Transmigrating into the Ultimate Endgame as the Final Boss - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – It’s Rare that You Speak, Can’t You Say a Few More Words?

Lin Yaoyao was twenty-three years old. When that great war erupted, she had just been born. So, of course, she didn’t know!

Ling Tian once had everything and almost ended the apocalypse. But it was collectively prevented by people! After his resurrection, he had only one purpose: to survive in the more intense apocalypse factors that were yet to come in the future.

The life and death of the entire world no longer concerned him! The reason he rented a place with Lin Yaoyao was, of course, for a reason. All his subordinates had died in that battle!

In this world, when people who died had supernatural powers, those powers would transfer to the gender-matched baby born closest to their time of death.

In that battle, his most capable prophet died! Her prophetic ability naturally transferred to the first baby girl born after her death. Ling Tian investigated for many years and eventually confirmed it to be Lin Yaoyao! Of course, it was only a rough guess, and he couldn’t be entirely certain it was her.

After all, many babies were born around the same time back then!

If it wasn’t Lin Yaoyao, Ling Tian would naturally leave. Whether Lin Yaoyao lived or died had nothing to do with him. Ling Tian was looking for several other people besides Lin Yaoyao. But among them, Lin Yaoyao was the most important, which was why he lived with her.

As long as he waited for the next outbreak of the disaster factor, he would naturally be able to determine whether Lin Yaoyao was the person he was looking for!

Because during the next outbreak of the disaster factor, some Espers who didn’t know they had supernatural powers would experience a powerful supernatural reaction in their bodies.

And the time of the next disaster factor’s arrival was … January 1, the next New Year’s Day! There were still a few months left. Of course, Ling Tian wouldn’t tell anyone about his past life, especially not Lin Yaoyao!

At this moment, Lin Yaoyao slowly sat down, her gaze still fixed on Ling Tian.

“Why aren’t you talking?” she asked.

“What else do you want to hear?” Ling Tian responded.

“I … didn’t I ask you how you knew all this?” Lin Yaoyao pursed her lips.

Was this guy suffering from amnesia? Instantly forgetting what she asked?

Or was it that her words weren’t important, so he just ignored them?

“Is it important?” Ling Tian asked in return.

“I …” Lin Yaoyao was speechless.

Was it important?

To be honest, even if Ling Tian answered her question, what difference would it make?

Would it benefit her or Ling Tian in any way?

Not really!

But she was just curious!

It’s rare for you to speak, can’t you say a few more words?

We’ve come this far; even if we can’t be a couple, can’t we get to know each other a bit?

“Well … do you have any family? Are your family members humans or Puppeteers?” Lin Yaoyao continued to ask.

“Puppeteers! I killed them all myself!” Ling Tian replied expressionlessly.

This time when he was resurrected, he did indeed have family members, but all the family members who were still alive were Puppeteers, and he had known this from the beginning.

So, his so-called family members had all died at his hands long ago!

“You really did it?” Lin Yaoyao was somewhat surprised.

If she discovered that her closest loved ones were really Puppeteers, could she really go through with it?

Ling Tian didn’t speak further.

To him, there was never a question of being unable to act!

“Your family members might also be Puppeteers. You can try and see their true nature, and then you’ll naturally know whether you should act or not!” Ling Tian continued calmly. “Of course, they already know the whole truth, so you should be careful!”

Lin Yaoyao fell into deep thought.

Could her parents really be Puppeteers? Should she … try it now? Yes! Of course! Whether her parents were Puppeteers or not, she would find out sooner or later! It’s better to do it now!

So, Lin Yaoyao immediately picked up her phone.

She thought that it might not be appropriate to directly ask, so she sent her father a probing message.

Just two letters: “xk.”

Representing Puppeteers, she wanted to test the waters without being too direct.

She thought her father might be asleep now and might not respond until the next day.

But just a few seconds later, her father replied.

He replied with just four letters: “Ji Ni is too beautiful?”

Lin Yaoyao: “…”

Father’s still awake at this hour?

She really hoped he wasn’t a Puppeteer but a real human, her true father!

She sent another message, asking, “Dad, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

On the other side, her father replied, “Busy! What about you? Why are you sending me a message so late at night? Running out of money?”

“No, I have good moral character, good conduct, and I live frugally. Of course, I have money!” Lin Yaoyao quickly replied. “I’m thinking about a case. Only these two letters were left at the scene. I wanted to consult with you, the senior detective, to see if they have any hidden meaning.”

“‘xk’? Is it a frame-up or scapegoating?” her father replied.

Leaving someone else’s name at the crime scene after committing a crime was something they often encountered.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought, but … it doesn’t feel like it,” Lin Yaoyao replied. “We’ve investigated everyone who had contact with the victim, and no one’s name has ‘xk’ as the initials!”

“Hmm … maybe there’s another meaning!” her father responded.

“Is it possible that it’s not a person’s name, but something else?” Lin Yaoyao continued, “After all, there are so many words that ‘xk’ can represent …”

As soon as this message was sent, there was no response from her father.

After a moment, her phone rang.

Her father was calling.

Lin Yaoyao was surprised; it seemed that her father had indeed figured something out.

Ling Tian’s words were indeed true!
