Chapter 152: Ordinary pervert and extraordinary pervert

“!!!”

The moment he heard the sound, Wen Jianyan immediately held his breath, his tense body half-curled up, quietly hidden in the darkness.

Through the thin door, footsteps could be heard approaching nonchalantly.

It seemed…

There was only one person.

Based on the words spoken, it could be discerned that it was one of the personalities of No. 03.

Carrying a black rabbit, the young man walked step by step along the corridor.

Beside him, the walls, the carpet on the floor—everything became eerie and distorted.

“My little rabbit, have you hidden well? I’m coming to find you.”

The rabbit doll made of human scalp was held in his hand, blood dripping down from the crook of his arm. On the other hand, he played with a sharp knife, its keen edge glinting in the darkness.

A smile adorned the youth’s face, and within the depths of his pitch-black eyes flickered a neurotic light.

It wasn’t Niel.

Wen Jianyan pressed his hand against the door, rapidly thinking of possible escape routes.

Black-haired 03 liked to play hide and seek; maybe… he would be the first to find this place.

Activate the concealment prop?

It could be an option, but if he just “ran,” it might be a waste.

After entering this instance, Wen Jianyan had already activated concealment props several times. If he used them recklessly, it could be troublesome in the case of a more urgent crisis.

In the darkness, Wen Jianyan squinted his eyes, subconsciously rubbing his knuckles.

Carefully recalling…

Firstly, the last time he met black-haired 03, they were abruptly interrupted by 01 before his lie he told could be exposed.

In other words, the other hadn’t developed immunity to lies yet.

In the eerie silence, footsteps were slowly approaching from a distance.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Wen Jianyan felt every muscle in his body tensing up, sweat forming in the palms of his hands, and his heart pounding rapidly in his chest.

Secondly, from the last meeting, the revealed personality indicated that compared to Niel, who wanted to gouge out people’s eyeballs, and 04, who wanted to turn human bodies into art, the younger brother’s motive was to find a playmate, just with a violent and bloody approach.

The control value was high.

The difficulty wasn’t too great.

In his mind, Wen Jianyan replayed the scenario over and over, thinking about any potential flaws and refining it until he could foresee all possible outcomes.

Maybe… just maybe, it could succeed.

A vague thought formed in his mind.

Closer.

His heart pounded like a drum, and in the intervals between its beats, Wen Jianyan listened, carefully distinguishing the distance between the footsteps and himself.

Soon, the footsteps stopped at the door.

The young man clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, stood up, and abruptly opened the door!

“!”

Outside the door, the black-haired youth’s hand hung in mid-air, his face showing surprise. It seemed he hadn’t expected someone to boldly and openly appear in front of him without hiding.

N0. 03 slightly widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the young man in front of him, stunned.

The room was shrouded in dim and ambiguous half-light.

“You finally came.”

The young man stood tall and slender, the hem of his skirt dragging carelessly on the floor. The delicate fabric’s edges had been torn by the owner’s rough movements during the previous running and hiding, creating a disheveled look. Shoulder straps hung down, revealing the graceful contours of his neck and shoulders.

He could hardly be mistaken for either gender.

Tall and broad-shouldered, his well-proportioned frame was covered in thin muscles, but his skin revealed a slightly pale tone from prolonged lack of sunlight. Blue veins meandered beneath the thin skin, emitting a hint of warmth.

The masculine traits were diluted by the feminine attire but not entirely concealed.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

Wen Jianyan stared at the face of the youth with intense concentration, speaking earnestly and softly.

He leaned in, in a space woven from silk, ribbons, and soft fabrics. In the dimness, the amber eyes held a vibrant, flickering flame, a sincerity that possessed an irresistible, genuinely trusting magic.

With the handsome face close at hand, the sound of fabric rubbing echoed in his ears, and a refreshing, plant-like bitterness lingered in his nose.

No. 03 felt dizzy for a moment, turning his head in a daze, and his face involuntarily flushed.

“You, you were waiting for me?”

“Yes.”

Wen Jianyan nodded without hesitation, smiling gently. “I told you, we are friends, right?”

“I also promised you that I would stay and play games with you, didn’t I?”

He leaned closer.

“So, I’ve been waiting for you to come and save me.”

“We can play games together; we will forever be together.”

“Forever?”

As the distance between them shortened, the warmth of the human body approached, and the temperature of the skin spread through the thin fabric.

No. 03, as if thirsty, parted his lips, his intense gaze fixed on Wen Jianyan, confused and anxious, with a weak and husky voice.

