I’m A Male Mom in a Nightmare GameCh16 - Faceless Monster

Yes, a witch.

  rWPh3a

Of course, the gender is unquestionably male.

In the instance where Shi Yuebai was turned into a witch, “witch” is just a generic term, representing non-human beings cursed to gain power. They come in both male and female forms, with different appearances and varied abilities. The only common trait is their tendency to go berserk and lose their rationality on the night of the full moon.

The black cat is the half-body of his soul, reflecting his deepest desires and obsessions. It is also a symbol of his soul gradually shifting towards a more beastly nature.

“…Shut up,” Shi Yuebai grumbled in a hoarse voice, swaying his tail to avoid the black cat’s bites. Although the cat’s small fangs couldn’t pierce his skin, having its saliva on his tail fur was quite disgusting.

“Bah!” The black cat’s eyes widened like copper bells, radiating lightning-like intelligence. “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!”

It cleared its throat vigorously and began to recite loudly, “According to Article 237 of our country’s criminal law, using violence, coercion, or other means to force sexual offenses against others or insult women is punishable by up to five years of imprisonment or detention. If the offense is committed in a group or in a public place, or if there are other aggravating circumstances, the sentence can be more than five years of imprisonment.”

“For those who sexually assault children, they shall be punished more severely in accordance with the provisions of the first two paragraphs.”

After finishing, the black cat emphasized the key terms once more: “Sexually assaulting children! Punished more severely!”

  lcwQu

Without considering other factors, just listening to its repetition, at least Shi Yuebai took the legal education course it assigned him seriously.

Shi Yuebai couldn’t help but rub his forehead. He became even more sensitive and fragile due to the cat’s relentless chatter, as if he had been scratched vigorously by this foul-mouthed cat like a scratching post, and his breaking point was just seconds away.

“To the end of the earth! Where there’s no fragrant grass!”

“Why bother! Unrequited love! Little tender grass!”

  P8xi2t

The black cat yelled and danced wildly.

When Shi Yuebai is close to the full moon, his state is the most unstable. Violent and ferocious emotions can’t help but surge up in his eyes, and his canine teeth protrude from the corners of his lips, ready to move.

The handsome and sharp face vaguely reveals the ferocious and twisted appearance of an animal, with some downy hair sprouting on the cheeks and sides of the neck.

The witch who turned him into a witch put a curse on him. The curse made this cold and arrogant man, who had rejected her love, go mad and uncontrollable on every full moon night, unable to control his frenzy, and he watched himself turn into an ugly and hideous monster.

In the words of the black cat, if there was a rose that gradually lost its petals, he could reenact the story of beauty and the beast. 

“Shut up!” Shi Yuebai grabbed the black cat’s chattering mouth, his eyes turned red and filled with bloodshot, “Don’t make me say it again!”

“Alright, alright.” The black cat held its tongue and symbolically conceded, “I won’t say anything, I won’t say anything at all.”

“P jyrbieafis kbc’a rjs atja sbe’gf j nlbifca qrsmtbqjat ktb aegcfv qfgnfgafv ogbw gfqgfrrlcu ibnf mbeut mbeut mbeut…” Ktgfjafcfv ys Vtl Tefyjl’r wfcjmlcu ujhf, atf yijmx mja klrfis mbnfgfv lar wbeat jcv rkjiibkfv atf ecolclrtfv rjgmjrw, lar fsfr aegcfv jcv aegcfv ab ibbx ja Vtl Tefyjl, ktb kjr rtjxlcu klat jcufg.

There was no way, that was its nature. If you wanted to blame it for being a troublemaker and speaking rudely, you should first hold Shi Yuebai, who was its original source, responsible.

“It’s only four-thirty, let’s take another nap.” The black cat nimbly escaped from Shi Yuebai’s hands and jumped on his well-defined and powerful eight-pack abs. The cat’s face showed a humanized sarcasm, “Maybe you can continue the dream you just had.”

  gZJytj

It jumped off Shi Yuebai and transformed into the appearance of a child about six or seven years old. However, its shape was like a poorly projected image, sometimes slightly taller and fatter, sometimes shorter and thinner, and at some moments, it would suddenly turn into a tall and slim adult. It wore old patient gowns and dragged a pair of oversized slippers, with a head of messy, yellowing hair and a strange, unpleasant smell coming from its body.

As the black cat complained, this was definitely an unlikable, ugly child, but it appeared as an effective soothing agent for Shi Yuebai’s emotions that were about to break free from rational restraints. 

  fq8bhc

In the blink of an eye, his sharp teeth, beard, fur, ears, and tail all disappeared, and his eyes returned to the deep brown irises of a human, lovingly gazing at the child that the black cat had transformed into.

