The End Times as a Song

Chapter 291 Forget-Me-Not Lake

Lin Yin suddenly released Huan Rugo's hand, leaning forward to press himself even closer to her. Huan Rugo's eyes widened as she stared at Lin Yin in astonishment, her face showing confusion and wariness. Lin Yin's gaze was firm and profound; he stared directly at Huan Rugo without the slightest intention of backing down.

"Haven't you always wanted to kill me? Now I'm right in front of you, giving you the perfect opportunity. Why are you still hesitating?" Lin Yin's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's soul.

Huan Rugo's heart skipped a beat. She did indeed want to kill Lin Yin, but to her surprise, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Now, facing Lin Yin's questioning, she fell into deep thought. She couldn't explain why she couldn't bring herself to kill him; this feeling left her confused and bewildered.

Seeing that Huan Rugo still showed no intention of making a move, Lin Yin's lips curled into a mocking smile. He gently grasped Huan Rugo's hand holding the dagger, slowly raised it, and then pressed it forcefully against his chest.

“Here, just stab me here, and you’ll be free. If you really want to kill me, then do it!” Lin Yin’s tone was provocative.

"Just one stab and you think you can avenge your mother? Why aren't you doing it yet?" He continued to coerce Huan Rugo.

Huan Rugo was terrified and dropped the dagger. She couldn't bring herself to do it; she truly couldn't. Lin Yin was simply telling her to face reality: even if she killed him, Xiao Yuanran wouldn't come back. The dead are gone forever, but the living must go on. Even if she killed Lin Yin, her mother wouldn't return. Besides, it wasn't Lin Yin who killed her; she knew that perfectly well. Huan Rugo stared blankly, utterly lost.

Seeing Huan Rugo drop the dagger and stare blankly, Lin Yin smiled with relief, turned around, and asked with his back to Huan Rugo, "Have you thought it through? You can't go back on your word...?"

Huan Rugo raised her eyes, staring blankly at Lin Yin's retreating figure, and said in a low voice, "Who were those people just now?" Lin Yin was slightly taken aback, slowly turned around, a look of doubt on his face, and said in a low voice, "I don't know...!"

Huan Rugo sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and said in an icy tone, "I knew I wasn't one of yours...!"

Lin Yin frowned, looking at Huan Rugo with a puzzled expression, and asked in confusion, "Then why are you asking...!"

Huan Rugo's face was pale, and her eyes were somewhat dim. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Why did you only save me? What about Xiong Xi?"

Lin Yin remained silent for a moment, glanced at Huan Rugo, and coldly replied, "You should worry about yourself instead."

Huan Rugo suddenly raised her head, stared at Lin Yin, and asked loudly, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yin's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "That kid is the young master of the Bear Clan. Those people's target is you, not that kid. That kid will be fine, you can rest assured about that..."

Huan Rugo's face grew even more somber. She clenched her fists, her heart filled with unease and worry.

After a while, Huan Rugo suddenly asked, "Where is this?"

Lin Yin calmly replied, "Never Forget Lake...!"

Huan Rugo stared wide-eyed at Lin Yin with a puzzled look, and asked in a calm tone, "Mo Wanghu, why did you bring me here?"