“…Forever.”

The young man leaned forward and said:

“So, if someone wants to take me away… like your brother, you will protect me, won’t you?”

His voice was soft, with a hint of well-controlled tenderness, intimate and bewitching.

The blood-stained black rabbit had somehow been dropped on the ground.

“Yes, yes.”

No.03 stared wide-eyed, joy bursting in the depths of his eyes.

He gazed at the young man with a trance-like expression, nodding faintly. His face burned hot, carrying a hypnotized look, as he reached out to encircle the slender waist of the young man, burying himself in the dream woven from gorgeous fabric.

Like a little wolf cub baring its sharp teeth, fiercely guarding its most precious prey, he tightly embraced him:

“You are my little rabbit, and I won’t let anyone take you away.”

In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:

[…]

[…]

[I swear, I, I, I… even through the screen, my face is turning red, help!]

[Damn, he’s completely being manipulated!!!]

[Hahaha, No. 03 is just like a super easily deceived little puppy! Being deceived once is not enough, so he was being deceived for the second time—how pitiful!]

[The virgin little brother is being played around by the seductive big sister; hilarious!]

[Hahaha, the summary in the comments is too vivid! It can be directly substituted!]

No. 03 buried his head in the crook of Wen Jianyan’s neck, incessantly sniffing.

After all, he had the physique of a Westerner, and even though he hadn’t fully grown yet, his imposing presence remained undiminished.

“What’s your name?” Wen Jianyan embraced the other’s shoulders, asking gently.

“Lor.”

03 muttered.

The next second, a familiar system announcement sounded in his ears.

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the mission: Find the real name of ???

Reward points: 500】

Got it.

A smirk appeared at the corner of Wen Jianyan’s lips.

At that moment, footsteps gradually approached from the far end of the corridor.

Lor suddenly lifted his head, his gaze turning sinister as he twisted his head in the direction of the approaching sound.

If, just a moment ago, Lor pouncing onto Wen Jianyan was like an excited tail-wagging puppy, now he resembled a ferocious dog that had caught the scent of an enemy, once again becoming wild and paranoid:

“Niel…”

He turned his head, rubbing against Wen Jianyan in a daze, making a rumbling sound in his throat. “Little rabbit, hide well. I’ll be back soon after dealing with that guy.”

In the corridor.

The youth, with the white rabbit in his arms, walked slowly. In the chaotic and narrow passage filled with madness and mixture, his pure white appearance and deep blue eyes seemed out of place.

Soon, Niel stopped in his tracks.

He gazed at Lor, who emerged from a nearby door, a smile playing on his lips. “Hello.”

“Get lost.”

Black-haired youth held a sharp knife, his gaze fierce.

“It seems you found him, right?”

Seeing Lor’s appearance, Niel’s smile deepened. “You never hide your intentions.”

“So what?” Lor squinted his dark eyes. “Whoever finds him first gets him.”

“Too bad, I disagree.”

The white-haired, blue-eyed Niel approached with a mysterious gleam in his eyes.

“Well, let me rephrase it.” Black-haired Niel pulled a neurotic smile. “Whoever is stronger gets to claim him.”

Niel glanced at the half-open door not far behind Lor.

The unmistakable scent of a human emanated from it.

No. 04 was fixed in place and unable to move, and No. 01 was a brainless mad dog. It was impossible for them to find Lor—truth be told, if it weren’t for his brother’s terrifying intuition in finding people, Niel doubted anyone would have located the place before him.

However… it also confirmed that the little rabbit indeed belonged to them.

“Well then, I do have an obligation to teach you, little brother. Don’t mess with Big Brother’s things.”

Niel smiled, wolf-like fierceness flashing in his eyes.

***

Wen Jianyan was running down the corridor.

He had used two items: aside from the concealment robe, he had purchased another item from a B-level shop. It was a puppet that could emit Anchor’s aura, lasting for one minute. Although E-level shops had similar items, for safety reasons, he opted for the higher-grade B-level item.

Longer duration and better effects.

So, while the two brothers thought he was still locked in the room, Wen Jianyan put on the concealment robe and escaped in the opposite direction.

His movements were light, and his presence was not only concealed but also replaced by the puppet, minimizing the chance of being discovered.

Although the corridor had become distorted due to the intrusion of a new high-risk patient, the thick carpet on the floor still existed, effortlessly absorbing the footsteps and leaving no trace behind.

Wen Jianyan turned his head to check the taskbar next to him, and he saw that the required task points for clearance had reached five thousand.

