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

Chapter 18 Recovery

As darkness faded, Lin Yu opened his eyes and found himself lying on Su Wan's soft bed.

In his ear was Su Wan's languid, nasal voice, tinged with a sticky sweetness.

Okay, let's go back to when we were comforting Su Wan last night.

Lin Yu pulled away from Su Wan's embrace, the pain still lingering, which made him gasp involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" Su Wan affectionately hugged Lin Yu's neck.

Lin Yu shook his head; he couldn't very well tell Su Wan that he had already died once.

But considering the gains, it was all worth it.

Not only did they obtain the activated Devouring Love Sword, but they also acquired the Crimson Dragon Crystal, a Sequence Six item.

Of course, what Lin Yu cared about most was that half of the memory anchor.

Having guessed its purpose from its name, and with the other half already in hand, Lin Yu was certain that he would soon regain his lost memories.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Su Wan gently shook Lin Yu when she saw him silent.

Lin Yu's expression returned to calm, and he offered an excuse: "I was thinking, if it's always like this, you really won't..."

"Then just get an abortion."

Su Wan waved her hand dismissively: "Besides, it's not that easy."

"Hmm." Lin Yu smiled slightly and brushed a strand of hair from Su Wan's forehead. "Then let's do it again."

......

One hour later—

Only Su Wan's even, long breaths remained in the bedroom; she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yu got up, put on his pants, and walked to the living room shirtless. He then took out the two memory anchors.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on the fragments, giving them a cold, gleaming appearance.

Lin Yu carefully aligned the edges of the two fragments and slowly pushed them together with his fingertips.

With a soft click, a gentle white light burst forth from the center of the anchor point without warning, instantly filling the entire living room and overwhelming Lin Yu's vision.

Countless images flooded Lin Yu's mind.

......

Four months ago, Lin Yu transmigrated to this world.

However, the game starts right in the slums!

The lack of resources made it difficult for Lin Yu to develop.

There is only a cruel reality: devastation is everywhere, and human life is as cheap as grass.

Four months ago, the Jiangcheng West District slum was the darkest period under Chen Tianxiong's rule.

Here, Chen Tianxiong's "Resource Tier Allocation Act" has played its greatest role.

Everyone is ranked according to "value," with the exceptional and their families enjoying the best food, clean water, medical care, and even educational opportunities.

Ordinary poor people could only receive relief food that was barely enough to sustain their lives, did the dirtiest and most tiring work, lived in leaky shacks, and could only wait to die when they got sick.

Want to change your fate? Either awaken to become an extraordinary being or sell yourself to Chen Tianxiong's various laboratories or mines in exchange for more food for your family.

Lin Yu had personally witnessed elderly people starving to death on the streets and children being beaten to death for a bite to eat.

Only after Shen Bing arrived and a series of checks and balances were implemented did the situation improve.

But Lin Yu knew that without strength, he would only be bullied.

Using his ability to rewind time, he found three low-level strange items along the edge of the outer wall, one of which was a rather special memory anchor.

With these resources, along with the reputation he gradually built up in the slums, Lin Yu managed to build a small group that was barely able to protect the people in a small neighborhood.

A month ago, he learned that Chen Tianxiong had acquired a batch of special goods. If he could use these goods to successfully enhance his strength, the already brutal Ladder Act would be implemented even more thoroughly.

Lin Yu was determined not to let him succeed, so he decisively hijacked his goods.

However, when he returned to clean up the traces, he encountered Shen Bing. Lin Yu knew he couldn't win and was also seriously injured and exhausted. Lin Yu fainted while trying to escape.

The aloof deputy director found him unconscious immediately and took him home.

In order to obtain the location where the goods were hidden, Shen Bing used both soft and hard tactics, including coercion and enticement, on Lin Yu.

When she was soft, she would flaunt herself in seductive clothes in front of Lin Yu; when she was hard, she would wear high heels and wield a whip, stepping on Lin Yu's body.

They even threatened Lin Yu that if he didn't talk, they would send people from the protected area to search his memories.

Although the white-haired policewoman was beautiful, Lin Yu wasn't stupid. It was true that Shen Bing and Chen Tianxiong were political enemies, but her goal was the goods themselves.

Moreover, given Shen Bing's personality, it wouldn't be so easy for her to eat it; she was just fishing.

Lin Yu didn't say a word, and seized the opportunity to escape.

But the trouble didn't end there; three people in the warehouse had seen his face during the robbery.

Lin Yu went back and killed the three men in the textile factory warehouse.

But after killing Sister Hong and the other two, a new problem arose.

Lin Yu himself became the biggest survivor and clue. As long as he was caught, neither Chen Tianxiong nor Shen Bing would have a way to dig out the location of the goods from his mind.

Moreover, Shen Bing might really be going to take a hard line this time.

The only solution is to cut off the trail.

Lin Yu took out a memory anchor, sacrificed a strange object, and completely sealed his memories, setting it to take effect in one minute.

In order to help his amnesiac self remember, Lin Yu decisively sacrificed the last strange object to increase his chances of rewinding, maximizing his opportunities to try and make mistakes.

Lin Yu then destroyed half of the memory anchor, leaving only a quarter of it deliberately at the scene.

Lin Yu left the other quarter on the black market, and only felt relieved after seeing a distinctive young girl pick it up.

Even if the anchor point is found, it won't be complete, but Lin Yu can use the ability to rewind to complete the whole piece.

After that, Lin Yu completely lost his memory and was taken away by Shen Bing again and placed in the police station to help him recall his memories.

However, Lin Yu hadn't anticipated Su Wan's appearance; it was purely accidental.

Although I was caught up in some incidents, it wasn't too bad.

In any case, Lin Yu and Chen Tianxiong were already sworn enemies.

......

As the white light dissipated, Lin Yu exhaled a breath of stale air.

"So that's how it is..." he muttered to himself, his fingers tracing the memory anchor that had lost its luster. Only by sacrificing the strange object again could it be reactivated.

Thinking about stealing the Crimson Dragon Crystal tomorrow, Lin Yu decided to do something, and then he left Su Wan's house.

However, before leaving, she took a few of Su Wan's panties.

Uh, it's not from the Daoguang era.

You'll find out soon enough.
