☆ Threat, I want you
To go or not to go, that is the question.
Ye Xi stared blankly at the hand reaching out to her, long and strong, giving her a strange sense of security. She could hardly believe what Wesker had just said. Clearly… clearly you and Alex were fighting fiercely, how could you suddenly… suddenly appear in front of me just as I was trying to slip away, saying something like "come here"… Hey, Alex was waiting for you with such anticipation!
What's with this weird "come to my bowl and I absolutely won't change to a bigger one" vibe you're giving me?! Wait, this joke is way too old! No, Ye Xi, how can you still be so brain-dead at a time like this!
Seeing Ye Xi's expression shift from surprise to blankness, then to a troubled and miserable one, Wesker, who was in a state of rage, suddenly felt as if he had deflated, and a feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart once again. Damn it, he had forgotten that he couldn't rely on the reliability of Ye Xi's brain!
Therefore, Wesker wisely suppressed his murderous aura and oppressive tone. Under the hostile gazes of the other four, he flashed forward and held Ye Xi, who seemed to be lost in thought, firmly in his arms.
Clearly, Ye Xi hadn't had time to retract her wandering soul. She looked up at Wesker blankly, blinking. His upward gaze allowed her to clearly see his deep, azure eyes through the gaps... Wait! Blue?!
Ye Xi snapped back to her senses, and in her astonishment, she did something very irrational—she suddenly reached out and grabbed Wesker's sunglasses off his nose! This time, the observation was very clear; Ye Xi was certain she wasn't seeing things, because those deep blue eyes were staring at her coldly!
...Uh...cold and icy...
Damn it, Ye Xi, you idiot, what are you doing playing with these terrorist sunglasses?! These are sunglasses! Sunglasses!! The ultimate favorite of this morbidly obsessed sunglasses addict!
Ye Xi then realized the stupid thing she had just done, and embarrassed, she chuckled awkwardly, wiping her sunglasses on Wesker's stylish black leather jacket as she laughed: "Heh...hehe...dirty...dirty, let me wipe it for you...wipe it..."
The person glanced at the sunglasses that were constantly rubbing against his clothes, then at the person who was laughing bitterly and was obviously complaining, and most likely the person complaining was related to him. So, the person's eyes became even sharper.
Ye Xi felt extremely uncomfortable under Wesker's gaze and immediately stopped what she was doing. She quickly put her sunglasses back on Wesker's nose, intending to take a big step back to create some distance to avoid being beaten up, but found that she could hardly move at all—Wesker had probably discovered Ye Xi's escape plan, so he held her even tighter, directly advancing to a "leash"!
This...this...this is unscientific! Ye Xi screamed inwardly. She knew perfectly well that Alex definitely had something Wesker wanted, but this guy wasn't forcing a confession from Alex and instead appeared in front of her...and more importantly, he was hugging her so tightly! Is this world some kind of fantasy?!
Even if he discovered she was trying to escape, this is still unacceptable! How could she not know that her status as an experimental subject was actually more important than what Alex possessed?!
Congratulations! Ye Xi has accidentally revealed the truth once again.
Of course, I won't tell you that Uncle Wei was only holding Ye Xi to see her colorful expressions—such a perverse pleasure! Hmph ╭(╯///^///╰)╮.
“Wesker… Alex, that bastard, is over there!” Feeling her body pressed tightly against his, Ye Xi’s morals returned as if she had just come back from her trip. Her face turned red, and she tried to distract Wesker by pushing him away while stammering.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she pushed, Wesker wouldn't let go; instead, he held her even tighter. Oh, damn it, my waist! Ye Xi almost choked on her breath as his grip tightened again. If one of his hands is this strong, what would happen if he used both? My body would shatter! Damn it, if you want to torture me, just say so! Aren't you tired of beating around the bush? Making me convulse and get a hot face is just not logical!
