Godslayer: A random filename extension?

[Gained skill: Deathrattle - Burst]

[Experience Points +399]

After taking down the last Sand Snake captain, the battle was finally over.

The gains were good, but it seems that these experiences will take a long time to fully integrate into one's own abilities.

And the ensuing soul-shaking impact will be enough to give Lin Linhou a hard time.

Let's just absorb it while we sleep.

Lin Linhou and Lin Qiye returned to the vicinity of his aunt's house and stood on the top of an abandoned building, watching each other's busy figures from afar.

"Auntie looks much better than before, and she looks younger too."

Lin Linhou asked Si Mengqing to scan the other party's health status, and the results showed that Lin Qiye's aunt was much healthier than before.

One of the obvious reasons is that after Lin Qiye joined the army, his aunt's family received a lot of subsidies, so their life was no longer as difficult as before.

And their jobs were also secretly taken care of, with them being assigned leisurely and easy tasks.

On the other hand, Lin Linhou instructed Si Mengqing to secretly add something extra to the groceries or drinking water she bought when she was out in the data form.

For example, fruits and vegetables, powders or spices with therapeutic effects, and health products that Lin Linhou would send to her in his and Lin Qiye's names during holidays.

Moreover, these are genuinely effective health supplements, not those starch tablets sold by unscrupulous salespeople who only aim to rip off the elderly.

Now, the other person's back doesn't ache, their legs don't hurt, and their feet don't cramp anymore. They look radiant and seem to be slowly getting younger again.

"Hmm...but brother, your treatment is a bit too effective. I feel that it might actually cause some problems for your period."

It's certainly a good thing that my aunt is now free from illness and has regained her rosy complexion.

However, it's a bit too good. It's only been half a year since we last met, and Lin Qiye conservatively estimates that his aunt looks at least ten years younger, but she's only forty years old.

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴When I looked at him from a distance just now, Lin Qiye almost didn't recognize him.

[Hmm? Isn't being ten years younger a good thing? What woman wouldn't want to look young and beautiful again?]

Lin Qiye shook his head and said that when he was a child, he remembered his aunt always complaining that being pretty would easily arouse jealousy and attract suitors with impure motives.

This problem only disappeared later when my aunt looked haggard and started to develop dark circles and wrinkles.

"Well, speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask this before. I'm not surprised that your parents went missing. It's normal that your grandparents' generation, who were old and suffered a blow, passed away early as well."

"But where did your uncle go? Did he disappear too?"

How come only one woman is left to work and take care of two children, one young and the other blind?

Lin Qiye shook his head, indicating that he had never met his uncle either, but he had overheard some news from the gossip of the neighbors.

"It is said that my uncle died in a car accident while he was working away from home. At that time, my aunt had just given birth to Ah Jin and couldn't even leave the hospital."

"Later, my aunt never remarried."

Lin Linhou said that's not right either. If there's a car accident, you should be able to get a lot of compensation. Why is your aunt's family still so poor all these years?

"Because there is insufficient evidence of a car accident, since my aunt was not able to go to the scene immediately, and she didn't even receive the news right away."

"When she finally received the news, her uncle hadn't been able to reach her by phone for several days before he called the police. Later, it's said that she only received tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, and the matter was dropped."

At this point, Lin Qiye's expression turned somewhat unfriendly, and Lin Linhou sensed that he was about to deliver some even worse news.

"I heard from the neighbors that the person who hit and killed my uncle was a high-ranking official. Even the local police station was under his control. During the subsequent investigation, all the surveillance footage of the accident scene was gone, and the eyewitnesses all insisted that my uncle had crossed the road recklessly and deliberately staged the accident."

When Aunt arrived in the other city with her newborn son, Ah Jin, her uncle's body had already been cremated, and the case had long been closed.

However, it is said that a few days before his uncle's accident, he transferred the wages he received from the construction site to his aunt, saying that he would go back at the end of the month.

Furthermore, my uncle has always been law-abiding. He and my aunt have only been married for a little over a year, and they have worked hard to earn money and even bought a house in the old town. How could he possibly resort to staged accidents?

"It's said that my aunt wanted to apply for a reinvestigation, but it was rejected. They said the case had already been classified and the evidence was conclusive. They said if my uncle hadn't died, he would have been detained and imprisoned for malicious staged accidents. But considering my aunt's family situation, the insurance company, out of humanitarian considerations, gave them tens of thousands of yuan in compensation..."

Lin Qiye isn't stupid. He might not have been able to figure out the trickery involved when he was younger, but now that this matter is brought up, the issues seem to be quite significant.

But what could Auntie do back then? With her newborn son, Ah Jin, she was all alone in a foreign land, wanting to appeal to the local government's top official?

How can it be?

In the end, the matter was left unresolved, and my aunt rarely mentioned the reasons behind it afterward.

She did not remarry, but focused on raising Ah Jin. Two years later, Lin Qiye was also placed by the police in the home of her only relative, her aunt, because her parents had disappeared.

Lin Linyi: (▼ヘ▼)……

It seems that in every world, there are bureaucratic outlaws who abuse their power for personal gain and who dares to accuse this official?

Or rather, this is actually the case in the majority of cases?

[Which city? Which official was responsible for the accident?]

Since Si Mengqing couldn't find any relevant case information online, she simply asked directly.

She wanted to test the other party's capabilities.

But Lin Qiye shook his head and said there was no need to look anymore, as the other party was probably already dead.

"I heard that one day when the man was walking home from a nightclub, a wolf taller than a man suddenly jumped out from the intersection and swallowed him whole."

"Moreover, during that period, there were many similar disappearances in the local city, and the legend of the hungry wolf even became popular for a while."

"Moreover, many of the missing people are high-ranking officials who have committed evil deeds or even corrupt police officers. Some people say that this is retribution for some people, and that the evil spirits of those who caused them have come to take their lives."

"Now that I think about it, I guess the other city encountered some kind of mysterious creature that looks like a wolf, like a wolf demon that eats evil people or something."

Lin Qiye looked up at the moonlight, feeling helpless. He hadn't even gone to find his enemy yet, and they were all gone. What kind of Loulan behavior was this?

Lin Linhou: emmm...

A huge, mysterious wolf-shaped creature? It sounds familiar.

At this moment, Xiao Hei, who was secretly observing, thought: ...

Um?_??

So, you're blaming me?

It saw that Ah Jin's mother couldn't solve the problem, so it took the liberty of solving it for her.

As the saying goes, since the other party can disregard moral and legal constraints, let's combine them and go straight for the Taoist method.

If reasoning with people doesn't work, then resort to the fighting style of dogs.

As it turns out, the other party, being a beast, couldn't outmaneuver itself.

It's crunchy and delicious, perfect for popping in your mouth.

Just then, Lin Qiye's phone rang. It was his aunt calling. Lin Qiye answered the phone and started chatting with his aunt.

"Hey, Auntie!... It's not cold!... We have dumplings in our unit too, and the New Year's Eve dinner made by the mess hall sergeant was delicious. Lots of comrades ate together... Yes, Brother Lin and I are in the same unit, we even share a dormitory... Don't worry, Auntie... Hmm..."