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Just accumulate another five thousand, and he would be able to clear the level!

If the other bosses were as easily deceived as Lor, then his clearance would be straightforward, perhaps not even requiring platinum achievements!

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a violent banging sound echoed.

Wen Jianyan abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He held his breath, standing still and looking in the direction of the sound.

A room not far away had its door wide open, and the door panels were full of horrifying marks, as if they were on the verge of collapsing under overwhelming violence.

“Sizzle—”

A piercing and familiar dragging sound emerged.

The next moment, Edward walked out of the room.

In the narrow corridor, his robust physique, which appeared particularly strong even among Westerners, was vividly highlighted. Even from a distance, one could feel the overwhelming pressure.

His golden hair was disheveled, and his light blue eyes carried an impatient and irritable look as he stepped into the next room.

Edward lifted his long legs and kicked the next door open.

The deafening sound reverberated in the corridor.

In the “Integrity First” live stream room:

[Hahaha, so Edward is going room by room to search?]

[I’m dying of laughter; no wonder he hasn’t found anyone yet!]

[It’s really too simple and cute!]

Wen Jianyan concealed himself in the darkness, holding his breath.

He bypassed Edward’s figure and looked toward a nearby location—just behind Edward, there was a staircase leading downstairs.

If 01 and 03 invaded 04’s mental space using similar methods, then downstairs should have a large opening leading to the outside.

Passing through the hall and then through the opening, the danger he faced would be significantly reduced—

Wen Jianyan held his obstructive clothes with one hand and quietly, stealthily moved in the direction.

The concealment robe not only obscured his form but also, to a certain extent, reduced his presence and sound to the point of being almost unnoticed.

As long as he was cautious and careful, there was a high probability that he wouldn’t be discovered.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Wen Jianyan held his breath, minimizing every sound he could make, sticking close to the wall farthest from Edward, silently and slowly moving forward.

Soon, the distance between the two narrowed.

Wen Jianyan could almost smell the lingering scent of blood emanating from the other, still not completely dissipated. He could clearly see, under the thin hospital gown, the bulging and robust muscles, like a meticulously trained killing machine capable of easily crushing a human skull.

“…”

Be careful and be quiet.

Quiet, quiet.

Wen Jianyan pressed against the wall, inching slowly and cautiously passing by the other party.

In the “Integrity First” live broadcat room:

[Ahhhhh, help, it’s so nerve-wracking! I’m so nervous!]

[Me too, me too!]

[Damn, I can’t tell if I want the anchor to be caught or not. I always feel like even if he’s caught, he’ll find a way to escape!]

[A friendly reminder to everyone watching the screen, you can breathe.]

Suddenly, the lightly golden eyelashes of the man lifted without any warning. It seemed like he sensed something. The light blue eyes turned slowly, sweeping in the direction where Wen Jianyan was.

In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:

[???]

[!!!!]

[Ahhhhhh, was he discovered? I don’t believe it, help!]

[It’s impossible! He’s wearing the concealment robe! Everyone, don’t panic; I think it’s fine!]

[Wait a minute… I suddenly remembered something. In the confinement room, didn’t the anchor use the Concealment Robe once?]

[Damn, I remember too. At that time, the anchor didn’t do anything; he didn’t make a sound, but he was still…]

Wen Jianyan also recalled something.

In an instant, his heart felt like it was tightly squeezed by a hand, a strong sense of panic instantly rushing over him.

Oh no.

He forgot. Even though this guy, Edward, was not as intelligent as Niel and 04, perhaps to compensate for that, had a nearly beast-like terrifying intuition.

He almost suffered a mishap in the confinement room!!!

Wen Jianyan’s ears buzzed, and he no longer cared whether he made any noise. Without hesitation, he quickened his pace, directly running along the corridor!

He clenched his teeth.

Damn it, forget it, just run first!

In the swaying and shaking vision, the open staircase gradually approached, and the dimness was replaced by brightness—

Getting closer! Almost there!

Wen Jianyan gritted his teeth and rushed down the stairs—

But just as he stepped on a section of the stairs, a strong, iron-like arm reached around his waist, pulling him backward! The next second, a strong sense of weightlessness came, and Wen Jianyan felt like he was flying in the air. He was tall, not light, but it was as if he had no weight and was easily lifted off the ground.

“—Damn!”

A suppressed curse squeezed out from between the young man’s teeth.

Whether it was anger or the sudden sense of weightlessness, Wen Jianyan felt dizzy, and his blood surged. He wished he could punch this damn mad dog.

