Chapter 293: CH 159.1

Yu Ying was very enthusiastic, and after they left the restroom, she showed Lin Xinghe around the office building.

This office building had thirty-two floors. Yu Ying worked on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors. Although it was almost midnight, most of the people in her company still worked overtime.

When Yu Ying led Lin Xinghe by them, they didn’t even look up.

Lin Xinghe said, “Your colleagues are quite dedicated.”

Yu Ying said, “They have no choice. They need to make a living, and the boss is black-hearted. We work five days a week with three days of mandatory overtime, and on those days, we can’t go home because the devil appears at ten o’clock on the dot…”

Lin Xinghe sympathized, “That sounds difficult……”

Yu Ying replied, “Yes, so now young people are very anxious ……” she lowered her voice to Lin Xinghe’s ear and said, “Fortunately I am bald, otherwise I would lose so much hair … …”

Lin Xinghe looked down at the NPCs at their workstations.

They all showed the same expressions—tired, anxious, depressed, irritable, and overall negative.

Lin Xinghe did not move a muscle and glanced at Yu Ying.

Compared to these gray NPCs, Yu Ying was a young maiden, vivid and shining, and she had no reaction to the taboos of this world—Lin Xinghe, bald head, hair.

Suddenly, Yu Ying took Lin Xinghe’s arm and said, smiling, “Master, do you want to rest? The devil will not leave until five o’clock in the morning. There are still six hours until then, and I have an inflatable single bed, pillows, and small blankets.” Thinking of something, she added, “If I provide a comfortable rest environment, will this help my test score?”

Lin Xinghe gave her a deep look and said, “Yes.”

Yu Ying said happily, “Master is the best!”

Lin Xinghe took her phone to search for information about this world while sprawled on Yu Ying’s inflatable bed.

She searched Lin Xinghe once more.

After a few moments, she analyzed her findings.

Although Lin Xinghe was wanted in this world, there was only one picture of Lin Xinghe, the one on the wanted notice. The rest of the information about Lin Xinghe was all text, including the official news about Lin Xinghe. The families of the victims killed by Lin Xinghe accused her of unimaginable cruelty, speaking as though they had borne witness to her deeds, but there were no new photos or videos.

…… Why was this?

After dawn, Yu Ying went to her supervisor to ask for leave.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghe watched from the sidelines.

Yu Ying’s boss was a middle-aged man, a little greasy-looking. When Yu Ying requested leave, his eyebrows wrinkled, and he accused Yu Ying of having a bad work attitude and requesting leave often, lacking team spirit, and being unproductive in general.

Yu Ying did not take it to heart in the slightest, cheerfully responded, took the leave approval, and slipped away.

Her boss’s son was at a marriageable age. To look out for his son, the boss booked a suite in the city center. The in-laws prepared a generous dowry, so the boss’s family had to come up with the corresponding bride price to give the young couple some start-up capital … Her boss was also very anxious, working overtime every day and taking on all the projects he could.

Outside, the sky brightened.

Once the green head disappeared, the ghost city quickly returned to its former bustle and liveliness.

Yu Ying took Lin Xinghe to have breakfast.

The small restaurant’s television played the morning news—just last night, Lin Xinghe had killed an entire family of five by her evil knife.

The people in the small restaurant shook their heads as they ate their breakfast, sighing helplessly.

Lin Xinghe kept an eye on the news, in which a reporter was broadcasting live and interviewing the neighbors of the victim’s family.

The neighbors had taken a video of the occasion.

On the screen, the victim’s family’s balcony lights flashed on and off, and occasionally there were screams and shrieks. There was no recording of how Lin Xinghe left after she killed them.

The camera then panned to the victims’ neighbor.

“…… Simply terrible! I didn’t dare to call the police either because no one would come out at night! The devil outside was still wandering, so I didn’t record much…”

Lin Xinghe asked Yu Ying, “Has anyone actually seen Lin Xinghe with their own eyes?”

Yu Ying, slightly stunned, didn’t see the question coming and froze.

Lin Xinghe asked again, “Where did the photo of the wanted notice come from?”

Yu Ying said, “The police department provided it ……”

Lin Xinghe asked, “What about her personal file? Where was she born? Where did she go to school and where did she graduate? Do you know?”

Yu Ying said, “She is a very mysterious person, no one knows any of these. She comes and goes without a trace, but every one of us knows her, is afraid of her, and wants to kill her more for it.”
