Chapter 40.1: Horror Livestream Room (40)

When Wen Li looked at him, Ruan Qing’s mind screamed for him to run, but his body remained frozen in place.

He even wanted to get closer to Wen Li, to express his worries and longing.

The hypnotic effect was having an increasingly deep impact on him.

Fortunately, Su Xiaozhen, who was usually slow to react, responded quickly this time and pulled Ruan Qing around to run.

Although Su Xiaozhen had clearly injured her leg and was also pulling Ruan Qing, her speed was not slow, and within a few seconds, they had created distance.

Ruan Qing looked back at Wen Li, who was still standing on the stairs, calmly gazing at him. When Wen Li saw him looking, he even revealed a gentle smile.

Ruan Qing paused for a moment, then tilted his head and also smiled brightly at Wen Li.

Although there was no light in the corner, even in the darkness, the boy’s radiance couldn’t be hidden.

When the boy smiled, his beautiful eyes curved slightly, his smile pure and clean. However, due to the shape of his eyes and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, it carried an indescribable charm, making him look like an enchanting fairy, causing people to willingly give up everything for him.

The boy’s smile slightly distracted Wen Li.

And in that moment, the boy’s figure had already disappeared around the corner.

Truly a clever child.

Wen Li didn’t get angry; instead, he couldn’t help but laugh. His laughter was as pleasant as pearls falling on a jade plate, and his smile was different from his previous gentle or polite smiles. It was purely joyful, making it appear much more genuine.

Su Xiaozhen didn’t stop and continued to pull Ruan Qing as they ran.

However, Ruan Qing’s stamina was really poor. Even with Su Xiaozhen pulling him, he couldn’t run for long before he started to gasp for breath.

Su Xiaozhen saw that no one was chasing them and stopped in a dark corner, looking at the young boy who was leaning against the wall, slightly opening his mouth, struggling to breathe.

No matter what the beauty did, it pleased the heart of anyone watching. Even when gasping for breath, it was as if he was being teased to the point where he could only gasp, and his voice involuntarily exuded a seductive sensuality.

The gasping made people’s hearts beat faster and made them... lose control.

Su Xiaozhen walked calmly to the side of the young boy and reached out to pat his back, as if trying to help him breathe more smoothly.

“Are you okay?”

Ruan Qing, holding his heart with a slightly painful expression, shook his head and said, “I’m... I’m fine...”

Despite the young boy claiming to be fine, he seemed to struggle to breathe at any moment, and his face was extremely pale, devoid of any color.

Ruan Qing lowered his gaze slightly. In reality, running away wouldn’t be effective because Wen Li could see the livestream. No matter where they hid, he could see them.

The method to activate the explosives was in the hands of the players, but it was difficult to say whether they were still alive at this point.

After all, if nothing had gone wrong, Wen Li shouldn’t have appeared there.

Therefore, he had to be prepared for the worst.

Just as Ruan Qing was contemplating what to do next, Su Xiaozhen suddenly spoke, “Do you like that doctor?”

Ruan Qing paused, glanced at Su Xiaozhen, and nodded, “Um, I do.”

Su Xiaozhen was shrouded in shadows, making it hard to discern her expression. After a few seconds, she continued, “What do you like about him?”

Before Ruan Qing could answer, Su Xiaozhen continued, “Do you like his face?”

“Or do you like how he satisfies you in bed?”

Upon hearing “liking his face,” Ruan Qing was about to nod dismissively, but then he heard Su Xiaozhen’s following statement.

His head, which was about to nod, froze in place. He raised his head abruptly and looked at Su Xiaozhen, doubting whether he had misheard.

After all, how could the seemingly “gentle and weak” Su Xiaozhen utter such words?

Even if she was pretending, as a girl, she shouldn’t speak so... explicitly.

Therefore, Ruan Qing’s initial reaction was that his brain was severely deprived of oxygen, causing him to hallucinate.

However, he hadn’t misheard, because Su Xiaozhen was staring directly at him, with an inexplicably strange expression and in a light, drifting tone, she asked, “Do you enjoy being screwed by him so much?”

The air seemed to freeze in that moment, and the entire space fell into a silent stillness.

Ruan Qing pursed his lips and remained silent for several seconds. Eventually, he softly spoke, “...As a girl, speaking like this won’t make anyone like you.”

However, right after he finished speaking, Su Xiaozhen unexpectedly grabbed his wrist and forcefully pressed him against the wall.

