Chapter 54: Prelude

Chapter 54 - Prelude

Editor: Kitty

“Live on well.”

After the man finished saying that, he left. When he left, he didn’t make a sound, and even when he walked away, his actions did not cause any noise. Soon, he disappeared from Luo Jian’s sight, leaving him sitting on the public bench. Before that, in the eyes of others, when Luo Jian was talking to that man, it appeared to them as if he were talking to himself instead. It caused many people to take a second glance at him, but they merely took an extra look and continued, leaving Luo Jian sitting here alone with his heart filled with grief.

“A wish?” Luo Jian uttered to himself.

The secret chamber implemented harsh restrictions on players in the real world. Other than the newbies whose strength was not up to par, the expert players’ strength was severely reduced in the real world, and the weapons that only the players could use were also greatly restricted. Moreover…… many items that could be used in the secret chamber could not be used in the real world. Of course, there may be some exceptions, but Luo Jian did not know of any.

Props that were beyond the current scientific standards that humans have found or invented and those that did not conform to the natural laws of the real world were the so-called surreal things that could not be used.

At that time more than ten years ago, medical treatment was not as developed. Terminal illnesses were considered fatal. They were determined and predestined. Luo Jian was supposed to experience that calamity, and originally, he should not have been able to live until now. However, he survived, and someone traded their life for Luo Jian’s.

It was like the members of the Luo family were all cursed. The people who should have died passed away. The people who should have been injured were injured. At the end, all that was left after the curtains fell and the audience dispersed was the cooled tea and the person gone.

Luo Jian did not know how to describe his mood at the moment. He felt as though his body weighed a ton. Thus, he sat in the public bench for a long time. Then, he stood up and walked slowly toward his uncle’s shop front. However, just after entering the shop and greeting his uncle, Luo Jian’s entire body could not help but stiffen.

That feeling of someone monitoring them had not disappeared!

There was more than one person watching them!

Luo Jian subconsciously turned his head back to look outside of the store. At a glance, he saw the little boy with an umbrella under the traffic light. He slightly tilted his head. His strange eyes seemed to be shining with red light as he stared directly at Luo Jian.

Luo Jian felt that his heart seemingly jumped once, and as he was about to stride out, his uncle seemed to notice that something was not right with Luo Jian. He called out to him, but Luo Jian turned a deaf ear to what he said. Shortly after, a big truck drove past on the road and blocked Luo Jian’s gaze at the boy. After the truck slowly drove away, there were no traces left of the little boy under the traffic light.

Luo Jian’s goal of approaching his target had to be put to a stop. In a daze, he looked around for a while. People came and went on the street. A toddler headed toward them and drilled into the crowd. Naturally, the child disappeared without trace. Luo Jian could not find the boy, and his heart was suddenly filled with an ominous premonition.

“What happened?” His uncle ran out of the shop, stood behind him, and asked. In passing, he followed the direction of Luo Jian’s gaze to sweep a look over their surroundings.

“No, it’s nothing. I probably mistook it for something.” Luo Jian did not know how to explain what had happened. He could not possibly tell his uncle that he felt a sense of crisis from a small kid, right? However, Luo Jian honestly thought that the little boy looked very ominous. He was wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt and a pair of grey shorts. His hair seemed to be a little long because he did not take care of it. Looking from afar, Luo Jian thought he was a girl, but when he looked at him closer, he could clearly identify his gender. He was holding a blood red umbrella&#k2026;&#k2026; It was a bright red and did not have any patterns on it.

“Uncle, can I stay with you during this period of time?” The foreboding premonition caused Luo Jian to worry that his relatives would be affected by it. He thought that until the problem was resolved, he could not and would not leave his parents and relatives.

Luo Jian’s uncle did not object. He was very happy and was constantly smiling: “Of course you can. My house is quite large and I was the only one staying in it every day, so the place felt strangely desolate. With many people there, it will be so lively, and it’s good for the place to be lively!”

While he talked to his uncle, Luo Jian unconsciously glanced back at the traffic light located at the intersection. It was as if the boy was still standing there.

――

As Luo Jian was obediently guarding his relatives’ house and eating delicious spicy food, ignorant of his friend’s situation, Feng YuLan stared at the man in front of him with a twisted face.

“I don’t want to drink porridge.”

“You can only have a liquid diet now.”

Feng YuLan felt that his temples were constantly pounding, and this sensation made him feel that in his head, he could constantly hear a buzzing sound. He straightforwardly decided that since he had started arguing with him, he would carry on arguing until the end: “Just let me starve to death then.”

Thus, Duan Li took out a syringe. A transparent fluid was swaying inside the syringe.

“Wait! What the hell are you trying to do?!” Feng YuLan still held a lingering fear towards syringes.

“It’s fine if you don’t eat. I’ll give you a nutrient injection.” Duan Li was very calm. He waved his ‘weapon’ in front of Feng YuLan. The sharp needle was as long as a finger, and the sight caused Feng YuLan to shiver incessantly.

“In that case, I will choose to drink the porridge……” Feng YuLan resigned to his fate and obediently brought the bowl closer to him. With a gulp, he downed the contents of the bowl. When he finished eating, Duan Li was very considerate and took out a handkerchief to wipe Ah Lan’s mouth. Although the porridge tasted a little bland and he did not know what ingredients were used to cook it, the porridge smelled quite fragrant. Feng YuLan had to admire Duan Li in this aspect…… He did not expect that this fool could cook!

