Chapter 37.2

“It’s no use! Its hair is too strong!” Tang Mianmian shouted at Xiao Tangqiu, “Run!”

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t expect Tang Mianmian to say something along the lines of “Just leave me, you go first.” He couldn’t help feeling moved, “I won’t leave you to die! Worse comes to worst, we’ll die together!”

Tang Mianmian cried out, “……I’m not asking you to leave me to die! You better get out of here and think of a good way to save me or find reinforcements, and then come back to get me!”

Xiao Tangqiu sobbed in despair, “How am I supposed find reinforcements in this God forsaken place?”

Tang Mianmian cried, “Then you should at least look for a knife or lighter!”

Xiao Tangqiu yelled, “……Do you think I don’t want to?! The corridor is blocked, how am I supposed to run?!”

Amidst the dispute between the two men, the puppet suddenly attacked Xiao Tangqiu. Countless strands of long hair shot out towards him like spider silk. He forgot everything else and turned on his flashlight at once. The light shone directly at the puppet’s face. Usually, creatures of the dark were afraid of light! Tremble in fear, you monster!

The puppet that was sprawled on the ceiling froze, but in the next second, it became furious and shot out more strands of hair at Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu was tied up and hung upside down in mid-air as well. The flashlight in his hand was also taken away!

Tang Mianmian cried out timidly, “Oh, no, you seemed to have angered it. The BOSS is mad…”

Xiao Tangqiu, who was still hanging upside down, gave a wry smile. “BOSS? This is only a small BOSS at best, the real big BOSS… Forget it, we probably won’t live to see the big BOSS.”

Tang Mianmian thought for a bit before adding, “Generally speaking, the owner of the old castle should be the big BOSS. Haven’t we already seen him?”

Xiao Tangqiu helplessly said, “Is this really a good time for us to be discussing these things?”

Tang Mianmian faintly answered, “But there’s nothing else we can do.”

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were both suspended in mid-air, tied up in the mass of black, swirling hair and only had their mouths free, so they could only talk and make sarcastic remarks in this life and death situation.

However, Xiao Tangqiu was soon deprived of that last bit of joy. The monster slowly crawled towards him. As Xiao Tangqiu grew more and more scared, it suddenly lowered its his head and played with the flashlight, just like a little child imitating the action of an adult. It clumsily followed Xiao Tangqiu’s previous actions, turning on the flashlight, then giving him a fierce look.

Tang Mianmian broke out in laughter, “It’s retaliating against you!”

Xiao Tangqiu, who was blinded by the intense light, could only close his eyes and smile bitterly. Who would have thought that monsters had such methods of revenge?

But when the monster drew close, he noticed a mole on the inhuman-like skin of the monster’s neck. The monster’s hair was messy and thick, covering its whole body from top to bottom. If it weren’t because it was so close, the average person wouldn’t notice the mole at all. But even so, a normal person’s brain would have blanked out in fear instead of looking to see if it had a mole or not.

He had subconsciously looked at the monster’s neck just now, and was shocked because in the photo of Laura and Lippinobert, Laura also had a mole on her neck, but he didn’t pay much attention to it at that time. After all, it was normal for a person to have a mole on their body. It wasn’t until he discovered that the monster also had a mole on its neck that he realized the significance of that mole-

This monster was Madame Laura! It was Lippinobert’s mother!

Just then, the hair around his neck began to tighten. The monster seemed to be tired of playing with his flashlight and turned to play with Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu tried his best to shout at Tang Mianmian, “Lippi…”

This monster is Lippinobert’s mother!

On hearing that name, the monster suddenly tightened his hair around his neck desperately, like earlier, when it was angered by the glare of the flashlight. Xiao Tangqiu was bound so tightly he couldn’t breathe. He blanked out, subconsciously muttering the words, “His mother…”

Tang Mianmian sobbed loudly, “Is this really the time to be swearing?!”

Xiao Tangqiu rolled his eyes, so angry he felt weak, “It’s his… his mother…”

Tang Mianmian echoed with tears streaming down his face, “Yes, yes, yes! Lippinobert, fuck your mother!”

Right when Xiao Tangqiu was about to be angered to death by Tang Mianmian, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind him. He slammed into the wall and then fell to the floor head first.

Fuck! He would definitely have a concussion!

