Everyone had a “weak spot”. For some it was their ear, others their palm. For Shan Ziwei, his entire body was covered in weak spots, but apart from the crotch, legs and navel that all male organisms were weak at, the only other place that could deal Shan Ziwei a critical blow was the collarbones. UyEZ2u

Thus, it was easy to imagine just how panicked (read: excited) a certain hypersexual was when Siren pushed Shan Ziwei down onto the body bag by his shoulders.

Siren’s body was bent over Shan Ziwei, his head bowed and his long dark blue hair hanging, landing exactly on Shan Ziwei’s collarbones, carefully tracing the white-haired young man’s skin with its owner’s hand. Shan Ziwei’s pupils went wide. He threw his head back, taking in gulps of air like a fish out of the water. All he could smell was the foul odour of rotting corpses and that sickly-sweet scent. Coupled with the other’s rose red eyes and sensual smile, he could almost see a field of bewitchingly beautiful equinox flowers blooming on a sea of rotting flesh and blood, reaching up with vines covered in thorns to bind him, devour him.

Shan Ziwei panicked. His mind went blank, leaving behind only the most primal reaction humans had in response to fear.

“H-h-help!!!” CUfanO

His cry for help was so shrill and terrified that both Unparalleled Dragon King and Rice Lover took a step forward in surprise. Unparalleled Dragon King stopped after only a step, frowning at the metal tag that Siren had crushed like paper and trying to figure out the difference in power between them. Meanwhile, Rice Lover didn’t consider so much. Seeing that her friend was in need of help, she hurriedly took out a potion bottle and immediately threw it at the prison guard.

“Thwack.”

Siren batted the potion aside without even turning his head, like swatting at a fly. Rice Lover jumped, quickly dodging the bottle that came flying back at her. She stared at the smashed bottle at her feet with clear shock. Unparalleled Dragon King was on the verge of running away. He couldn’t investigate the other’s stats, that meant that the prison guard was a bishop level pawn or higher. Shan Ziwei had that powerful prison guard occupied at the moment, perhaps they should take the chance to…

That was when host acted. The black-haired young man didn’t attack and didn’t run. He opened his mouth to speak.

“I like you.”

Every word was enunciated clearly, making it impossible for anyone to think they had heard wrong. The morgue descended into a strange silence. Unparalleled Dragon King had his mouth gaping open in a humorous fashion, staring at host with the red-faced Rice Lover before following host’s gaze towards the two entangled on the body bag.

#My teammate is gay for this guy#

#My other teammate just confessed his love to that gay couple# Ru26VQ

#This sure is a chaotic community#

Shan Ziwei sighed in relief. Only he knew that host was saving him. His Hearts SP that had almost been cleared out was pulled back to a safe level by the confession. The hypersexual was touched. Host might not look very easy to get along with, but actually he was a good person. Not only did he give him a scenario card for free, he was even willing to sacrifice his reputation to save him.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Soon enough, Shan Ziwei realized that host’s words had saved him in more ways than one.

Unparalleled Dragon King and Rice Lover weren’t even the ones Siren was looking at, yet his gaze still gave him chills. Yet, host, who was standing directly in Siren’s gaze, merely took the cross-shaped weapon that hung from his neck and attacked!

“Clang – “

Host’s cross-shaped weapon crashed against Siren’s arm with a crisp clang. However, looking closely, one would find that the cross hadn’t collided with Siren’s arm, but with the police baton that was pressed against it. Shan Ziwei rolled away, finally managing to escape Siren’s control and getting to Unparalleled Dragon King and Rice Lover’s side. Unparalleled Dragon King gave him this look and Shan Ziwei had this moment of pain, like he had choked on something; how come it felt like Unparalleled Dragon King was looking at him really weirdly… as if he was some sort of evil seductress… gDafLX

“Ah!”

Rice Lover yelped in surprise and Shan Ziwei turned his head as host was wacked by Siren’s baton, sending him crashing against the cupboards. It was hard to believe that such a thin and frail looking prison guard had such terrifying strength. Siren stood amongst the body bags, pulling his cap down as he looked towards Shan Ziwei, who stood next to Unparalleled Dragon King and Rice Lover. His expression was unreadable.

“As expected…” He sighed softly, “You chose your own kind.”

“I guess there’s no other way then.” aVoEBf

“The fuck!”

Unparalleled Dragon King was suddenly kicked into the corpse pile by Siren. He didn’t even have time to yell before Siren’s baton was coming down onto his head. That was when a cross-shaped throwing star hit Siren’s arm with startling precision, knocking the baton off target and saving Unparalleled Dragon King.

Unparalleled Dragon King hurriedly unsheathed his blade, fending Siren off with Rice Lover, one after the other. He turned his head just in time to see the cross-shaped throwing starturn and fly back to host. Clearly, he had been saved by the black-haired young man. Unparalleled Dragon King’s anger and frustration rose at being saved by the guy he didn’t like. He pushed himself up from the corpse pile, venting his frustration on Shan Ziwei, who hurriedly ran over to help.

“Keep a leash on your man!” gRDupc

Shan Ziwei was about to help Unparalleled Dragon King up but his mind blanked upon hearing this.

“He’s not my man…”

Unparalleled Dragon King gave him a look, clearing saying, “not your man my ass,” before cursing again, rolling wildly to avoid Siren’s police baton. This time it was Unparalleled Dragon King’s turn to cry for help. Seeing Shan Ziwei standing there dumbly, his Spades SP (Anger) fell in rage, “Hurry and stop him! My Clubs SP is entirely corrupted now, shit! This crazy bastard’s attack is so fucking high – “

“I can’t hurt him…” Shan Ziwei mumbled vaguely. aMTLPR

“What’s with this bullshit chivalry of yours??!”

