Chapter 39 True Love



Qin Zigui had considered that if Sheng Yan showed the slightest discomfort or resistance the moment he took a bite, he would immediately stop and retreat to the safest area, maintaining the distance that Sheng Yan felt was the most comfortable and safest.

But the moment he bit down, he clearly felt the person in front of him go limp, and the low groan was clearly audible in the cramped, dark space.

It felt like some kind of invitation.

So even though the gun was still pressed against his chest, he bent down even lower, held Sheng Yan's waist, and gently ground his teeth against the side of his neck.

The person in front of me had very fine, smooth skin, and the shower gel smelled sweet. My body felt weak, and I didn't resist.

With his eyes closed, Qin Zigui traced the reddened ears of Sheng Yan in the darkness. Unable to resist, he pressed harder, like a vampire greedily devouring its prey.

Sheng Yan didn't feel any pain, just a slight ache. His lips and tongue teased him, and his warm breath sprayed near his artery. A strange feeling quickly spread throughout his body with his blood.

In the darkness, all senses are amplified infinitely.

His heart was beating way too fast.

But for some reason, he didn't push it away immediately, as if his body's instinct was to enjoy the feeling, just like that dream that day.

That dream that day.

When he realized this, Sheng Yan suddenly came to his senses, turned his head, and said urgently in a low voice, "Have you bitten enough?"

"Not enough, anyway there are no security cameras here." Qin Zigui slowly moved away from Sheng Yan's neck, his tongue intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the somewhat deep teeth mark.

Sheng Yan shuddered, his legs went weak again, but his gun reacted quickly, rising directly to press against Qin Zigui's Adam's apple, lifting his chin, and saying fiercely, "Qin Zigui, don't do anything rash."

Qin Zigui held his waist again, her tone seemingly tinged with amusement: "When did I say I was going to do anything reckless? What are you straight men thinking? And you can't even stand up after just one bite? Is that all you straight men are capable of?"

What do you mean, "That's all you've got?"

"Try getting bitten and see what happens!"

Sheng Yan threatened through gritted teeth.

Qin Zigui was terrified: "Okay, go ahead and bite it back."

"..." Sheng Yan could no longer contain himself. "Qin Zigui! Do you have no shame at all?!"

"Aren't you straight? What are you afraid of?"

Qin Zigui remained calm and used the opponent's own words against him.

Sheng Yan was speechless.

Qin Zigui then asked, "Or are you not that straightforward?"

"I'm upright!" Sheng Yan lacked confidence, but he raised his voice to make up for it, pressing the gun barrel forward again. "But even if I'm upright, that's no excuse for your shamelessness! Don't you like Chen Yubai? Shouldn't you keep yourself pure for his sake?!"

Qin Zigui felt the gun barrel pressed against his Adam's apple, reached out and grabbed it, tilted it to the side, and whispered, "When did I say I liked Chen Yubai?"

Sheng Yan paused.

"I do have a boy I like, but that person is not Chen Yubai."

Qin Zigui's words contained all the previous playful banter, leaving only a faint sense of certainty.

Sheng Yan's hand, gripping the gun handle, began to sweat.

Qin Zigui has a boy she likes.

But it wasn't Chen Yubai.

Who is that?

The answer seemed to be just a thin veil away; once he lifted it, the truth would be revealed.

But he didn't dare to flirt, didn't want to flirt, and didn't have the time to flirt.

Just a second before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, a commotion erupted outside: "It's here! It's here! I just heard the noise coming from here! There must be someone in there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened, and then hurried footsteps approached.

Then the cabinet door was opened, and light suddenly shone in.

Qin Zigui sidestepped, giving way, and Sheng Yan, holding a gun, aimed it at the person who had opened the cabinet and fired a shot into their chest.

They were sent straight out of the competition.

Then Qin Zigui turned around and pinned another vampire who was about to rush up against the wall.

