands to cover his mouth, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would let out a loud shout.

Lin Xin, who was lying on the ground, had one eye on the crack in the cellar, and was winking mischievously at Linley.

A drop of blood slid down Lin Xin's eyelashes, landing on Linley's eyes, which were wide with shock.

The viscous blood that dripped into his eyes felt terrible, but Linley didn't dare to blink if he didn't want to. Because he was afraid! He was afraid that in the blink of an eye, Lin Xin would turn into an ice-cold corpse just like his mother, Lin Yue'er.

Lin Xin stared at the shivering Linley in the cellar as she struggled to move her right hand. She forced the index finger of her right hand into the tiny crack at the entrance of the cellar. A white piece of cloth fell through the crack into the cellar.

Linley hurriedly put down his right hand, which was covering his mouth, and gently gripped the index finger of Lin Xin's right hand. Half of his scarlet red eyes stared fixedly at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin's right eye peeked at Linley through the small crack in the cellar. Her little mouth slightly opened, but didn't make any sound. She only managed to make a few difficult movements with her mouth.

Because the opening to the cellar was too small, Linley could only see a small part of Lin Xin's mouth. He was momentarily unable to fully understand what she meant by her mouth. Just as Linley was trying his best to understand the meaning of Lin Xin's words, suddenly, from above the cellar, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Hearing these footsteps, Linley's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately saw Lin Xin's sad smile and resolute expression. Suddenly, tears blurred his vision, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the index finger of Lin Xin's right hand.

Lin Xin glanced longingly at Linley, then struggled to move the elbow of her left hand to the cellar's entrance, then shifted her weight to the elbow. She then used the last of her remaining battle spirit to use the elbow, and with a flip, firmly shut the cellar's entrance. Without leaving any trace behind, she hid her right hand behind her back, using her back to block the entire cellar's entrance.

Linley stared blankly at the severed finger in his hand. This finger was still warm from Lin Xin, but its owner was …

Linley couldn't help but put the severed finger back in his arms, and tears began to flow out of his eyes. Tears rolled down his face, wetting Linley's clothes, but he couldn't make a sound. All he could do was silently cry.

"Xin'er …" Linley silently chanted Lin Xin's name, and couldn't help but curl up into a corner of the cellar. At that moment, he suddenly understood the true meaning behind Lin Xin's words. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his body shrank back again.

Within the pitch-black cellar, Linley couldn't see, smell, or sense anything at all. Time passed, becoming extremely blurry. One minute, three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes. Linley didn't know how much time had passed, but due to his worry for Lin Xin, he lifted his head and placed Lin Xin's fingers in his bosom. Then, he reached for the cellar's entrance, preparing to open it.

Just as Lin Xin reached her hand out towards the cellar, a longsword pierced through the cellar's entrance, bringing with it scarlet blood. It was in front of Linley, and the stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Linley was so frightened by this sudden scene that he didn't dare move at all. He stared fixedly at the bloody longsword in front of him as it was slowly drawn out, all the way until it left the cellar.

Drops of warm blood flowed through the cracks in the cellar where the sword had pierced through and dripped into the cellar. The dark, narrow cellar was gradually filled with the smell of blood.

Coleman City, Lin Xin's residence.

Little White looked at the motionless Lin Xin on the ground after it had been stabbed by it. It then looked at the sword in its hand with a puzzled expression. She thought for a moment and then casually gave Lin Xin another stab. She found nothing different about her hand feeling. She mumbled to herself, puzzled, "Was it my imagination?"

Xiao Bai walked around Lin Xin for a while, sizing her up as it recalled her actions after entering the room. After it raised its head to inspect the situation of Lin Xin's residence, it squatted beside her and poked her, asking in confusion, "Could it be underneath here?"

Little White reached out its hand to Lin Xin's body, preparing to move her away. It looked carefully to see if there were any mysteries hidden under the cover of Lin Xin's body.

"Little White!" Little White! Little White! Where are you? This Seat is about to die from boredom. Quickly come and find some fun for this Seat! "

The moment Xiao Bai moved Lin Xin away from her original position, the lazy grumbling of Yao Gu could be heard from outside the residence. Lil 'White could only take a quick glance at the two cracks it had punctured and leave towards the direction of the sound.

"He's here, my lord."

Coleman City, in the cellar of Lin Xin's residence.

