Chapter 171 "What, not running anymore?"...
Ning Wanwan kept thinking that she shouldn't be the weakest among ordinary people.
But for some reason, she was always portrayed as the weakest one.
It can only be said that everyone around her is too strong; even a child like Xiaozhou is much more capable than her.
What Ning Wanwan couldn't understand even more was why she, an ordinary person, was encountering so many predicaments that shouldn't be a source of trouble for someone as ordinary as her with no particular strengths.
But she won't get an answer for now.
Ning Wanwan tried to move slowly and quietly, with a clear goal in mind.
Fortunately, there was no noise outside, so Ansel and Xiaozhou should both be asleep in their respective rooms.
Ning Wanwan didn't dare to relax and continued to walk slowly to the other side, carefully watching her feet to avoid bumping into anything.
When they finally arrived at their destination, Ning Wanwan felt as if an eternity had passed.
She gently opened the door, then quickly slipped inside, and then swiftly closed the door again.
Safety!
Ning Wanwan let out a breath and revealed a small smile.
She slightly raised the lamp in her hand and looked around the room.
The room's furnishings remained unchanged, which was normal, given that less than a day had passed. However, Ning Wanwan also didn't see any items that clearly belonged to Qi Lin and Zhou Yanyao.
It's possible they didn't leave anything behind, or it's possible they disposed of it.
This was within Ning Wanwan's expectations. She lowered her head and began to search carefully, starting with the drawer where things were most likely to be placed.
After searching for about two hours, I found nothing.
Ning Wanwan sighed silently, but she wasn't discouraged. She had already prepared herself to spend the whole night here.
She just hoped that she wouldn't end up with nothing.
Ning Wanwan hastily wiped the dust off her face and continued to search carefully, not even missing places like the cracks in the bed.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
A voice suddenly rang out, exceptionally clear in the quiet night. Ning Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost fell to the ground.
How come there are other people here!
And this voice sounds so familiar, I feel like I just heard it recently...
Ning Wanwan suddenly turned her head and saw a face that was not unfamiliar; she had met the day before.
The face that belongs to "Jeremy" still has that same punchable expression on it.
Seeing Ning Wanwan looking over, his smile widened, and he lightly jumped down from the windowsill, casually waving the thing in his hand.
"I thought you'd just leave if you couldn't find it. Why are you so persistent?"
"Humans are really stubborn," he remarked, almost judgmentally.
Ning Wanwan took two steps back warily: "When did you get here?"
“I’ve always been here,” Jeremy shrugged. “It’s just that your human eyesight and hearing are too poor to notice me.”
Jeremy had a "this is your human fault" look on his face, leaving Ning Wanwan speechless.
“I suggest you stop moving towards the door, because you can’t outrun me,” Jeremy suddenly said.
Ning Wanwan knew he had noticed her little trick, but how could she not run away when the door was so close to her!
She quickly turned around to escape, but the moment her hand touched the door, she was firmly suppressed by a strong force!
It was so close! Ning Wanwan almost burst into tears.
The force binding her was extremely strong, and Jeremy's smug voice still came from behind her ear: "I told you, you can't escape, why won't you believe me!"
Ning Wanwan struggled a few more times but still couldn't move. At this moment, she couldn't move her hands or feet, and she wished she could turn around and take a bite from him.
Jeremy seemed to enjoy watching her struggle to break free but unable to open her eyes, so he deliberately loosened his grip slightly as if teasing her, and then suppressed her again when Ning Wanwan gathered her strength to break free.
After going back and forth like this several times, Ning Wanwan realized the difference in strength between the two and chose to give up. Like a kitten that had exhausted its strength, she lay limply on the door panel and didn't move.
They have this "do whatever you want" attitude of giving up.
Jeremy clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, but then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he suddenly moved closer to Ning Wanwan's face without any hesitation, pinched her cheek, and turned her to the side.
Ning Wanwan: "...What are you doing?"
This posture is so awkward!
Jeremy's gaze kept scanning her face, making Ning Wanwan feel uneasy, wondering what he was looking at.
Then, with a look of both curiosity and disdain, he suddenly blurted out, "Your face is covered in dust; it's so dirty."
Ning Wanwan: "..."
She must have gotten it on her while she was looking for something...
But what's there to worry about! Why are you acting like you're seeing someone with dust on them for the first time!
And if you dislike me, then let me go right now!!
Jeremy didn't let go of her; instead, he pinched her cheeks until they bulged out, as if he were squeezing a toy.
Then after a while, as if he couldn't restrain himself, he began to raise his other hand and use his fingertips to rub the dust off the tip of her nose.
While making a disgusted "yikes" sound from his nose, he continued to rub the dust off her face with his fingers, his touch uneven and forceful.