With one arm around Ye Xi's waist and the other hand playfully deflecting Alice's attack, Wesker leaned down and whispered dangerously in Ye Xi's ear, "Of course I know that scum is already at his last gasp. But these little flies are really annoying, so I'll take care of them too, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi immediately stopped struggling. "Damn it, isn't this blatant threatening? You're so powerful, why would you need to threaten someone as insignificant as her? Is it really necessary?!" She didn't care if Alice, Chris, and Claire died; these people were irrelevant to her, and a selfish person like Ye Xi wouldn't care. But Carlos and Nicola… they were good buddies (seriously!), and Ye Xi couldn't possibly ignore them.
Wesker clearly noticed this; when he threatened her, his eyes kept glancing in their direction, which Ye Xi could see clearly from below!
But… Ye Xi lowered her head and gritted her teeth. She really, really didn’t want to be played like a guinea pig by Wesker anymore. She didn’t want to follow him, and she couldn’t follow him… But, according to him, if she didn’t obediently go with him, he would kill everyone without hesitation…
Damn it, Ye Xi, when did you start caring about anyone but yourself? Have you forgotten that in the beginning, it was just yourself? Back then, you confidently said that protecting yourself was enough, so why are you acting like this now…?
But Carlos and Nikola are her few companions! If Wesker is determined to kill them, she can't stop him at all, can she?!
Seeing Ye Xi's head bowed in silence, Wesker knew she was hesitant. But this hesitation didn't make him happy; instead, it filled him with irritation. Her hesitation—what did that mean? It meant that his selfish little thing still cared about people, and those two people she cared about were standing ten meters in front of him. With his current abilities, he could kill these defenseless humans with a mere wave of his hand…
Sensing Wesker's murderous intent towards Carlos and Nikola, Ye Xi, still struggling with her own thoughts, panicked and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, gently pulling him down to draw his attention to her: "Wait, I'll stay with you, as long as you don't touch them!"
Ye Xi immediately regretted her words. She hadn't even thought it through properly before blurting it out impulsively… But words spoken are words, and Ye Xi had no intention of taking them back—Fine, I'll follow you for now, and then I'll figure out how to escape. With my brilliant mind, Ye Xi, how could I possibly outrun you, little Wesker?
Well, hearing Ye Xi's words, Wesker felt even more annoyed. Such human-like emotional fluctuations would have interested him in studying them carefully in the past, but he wasn't in the mood for that now.
In truth, if he told Ye Xi that she would surely die if she didn't come with him, given the little thing's obsessive love for life, she would definitely cling to his leg and run off with him without hesitation. But Wesker didn't want to do that. If he could, he would prefer Ye Xi to go with him willingly, not for her own life, and certainly not for the lives of other people (other men).
In the end, he still had to resort to threats… Wesker didn't want to think about what his current situation meant; all he wanted to do was vent his frustrations. However, he was a man of his word, so the natural target of his venting became the very miserable Alex.
As a man who had temporarily lost his senses, Wesker released Ye Xi, turned around, and flashed to Alex's side...
Released, Ye Xi took a few deep breaths. It wasn't that she was cowardly, but that bastard's aura was terrifying; even thinking about it sent chills down her spine. Seeing Wesker, enveloped in a world-destroying murderous intent, approach someone, Ye Xi wondered what emotional entanglement had occurred between Alex and Wesker that made Wesker hate him so much.
As for Alice and the other four, although they didn't hear the transaction between Wesker and Ye Xi, they had all seen their hugging and other seemingly affectionate interactions. With all sorts of strange speculations, they stared at Ye Xi's back with complicated expressions, making her back, which had just warmed up, start to break out in a cold sweat again.
She couldn't very well tell them that she had sacrificed herself to go straight into the wolf's den for their little lives... Feeling the gazes behind her, Ye Xi's lips twitched incessantly. She genuinely couldn't bring herself to say something like that, a saintly statement. Was she supposed to put on a sanctimonious and righteous act while doing so? So, she simply turned around and solemnly fabricated a story: "I must go with him; only he can cure my illness."
Congratulations to Ye Xi for once again stumbling upon the truth by accident! (Applause)
They exchanged a glance, and Ye Xi's serious expression didn't seem to be a lie. "So, for my own life (and yours), I will not allow you to kill Albert Wesker now. (Unless you want to die right now)."
