Chapter 19 The Touch of a Dragonfly Skimming the Water
Just as he was thinking about these random things, Feng Xingshou suddenly grabbed his arm and said nervously, "Be careful, the dungeon monsters are coming."
"..." Upon hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara immediately looked carefully at the dense fog on both sides of the road. After looking carefully for a while, he vaguely saw two dark figures emerge from the dense fog on both sides at almost the same time.
Upon seeing this, his pupils dilated in shock: Two? Does that mean two monsters spawn every ten minutes? Or is it like last night, with the number of monsters increasing to two, meaning he'll have to face an attack from 12 monsters tonight? If that's the case, he's in trouble.
I have 9 bullets left. Six bullets are manageable, but 12 won't be enough to take them all out unless I can figure out how to take out two with one bullet, and do it at least twice...
But could his marksmanship do that? Just as he was pondering this question, two indistinct black shadows appeared on the left and right, launching a claw-like tearing attack on the driver and passenger seats of the car.
Fortunately, the car body was very sturdy and blocked the opponent's attack. However, this time he could faintly hear a sound like something grinding against metal. At the same time, the strange attack method made his plan fail.
Even he couldn't calculate the trajectory of a single shot hitting targets in opposite directions under these circumstances, especially since there were no sturdy obstacles to deflect the bullets.
However, because the two monsters attacked the car at the same time, he was able to vaguely see the appearance of the two monsters by the dim light of the car's dashboard. Sure enough, they were no longer the rabbit from last night, but black giant wolves that were stronger and more powerful than rabbits.
After seeing the monster's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but speculate that it wasn't that the number of monsters had increased, but rather that these black wolves attacked in pairs. Wolves always hunt in packs, so perhaps this was the refresh rule that required them to attack in pairs.
If that's the case, he still has enough bullets...
We can only gamble on this prediction. If we guess wrong, we'll stop attacking when the monsters spawn in the second round. According to last night's rules, the first two waves of monsters cannot cause any destructive damage to the vehicle.
This would prevent the vehicle from being damaged and Feng Jiang from being attacked by the monster. After making his decision, he quietly leaned close to Feng Xing Shou's ear and whispered, "Cover your ears and don't speak!"
"Oh!" Feng Xingshou was reminded by him and remembered that in the movie, there was no silencer and the sound of gunfire was very loud. He quickly covered his ears, but looked at Hagiwara with admiration.
As Hagiwara had deduced, the two monsters outside the car window were indeed black wolf monsters, even more powerful than the giant rabbit. This gave her confidence that Hagiwara would proactively touch the scene of his best friend's accident tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Kenji Hagiwara, seeing Kazesei Mori obediently cover his ears, smiled and immediately, just like last night, cracked open his car window and skillfully released the safety on his sidearm...
"Bang! Bang..."
With six gunshots within half an hour, it was proven that Hagiwara's deduction was correct once again. Sure enough, there were still six monsters, and the number of dungeon monsters did not increase after the spawn of stronger monsters.
At the same time, they received another surprise. Feng Xingshou looked out the window and saw that the boxes that had fallen to the ground were all neatly arranged, each one identical to the bronze treasure chest from yesterday.
He said excitedly, "Second-year graduate student, you guessed right! They're all bronze treasure chests! That's amazing! I wonder what kind of supplies will drop inside. They must be even better than yesterday's!"
.
"We can probably look forward to it." Kenji Hagiwara thought of the treasure chest he received at noon, which contained car engine blueprints and...
With generous rewards like fuel, I figured that even if the rewards from the three channels were different, since they were all bronze chests, the total value of the rewards should be equal for the game organizers...
He was thinking about all this when he noticed someone's hand reaching for the car door. He quickly grabbed the back of her collar and stopped her, saying, "No, you can't leave the car at night. There's a possibility of unexpected danger."
"Didn't you observe last night? The danger at night is these dungeon monsters. It's already past 12:40, so there's definitely no chance of any new dungeon monsters spawning!" With the bronze treasure chest just a step away outside the car, Feng Xingshou could hardly resist the urge to open it.
Having learned his lesson, Kenji Hagiwara felt that the smoother things went, the more he should apply the brakes: "That won't work either. After all, this is just my guess. What if I'm wrong? What if the journey is longer and the dungeon lasts longer?"
"Uh..." Feng Xingshou looked longingly at the bronze treasure chest outside. It was too difficult for her to endure it for just one night, but what Hagiwara said made sense. She couldn't take risks recklessly. Just as she was about to give up the idea...
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the gun he had just used and was still holding to guard against the monsters in the dungeon. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she said impatiently, "Then when I open the car door, you can hold the gun and keep watch next to me."
"Given how difficult it looked for the monster to emerge from the thick fog, we could have easily retreated back into the car before it even reached us, or simply shot it. Or are you lacking confidence in your shooting skills?"
"Looks like you're going to have to open this box tonight." Kenji Hagiwara almost laughed in exasperation at her clumsy attempt to provoke him.
Feng Xing Shou was really going all out to satisfy his desire to open the chest, and then added insult to injury: "Hey! You're not planning to go get the chest yourself and leave me to guard it with a gun, are you? I've never even touched a gun before, aren't you worried about an accidental discharge?"
