Chapter 452 Lin Yu, what are you doing?
Chapter 452 Lin Yu, what are you doing?
Xue Yi sighed. She looked at Jackdaw and felt helpless.
She knew that Jackdaw might have her own difficulties, and perhaps she had her own reasons for not wanting to speak them out.
"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. The most important thing for us now is to find the body. We can talk about other things later." Xue Yi said. She temporarily put aside her doubts and decided to focus on solving the current problem first.
Only by finding the body as soon as possible can everything return to normal, and only then will we have the opportunity to find out what the Jackdaw has been hiding.
Jackdaw breathed a sigh of relief, she felt like she had escaped a disaster.
"Well, sister, let's do it quickly." She said quickly, trying to change the subject as soon as possible and free herself from this tense atmosphere.
She took the lead and walked forward in a hurry, wanting to escape from this place that made her feel guilty as soon as possible.
Xue Yi followed behind her, her eyes still falling on Jackdaw from time to time. Although the doubts in her heart were temporarily suppressed, they always pierced her heart like a thorn.
Jackdaw must be hiding something from her, and this secret may have an unexpected impact on their next actions.
But at this moment, she could only choose to trust Jackdaw temporarily and work together to find clues to the body.
As they move forward, Jackdaw's heart is full of contradictions and struggles. She doesn't know how long her concealment can last, nor does she know how she will face Xue Yi and Juuuji when the truth is finally revealed.
But for the promise she firmly believed in and for her sister's "freedom", she had no choice but to continue on this road full of lies and dangers. Even if there was darkness ahead, she had no choice but to turn back.
...
The two walked towards the Prison together. The atmosphere was dull and depressing along the way. Jackdaw kept his head down and walked hurriedly.
Although Xue Yi was outwardly focused on the task of finding the body, his inner doubts about Jackdaw had not dissipated.
Finally, when they were about to reach the Prison of Ghost, Xue Yi couldn't help but speak again, "Jackdaw, I know you must be hiding something from me. We are sisters. You can tell me any difficulties or secrets you have. Maybe I can help you solve them." There was a hint of earnestness in Xue Yi's tone. She sincerely hoped that Jackdaw could be honest with her.
"Sister, I really don't know what to say. This matter is very complicated."
"Jackdaw, no matter what it is, we can face it together. If you keep it from me like this, I will be even more worried."
There was a fierce struggle going on within the Jackdaw.
But she knew she couldn't go on like this, yet she was afraid that she would lose Xue Yi's trust if she told the truth.
"Sister, actually it was Lin Yu. He said he has a way to free you from the shackles of returning to the living and gain true freedom. He asked me to help him keep it a secret." Jackdaw plucked up the courage to tell part of the truth. Her eyes were full of uneasiness as she waited for Xue Yi's reaction.
After hearing this, Xue Yi's expression changed slightly. "Resurrection is my way of maintaining my life and strength. Although there are constraints, it is not something that can be easily broken off. Besides, what did you do for him? Does it have anything to do with the body?"
"Yes...your body is in Lin Yu's hands." Jackdaw's voice trembled slightly. She almost didn't dare to look at Xue Yi's expression at the moment. She knew very well what her words meant. It was a huge shock to her sister and a severe test of the trust between them.
Xue Yi's body shook slightly, her lips moved, but she couldn't speak for a while.
After a long while, she finally found her voice with difficulty, "Jackdaw, how could you...why did he do this? What on earth did you do?"
She couldn't understand why Jackdaw was involved in such a thing, and she couldn't accept that her body was in Lin Yu's hands.
"Sister, I really just want you to be free. Lin Yu said he has a way. I haven't done anything to hurt you, nor have I thought about betraying the Ten Kings Division. I just really want you to be able to break free from the shackles of returning to the world." Jackdaw explained eagerly. She tried to make Xue Yi understand her original intention, even though she knew that her actions had caused irreversible consequences.
