This perverse idea seemed entirely possible in Rokkasho, Wen Xishu thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wen Xishu’s previous life, in Japan, there was a very perverse story about a female protagonist named Fujiang, all those who fell in love with Fujiang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would eventually choose to dismember her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the image on the television was of a girl being dismembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being dismembered, each part of Fujiang’s body would either grow into a new Fujiang or... grow infinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the hair, severed foot, and the myriad breasts from not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell kind of things have I recruited here,\" Wen Xishu thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really hoped he was wrong, but his guesses were often correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horrific scenes he just witnessed almost completely matched his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The obedient Mariko in front of him... harbored the powers akin to a demon god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... what about Takahashi Fumihiko? He didn’t look like a good person either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, he felt a bit weary, but soon he changed his thought process:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, I’ve found a way to extend Mariko’s latency period... and Mariko obeys my every word, this might be an advantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu actually had a major problem to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sleep was okay, no one was in the room, and there was no worry about someone knocking during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the second sleep would pose a huge problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two people in the room, and it was highly likely that both would end their latency period while he slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant he would die in his sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Mariko could prolong her latency period, and Mariko obeyed his every word, there might be room for maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Wen Xishu decided to give it a try:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mariko... would you be willing to sleep with me for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, of course!\" Mariko’s eyes sparkled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’m very tired. Once I’m in bed, I can’t do anything else. I’m worried there might be danger tonight. If I fall asleep, can you protect me? If you protect me, I will reward you with more intimate behavior.\" Wen Xishu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko clearly thought for a moment before replying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you love me more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I will protect you. No one can harm you.\" Mariko almost addressed this sentence directly to Takahashi Fumihiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko’s expression was also visibly off, showing hostility towards Mariko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu realized, this could really work... good thing he hadn’t killed Mariko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mariko will prolong her latency period to gain my love... And if I die, Mariko’s latency period will end prematurely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So if I’m killed, it’s like a delicious piece of meat being snatched away from Mariko.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without a doubt, Mariko would attack that person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, Takahashi Fumihiko would fear Mariko, wouldn’t dare to harm me, and would also be forced to prolong his latency period, waiting for an opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The three of us can reach a balancing act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt increasingly glad that he hadn’t instinctively shot Mariko out of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next step was to see how long this balance could last. But Wen Xishu didn’t have much time to think, because there was another knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock knock knock, knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm of the knocking was different from all the previous ones. Constant visits meant the situation was continuously changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he pull another person in at this point? Would pulling another person in disrupt some kind of balance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts piled up in Wen Xishu’s mind, but he couldn’t come to a conclusion for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could only force himself to make the most favorable decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu went to the door and once again, began observing through the peephole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he peered through the peephole, the television suddenly made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no image, the screen remained pitch black, but a voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Homeless people are a special existence, akin to scavenging birds. They don’t eat living people, but they love to feast on carrion. Keep a homeless person for a chat; they can take away an item of \"filth\" from the house.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no image, no flickering. But Wen Xishu recognized the voice from the television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever something was unlocked, the television would provide a rule supplement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had already figured this out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, standing outside the door was a homeless man. The homeless man held a plastic bag, looking gaunt and with a somewhat sleazy expression in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He timidly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you let me stay for an hour, sir? I just need an hour.
