Chapter 188 Who says I don't have someone I like?
Judging from An Yiming's devastated expression, it's clear he wasn't paying attention in class.
Negative Ratings.
Lin Sui thought for a moment and still felt a pang of sympathy for him.
This made her nostalgic for the day when Si Xingran was Ji Jie.
Clearly, Li Ye and the others also remembered how alluring Sister Ji had been that day, and they all cast nostalgic glances at Sister Ji herself.
Si Ji Jie Xing Ran: "..." Thank you, he also remembered his defiled forehead.
Si Xingran gritted his teeth fiercely.
But when his gaze fell on An Yiming, a strange sense of pleasure welled up in his heart.
It's okay, it's okay, he's not the only one who's unlucky anyway.
[What does this mean? The current An Yiming isn't An Yiming anymore; he's using someone else's ex-boyfriend's face?]
There's no such thing as an ex-boyfriend, only a murderer conjured from half an eel!
[Hahaha, I feel a bit sorry for this guy. Not only does he have to be someone else's scapegoat, but he's also forced into homosexuality. What a huge sacrifice!]
So, which guest is this half-eel?
[Seriously? You can't see it when it's so obvious? Looks like your brain's worth a billion, completely undeveloped, incredibly valuable.]
Hehe, my mom often says that too~
An Yiming stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly jumped up: "No! I don't believe it!"
"Fang Lu... Fang Lu is such a beautiful, delicate girl, how could she possibly be a grown man?!"
"She, she must be hiding, yes, she must be!"
An Yiming's eyes darted around as he spoke, then he went berserk, yanking off the covers and the bed: "Fang Lu! Fang Lu, you get out here!"
This person really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
Lin Sui shook his head and tossed out an exorcism talisman.
The talisman instantly stuck to "An Yiming's" body, and "An Yiming" immediately cried out in pain, releasing the "hand" that was strangling Tan Huizhen's neck.
Tan Huizhen quickly seized the opportunity to run towards Lin Sui.
If it weren't for the five mountains of varying heights blocking her way, she would have wanted to hide right behind Lin Sui.
When I looked back, the other "An Yiming" was gone.
Instead, Fang Lu, who was outstanding in appearance but had virtually no presence, took her place.
She seemed to have a very gentle personality, and after entering the haunted building, she kept hiding behind An Yiming, as if she was extremely dependent on him.
Tan Huizhen suddenly realized: "No wonder her boyfriend was so attentive to He Huanni before, but she wasn't jealous at all."
Then she thought about how the two of them were always whispering sweet nothings in the corner, and from what she saw, Fang Lu had kissed An Yiming's face more than once.
However, when An Yiming tries to kiss her, she shyly avoids him.
An Yiming still thought she was playing hard to get, and the two of them started a new round of flirting.
"Ugh~" Tan Huizhen suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help but rub her arms.
The facts were right in front of him, and even if An Yiming didn't want to believe it, he was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Lin Sui made a hand seal to activate the talisman.
"Ah!" Another wave of burning sensation struck, and Fang Lu's figure shifted once more.
He eventually became a tall and thin young man.
Although he wasn't as handsome as An Yiming, he was still fair-skinned and had a delicate appearance.
An Yiming glared at him, his breathing rapid and his eyes bloodshot with anger.
He couldn't hold back any longer, clenched his fist, and swung it at that face: "Fuck your mother!"
Unfortunately, no matter what, a man is still half-demon.
Her arms twisted and turned into an eel, easily wrapping around his swinging fist and tightening their grip little by little.
An Yiming's face contorted in pain.
"You think you can hit me? What right do you have to hit me?"
The man sneered: "You think you're so great just because I'm pretty, but you don't know your own worth. You think you're something special just because you're a student at Peking University. Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see how ugly you are before you dare to pursue me?"
With that, he waved his hand.
As the snake molts, An Yiming's body shrinks instantly, from 1.8 meters to 1.65 meters.
His handsome face became pockmarked and his features became flat.
"Tch, no wonder people believe everything they say, they're just after that face, aren't they?" Lu Xiang scoffed.
Lin Suishen agreed.
"No, no, this isn't me, it's not me..."
An Yiming hurriedly covered his face, and finally, unable to accept it, he ran out the door.
[Holy crap, isn't this my classmate? I always thought it was just someone with the same name.]
[He was also my high school classmate. I've disliked him for a long time. Just because he got good grades and was one of the school's top students, he always acted arrogant and looked down on everyone. He was so annoying!]