"Jackdaw, you are too confused. We are the judges of the Ten Kings Division. Our duty and mission is to maintain order and protect the safety of the Immortal Boat. How can you easily take my body..."
Xue Yi didn't dare to think about what Lin Yu would do to her body.
Although his body is a puppet, his functions are the same as those of a normal person.
Various possible scenarios involuntarily emerged in Xue Yi's mind, and each one made her shudder.
She was worried that Lin Yu would use her body to perform some activities and damage her internal organs.
Every time I see Lin Yu, I will notice that the girl next to Lin Yu is a different person.
Just like before, next to Lin Yu was someone she had never seen before.
Xue Yi felt increasingly confused and uneasy about Lin Yu's behavior.
After hearing Jackdaw say that Lin Yu took her body away, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Lin Yu was?
What was his purpose in approaching Jackdaw and taking his body? Was it simply to help Jackdaw free himself from the shackles of returning to the living, or was there a deeper purpose behind it?
"Sister, I believe Lin Yu will not do anything excessive to your body." Jackdaw said anxiously, her eyes revealing a complex emotion of panic and inexplicable trust in Lin Yu.
She tried to convince Xue Yi, and also seemed to be trying to convince herself, hoping that the person she trusted would not do anything to hurt her sister.
"Jackdaw, you can't assume that he won't do bad things just because you believe him. We know too little about him. Although he is from the Star Train, there are always different girls around him. This is very suspicious. We have no idea what his purpose is."
Xue Yi fell into deep thought again, trying hard to sort out her limited understanding of Lin Yu.
Every time I see Lin Yu, there always seems to be something unpredictable hidden under his seemingly gentle appearance.
The constantly changing girls around him made Xue Yi feel that his behavior patterns were full of uncertainty.
"It seems that the Snow Judge doesn't trust me at all."
At this time, a voice came from behind Jackdaw and Snowcoat.
The two were startled and turned their heads quickly, and saw Lin Yu's figure.
He stood there calmly with a faint smile on his lips, and behind him were Ruan Mei and Topa.
Ruan Mei looked indifferent, while Topa looked at the internal structure of the prison with curiosity.
"Mr. Lin Yu? Why are you here?" Xue Yi stared at Lin Yu and asked, her eyes full of vigilance.
Jackdaw was also surprised. She looked at Lin Yu, hoping that Lin Yu could give a reasonable explanation to prove that she had not misjudged him. "Lin Yu, you..." Jackdaw was about to ask, but didn't know where to start.
Lin Yu took a few steps forward, spread his hands, and acted innocently. "Snow Judge, Jackdaw, don't be so nervous. I just happened to pass by and heard your interesting conversation."
"Just passing by? My body is in your hands, but you are here now. What do you want to do?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly, revealing a hurt expression, "Judge Xue Yi, you misunderstood me. I took your body to help you get rid of the shackles of returning to the world, but the reason can't be explained in a few words, and I don't have any ill intentions." He looked at Jackdaw with a hint of blame in his eyes, "Jackdaw, didn't you explain it clearly to Xue Yi?"
Jackdaw opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xue Yi, "Explain? You let Jackdaw hide the secret for you, which is unforgivable in itself. Now, either you hand over my body intact, or tell us your true purpose." Xue Yi took a step forward. She didn't want to listen to Lin Yu's perfunctory words anymore.
Lin Yu looked at Xue Yi in this state, it seemed that he could not communicate normally, "Hey... okay, I will return the body to you."
Lin Yu took a few steps forward.
Lin Yu suddenly attacked, and with one attack he instantly tore a big hole in Xue Yi's chest.
Jackdaw looked at Lin Yu's action in astonishment. Her eyes widened instantly, her mouth opened slightly, and her whole body seemed to be fixed in place.
"Lin...Yu, what...did you do?" Her voice trembled, full of shock and disbelief. She couldn't understand why Lin Yu would suddenly do such a thing. Her previous trust in Lin Yu collapsed in an instant, replaced by endless doubts and anger.
However, Lin Yu did not reply.