Contrary to what Feng YuLan had expected, Duan Li, the perverted murderer, was actually good at managing the household these days. After the operation, Feng YuLan had been moved to the second-floor bedroom with a French window that provided the room with good lighting. Although Ah Lan had not left this clean, comfortable, and small room, just by looking out the window…… it looked like he was in a fancy villa?

Feng YuLan was forbidden to get out of bed. Truth be told, he did not have the strength to walk anyway. His limbs and entire body felt as if they were soft. After the operation, the wound was still aching slightly. Feng YuLan recalled the situation before he came here. He seemed to be in a very bad condition. He had used a power that was far beyond what he could do. It was a good thing that he did not die on the spot, but……

“Where’s Luo Jian? What did you do to him?” Ah Lan was really worried about his good friend Luo Jian, so he asked Duan Li that question.

“You are very concerned about him?” Duan Li did not show much of an expression, and Feng YuLan was not willing to pay attention to his expression. Duan Li’s half-angelic, half-devilish appearance caused Feng YuLan to be a little frightened.

“Of course I am concerned about him.”

“You can rest assured. Your friend is luckier than you.” Duan Li took away the porridge bowl that Ah Lan had finished eating from and placed it on the table. Then, he approached Feng YuLan and accurately kissed him on his lips.

Feng YuLan immediately blushed. He reached out to push him away, but his weak limbs had no strength. Also, these days he was a little used to it. Duan Li this stupid fool had gotten closer to him and kissed him without any reason, and since he could not resist, Feng YuLan could only passively accept his actions. The manly kiss was filled with aggression. As Feng YuLan was in a trance, he came up with a good idea.

At the end of the short kiss, Duan Li reached out and rubbed Ah Lan’s head, making his hair messier.

Feng YuLan squinted his eyes as they flashed with a calculating light. He opened his mouth to ask, “Why are you constantly kissing me?”

Duan Li licked his lips and said, “I’m interested in you.”

“What kind of an interest do you have in me?”

Duan Li became even more straightforward: “I want to do you.”

Feng YuLan had really wanted to act out a frightened expression, but he found that he was very calm and answered him similarly and straightforwardly: “You have already done me.”

“Halfway through doing you, I was interrupted, so it wasn’t enough.”

F*ck this bastard! He’s too unruly and doesn’t even have a lower limit! Feng YuLan was cursing and complaining inwardly, but he remained solemn on the surface. He started to argue with Duan Li, who was lacking in moral principles: “You piece of shit, that is called rape!”

“I merely wanted to rape you.”

F*ck! I want to beat him up so much! Feng YuLan’s expression twisted, and he said with a grim smile, “Fine. I can’t defeat you anyway. If you want to do me, I’m fine with it, but you have to pay the price.”

Duan Li cocked his head to one side and seemed to be thinking of something. He remained silent for a while. He leaned over to touch Feng YuLan’s little hand. Then, he placed Ah Lan’s cold hand under the quilt. This action somehow made Feng YuLan feel deeply touched. He only heard Duan Li reply, “What kind of price do you want me to pay?”

“I want you to meet all my demands! Even if I want the moon in the sky, you have to get it for me!” Feng YuLan spoke without thinking. He exaggerated his demands to purposely make things difficult for him.

But unexpectedly, Duan Li gave him a smile: “As long as it is something I can accomplish, I will satisfy you.”

Feng YuLan felt it was a little unbelievable: “You really agree to it?”

“Of course.”

Feng YuLan suddenly harrumphed coldly, “Alright, I need you to do something now.”

“What is it?”

“Let me give you a beating!”

Duan Li smiled even more brilliantly, spread out his hands, and said, “Sure, as long as you have the strength to hit me.”

Damn his mother! How dare he look down on me! Wait and see if I will beat you to death! Feng YuLan felt a bout of anger rising up from his chest and no matter how he tried, he could not push it down. New and old feelings of hatred all surged up at once. He continued to hum, “Come here and bring your face closer to me.”

So Duan Li did as he was told. Then, Feng YuLan reached his claws out just to punch him in the face, but he obviously overestimated his physical strength. Feng YuLan was so weak due to his condition…… that he could not even lift his claws……

Damn, I don’t have the strength to beat him. Momentarily, Feng YuLan felt frustrated and exasperated, and his face turned red one moment and white the next. Seeing this, Duan Li felt it was a funny sight. He reached out and grabbed Ah Lan’s paw. He rubbed his hand in his palms and said, “Once you are well, you can give me a beating.”

Feng YuLan let out a harrumph as he turned his head right and left. He suddenly smiled strangely: “Perhaps I will be able to beat you up soon. Didn’t you and I sign that bullshit contract to get rid of your NPC status? You were forced into my team by the secret chamber. Surely, you will enter the next secret chamber with me. ”

Duan Li smiled helplessly, “You appear to know nothing at all, but in fact, you know everything.”

“Of course!” Feng YuLan immediately became complacent, and his tail almost rose to the sky in response.

Duan Li glanced at him smiling, and as if he could not help it, he approached Ah Lan again and blocked his ruddy lips.
