After Lin Ci'an finished dealing with the urgent matter, the uneasiness in his heart drove him to rush back as quickly as possible.

But outside the hall, there was no one!

(Where are those minions?! Are they all dead?!)

This thought made him even more shocked, angry and fearful!

Just opened the door of the temple.

The floor was littered with memorials and scattered writing instruments, and the secret compartment of the treasure chest had popped open.

Chu Ziyu's face was pale (frightened + sudden pain in his heart), his brows were furrowed (pain), and one hand was covering his heart (subconscious reaction).

The other hand tightly grasped the cold dagger, and the tip of the dagger was pointing right at his heart!

"Darkness value increased by 5%, current darkness value is 50%."

(Boss! Emergency! Lin Ci'an thinks you're going to commit suicide!)

(…What? Committing suicide?)

(I just picked up a knife, what kind of melodrama is he playing in his head all day?)

(This misunderstanding is really... huh? Wait!)

(Maybe... no explanation is needed?)

(Boss? What are your plans?).

(He's making the best of it, so why don't I just... go along with it?)

(Didn't he think I was determined to die, that I hated all this so much that I was willing to kill myself?)

(What do you mean?)

(That’s right.)

(This way, he would think that I was completely disheartened and had lost all hope. A person who has lost interest in life naturally has no attachment to power or government affairs.)

(Great! Boss! Make him feel guilty! Make him afraid! Make him do everything he can to keep you alive!

By then, let alone reviewing memorials, even if you wanted to use them as firewood to roast sweet potatoes, he wouldn't dare to say "no"! ) 6872 understood instantly, his tone full of admiration.

(…Baked sweet potatoes are not necessary.)

"Zi Yu! No!"

Lin Ci'an was so frightened that he almost rushed forward with a roar, his voice filled with unprecedented fear!

Chu Ziyu was frightened by the roar and the figure that suddenly rushed towards him. He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but in Lin Ci'an's eyes, Chu Ziyu was determined to die.

Lin Ci'an's heart was pounding wildly in his chest, almost bursting out of his body.

However, the expected scene of the blade completely penetrating the heart did not happen.

The tip of the dagger only penetrated a little, just enough to cut through the flesh, and Chu Ziyu found that he could not move.

It was as if every inch of his muscle and every bone were instantly bound by invisible chains.

He tried to move his arms, but found that even his fingertips could not tremble at all.

(It’s a Gu insect!)

The way he held the dagger froze in mid-motion, like a puppet suddenly frozen in time.

The wound on his chest, which was pierced by the knife tip, slowly oozed blood, staining his clothes red.

Lin Ci'an's figure approached like a ghost, his face was also pale, and even fine cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Obviously, when Chu Ziyu was awake, it was not an easy task for him to activate the mother Gu.

But there was no hesitation in his eyes, only an almost crazy determination and fear.

He tightly grasped Chu Ziyu's wrist, which was still holding the dagger, and with his other hand he carefully pried the dangerous dagger out of Chu Ziyu's stiff fingers, and threw it far away with a "clang".

The sound of the dagger falling to the ground relaxed Lin Ci'an's tense nerves a little, but he immediately focused all his attention on the glaring red on Chu Ziyu's chest.

He loosened his grip on her wrist, his fingertips trembling imperceptibly as he very gently pushed aside the punctured fabric to check the wound underneath.

When I saw that it was really just a very superficial flesh wound and did not hurt any vital parts.
