Chapter 1093: Chapter 1063: Lin Yi ’Commits Suicide
"What are you going to do?!"
Lin Yi looked down at the longsword pressed against his abdomen. If Lin Yi pushed just a little, the sword would pierce into his body without any hindrance.
However, Lin Yi did not do as expected; instead, he held the sword while murmuring to himself:
"Could it be what I thought?"
Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of ’committing suicide,’ the fake ’Zhang Xinying’ seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But just as this ’Zhang Xinying’ relaxed, Lin Yi suddenly looked toward Mu Lingxue’s villa in the distance.
This glance made ’Zhang Xinying’ panic, and she quickly spoke:
"Don’t you want to know who I am?"
"I’ll tell you now."
She thought Lin Yi would surely be drawn in by her words.
But in reality, he wasn’t!
Then Lin Yi suddenly sheathed the longsword, turned to this imposter ’Zhang Xinying,’ and with a playful smile said:
"Trying to divert my attention?"
"Sorry."
"I’m not interested in who you are anymore."
But just after Lin Yi finished speaking, ’Zhang Xinying’ continued to up the stakes:
"Don’t you want to know what’s in this place?"
"Don’t you want to know how to get out of here?"
"As long as you want, I’ll tell you."
While speaking, ’Zhang Xinying’ intentionally or unintentionally blocked Lin Yi’s view, as if trying to prevent him from looking over there.
However, this sudden move by ’Zhang Xinying’ only earned her a sneer from Lin Yi:
"Sorry, I don’t want to."
"You!"
But before the words could come out, ’Zhang Xinying’ realized Lin Yi had already vanished from sight.
She suddenly burst into anger:
"That bastard."
In Lin Yi’s ’room,’ Lin Yi looked at another himself lying inside the gaming pod with a face full of shock:
"This is."
Lin Yi never imagined that there was truly another version of himself here.
Lin Yi, with a face of amazement, touched the luxurious gaming pod; the tactile sensation was almost indistinguishable from reality.
Meanwhile, the entire setup of the room was almost exactly like Lin Yi’s in the real world.
Were it not for the rational part of him constantly reminding himself this was just an Illusion Realm;
Lin Yi might have begun to doubt if he had really returned to reality.
The next moment, ’Zhang Xinying’ also appeared beside Lin Yi:
"What do you intend to do?"
Lin Yi turned his head to glance at this counterfeit woman, then suddenly reached out his hand, preparing to open the gaming pod lid.
’Zhang Xinying’s eyes suddenly showed a flicker of panic as she said:
"I advise you not to do this."
Lin Yi sneered:
"Really?"
With that, Lin Yi pressed a button on the side of the gaming pod:
With a "psst ~" sound of air releasing, the gaming pod lid suddenly opened.
Seeing this scene, ’Zhang Xinying’ deflated like a punctured balloon, despairingly saying:
"It’s over."
Though she wanted to stop all this.
Unfortunately, some rule’s constraint prevented her from making any move on Lin Yi, leaving her to watch helplessly as events unfolded.
At this point, Lin Yi didn’t pay any attention to ’Zhang Xinying’s reaction. He was observing the other himself inside the gaming pod.
Strangely enough.
This ’Lin Yi’ did not awaken from the gaming pod being opened, continuing to lie calmly as if they were still playing a game.
Currently, nutrients were being delivered into ’Lin Yi’s body via a transparent tube.
The instrument panel on the side also displayed various physical data of this ’Lin Yi’, with a prominent health rating of [S] in the screen’s corner.
This was the first time Lin Yi saw his physical data while entering the gaming pod, clearly and vividly in his waking state.
...
...
Earlier when Lin Yi was disrupting the seal of the Eight-Clawed Fire Python underneath Celestial River City, he had researched data related to the Eight Trigrams Array online, including the correct methods to break it.
When Lin Yi realized that the Divine Son competition involved breaking the Eight Trigrams Array, it hit him.
Using the previous method to break the Eight-Clawed Fire Python’s seal merely unsealed it but didn’t mean cracking the Eight Trigrams Array completely.
If Lin Yi were to use that method again, he could indeed quickly walk out of the Eight Trigrams Array.
But it wouldn’t have any impact on the array itself.
What Lin Yi intended now was to crack the Eight Trigrams Array entirely, beyond just stepping out of it.
There was only one way to crack the Eight Trigrams Array: violently break through!
This was the one hope for survival Lin Yi fought for Ling Yuwei and the others.
If one could truly violently break through the Eight Trigrams Array, it stood to reason that they could be simultaneously teleported out.
This was one reason Lin Yi chose ’Death Gate’ without hesitation, ignoring the ’Life Gate.’
The method to crack the ’Death Gate’ was straightforward and crude.
Simply put, life and death are a cycle; trade death for rebirth.
So right after Lin Yi learned everything here was fake, he didn’t hesitate to strike Aunt Liu and even the Jade Qilin.
It’s not that Lin Yi was ruthless, only sparing ’Zhang Xinying’ (an undeniable fact despite appearances).
But upon consecutively killing Aunt Liu and the Jade Qilin, Lin Yi’s body instinctively responded with intense resistance, catching him off guard.
Meanwhile, ’Zhang Xinying’s terrible acting, almost screaming ’please kill me’ with each expression, forced Lin Yi to contain his impulse to ’kill’ her.
If entering the ’Death Gate’ required death to exchange for a chance at life, then apart from those around him he cared most about, only he remained.
Furthermore, ’Zhang Xinying’s abnormal reaction actually gave Lin Yi a substantial hint.
But now, in this space, there are two of him...
Lin Yi quietly observed the other himself, when the Emperor’s Charm Sword was pointed by Lin Yi at his reflection in the gaming pod, the fake ’Zhang Xinying’ involuntarily stepped back, full of fear:
"No! You can’t do this."
"Can I?"
Lin Yi sneered, eyes suddenly gleaming:
"Well, I just have to."
With that, Lin Yi swiftly gripped the sword with both hands, thrusting it into the chest of the other ’Lin Yi’:
"Psst ~"
But when Lin Yi completed this action, his body reacted as if gravely injured; Lin Yi instinctively clutched his chest, falling to his knees:
"Ugh."
Meanwhile, Lin Yi couldn’t help but cough up blood:
"Pfft~"
The immense pain of a moment left Lin Yi’s face twisted and contorted.
When Lin Yi saw the stickiness of the fresh blood on his hand, disbelief replaced his agony.
Looking at the Emperor’s Charm Sword lodged in the chest of the ’Lin Yi’ in the pod, then down at his own chest’s bleeding wound:
"This, this is..."
"How could it be like this?"
Maybe because of massive blood loss or some other reason.
Lin Yi suddenly felt his body growing heavier, even clearly sensing his Life Force rapidly depleting.
At that moment, a voice of helpless sighing emerged from behind Lin Yi.
As his Life Force continued to drain away, Lin Yi’s consciousness increasingly dimmed.
At the moment Lin Yi could no longer hold himself up and collapsed, everything around began to peel away, block by block, leaving nothing but endless, sunless chaos...
