Lin Yu shook the knife in his hand and then put it back into its sheath. His gaze turned to the long spear left behind by Xia Po. Raindrops fell on the spear shaft, making a slight tapping sound. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up as proof of the mission, a sudden dark figure flashed from the side room.
Lin Yu immediately became alert, swiftly turning around and staring sharply at the left side of the house. Even in the pouring rain, he keenly sensed that there seemed to be another person hidden in the darkness. The sudden appearance of this dark figure made his heart jump to his throat, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and oppressive.
Lin Yu is puzzled. Xia Po should have evacuated all the traitors, so why are there still people here? The appearance of this shadow not only disrupted his plan but also forced him to be more vigilant. The rain is getting heavier, and the sound of the raindrops seems to exert invisible pressure, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He pressed his hand tightly against the scabbard, leaning forward slightly, and approached the house step by step, being extremely cautious with each step. Every time his foot stepped on the waterlogged ground, the sound it made seemed particularly harsh in the silent night. The darkness and the rain made him feel uneasy, but he knew that this shadow might conceal unknown secrets.
His gaze swept over every possible hiding place, filled with vigilance. The thick darkness and dense rain made the whole scene even more oppressive, as if a deadly crisis could erupt at any moment.
Lin Yu's every step was extremely slow, his ears keenly catching the sounds around him. He knew well that any negligence could lead to fatal consequences. His heart raced, but his body remained calm and steady.
At this moment, the air seemed to be filled with invisible pressure, making it almost difficult for him to breathe. He knew that in the darkness ahead, there might be a deadly enemy lurking.
Lin Yu's left foot stepped onto the threshold, and it made a slight creaking sound, unusually harsh in the silent night. He felt the mixture of sweat and rainwater on his body, giving him a disgusting, sticky feeling that made him restless. But he tried to stay focused, tightly gripping the knife handle in his left hand, ready to respond to any potential danger at any time.
His gaze was fixed on the dark house, which seemed to be a barn, the air thick with the scent of hay. In the sporadic flashes of lightning, Lin Yu could catch a glimpse of the interior for just a moment. Large piles of hay were haphazardly stacked in the corners, and as the lightning illuminated the space, the shadows of the hay cast mottled black shapes on the ground, as if hiding countless secrets.
Lin Yu's breathing became slower and deeper; he knew that any misstep could lead him into the enemy's trap. The heavy darkness of the night and the pouring rain enveloped the entire world in a gloomy shroud, and he could hear his heartbeat clearly in his ears.
He carefully stepped over the threshold, walking extremely cautiously, trying not to make any noise. His left hand tightly gripped the knife handle, while his right hand gently pushed the door open, allowing his eyes to gradually adjust to the darkness. Every corner of the room could potentially hide danger. As lightning flashed across the sky again, Lin Yu caught a glimpse of a dark figure swaying slightly behind a pile of dry grass.
His heart skipped a beat, and his mind quickly calculated the next course of action. Whatever that dark figure was, he had to stay calm and alert. Lin Yu took a deep breath, feeling the rain sliding down his cheeks, and his vision sharpened in the darkness.
He approached the haystack step by step, his ears attuned to any faint sound. Each step was taken with extreme caution, as if the air around him had solidified, creating an oppressive atmosphere that felt almost suffocating. Lin Yu knew that every decision made in this moment was crucial; he had to give it his all to turn danger into safety.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, and the shadow behind the haystack seemed to shift slightly. Lin Yu's heart raced, and he gripped the knife handle tighter, ready to strike at any moment. The enemy in the darkness might be waiting for the perfect opportunity, but Lin Yu would not give them that chance. His gaze was cold and resolute, his body slightly leaning forward, prepared to face the unknown challenge ahead.
Lin Yu cautiously groped around the haystack and the wall beside him in the darkness, fully aware that he had reached a dead end in the house, where anything lurking here had nowhere to escape. His fingers brushed against the rough wall, and he felt a cold sensation that heightened his alertness.
He slowly drew out his knife, its blade glinting faintly in the dark. His movements were extremely slow, making no sound at all, as if he had merged with the shadows. Lin Yu's ears strained to catch every subtle sound around him; through his keen hearing, he could sense the rapid, tense, and fearful breaths of the person nearby.
These breaths were particularly obvious in the quiet air, and Lin Yu instantly detected the presence of that person. Rapidly calculating in his mind, he probably grasped the location of that thing, right in front of him, roughly at knee level.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the tension and unease in his heart, his eyes becoming colder and more focused. Gripping the blade tightly in his hand, his steps remained light and silent as he slowly approached that position. Lin Yu knew that every movement at this moment was crucial, and any carelessness could lead to danger.
Suddenly, a faint flash of lightning split the night sky, briefly illuminating the entire room. Lin Yu caught a glimpse of a shadow curled up behind the haystack, trembling uncontrollably. He quickly assessed that this person had been driven to desperation.
Lin Yu did not give the other party any time to react. With a swift lunge, he abruptly tossed aside the haystack with his left hand, while the blade in his right hand was precisely aimed at the shadow.
Lin Yu felt that the person he was about to attack seemed even smaller than he had imagined. As he gazed at the figure in the darkness, he suddenly realized that the person appeared delicate and frail, almost like a child. Upon closer observation, he could faintly see the small face and terrified eyes of a girl.
Lin Yu was shaken, and the blade stopped just an inch from the girl's neck. The cold gleam of the blade appeared particularly sharp in the faint light of the lightning. The girl widened her eyes in fear, trembling as she raised her hands in an attempt to block Lin Yu's attack, but her movements seemed so feeble and helpless.
The rain continued to pour, beating down on the roof and the ground, emitting a low, muffled sound, as if adding a layer of oppressive background noise to this tense standoff. Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened at this moment, his gaze shifting from cold to complex, the blade trembling slightly in the air.
He didn't know why this girl had appeared here, but her presence stirred up a storm in Lin Yu's heart. His breathing became rapid, yet the knife in his hand remained steady. The girl's eyes were filled with fear, her body curled up, seemingly ready to face the worst outcome at any moment.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yu asked in a low voice, with a cold and stern tone mixed with a hint of complex emotions.
