Chapter 1027: Is It You?

Chapter 1027: Is It You?

“Okay, call ended.”

Is that it? Is that supposed to be a heroine?

Lin Nuo laughed, realizing that without the protagonist halo, this overconfident and ignorant attitude could only end in tragedy.

What a pity, looks like she isn’t from the Demon Realm.

“I already told you, she will die.”

“So what if she dies? It has nothing to do with me. I’m just a spectator.”

Lin Nuo said nonchalantly, showing no concern for the life of this strange little girl.

If she dies, she dies. So many people die, do we have to cry every time? Su Kexin wouldn’t do that either.

“I thought she was your companion since you both survived in this forest. But she’s dead now. She’s of no use to us; the only useful one was that other girl.”

“Sorry, she’s not available to you. Now, you guys can wait for your opportunity. I’m just going to grab some gear and leave.”

Lin Nuo walked over to the fallen little girl, squatting down to search her belongings.

However, when he touched her, something strange happened.

The little girl suddenly opened her eyes, all the malevolent energy in her body was expelled, and a powerful force surged forth from her.

“Hmm?!”

Lin Nuo felt something was off; this scene struck a familiar chord.

Could it be you?!

He hurriedly withdrew, but it was already too late; the powerful force had already knocked him back.

The little girl stood up again, gripping the sword in her hand, her eyes empty.

This scene was all too familiar.

Holy crap, could it really be her?!

How could this be her? This personality is nothing like the real deal! She’s always been insecure, timid, and heavily relies on others. Where would she ever call herself a “heroine”?

Could there be another person with such abilities?

But Lin Nuo didn’t have time to ponder. Right now, he needed to run.

Yes, run; otherwise, he might get chopped to pieces. He didn’t want to meet his end just yet!

Lin Nuo quickly got up, doing his best to escape, but a powerful spiritual field had emerged around them. The strong resistance held him back.

Damn it.

Lin Nuo cursed under his breath—he hadn’t even trained yet, and this body was no good for fleeing.

However, the girl didn’t choose to attack him; instead, she pointed her sword towards the crack.

She slashed horizontally with her sword, completely sealing the remaining crack.

“What…?! No!”

There were cries from the Demon Realm, but it still changed nothing; the crack they had desperately opened was ultimately closed by what seemed to be a lifeless human girl.

With a fleeting gust of wind, the aura that had exploded from the little girl dispersed, and the spiritual field faded. She collapsed to the ground.

Unconscious.

“Wow, that was scary.”

Lin Nuo felt a wave of relief; that was genuinely frightening.

Three seconds of a true woman, and then this explosion.

Mainly, she was too young; her duration was short.

But being able to close off that crack, her power must not be underestimated.

“Is it really you, Su Kexin?”

Lin Nuo looked at the little girl and approached her, raising his blade to strike.

Never mind, the risk is too great. If she bursts out again, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. He wasn’t like when he was an adult; back then, he could just turn into the Wind Man and flee.

This crack was indeed dealt with by you. Even at such a young age, you can resist the Demon Realm now.

Because the little girl closed the crack, another little girl who had been waiting for Lin Nuo approached.

She hadn’t seen what had just happened; she only felt the tremors in the mountain, but it soon quieted down.

The crack was gone, and she was very excited.

“Big Brother, did you close the crack? That’s amazing!”

Lin Nuo: “…”

He didn’t bother to explain—it didn’t seem worth it; she definitely wouldn’t believe him.

Forget it, let her think what she wants.

“Big Brother, what happened to her? Is she really in trouble…?”

“She’s just injured and unconscious. She’s not dead.”

“Oh. Big Brother, are you taking care of her?”

“Not really. Let’s go; it’s none of our business.”

Lin Nuo stood up again, not intending to care for the unconscious little girl.

“Hmm… What’s happening to me? Why am I sleeping here…?”

Just as Lin Nuo was about to leave, the unconscious little girl woke up.

Lin Nuo teased, “…You woke up pretty quickly. Do you remember what just happened?”

“Ah? Was I unconscious? Hmm… I felt a lot of pain, and then everything went blurry; I just can’t remember.”

“Just as I thought.”

Lin Nuo shook his head—this is called post-explosion amnesia; a single burst and you forget everything.

“Just as you thought? Ugh, what about that light? I felt it carried a sinister energy.”

“Miss, you also saw that crack, didn’t you? There are terrifying monsters inside; you must not approach it. Maybe you fainted because you got too close. But it’s okay; Big Brother has solved everything; the crack is gone; it’s all vanished.”

Another little girl said, this scene felt so familiar.

Wasn’t this something he had experienced years ago? Doing nothing, while a crowd called him their great hero. One louder than the next.

Becoming a great hero must start from childhood; you have to experience it from a young age.

“So it was you who saved me. Thank you very much. I underestimated you just now.”

“I didn’t save you, don’t thank me. Anyway, can you tell me your name? Are you called Su Kexin?”

“Ah? How do you know my name? That’s right; I am Su Kexin.”

“Just as I thought…”

Lin Nuo rubbed his forehead, feeling quite the headache.

He truly ran into her; still, in such a situation.

“You don’t need to know. How did you end up here? Where are your parents? They let you come up the mountain alone?”

“Hmm… My father has gone missing; I don’t know where he is, but he’ll appear soon. My mother is still at home, waiting for me to return from hunting. I was initially with my uncles to hunt, but suddenly, they all died, and all the nearby animals were dead too. It was very strange. So I decided to investigate.”

“At a time like this, shouldn’t you be running away? Why go up the mountain to investigate?”

“My father taught me to have a spirit of chivalry.”

“Your father really is something.”

Lin Nuo remarked sarcastically—yeah, your dad, Su Lingjiang, is quite a genius, teaching his daughter such nonsense.

Later, he ignored his family and went into seclusion, proving that his brain was somewhat problematic.

“My father is great. Hmm… Actually, I thought of running away too, but I feel I can’t just let it go. There must be something hidden on the mountain. So I bravely went up, and I indeed encountered that light just now; did everyone die because of it?” Su Kexin said.

“Pretty much. But they’re gone, and they can’t come back. The crack is gone too; you can safely return now. But I suggest you not meddle in other people’s affairs; you shouldn’t rush to solve everything. Shouldn’t your priority be staying alive?”
