"Uh, I meant that..." Xiao Wang quickly tried to fill in the gaps, but couldn't quite manage it.
“Vicious and cold-blooded.”
"No, no, no, I didn't mean you!"
No, what you said is true.
Sher's voice was unreadable, but Xiao Wang felt a chill run down his spine and lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"Lift your head up."
After thinking it over and over, Xiao Wang raised his head slightly.
"Lift it again."
"Straighten it up."
He clenched his fists, his eyes darting around nervously.
As it floated around, Xiao Wang saw a purple snake tail materialize under Shehe's skirt, and his heart nearly stopped in fright.
"You... snake... snake..."
Xiao Wang could barely speak properly. When he saw the radiating golden eagle, there was a layer of train car blocking the view, and he was far away, so he managed to stay calm.
But now, Shekh is only a meter away from him, and that thick tail is enough to make him collapse at the mere sight of it.
The slippery snake tail slowly crawled down the passageway behind Shekh. Fear and disgust appeared in Xiao Wang's eyes; he truly disliked snakes.
A long, earthy-smelling, twisting strip—just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Shi Jin walked behind Sheh, intending to ask the driver why they stopped in the abandoned city, but when he looked down, he saw the look in his eyes.
Xiao Wang was still trying his best to calm down when Shekh asked, "I've heard that human blood is warm. Can I feel it?"
"No, no! Absolutely not. Humans are the most cold-blooded people."
Xiao Wang's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, making a sound like he was kowtowing.
"That's perfect, I also want to see just how cold-blooded I am."
Shekh took a butterfly knife that hadn't been used in a long time from Shi Jinzhe, pressed the blade against Xiao Wang's face, and applied force with the tip of the knife.
The sharp, twisting blade cut an S-shape, resembling the crawling trail of a snake.
The knife cut from his forehead to his chin, and blood flowed down. Xiao Wang's body stiffened, and he dared not even tremble, afraid that the tip of the knife might slip and pierce his eye.
"Isn't this blood warm? Where is it cold?"
"No, no... it's just cold..."
Xiao Wang dared not open his mouth, and his words were mumbled. Under extreme tension, he was unable to control some of his physiological phenomena.
Shekh turned around and went behind Shi Jinzhe. In the blink of an eye, when he came out again, the tail had disappeared.
She tossed the butterfly knife into Shi Jinzhe's hand, turned and went back into the cubicle, saying, "Come in with me."
Seeing that she was gone, Xiao Wang collapsed as if he had escaped death. He didn't care about the few drops of yellow fluid he had dribbled, and kept muttering, "I'm saved."
"not yet."
Xiao Wang looked up in surprise, stunned.
Shi Jin swung the butterfly knife around and said, "Congratulations on running into the line of fire. I'm very unhappy right now."
"I…"
"However, I can give you a chance to live."
Shi Jinzhe looked at the rear door of the car and said, "Get out now, complete the task I gave you, and this matter will be over."
In just three sentences, Xiao Wang experienced the entire process from hope to despair.
He just said a few veiled insults behind my back, is it really that big of a deal?!
What's the difference between getting off the bus and going to your death? They say this matter is over, but whether he can come back is still a question.
"Don't glare at me like that. If you don't want to, I'll send you to the King of Hell right now."
"……go."
"Then please." Shi Jinzhe tossed him a walkie-talkie. "Go find something related to time and date. You can come back once you find three."
After putting on his oxygen mask, Xiao Wang was still undecided before leaving. He looked pleadingly at Sun Qi, who had been standing silently at the door.
Sun Qi turned his back and closed the door. The smell of blood and urine made him a human bait as soon as he got out of the car, which would definitely lure away any radioactive monsters lying in ambush nearby.
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth; having no other choice, he had to get off the bus.
They're all so heartless; they'll get their comeuppance sooner or later.
After seeing the person off, Shi Jin went through the cubicle and returned to safe house 602.
Shekh sat on the edge of the bathtub, rubbing his tail: "Didn't kill him?"
"I told him to get out of the car and look for something related to the date and time."
Shi Jinzhe wanted to know how much faster the timeline of this world was compared to the original world.
In the past, each world developed in a similar way to the original world, but here, the technology from 220 years ago is exactly the same as that of the original world.
Is it already 224 years old here?
If that's the case, wouldn't there be worlds where time moves slower than in the original world?
"I'm worried that they might change the era if the civilization breaks down. Asking the driver directly might not be accurate. It would be better to take advantage of this free opportunity to have someone find some corroborating evidence. Otherwise, there's no loss."
Shekh continued washing his tail: "What are you going to do with this verification?"
"Want to know more about the game?"
Looking at her washing her tail, Shi Jinzhe knew that if it weren't for the hard scales, it would have been rubbed to pieces long ago.
"They're too far away for you to touch, so be careful."
"It doesn't hurt. Besides, you're walking in front of the dung, don't you find the smell unbearable?"
"rational…"
Shi Jinzhe couldn't stand her unskilled technique and raised his hand, saying, "Let me do it."
“I don’t trust you.” Shekh raised his hand from near his hip. “Your mind is too dirty.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinzhe stood up abruptly and began to undress.
Why are you taking off your clothes?
"Isn't taking a bath dirty? I'll clean myself up."
"I'm talking about ideas. Is your brain filled with water?"
"There is water in the human brain."
"Don't you say you're a tree?"
"Then it needs water even more."
Shekh hugged his tail: "Sometimes I miss the times when you were afraid of me."
Shi Jinzhe sat back down by the bathtub, pried open her fingers one by one that were holding the tip of the tail, and took the tail into his own hand.
"I never imagined that childhood trauma could one day turn into sexual awakening."
"You have already far surpassed the stage of enlightenment."
Shekh lowered his head, feeling the hand pressing on his belly scales as it groped upwards from the tail, getting closer and closer to areas covered by scales.
She flicked the tip of her tail twice, then said doubtfully, "This won't do..."
"I was just patting your tail, what are you thinking?"
"..."
Shi Jinzhe pinned Shehe's unruly tail down and asked seriously, "What do you want?"
Shekh placed his hands on the bathtub and nodded after a few breaths.
"It's my nature, and I don't want to suppress it."
"But I seem to remember that you said I was overthinking things not long ago."
That tone...
Shehe understood; Shi Jinzhe had done it on purpose. She retorted, "If you can change your mind, why can't I? Besides, it's because you didn't give me any feeling."
"So you can feel it now."
Shekh felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't remember where. So he simply admitted, "Yes, but there's nothing you can do about it, and this is in a dungeon."
Shi Jinzhe stood up and walked to the sink to wash his hands: "You forgot this prop is called a safe house."
"so what."
“So,” he turned around, shaking the water off his hands, “we are now in a position to start by trying out the feasibility of the simplest approach.”