It was like watching a dream that would disappear in the blink of an eye.

  H1QO w

“…” Shi Yuebai opened his mouth, and a certain name was about to be called, but just like the dream he had just had, it disappeared the moment it touched reality, leaving only a restless blank space in his memory.

The black cat could probably sense what he was thinking, and it complained in a meowing tone, “So, I’m telling you, how many times have you had this dream? Can’t you get a good look at what that person looks like?” 

  nYdfsC

It said, raising its head, revealing a face without any features, “You have no shame, but I still do!”

This appearance was its true form as the half of Shi Yuebai’s soul, the embodiment of Shi Yuebai’s deepest obsession. Therefore, as long as Shi Yuebai could not remember what his “White Moonlight” looked like, it would turn into a faceless monster, a faceless monster who has no face to meet people.

  EN6QlT

Very angry.

The black cat, looking at Shi Yuebai’s irresistibly charming face, became increasingly envious and jealous, itching to the roots of its teeth, and couldn’t help but pounce on him, forcefully scratching Shi Yuebai’s cheeks.

  qeGmaY

Shi Yuebai didn’t say a word, lying down and letting the black cat do as it pleased. The black cat twisted his face, poked his abs, bit his arm, but the baby’s teeth couldn’t do much but make its gums hurt. It angrily pulled his throat and meowed at him.

Relying on his good looks, he didn’t care about the life and death of his half-soul body. Did he know that his faceless and ugly appearance would be the subject of ridicule by his kind? Even half-soul bodies had their own self-esteem!

  dWTL3w

Meow, meow, meow! Cat profanity!

“Not… very good-looking,” Shi Yuebai reached out to touch the featureless face, and although he couldn’t remember the person’s appearance, he was more certain than anyone else that the person was definitely beautiful and gentle, and that the whole world would become warm and bright when they smiled.

Even though everyone said that his memories of being kidnapped by a crazy woman and that person were just a result of his young age confusing nightmares with reality, even the S-rank witch in the instance ridiculed him for his hopeless infatuation with a non-existent illusion, he was still driven by an inexplicable intuition and firmly believed in the truth of his memories. That person definitely existed, and he was not just a playmate he had imagined when he was a child.

That person existed, and they had promised that they would escape together from the place where the crazy woman, the old witch lived. He would give half of his parents to him, and he would never change his mind until he died.

If the black cat’s current faceless form had eyes, it would surely roll them up to the sky. Unfortunately, its face had no eyes, so it could only angrily bite Shi Yuebai’s nose before leaving.

Today was a workday, and Shi Yuebai had to get up early and go to a meeting!

  JTnxE9

Early in the morning, the leaders held a meeting, and those below had to be on standby even earlier. Board meetings were even more loathsome, and even interns like Zhou Qian, who only worked two days a week, had to come in early to work.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Zhou Qian took a sip of strong iced Americano to try to awaken her groggy mind, but the effect was not great. She had been in a deep slumber for over ten hours since she came out of the instance, but the accumulated mental damage from the instance was not something that could be resolved with just one night’s sleep.  mOGgvF

When the alarm clock woke her up, she was in so much pain that it felt like half her body was paralyzed, and it took sheer willpower to get out of bed.

So, why did she decide to come out and find an internship during her precious summer break in her freshman year? VlRT6y

Oh, it was to gain social experience and break free from being naïve, so she wouldn’t end up getting ripped off in the instance and happily handing over her money.

While struggling with her weariness, Zhou Qian absentmindedly thought about the points she would receive as a reward from “Night of the Birth of the Gods”. She had lost consciousness at the critical moment of the instance settlement and hadn’t heard the part where the instance rewards were given out.  5eTfjL

She was now in a hurry, having woken up to the alarm clock, and had rushed to wash up and go to work. Because she was so tired, she had nearly missed her stop on the subway, and she still hadn’t had a good look at the profits from her last instance.

