Facing the impressive capital of the [Servant], Lin Anyi tried to maintain his psychological defense, even though the challenge of reality made it difficult for him to look directly at it. He turned his head away, unwilling to face the suffocating truth.
"This, this..." His voice was weak and almost choked. "Of course, it's Funina who is good..."
Lin Anyi gritted his teeth to defend his girlfriend, even though he knew in his heart how powerless and ridiculous this defense seemed under the current circumstances.
Alechino looked at his embarrassment and smiled even more. "You are lying~ Admit it, I am better than your girlfriend, right?"
Faced with the continuous provocation, Lin Anyi finally couldn't bear it anymore. His eyes widened. "Enough! They are just two meaningless pieces of fat, do you think I am afraid?!"
His voice was full of challenge and unyielding. Faced with such coercion, Lin Anyi was still unwilling to surrender. Perhaps he didn't expect that the [hard mouth] he thought was the most useless at the beginning had now become the last bastion in his heart. Although the facts were clear, Lin Anyi still refused to beg for mercy.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Alechino gradually lost her patience. Her voice was full of determination. "Don't worry, Anyi, I will give you enough time to feel the amazing gap between me and Funina."
Alechino's movements were very steady, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife. She obviously did not intend to give Lin Anyi any chance to breathe. She quickly approached and forced Lin Anyi back to the wall at the head of the bed, completely blocking his retreat.
"Anyi, your willpower is indeed impressive," Alechino's voice was low and seductive, like the cold wind in the night—both cold and full of temptation. "But I am curious about how long you can hold on."
As soon as the voice fell, she quickly took action and held Lin Anyi's head firmly with both hands, making him unable to move. At this moment, Lin Anyi could only watch Alechino's face gradually approaching. His breathing began to quicken, and his heartbeat accelerated.
Then, Alechino's face moved closer, and Lin Anyi felt a sense of oppression and suffocation quickly surge into his heart. He tried to struggle, but could only make vague "Mmmmm" sounds. Any words became weak and ineffective.
Under Alechino's control, Lin Anyi felt that his resistance seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. His eyes were full of helplessness and fear, and his heart was full of struggle and contradiction at this moment.
Alechino was in complete control of the situation. Her expression showed a sense of pride and satisfaction, and she was obviously enjoying this feeling of control. The lights in the bedroom flickered, seeming to indicate that what was happening in this bedroom was not simple.
However, the curtains were tightly closed, and no matter how many people passed by, they couldn't get a glimpse of the beautiful scenery inside the bedroom.
_______________
Time seemed to have lost its meaning in this confrontation. Alechino, who had always considered herself an invincible Fatui executive, was now panting beside the bed. She quietly turned her head, her eyes drifting to the twilight outside the window. Disbelief surged in her heart, and she was afraid that Lin Anyi beside her would notice her somewhat depressed look.
"How, how could this be?" Alechino's doubts surged like a tide. She had always thought she was in control of the situation, but she didn't expect things to develop to this point.
After three consecutive rounds, Lin Anyi still maintained that steadfast and unyielding attitude. And she, who had always been strong, now felt an unprecedented weakness. Her legs were weak, and she could hardly support her body.
At this moment, Alechino could not help but doubt her own judgment. Was it not her fault that Funina had become so weak now? Alechino's hesitation and uneasiness in her heart continued to intensify, and she did not realize that Lin Anyi, who was opposite her, was also trembling with fear.
In that fierce duel, Lin Anyi had used his special skill, [Turning Clouds and Rain], to launch continuous critical strikes, with luck so good even he could not believe it. Once this skill triggers a critical strike, its power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Even Funina, who could usually hold on for three minutes, immediately convulsed and surrendered when the critical strike was triggered. Facing Alechino, a powerful opponent, despite being hit several times in a row, she did not lie down. This made Lin Anyi re-evaluate her strength in his heart.
In this situation, both of them had a certain misjudgment of each other's abilities.
Despite feeling guilty, with the help of [Hard-Mouthed], Lin Anyi still took the initiative to provoke without hesitation:
"Heh, didn't you say you wanted to show the amazing gap between you and Funina? Why is this the result? I didn't see any gap either. I thought it was very fierce~"
In the previous confrontation, if Alechino had maintained a stable mentality, she would definitely not care about such ridicule and would respond with stronger fighting spirit.
However, at this moment, after seeing how terrifying Lin Anyi's strength was, Alechino couldn't help but bite her lip lightly. An unprecedented sense of frustration surged in her heart.
As a well-known Fatui executive, her physical strength may have reached its limit, but her pride and self-esteem would never allow her to show any signs of weakness in front of Lin Anyi.
With this thought in mind, Alechino tried to hide her tiredness. She wiped her body and changed the subject:
"No, it's better to wash first. It's really troublesome to have mysophobia."
Alechino tried to keep her voice relaxed, using the excuse of mysophobia to cover up her uneasiness.
"You stay here. I'll go take a shower first."
After saying that, she used her [Flame Chain] skill to tie Lin Anyi tightly, ensuring he couldn't move. Then, Alechino walked towards the bathroom quickly, as if she were escaping from the battlefield.
Although her steps were fast, they inevitably revealed a trace of trembling and fatigue.
Lin Anyi watched Alechino's hurried departure and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A sense of unprecedented relief washed over him. He whispered to himself, reflecting on the battle just now:
"It seems that the effect of [Turning Clouds and Rain] is really useful."
As his thoughts flew, he recalled the days when he was constantly punished by Alechino in the simulation training. In those simulations, he had suffered such long punishments from Alechino. Of course, he knew very well what her strength was, and there was obviously a big gap compared to now.
"Wait a minute." Lin Anyi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something.
"If I had not chosen to rest these days but insisted on participating in simulation training every day and reaping rewards, would the results have been different?"