"..." At this moment, Kenji Hagiwara didn't know why he suddenly thought of another meaning of "accidental discharge" in Japanese. His gaze unconsciously swept over her neck exposed at her collar and the full curves of her chest.
After some images that needed to be censored flashed through his mind, he awkwardly looked away. His instinct to hide his thoughts forced him to reluctantly agree: "Okay! But close the car door immediately if there is any danger."
"Mmm!" Feng Xingshou readily agreed, then eagerly opened the car door next to him and carried the three bronze treasure chests that had fallen into the car. Fortunately, the game didn't cause any trouble and suddenly introduced new rules.
She easily stored all three bronze treasure chests into her spatial backpack. Seeing that the three bronze treasure chests on her passenger side had been stored away, she went to open the car door on Hagiwara's side, intending to store the three bronze treasure chests outside the driver's side door as well.
.
As Kenji Hagiwara was cautiously observing the dense fog on both sides of the road outside the car, he felt a warm body brush past him. Immediately afterward, he felt a soft, plump, and intoxicating touch on his thigh, making him instinctively feel that some parts of his body were a little hot.
He subconsciously looked down and saw Feng Jiang lying on his lap without any hesitation, opening his side of the car door to collect the bronze treasure chest. Her soft body was pressed tightly against his thigh as she leaned over him.
At the same time, a tiny, light red mole the size of a sesame seed behind her earlobe caught his eye, overlapping with the image of her in his memory—a girl who dared not look up, head bowed, shoving a love letter riddled with typos into his hands before turning and running away…
At that moment, he suddenly felt an urge to reach out and hold her in his arms to do something, and at the same time, he hoped...
She spent a longer time collecting the treasure chests, but unfortunately, the feeling she had at that moment was like a dragonfly skimming the water.
He regretfully felt that the exquisite touch on his leg disappeared in just a few seconds as Feng-chan got up, leaving him with only a slight reaction. This made him subconsciously complain in a joking and teasing tone: "Feng-chan! Isn't it a bit too much to treat a young man like this?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Feng Xingshou started gaining weight in middle school and even suffered bullying related to romance because of her weight, which she wished she could erase from her memory.
She had always kept her distance from men, and no man had ever pursued her or made any ambiguous moves towards her. This made her completely unaware of certain aspects of her behavior. Now, listening to Hagiwara's complaints, she had no idea what he was complaining about.
Seeing her blank look, Kenji Hagiwara deliberately swung his leg to remind her: "Don't seduce young men. Even police officers can have the urge to make mistakes."
"Temptation?" Feng Xingshou didn't understand what he was talking about at first, until he saw his long legs for half a minute and recalled the hard, painful sensation on his chest just now, and then he realized what he meant.
Her face immediately turned bright red, and she stammered in rebuttal: "Who tempted you? I'm over 30 years old, how could I possibly tempt someone more than ten years younger than me? Besides, you have to be in that position to open the door and get the treasure chest, it wasn't..."
"I'm older than you!" Kenji Hagiwara looked at her face, which instantly turned bright red, and with a frivolous yet experienced air, he reached out and lifted her chin, saying, "A woman in her thirties, blushing so much just from a touch?"
"I'm so angry because of you... um..." In his 30-plus years of life, Feng Xingshou had never been touched in such an intimate way by a man with whom he had no family relationship, and the other party was a super handsome young man.
After being caught in her embarrassment, she instinctively tried to make excuses, but before she could finish speaking, a pair of soft, warm lips pressed against hers, silencing her completely, and gently touching her...
The unexpected development stunned her, and her mind even went blank. Ever since her first love letter was secretly photographed by her deskmate in middle school and forwarded to many people... In short, after being bullied at school, she kept her distance from the opposite sex.
Having worked for many years without any men expressing interest in her, she felt that as an overweight woman, she had no feminine charm and that no man would like a woman like her or want to be around her...
Driven by this inferiority complex, she tried her best to avoid any opportunity to have contact or entanglement with men. However, she never expected that at this moment, her first kiss would be stolen by a handsome young man who was more than ten years younger than her, which made her stop thinking on the spot.
Her blank stare and lack of resistance led Kenji Hagiwara to mistakenly believe that she didn't dislike his kiss. The soft touch was even better than he had imagined, making him unable to resist taking advantage of the situation. He reached out and pressed the back of her head, pulling her closer to him as he continued to explore deeper...
After a strange feeling, when time seemed to pass both quickly and slowly, the panting Kaze Seishu was finally released. Hagiwara Kenji looked at her unusually rosy lips and chuckled, saying, "Cola flavored, very sweet!"
"Shut up, you drank the Coke with dinner too." Feng Xingshou wasn't angry about losing her first kiss. In her mind, it was a loss for a young, handsome guy to kiss a middle-aged woman like her, not for her. So she wasn't angry.
But the fact that the other person was clearly younger than her yet seemed so adept at kissing and flirting with women made her feel frustrated. She felt like she had lost, that she had very little experience and was not even as good as someone more than ten years younger than her.