She felt that she had performed better in the last instance and should at least receive a “C” grade… Zhou Qian dared not expect too much, and after some calculations, she thought about how she could best spend the 12,000 points that she believed she had received. She began to consider what items to buy. s9z67r

She should buy the amulet that she had been eyeing for a while… then check if there were any cheap large potions to stock up on… and she also needed to buy…

Zhou Qian’s consciousness was drifting, and she was yawning repeatedly. The morning gossip from her colleagues kept entering her ears, with the most talked-about topic being the project manager from the headquarters who had come to inspect, also known as the group’s young prince, Shi Yuebai.  Jf7CHA

Before Zhou Qian had even seen him, she already knew from her colleagues that he was tall and handsome with a full eight-pack of abs and pampered a cat as if it were his own son – various kinds of useless gossip.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

At 8:30 in the morning, the main character of the gossip, Shi Yuebai, entered the company’s gates right on time. Zhou Qian looked at the tall and handsome young man, who was in sharp contrast to the balding general manager, and inwardly agreed with her colleagues’ assessment. pDvlHo

He was indeed quite handsome.

However, in her heart, Zhou Qian felt that Lin De’an was a little more handsome. With his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an air of righteousness, his broad back in front of her gave her a sense of security… D 8aXM

Ahem.

On one side, Zhou Qian’s girlish heart bubbled up a little, and on the other side, Lin De’an coincidentally sneezed as if they had some telepathic connection. He covered his head in pain and crouched in the patrol car, listening to his partner, Zheng Ge, complain about how young people nowadays stayed up late, ate takeout all the time, and didn’t take care of their health. He told Lin De’an to go to the hospital after work and not let a minor illness turn into a major one. wcOmRj

Lin De’an nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved that he wasn’t the one driving the patrol car. Otherwise, the intense pain that struck him the moment he exited the instance and immediately responded to an emergency could have resulted in a car accident.

One moment he was leaving the instance, the next he was on a police call. He couldn’t think of any other player who had a more miserable experience. The game and reality seamlessly connected without any buffer, making him recall that before being pulled into the game, he hadn’t been comfortably lying at home for a good sleep. Instead, he had just received a new emergency call with his partner while on patrol. They were rushing to the scene with sirens blaring. l BxaQ

After that, they hadn’t stopped the entire night, dealing with drunken disturbances and bar disturbances. He didn’t even have time to go to the pharmacy to buy a box of painkillers.

Zhou Qian had told him that the first time was very painful, a searing pain like the top of his head being lifted off because he had been slashed in the stomach, but Lin De’an really hadn’t expected it to be so painful. It became so unbearable that he eventually blacked out and woke up in the hospital with an IV. Y36GAa

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

For Xu Yintang, it didn’t matter if the sky fell, once he sent the little boy out the door, his mission was considered complete, and he paid no attention to what happened next. He returned to his usual routine, which was no different from his usual schedule. He was brought back to the second ward with other patients by a caregiver to participate in the afternoon group activity.

  MBKug1

The afternoon activity scheduled for today was art, which, in simple terms, meant giving each patient a few sheets of white paper and two crayons. They could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn’t make noise or run around.

Xu Yintang wasn’t very interested in painting, but Yu Kongyou was very enthusiastic about this activity. He came over excitedly, talking about how they could fold paper if they didn’t want to draw. He said he could fold various beautiful things, and he started folding a square piece of white paper into a paper lily. 

  hcovpa

“Do you want to learn? Or how about a Kawasaki rose? It’s not hard at all.”

Just by listening to Yu Kongyou’s tone, Xu Yintang could tell that he was talking nonsense. He told Yu Kongyou to teach him the simplest way to fold a lily, and Yu Kongyou continued to mumble, saying that he wouldn’t make progress if he only did the simple ones. He taught Xu Yintang how to make a beautiful paper lily with a single sheet of white paper.

  PCKsr8

The difficulty of making it wasn’t high, and this was Xu Yintang’s first time folding paper. Yet, he managed to create a pretty finished product. This prompted Xu Yintang’s tablemate, Xu ZhongPing, to stare in amazement at the paper lily he made, as if he were looking at some extremely precious treasure.

But when Xu Yintang gave the flower to him, he shook his head and refused it. He lowered his head, scrawling and drawing on the paper. The paper ended up being a black, shapeless blob, and it was impossible to tell what he had drawn.

  tZNsXS

Yu Kongyou earnestly pointed at various spots on the black blob, claiming that one was water grass and another was a fish. Xu Yintang pretended to believe him. After all, what Xu ZhongPing had drawn on the paper had nothing to do with him.

Xu ZhongPing diverted Yu Kongyou’s attention, giving Xu Yintang some peace and quiet. He found space in an open area, sat down, and opened the game panel. He then found Blueon’s free novice tutorial post from his favorites. 

  l78iPk

To others, he seemed to be lost in thought while facing the wall, but there were plenty of patients like that in the room. The walls on all sides were not enough to separate everyone.
