Chapter 486 Lingering Fear

He Hailuo smiled happily when he saw Lin Xiyue.

"Hehehe! But remember to call me Conch. It always feels weird when you call me by my full name. My mom only calls me that when she's angry."

She immediately stood up, patted off the invisible dust on her clothes, and then smiled at Lin Xiyue.

"Okay, conch."

Lin Xiyue smiled and nodded in response.

"I knew you would come. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Hehelo continued.

As she spoke, she warmly took Lin Xiyue's hand and led her to sit on the carpet next to her.

However, throughout this process, Heheluo never dared to look at Molos, who was always by Lin Xiyue's side.

After all, Meros's aura was simply too powerful, and coupled with Heheluo's somewhat social anxiety, it was quite embarrassing for her to suddenly speak to a man with such a strong aura.

Guai Guai, like an obedient child, took light, small steps and slowly walked to Lin Xiyue's side.

Then, it gently rubbed its soft ears against Lin Xiyue's waist, as if it were trying to coax her.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Sweetie, I will definitely keep my promise to you, don't worry."

She knelt down, reached out and gently stroked the baby's head, speaking softly.

At this moment, He Hailuo's gaze also fell on Guai Guai, her eyes sparkling with a bright light, like stars in the night sky.

"Actually, I came to see you this time because there are some things I want to ask you."

Then, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue looked up and met He Hailuo's gaze. She nodded, signaling He Hailuo to continue.

"It's like this, didn't you discover that there was something wrong with the doll I was going to give to my parents? It was because of this doll that we got involved in this whole thing."

"Now I'm very worried that the boss might retaliate against us. After all, he's quite influential in society. And I'm also worried that my parents might encounter other problems later on."

He Hailuo gathered his thoughts and then began to explain his ideas one by one.

She paused for a moment, as if considering what to say next.

"Of course, most importantly, I haven't paid you yet. You helped my family solve such a big problem, not only saving me but also protecting me. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Then she added.

After saying these words, He Hailuo showed a shy smile on his face.

She looked at Lin Xiyue nervously, waiting for her response.

"what?!"

Upon hearing He Hailuo's words, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her face showing astonishment.

"that……"

She stammered, as if she wanted to explain something but didn't know where to begin.

"Let's not worry about anything else for now. Actually, you were arrested mainly because of me, so it's only natural that I should save you."

Lin Xiyue finally mustered up her courage and said what was on her mind.

However, when she said the last sentence, her voice noticeably lowered, and a blush appeared on her face, clearly indicating that she was still somewhat embarrassed.

After all, the whole thing was caused by her.

Fei Bo was targeting her from the start, while He Hailuo was just an innocent person implicated by her.

Not only that, He Hailuo was also kidnapped and frightened, which made Lin Xiyue feel very guilty.

To make matters worse, Hero also witnessed a fierce fight between Meros and Phib.

For an ordinary person, such a scene is not something they can easily bear.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but recall the scene at that time. If she hadn't hidden He Hailuo in that wardrobe, which happened to have the function of isolating mental pollution, He Hailuo would probably have suffered even greater harm.

The moment she witnessed the fierce clash between Meros and Fibonacci, the tangible spiritual pollution would instantly corrupt her heart.

After that, a constant stream of powerful mental pollution will assault her like a raging storm, trying to tear her soul apart.

This wave of mental pollution came on strong and instantly overwhelmed her consciousness.

Then, her mind would be filled with chaotic images and terrifying sounds that she couldn't bear.

Ultimately, faced with this powerful force, she will transform into a chaotic mass of flesh and blood, a monster.

Even more terrifying is that this mental pollution not only drove her insane, but could also cause her to disappear completely from this space, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind.

It was an indescribable fear that her existence was about to be erased and disappear from this world forever.

However, He Hailuo was completely unaware of all this; only Lin Xiyue knew the dangers involved.

She knew that all of this could happen if she wasn't careful, so she was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"But this isn't your fault either; you're a victim too. I can't hold a grudge against you just because some bad guys tried to kidnap you and I got dragged into it."

He Hailuo seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's guilt and gently comforted her.

Although the sentence was simple, it flowed into Lin Xiyue's heart like a clear spring.

She looked up and met He Hailuo's sincere gaze, and the guilt in her heart lessened slightly.

Actually, He Hailuo was right; none of this was her fault.

She was also a victim in this turmoil, innocently dragged into it.

Moreover, if Lin Xiyue hadn't reminded her in time, He Hailuo would probably have been unable to escape her fate, and her parents would have been in even greater danger.

Thinking of this, a complex emotion welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart.

She felt helpless about her situation, but was also moved by Heheluo's understanding and tolerance.

In this world full of crises and uncertainties, it is perhaps a kind of luck to meet such a kind person.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's get back to the topic from before."

Seeing Lin Xiyue's slightly uncomfortable appearance, He Hailuo felt a little uneasy, but he still tried to make his tone more relaxed in an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"okay."

Lin Xiyue seemed to have realized He Hailuo's intention. She nodded slightly, trying to make her expression look natural, and then said.

"Okay, let's go back to our original topic. You don't need to worry about the doll at all."

"Because we haven't had time to give it to your parents after it was finished, it will absolutely not have any impact on your parents."

Lin Xiyue spoke first, addressing the issue that He Hailuo was most concerned about.
