"Okay."
The Fishing Enthusiast returned to his previous state of being a man of few words. He glanced at Lin You, then silently walked to the side, squatting by the door with his arms wrapped around his knees, cosplaying a stone lion.
Lin You: ...
He looked speechlessly at the Fishing Enthusiast squatting at his doorstep. If the Food delivery guy saw him later, who knew what he would think.
"Go wait somewhere else, don't squat at my door."
"Okay."
The Fishing Enthusiast stood up, his eyes fixed on Lin You, and slowly retreated, his figure gradually merging into the darkness.
After the Fishing Enthusiast's figure completely disappeared, Lin You retracted his gaze.
Looking at the Bluefin Tuna in his hand, which was as long as he was tall and still struggling, Lin You suddenly found himself in a predicament.
Closing the door behind him, Lin You carried the Bluefin Tuna into the kitchen. He held a cleaver and gestured at the tuna's neck for a long time, but couldn't bring himself to make the cut.
He had no experience with gutting fish, let alone such a large one. If this fish spurted blood, it would be troublesome.
"Perhaps? I can do it this way?"
Lin You's left eye shimmered with golden light, and lines of information appeared above the Bluefin Tuna's head.
These were all the information that made up this fish.
Lin You extended his finger and gently fiddled with the information entry labeled 【Vitality】.
With a slight exertion of force, the Bluefin Tuna's 【Vitality】 was instantly extracted by Lin You. The remaining information began to twist and entangle, as if tied into an irregular dead knot by an invisible hand.
With 【Vitality】 extracted, the Bluefin Tuna's body instantly stiffened.
Afterward, to avoid trouble, Lin You also removed the 【Bleeding】 information entry from the Bluefin Tuna's corpse.
This way, when Lin You dissected the fish, he wouldn't have to worry about blood flowing everywhere.
Lin You had never handled this type of fish before, so his technique was not very skilled when dissecting this Bluefin Tuna.
Dividing the entire fish into several pieces of varying sizes, Lin You put the largest piece into the refrigerator, planning to give the rest to his neighbors.
After all, this thing was simply too big; his refrigerator couldn't hold it, and it would be a waste if left for too long, so he could only give it away.
Cutting a small piece and putting it in his mouth to taste, Lin You always felt that the fish the Fishing Enthusiast gave him tasted a bit different from what he had eaten before.
He couldn't say if it was delicious or not, just that it felt a bit strange.
When chewing the fish meat, it gave Lin You a "very chaotic" feeling.
Lin You guessed that this was most likely because the Fishing Enthusiast's fish was fresher.
...
"Ding-dong."
While Lin You was tidying up the kitchen, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
Lin You rinsed his hands with water, then walked to the living room and opened the door.
This time it was the Food delivery guy, because he rang the doorbell.
Lin You took the takeout from the Food delivery guy's hand and asked him to wait at the door, while he returned to the kitchen and took out a small piece of fish meat.
Lin You handed the fish meat to the Food delivery guy. Faced with this sudden generous gift, the Food delivery guy politely declined twice. Seeing that Lin You was sincere in wanting to give it to him, the Food delivery guy accepted it directly.
This kind of thing was not uncommon for Food delivery guys in the Magic City. The Food delivery guy had heard from a colleague while chatting that another colleague had received a 10,000 yuan tip for delivering food quickly.
...
Because he really didn't know what to eat, and it was too late to cook, Lin You only ordered one serving of braised chicken with rice for dinner tonight.
Although it was said online that takeout braised chicken was one of the dirtiest takeouts, Lin You didn't care much.
He could directly solve the problem of the braised chicken being dirty from the information level.
Golden light flowed in Lin You's left eye, and he quickly eliminated the negative effects in the braised chicken.
With so much information stored in his eyes, Lin You only felt a little awkward; otherwise, it had no negative impact on him whatsoever.
Lin You guessed that this was most likely because all this information was ordinary information. If this information were replaced with those twisted tadpole-like characters, Lin You would find it very difficult to sustain.
However, storing this information indefinitely was not a solution. Lin You had a premonition that he could only store this information for at most one day; after one day, it would dissipate.
Instead of letting them dissipate, it was better to use them.
Thinking this, Lin You's gaze turned to the sadness doll on the coffee table.
Touching the sadness doll with his finger, Lin You dumped all the information stored in his left eye onto it.
Under Lin You's gaze, the information above the sadness doll's head merged once again, but so far, the most prominent information entry for the sadness doll was still 【Sorrow】.
"Wuwuwu~"
"Wuwa T﹏T"
Hearing the faint crying sound in his ear, Lin You knew he had succeeded. The sadness doll had merged the information and now possessed the concept of 【Vitality】.
Although its vitality was very weak, it could still bother Lin You with its crying.
At least Lin You was already getting annoyed by the noise.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at the sadness doll in front of him.
"Stop crying, or I'll burn you."
As soon as Lin You finished speaking, the sadness doll's crying stopped abruptly.
Lin You noticed that the doll's entire body was trembling slightly; it seemed very afraid of him.
It made sense, as in the sadness doll's eyes, Lin You was a creator-like existence. Facing the creator's reprimand, fear was normal.
After Lin You finished eating, it was already very late. Under normal circumstances, nightlife would just be beginning at this time.
But ever since he transmigrated, Lin You rarely went out at night anymore.
Normal people, after coming into contact with these eerie things, would instinctively develop some fear of the night. Even though Lin You possessed special abilities that allowed him to detect eerie things in advance and see their essence, he instinctively didn't want to go out at night.
Being able to see them was one thing; being able to solve them was another.
Just like the Fishing Enthusiast he encountered today, if he truly wanted to kill Lin You, Lin You definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
However, from their previous interactions, putting aside the Fishing Enthusiast's essential information, he didn't seem very terrifying.
At least so far, the Fishing Enthusiast had not shown any strange characteristics, even though Lin You had made things difficult for him, his attitude towards Lin You remained indifferent.
Recalling it, from the moment he encountered the Fishing Enthusiast until now, the greatest impact Lin You experienced was actually at the very beginning, when he used his ability to look at the Fishing Enthusiast.
Thinking of this, Lin You suddenly looked at the pattern on the back of his left hand.
The light that had spread earlier due to observing the Fishing Enthusiast's information had completely retracted at some unknown point, and the pattern as a whole had dimmed, just like Lin You's normal state.
Regarding the research on the left-hand pattern, Lin You had also tested it two days ago. After the recent encounter with the Fishing Enthusiast, Lin You also roughly understood what the pattern represented.
When encountering and observing pollutants, the pattern on the back of Lin You's left hand would begin to spread. According to the intensity of the pollution, the extent of the pattern's spread would also differ.
This served as an early warning.
As for why the pattern didn't spread when Lin You encountered the Fishing Enthusiast, Lin You guessed it might be because the Fishing Enthusiast didn't release any pollution.
Otherwise, with the terrifying information entries of the Fishing Enthusiast, Lin You conservatively estimated that this neighborhood would likely not be saved.
