84: Chapter 84 Thank you for sending it over.

A smile appeared on Su Tang's face—a twisted, ferocious smile.

Her hand gripping the hilt of the blade was trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.

"Oh! Big Brother Wang Lin, I'm sorry!"

"I didn't mean to, are you okay! You're bleeding..."

Wang Lin looked down at the blade in his chest, then turned to look at Su Tang beside him. "You are not Su Tang."

"Su Tang" smiled.

Her face began to change, slowly morphing into another face.

It was a strange face—a woman in her twenties with a thin, pale face.

Her lips were thin, pressed into a line, with that same twisted, ferocious smile still hanging at the corners of her mouth.

Her clothes were changing too, shifting from Su Tang's dark coat into a black bodysuit, with several daggers hanging at her waist, two sheaths strapped to her legs, and black soft-soled boots on her feet.

"You're right, I am not Su Tang."

"My name is Ying. Like the shadow."

"My Superpower is called 'Thousand Faces'; I can turn into anyone I have ever seen."

"Not just the face, but also the physique, voice, scent, fingerprints, irises..."

"Everything. As long as I have seen it once, I can become exactly like them."

Wang Lin looked at her without speaking.

Ying continued, "I am a member of the Blood Tooth Mercenary Group. I came here to avenge our leader."

Wang Lin glanced down at the blade in his chest, then looked back up at Ying. "I didn't kill your leader. Captain Huo Xiao did."

Ying nodded. "I know. But it all started because of you."

"If it weren't for you, our leader wouldn't have had to fight the match against Dark Blade, and he wouldn't have died at the hands of Captain Huo Xiao."

"As for Captain Huo Xiao..." She paused. "I don't blame him. Our leader and Captain Huo Xiao died in a fair duel in the Arena."

"Lost is lost, dead is dead. I have nothing to say about that. But you... you are different!"

"Our leader died, and you still did that to his corpse!"

"I cannot forgive that! I cannot forgive the fact that my beloved leader was desecrated after death!"

Wang Lin watched her, silent for a moment.

He recalled that day in the Arena, when those Tentacles pierced Commander Tie Mu's chest, absorbing the dark golden light and leaving several circular holes behind.

In the eyes of others, it certainly looked like desecrating a corpse.

Ying's breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently.

"My life was saved by our leader."

"Back then, I was an unwanted orphan, wandering in the camp, starving to death."

"The leader picked me up, gave me food to eat, clothes to wear, gave me a knife, and taught me how to kill."

"He said: 'From today on, you are one of the Blood Fang. Whoever bullies you, you kill them.'"

Her tears fell—one drop, two drops, three drops.

"The leader is dead, so of course I have to take revenge."

"They wouldn't let me take revenge, saying I was too weak, that I would just be throwing my life away, and that the Blood Fang could no longer afford any more casualties."

"But that doesn't matter..."

"My Superpower isn't combat-oriented; it's deception-oriented."

"I don't need to fight you head-on; I just need to find an opportunity,"

"An opportunity when your guard is down, when you are alone, an opportunity where I can pierce your heart."

Her gaze fell on Wang Lin's face, the corners of her mouth curling up:

"To get close to you, I deliberately chose Su Tang, who has the best relationship with you."

"I have been observing you ever since the day you finished your match in the Arena."

"I discovered that among the candidates for the Twelve Zodiacs, you and Su Tang are the closest."

"She is always by your side, calling you 'Big Brother Wang Lin', and you never drive her away."

"So I chose her..."

"I observed her every move..."

"How she walks, how she speaks, how she smiles, how she blinks, how she plays with her hair, how she taps her toes."

"Her every action, every detail, every nuance of expression, was etched into my mind."

"I became her, I became everything about her."

She paused, her gaze becoming a bit more distant:

"So, I followed you, followed you into the temple."

"Only in here, if I kill you, will it go unnoticed."

"No one will know it was me who killed you, no one will know Su Tang was a fake, no one will know that the Blood Fang are still seeking revenge."

"That way, it won't implicate the others in the Blood Fang."

Her gaze landed back on Wang Lin's face, the corners of her mouth curling up:

"I have prepared for a long time for you. This time, I finally found the opportunity."

Wang Lin looked at her, silent for a long time.

Then he spoke, his voice very calm. "Are you done talking?"

Ying was stunned, her pupils contracting slightly.

Her gaze shifted from Wang Lin's face to his chest.

There, the blade was still inserted, and blood was still flowing.

Her gaze moved from Wang Lin's chest to the wound on his chest,

where there was no flesh or blood, but a patch of black mist.

It was [Shadow Shapeshifting].

What she had stabbed into was not a heart, but a Tentacle.

It was a Tentacle that Wang Lin had intentionally placed there.

Ying's pupils contracted violently, her body instinctively jumping backward, wanting to put some distance between them.

But before her feet could leave the ground, four Tentacles surged from Wang Lin's chest.

They wrapped around Ying's wrists and ankles, wrapping tightly, so tight that her bones were creaking.

Ying's body was lifted into the air, her limbs stretched straight, like a butterfly pinned to a cross.

She struggled, but could not break free.

She twisted, but could not move.

She screamed, but could not make a sound.

Her throat was constricted by a Tentacle, choking her until she couldn't breathe.

Wang Lin looked at her, his gaze calm.

"Your performance was quite good."

"Every action, every detail, was exactly like Su Tang."

"I had absolutely no idea that the 'Su Tang' in front of me was a fake."

"It's just a pity that you chose the wrong target..."

"If we're talking about the Twelve Zodiacs, or even the entire camp, the one I am most guarded against is Su Tang."

"I am on guard against her every action, every detail."

"I have always been wondering when she would reveal her true face,"

"when she would make a move against me, when she would stab me in the back."

"You mimicked her too well. So well that the moment I saw you, I started being on guard."

"Not because you revealed a flaw, but because you had no flaws."

"That person Su Tang cannot possibly have no flaws."

"Her having no flaws is her biggest flaw."

Ying's eyes widened, her lips trembling, wanting to say something, but her throat was constricted, and she couldn't speak.

Wang Lin looked at her, the curve of his mouth widening slightly.

"This Superpower of yours is very good... I like it very much..."

"Thank you for delivering it personally."

"Just like Commander Tie Mu... I also like his [Vajra Transformation] very much..."

Ying revealed a look of disbelief. "So... so... you... you..."
