When Qiao He realized what was on her face, she was dumbfounded. Why? Why were there short, fine hairs on her face?
It was as if... gray-black rat fur had grown on her face. Qiao He's pupils shrank sharply, and goosebumps instantly covered her back.
This, is this true?
Qiao He subconsciously touched her face, then suddenly realized that everything she had just experienced was an illusion, and there was nothing on her face anymore.
Qiao He exclaimed in surprise, then murmured softly, "Did I just see it wrong?"
She stared intently at her reflection in the mirror and realized it was indeed an illusion. There was no downy hair at all; she must have been mistaken...
Qiao He secretly told herself, yes, she must have been mistaken! There was absolutely no strange fluff.
Even so, Qiao He's heart was still pounding wildly. Was it really just a hallucination? Had she really never grown any downy hair...?
Qiao He washed her face vigorously and finally found that it was indeed smooth with hardly any hair.
She breathed a sigh of relief; she was probably too tired during this period and hadn't recovered yet.
Rest a little longer, it should be better soon.
Qiao He continued sleeping.
She's sleeping much more often and for much longer now, but she hasn't realized that she's so tired every day and just wants to lie down and sleep. She can't even get up to check on her kittens.
Not to mention the thin fog over the Huai River, and the daytime sunshine and plum blossoms.
Qiao He felt like she was about to fall asleep in bed; she couldn't open her eyes.
The more I tried to wake up, the less I could open my eyes.
She tried, but failed.
Every time she tried to wake up, she would be pulled back by sleepiness as soon as she opened her eyes. She was so tired that she just wanted to sleep here forever and die here, because this place was really comfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao He suddenly woke up, as if she had just had a terrible nightmare.
But now she couldn't open her eyes; her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, as if they were being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone. Qiao He's eyelids were trembling violently.
Why can't he wake up? How could this happen?
For some reason, Qiao He suddenly remembered the system.
She called out to the system in her mind, but the system seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss, offering no response. Her mind was completely black; the system was gone, and everything was gone.
Qiao He felt a moment of panic, but quickly calmed down. She was now somewhat clear-headed. Something must have been wrong with her previous state. What exactly did that ratman do to them? Why did he become so strange as soon as he arrived here, and why did he have the idea of wanting to stay here forever?
Qiao He became increasingly panicked as she thought about it. She tried to open her eyes, but no matter how many times she tried, it was no use.
Just when Qiao He was about to despair, she suddenly heard a strange sound of footsteps. The footsteps grew closer and closer until they finally stopped beside Qiao He's bed.
Wang Chengye stood still, looking at the girl on the bed with satisfaction, and murmured, "Great, it's already very well done. Miss Qiao, don't worry, you'll soon be one of us."
“You must be just as happy as I am, right? As long as you integrate into our group, you can live forever here, right? You won’t have to suffer anymore…” Wang Chengye murmured, his smile growing wider. He leaned closer to look at the rat fur on Qiao He’s face. It was very good; it was growing really well.
"Wait a little longer. In one more day, you will be able to become like me. When that time comes, I will let you go to meet my real citizens. They are all very happy. I think you will be just as happy when you go there."
Wang Chengye said with great pleasure.
"Qiao He, so would you like to join us?"
Qiao He suddenly opened her eyes, and almost instantly she understood why she had become like this and why she was able to resist Wang Chengye's abilities. Then she opened her eyes and woke up.
"I refuse." Qiao He's eyes were especially cold. She took a deep breath and punched Wang Chengye's rat-like head, knocking it to the side.
Wang Chengye was completely dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Qiao He, seemingly not understanding why the girl had woken up.
Qiao He's eye twitched violently as she realized that she really did have rat hair growing on her face!
Qiao He shouted angrily, "Wang Chengye! You've gone too far! Get rid of your abilities right now! Having rat hair on your face is disgusting! It's so disgusting!"
Wang Chengye was full of questions. "You... how did you wake up? Why?"
Qiao He sneered, "You ask me why I woke up? I'm sorry, I don't trust you, so I gave you a fake name."
"As for my real name, guess it." Qiao He stared at his head and punched him again.
Wang Chengye indeed had little offensive capability, and he was quickly defeated by Qiao He.
His head was covered in blood; Qiao He had almost smashed the rat's head open.
Wang Chengye was on the verge of tears. "I didn't expect you wouldn't want to be with us. Is this place not suitable for you? It's so nice here, why don't you want to live with us?! Isn't this city beautiful?"
"Isn't it good? Why did you leave? Why!" Wang Chengye shouted angrily.
Qiao He went up and kicked him to calm him down.
Wang Chengye was dejected. He squatted on the ground, looking very resentful. "So did I do something wrong? I should have let you go... No, that's not right. The others still want to stay here, yes, yes! I'll go find the others right now!"
After saying this, Wang Chengye was about to run away.
Unfortunately, Qiao He gripped his neck tightly, saying, "You dare, Wang Chengye? If you lay a hand on my friends and the kittens, I'll kill you."
Wang Chengye acted as if he were a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, "Then go ahead and kill me. Anyway, if one of me dies, thousands upon thousands of me will rise up!"
“Miss Qiao, you can’t defeat me,” Wang Chengye said confidently.
Then he desperately tried to go next door and turn the kittens into monsters with rat heads and cat bodies, but Qiao He, in a fit of rage, twisted his head off.
Wang Chengye is dead.
But just as he said, once he dies, another Wang Chengye will soon appear in the apartment.
Qiao He: "???"
