Chapter 597.2
The two who were still hesitant convulsed as if struck by lightning. One of them said hurriedly, “Don’t cry, little brother. You make sense. Even if we go out, we’ll be ostracized by the people outside. The red down jacket is our fate! If he can stay, why can’t I have such luck?”
The other was anxiously reaching out to wipe away Pink Hair’s tears.
Just as his hand was halfway, it was heavily swatted away. Black-framed Glasses frowned and glared at the man, “Don’t touch him.”
The man withdrew his hand reluctantly, “Sorry.”
Pink Hair: “It’s okay, Big Brother.”
He extended his arms and linked them around the arms of the man and Black-framed Glasses, “We are all family, you’re all my Big Brothers. I don’t want any internal strife or arguments among brothers. Can we be a loving family?”
The man and Black-framed Glasses were momentarily dazed. They glanced at each other, and nodded awkwardly.
Pink Hair then showed a smile: “That’s more like it. I cherish family the most. Brothers, I love you the most.”
The three people around them blushed simultaneously and shifted their gazes away, unable to look at Pink Hair.
Xia Chi watched the whole scene with a frown. And the more he looked at it, the more he felt uneasy.
If it were just Black-framed Glasses acting foolishly, he might think Black-framed Glasses had fallen for Pink Hair’s beauty trap. But now, there were three such people.
This was an S+ copy. Everyone here was a top expert. How could players be so foolishly enchanted by beauty?
If the problem wasn’t with those three, then it must be with Pink Hair.
Xia Chi conveyed this to Bai Lixin through a private message.
A few seconds later, Bai Lixin asked: [Has he done anything like this to you?]
Xia Chi: [Not yet. Pink Hair seems to be targeting those who are about to leave the safe house. He doesn’t want anyone to leave.]
Bai Lixin: [If that’s the case, he should come after you when you’re about to leave as well.]
Xia Chi: [Brother, what kind of person is this? Is it some sort of charm?]
Bai Lixin: [I haven’t seen it firsthand, so I’m not sure. But it could be something like a psychological suggestion.]
Xia Chi: [Should I go test him now?]
Bai Lixin: [It’s best not to. Don’t be blindly confident. Xia Chi, you might have to buy some grievances.]
Xia Chi straightened his shoulders: [Brother, what do you need me to do?]
Bai Lixin: [Leave the safe house ten minutes early. And avoid talking to him. I think he’s a bit dangerous.]
Xia Chi glanced at the four people.
The two who had been at odds with each other were now friendly and were linking arms.
As if sensing Xia Chi’s gaze, Pink Hair suddenly turned his head. His chin and neck twisted at a strange angle, and his pink eyes met Xia Chi’s.
Pink Hair curled his lips into a smile and, from a distance, smiled gently at Xia Chi.
Then his lips moved, silently forming words to Xia Chi.
Xia Chi couldn’t read lips. After struggling for a while, he finally pieced together three vague words: wait for me.
Xia Chi: “…”
‘Wait for what!
Wait for you to bask in the cold wind with me?!’
‘Ugh, so unlucky!’
While Xia Chi was grumbling to himself, Pink Hair made another move.
He patted the shoulders of the three people around him, said something to them, and the three immediately turned to look at Xia Chi in unison.
Xia Chi frowned slightly and took two steps back without a trace.
But as soon as he retreated, the four walked towards him.
Pink Hair walked in front, followed by the three people.
In no time, the four of them were standing in front of Xia Chi.
Xia Chi’s heart skipped a beat.
Pink Hair smiled, raised his chin and looked up at Xia Chi with an innocent and obedient smile: “Big Brother, were you secretly watching me just now?”
Xia Chi: “…”
Pink Hair frowned slightly. He leaned forward, his body pressing against Xia Chi like some fluffy little animal. His face was full of confusion, “Big Brother, why aren’t you speaking? Do you not like to talk?”
