"Who are you?"

Ah State immediately pulled out a gun from his waist, removed the safety, and pointed it at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan looked coldly at Ah State, "You killed Cheng Yi."

Ah State squinted his eyes and said coldly, "A shot to the head, and I scattered his ashes, so what?"

An expression of pain appeared on An Yan's face on the bed. She held her head with both hands, then looked at the woman on the balcony, who said coldly, "It seems you know."

"I... I know..." An Yan's lips trembled.

"Yet you're willing to spend the rest of your life with him," Lin Wan said indifferently, "with the enemy who killed your childhood sweetheart and scattered his ashes."

"No! Stop talking!" An Yan suddenly shook her head but did not deny Lin Wan's words.

Ah State sneered and fired the gun.

"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire startled An Yan, who quickly looked up, only to see the woman still standing there, calm and composed.

Ah State's pupils shrank, and he continued to fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Click!"

Lin Wan casually opened her hand, letting seven bullets fall from her hand one by one.

"Ding ding ding—"

Ah State was dumbfounded, and An Yan was left speechless.

"Any last words?" Lin Wan looked indifferently at Ah State.

"Don't kill him!" An Yan shouted.

Lin Wan turned around, seeing An Yan hurriedly say, "I have evidence of Ah State's crimes. I can bring him to justice!"

Lin Wan smirked at An Yan's conflicted and flickering expression, "Your feelings for Cheng Yi are not even as strong as a colleague who only met him once."

Pain flashed across An Yan's face, but her eyes betrayed her concern for Ah State.

"Are you a cop?" Ah State blinked, incredulous, "You want to kill me?"

Lin Wan glanced at An Yan, her anger towards Ah State deepening, "I don't just want to kill you. I want to perform Soul Extraction and Refining on you, leave your Divine Soul to suffer in front of Cheng Yi's grave for a hundred years!"

Before Ah State could understand what Lin Wan meant, he felt a darkness sweep over him, and he fell over.

"Ah State!"

An Yan couldn't help but cry out, rushing to Ah State's side, only to see a transparent shadow, identical to Ah State, emerge from his body.

"Ah State?"

The transparent Ah State blinked, looked at An Yan, then at his own body on the ground, shocked, "Am I dead?"

The next moment, a suction force pulled the transparent Ah State into a small glass ball in Lin Wan's hand.

"Ahhh!!!"

Ah State's screams came from the small glass ball.

"Inside is a cluster of Soul-Refining Divine Fire, a wisp of Soul-devouring Gang Wind, a strand of Soul-slaying Sword Qi, and a Soul-annihilating Thunderbolt."

A clear voice sounded from behind Lin Wan, and An Yan looked up to see a handsome, clean-cut man emerge. "There's also a mass of Nourishing Spirit Cloud in there, so your Divine Soul won't perish. A hundred years are probably out of reach, maybe just ninety-nine years, to pick a luckier number."

Lin Wan nodded, "These ninety-nine years, I'll bury you underground in front of Cheng Yi's grave, letting him witness you being tormented; this is what you owe him."

"I owe him nothing!" Ah State's voice came from the glass ball, shrill, "Kill me! Immortal beings, please, kill me!"

"No, you owe him!" Lin Wan said as she looked not at Ah State but at An Yan.

An Yan trembled all over, looking at Lin Wan and Lu Zheng with eyes full of shock and fear, "You... you... are Immortals?"

The scene before her shattered her worldview, making her feel like she was dreaming.

"So what if we're Immortals?"

"Then... can you... can you bring Cheng Yi back to life?" An Yan's lips quivered.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, her expression relaxing slightly, but Lu Zheng gave An Yan a playful look, "Do you really want Cheng Yi to come back? Are you sure you can face him now?"

An Yan's pupils shrank, at a loss for words.

Lin Wan squinted her eyes, but Lu Zheng chuckled, "I'll give you a choice: bring Cheng Yi back to life or stop Ah State from suffering, brainwash him to reform, and quit his evil ways. Choose one."

"Ahhhh! An Yan! Help me! I beg you! Help me! I'll quit my evil ways! I'll never do evil again! I want to have a child with you!"

Ah State's screams echoed from the glass ball, making An Yan involuntarily scoot back across the floor until she reached the bed, her eyes filled with terror, "I won't choose, I won't choose! Please, don't do this, don't do this!"

Lin Wan ground her teeth, "You're not worthy to be Cheng Yi's girlfriend!"

Both of them realized that An Yan's intent to gather evidence of Ah State's crimes might have been a cover to avenge Cheng Yi, by getting close to Ah State.

However... she ended up falling in love with her enemy in the process of seeking revenge.

If Cheng Yi found out, he'd probably jump out of the grave. Even if she didn't avenge him and moved on, Cheng Yi wouldn't want her to be in danger. But what kind of madness is it to fall in love with the enemy?

"I didn't want to, I didn't want to!" An Yan shook her head painfully, "Love is uncontrollable."

This sentiment almost made Lin Wan swear. What kind of logic is this? Stockholm syndrome?

Lu Zheng pursed his lips, then shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity. Her crime doesn't warrant death, and killing her would release her from her suffering. It's better to let her forget about all this during the day."

"No!" An Yan looked up abruptly. She didn't want to forget Cheng Yi and definitely didn't want to forget Ah State.

"Do you think I'll simply let you forget everything and start over? You're overthinking it."

Lu Zheng said flatly, "I'll make you forget everything during the day when you're awake, but nightmares will haunt you. Every night when you sleep, you'll dream of all these events. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Moreover, I've added some extra spice.

You'll dream of your past life with Cheng Yi, of the scene where he was shot in the head and his ashes scattered by Ah State, and you'll dream of the tragic scenes of the officers and innocent people who were killed by Ah State.

Every night, you'll experience these scenes once, but once you wake up, you'll remember nothing except having had a nightmare. Until you enter the dream again, you'll recall what you face every day with Cheng Yi and everything.

Since you've chosen betrayal, claiming love is uncontrollable, I hope your love for this Ah State gives you the courage to face these scenes."

"Since you've fallen for this scumbag, you must bear his karma." Lu Zheng said coldly, "This is the price you should pay."

"No!!!"