Nikolai had been frowning, and was about to say something when Carlos stopped him: "I understand, Ye Xi. Then take care of yourself, don't die too soon. I knew you still owed me and Nikolai a few bottles of wine." He nodded solemnly to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi smiled. She understood that Carlos already knew something, and that he understood the meaning behind her words—they were just a burden here. She waved her hand, walked to the wall, and leaned against it, no longer looking at them.
The situation had been tense before, so Ye Xi hadn't paid attention. But now that she sat down, she realized how exhausted she was. Her whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart, and her head was throbbing so badly that she hadn't even noticed when Carlos and the others left, let alone gone to watch the final battle between the two Weskers...
A chill enveloped her entire body, and the suffocating feeling gripped Ye Xi's head like a demonic claw. She painfully opened her eyes from her dazed state, a wave of sourness rushing into them. She couldn't help but blew out a few bubbles, then immediately covered her mouth—she was in the sea! And the large ship she had been on had been split in two!
Ye Xi frantically tried to swim upwards, only to discover, to her dismay, that a heavy object had somehow become entangled around her leg, pulling her deeper into the unfathomable darkness. The suffocating sensation made her open her mouth in despair, desperately seeking air, but all she received was the salty, briny seawater…
Could it be... in this world overrun by the zombie virus, I didn't die from being bitten and poisoned, but from drowning? ... Ye Xi gave a bitter smile. If she had known, she would have just left without a care in the world... She could feel the air in her lungs decreasing little by little, and her struggles were getting weaker and weaker...
In her daze, Ye Xi seemed to see the face that had been flashing through her mind before she died. Then, for the first time, she felt that the air flowing into her mouth was so sweet that she couldn't help but hug the source of the air tightly, sticking out her tongue to explore that warmth, trying to take more...
...Hmm...Did I die? Drown so shamefully in the zombie world? Ye Xi snuggled closer to the warm pillow...Ah, not dead. It was all a dream. She was still in her dorm bed. This dream was really long...Ye Xi yawned, habitually touching, squeezing, and rubbing her pillow...
Huh? It's so bouncy? Huh? It's hardened? (←Think of anything impure and drag them out to be shot!) Does my Rilakkuma plushie really look like this?
Ye Xi paused, then abruptly opened her eyes, raised her head, and her suppressed bloodshot eyes met those of a dazed black eye… Then, the dazed black eye stared blankly, her gaze sweeping up and down…
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Don't move..."
"Screw you, don't move! Do you think I'm going to chop your head off while you're sitting here?!" Ye Xi, in her terror, didn't hear the danger Wesker was implying, nor did she notice that his deep voice had become hoarse. All she wanted to do now was get off this bastard's lap as quickly as possible!
Damn, why is he holding me tighter and tighter! The thought had barely crossed his mind when Wesker's hand, which had been on Ye Xi's waist to prevent her from falling while she was unconscious, moved to her buttocks. With a sudden pull, he yanked Ye Xi into his arms, making her straddle his lap. His other hand then grabbed her chin, forcing her to look directly at him. Her suppressed bloodshot eyes turned dark red, as if countless waves of madness were surging within them.
Then, in his distorted, deep, hoarse voice, Wesker said dangerously, "I want you..."
What?! Ye Xi froze as if someone had pressed pause, not daring to even blink. Because she could clearly feel what was happening beneath her.
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you...
This isn't a question, nor is it asking for her opinion; it's simply telling her directly...
With a deafening "boom," as if struck by lightning, Ye Xi was completely dumbfounded—what on earth was going on in this world?! Had she somehow somehow transmigrated into some kind of erotic novel again?! This was illogical!
Author's Note: I'm crying, JJ is so cruel! It locked everything before it even started, cough cough. As for the next chapter, tsk, don't expect anything, I promise nothing (picking nose). And for Ye Xi, who always messes things up, don't expect anything either, maybe not even a scrap of meat (picking nose). Regarding updates, I'm a mobile user and I write on the fly, so the speed can be fast or slow, and there will often be incomprehensible typos and stuff. You'll have to get used to it, you've been lurking for so long without anyone giving you mouth-to-mouth oxygen, so why don't you come up and get some fresh air yourself? Self-reliance is the best policy!
