A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 80 Blood Moon

They were arrogant and acted nonchalantly, seemingly unafraid of attracting attention.

The leader was a burly man with a short mustache, carrying an exaggeratedly designed flaming battle axe.

The burly man kicked the corpse on the ground and sneered, "Useless trash."

A tall, thin man behind him looked around and suddenly pointed in the direction of the general store where Lin Yu was:

"Boss, it looks like someone just went in there; the marks are very fresh."

The burly man with the short beard narrowed his eyes, picked up his battle axe, and walked toward the general store, his voice booming:

"Hey guys inside, come out and chat! Found something good? Everyone gets a share!"

Lin Yu frowned. These people acted so arrogantly and made such a fuss in Silent Town. They were either fearless or stupid.

At this moment, the short-bearded, burly man had already reached the entrance of the grocery store and rudely kicked open the half-closed, broken door.

"Hey, there really is someone here." The burly man grinned when he saw Lin Yu, his gaze falling on the canvas tool bag in Lin Yu's hand:

"Hey bro, what did you find? Let's take a look!"

His four companions also surrounded him, forming a subtle encirclement.

Lin Yu looked at them calmly and placed the tool bag at his feet.

"Just a tool, used for repairing stairs," Lin Yu said casually.

"Repair the stairs?" The short-bearded, muscular man's eyes lit up.

"Do you know how to get up there? Tell me!"

Lin Yu crossed his arms and remained silent.

The burly man's face darkened: "I'm asking you a question! Don't be ungrateful! Trying to play me?"

He stepped forward, and the blade of his Flame Battle Axe faintly glowed with a dark red light, causing the surrounding temperature to rise.

"Either tell me everything you know, or..." The burly man licked his lips, "I'll chop you up and you can search for me yourself!"

The tall, thin man behind him sneered, "Boss, why waste words with him? This kid looks like a lone wolf, let's kill him clean."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Lin Yu sighed; he had wanted to save his energy.

The next second, Lin Yu moved.

No warning, no nonsense.

In the burly man's eyes, Lin Yu's figure seemed to blur for a moment.

Then a sharp pain shot through his right wrist, which was holding the axe!

"Snap!"

His wrist was snapped, and the flaming battle axe fell from his hand!

Before the burly man could even scream, Lin Yu's left hand had already gripped his throat, lifting him off the ground and slamming him hard against the wall beside him!

"Bang!"

The bricks shattered, and the burly man became embedded in the wall, bleeding from his mouth and nose as he instantly lost consciousness.

All of this happened too fast.

The tall, thin man and the other three didn't even see Lin Yu's movements clearly; they only saw their leader suddenly fly out and embed himself in the wall.

"Damn it! Do it!" The tall, thin man was both shocked and furious. He clasped his hands together, and a ball of blazing fire instantly condensed and hurled at Lin Yu!

The other two men also launched an attack at the same time; one drew a long sword and slashed, while the other shot out several shadow chains from his wrist.

The only woman took a few steps back and pressed her hands lightly to the ground.

The stone slab beneath Lin Yu's feet suddenly softened, turning into a muddy texture, attempting to trap him.

These people cooperated seamlessly, clearly indicating that they were accustomed to working together against enemies.

Unfortunately, they encountered Lin Yu.

Facing the fireball, Lin Yu neither dodged nor avoided it. Black and red flames erupted from his right palm, transforming into a ferocious fire python that swallowed the fireball whole and pounced on the tall, thin man with undiminished momentum!

The tall, thin man turned pale with horror. He tried to dodge but it was too late. He was hit squarely by the fire python, his whole body burst into flames, and he screamed and rolled around.

The longsword was about half a foot above Lin Yu's head when it was blocked by a shield of black and red flames that suddenly appeared. The blade instantly turned red-hot, and the man holding the sword screamed in pain and let go.

The shadow chains wrapped around Lin Yu's body, but melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting fire. The man who released the chains suffered a backlash, groaning as he staggered backward.

As for the mud beneath their feet...

Lin Yu unleashed flames from beneath his feet, instantly drying and hardening the mud, which caused the woman to interrupt her spellcasting, her face turning pale.

From the moment Lin Yu made his move until all five people lost their fighting ability, the entire process took no more than ten seconds.

The grocery store was in complete disarray, with the crackling of flames and the suppressed groans of the wounded being the only sounds.

Lin Yu walked up to the short-bearded, muscular man embedded in the wall and pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket. Inside were several crystals of different colors and some odds and ends.

They also found a compass-like instrument on the woman.

Without even glancing at the other three incapacitated men, he collected his spoils, picked up his toolbox, and walked out of the general store.

However, just when those people thought Lin Yu was going to let them go, Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.

Then screams erupted from the room, and black and red flames rose violently, burning them one by one to ashes.

On the other side of the square, Red Falcon had just come out of a building when he witnessed the final scene of Lin Yu instantly killing five people.

Her hand holding the dagger paused slightly, and a clear shock flashed in her eyes.

She knew Lin Yu was no weakling; she could tell from the train journey and when they split up to distract the shadows earlier.

But she didn't expect Lin Yu to be this strong.

Five well-coordinated trial participants, whose sequence was at least seven to six, were easily defeated by him, like children.

The dark red flames... were domineering and eerie, giving her an extremely dangerous feeling.

Lin Yu also saw the Red Falcon, nodded to her, pointed to the tool bag in his hand, and then pointed to the clock tower, indicating that he had found the tools and clues.

Red Falcon composed himself and strode over, ignoring the horrific state of the grocery store, and said directly in a low voice:

"I found a tattered map of the town in the old post office there, which marked the location of the mayor's mansion and the warehouse."

I also heard fragments of sound, mentioning "the pocket watch where the song stopped."

Lin Yu briefly explained the contents of the work log.

Once the two combined their information, the clues became clear: the mayor's pocket watch was likely found at the mayor's residence or was related to the singing.

Use the pocket watch to open the clock tower's basement, retrieve the spare bearing, repair the stairs, and climb the clock tower.

But where is "the place where the singing stops"?

As the two were pondering, the sky suddenly darkened without warning.

It wasn't a natural darkness, but rather the sky's eternal leaden gray rapidly deepening, turning into an ominous dark red.

A huge, scarlet moon emerged against the dark red sky, radiating an eerie light.

Blood Moon!

The atmosphere in the entire Silent Town changed instantly.

Those "forgotten voices" that were originally just background whispers suddenly became sharp, mournful, and full of malice!

Countless chaotic roars, cries, curses, and maniacal laughter flooded my mind, like a million needles pricking my nerves!

At the same time, countless transparent and distorted shadows surged out from the shadows of the streets and houses like a tide, densely packed, more than ten times the number during the day!

They no longer drifted slowly, but instead pounced wildly on all living things!

"Retreat! Find somewhere to hide!" Red Falcon's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently.

Lin Yu also felt the threat of the massive mental pollution and the shadow tide.

Without hesitation, the two rushed toward the nearest relatively intact building.

It was that two-story building with the "Red Romance Hotel" sign.
