A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 4 Disposal

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

Do you have Ah Xiang's contact information? A private number, for example.

"Yes." Su Wan pulled an old cell phone from a drawer in her dressing table:

"I have backups of the contact information for all members of Chen Tianxiong's bodyguard."

Send her a message with the following content:

"At the West City Wharf, Warehouse No. 3, an urgent meeting is needed; it concerns Master Chen's safety."

Su Wan did as instructed.

After sending the message, Lin Yu woke Ah Xiang up, but did not remove the tape from her mouth.

"Listen." Lin Yu squatted down in front of Ah Xiang, his voice calm:

You now have two choices.

First, I'll sell you on the black market.

Fear flashed in Ah Xiang's eyes.

"Second..." Lin Yu continued:

"Do as I say and go to the West Wharf to meet someone."

After we meet, you can run away, leave Jiangcheng, and never come back.

Ah Xiang stared at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with struggle.

Lin Yu ripped the tape off her mouth.

"select."

"...I choose option two," Ah Xiang said hoarsely.

"Who do you want me to see?"

You'll know when you get there.

Lin Yu blindfolded her, led her downstairs, and stuffed her into the trunk of the black sedan.

Su Wan drove, and Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove towards the West Wharf.

On the way, Su Wan couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly do you want her to see?"

"A scapegoat," Lin Yu said.

"There's a wanted criminal at the dock named Scarface Liu. He takes on illegal jobs, and the police have been offering a reward for his capture."

We sent Ah Xiang to see Scarface Liu, and then..."

Lin Yu didn't finish his sentence, but Su Wan understood.

Using someone else to do the dirty work, framing someone else for the crime.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped near the dock.

Lin Yu pulled Ah Xiang out of the trunk and removed her blindfold.

"Warehouse number three is just ahead. Go inside and wait for ten minutes. If no one comes, you can leave."

Ah Xiang gritted her teeth and walked towards the warehouse.

Lin Yu and Su Wan observed from the shadows.

Five minutes later, sounds of fighting and gunfire came from inside the warehouse.

Ten minutes later, everything returned to calm.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, gestured to Su Wan to "wait a moment," and then peered into the warehouse through the crack in the door.

With the light streaming in through the window, you could see Scarface Liu lying face up in the warehouse, a dagger deeply embedded in his chest, his body twitching slightly, clearly on the verge of death.

Ah Xiang slumped down next to a pillar not far away, clutching her neck where blood was gushing out with one hand.

Scarface Liu's knife severed her carotid artery, but it was not immediately fatal, possibly due to insufficient force or a deviation in angle before death.

Ah Xiang's stab to Scarface Liu's heart was precise and deadly.

Neither of them was completely dead yet, but they were both close to death.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised. He gently pushed open the door and walked to Scarface Liu's side.

He crouched down, expressionless, gripped the dagger stuck in his chest, twisted his wrist hard, and then decisively pulled it out!

Scarface Liu's body convulsed violently for a moment, then became completely still, his last vestige of life extinguished.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu turned to Ah Xiang, who was standing next to the pillar.

Ah Xiang seemed to sense someone approaching. Her unfocused gaze struggled to focus, and when she saw Lin Yu, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Lin Yu knelt down in front of her and gently closed her eyes: "It's over, Ah Xiang. You've chosen this path and gone all the way."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yu's dagger flashed with a cold light, precisely slicing through the already fatal wound on Ah Xiang's neck, completely severing the remaining lifeline.

Ah Xiang's body suddenly stiffened, then collapsed limply, the light in her eyes completely extinguished.

Lin Yu stood up and cautiously looked around again to confirm that there were no other survivors or hidden threats in the warehouse.

He then walked to the door and gave Su Wan, who was in the shadows, a safe signal.

Su Wan strode in and saw the two corpses on the ground and the blood-dripping dagger in Lin Yu's hand. Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but gasp.

"Clean up the traces, then call the police."