Taking advantage of this time, Sheng Yan reloaded his gun within five seconds, fired another shot at the third person trying to rush in through the door, then turned around and said to Qin Zigui, "Make way."

Qin Zigui tilted his head in tacit agreement.

With a bang.

The third rabid vampire also died on the spot.

Then they looked at Qin Zigui, who was dressed the same as them, with bewildered expressions: "...???"

There's a traitor among us?!

Then they noticed the little strawberry on the neck of the handsome young vampire hunter.

"..."

Sure enough, there was a traitor among us.

Although the three vampires were a group of rough men who came to have fun together, it didn't mean they were unsophisticated or ignorant. So, after a brief silence, they crawled away as three corpses. Their girlfriends, whom they had personally rejected, were still waiting for them to kneel on washboards when they got back.

After completing the series of actions, Sheng Yan realized, "Wait a minute, didn't I already get eliminated? Then they should have died ineffectively."

"Who said you were eliminated?" Qin Zigui walked over and tied Sheng Yan's shirt collar to cover the ambiguous little hickey, and said calmly, "Didn't I say there are no surveillance cameras in the closet?"

Sheng Yan: "?"

"There's no surveillance footage, the staff didn't see anything, so how can they determine your elimination? Besides, I just bit randomly, I didn't say I had to bite in the way that would eliminate me," Qin Zigui said shamelessly, as if it were nothing.

Sheng Yan really wanted to shoot him in the head.

Qin Zigui fastened the last button for Sheng Yan: "And I estimate that Chen Yubai should be eliminated soon as well."

After that, the system announced: "Vampire Chen Yubai and vampire hunter Wang Xin have perished together."

Sheng Yan: "???"

Qin Zigui explained, "Chen Yubai found the crosses of the last two people, but he was blinded by beauty and planned to walk into the trap to show his loyalty to Lin Qian. But I think Lin Qian will only be a ruthless killer."

Although they don't know how the process went, the result looks like it should be like this.

"What were you doing on the third floor?"

Sheng Yan asked warily.

Qin Zigui answered very naturally: "Looking for your cross."

That means there's now only one vampire left, Qin Zigui, two vampire hunters, him and Lin Qian.

He had one last bullet left and had not been eliminated.

Qin Zigui also failed to find his cross.

As long as Sheng Yan fires this shot, the vampire hunters' camp will win.

But Sheng Yan just couldn't bring himself to fire that shot.

Although he could have disregarded Qin Zigui's safety and shot him immediately to eliminate him, he didn't choose to fire that shot then, and it's even less likely he would do so now.

Because, not to mention that Qin Zigui had bitten him, just based on Qin Zigui's recent act of killing his own kind for him, he wouldn't do something like betraying his benefactor.

Sheng Yan simply threw the gun on the ground: "Forget it, I can't do it. Go find Lin Qian and settle things with her yourself."

However, the moment he threw down the gun, all the lights in the arena suddenly went out.

"!!! How can this place be haunted?!"

Sheng Yan jumped back in fright, and Qin Zigui pulled him directly into her arms.

Then the lights came on again, turning an eerie purple, and a distant female voice came from the loudspeaker: "Young hunter and vampire, why did you give up the chance to kill each other?"

Sheng Yan, holding Qin Zigui's arm, asked, "?"

What's going on here now?

Qin Zigui was not surprised. He had said before that this was a couples-themed event, but it turned couples into two opposing camps. So the ultimate goal could not be to make couples fight to the death.

And the victory between factions is, of course, the victory between each pair of players.

But there were no other clues in the venue to guide how to trigger this hidden mechanism. It was all like an Easter egg, entirely dependent on luck, but I never expected it to be like this.

Giving up one's own stance and camp for the sake of a lover is a recurring theme in Western love stories.

So Qin Zigui casually replied, "Because he is the one I deeply love."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yan asked, "???"

Is Qin Zigui really that engrossed in a game?!