Damn it!

I was about to get away!

The long arm encircled the void, as if imprisoning a struggling, transparent figure. Although it couldn’t be seen, the touch in his embrace was indeed vivid.

The blond-haired man smiled with delight, revealing sharp, white canine teeth.

“Darling, I caught you.”

“Although I can’t see, but…”

Edward blinked.

He easily held the other captive in his arms, using his other hand to knead in the void, seemingly confirming the outline of the other:

“You’re in there, aren’t you?”

“F*ck!” Wen Jianyan was so angry that his vision darkened.

To prevent the other from continuing to grope, he had to take the initiative to cancel the concealment robe he had put on.

The next second, his figure appeared in the void.

Edward paused, lowering his head to look at the person in his arms.

The young man’s face turned red, and a pair of amber eyes sparkled with angry light.

The dress was disheveled, the fluffy skirt adorned with satin, all made of extremely luxurious materials, shimmering with a fine dark light, spreading out like petals, accentuating a slender waist as if it were only one handful.

It was red.

It was an extremely beautiful, dazzling red dress.

“…”

Edward was stunned.

In his gaze, there was a kind of intense, almost eager desire, as if a traveler trekking through a desert seeing water, a strong sense of shock and longing.

“So beautiful.”

He murmured.

“…?”

Wen Jianyan was stunned, and before he could figure out what the other was saying, he felt a dizzying sensation. After a whirlwind rotation, he realized that his whole body was pushed against the wall.

His spine slammed into the hard, cold wall, making a loud “bang” sound. It seemed like his internal organs had shifted, and Wen Jianyan’s eyes went black as he suppressed a groan, biting down on it.

“So beautiful.”

Edward stared at him with fanaticism, praising him softly and wildly.

“…”

Wen Jianyan could only tilt his head backward, feeling the other’s gaze making his scalp numb.

Compared to when he was staring at the fresh red viscera flowing from his abdomen, Edward’s current gaze was more intense.

However, this gaze… was just too familiar.

Since entering this instance, Wen Jianyan had seen it more than once—Lor when just hugging him and 04 when pulling up his stockings—both of them had shown similar expressions.

Passionate, crazy, and out of control.

Damn it.

If he was only a regular pervert before, now he has turned into… a pervert with intentions toward him.

“!!!”

Damn it!

This development doesn’t seem right at all!!!

Wen Jianyan felt a chill on his spine, an impulse to escape rising from his feet. He began to struggle desperately, but he was lightly held down by the other, seemingly effortlessly.

“Rip—”

In the struggle, the fragile satin emitted a severe tearing sound as the soft fabric piled up.

“03 just said something interesting.”

Edward lowered his eyes, focusing on the slender leg that hung down to his waist.

The soft, flowing fabric swallowed most of the skin, reflecting a pearl-like luster under the light.

“I only felt he was annoying at the time. What’s the point of talking about whether to wear something or not? Compared to colors, these things have no meaning.”

Edward’s voice was hoarse, his gaze dark, and, as if enchanted, it carried a bit of near trance-like infatuation.

He reached out and gripped Wen Jianyan’s thigh.

The man’s palm was large, easily enclosing the slender leg in his palm. The scorching warmth of his palm pressed against the skin, easily penetrating the fabric.

The tightly stretched leg trembled slightly, and the muscles under the thin skin suddenly tightened.

“Now… it does seem…”

“Quite interesting.”

Edward chuckled softly, and the vibrations from his chest were easily conveyed.

He bit Wen Jianyan’s ear and said, “I don’t like women, and I don’t like men. All humans are just vessels for colors.”

“I remember that poisonous snake saying you liked someone like me?”

The man gazed at the young man with passionate blue eyes, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down. His voice was husky, “Darling, what a coincidence; I think I’ve also fallen for you too.”

He raised his hand, pinching the young man’s excessively slender waist in a measured, weighing tone, saying, “Well, you better gain a bit more weight.”

Edward’s blue eyes seemed to be burning.

He stared at Wen Jianyan with a gaze that seemed capable of devouring a person:

“I don’t want you to be unable to withstand it.”

“…”

Wen Jianyan struggled to breathe.

In his blurred vision, not far away, under the stairs, No. 04’s cold, murderous gray eyes were fixedly watching everything that was happening.

He had an expressionless face, but his gaze was terrifying.

Damn it.

It doesn’t matter.

Wen Jianyan gritted his teeth, raised his finger, and opened the live broadcast interface in the air.