Lin Yu walked to the side, tore off a relatively clean piece of tarpaulin, and carefully wiped the dagger and his hands.

"What about Chen Tianxiong..."

"It's not important that Ah Xiang is dead. What's important is where she died. That's enough to temporarily restrain Chen Tianxiong."

Su Wan looked at Lin Yu with a complicated expression.

"Lin Yu, are you really just a Level 3 agent?"

"I told you, that's what it says in the file. Okay, let's get to work."

The two quickly cleaned up the scene, erasing any traces that might point to them.

Of course, Lin Yu also took Ah Xiang's knife with him before he left.

Yeah, the main problem was that I forgot to turn off auto-pickup.

After all, it's a strange item of Sequence Nine, so Lin Yu decided to take a gamble.

Lin Yu then called the police using a public phone.

It would probably take at least half an hour for them to arrive. As an agent, Lin Yu knew their nature all too well.

......

It was already 1 a.m. when I got back to Su Wan's apartment.

Lin Yu stood by the living room window, looking at the quiet street outside.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Wan's voice came from behind.

She changed into a silk nightgown and came over carrying two cups of hot tea.

"I'm thinking about the next steps." Lin Yu took the teacup.

The warm liquid slid down my throat, slightly dispelling the chill of the night.

"Oh, right," Su Wan suddenly said, "Do you want to get a weird prop?"

"Yeah, everyone wants that."

Do you have a goal?

"Not at the moment." Lin Yu put down his teacup.

"But I need to acquire one as soon as possible, otherwise we won't even have a chance to escape in front of a Sequence 6 Extraordinary like Chen Tianxiong."

Su Wan was silent for a moment: "The black market might have some connections. However, the risk of accommodating strange items is very high."

The failure rate for items in Sequence 9 is also 30%.

If you contain items that are incompatible with your own nature, the backlash will be fatal.

"I know." Lin Yu looked out the window.

In the distance, searchlights on the isolation wall swept across the sky.

On the other side of the wall lies the Ninth Nature Reserve.

It is said that there is a complete system for cultivating extraordinary individuals there, a safe incubation ceremony, and high-level bizarre items to choose from.

But on this side of the wall, there is only the black market, plunder, and gambling with one's life for that 70% chance of success.

"Get some rest," Su Wan said. "You have to go to the police station tomorrow, so don't give yourself away."

She turned and walked towards the bedroom, stopping at the doorway: "Lin Yu."

"Um?"

"Thank you," Su Wan said softly. "Thank you... for not dying."

After saying that, she closed the door, leaving Lin Yu with her slender back view.

Lin Yu smiled slightly; he had already died once.

Of course, I can die three more times now.

However, Lin Yu guessed that the number of rollbacks should be able to increase, but he didn't know what the conditions would be.

Strange artifacts? Becoming an extraordinary being?

I didn't think much of it.

Lin Yu stared at Su Wan for two seconds.

They followed immediately.

Just as Su Wan was about to close the door, Lin Yu pulled her into his arms.

"Shall we have a go?"

As Lin Yu spoke, he stroked Su Wan's slender waist with his palm.

Through the thin fabric, you could clearly feel her soft skin.

Su Wan took a soft breath and instinctively snuggled closer to Lin Yu.

As Lin Yu embraced her, the smooth silk of her long, slit dress slid open with his strength.

A long, straight leg was then revealed without reservation.

Her skin was dazzlingly white in the dim light.

"Ugh~"

Su Wan let out a soft moan, tilting her head back slightly to reveal the delicate lines of her neck:

"You brat~ You... don't... as soon as you get back..."

Before Su Wan could finish speaking, Lin Yu tightened his grip on her waist, pressing her even closer to him.

"Wait a moment..."

Lin Yu chuckled softly, and instead of stopping, he lifted Su Wan off the ground by her hips and legs.

"I can't wait."

Su Wan stopped talking, but simply raised her arm and softly hooked it around Lin Yu's neck.

They silently acquiesced to everything that followed.
