Chapter 21 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
The next day, Lin Yu did not go to the police station, but instead waited quietly at Su Wan's house for Nightingale's arrival.
Su Wan was still fast asleep beside him, clearly exhausted.
At this moment, her breathing was even and deep, her cheeks still flushed, and one hand was unconsciously resting on Lin Yu's waist.
Lin Yu gently moved her hand away, looked at the time on the clock, and felt that Nightingale was about to arrive.
He walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the rooftop of the four-story old building across the street.
In the morning light, the rooftop was empty, with only a few grayish mutated birds hopping around the edge.
After washing up, Lin Yu changed into a set of dark casual clothes that were easy to move in.
He didn't wake Su Wan, but went to another room and took out the unactivated Love-Devouring Sword.
If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Su Wan didn't have time to go last night, so Lin Yu can't let her find out that there are two Love-Devouring Swords.
As for the current one, Lin Yu will activate it during the next rollback, and then it can be used by Anna or Su Xiaoya.
Lin Yu did not intend to contain the other Crimson Dragon Crystal, mainly because the containment conditions were too stringent.
Although you don't have to gamble your life like a gambler using a revolver, you do need to sacrifice your life.
Lin Yu never defined himself as a good person, but sacrificing one's life was too troublesome.
Lin Yu didn't need to do that, so he simply used it to increase the number of rollbacks.
The strange creature in Sequence Six directly gave Lin Yu ten more chances to rewind, which wasn't bad.
Without much thought, Lin Yu went around to the back of the apartment building and easily climbed to the roof of the old building across the street.
The morning breeze was cool, so he found a shady corner to sit down.
Nightingale hasn't arrived yet, but Lin Yu estimates she'll be here soon.
Ten minutes later—
The air on the rooftop distorted slightly, like ink dripping into clear water, and a slender figure in a tight black leather outfit silently emerged from the shadows.
As soon as Nightingale appeared, she habitually crouched down and pulled out a small, high-powered telescope from her tactical bag at her side.
The movements were fluid and professional; bending over, lifting the hips, and precisely aiming the gaze at the window of Su Wan's apartment across the street.
Not far away, Lin Yu watched this scene quietly.
Since the nightingale had exposed its back to the enemy, he wouldn't hold back.
Then he pulled out a thick, black... revolver.
At this moment, Nightingale was completely focused on her surveillance mission and did not notice Lin Yu approaching her.
Nightingale trembled violently when Lin Yu pressed the gun barrel against her slender waist, her pupils contracting in terror.
"Good morning, Miss Assassin," Lin Yu whispered in Nightingale's ear.
As a top-tier assassin of Sequence 8, Nightingale did not turn around in this situation. Instead, she slammed her left elbow, which was holding the binoculars, back, attempting to strike Lin Yu's ribs.
At the same time, the dagger in his right hand was drawn and slashed backward!
However, all the attempts failed.
Lin Yu's hand gripped Nightingale's wrist like an iron clamp, the force so great that she felt her wrist bones were about to be crushed.
Her elbow, which was aimed at Lin Yu's ribs, was easily deflected by Lin Yu.
"What?!" Nightingale was utterly shocked.
She didn't understand how Lin Yu had discovered her, as if he knew she was coming.
What pained Nightingale the most was that she hadn't even seen what Lin Yu looked like before she was inexplicably restrained.
"Who are you?!" Nightingale's eyes flashed with panic as her skin pressed tightly against the man behind her, making her feel extremely humiliated.
"Nightingale," Lin Yu called out her code name.
Nightingale froze again: "How did he know my code name?!"
That's impossible! My true identity is top secret even to Chen Tianxiong!
Lin Yu reached out and pinched Nightingale's chin, forcing her to raise her head.
"It doesn't feel good to have your plan fail, does it? You're going to be a prisoner, Miss Assassin," Lin Yu whispered in Nightingale's ear.
"Kill me if you're going to! Enough with the nonsense!"
"Kill you?" Lin Yu's lips curled slightly.
Last time, I chose to kill Nightingale because I lacked the strength, but in reality, her value as a living person was much greater than her value as a dead one.
For example, to cultivate them into right-hand men, or to use them as sluts.
"Killing you would be too wasteful."
Lin Yu's gaze swept unabashedly over Nightingale's voluptuous figure, outlined by her tight leather outfit.
Although she couldn't see Lin Yu, Nightingale guessed that he was watching her, and a sense of humiliation welled up inside her, causing her body to tremble slightly.
"Bastard, kill me!"
Lin Yu did not answer Nightingale. He released his hand from her chin and instead grabbed one of her shoulders.
With his other hand, he grabbed her slender waist and suddenly tightened his grip!
"what!"
Nightingale cried out in surprise as Lin Yu lifted her up uncontrollably and slammed her heavily against the concrete railing at the edge of the rooftop!
Her upper body was bent forward under the pressure, her lower abdomen pressed against the edge of the railing, and her chest squeezed against the railing, forming an extremely passive and humiliating posture.
The legs must be slightly apart to maintain balance.
"Let me go! You bastard!" Nightingale struggled fiercely, grabbing Lin Yu with both hands and kicking wildly backward with her long legs.
But Lin Yu was too strong. Her struggles only caused her body to rub against the rough cement railing, bringing waves of pain and an even stronger sense of humiliation.
"Don't rush, Miss Assassin."
Lin Yu pinned Nightingale's hands behind her back and leaned down to press himself against her back.
The scorching body heat and powerful masculine scent enveloped Nightingale, forcing her to tense her legs.
"Since you have the audacity to spy on me—"
You should be prepared to accept the punishment if you get caught, right?
Lin Yu deliberately emphasized the word "punishment".
Nightingale bit her lower lip, a sense of foreboding washing over her.
"No...you dare! Master Chen won't let you get away with this!"
Hmm~~!
Before she could finish speaking, her words turned into a short cry of pain.
"Stop! You bastard! I'm going to kill you! I promise..."
The nightingale’s voice became shrill with humiliation and anger, and she struggled more fiercely, but it was all in vain.
Lin Yu ignored her curses; his movements continued without pause, exuding an undeniable force.
One hand was still holding her arms behind her back.
Immediately afterwards...
"Ugh—!!!"
Nightingale's curses and threats were instantly choked back, turning into a muffled groan that had lost its tone.
Her body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and then froze.
"Oh ho..."
"Guh, kill me!"
Lin Yu's eyes were icy as he pinched Nightingale's nose to make her lift her head.
The nightingale immediately stuck out its tongue, revealing its ahoge (a slang term for a ...
"Enjoy yourself, Miss Assassin."
You're really being hypocritical, clearly...
hehe..."
"Damn it, damn it! Trash! Bedbug!" After Lin Yu's reminder, Nightingale suppressed her anger and showed a look of disgust as if she were looking at trash.
"Yes, that's the expression. It's quite amusing, Miss Nightingale."