Su Xiaozhen looked at the young boy before her, her eyes narrowed slightly. “Your silence. Does it mean consent?”

Su Xiaozhen’s tone was no different from usual, but her expression seemed somewhat dangerous for no apparent reason.

Moreover, Su Xiaozhen’s strength was unexpectedly great. She gripped Ruan Qing’s wrist so tightly that it was starting to hurt. Ruan Qing winced in pain and tried to pull his hand back.

However, Su Xiaozhen held on tightly, and he couldn’t free himself. “Let go.”

Su Xiaozhen didn’t release him. Instead, she lightly touched Ruan Qing’s face, her tone gentle yet somewhat dangerous. “Does it mean any man will do for you?”

Ruan Qing furrowed his brows and directly knocked away Su Xiaozhen’s hand. “What madness has gotten into you?”

“Why are you always so casual?” Su Xiaozhen’s words seemed to be directed at Ruan Qing and yet it seemed to also be directed at herself.

Ruan Qing didn’t want to waste time entangling with this confused lunatic. He slightly turned his wrist to retrieve his hand, intending to push Su Xiaozhen away.

However, in the next second, a flash of silver glinted as a dagger brushed past Ruan Qing’s face and embedded itself into the wall behind him.

Although it didn’t cut Ruan Qing’s face, a few strands of his hair were severed, slowly drifting down to the ground.

If the knife had deviated even slightly, it would likely have been plunged into Ruan Qing’s head.

Ruan Qing’s pupils contracted, his eyes widened. He glanced at the sharp dagger with his peripheral vision, his body freezing, and he ceased all movement.

Su Xiaozhen released the dagger, reaching out to pinch the young boy’s smooth and fair chin, revealing an ambiguous smile. “Since anyone will do for you, why not follow me? I can guide you through this instance.”

Ruan Qing pursed his lips, turning his head slightly to the other side of the dagger, evading Su Xiaozhen’s hand gripping his chin. He gently and politely declined. “Sorry, but I don’t like girls.”

Su Xiaozhen, who was rejected, didn’t become angry. She casually pinched the hair beside the young boy’s ear. “Is that so?”

Ruan Qing softly responded with an ‘Mm’.

Su Xiaozhen twirled the young boy’s hair with her fingertips, playing with it delicately. With a curious tone, she opened her mouth as if genuinely wanting to know the reason. “Why? Is it because you can’t get it up for girls?”

Before Ruan Qing could respond, Su Xiaozhen changed the subject and continued to ask, “Or is it that you prefer being taken advantage of by others?”

Ruan Qing fell silent.

To be honest, he had encountered many male hooligans before, but this was the first time he had encountered a female hooligan.

Or rather, a female hooligan who spoke so... directly.

After all, the women he had encountered in the past were mostly more reserved. As long as he expressed his disinterest in girls, they would generally back off.

Instead of this... insisting on asking clearly. And shouldn’t most people feel sad after being rejected...?

Su Xiaozhen didn’t pay much attention to the boy’s silence and continued to speak. “These two seem to be the same. You can’t get it up for girls, so you enjoy being taken advantage of.”

Ruan Qing: “...”

Ruan Qing didn’t understand why, at a life-and-death moment, he would be discussing such matters with a girl here.

However, Su Xiaozhen didn’t let him off, as if she wouldn’t give up until she reached her goal. She continued to ask, “Is that the kind of person you are?”

Ruan Qing swatted away Su Xiaozhen’s hand, pulling his hair. “No.”

“Then you can get it up, right?” Su Xiaozhen pinched the young boy’s fair chin, turning his face back. “Let me see if you can get it up for me.”

Ruan Qing: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Ruan Qing was directly stunned by Su Xiaozhen’s words, his eyes wide open.

Had it been too long since he had interacted with girls? Were girls nowadays so... bold?

Su Xiaozhen calmly looked at the bewildered boy in front of her, smiling gently as she spoke. “What’s wrong? Do you need my help?”

Ruan Qing took a deep breath, endured it, and finally spoke very frankly, “...I’m sorry, but I really don’t like you.”

Su Xiaozhen seemed to have not heard Ruan Qing’s refusal. She looked at the young boy in front of her and smiled before speaking to herself. “It seems like you need my help.”

After Su Xiaozhen finished speaking, she lightly rubbed Ruan Qing’s lip with her thumb, leaning closer to the person in front of her.

