42: Chapter 42 Who is Watching Me?

(Third Update) 42: Chapter 42 Who is Watching Me?

(Third Update) To facilitate his actions, Fan Chaolun specially bribed the steward to arrange a single room for him.

Perhaps because he appeared quite astute, or maybe because there weren’t many servants employed at the Commander Mansion, he actually managed to get a solitary room in a deserted and secluded courtyard.

Compared to the desolation and isolation of the place, Fan Chaolun was more pleased with the condition that he was the only one living here, which made it convenient for him to act covertly.

But that day, shortly after he had returned and lay down on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Just moments ago, he felt as if someone was staring at him from outside the window, a faint sense of murderous intent circulating in the air.

“Who?”

He charged out the door, but the outside was empty, not a soul in sight.

“Could it be…

my imagination?”

Fan Chaolun, frowning, lay back down on his bed.

However, it wasn’t long before the sensation of being watched crept up on him again.

“Should I go out and check again?”

Just before he had resolved to step outside again, Lin Xing, who had been repeatedly grinding solo, suddenly regained his consciousness, shook his head wearily, and chose to leave for a rest.

Relying on his superpower of time reversal, Lin Xing was always able to make such predictions before the other party made a decision or took any action.

And as long as he decided to rest after grinding solo for a while, Fan Chaolun wouldn’t even be able to find him.

Perhaps in the countless time reversals, Fan Chaolun and Lin Xing had fought hundreds of thousands of times, but Fan Chaolun might never be aware of it.

Only Lin Xing would remember.

This was Lin Xing’s plan: to grind solo for a while, then leave to rest.

Each departure made sure that Fan Chaolun never realized he was the one being watched, so as not to scare off the assassin.

While grinding solo, Lin Xing was also summing up experience: “There are lots of details here that can be fine-tuned, many aspects that can be improved to increase the efficiency of my solo grinding…”

On the other side.

“Who?”

Fan Chaolun, who rushed out, stared at the empty courtyard, feeling an eerie sensation rising in his heart.

This time after he lay down again, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

He tossed and turned, feeling as if someone was watching him.

Perhaps it was sheer exhaustion, but eventually, he drifted off in a daze.

Until that faint murderous intent once again lingered, that feeling of being watched resurfaced.

Fan Chaolun jolted upright, this time he actually saw a blurry figure standing outside the window, seemingly staring intently at him.

“Who in the world is it?

What does he want!”

This time, Fan Chaolun didn’t immediately burst out.

Instead, he subtly adjusted his body posture, then whooshed out the door.

But when he arrived in the courtyard, what greeted him was still an empty, dilapidated yard.

“Who is it!”

“Show yourself!”

Fan Chaolun shouted angrily around him, but in the dark corridors and courtyard, there was no sign of anyone.

He turned again to walk into his room, lay down, and then with a snap, he jumped up and rushed out.

No one.

He went back and lay down for over ten minutes, then suddenly with a snap, he leapt up again and burst outside, still no one.

When he tried the bluff twice and thought the other party had genuinely left, he sighed to himself, “Forget it, sleep now, worry about it tomorrow.”

He lay down once more, then his eyes snapped open, staring fixedly at the vague figure that had appeared by the window at some unknown time.

Whenever he lay down, that figure would be there, outside the window, watching him.

And whenever he tried to go out and search, that figure would surely vanish.

Looking at the still and blurry dark figure, a chill slowly crept into Fan Chaolun’s heart.

“Is this thing…

not human?”

The thought alone made him instinctively wrap himself tighter in his blanket, somewhat afraid to venture out again.

And then…

the sound of the door being pushed rang out.

“It…

it’s come in?”

Fan Chaolun, wrapped in his blanket, was startled.

After a long moment of thought, he finally gritted his teeth and roared, ready to stand up and fight back, but what he saw…

was still emptiness.

He collapsed back onto the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and hugged his head tightly.

At that moment, the sound of the door being pushed happened again, followed by footsteps.

The footsteps grew nearer and nearer until they stopped at the head of his bed.

Fan Chaolun held his breath abruptly, feeling at a loss.

Lin Xing stood by his bed, looking at Fan Chaolun hiding under the blanket, thinking to himself, “It’s better to stand closer.

Every time I reverse time, I don’t have to rush in; I can just take action.”

Although rushing in every time did not take too much time, when multiplied by ten, a hundred, a thousand times, it became a long duration for Lin Xing.

Fan Chaolun, under the blanket, gathered his courage bit by bit, and when he finally couldn’t hold his urine anymore and wanted to lift the blanket…

The footsteps sounded again, and it seemed the person had left directly.

The courage he had just mustered up dissipated instantly, and Fan Chaolun quickly ran out of the courtyard and to a nearby tree to relieve himself.

But that faint intent to kill surged up again, and Fan Chaolun turned to find an additional shadow overlapping with his own on the ground without knowing when it had appeared.

“Ah!”

When he turned his head sharply, he could only see the vague shadow fading into the night.

Fan Chaolun ultimately fled to sleep with a crowd of other menial workers in a large bunkhouse.

When the sun rose the next day, he opened his bloodshot eyes and a slight sense of relief flickered across his face.

“Finally gone.”

The whole morning, the strange shadow did not appear again.

Just when Fan Chaolun thought everything was over, that feeling came back again.

This time, he couldn’t even see the shadow; he could only feel the faint intent to kill lingering in the air and feel those burning gazes fixed on him.

And no matter how he searched, how he ran, he could not find the other person, nor could he escape…

After spending a considerable amount of time, Lin Xing finally managed to advance his talisman skill to the second level.

He could feel the speed of drawing and chanting talismans, as well as the power of his talismans, all enhanced significantly.

Looking at Fan Chaolun, who was still hiding everywhere, he eagerly pursued him.

In the blink of an eye, several days whizzed by, and Lin Xing’s talisman skill made drastic progress.

At this moment, Lin Xing arrived outside Fan Chaolun’s window and looked strangely at the house in front of him.

All the windows were covered with wooden slats and planks.

Entering through the door, he found gaps in furniture, under the bed, the bottom of cabinets, and even the cabinet doors…

all papered over.

And there was Fan Chaolun, hugging his knees, curled up in a corner of the wall, uttering weird whispers from time to time.

Lin Xing thought for a moment and decided to just go in and ask, “Are you alright?”

He received no answer, and as Lin Xing came closer, he heard the other person incessantly muttering, “Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, don’t look at me…”

Lin Xing, surprised, patted his shoulder, “You seem to be sick, huh?”

Fan Chaolun shouted when his shoulder was patted and, looking at Lin Xing with a face full of fear, said, “They are all stealthily watching me!”

“Who is watching you?”

“The people outside the window!

The people under the bed!

The people in the cabinets!

They have all hidden away, all stealthily watching me!

Stealthily!”

Looking at Fan Chaolun squatting on the ground, hugging his head and speaking fearfully, Lin Xing asked somewhat helplessly, “Don’t you want to kill me?”

Lin Xing waved his hand in front of the other’s eyes, but Fan Chaolun did not react at all.

Lin Xing judged from his limited experience in Block C, “This illness seems severe, probably not curable in a short time, huh…

The mental state of the people in Mirror World is too fragile, they fall ill at the slightest thing.”

Feeling the progress of his skills, Lin Xing said with some regret, “If only he could hold on for a few more days, it’s just a bit shy of the limit.”