Before he could deny it, the mysterious female voice suddenly turned into a grotesque laugh: "Hahahaha, my love, love is such a worthless thing! Can your love withstand the devil's test?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yan felt the ground begin to tremble. He turned around and saw that the corpses, played by staff members, piled up at the end of the corridor had suddenly come to life and were rushing towards them.

"Holy crap! Qin Zigui! You can't just say things like that! What are you standing there for! Run!" Sheng Yan grabbed Qin Zigui's hand and ran frantically upstairs.

As soon as they reached the second floor, the corpses there began to revive.

Sheng Yan shouted and pulled Qin Zigui to continue running downstairs.

As a result, the path leading to the first-floor entrance was covered with mummies, so Sheng Yan could only drag Qin Zigui and continue running in a deserted direction.

The venue was 3,000 square meters, full of corridors and rooms, winding and turning, with a large group of zombies following behind. Sheng Yan's legs were about to break from running. He felt that Qin Zigui was simply his nemesis.

But the broadcast kept repeating: "As long as you kill the other side and leave the corpse to appease the devil's anger, you can win on your own."

Sheng Yan had never seen such a cringeworthy amusement park in his life.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you were filming a melodramatic fantasy drama.

The key is that Sheng Yan's personality is particularly capable of empathizing with this kind of adolescent angst. The more this happens, the less likely he is to let go of Qin Zigui. He holds Qin Zigui's hand tightly and runs faster and faster.

When he finally saw a sign that said "Exit", he was overjoyed and rushed over with Qin Zigui, only to be stopped by two female staff members dressed as witches.

Are you still not done calculating now that we've reached the exit? Are you trying to entertain people or kill them?

Sheng Yan was too exhausted to run anymore. He bent over, panting, and was just about to reason with the witch.

The witch then spoke in the voice of an experienced announcer: "Young hunters and vampires, you say you have come here because of love, so are you willing to accept the test of the Stone of True Love?"

The voice was very distant and mysterious, but when he saw his hands tightly clasped together with Qin Zigui's, a strange and excited smile appeared on his face.

Sheng Yan: "??"

"What, the Stone of True Love?"

Sheng Yan asked.

The young woman, suppressing her excitement at finally seeing a handsome couple in person, said in a deep voice, "The Stone of True Love, as the name suggests, is a stone to test whether your love is true. Simply put your hands into the stone, look at each other, and express your love. Obtaining the Stone of True Love will grant you victory and the witch's blessing. Failure will not only cost you all rewards but also subject you to the punishment of falling into the water. Of course, you can also choose to kill your lover and take the treasure bestowed by the devil for yourself."

Sheng Yan glanced at the lie detector, which was essentially just a stone casing, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure no couples have broken up because of this game?"

The young woman pointed to a handwritten sign next to her—"The lie detector was bought on Taobao. It may not be accurate. It's for entertainment purposes only."

Sheng Yan: "..."

He's quite honest.

"However, almost all the couples who have made it this far have succeeded, which means it's probably accurate. Why don't you give it a try, young man?" The witch smiled sweetly.

In the past, Sheng Yan might have given it a try, since it was just a game and nothing serious, and he wouldn't have taken it seriously.

But for some reason, Sheng Yan, holding the gun in his hand, suddenly felt like backing down.

This game is trash, you're better off not playing it.

Sheng Yan turned around, wanting Qin Zigui to shoot him dead, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Zigui looking at the witch: "How do I get certified?"

The witch explained, "It means putting your hand into the Stone of True Love, looking at the other person, and saying 'I love you.' A green light means it's true, and a red light means it's false."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Zigui replied casually, then put her hand into the Stone of True Love, looked at Sheng Yan, her expression calm and serene, "Want to try and see if I love you or not?"

Anyone who hears this will think it's just a joking remark made casually to win a game.

But Sheng Yan, who was being looked at, suddenly only wanted to turn around and run away.