[He's also my neighbor. From what he said before, it seems he was blaming his family of origin? How could he have the nerve? His family is at least middle class, and his parents work themselves to the bone, scrimping and saving, just to satisfy his unreasonable high-spending demands. What right does he have to complain?]
That's because his parents spoiled him; they just didn't discipline him enough. He deserves it!
After dealing with An Yiming, the man looked up at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui nodded: "You look better this way, don't you, Mr. Lu Ran?"
Upon hearing this, Tangxi perked up her ears, her alarm bells ringing.
Then Lin Sui said, "But it's no use now. I'll be going to jail and getting shot when it gets light."
Tangxi exhaled and gripped Lin Sui's clothes even tighter.
Lu Ran's face darkened, his expression turning gloomy.
[Lu Ran? Wasn't there a comment earlier that mentioned someone she knew named Lu Ran? Could she be the girl the half-eel fell in love with at first sight?]
Holy crap! It's actually a pure love story?!
[As expected, being love-struck is a bad thing; look at the consequences.]
Whether someone is love-struck or not, Lin Sui doesn't care.
She simply stated the facts calmly: "If it weren't for that girl, you wouldn't have had to take this risk at all."
“You don’t have anyone you like, so of course you wouldn’t understand,” Lu Ran said coldly.
That girl was the only ray of light in his life.
She is gentle, generous, and her smile carries a touch of innocent charm, untouched by worldly concerns.
Every time he appeared in her convenience store, she would thoughtfully prepare a small gift for him.
When you're cold, there's hot milk tea; when you're hot, there's iced drink; when you're hungry, there are delicious meals; and when you're sleepy, you can sleep freely on her turf.
Those were some of the few good nights he could get.
She would listen quietly to his thoughts.
They will also encourage him to bravely do what he wants to do.
The time he spent with her was the most unforgettable memory of his life.
He just wanted to preserve this beautiful memory.
“But…” Lin Sui said softly, “she already has a fiancé.”
Lu Ran was stunned, his expression changing drastically: "Impossible!"
"Whether you believe it or not, she does have a fiancé, and you've met him, but you subconsciously pretended not to see him."
Lin Sui paused for a moment, then continued, "The reason she was so friendly to you is because you told her your name. Like the psychologist at her sister's school, she had never met you and thought you looked like Chang'an Yiming."
"And you once helped her sister through the difficulties of adolescence, so she is very grateful to you."
Lu Ran staggered, her face pale: "No, no, it can't be like this..."
He kept shaking his head, his body swaying precariously, as if he were about to shatter.
"Besides, I think you probably don't remember either."
Lin Sui continued, "The year you started kindergarten, a child from the senior class slashed your back with a knife. While your mother was arguing with the child, your father took a fancy to that child's father."
"So, taking advantage of his ability to change his identity and gender at will, he decisively abandoned you and your child, and vanished from the face of the earth."
"But in reality, he became a woman and became that man's mistress."
"Because of her husband's betrayal and absence, your mother eventually became paranoid and domineering, wanting to keep you firmly under her control."
Lin Sui looked at Lu Ran's blank and pale face and said calmly, "Of course, I'm not saying this to exonerate your mother, but just because I think you should know the whole truth."
"Similarly, you should also know how innocent the women who died at your hands were."
The only redeeming quality is that he always knocks the victim unconscious before poisoning them.
This causes the deceased to unknowingly become a newborn ghost.
Perhaps he felt guilty, or perhaps he saw these people as burdened with sin, or perhaps they simply didn't want to be haunted by ghosts.
In short, after killing people, he would specially ask someone to perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.
It can be considered as accumulating some good karma for myself.
It's better than sealing them away like Chen Jue did, preventing them from entering the underworld to be reincarnated.
As Lin Sui was pondering this, she suddenly heard Lu Ran ask in a hoarse voice, "Where is he?"
Lin Sui looked up and saw that his eyes were bloodshot and he was gritting his teeth: "Tell me where that monster is. I want to kill him! I want to kill him!"
“You can’t kill him,” Lin Sui said matter-of-factly. “And I won’t let you go.”
There are rewards for helping the police catch criminals.
Not much though.
But even a small fly is still meat.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me..." Lu Ran said gloomily, slowly raising his hands.
Then, the two arms twisted and turned into eels, growing longer and thicker.
Until it almost filled the entire living room.
There was a crackling sound.
It was the eel that knocked over the canopy bed, causing tables, chairs, and cabinets to be scattered all over the floor.
The eel was covered in black slime.
Wherever the venom passed, it sizzled and crackled, even corroding the iron-framed bed in an instant.
