Chapter 126: Chapter 120: Desperate Naiko

"Wait a minute!"

Ah?

Old Mu’s legs went weak. You’ve got to be kidding me, right?

You’re planning to expose me right here and now? That’s not how you play the game!

Watching Old Mu’s stiff body, Jiang Xiao slowly approached him and picked off a piece of scab from his face.

The pain made Old Mu’s face twitch.

In front of everyone’s stunned expressions, Jiang Xiao popped the scab into his mouth.

"Hmm?"

As soon as it entered his mouth, Jiang Xiao frowned.

"This taste is off, it’s salty, not like jellyfish sauce..."

Old Mu’s face relaxed.

At the same time, he was puzzled. Why did the manager suddenly seem so foolish?

Especially the voice...

It had that distinctly dull tone again.

Knowing that Jiang Xiao wasn’t the big boss, the dining atmosphere relaxed once more.

The usually silent Xiao Qing rarely spoke up.

"I mean, Mister Manager, were you always this silly outside too?"

Silly?

Jiang Xiao shook his head, his voice wise yet profound.

"Kid, I’m usually clueless like this so I have no worries, being carefree means being without concerns. You’re young, so it might be hard to understand, but for most people, being without worries is a significant achievement, and it’s what many spend their lives striving for."

Hmm?

The expressions of the others changed again.

Who knew this fool could say something... slightly sensible?

Xiao Ran, not understanding, blinked her long eyelashes and asked,

"Then, if it’s hard for us to understand, could you explain it in detail, Mister Manager?"

Jiang Xiao glanced at her and shook his head solemnly.

"No, I can’t do that. Grandma likes children, but she can’t always treat you like children. As a mature and deep sea star explaining to you children, it would show how shallow I really am."

Everyone:...

If we’re not wrong, the phrase you meant was "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut," right?

"Wow, Mister Manager, you look so mature now."

Alright, no matter how Jiang Xiao behaved,

Xiao Ran could always find ways to flatter him.

"No, being an adult is too boring. I want to be a child, you know, the kind... the kind that’s very small, childish... looking really silly! Hahaha!"

Everyone:...

"Or, maybe you should just take the food up to the people upstairs."

He Menghan couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to get rid of this appetite-disrupting fool.

Jumping back and forth like that, anyone would think he was on some kind of contrast mode.

Jiang Xiao didn’t mind.

He simply loaded the kitchen’s lunch and the cooled morning dishes into the earlier large porcelain bowl.

The main thing was the large portion, enough for everyone!

Only when Jiang Xiao left with the food did they lose sight of him.

He Menghan then brought the conversation back to Old Mu.

"Tell me, Uncle Mu, you’re sure your injury has nothing to do with him?"

Old Mu’s head shook like a drum.

Are you kidding...

He wouldn’t admit to a thing, like refining copper or something!

If he had to choose between exposing his copper refining and getting beaten by Jiang Xiao, he’d rather be beaten to death by Jiang Xiao.

Seeing Jiang Xiao had left, Old Mu still insisted his wound was from bumping into something.

Just like him, probably even after being cremated for three days, he’d still be stubborn.

Crouched in the corner eating, the unlucky A-Zhi laughed sweetly.

Good, good~

This old coot must be scared to reveal the shameful things he’s done.

So he intentionally hides the fact that he was beaten.

This only made A-Zhi happier.

Now, the remaining "potential victims" clearly still had no idea how twisted Jiang Xiao could be.

"Hehehe~"

Thinking of everyone’s misfortune, A-Zhi chuckled darkly, catching Xiao Ran’s attention.

"Mommy, Uncle A-Zhi laughed creepily again. Doesn’t he like your food, and wants to go back to school to eat poop?"

A-Zhi’s body instantly petrified.

I just @#￥%&*!

Can’t we just drop the eating poop thing?!

...

After making lunch, Naiko was showering in the downstairs bathroom.

Just thinking about her morning made her feel nauseous.

Revolted!

She scrubbed her body until it was red and swollen before stopping.

Leaning weakly against the bathroom tiles, she held her shoulders.

In this deserted bathroom,

Nai Zi’s tears of shame finally broke free...

