Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 193 Water Ghost (6)

Three days later, Lin Yu, who was meditating, was awakened by the sudden influx of merit.

"Sixth Brother, check the merit progress bar."

"Alright, wow! Host, you've made a killing! You've got ten merit points this time!"

Lin Yu opened his eyes, full of curiosity as to why Heaven was so generous this time.

"what happened?"

"Let me check. Hey, host, do you know the identity of the woman who dumped the corpse that you encountered the other day?"

"Just say it straight, don't keep me in suspense."

"She's a fraudster, a fraudster in the industrial park. She's got a lot of lives on her hands. She's involved in the white flour business, human trafficking, and even organ trafficking."

Lin Yu touched his chin and asked, "She's such a big fish, and she showed up in the country so openly. Are you sure no one noticed her?"

"Well, this person had plastic surgery, and she also faked her identity. She's doing a pretty good job of hiding it, but there's a wanted poster for her. Although she's not a high-ranking official, she's managed to get to the mid-level boss position because of her ruthlessness. And because she's pretty, people tend to trust her. This time, she was discovered by her new boyfriend, who tried to persuade her to turn herself in and call the police, but she feigned agreement and stabbed him when he wasn't paying attention."

"Why do I feel like something is not right? Although the voice sounds like a woman, when I thought about it carefully, she gave me the feeling of a shemale. It doesn't seem natural." Lin Yu frowned.

"Oh! Host, you guessed it right! Let me put it this way, his plastic surgery was done in Sawadee Ka, which is pretty good. After all, he also had a sex change midway through, so it's considered a success to be like that. And his body shape and voice are naturally feminine."

"I see. So the merit earned means there's progress on this matter?"

"Yeah. They say they're going to completely eradicate this type of crime. There will be merits to be earned later."

Hearing that there would be more merit points to be gained later, Lin Yucai laughed. He said it shouldn't be just ten points. He was one step closer to escaping his water ghost identity. The future was promising!

When Lin Yu was happy, he thought about going out for a walk and trying his luck. Anyway, he could go anywhere the river flowed through.

"Sir, where are you going?" Rukawa asked.

"Huh? You're home! I'm going out for a stroll, going to the beach, and catching a hairy crab."

Liuchuan intuitively sensed Lin Yu's good mood and said, "Sir, do you need me to accompany you?"

"You want to go too?"

"Yeah. I want to see dolphins." Rukawa scratched his head when talking about this. When Lin Yu was asleep before, even though they knew that the river led directly to the sea, they didn't dare to go there casually. This time, it was a rare opportunity for them to follow him, so they wanted to see the ocean that people talked about!

"I see. Go get everyone and let's go together. Forget it, why not just move our cave there as well? Let's live somewhere else."

"Yes, I'll call them back right away." Rukawa ran out excitedly to inform the other dolls.

Lin Yu waved his hand and put the cave away. As for the spirit gathering array here, he did not move it, as a gift left for this place.

After searching for a while, Lao Liu found a picturesque open space on the seabed. Lin Yu placed his cave there and used nearby materials to re-establish the spirit gathering formation, which was five times larger than the formation in Xiling River.

As a result, this place has become a favorite place for marine life, and colorful marine creatures often swim around and make their homes nearby.

Rukawa and his friends couldn't wait to chase the dolphins and ran away without a trace.

Lin Yu himself sat on the rocks, feeling the sea breeze. The evening breeze was gentle, slightly salty, carrying the warmth of the sunset and the rhythm of the tide.

I thought the peaceful time would last until nightfall, but unexpectedly a lonely figure appeared on the beach, thin and helpless, revealing endless sadness from a distance.

Lin Yu originally thought that he was just another young man who came to relax and enjoy the sea breeze, but unexpectedly, the child walked step by step from the beach to the sea, and the wind made his white shirt rustle.

"Are you trying to commit suicide?" Lin Yu quickly stood up, floated over and pushed the man back onto the beach.

The young man was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was just because of the strong sea breeze. He lowered his head and continued to walk towards the sea. A tear ran across his face, and his face was full of despair and loneliness.

Lin Yu had to show up: "Hey? What's wrong with you, young man? I pushed you back, why are you running into the sea?"

