Chapter 52 Rapture, Frenzied Dance
“Huh? Lianbing? How c-”
I stared blankly at Lianbing, who was walking towards me, my thoughts coming to a standstill.
She still had that smiling, composed demeanor, but I was utterly bewildered.
This was Black Street, not a place one could just enter at will, and the exit should have been blocked by that ghost. Could it be…
“I’ll listen to whatever happened later, but first, can you put ‘those two’ you’re holding down?”
“Huh?”
Those two? She meant… what was I holding?
Xueqing and Yuhui, two beautiful and cute young girls.
What was the current situation?
To describe it objectively, a girl with her upper body unclothed was in my arms, her face flushed red and unconscious.
The other girl, whose clothes were lifted to expose her belly, was also in my arms. We had just shared several wet kisses, and before Lianbing arrived, I was about to lick her side… and Lianbing might have seen all of it.
I was definitely misunderstood.
I pursed my lips, put on a strange smile, and tilted my head to look at Lianbing.
Lianbing looked back at me with a dangerous smile.
“What? Are you unwilling? Are those two so important? You can’t bear to let them go? Hmm, hehehe?”
“Uh, no, that, Lianbing, it’s really not what you think! Listen to me exp-”
As I said that reflexively, I knew I was finished.
‘It’s not what you think’ and ‘Let me explain’… weren’t these the standard death Flags for a scumbag!
I never thought I’d survive a killer and die by my girlfriend’s hand!
“Oh? Should I unreasonably say ‘I won’t listen! I won’t listen!’?”
“…”
You could try that, it might be quite cute.
Of course, I only dared to think it. If I said that in front of Lianbing, I’d probably be executed on the spot.
“N-no, they, they’re injured…”
“Injured and you have to hold them?”
“Since Jun Cheng is so compassionate, why not start a ‘hug club’ and open your arms to everyone, giving them a warm embrace? Isn’t that better? Hehehe.”
“Ah… I’m not so low as to take advantage of people under the guise of a charitable club.”
“Oh? Then how about a ‘kiss club’? Spreading saliva and making mucous membrane contact, but you might accidentally contract AIDS (laughs).”
Her venomous tongue was in full effect.
At this moment, I suddenly understood how the male protagonists in Harem anime felt when misunderstood. This feeling of explanation being useless, no matter how hard you tried, was truly exasperating.
“So, Cheng… how, long, are, you, going, to, hold, them…?”
Lianbing spat out each word, narrowing her eyes and revealing a smile like Fudo Myo-ō. The ends of her curly hair seemed to float as if due to some invisible, mysterious force field.
I’m do-one, do-one, do-one, done!
Her title had turned orange!
She was furious!
I didn’t know how she got into Black Street, but her timing was too coincidental. It was like she had come to catch me cheating.
But it was good she didn’t come earlier, or she might have been caught up in that fight with the killers.
While it was good that she missed the fight and wasn’t drawn into the struggle, this sudden appearance wasn’t good news for me.
Imagine, if I were Lianbing, and my boyfriend didn’t show up to his birthday party, didn’t answer calls or texts, and when I finally went to look for him, I saw him holding and kissing two disheveled girls.
Well, anyone would want to kill.
Besides, it was already incredible that her title turned orange and not directly red this time.
This meant there was still hope of convincing her!
That’s right, if I explained the whole story from beginning to end, Lianbing would surely understand me!
“Um, Lianbing, let’s go somewhere else to talk. I’ll explain everything properly.”
I met her gaze, not looking away, believing she could see it.
“If I lie to you, I’ll hand over the corpse to you on the spot.”
Although she still looked reluctant, she seemed to grudgingly accept my proposal.
She knew I wouldn’t lie, so when she saw me look her in the eye without flinching, she knew I had no guilt in my heart.
…Did I pass, barely?
So, is a girlfriend’s jealousy this dangerous? It made me break out in a cold sweat.
“Then Lianbing, come help me support Xueqing. I’ll carry Yu… hmm, Bai-senpai.”
“No.”
I originally thought Lianbing was refusing, but then I realized the voice was Xueqing’s.
She refused?
Never mind, this wasn’t the time to dwell on that.
“Uh, then let’s switch, I’ll carry…”
I was interrupted before I could finish. “No.”
This time, it was Lianbing who answered.
She looked at Xueqing with cold eyes, rejecting my suggestion… It seemed she didn’t want me to carry Xueqing. No, she probably wanted me to leave her on the spot.
