Chapter 10: Angry
Conan narrowly avoided the bullet, but the projectile continued its trajectory. It flew straight towards Shiho Miyano like a venomous snake striking its prey. The bullet was mere moments away from hitting her.
At this critical instant, Lin Yu stretched out a hand and effortlessly caught the speeding bullet. Then, he squeezed hard, and the bullet was instantly crushed into countless tiny metal fragments, which scattered to the floor like golden rain.
Lin Yu fixed the group of robbers before him with an icy stare, a palpable murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "A dragon has a reverse scale. To touch it is to invite death!" And Shiho Miyano was the reverse scale in his life. That these robbers had dared to almost harm her was truly unforgivable.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu's figure materialized in front of the robber leader like a phantom. The robber leader didn't even have time to register his presence before Lin Yu seized him by the neck and lifted him as easily as one would a chicken. Then, Lin Yu hurled the robber leader upwards, his body rocketing into the air and straight towards the ceiling.
A dull "bang" echoed as the robber leader's head slammed into the ceiling with tremendous force. The impact was so great that his head became lodged in the plaster, his lower body dangling in the air, swaying lifelessly. Soon, the robber leader's body ceased its tremors, as if all signs of life had been extinguished.
Next, Lin Yu blurred into motion and appeared before the second robber like a specter. He simply extended a finger and lightly flicked the robber's forehead. This seemingly gentle touch contained unimaginable power. The robber didn't even have time to react before he was sent hurtling backward at an alarming speed, as if struck by a cannonball.
The robber's body traced an arc through the air and crashed directly into the solid wall. At the moment of impact, a sickening thud resonated, as if the very air had been displaced. The robber's body was deeply embedded in the wall, becoming almost fused with it.
However, this was only the beginning. The robber's entire skeletal structure shattered into dust upon impact, and his body went limp, devoid of support. His skin ruptured, and blood gushed from the wounds, staining the surrounding walls crimson. At this point, the robber's body was utterly destroyed, leaving no possibility of survival.
Finally, the robber's head lolled to the side, and his life force rapidly ebbed away. His eyes gradually lost their light, eventually becoming dull and vacant. This once arrogant robber had now met his end, becoming nothing more than dust.
"You... are you a human or a ghost?!" The other two robbers trembled uncontrollably with fear as they witnessed the gruesome fate of their companions. One of them felt his legs buckle beneath him, collapsing to the ground. The other was so terrified that he wet his pants, a pungent odor filling the air. They stared with wide, horrified eyes at the killer before them, as if they had encountered a demon from the depths of hell.
Lin Yu took each step deliberately, as if the floor beneath his feet were his personal stage. He walked slowly towards the two remaining robbers, his eyes radiating an irresistible authority.
"You... you don't come any closer!!!" one of the robbers shrieked in panic, his voice laced with terror. The gun in his trembling hand jerked, his finger spasming on the trigger, and bullets sprayed wildly, bang bang bang!
However, Lin Yu's figure flickered like a phantom and vanished from his spot in an instant. The robbers widened their eyes, desperately trying to locate any trace of him, but found nothing.
Suddenly, Lin Yu reappeared directly in front of the robber and delivered a brutal slap across his face. The force of the blow was so immense that the robber's head began to spin on his neck as if detached. With a sickening crack, the robber's head finally came to rest facing backward, a look of utter terror frozen on his features.
Just as Lin Yu was about to deal with the last robber, Conan suddenly stepped forward to intercept him, shouting, "Stop! You can't kill him! Even if they broke the law, it should be the court that decides life and death, not you. What's the difference between what you're doing and what those cruel murderers do?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes turned glacial and merciless. He fixed his gaze on Conan and said, "Are you going to try and stop me too?" At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from him, surging directly towards Conan.
Just then, Ran Mouri called out to Conan anxiously, "Conan, don't do anything foolish! Come here quickly!" She was worried that Conan would be hurt and desperately wanted him to retreat to safety.
When Conan heard Ran Mouri's voice, a bitter smile touched his lips. Didn't he want to move? But at this moment, he felt as if his legs were bound by an invisible force, as heavy as if filled with lead, making it incredibly difficult to take even a single step. Fine beads of sweat gradually dotted his forehead, and he inwardly groaned.
Just as Lin Yu was about to teach Conan a harsh lesson, not caring whether Conan was the protagonist of this world or not – anyone who displeased him could die anyway – Shiho Miyano suddenly said, "Honey, I'm a little tired. Let's go home!" Hearing this, the intense murderous intent radiating from Lin Yu instantly dissipated. He turned around, looked at Shiho Miyano gently, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take a look?"
Shiho Miyano shook her head and said softly, "I'm just a little tired, it's nothing serious." She looked up at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with love and tenderness. Lin Yu nodded, then took Shiho Miyano's hand, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her, "Okay, in that case, let's go back. Tonight is our wedding night, and your husband will take very good care of you." With that, he took Shiho Miyano's hand, turned, and left the scene.
Conan watched their retreating figures and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if Shiho Miyano hadn't spoken up in time, he would have been seriously injured.