They were so close that their breaths almost intertwined.

Ruan Qing instinctively took a step back, but there was a wall behind him, so he couldn’t retreat any further. He could only turn his head slightly to avoid the person in front of him.

Su Xiaozhen looked at the youth’s exquisite and flawless profile and chuckled softly. She leaned closer again and kissed the corner of his eye, then gently licked the mole on his cheek.

Her actions were filled with ambiguity and sensuality.

The warm and moist touch widened Ruan Qing’s eyes. In the next second, he drew the hand that had been in his bag all along, holding a small knife, and fiercely stabbed towards Su Xiaozhen.

It seemed like Su Xiaozhen had been prepared for him. Just as he extended his hand, she firmly grasped his wrist, rendering Ruan Qing unable to move a single bit.

Su Xiaozhen glanced at the knife in the boy’s hand, revealing a smile as she kindly spoke, “What do you want to do? Do you want to kill...”

However, before Su Xiaozhen could finish her sentence, Ruan Qing’s other hand held a syringe and mercilessly stabbed it into Su Xiaozhen’s neck.

Moreover, as the needle went in, the drug in the syringe was swiftly injected.

The entire motion flowed smoothly without the slightest pause or hesitation, clearly indicating that it had been meticulously planned.

Apparently, the previous knife was just a distraction to deceive Su Xiaozhen.

His true intention was to inject the drug into Su Xiaozhen.

Ruan Qing looked at Su Xiaozhen and withdrew the syringe.

Once the drug, nearing a lethal dose, entered the bloodstream, it would quickly merge with the blood and spread throughout the body in an instant.

Su Xiaozhen probably hadn’t expected that besides the knife, there would be a drug as well. It could also be due to her excessive self-confidence and arrogance, as she had not regarded the young boy as a threat, and thus had taken minimal precautions.

After the medicine was injected into her body, she immediately went limp and slowly fell to the ground, her eyes filled with confusion.

It seemed like she hadn’t fully reacted yet.

Ruan Qing looked at the empty syringe and casually put it back into his messenger bag.

He had been cautious of her from the beginning.

He never trusted anyone, whether weak or powerful. He didn’t believe in anyone.

He only believed in himself.

Not to mention, she had been plotting against him from the start, so Ruan Qing naturally paid extra attention to her.

Besides, she was his greatest trump card. How could he take it lightly?

Ruan Qing crouched down, looking at Su Xiaozhen, who lay weak on the ground, and a smile appeared on his face. “It’s not that I don’t like girls, I just simply don’t like you.”

Su Xiaozhen lay motionless on the ground, watching the young boy. She didn’t seem too angry.

She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. It was obvious that she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Finally, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the young boy with a gaze full of danger and aggression.

Ruan Qing didn’t care about what Su Xiaozhen was thinking. He reached out and gently brushed aside the hair scattered on her face, then tenderly touched her hair. With a slightly indulgent tone, she couldn’t help but be captivated by it.

“Be good. Let me borrow your body.”

After saying that, Ruan Qing lifted Su Xiaozhen’s chin and stared directly into her eyes.

“You’re tired.”

Su Xiaozhen suddenly felt truly exhausted. Images before her eyes became blurred, as if she would fall asleep in the next second.

Ruan Qing’s voice was gentle, like telling a bedtime story, filled with indulgence that was irresistible, yet also like the enchanting song of a siren, carrying a hint of seduction.

“Sleep.”

“Leave everything to me.”

Under the dual effects of medicine and hypnosis, Su Xiaozhen unwillingly glanced at the young boy and eventually closed her eyes.

Ruan Qing watched Su Xiaozhen finally close her eyes, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart. He slumped to the ground, feeling exhausted.

Indeed, it was still too much of a struggle.

Su Xiaozhen’s willpower was incredibly strong. Even though Ruan Qing had been continuously suggesting hypnosis to her before, it was difficult to shake her will.

If it weren’t for the medication acquired from Wen Li, success would have been unlikely.

Ruan Qing was capable of hypnosis, although not as incredible as Wen Li. By employing various suggestive techniques and deepening the suggestion, he could still achieve the desired results.

After noticing that Su Xiaozhen had issues, he had been consistently using suggestions on her.

In fact, he had not only used suggestions on Su Xiaozhen but also attempted to use it on Jiang Sinian and Ji Yan since entering the instance.

However, none of it had any effect.
