“Handsome, my drain is clogged. Can you help me clear it?”
Her eyes were like silk, her fingers twirling her hair, her posture enchanting.
“Oh, my husband is always on business trips and never home. What a useless man.”
Qi Xiao sensed Ren Laotaiye, controlling him to jump out of room 201.
“Madam, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
Qi Xiao spoke to the woman, taking a step back, his hand on the jie bracelet.
“I don’t have any experience clearing drains. What if I accidentally break yours?”
“Hehehehe.”
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, gradually becoming more unrestrained, laughing until she swayed like a flower in the wind:
“You’re quite confident in your little ‘tool,’ aren’t you?”
“Of course.”
With a squelch, Ren Laotaiye’s finger pierced the woman’s neck.
Qi Xiao pulled out his rifle and started shooting at the woman.
Bullets tore through the woman’s chest, exploding into a mist of blood.
Yet, the woman’s expression was one of extreme pleasure, completely devoid of pain.
Physical attack ineffective?
Then, tentacles emerged from her eyes.
Her nostrils, her ears, her navel—all the ‘holes’ in her body were sprouting tentacles.
Those tentacles quickly wrapped around Ren Laotaiye’s body, and he couldn’t break free no matter how he struggled.
In less than five seconds, Ren Laotaiye was enveloped by the tentacles, forming a pink cocoon.
At the same time, Qi Xiao’s link with Ren Laotaiye in his mind became increasingly blurry until it broke.
Run!
Qi Xiao decisively put away his rifle, lifted his leg, and ran downstairs.
Those tentacles followed closely, squirming after him.
Upon reaching the first floor, Qi Xiao shouted:
“Open the door!”
The Train door opened, and Qi Xiao leaped into the Train, closing the door behind him.
Activating dynamic concealment, the Train entered stealth mode.
10:47.
The earliest departure is 11:00. He just needed to hold on for thirteen minutes!
He was careless. He shouldn’t have renovated the kitchen first. He should have saved the train coins to renovate for an early departure!
He was still short three train coins. Where the hell was he going to find three train coins?
The pink tentacles arrived late. At the same time, a thick tentacle crawled down the stairs.
Followed by a second, then a third.
More tentacles emerged from the stairwell, wrapping around Qi Xiao’s Train from all directions.
One tentacle peeled onto the Train window, and on it was the woman’s head.
She was staring at Qi Xiao through the window.
“No, she can find me even when I’m invisible?”
The glass of room 401 shattered, and three tentacles, over a meter thick, stretched out.
These three tentacles also wrapped around Qi Xiao’s Train, and together with the other tentacles, they lifted the Train directly into the air.
Just like a child picking up a toy Train, she slammed it hard onto the ground.
Accompanied by a whooshing sound, the strong wind from the falling Train kicked up dust from the ground.
Just as the Train was about to hit the ground, a flash of white light appeared, and the Train vanished.
The tentacles, grasping at empty air, angrily slapped the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Then, these tentacles began to retract, and the woman, naked, walked back into the old, dilapidated building.
Behind her, another white light shone, and a yellow Train appeared.
This Train had five carriages, and the locomotive was orange, with an overall color scheme resembling a small yellow duck.
The door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.
“Oh, oh, good thing we made it!”
Xia Yuwan clapped her hands happily when she saw the woman.
Both of them wore identical black uniforms and long boots, and large-brimmed hats.
“There are surprisingly many guests today.”
The woman licked her lips, and more pink mist erupted from her body.
“Oh, big sister’s figure is really good!”
Xia Yuwan leaned close to the woman: “Big sister, how do you usually maintain yourself?”
“By eating men.”
“Then, big sister, have you eaten a man today? If not, you can eat him!”
Xia Yuwan pointed at Bu Zhihuo Mao.
A tentacle shot out from beneath the woman, wrapping around Xia Yuwan.
She glanced at the uniquely shaped silver hat badge on Xia Yuwan’s large-brimmed hat.
“Order Heavenly Kingdom…”
“Among everyone in the New World, I hate the Order Heavenly Kingdom the most!”
Although the tentacles tightened their grip, Xia Yuwan still wore a bright smile on her face.
“Big sister, the one who sealed you here has already passed away. You must have sensed it, right?”
“You’ve guarded the treasure chest for three rounds. You’ve worked hard.”
“So, you two alone think you can kill me?”
Another tentacle shot out, striking at Bu Zhihuo Mao.
Bu Zhihuo Mao gripped the air with his right hand, and a long saber burning with black and red flames appeared in his hand.
With one slash, the tentacle’s cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.
The next moment, Bu Zhihuo Mao’s figure appeared behind the woman.
One second later, the woman’s head rolled to the ground.
The tentacles wrapped around Xia Yuwan also slowly loosened, and the woman’s corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
“Of course, the two of us can’t kill big sister, so we brought the demonic saber that can subdue big sister—Inazuma.”
“Be careful, the scent is still there.”
Bang, bang, bang!
Giant tentacles shot out from room 401 one after another, covered in strange organs.
Those organs opened and closed, spewing out pink mist.
A flush quickly appeared on Xia Yuwan’s face.
Bu Zhihuo Mao raised his long saber, his eyes completely black.
“Inazuma—Karma!”
Overwhelming black and red flames swept out from the blade, and the pink mist vanished upon contact.
After all the mist was incinerated, the flames clung to the tentacles like maggots to bone.
The tentacles were extremely afraid of these flames, directly severing themselves to prevent the flames from spreading to their true body.
Bu Zhihuo Mao, carrying the demonic saber, cut his way up to the fourth floor and arrived at room 401.
After he cut off the main body with one slash, all the tentacles turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind.
“Hey! The treasure chest is in room 601. Thanks for your hard work! I won’t go up!”
Xia Yuwan cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted to Bu Zhihuo Mao.
Three minutes later, Bu Zhihuo Mao emerged, carrying a zombie.
“The silver coin is gone. The entire treasure chest is gone.”
“Huh?”
Xia Yuwan seemed to have misheard something.
“Someone took the treasure chest before us. This zombie must have been left behind by that person.”
“Let’s ask the magic mirror.”
Xia Yuwan pulled out a mirror from somewhere and handed it to Bu Zhihuo Mao:
“You ask!”
Bu Zhihuo Mao frowned: “Why me?”
Xia Yuwan put her hands on her hips, chin raised.
“Killing the guardian and retrieving the silver coin is your task, not mine! I’m just here to recruit new people!”
Bu Zhihuo Mao reluctantly took the mirror. When both of them looked at the mirror together, he took a deep breath and slowly began:
“The one and only, omniscient and omnipotent, incomparable magic mirror, who is the master of this zombie puppet?”
The mirror surface rippled, and soon Qi Xiao’s face and the words ‘Qi Xiao’ appeared.
“Qi Xiao…he’s quite handsome, better looking than you.”
Xia Yuwan said to Bu Zhihuo Mao.
Bu Zhihuo Mao didn’t speak.
Five seconds later, the mirror surface began to ripple again.
Bu Zhihuo Mao unconsciously swallowed.
A line of text appeared on the mirror surface:
“Have you ever self-comforted by fantasizing about the woman beside you?”
As Xia Yuwan let out a disgusted “Ew~”, Bu Zhihuo Mao’s hanging heart finally died.
