Chapter 23 Facing It Alone

The sudden sound made Lin Yi frown.

Looking back, not far away, Gu Zijin was slowly walking towards Lin Yi.

"Squad leader, it's so late, aren't you here too?"

Lin Yi quickly adjusted himself and replied calmly.

"I can't sleep, let's go out for a walk." Gu Zijin said with a smile.

"Me too." Looking at Gu Zijin getting closer and closer, Lin Yiqiang resisted and did not move away.

Once there is any resistance in Lin Yi's expression, Gu Zijin will definitely be suspicious.

When Lin Yi thought that the person he once liked was actually a monster in human skin, Lin Yi wanted to slap himself twice.

"Lin Yi, I heard that you didn't take the exam the day before yesterday, and you didn't come to yesterday's graduation dinner." Gu Zijin asked worriedly, "Did something happen to your family?"

"My classmates in the class have sent you a lot of messages in the past two days, but you haven't replied."

Lin Yi did receive a lot of news, but during that time Lin Yi was imprisoned at home by monsters, and all he could think about was how to escape, and he had no time to pay attention to them.

"Lin Yi, if something happens to your family, you can tell me and I will definitely find a way to help you."

"Something happened?" Lin Yi cursed in his mind, "Even if something happens, it's none of your business."

"What could happen to me? I'm just not sure about this year's exam, so I just gave up and planned to repeat the exam." Fortunately, Lin Yi thought quickly and made up an excuse to fool him.

"Really?" Gu Zijin didn't look convinced.

"Really, really." Lin nodded, "Squad leader, it's getting late now, I have to go back."

"You should go back early. I heard that the murderer the police have been looking for has appeared. Be careful."

Lin Yi was about to leave. He didn't want to waste time with a monster here.

However, as soon as he turned around, Gu Zijin stopped him again: "Lin Yi, let me take you back."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

The corpse of the monster at home was still lying behind the door. If Gu Zijin followed Lin Yi back, he would definitely see it.

So, Lin Yi hurriedly refused: "No need, squad leader, I can just go back by myself."

"It's so late and it's not safe on the road. You should go home quickly."

"Since it's not safe, why don't you send me back?" Gu Zijin still had a smile on his face, "You can't let me, a girl, go home alone at night, right?"

"Girl?" Lin Yi thought with disdain, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? The 'girl' you called me is a female monster at best."

"Better say goodbye." Lin Yi shook his head. He didn't want to walk in the night with a monster.

"A man and a woman alone will be misunderstood if they are seen by others."

"If you think it's dangerous, just call a taxi and go." Lin Yi waved his hand, "I really have to go back, otherwise my parents should scold me."

"Monitor, I'm leaving first, bye!"

After saying that, Lin turned around and ran away.

He ran very fast, looking back from time to time. Lin Yi was relieved until he was sure that Gu Zijin had not caught up.

Occasionally, a police car drove by, and Lin Yi quickly hid in a side alley.

"It seems that the plan was successful." Lin Yi looked outside and said, "These monsters were all attracted by Uncle An. At this time, Zhou Kai has also got the key."

"I don't know why I met that monster Gu Zijin so late at night. It's really unlucky."

"I have to rush back as soon as possible. It will be troublesome if I encounter other monsters again."

"You have indeed discovered it." Just when Lin Yi was about to leave, Gu Zijin's deep voice came from above.

Lin Yi froze in place, his eyes widened, and he slowly looked up.

On the wall above his head, Gu Zijin's lower body had disappeared, replaced by six slender insect legs.

She lay on the wall and looked directly at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was already very vigilant, but he forgot that these monsters could climb the wall, and he didn't expect that Gu Zijin had been following him.

"Now that you've discovered it, I won't be polite." Gu Zijin's skin began to tear, and the black carapace was slowly exposed.

She opened her mouth, and jagged mouthparts emerged, followed by a pair of huge compound eyes.

The tentacles covered with barbs on the abdomen kept swinging, as if they couldn't wait to pierce Lin Yi's body.

"Don't... don't come here!"

Lin Yi was extremely nervous. At this moment, he was extremely envious of Zhou Kai's ability.

If he had Zhou Kai's ability, he would definitely be able to find this monster following him.

Lin Yi thought about what happened in the butcher shop in the previous timeline. If he went back to the past without dying at that time, would it be possible now?

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Lin Yi shouted.

It's a pity that time did not go back to the past because of Lin Yi's shout.

"Why does this ability work sometimes?" Lin Yi wanted to cry.

Compared with Zhou Kai and An Chengdao's abilities, his abilities are really unreliable.

Gu Zijin jumped up from the wall. In panic, Lin Yi quickly picked up the bricks on the ground and threw them at Gu Zijin.

Hearing a muffled sound, Gu Zijin's face showed a trace of anger.

Looking intently, Lin Yi was stunned.

The brick hit Gu Zijin's forehead, and there was a shallow pit where the brick hit.

"What?" Lin Yi was a little confused. Aren't the shells of these monsters quite hard?

Why would a brick dent the shells that couldn't be pierced by a knife before?

Looking at Gu Zijin who had turned into a monster in front of him, Lin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lin Yi had seen many monsters, especially the timeline when the butcher shop was surrounded.

However, compared with those monsters, Gu Zijin's physique was obviously much smaller.

And the tentacles on the abdomen, compared with those monsters, Gu Zijin's abdomen tentacles and six insect legs were much thinner.

After a little thought, Lin Yi seemed to understand.

The last time he was killed by Gu Zijin, Lin Yi didn't see her complete appearance.

Now it seems that Gu Zijin is probably still an underdeveloped monster.

Only when these monsters are fully developed, their physique will become larger, their tentacles will become thicker, and their shells will become invulnerable.

If his opponent is the underdeveloped monster in front of him, Lin Yi may not be powerless to fight.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi became more confident.

So, Lin Yi had a plan in mind.

Gu Zijin didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking, and she was very angry after being hit by Lin Yi.

The six insect legs kicked the ground fiercely, and Gu Zijin quickly pounced on Lin Yi.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing the monster approaching, Lin Yi shouted.

He knew how greedy these monsters were, and they would never share the food they got with other monsters unless they had no choice.

"Are you going to eat me here?" Lin Yi asked, "Although it's night now, because of the murderer, there may be other monsters passing by."

"If they see you eating people, I'm afraid they will come to share a piece of the pie."

"Then you can't enjoy my delicious meat alone."

"If you really want to eat me, I know a place where you can eat me quietly."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and continued, "After all, as food, it also has dignity."