"No, I have megalophobia. Master Lin, can you please take him away quickly?"
Si Xingran was genuinely disgusted, but while rubbing her arms, she and Li Ye still stood in front of the line.
"A monkey is afraid of eels? King Gigi, you're no good." Lu Xiang mocked without restraint, flicking the whip in her hand.
Tangxi gripped the small glass bottle tightly, ready to throw it at any moment.
Yu Cinian stroked the horizontal sword in his hand: "It's just a half-demon, can I give it a try, squad leader?"
"It's best not to. His venom is very potent, making him unsuitable for close combat."
Lin Sui shook his head and casually set up a protective barrier: "It's nothing more than a death throes."
Yu Cinian had no choice but to give up with regret.
He narrowed his eyes.
It seems that learning esoteric arts is an urgent matter.
Tan Huizhen, who was trembling with fear, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, remembering something, she exclaimed, "Oh no! Li Jianping, Li Jianping is still lying there!"
These past few days, she and Li Jianping have gotten along the best, and the two have even developed a revolutionary friendship.
She estimated the distance and found it wasn't too far, so she gritted her teeth and decided to rush out and drag him over.
Seeing this, Lin Sui casually covered Li Jianping with another layer.
He Huanni wasn't so lucky.
She screamed and lunged at Xu Haize, trying to seek refuge.
But it was still a step too late.
A drop of venom splashed onto her leg, instantly corroding a hole in her thigh, and the hole, originally the size of a coin, seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
A stench, like rotting meat, filled the air.
"Ah! It hurts! Master Xu, save me!" He Huanni cried out for Xu Haize, both in pain and panic.
Thinking that this person was still useful, Xu Haize dragged her to a safe place with a cold face and took out a dagger that gleamed coldly.
He Huanni turned pale with fright: "What, what are you going to do?"
"Shut up if you don't want to die."
Without blinking, Xu Haize cleanly and efficiently ripped a large chunk of flesh from He Huanni's leg.
He Huanni's face was contorted in pain, and she couldn't even scream before her head lolled to the side and she fainted.
Lin Sui, who happened to witness this scene, quickly tugged at Tang Xi: "Tang Tang, look, isn't it beautiful?"
Over the years, although He Huanni has never done anything outrageous to Tang Xi, she always likes to flaunt the love she can't get to Tang Xi, and she also makes sarcastic remarks to Tang Xi's mother to sow discord between the two.
Even though Tangxi wasn't as easily bullied as a dough ball, she had suffered many times in secret.
But that doesn't stop Lin Sui from enjoying seeing her suffer.
Otherwise, why would she let Lu Ran go crazy? Did she think she had nothing better to do?
Lin Sui thought to herself as she crunched on the half-eaten melon in her hand.
Her eyes, usually dark and deep, seemed to be shining brightly as if burdened with unspoken worries, and for once, they held the innocent and playful charm that one would expect from an eighteen-year-old.
Tang Xi watched silently, and without Tang Xi's knowledge, her tense little face under the mask softened a bit.
She loosened her grip on Lin Sui's clothes and gently took Lin Sui's hand in hers.
His gaze fell on Lin Sui's face, and he nodded emphatically: "Good, it looks great!"
Meanwhile, disgusted by the eel, Si Xingran swallowed her incessant complaints.
Lu Xiang, who was waving her whip and eager to fight, stopped arguing with him.
Yu Cinian, who suffers from severe mysophobia, seems unable to smell the pervasive fishy odor.
Li Ye stared blankly at Lin Sui, lost in thought.
—Lin Suiming should be innocent and carefree like this.
At that moment, they had the same thought in perfect unison.
Just like Si Xingran's unfounded belief that Xiao Linsui was raised by him.
They also believed this without any reason.
Lin Sui, engrossed in munching on the melon, didn't notice anything amiss with them.
Seeing that everything was sizzling and smoking from the corrosive venom, Lu Ran also tried to take advantage of the chaos to turn into an eel and escape.
Lin Sui casually took out a disinfectant wipe from Yu Cinian's pocket, wiped her hands, and then made a hand seal.
The talisman that had been stuck to Lu Ran's body and hadn't fallen off at all burst out with golden light.
"Ah—" Lu Ran screamed in agony amidst the golden light.
The burly eel that had been wildly flailing about quickly retreated. When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Ran lay on the ground, charred black, barely alive.
Lin Sui lifted her foot and walked over.
She looked down at him for a moment, then abruptly answered her previous question.
Lin Sui: "Who said I don't have someone I like?"
