Chapter 7 Everyone in Cocoon Village except her was lying to her! ...
Being stared at like that by the White Bone Scholar once again, Yu Naixin no longer couldn't help but blush reflexively.
After all, she wouldn't develop any real romantic feelings for the White Bone Scholar; at most, she would only have some admiration and recognition.
When the two first met, the way the White Bone Scholar looked at her was no different from the other two male guests; he looked like he had spotted a big piece of meat. Yu Naixin has not forgotten this.
The best that could happen between her and these male guests was a mutually beneficial partnership; there was no possibility of a relationship that could ever progress further.
Yu Naixin could see that the White Bone Scholar's eyes had been fixed on her without moving, but the hand holding the jade pendant was unconsciously tightening its grip, so much so that even the surface skin could not hold it up, revealing the taut knuckles underneath.
Because he was quite afraid of his skeletal form, the considerate Skeleton Scholar had long since kept silent and tried his best to maintain his human form in front of Yu Naixin.
But now, as the White Bone Scholar awaited her reply, he was so nervous that he couldn't pay attention to these small details.
He was really hoping she would say yes.
Yu Naixin: "..."
Using her mind to open the bullet screen interface, Yu Naixin saw viewers who were even more excited than she was.
[What did I just hear?! The male guest confessed his feelings to the female guest?!]
[What a sweet confession! I love it! Female guest, please say yes!]
Using a jade pendant as a token of love is so romantic! Didn't I remember the female guest clearly showing interest in the male guest by the campfire? Let's fast forward to their mutual affection and confirm their relationship!
Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!
[Why is the female guest still so clueless at such an exciting moment? I'll use a tip to urge you to say yes, okay?!]
True to their word, after the first notification of a donation appeared, many viewers followed suit, and Yu Naixin's ears were constantly ringing with the sound of receiving Sweet Coins.
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Impatient to Wait"!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 10 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Zhang San"!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 9 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Urgent Urgent I am the King of Urgent Kingdom"!]
[...]
Yu Naixin experienced for the first time the feeling of receiving so many tips that she was overwhelmed.
Roughly calculated, the total is almost over a hundred!
Not to mention that she already had 20 Sweet Coins. With that money, her access to the system store could very well be upgraded by another level!
Yu Naixin's eyes lit up.
In any case, the core task for her in the dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%" was to engage in sweet interactions with the male guests in order to earn tips from the audience.
By agreeing to accept the "token of love" from the White Bone Scholar, Yu Naixin could not only further complete the core mission, but also potentially obtain an item with special abilities. Coupled with the good impression the White Bone Scholar had given her, Yu Naixin finally accepted the jade pendant without hesitation.
"I..." Yu Naixin was still not used to such intimate interaction with someone she didn't really know, and she stammered a little, "I'm willing..."
The instant the jade pendant landed completely in Yu Naixin's hand, she suddenly saw an extremely... enthusiastic smile bloom on the face of the skeleton scholar opposite her!
The white-boned scholar's mouth stretched wide, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.
His lips gradually turned up to an angle that a living person could never reach, almost taking up half of his face. Then, the flesh of the White Bone Scholar's entire face disappeared, revealing a sinister and terrifying skull face to Yu Naixin.
"Since you've accepted my token of love..." The skeleton scholar's skull teeth chattered as he laughed, "Then Miss Yu, you belong to me!"
"How I decide to deal with the young lady is entirely my right."
The White Bone Scholar's tone was as gentle as ever, but the content of his words clearly told Yu Naixin that it was not like that at all!
Yu Naixin: "...!!!"
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
Oh no!!!
That damned, familiar sense of foreboding gripped every nerve in her body once again. Yu Naixin immediately threw the jade pendant in her hand as fast as she could, trying to throw it as far as possible!
Since the White Bone Scholar gave it to her as a token of their love, this jade pendant must have some importance. Yu Naixin hoped that the White Bone Scholar would be distracted and pick it up, so that she would have time to escape!
However, after Yu Naixin tried her best to throw the jade pendant away, she found that it seemed to be stuck to her hand and she couldn't separate it from her at all!
Yu Naixin stared in disbelief at the jade pendant in her hand, completely panicking.
The viewers in the live stream then began another round of familiar revelry.
[Hahaha, I've been waiting for this scene for so long! I can finally see it!]
[This is hilarious! A guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%" actually fell for one of the extras? Are they just asking for trouble? Hahahaha!]
[This male guest with the skeleton costume was quite a good actor. From the moment he brought the female guest into the venue, he took care of her with tenderness and consideration in every detail, gradually softening her psychological defenses and making her willingly accept the token of love, thus triggering the hunting conditions~]
[What kind of token of love is this? It's clearly a death warrant, hahaha!]