Xia Chi shivered all over, and his skin was crawling.
Bai Lixin: [Xia Chi, did you hear what I said?]
Xia Chi smiled bitterly: [Brother, it might be too late.]
Bai Lixin: [?]
Xia Chi: [Pink Hair saw me looking at him, and now he’s come over to talk to me.]
Bai Lixin: [What has he done to you?]
Xia Chi: [He’s been calling me Big Brother.]
Bai Lixin: […]
Xia Chi rubbed his stomach: [Brother, help me. I don’t think I can handle this.]
In the snow, Bai Lixin’s brow furrowed suddenly: [Xia Chi, calm down and think about Tang Yue.]
Xia Chi: [Brother, I’m sorry. Don’t even mention Tang Yue. Even if the King of Heaven came, it wouldn’t help. I feel like throwing up!]
Just after sending the private message, Xia Chi could no longer suppress the turmoil in his stomach and leaned against the wall to vomit.
But since there was nothing in his stomach, he only retched.
Bai Lixin: […]
Pink Hair’s expression suddenly became ugly.
The three people behind him grew anxious. Black-framed Glasses pointed at Xia Chi, cursing: “Hey, do you have any manners? Xiao Baihe is talking to you, and you dare to throw up in front of him?”
‘Xiao Baihe?’
Bleurgh!’
*Xiao Baihe translates to Little Lily.
Xia Chi, who had just recovered, leaned against the wall and retched again.
Pink Hair’s expression became even uglier.
After taking a deep breath and several calming breaths, Pink Hair’s expression finally returned to normal. He smiled again, his face full of concern: “Big Brother, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to help you rub it?”
“Bleurgh!” Xia Chi leaned against the wall, his face pale, “No, just stay away from me. Thank you.”
Pink Hair’s restored expression became gloomy again. His pink eyes locked onto Xia Chi, as if wanting to carve out two pieces of flesh from him.
Xia Chi: “…”
He wasn’t trying to be impolite, but this pink-haired young man was truly making him feel nauseous.
Not psychologically, but physically repelled.
He didn’t know why, but whenever Pink Hair made that pretentious innocent expression, it made him physically uncomfortable.
A person who had seen the light of day would never be intoxicated by mere specks of starlight.
Although Pink Hair was good-looking, he was nowhere near as impressive as his brother.
After seeing his brother’s stunningly beautiful face, he had lost all sense of others’ appearances.
Moreover, even with such a face, his brother wasn’t narcissistic. This person was at most good-looking among ordinary people; how could he continuously make such seductive expressions?
Seeing Pink Hair leave in anger, Xia Chi leaned against the wall, wiped his mouth, and forced himself to stand upright.
Xia Chi: [Brother, thank you.]
Bai Lixin, who was outside and had no idea what was happening inside, was somewhat confused: [What are you thanking me for?]
Xia Chi glanced at the black and white down jacket outside the window: [Thank you for being so good-looking. You’re really great.]
‘Tsk, tsk. Even without showing his face, my brother was so fresh and refined. How could those pretentious people compare?’
Bai Lixin: [?]
‘This kid, could he be going crazy?’
A low exclamation suddenly came from not far away.
Xia Chi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Pink Hair’s group, which had been four people, was now down to three.
As expected, the inevitable had happened. The player hadn’t left the safe house before the time limit, so this player entered the judgment phase.
[The player did not leave the safe house before the time limit. According to game rules, the player will enter the judgment phase.]
[Judgment begins.]
[Judgment ends.]
[Unfortunately, the player did not refresh the time limit. The player will be randomly teleported to any coordinate of this copy. Random teleportation begins.]
[Ding! Player teleported to the Horror Abyss.]
[Ding! Player death X1, remaining players: 88.]
[1 position left in the safe house.]
[0 positions left in the safe house.]
[There are 3 minutes until the next safe house player time limit.]
[I wish players a pleasant game.]
