“No… No! This is definitely not an image. I’ve already turned off the AR glasses.”
“What is going on in this world? Why is there such a monster?”
Lu Jin shrank in fear as he watched the Shadowraze inch closer, completely disregarding physical space and time. Helplessly, Lu Jin took a step back.
But the step he took seemed to make the Shadowraze come even closer…
It was so close that it was only half an inch away. Lu Jin could even hear the sound of it salivating, as clear as a bell.
“Is there no way to escape?”
Lu Jin scanned his surroundings and immediately made a decision.
The feebleness of his body and his hunger made it difficult for him to make even a single move, let alone take multiple steps to navigate to the door of that tiny room, which he had to open in order to escape.
Yet, the time needed to execute that series of actions was probably enough for the Shadowraze, which had already occupied most of the room, to attack him multiple times.
However, just as Lu Jin thought that he was done for, the Shadowraze surprisingly stopped advancing. Instead, countless pairs of its eyes were staring at him as it circled around, muttering something.
“Just observing?”
Lu Jin looked at the Shadowraze, which was barely 10 centimeters away from his face. He could even smell the stench of the Shadowraze’s breath clearly. However, Lu Jin knew very well that he absolutely should not make any moves at this point. Otherwise, the Shadowraze might react and break that delicate balance in the process.
After that brief moment of balance, the door of the small bedroom suddenly opened. A pretty girl who was wearing a casual short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and who had beautiful short hair, strode in charmingly. She stared fixedly at Lu Jin.
“Shixue?”
That pretty girl was none other than the dead young Lu Jin’s biological sister, Lu Shixue. She was also the closest person to the younger Lu Jin, who had come to this city, and they relied on each other for more than 10 years!
“Brother! You haven’t been out for the past few days. Your room probably stinks!” Lu Shixue covered her nose and looked at Lu Jin, who was low-spirited, had messy hair and who seemed like he had not showered in more than 10 days. She frowned slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction. “Today is your big day – the day you were chosen. How long are you going to stay in your room?”
Lu Jin looked at Lu Shixue, who appeared like a hero in front of him. Even though that hero looked at him with disdain, he still felt an indescribable sense of warmth and comfort.
Now that the door was open, he only needed to think of a way to get out.
However, what happened next made Lu Jin’s heart sink.
The second after Lu Shixue entered the room, the Shadowraze, which was initially by the door, instantly sealed the door shut…
“D*mn it!”
Lu Jin looked at the Shadowraze, which was standing in front of Lu Shixue with its mouth opened widely. With his weak body, he was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly…
“Brother, what are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and pack up. They’re here!” Lu Shixue stared at Lu Jin in bewilderment as he was still standing in a daze. She wondered if he had lost his mind.
“You?” Lu Jin looked at Lu Shixue, who had a strange look on her face, and suddenly realized that she did not seem to notice the Shadowraze’s existence. “Don’t tell me… you can’t… see…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jin suddenly felt the atmosphere in the room change.
An indescribable chill invaded his body!
The bloodthirsty eyes of the Shadowraze, which had initially occupied the entire room, were now filled with agitation and excitement, as if it had seen something that made it excited.
“Oh no…”
Now, Lu Jin instantly understood what was happening.
Not everyone could see the Shadowraze, which also explained why the Shadowraze did not attack him previously. It was just observing him as a form of a test.
A test to know if he could see it…
And he fell for it!
Although Lu Jin did not know what the Shadowraze was, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. Or rather, it was simply an extremely dangerous being.

If the Shadowraze knew that he could see it, the consequences would be unimaginable…
Lu Jin’s innate fear sparked an idea in his mind. As he spoke, Lu Jin forcefully changed the topic. “Don’t tell me… you can’t… see… that I’m going to change?”
With his words, the atmosphere in the room shifted again.
However, the Shadowraze seemed unfazed by it. It continued to stare at Lu Jin with its huge mouths close to Lu Jin’s face. It started whispering and even revealed a bright smile.
“You… can… see… right?”
His question was as rhetorical as it was literal. It was impossible to tell if the Shadowraze had discovered it.
“You’re changing your clothes?” Lu Shixue could not help but scrutinize Lu Jin, whose outfit was tight-fitting. Looking at his surroundings, he didn’t even have a change of clothes. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like he was changing his clothes. He was just in a daze.
No doubt, her brother must be senile!
“Of course I’m changing!” Lu Jin glanced at the Shadowraze, which had fixed its sight on him. Then, he looked at Lu Shixue and said, with certainty, “Why don’t I change for you to see?”
With that, Lu Jin took off his T-shirt without hesitation, revealing a set of abs, something that he hardly had a lifetime ago.
“D*mn pervert!”
Upon looking at Lu Jin, Lu Shixue turned around and left, ignoring him completely.
As Lu Shixue left, Lu Jin could not help wanting to stop her. He silently wished that she would stand by his side, even if she looked at him with disdain.
Otherwise, he would be alone in the room, facing the Shadowraze with countless pairs of eyes. He would even have to change his clothes less than 10 centimeters away from the Shadowraze. Who knew what that feeling was like…
Since he had already said it, he had to change his clothes. Otherwise, it would surely arouse the suspicion of the Shadowraze.
“I’ll risk it! I’ll change!”
Lu Jin had no choice but to persist in spite of his trembling hands. As he swiftly changed his clothes in the view of the countless eyes of the Shadowraze, he acted as if he was relaxed, and as if no one was watching him change.
However, Lu Jin’s brave act did not dispel the Shadowraze’s suspicion. It continued to observe quietly from the side.
“Was it completely unfazed?”
Lu Jin did not know what to think as he watched the Shadowraze follow him persistently.
He felt that the death of the younger Lu Jin must have something to do with that Shadowraze. If he could not get rid of that Shadowraze, he might end up in the same plight as the young man.
After Lu Jin had changed and arrived at the living room, he saw Lu Shixue entertaining two female guests.
One of the two women was wearing a black suit and a pair of AR glasses that resembled a pair of sunglasses. She held a small leather bag that seemed like a bag for documents. At a glance, one could tell that she was obviously a capable secretary.
The other woman was dressed in a long, lavender dress. She had jet-black hair and looked astoundingly elegant.
When he saw the beautiful women, each with their own style, he suddenly felt the cold and gloomy atmosphere disappear.
“That’s it?”
Lu Jin could not help but carefully survey the room with his peripheral vision to check if the Shadowraze was around.
After surveying for a while, Lu Jin still did not see the Shadowraze. It was as if the Shadowraze had completely lost interest in him and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Jin could not help but look at the two beautiful women in the living room. Recalling the Shadowraze’s repeated probing, he did not think that it would suddenly give up. If it did, there must have been a reason.

“Could it be the two of them?”
After giving it some thought, Lu Jin concluded that the only possibility was those two women.
After all, when Lu Shixue had appeared earlier, the Shadowraze had not disappeared. Instead, it probed to check if Lu Shixue could see it.
Although he did not know why, the Shadowraze definitely chose to disappear because of those two women.
“Hello! You must be Lu Jin.” The woman in the lavender dress stood up and smiled elegantly at Lu Jin. “I am Xia Qingyao, the new CEO of Fantasy Light Group. From today, you’ll be my fiancé!”
