Chapter 18: She Was Like Two Different People in Reality
My head throbbed as if I had a hangover from a night of drinking. Everything felt hazy and groggy.
The memories from my dream were fading, leaving only a vague outline of what had happened. The details were becoming blurry and unclear.
For instance, I remembered being thoroughly violated by that female hooligan multiple times, but I’d forgotten exactly how many times, what it felt like, or what positions we’d been in.
*Hiss.* It felt like such a waste.
It should have been a pleasurable experience, yet I only remembered the pleasure itself, not the process.
Damn it!
I thought I’d finally had a spiritual awakening or something, but it turned out I’d lost all my experience points.
Still, maybe it was for the best. At least I wouldn’t have the mental burden of feeling like I’d cheated.
I’ll just pretend those dream events never happened.
For now, I should open my eyes. I don’t know where I am or what my current situation is in reality.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard the voices of Yu Hui and Teacher Lili arguing.
“Let go of me! Teacher! If you keep interfering, I’ll exorcise both you and your mother!”
“Wait, calm down, classmate Yu Hui!”
Yu Hui was furiously raising her hand, a silver dagger clutched in it, looking as if she were about to stab someone. Teacher Lili, however, had hugged Yu Hui from behind, desperately pulling her back to stop her.
“What… what are they doing…”
I propped myself up, looking at them with a bit of confusion.
That’s when I noticed someone else lying beside me. It was Nana… no, she should be called Principal now.
Upon seeing me wake up, Yu Hui immediately came to my side, putting away the silver dagger. Her face filled with worry as she called out, “You’re finally awake, Lord Juncheng!”
“Yu…”
The moment I saw her, I couldn’t help but embrace her. Holding her in my arms, I looked at the title above her head, and it was only then that I felt a sense of “This is indeed the real world.”
“Mmm, Lord… Lord Juncheng?”
“I’m so glad you’re okay…”
I knew it was just a dream, but seeing you die… I was heartbroken. I’m truly sorry. I will absolutely never let something like that happen in reality.
“You too… I’m relieved you returned safely…”
I held her tightly for a while, until I finally realized with clarity that Yu Hui wasn’t dead.
“What’s going on? Are we in… this manor?”
I looked around and found that we were in a bedroom. The style was similar to the Western-style building in my dream, but it was clean…
The Principal and I had originally been lying in bed together, our hands clasped. She must have entered my dream this way.
Unlike the scantily clad female hooligan in my dream, the slumbering Principal was wearing a high-quality business suit and glasses, looking like she was Teacher Lili’s twin. She had no horns, wings, or tail on her head; it seemed they were hidden somehow.
Looking at her, one would never guess they were mother and daughter. They looked more like beautiful sisters.
“Yes, the moment you entered the manor, Teacher Yang hypnotized you to sleep. Teacher Yang told me that her mother, that is, the Principal, could help resolve your mental confusion, but it would require guidance through a dream. After much thought, I agreed.”
Yu Hui’s expression turned grief-stricken as she said this, “But I never expected this demoness to have ill intentions! To have subjected you to such humiliation! I will get rid of her today!”
“What humiliation? What are you talking about, Yu Hui?”
I asked, completely bewildered. Yu Hui suddenly blushed, her voice trembling with agitation.
“Well! This demoness created a filthy, unspeakable nightmare, making you, you know, do *that* several times… It’s too much!”
Yu Hui turned her head away, her cheeks flushed, acting as if she couldn’t bear to look. I was still clueless, not understanding what she meant.
At this moment, Teacher Lili, standing behind Yu Hui, came over to me and whispered in my ear.
“Juncheng, um, down there… your… uh…”
“Down there? My pants?”
I looked back at her in confusion, only to see Teacher Lili staring intently at my crotch, her face flushed an abnormal red, all the way to her ears. Even covering her mouth with her hands couldn’t hide her excited expression.
Following her gaze, I looked down and was shocked to realize my pants were soaked. Then, my delayed senses finally kicked in, and I felt a sticky wetness in my crotch, making me extremely uncomfortable.
“Th-this is…!”
“… A dream…”
No, it would be strange if I *didn’t* have a wet dream. Although I’ve forgotten most of it, I was very aware in the dream, so it’s normal for my body to react…
Meaning…
Yu Hui and Teacher Lili witnessed the entire process of me getting an erection and soaking my pants?
No wonder Yu Hui looked like she wanted to stab the Principal the moment I woke up. If I were the one involved, I’d want to stab her too!
I… I want to die!
I wish I could dig a hole, bury myself in it, and then fill it up!
