Chapter 144: Come to the City That Never Sleeps and Ravish Me~

"Let go... Uh, let go..."

The man struggled weakly beneath him, his fingernails scratching across the back of his hand.

"Ah, ah... No, you haven't forgiven me, have you? You're trying to run away from me..."

"You are mine, Mr. Ji. Remember, you've always been mine. Be my little puppy, and don't you dare try to run away from me~"

Qin Feng's gaze lingered on the dog tag around the man's neck, a smile blooming on his face.

Outside the window, the midday sun was exceptionally bright, pouring down golden rays that gently illuminated the desk in Ji Linmo's bedroom.

The young man finally abandoned his hold on the man's neck, reaching instead to grasp the man's slender right hand.

As if intending to strip away the flesh and devour the bones, Qin Feng parted his lips and gently licked.

"Ji Linmo, you are never allowed to betray me. If you do, kill me, devour me, let me enter your body once more, swim within you, and melt into one with you forever~"

His red tongue slid across the palm, traveling all the way up, baring his teeth.

Snap!

In the pitch-black night, Ji Linmo suddenly opened his eyes.

Damn it... It felt as though he had just had a terrible dream.

Touching his inexplicably uncomfortable neck, Ji Linmo frowned.

At this moment, Qin Feng was still curled up on the bed taking a light nap, everything appearing peaceful.

The game time was about to end.

Ji Linmo subconsciously raised his hand, but at that very moment, he suddenly noticed that his right hand was covered in bite marks.

Huh!?

[Current Day: Day 5]

[Remaining Players in This Instance: 3]

[Congratulations to "Player-Ji Linmo" for successfully clearing the instance "Happy Town (Night of Slaughter)"]

A massive chime rang out.

The entire room dissolved like foam, turning into specks of starlight, while the hoarse tolling of the bell echoed like a final funeral knell across the world.

Before he had a chance to question Qin Feng, when Ji Linmo opened his eyes once more, everything before him froze in place, as if time had stopped.

[Settling accounts...]

[Evaluating actions...]

[Settlement successful!]

[You have successfully completed the instance task "The Younger Sister's Plea", Points +1000]

[You have successfully cleared the hidden task "The Younger Brother's Bedroom", Points +10000]

[Congratulations, your action evaluation for this instance is: S]

[You may choose one of the following three props, or obtain any Grade A prop guaranteed. What is your choice?]

In an instant, the world plunged into darkness. The only thing presented before Ji Linmo was a giant settlement panel.

Looking at the prompt that popped up, Ji Linmo frowned.

Right now, he was severely lacking in weapon-type instance props.

However, given his luck, if he gambled on a draw from the three instance props, there was a high probability he would end up with nothing.

After a brief moment of thought, Ji Linmo chose the second option.

"Give me something good..."

Ji Linmo prayed with a poker face.

Whether the system truly heard his prayer or not, following a flash of golden light, several flying daggers appeared before his eyes.

[Little Pigeon Flying Daggers]

[Prop Quality: A]

[Prop Description: With just a little training, these flying daggers will return right back to your hands like homing pigeons! From now on, Mother never has to worry about you losing things again!]

Ji Linmo looked at the six thin flying daggers in his hand, flicked his wrist, and hurled them fiercely forward.

"Return..."

As Ji Linmo focused his mind, the flying daggers really did fly back after hitting their target.

Unfortunately, the angle of their return wasn't quite right, and they nearly sliced open his neck.

The next second, the system's cold and rigid congratulatory voice echoed hollowly.

[Congratulations, Player Ji Linmo. You have successfully cleared three advanced instances and successfully been promoted to an advanced player!]

[You have unlocked advanced features such as the "Player Forum" and skill point allocation!]

[This promotion grants you 5 skill points. Please try using them!]

Ji Linmo's eyes darkened. He had experienced something like this once before, and he knew all too well that this was no time to celebrate.

Because the very next game would be a slaughterhouse for all players who had just been promoted to advanced status!

Players who had just advanced were equally vulnerable to becoming prey.

[Ji Linmo]

[Strength: 40/40 (Average adult male is 10; raising the cap requires 10 points)]

[Speed: 25/25 (Average adult male is 10; raising the cap requires 10 points)]

[Wisdom: 0 (Please allocate points with caution; relates to mental fortitude)]

[Ghost Power (?): 300/400 (Unknown value, please allocate points with caution)]

Looking at the displayed Wisdom value of 0, a flash of surprise crossed Ji Linmo's eyes.

Wait, how could his wisdom possibly be zero?

No wonder he was always so easily subjected to mental corruption.

In the thriller world, many instances involved players suffering from mental corruption, leading to a deranged and delirious state of mind.

If one raised "Wisdom", it would be much easier to resist mental corruption compared to others.

However, "Wisdom" was not necessarily a particularly good thing.

Once "Wisdom" was too high, in certain instances, one's heightened mental sensitivity might cause them to perceive things others could not, triggering death.

After a brief hesitation, Ji Linmo still chose to allocate those 5 points to "Wisdom".

[Gentle Reminder: Due to your special constitution, the cap for "Wisdom" is 3 and cannot be increased further.]

What?

Ji Linmo was somewhat surprised. After all, for the vast majority of people, the initial value of "Wisdom" was 4.

Helplessly, he could only distribute the points into "Ghost Power" instead.

Could the system have tampered with this? Even after becoming an evil ghost, things shouldn't be this absurd...

Ji Linmo felt a headache coming on. From now on, in every single instance, he would be extremely vulnerable to mental corruption and bewitchment.

[You have reconnected with teammate - Player Qin Feng]

[About to enter the next game]

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A deafening mechanical noise rang out. Ji Linmo lowered his head as the darkness around him surged like thick mire, slowly swallowing him whole and dragging him into the abyss.

[Warning! The Thriller Game is officially starting!]

[The instance players are entering this time is a special instance — City of Night (Advanced Player Exclusive)]

[Game Background: This seems to be a city that never sleeps! There is nothing more exhilarating than gathering here after becoming an advanced player! If you're an advanced player, come and enjoy the thrill!]

[Game Objective: Survive by becoming one of the top 50 survivors]

[Number of Players in This Instance: 100 people]

[Gentle Reminder: The Player Forum can be used freely within this instance.]

Ji Linmo regained his senses and found himself in a street glittering with neon lights.

"Little brother~ Come play with us!"

Wearing blood-smeared artificial skin masks and sexy outfits, evil ghosts stood on both sides of the street, hollering out to passersby.

In their hands, they held long chains, and at the other end of those chains were rotting corpses.

And right in the center of the street stood the City of Night's most brilliantly lit and massive restaurant.

At the very center of the restaurant was a giant skull made up of countless human skulls, its mouth widening whenever someone entered.

[You have logged into the Player Forum]

[Player Lin Bufei: OH~ City of Night! This is amazing, come give me a thrill~]

[Player Lin Bufei: Hehehe, damn it, why can't this be anonymous?]