[He's a new guest after all, so he's still quite inexperienced~ But if you're willing to risk your life to make me happy, it's worth it~]
[This female guest is really weak. Even if the skeleton wasn't on his home turf, he could easily crush her. Yet he specifically brought her to his home to slowly butcher her. Isn't that a kind of love for the female guest? How sweet!]
[So sweet! I'm giving a tip to the newbie right now! Hahahaha!]
The notifications of donations she received were so numerous that Yu Naixin was overwhelmed, even more so than when she was urged to accept Bai Gu Shusheng's offer before.
The audience laughed and were satisfied with the monkey's comical performance, and they all took out rewards.
Yu Naixin now realizes that she is the monkey forcibly chained to the stage, used for the amusement of the audience.
She understands everything.
Once the truth was revealed, many clues that had gone unnoticed at the time became particularly noticeable.
The white-boned scholar deliberately pretended to be gentle and considerate, respecting and caring for her, and showing affection for her in a way that was only polite and respectful. However, this was not the thing that made Yu Naixin feel the most heartbroken and fearful.
What chilled and terrified her most was that, in order to cooperate with the performance of the White Bone Scholar, all the viewers in the live broadcast room deliberately deceived her!
This isn't because her permissions are too low and many comments are blocked by the system. Yu Naixin knows what the comments were like during the last simulation, when the paper doll boy wasn't a good actor at all!
This time, these viewers deliberately pretended to be normal people in the barrage, creating a brief peaceful atmosphere for her, and then used a lot of sweet coins to reward Yu Naixin, which finally made her accept the so-called token of love from the White Bone Scholar!
Now that the die is cast and there is no turning back, they no longer need to pretend. One by one, they tear off their hypocritical masks and vent their long-suppressed malice on her!
Everyone except her was lying to her!!!
"ah--!"
Yu Naixin couldn't help but scream.
The excruciating pain forcibly pulled her away from all other thoughts. Yu Naixin lowered her head and saw her... limp right hand.
Her right hand was nothing but a piece of rotten flesh, and blood was gushing out of the wound irregularly, dripping out drop by drop.
So soft that it has no bones to support it.
At this moment, the entire bone structure of her right hand was in the hands of the skeleton scholar who was standing right in front of her.
Just now, the White Bone Scholar used his sharp bone fingers to cut open Yu Naixin's hand and carefully removed the intact bone.
Perhaps due to unique techniques, the slender hand bones in the White Bone Scholar's hands were not stained with a single trace of blood, and were entirely white with a slight yellow tinge, which is the normal color of human bones.
He handled the hand bones in his hand as if they were works of art, and even though his face was now just a skeleton, his occasional satisfied sighs revealed his fascination and appreciation.
The scholar with white bones murmured, "When Miss Yu held the hem of my robe with this hand, I could tell that the bones in that hand must be very beautiful..."
"Finally, I've seen the real thing, and it truly hasn't disappointed me!"
"If the bones in one hand are this beautiful, what about the other hand?!"
The White Bone Scholar's tone suddenly turned extremely fanatical: "Where are the two arms?! Where are the two feet?! Where are the two legs?! Where are the ribs?! Where is the spine?!"
The more the White Bone Scholar spoke, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to place Yu Naixin's right hand bone on the table next to him, and then directly used his hands to make a huge incision in Yu Naixin's left hand as well, and took the hand bone out from Yu Naixin's flesh!
Yu Naixin was in so much pain she almost fainted: "Ah—!!!"
However, at this moment, the White Bone Scholar, just like the Paper Doll Boy before, released an exceptionally terrifying Yin Qi pressure in his residence. Under the control of this pressure, Yu Naixin was completely unable to move!
She could only watch helplessly as the Bone Scholar removed the bones from her two hands, then her two arms, and then her two feet, and her two legs...
Unlike her previous death where all her organs were corroded and dissolved together, this time, Yu Naixin experienced death part by part.
Like the ancient torture of slow slicing, Yu Naixin was unable to completely breathe her last until only her head, spine, and a dying heart remained hanging from her rotting flesh.
She was in so much pain that she no longer knew what she was.
It hurts... Help... It hurts! ... Help me! ... It hurts! ...
The skull was finally removed by the Bone Scholar. He pieced together Yu Naixin's complete skeleton and exclaimed in amazement, "So beautiful..."
Yu Naixin's eyeballs detached from the soft, fleshy face, bounced twice on the ground, and rolled to the feet of the Bone Scholar.
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