She felt as if she was engulfed by a layer of gloom.

She believed that everyone in this villa held their own secrets.

The strange man with glasses.

The seemingly upright uncle.

The two who couldn’t wait for her to die, He Menghan and Aunt Xiu.

Even Xiao Ran, the little girl, had a very strange look in her eyes...

Even Xiao Qing, the only one who had a slight fondness for herself, was unclear to Nai Zi now.

In Analog Horror, there is no fundamental meaning to the term "good person"!

But who could she trust?

Speaking of which, there were three rooms upstairs.

She had already encountered the perverted mute and the old man.

There was still one person she hadn’t met yet...

Could the person she hadn’t met be the key to breaking the game?

She wanted to take a chance, but Nai Zi felt she couldn’t afford to gamble.

Firstly, the third person had a 99.999% chance of not helping her, and she should be thankful if they didn’t kill her.

Moreover, Nai Zi didn’t know which room upstairs the person she hadn’t met was staying in.

Even gamblers need to have something to bet with, and she could only bet her life, which was too great a cost.

Could she possibly gain a glimmer of hope if she sacrificed her body?

This thought had just surfaced when Nai Zi immediately extinguished it!

Impossible!

She was the spiritual pillar of the cherry blossoms, their cherry blossom goddess!

But...

If sacrificing everything could save a city?

Sometimes, once an idea surfaces, it’s hard to extinguish.

Like when you’re watching dramas or reading novels at midnight and feel like something is missing in your mouth, wanting to order chicken feet or duck necks.

You weren’t very hungry originally, but once the idea strikes, it becomes difficult to shake off.

Or perhaps you were very virtuous, but accidentally scrolled to a borderline video.

The urge came and could not be blocked.

...

There were no comments in the cherry blossom live stream.

Even though the damn live stream had put an annoying mosaic on Miss Nai Zi while she was showering.

But they could still tell from her quivering shoulders that Nai Zi had already started to cry.

She cried because she was powerless to change any of this.

She cried because even if she sacrificed everything, it might not be enough to get through this Kaidan.

She thought her S-class talent would allow her to navigate through various Kaidans and thrive among them.

But reality often dealt her a harsh blow.

Her active bottom-deck skill hadn’t been used yet...

[Active effect: Charm +50 points. At this time, males have a chance to open their hearts to you! (Cooldown time: 48 hours, duration: one minute)]

This was her only chance, if it still didn’t work, then there were only two paths left for her.

...

The audience in the live chat were struggling with mixed feelings.

Even the rival factions couldn’t help but feel a sense of mourning for the fallen fox.

[I’m really heartbroken.]

[Miss Nai Zi won’t really be considering sacrificing her body for a slim chance of survival, right?]

[I would truly take her place, Nai Zi can’t fall here.]

[Nai Zi, no matter what, you mustn’t sacrifice yourself!]

[Damn it! Fuck off! Just a woman, for a city to avoid strange invasions, it’s worth it!]

[Fuck it! Why should the innocent Nai Zi sacrifice everything? Maybe in the end, both the person and the city will be lost!]

[Going to the front line is for herself too! Nai Zi and the city of cherry blossoms stand or fall together!]

[That’s right, that’s exactly how things are standing right now, it’s very simple! Nai Zi walking this path only has three outcomes!]

[First: Nai Zi dies, and the city of cherry blossoms will be invaded by anomalies!]

[Second: Nai Zi sacrifices her body, but still dies, and the city of cherry blossoms will be invaded by anomalies! (Big loss!)]

[Third: Nai Zi sacrifices her body, wins a chance to survive, and the city of cherry blossoms avoids disaster! (I won’t comment.)]

[Is there a fourth possibility? Nai Zi doesn’t need to sacrifice her body and can still survive...]

No one answered him.

This situation was exceedingly slim.

But at least Nai Zi still had a choice, and luckily, she still had an unused trump card.

But some people could only choose to stake everything on one throw.

The blonde, blue-eyed Ward gritted his teeth, pouring some substances into himself.

Hehe~

Think you can play me?

You have to pay the price too!

Like I’m easy to handle!

But these substances are still far from enough!

To deal with a pervert like Aichi, he had to be ruthless to himself!