Just as I was at a loss, Xueqing in my arms suddenly did something that made my jaw drop.
She suddenly reached out, cupped my cheeks, and kissed me right in front of Lianbing!
Meow meow meow meow? ?? .
It wasn’t just a normal kiss; she had learned from the previous experience and applied it. Her learning ability was quite strong.
No! Holy crap!
I quickly tilted my head back, trying to separate our lips, but Xueqing had no intention of letting go. No matter how far I tilted my head back, she followed, and finally, she even stood up and pressed down on me to kiss me.
All her saliva was transferred to my mouth. What the hell!
This time, I’m truly finished!
After a long while, Xueqing reluctantly parted her lips. I gasped for breath and was about to turn to look at Lianbing when Xueqing turned my face back.
“Jun Cheng, it hurts.”
“Huh?”
“I can’t lick it myself.”
“Uh, didn’t I help you lick it earlier… Mhmm!”
I was going to say “Didn’t I help you lick it earlier?” but I immediately realized saying that in front of Lianbing would be bad, so I quickly shut my mouth.
But Xueqing wasn’t done with me yet. She continued to pull at my clothes and said.
“Coincidence.”
“I told you, that’s not a phrase to use in this situation!”
Wait, wait a minute!
With Lianbing right here, how could I possibly continue to lick your wound!
Besides, didn’t I finish dealing with it earlier!
“Heh heh… You little cheating cat, you really dare to do it?”
Cold sweat started to ooze from my back, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
Unlike Lanhua’s clingy and uncomfortable gaze, Lianbing’s gaze made me feel utterly cold.
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
Xueqing stared back at Lianbing, unyieldingly, her expressionless face carrying an unusual sense of defiance. When facing those dangerous killers earlier, her heart had been as calm as completing a given task, but when facing Lianbing, she had injected her own emotions.
…I was called out.
Like a broken robot, I creaked my head around, forcing a smile at Lianbing.
Her face still held a smile, but it had frozen. She tilted her head, looking troubled. Her title flickered frequently, its content and color in utter chaos, a true representation of ‘mixed feelings.’
“Yes, Young Miss! What are your orders!”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Can you give me a chance to start over?”
“Don’t worry, after I deal with a certain cheating cat, I’ll properly educate you with my body… Heh heh heh…”
Gulp.
I swallowed the saliva accumulating in my mouth. It was still sweet, but my heart was bitter.
Xueqing stood up and shielded me.
“I will protect Jun Cheng.”
“Heh heh, you dare say that? Someone like you, a disabled person, will only ruin Jun Cheng, won’t you?”
They were at each other’s throats, and I could only offer a wry laugh.
Looking at Lianbing’s title, which had turned completely red, I suddenly felt like this life was unlivable.
(No! Hurry and stop him!)
“Huh?”
‘S y,
命 SF Light Novel
A voice suddenly echoed in my mind. Was it my own voice?
Hurry and stop him? Stop… Lianbing? Do I look like I can stop Lianbing?
What am I saying… talking to myself, have I gone insane?
A gust of cold wind blew past me, making me shiver. I saw a black mass of aura drift past me and bizarrely fly towards Lianbing.
Lianbing and Xueqing didn’t seem to notice the black aura.
The black aura enveloped Lianbing, and the smile on her face disappeared. The hand holding her head moved to her forehead, and she lowered her head.
I couldn’t see her expression, but I saw her shadow begin to move freely!
The ‘shadow’ stretched its body, clenched and unclenched its fist, its mouth and eyes curving into a smile, seemingly satisfied.
Black aura, shadow, what did they signify?
I had seen something similar just recently… That’s right, when Yuhui placed the ghost warding talisman on Tong Jialin’s head, it was the ghost driven out of her!
A ghost dividing half of its soul and storing it within the host is a state of possession.
Was this half of that ghost’s soul!
I finally understood, but it was already too late.
“Hehehehehe.”
The same laughter, but a different tone.
This wasn’t Lianbing.
She threw her head back and laughed wildly. Lianbing’s original elegant demeanor was completely destroyed. Now, she felt like a mad killer.
That’s right, just like Ye Liusu.
[Necroph]
[Ye Liusu]
Her hair gradually turned white, and her pupils turned crimson red, completing her Oniification.
“Wonderful! It’s like being reborn! Better than my main body!”
[Necroph], [Necroph]
A single-word difference, distinguishing two beings.
The final killer, appearing in such an unexpected way.
Just when I thought everything was over, she made her sudden entrance.
