Chapter 25: No face to see anyone [2nd update]

*Drip, drip... *

After the showerhead was turned off, a few drops of black-red liquid continued to drip, and after a good while, it finally stopped.

Lin Ye looked around the bathroom, walked over carefully, reached out to take two bath towels, and returned to the bathroom door.

At this moment,

he finally put more attention on Hoshino Ai.

The stark-naked girl was terrified and unsettled, one hand supporting her on the ground, the other covering herself, but her beautiful, fair figure was in full view, yet this snow-white skin was stained with black-red liquid, adding a bit of an eerie aura to the girl.

"Hoshino, do you have any special feelings?"

"No, none."

Lin Ye handed over a towel.

Hoshino Ai wanted to take it but found her right hand limp and powerless; not just her hand, but her legs were also powerless, and she couldn't even stand up.

Lin Ye saw Hoshino Ai's awkward state at a glance.

"I'll help you wipe the liquid off your body first."

"Mm."

Hoshino Ai gave a hum.

Lin Ye used the towel to wipe the liquid stained on the girl's skin, while doing his best to avoid the liquid staining his own body. Soon, the white towel was also dyed into a black-red patch.

"I'll help you up."

Lin Ye carefully helped the girl up and began wiping the girl's back again.

The constant tactile sensations made Hoshino Ai feel more and more ashamed, and this shame washed away the fear that had filled her body and mind.

Soon, the used towel was thrown into the bathroom by Lin Ye. A bath towel wrapped around the girl's body, giving her a sense of security.

Lin Ye carried the girl to the bed.

At this time, Hoshino Ai, who had recovered quite a bit, also regained her strength. She pulled the quilt over with one hand and dove directly inside, her delicate face half-hidden by the quilt, leaving only a pair of bright eyes looking at Lin Ye, yet she didn't dare to stare continuously because of shyness.

Compared to being seen through by Lin Ye through the glass earlier, this time she had really been appreciated and touched by Lin Ye at close range.

For Hoshino Ai, this had already crossed her psychological endurance limit.

She felt that she was really going to be unable to get married.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Mm,"

Hoshino Ai gave a hum.

"Then, what was that? Why... did blood water suddenly spray out?"

"It's 22:00, the hotel has changed."

"Then, then I..."

Suddenly thinking of a certain terrible future, Hoshino Ai hugged the quilt tightly.

"Will I die? Is this kind of liquid poisonous? Will I... mutate soon?"

As an idol, she had also watched quite a few movies and videos. This kind of unknown liquid likely contained unknown infectious components, and Lin Ye had tried his best to avoid being stained by the black-red liquid just now; he must have discovered it, right!

"It won't happen."

But Hoshino Ai didn't have a shred of peace of mind.

"I, I... my idol career has just begun, I haven't become an idol with... super high popularity nationwide, I haven't eaten enough delicious food, and also, also... I haven't even been in love yet, I don't want... to die just like this!"

The tight string in her snapped at this moment, and she could no longer maintain her calm facade.

"Believe me, nothing will happen."

"Lin Ye-kun doesn't even dare to touch this liquid."

She looked up, her eyes filled with a thin layer of water mist.

"I, I will definitely mutate soon. Lin Ye-kun... Lin Ye-kun, when you kill me later, please... please be gentle, be quick, I, I'm afraid of pain."

Lin Ye's eyes reflected this idol hiding in the quilt and trembling. He had thought Hoshino Ai would roar at him to prove it, to make him touch the black-red liquid to prove the truth of his comfort.

As a result...

The gaze he looked at Hoshino Ai with gained a bit of gentleness.

"Believe me, nothing will happen. If one were to die just because of being stained by this liquid, then the rules of this 'Eerie Game' dungeon would be too simple."

"I haven't been in love yet, I... I still... haven't done it. Lin, Lin Ye-kun... sleep with me! Before I die, sleep with me!"

Hoshino Ai looked up, her eyes staring tightly, her expression and words serious, without a shred of joking.

Lin Ye had a flash of astonishment.

He remembered knowledge he had seen in a book once—people will burst with strong reproductive desire before death.

"You won't die, I said so."

"But..."

"If my analysis is correct, this black-red liquid is water."

"Eh!"

Water looks like this?

"I didn't smell blood, nor did I smell any other abnormal odors."

"But... water is this color?"

"The hotel has changed our perception of this water; a simple explanation is that it's a hallucination."

Hoshino Ai was silent for a good while, finally choosing to believe Lin Ye.

If one can live, who wants to die!

"Rest well, you can leave here tomorrow."

"Mm."

Hoshino Ai, hugging the quilt and feeling the warmth, thought of her explosive remarks earlier, and shame surged continuously like a fountain.

No face... to see anyone.

And in the other room, the same situation appeared.