Hearing Little White's footsteps as he left, Linley couldn't help but let out a deep breath. Just then, when Little White had said, "Could it be down there?" and moved away from Lin Xin, Linley's heart had almost stopped beating. He couldn't help but stop breathing.

Linley touched the fingers of Lin Xin, who was in his arms, and took a few deep breaths. After calming his heartbeat and breathing, he carefully opened the cellar's entrance. After confirming his surroundings, he walked out.

Linley walked to Lin Xin's side. Looking at her right hand, which was missing an index finger, he couldn't help but recall the words that Lin Xin had said to him before closing the cellar door. Tears welled up in his eyes once again.

Before closing the cellar door, Lin Xin said,

"Big brother Ley, I like you!"

Coleman City, Lin Xin's residence.

"Interesting! Interesting! This is too interesting! " Yao Gu looked at the opened cellar in front of him and excitedly said to Whitey, who brought him here, "It's really too interesting! Following you is indeed not the wrong choice. You can always bring me joy when I feel bored. "Well, do you want to follow me around and make sure that your life in the future will definitely be more interesting than following those lumps of wood?"

"There's no need, milord," Little White replied with a deadpan expression.

"No matter what, you have to follow me now." Demon Gu did not mind Lil 'White's refusal. He walked up to Lil' White and continued, "I believe you will change your mind!"

He ignored Lil 'White's expression as he spoke. Then, he walked towards the door and said,

"Let me see what kind of fun that little mouse can bring me!"

Coleman City, at the foot of the Lin Family's back mountain.

After much difficulty, Linley finally reached the base of the mountain of the Lin Clan. At the base of the mountain, however, he saw a sea of trees, covered with wounds.

"Father!" Linley hurriedly hastened his steps, arriving in front of that sea of trees. He pulled that sea of trees to one side, allowing him to lean against a giant boulder.

Hearing Linley's call, Lin Hai opened his eyes in exhaustion. Looking at Linley in front of him, he said in a gratified voice, "It's good that you're fine …" It's good that you're fine … "It's good that you're fine …"

"Father, I …" Seeing his father covered in wounds, and thinking back to how Lin Xin had risked her life to protect him, Linley couldn't help but feel choked with sobs and not be able to say a single word.

"It's okay, it's okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay." Lin Hai reached out his hand to caress his son's hair as he consoled him, "Let's go. We'll pass through this mountain and leave this place."

"En!" Linley wiped the tears from his face with one hand, then put Lin Hai's hand on his shoulder. He wanted to lift his father. "Let's go together."

"Found you! "Little mouse."

A sudden voice rang out in Linley's ears, causing him to fall to the ground in fright, and even his father fell to the ground.

Linley stiffly turned around, only to see a head of the Lin clan leader who had died with grievances. He was so frightened that his butt was forced backwards, only stopping after knocking against a giant boulder behind him.

"What an interesting reaction! It was not in vain that I chopped off his head. " Demon Ancient shook the head of the Lin Family Patriarch in his hand, then casually threw it to the side, "Come, come, stand up and continue to run. Let me see what other fun you can bring me."

Linley looked at the black-robed figures who were rushing towards him from behind, then looked at his father, who had fallen to the ground. Gritting his teeth, Linley walked to his father's side, once more lifting him up.

"No need, run away alone!" Lin Hai took hold of Linley's hand and shook his head. "You won't be able to escape if you take me with you." You might be the last of the Lin Clan's bloodline now, so you should continue to live well! "

Linley could feel the power his father was frantically channeling into him. His mouth opened and closed, and he wanted to say something, but no words came out. Biting his lower lip, he ran towards the back of the mountain without looking back.

"That's right, that's right. That's what makes it interesting." "Those who are about to die should look like those who are about to die. If not, then just lie down in the corner and wait for death. What is the meaning of running over here to block my path of pleasure?"

Lin Hai did not pay any attention to Demon Gu, and instead raised his head towards the sky and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Didn't you want my life? I'm right here, come and get it! "

"Tsk, what a disappointment. I actually bumped into a lunatic." Demon Gu spat and looked at Lin Hai in disgust, "Little White, settle him for me. I don't want to be an eyesore."

"Yes, milord." Little White stepped forward and condensed its battle qi into the sword in its hand before chopping at Lin Hai.

"Rest in peace."