“…”

In that moment, Shan Ziwei truly understood what it meant to eat goldthread as a mute; it was so bitter, but he couldn’t say anything! If he could act, he would’ve ages ago, but that “a true gentleman acts with their mouth not with their hands” was there.

Siren chuckled, not even bothering to hide his delight. He was way too strong. Even against three people at once, anyone could see that he clearly had the advantage. Unparalleled Dragon King was the first to waver. When Siren was distracted by Rice Lover, Unparalleled Dragon King turned and fled. opW4NO

“Fuck this, I’m out!”

Rice Lover was shocked. Just now the three of them working together was barely enough to hold Siren off. Now that Unparalleled Dragon King fled, host alone wasn’t enough to block Siren’s attacks. Siren’s baton came at her neck with unrelenting force – if it hit, it would be sure to snap her neck completely – Rice Lover’s breath stuttered in fear, and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

“Run!”

The expected pain didn’t come, and, instead, Shan Ziwei’s shout arrived. Rice Lover startled at the shout. She didn’t even open her eyes, reflexively running off. Luckily, she didn’t trip over any body bags. Opening her eyes, Rice Lover looked back, realizing that the dark-blue haired prison guard’s attention wasn’t on her. Instead, he was bending down to pick something up. She blinked, then blinked again. Was that…soap? HDVSF0

Rice Lover turned her head back dumbly. In front of her, she saw two white-haired young men, the identical faces immediately bringing up a hellish nightmare in her mind.

Shan Ziwei speechlessly watched as the girl ran from him and his mirror image even faster than she had ran from Siren. He turned his head towards his mirror image and couldn’t help but start suspecting that his mirror image had caught up and done something to her. Just look at her. She was so scared of his mirror image that she wasn’t scared of the big boss Siren anymore.

The mirror image copied Shan Ziwei, also turning his head around to look at Shan Ziwei. They looked like two sides of a mirror.

But now wasn’t the time for wondering. Shan Ziwei could see Siren holding the soap he had made his mirror image throw, looking over with a strange smile. 7SVkUP

“What did you do just now?”

The one who spoke was Unparalleled Dragon King. He had ran back for some reason.

“I used a coercive item.”

“Do you have any more? Use it again. I have a ‘thieve’ skill. I can steal his key!” Unparalleled Dragon King’s voice was low enough that only the two of them could hear. “That guy locked the door. Once we get the key, we can lock him in the morgue!” 2dgLX8

That was when Shan Ziwei remembered that Unparalleled Dragon King had a “robber” scenario. He nodded in agreement and Unparalleled Dragon King carefully circled around Siren, making an OK sign with his hand. Shan Ziwei took out a bar of soap from his Toybox inventory. He was about to use his mirror image as a canon but then he heard Siren speak.

“You want me to pick up soap?” Siren licked his lips, voice low and sensually raspy like sugar grains in syrup, “So long as its your soap, I’m willing to pick up all of it.”

“…”

Suddenly, Shan Ziwei felt like what he was holding wasn’t soap, but his chastity. Getting verbally sexually harassed by an NPC just because he used an item? What was this life. wIL0zK

That was when host came up to him silently.

“Give it here.”

An inexplicable trust in the other caused Shan Ziwei to give the bar of soap to the other unhesitatingly. Seeing the soap in host’s hands, Siren’s expression darkened, his rose-coloured eyes deepening into blood red as he glared at the black-haired young man unblinkingly.

Host immediately threw the soap. At the same time, Siren dodged away from the area the soap was going to land with unnatural speed, yet, right when the soap was about to hit the ground, a cross-shaped throwing star hit the soap and sent it next to Siren’s feet. 6veKW8

Siren glared at the soap like it was his mortal enemy, yet under the rules of the system, he was forced to bend down, reaching out to pick up the soap. Shan Ziwei was stunned. If it were him, he couldn’t promise to catch up with Siren’s speed.

“I got it!”

Unparalleled Dragon King yelled, running for the door and waving Siren’s keys. Host took the third bar of soap Shan Ziwei gave him and found an opportunity to throw it as well, forcing Siren to bend down again.

“Hurry it up!” 5TepDa

“Stop rushing me! I’m looking, okay! A black key, a black key…”

Shan Ziwei switched between keeping an eye on Siren and nervously watching Unparalleled Dragon King flip through the keys. Unparalleled Dragon King was clearly nervous, too. His hands were shaking the entire time. Rice Lover had her hands over her mouth, like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. Only host stayed calm and silent as usual, staring at Siren, before suddenly frowning for some reason.

Shan Ziwei didn’t even have time to express surprise at the rare expression on host’s face before he was suddenly shuddering. He didn’t know when it had begun, but a faint mist had spread across the cold morgue. Shan Ziwei’s entire body felt cold, but not from the temperature.

It was because he could feel that something terrifying had just awoken. uOClmQ


Dun, dun duuuun!!! :blobfearful:

Translator's Note

In the raws, the flowers are literally referred to as Ghost Flowers. There are a couple of flowers that are called ghost flowers in Chinese, but none more than the equinox flower, aka the red spider lily. Not only are they the flowers that bloom on the road to death in Chinese (and thus Japanese as well) mythology, but they also have a tendency to grow in places where corpses are left to rot.

Translator's Note

A saying in Chinese, basically meaning that you have some pain or reason or explanation for a certain situation in which you are disadvantaged, but you can’t tell anyone to change the disadvantaged situation. This saying is also known in Chinese as, translated roughly, mute disadvantage, since you get fucked over by it because you can’t say anything.
