Jiang Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief; no matter what punishment he was about to receive, he wouldn't feel any pain.
Who knew that the next second, her chin would be forcefully pinched and lifted up.
What came into view was Si Yu's handsome face, with its deep-set eyes and terrifying expression.
The dazzling incandescent light shone down, casting a white glow on Si Yu's smooth yet resilient hair, and also making his gloomy and terrifying face stand out even more.
Jiang Zheyu had never seen Si Yu so fierce before, and her heart tightened instantly, her liver trembling violently.
Si Yu gripped Jiang Zheyu's chin tightly, as if he wanted to crush her bones. Jiang Zheyu had already taken painkillers, so she didn't feel any pain. Her brown eyes just looked at him with some trembling.
Who knew that when Si Yu saw those similar eyes and a look of horror on his face, he subconsciously loosened his grip.
He noticed what he had done, and his brows, which were pierced with bone screws, furrowed deeply again.
"Now you can tell me, where is the female I'm looking for?" Si Yu stared intently at Jiang Zheyu with his dark green eyes.
Jiang Zheyu tilted her head back, feeling that the incandescent light was a bit dazzling. Even the glaring light reflected from Si Yu's brow bone and lip piercings made her squint slightly.
"Sure, but you have to let me go first." Jiang Zheyu's lips moved slightly.
"Heh..." Si Yu seemed to chuckle coldly, a very soft whisper escaping from his lips, as something cold pressed against Jiang Zheyu's forehead. "You have one more chance. Do you want to gamble with your life?"
Jiang Zheyu felt the gun barrel on his forehead, his eyes widened slightly, and his heart started racing.
She swallowed slightly.
No, shouldn't they subject her to various forms of torture and then interrogate her?
She had already prepared painkillers and various antidotes, and was ready to accept punishment.
But now, instead of any punishment, are they just going to shoot her in the head?
They went straight into playing such a high-stakes game with her, risking her life.
Is it true or false?
"System, am I going to die?" Jiang Zheyu broke out in a cold sweat.
"The host's newbie protection period has expired," the system said helplessly. "If the host dies, then he is truly dead."
Jiang Zheyu gritted his teeth: "Wait, how come I didn't know I had a newbie protection period? You garbage system!"
Jiang Zheyu had saved him a lot of pain thanks to the system shop, and he was thinking that he would never curse it again. But now he couldn't help but curse the garbage system again.
"Host, you can buy a fake death pill. Even if a bullet pierces your head, you won't be hurt," the system suggested. "It only costs ten points."
"If I fake my death, will he whip my corpse, break my legs or something?" Jiang Zheyu was afraid that she would become disabled after waking up from her fake death.
"Don't worry, host. All these injuries will eventually fall on this illusory body," the system reassured you. "You'll be fine when you return to your own body later."
Jiang Zheyu retracted his earlier statement that the system was garbage.
Upon hearing the system's message, she quickly bought a fake death pill.
Use the fake death pill when the gun is in the head.
She also instructed the system that after she faked her death and reached a safe place, she should have the system wake her up.
After hearing the system's agreement, Jiang Zheyu looked at Si Yu with relief.
"Alright, let's bet." Jiang Zheyu smiled confidently and arrogantly.
Si Yu looked down at the orc's arrogant smile, and his brow bone, which had a bone nail in it, twitched slightly.
His heart inexplicably quickened.
“I forgot to tell you.” Si Yu’s emotions were inexplicable, then he smiled wickedly, “This gunshot to the brain won’t kill you, but it will damage your mental strength, and mental strength damage can be very painful.”
Jiang Zheyu: ...
Jiang Zheyu smiled, since all the pain would fall on the illusory body anyway, she wasn't afraid: "Okay, then you try it."
Looking at the pair of amber eyes filled with a smile, Si Yu found them even more similar, and for a moment he couldn't bear to do it.
Jiang Zheyu waited for a long time, but found that the person in front of her did not make any movement. Instead, he kept staring at her, his eyes seeming to pierce through her brown eyes and into her soul.
She felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at.
"Jiang Zheyu," Si Yu suddenly called her name.
Jiang Zheyu's expression froze. She didn't believe Si Yu recognized her; he must be bluffing. She moved her lips and said, "What are you talking about? That female isn't here."
"Whether it was you or not," Si Yu narrowed his eyes. "I can make my own judgment."
Jiang Zheyu was feeling uneasy and confused when she felt a spiritual force invading her mental space.
She quickly put on her mental defenses.
But instead of the mental attack she expected, the mental energy gently brushed against her mental defenses, sending a shiver down her spine.
"Yu Yu, your mental strength is amazing." Si Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. "You've risen from S-level to S+++ level in such a short time."
"You, you..." Jiang Zheyu's lips moved, but he continued to deny it dryly, "I'm not your Yu Yu, I'm a male beastman, I'm a man."
"Yu Yu, have you forgotten?" Si Yu moved slightly closer to her, his voice low and deep, "Our spiritual powers have been deeply intertwined, and I can recognize your spiritual power."
It's all over, it's all over.
Jiang Zheyu had forgotten about this, mainly because there weren't many people who had deeply integrated their spiritual power; only Su Yan and the person in front of him had done so.
Her heart sank.
So, what if I've been recognized now?
"Yu Yu, how can you disguise yourself so well?" Si Yu's hand landed on her face, his eyes filled with inquiry. "The skin of this body doesn't look fake. Did someone perform surgery on you and give you a new skin?"
“Gene-editing agents can also alter physical characteristics.” Si Yu’s eyes were fixed on Jiang Zheyu.
Jiang Zheyu had no idea; all she knew was that she was finished.
"I... I've turned into a man now," Jiang Zheyu tentatively said. "I guess you don't like men, so can you let me go?"
"It's alright." Si Yu stroked her cheek. "I'll have my people develop a gene serum to turn you back to normal."
Jiang Zheyu was lifted up in mid-air and landed in Si Yu's arms.
"Now, we should settle the accounts properly." Si Yu placed her on the table to sit down.
His clothes were ripped off, and Jiang Zheyu hurriedly grabbed them, saying, "I... I'm a man now!"
"So what?" Si Yu said coolly. "Yu Yu can enjoy the feelings between men and women, isn't she happy?"