The young man suddenly saw the man in ancient costume appearing out of thin air in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Are you a god? Don't stop me, thank you."

Lin Yu frowned: "Are you seeking death? Why? You look like you are only seventeen or eighteen years old."

"There's no reason, I just have nowhere to go." The young man didn't want to say much, and he didn't know where to start. He had suffered too much malicious abuse along the way.

Lin Yu didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Young man, do you want to see the underwater world?"

The boy raised his head and tilted it with a confused look: "Huh?"

Without any explanation, Lin Yu wrapped the person in bubbles and took him into the ocean.

This shocked the young man, and he pinched himself hard.

"Hiss... isn't this an illusion? You... you really are a god?"

"If you think so, then so be it. Some people used to call me the River God."

The young man was surprised and asked, "But this is the sea, how can there be a river god?"

"Oh, I moved."

The young man's mouth twitched: "This... is this also possible?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. As long as you think about it, there's always a way."

"Really? But I tried very hard but there was no way." The boy's mood suddenly dropped again.

"Then forget it. Now I invite you to explore the underwater world. Young man, you are actually very brave. Aren't you afraid that I am a ghost?"

"No, sometimes people are scarier than ghosts." There was a slight bitterness on the young man's lips.

"Okay, let's see the scenery and the sea..."

As the bubble slowly sank, the world before the boy's eyes gradually transformed from a simple beach to a vibrant underwater world. The vibrant coral reefs, freely swimming schools of tropical fish, giant sea turtles, and graceful dolphins—all of this beauty was beyond his expectations, shining a ray of light into his previously dark world.

"How beautiful. Returning to the sea is a kind of destination, isn't it?" the boy sighed. "If only I could be like the fish in the sea..."

"Are you stupid? The ocean is free, but it also has its own rules. All creatures are struggling to survive. I'm not letting you see the ocean to commit suicide. Besides, the water is too cold, not suitable for you."

"My Lord God, but the human world is even colder!"

Lin Yu brought the man to Qianyuan Pavilion and asked, "Then tell me the reason. What should I do if I feel so wronged?" He touched the boy's head and looked at him softly.

The seawater was icy cold, but the boy felt a hint of warmth from Lin Yu's palm, which made his broken heart collapse again. Big tears slid down his cheeks.

"I just want to find my biological parents. I want a home, a mom and dad who love me. Why do they treat me like this? Why? They can choose not to acknowledge me, why do they slander me? What have I done wrong? If they don't want me, why did they bring me into this world and then abandon me? Everyone is scolding me. My life is as fragile as paper, it's all not worth it... It's better to just leave like this with a clean slate!"

Lin Yu felt a little sad and upset, and he just listened quietly to the boy telling all his experiences from childhood to the present.

The more he listened, the more familiar it felt to Lin Yu. It seemed as if, before his time travel, someone had experienced something quite similar, but sadly, that child ultimately returned to the sea. It wasn't just the actions of his biological parents, but also the cyberbullying and self-righteous rhetoric of people who didn't know the truth that ultimately cost a life.

"Young man, you're not wrong! The ones who are wrong are those who hurt you. You're great, kind, and amazing. I don't know how to persuade you, but I believe those who hurt you will get their comeuppance. There are still people in this world who care about you and love you. Wouldn't it be a pity if you left like this? Look at the vastness of the ocean. I envy their freedom..."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and his eyes became softer. He knew that at this moment, any words would be pale, but he had to try to do something.

"People are bound by fate, even between parents and friends. Perhaps this is your lesson in this world: joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, loves and separations, resentments and hatreds. Why bother with the words of those who have nothing to do with you? Once you're online, you can't see or hear them. Perhaps what I'm saying is a bit easy. Honestly, I'm not very good at comforting people. How about I take you to the deep sea, and then to the heavens to see the vast expanse of the universe? Okay?"

Lin Yu held out his hand, waiting for the boy's decision. Seeing that he was hesitant, he grabbed him and ran towards the deep sea without saying a word.

Lin Yu spent two days taking the boy on a whirlwind adventure, exploring the skies and the sea. However, the next morning, the beach was already crowded with people anxiously searching for the boy. Public opinion was once again turning against him.