When Xiao Tangqiu got up from the floor, head still buzzing, he was pleasantly surprised to find himself still alive! Not only was he alive, the hair that had been wrapped around his neck and body also disappeared!

He looked up in surprise and found that the door which he had knocked on for a long time but remained shut had been opened God knows when. A figure stood by the door.

Under the flickering candlelight that looked like it would be extinguished at any moment, the man’s face appeared cold, with a kind of aloofness and indifference that clearly emphasized his distance from the rest of the world. Who else could it be except Shen Yuan?

Shen Yuan gave Xiao Tangqiu a chilly stare, “So much noise.”

Xiao Tangqiu paused but before he could say anything, Tang Mianmian, who was still hanging mid-air, immediately cried out, “Great God! Great God Shen Yuan! Help! I’m willing to devote myself to you!”

On hearing this, Shen Yuan turned and walked away. Tang Mianmian quickly shouted, “……Stop, stop, stop! I’m kidding! I’m willing to let Qiuqiu give himself to you! He’s so virtuous and kind! Although his cooking isn’t that great, he can learn…”

Xiao Tangqiu lips twitched. He immediately interrupted Tang Mianmian, trying to stay calm as he spoke to Shen Yuan, “We’re a team now. Although it’s only temporary, aren’t we still teammates now? I promise we’ll be useful in some other way.” This time, he could only try to say that they were still useful. Perhaps, it would convince Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan turned and looked impassively at Xiao Tangqiu, not saying a word. Xiao Tangqiu’s heart gradually sank but all of a sudden, a knife flew across, slicing through the air and cutting off the hair wrapped around Tang Mianmian instantly!

Windbreaker Man appeared out of nowhere. He smiled and said, “Why are you having a party in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

Not only he but the two women came out of their rooms as well.

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth. He knew that these people must have heard the situation outside clearly but refused to show up until they saw Shen Yuan coming out at the last minute. But at this moment, he reluctantly smiled and thanked him, “Thank you.”

The monster blew up in rage but before it could attack, Windbreaker Man slice its hair right off cleanly with several sharp knives.

Tang Mianmian, “Pfft.“

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help lifting the corners of his lips. The monster, now left with a big bald head, seemed to realize that this group of people were not easy to handle and turned to run away.

Tang Mianmian was very depressed, “This asshole actually knows how to save its skin – bully the weak but fear the strong?!”

Windbreaker Man grinned, “It seems to be a demonic monster with self-awareness.”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly froze: “… Demonic monster?”

What was a demonic monster?

While Xiao Tangqiu was puzzling over the matter, Windbreaker Man arched his eyebrows and said, “If you make it to the end, then, you’ll know.”

Xiao Tangqiu immediately understood what he meant. As a temporary teammate, he was obviously not qualified to know these things… He didn’t even know the names of these people.

However, the crisis had somehow been solved, so Xiao Tangqiu was relieved. Then, he suddenly remembered something – the candle in front of their door had gone out. Although he didn’t know whether the candle had anything to do with whether the monster killed or not, they were now targeted by the monster. Even if they were out of danger now, there was still a high probability of something happening in the later part of the night. He didn’t think that just because Shen Yuan saved them this time, he would save them again.

The best way was to pester Shen Yuan now!

When Shen Yuan turned to go back to his room, Xiao Tangqiu quickly said, “Can Tang Mianmian and I squeeze in with you tonight? The candle at our door went out. The monster might visit us in the middle of the night. If it killed us, wouldn’t you have saved us for nothing?”

Shen Yuan turned his head and gave Xiao Tangqiu a cold look, “……Are you threatening me?”

Xiao Tangqiu bit his lip, “Of course not, I’m just trying to reason with you. Since you saved us just now, does that mean you think we are still of some use? If we die tonight, you will have saved us for nothing.” He didn’t know how he got the courage to bargain with Shen Yuan, but he knew that if he didn’t summon up this bit of courage, waiting for him and Tang Mianmian tonight was most likely the word, “dead.”

“Aren’t you too damn shameless?” One of the women laughed, “Older brother Shen kindly helped you once, but here you are, still pushing your luck! Do you still want him to protect you until the end of this mission? We shouldn’t have helped dumb, greedy people like you in the first place!”

Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Shen Yuan suddenly said, “Okay.”

Xiao Tangqiu was shocked speechless. The woman cried out in shock, “Older brother Shen!”

Shen Yuan’s voice was calm and steady, “Come in.”
