Chapter 2 Maid
The cold darkness faded away.
Lin Yu stood in Su Wan's living room, the clock on the wall pointing to 9:37 p.m.
[Remaining rollback attempts: 3]
The virtual tooltip blinks at the edge of the field of view.
Lin Yu frowned slightly, staring at the words that appeared before him.
Death rollback?
A cheat code, classic, he understands that.
But what the heck is "Prologue: Awakening of Insects"? It sounds like the title of some kind of game. What the heck?
No! That's not how it is in Ga La Ge Mu.
No one gets assassinated right away.
Lin Yu shook his head; now was not the time to think about that.
Or should we first consider what to do next?
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and replayed the entire memory of his last death.
Su Wan's allure, the maid's assassination attempt...
And the most crucial point—
Chen Tianxiong will go to the martial arts school for seclusion on Wednesday night, carrying the Crimson Dragon Crystal with him.
It was clear that the maid had already suspected his relationship with Su Wan, and she went into the room to confirm it completely.
To prevent the maid from tipping him off, Lin Yu had to kill her; he absolutely could not allow the maid to kill him this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu did not go straight back to the bedroom, but went into the kitchen first.
My eyes quickly swept over the knife rack, spice bottles, refrigerator, cabinets...
He pulled a boning knife from the knife rack; its blade was long and slender, and the edge gleamed coldly.
I found a can of chili powder in the condiment section, poured some into my palm, wrapped it in kitchen paper, and stuffed it into my pocket.
He then went to the storage cabinet in the living room and pulled out a roll of electrical tape and a clothesline.
After doing all this, Lin Yu headed towards the bedroom.
When the door opened, Su Wan had just put on her bathrobe and was about to get out of bed.
Seeing Lin Yu enter, a charming smile appeared in her eyes:
"You're back so soon?"
"There's a car acting strangely downstairs." Lin Yu didn't respond to her comment, but instead said directly:
"A black sedan, license plate Jiang A·T3487, is a spare car in Chen Tianxiong's fleet. It has been parked for twenty minutes with the engine running."
Su Wan's smile froze on her face.
"you......"
"I'm a Level 3 agent, not blind." Lin Yu walked to the window and pulled back a corner of the curtain.
"Chen Tianxiong has begun to suspect you, so he sent people to keep an eye on you—"
Or rather, to silence them.
The air in the room seemed to freeze.
Su Wan stared at Lin Yu's retreating figure, her gaze shifting from alluring to scrutinizing:
"How did you know the license plate number?" she asked.
"Last Wednesday, Chen Tianxiong went to inspect the south of the city, and this car was in his convoy." Lin Yu turned to look at her:
"I was in charge of perimeter security and I noted down all the license plates...it's a professional habit."
Su Wan was silent for a few seconds, then her lips curled up slightly, her smile filled with appreciation.
"Lin Yu, you're more interesting than I thought," she said.
"So tell me, what should we do now?"
"Two paths." Lin Yu held up two fingers:
"First, even if you pack your things and run away now, there's a high chance you won't make it out of Jiangcheng."
second......"
Lin Yu paused.
"We've taken care of that guy downstairs."
Su Wan raised an eyebrow: "You and me? The other party is from Chen Tianxiong's private bodyguard..."
"So we need a plan." Lin Yu walked to the bedside and sat down, then pulled out the boning knife from his lower back.
The blade gleamed coldly under the light.
Su Wan looked at the knife, then at Lin Yu, her expression complex.
"You're a Level 3 agent, carrying this around?"
"It's quite easy to use," Lin Yu said calmly. "You always have to be prepared, right?"
Su Wan stared at Lin Yu for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid? This is going against Chen Tianxiong."
"That woman has already seen me. If we let her go back alive, Chen Tianxiong will know about your relationship with me tomorrow."
"At that point, I'll still be doomed."
Lin Yu paused, then added, "So I'm not helping you, I'm saving myself."
Su Wan nodded.
"Okay, then tell me, how do you plan to solve this?"
Lin Yu leaned closer to her and whispered a few words.
Su Wan's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"
"You'll know once you try it."
The two acted swiftly.
Su Wan lay back down on the bed, while Lin Yu hid in the closet, leaving the door ajar.
Five minutes later, the knocking sounded precisely on time.
"Madam, I have prepared ginseng tea for you."
Su Wan put on her bathrobe and went barefoot to open the door.
The door opened.
The maid kept her head down, carrying a tray.
Everything is the same as last time.
Just as the maid looked up, Su Wan suddenly pointed behind her and exclaimed, "Who?!"
The maid instinctively turned around.
In that split second, the wardrobe door suddenly opened!
Lin Yu pounced like a cheetah!
But instead of attacking the maid directly, he rushed towards the light switch by the wall.
Snapped!
The room was plunged into darkness.
"What—" The maid's voice abruptly stopped.
Because she felt a pungent powder hitting her face!
Chili powder!
The maid's eyes stung instantly, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
She instinctively raised her hand to rub her eyes, but the tray had already slipped from her grasp.
The tray landed, and a dark blue dagger shot out.
In the darkness, Lin Yu moved.
He precisely looped the clothesline around the maid's neck, then pulled hard!
The maid was being strangled and desperately tried to grab the rope around her neck with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu slashed his right hand into a knife shape and struck the pressure point on the back of her neck!
The maid let out a muffled groan and her body went limp.
Lin Yu didn't stop. He used his knee to press against the maid's back, quickly tied her hands, and then taped her mouth shut.
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
Clean and neat.
Snapped.
The lights were turned back on.
Su Wan stood beside the switch, staring in disbelief at everything.
The crisis was resolved so quickly that she didn't have time to react.
Lin Yu stood up and dusted off his hands.
"Resolved."
Su Wan opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she only managed to utter, "You...you're so fast!"
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "I'm fast? I'll let you see how fast I am in a bit."
As Lin Yu spoke, he squatted down and began searching the maid's body.
They then searched the maid and found a communicator, an ID card, a spare dagger, and several small bottles—presumably poison or antidote.
Su Wan leaned closer, intending to check on the maid's condition, but at that moment, Lin Yu held a boning razor to her neck:
"Now, it's your turn to tell me the truth."
"Miss Su Wan, what exactly is your purpose in seducing me?"