Damn it! To have the entire process of a wet dream witnessed in person, what kind of new, shameful fetish is this?!
I screamed internally, but maintained a poker face. I faked a cough and said, “Ahem… Excuse me, do you have a change of… pants?”
“Yes, they’ve already been prepared for you. Please follow me.”
An old butler appeared from God knows where, bowed to me, and gestured for me to follow.
I got up awkwardly and, spreading my legs, walked out of the room like a drunk crab, following the old butler.
As the old butler led me from the second floor to the first, and then back to the room where I’d been locked up with Lianbing in my dream, I now saw it not as a prison cell, but a finely designed guest room.
I took the pants the old butler handed me and asked him, “Um, are there any other people who came for the interview?”
“If you mean those who entered the manor with you, their remuneration has been paid, and they have been sent home.”
“Huh? Sent home?!”
Did no one pass the interview?
“They were all extras hired with money; the real target this time was only you. We heard you possess the ability to discern others’ identities, so professional actors from the ‘Troupe’ were rendered useless. Thus, the cadres from the personnel department simply invited some real ‘ordinary people’ to confuse your judgment. It seems to have been effective.”
“So… that’s how it is…”
“Yes, and you have now passed the leader’s test and are eligible to join the organization.”
“Join the organization? Wait, are you referring to the Principal as the leader?”
“Yes, the leader should have awoken by now and be waiting for you. She will explain the matters regarding joining the organization. I shall say no more.”
“Oh, okay…”
This ageless gentleman is like a male version of Miss Shirley. His speech is respectful, and he appears to be meticulous in his personality. He truly lives up to the title of ageless gentleman.
I followed the old butler back to the second floor, but this time, we went directly to the main hall in the center. After changing my pants, I headed straight for the hall.
Pushing open the door, I found the Principal sitting in the center seat, striking Shinji’s classic pose, awaiting my arrival.
Yu Hui and Teacher Lili stood to the left. To the right were Kaoru Tsukiyose, with a beaming smile, and classmate Li Nai, who was standing and dozing.
The Principal now resembled an ice queen, but with a subtle difference. She exuded an aura of leadership that commanded respect without needing to be angry. The intimate interaction from the dream seemed like a lie; she was a completely different person.
Feeling like… my mental illness has been cured?
“An Juncheng.”
“Uh, yes!”
Her voice was filled with authority. Speaking of which, didn’t she sign a contract with me? Won’t she be punished for calling my name so directly?
Hmm, maybe the contract signed in the dream isn’t valid?
I suddenly thought that my spiritual power had increased severalfold.
Did the Principal pretend nothing happened and endure it?
Suddenly, I felt an urge to see if her skirt was wet. If I commanded her, would she obey me…? Wait.
Why am I having these wicked thoughts again?! The Charm Magic Circle is gone! Is it the influence of my past life memories?!
In any case, I refuse to admit that these are my own sordid thoughts! (Desperately passing the buck)
“In my capacity as the leader of the organization’s Northeast Asian Branch, I invite you to join our organization.”
“Uh? What, what?”
Uh, what organization? S.E.R.N.?
Without me even needing to ask, the Principal seemed to see through my thoughts and explained directly.
“The organization does not have a fixed name, nor has it ever established a formal name. You may simply refer to it as ‘the Organization.’ The Organization has branches all over the world, established to resolve all ‘anomalous events’ that affect the world’s balance.”
“Uh? Resolve anomalous events?”
“Since you can see those ‘titles,’ you should understand that there are various anomalous phenomena, anomalous items… and anomalous beings in this world.”
“Among them, the more benevolent or neutral anomalies are intentionally gathered and contained by us. Class 2-2, where you are, as well as Class 1-1 and Class 3-3, are classes for containing anomalies.”
“As for those that are chaotic, evil, and will cause danger by…?”
“Eliminate them?”
“Precisely. After all, reasoning with some malfunctioning individuals is futile, so direct elimination is more time-efficient.”
Though it may seem cold-blooded, this is actually the most efficient approach.
“I don’t think I need to explain the method of elimination; you’ve witnessed it. Your friend Jiang Xueqing is an ‘external contractor’ for the organization, responsible for killing serial killers and unruly spirits. Her partner, also an external contractor, Kaoru Tsukiyose, is responsible for disposing of the bodies, with cadres from the logistics department cleaning up the scene.”
As she said this, I couldn’t help but glance at Kaoru Tsukiyose beside me. Noticing my gaze, she gave me a big smile and waved her little hand.
Thinking back now, her offer of “part-time work” was clearly just her tricking me. It was all a pretense to get me to join the organization.