When he accidentally brushed his finger too hard, leaving a faint red mark on the girl's face, he immediately moved his finger to the other cheek, looking guilty.
"It's not my fault, it's just that you humans are too fragile. How could you be so fragile?"
Jeremy's understanding of humanity has been refreshed. He had always known that humans were weak, but he had never been interested in learning more about such weak things. This was the first time he had discovered that even a light rub on the face could almost cause a scrape.
Are all humans this troublesome, or is it just this particular human in front of me?
Tsk, these humans are so troublesome, how has the King managed to hold out this long without losing interest?
Jeremy felt completely baffled.
Ning Wanwan: "..."
Ning Wanwan was also completely baffled.
If you're so disgusted, just let go! Why are you rubbing against me like that?! Ouch! Are you washing the cat's face?!
Wait, isn't he already rubbing his hand against her face, which is why he loosened his grip...?
Ning Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she kicked him with all her might, struggling to resist and trying to break free from his restraints.
...and then Jeremy easily subdued him again with one hand.
“I’ve already told you, you can’t escape from me, why won’t you believe me?” Jeremy shook his head with a helpless expression.
"And you can shout too. I've set something up here so no one will hear you," he suggested sincerely.
Ning Wanwan felt somewhat desperate.
What should I do? Am I really going to die here?
It's unlikely that a demon would show mercy...
Jeremy tapped the tip of her nose with his fingertip, then pressed it against her cheek.
Then, he pointed at her and burst into laughter without any restraint.
Seeing Ning Wanwan's bewildered look, he laughed so hard he could barely breathe: "Right now, you really look like a dusty little mouse."
Ning Wanwan's face remained expressionless for a moment.
Great, she's not so worried about being killed by this crazy guy now.
"The rat still wants to bite you, believe it or not?" Ning Wanwan sneered.
God knows she somehow learned to sneer without any instruction! It's all because of that damn devil!
"Bite me"
Jeremy paused, tilting his head slightly; he had never heard anything like this before.
After all, when humans encounter him, all they can do is scream in terror; no one would dare to say they want to bite him.
He pondered for a moment, then, not knowing what tickled his funny bone, he burst into laughter again.
Because he was laughing so hard, the devil was practically leaning against Ning Wanwan's back, his chest vibrating constantly. Even Ning Wanwan, who was being suppressed, could clearly feel that this guy was really having a great time.
Ning Wanwan: "..."
Ning Wanwan only blurted out those words in a fit of anger. Now that she had come to her senses, she felt that the undisguised laughter must have been full of mockery for her overestimation of her abilities.
Her face immediately turned red.
Damn it, I really, really want to beat this thing up, I don't even know if it's human!
Although I don't know if he's even human, he's definitely not human!
"If you want to bite me, you'd better be able to actually bite me first," Jeremy casually remarked, clearly not believing that Ning Wanwan could actually catch him.
Ning Wanwan couldn't help but say, "Then let go!"
Jeremy scoffed, "Even if you let go, you can't bite me."
After speaking, he jokingly let go of his hand, crossed his arms, and looked like he was waiting for Ning Wanwan to pounce on him and bite him.
Ning Wanwan wasn't going to play those tricks on him! She quickly turned around to open the door!
Then, in the next second, she was subdued again, like a little turtle that had been firmly restrained and could not move, and she lay back on the door panel.
This time, Ning Wanwan was smarter and stopped struggling altogether, not wanting to waste her energy.
“You’ve really given up?” Jeremy stroked his chin and poked her a few times.
It's like trying to poke her again.
Ning Wanwan twitched the corners of her mouth, giving a forced smile: "Hehe."
This guy's curiosity is so strange and so intense.
I really felt like I had become a toy being played with and turned over in novel ways.
Jeremy sighed regretfully and released her again.
This time, Ning Wanwan didn't try to run away again, but turned around to look at him.
Jeremy asked deliberately, "What, not running anymore?"
Ning Wanwan: "Didn't you say that you can't escape anyway?"
and……
Ning Wanwan's gaze fell on the half-envelope in Jeremy's hand.
Since she couldn't escape anyway, and the other party didn't seem to intend to kill her immediately, she might as well investigate more clues.
Perhaps because this guy had done so many infuriating and silly things, Ning Wanwan no longer felt much fear of non-human creatures.
"What is this?" Ning Wanwan asked. "Do you think this is what I'm looking for? Do you know what I'm looking for?"
Jeremy: "Hey, hey, you're asking so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?"
"Besides, of course I know what you're looking for." Jeremy waved the half-envelope in his hand. "You're out here in the middle of the night, what are you looking for? You can figure it out with a little thought, right?"
Ning Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine.
This devil, surprisingly, has a very quick mind.
Although he kept mocking her, he never let things get out of control.
