Chapter One: She Must Be Hungry
That night, a long-awaited rain began to fall in Huacheng during the autumn.
Raindrops pattered softly from the lead-colored sky, and the city was illuminated brightly in the hazy drizzle.
In Huacheng, West District, in a narrow alley deep within a certain urban village.
A woman with an alluring figure held a black umbrella, her red high heels clicking on the cobblestone road splashed with standing water.
The deeper she walked into the alley, the dimmer the light became, and a look of panic began to appear on the woman’s exquisite face.
She felt someone was following her! They had followed her all the way from the nightclub where she worked!
“Whew—whew—!” She increased her pace, breathing lightly, the sound of her high heels against the ground becoming more rapid.
She turned her head, glancing back nervously.
The alley behind her was empty; raindrops fell, creating ripples on the standing water. A night-walking creature hurried past in the darkness.
Although she didn’t see her pursuer, the woman did not relax her vigilance; instead, she took a deep breath, decided to close her umbrella, and dashed into the nearby apartment building.
Upon entering the apartment building and taking the elevator, the woman leaned against the wall. As the elevator doors slowly began to close, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when, through the gap of the nearly closed doors, she saw a figure appear at the entrance of the apartment building.
It was a tall, burly man, wearing a long black raincoat. The low brim of his hat concealed his face, revealing only his bearded jawline.
The man rushed into the apartment building, glanced around, quickly fixed his gaze on the direction of the elevator, and then charged towards her.
It’s him!
It’s the one who has been following me!
The woman’s pupils shrank sharply, and she frantically pressed the elevator close door button.
Seeing the man’s figure drawing nearer, her face turned pale; from her expression, it was clear she was on the verge of breaking down.
In the next moment, the burly man was a step too late, his powerful body slammed against the elevator door with a dull thud.
Feeling the elevator start moving, she was in a daze for a long time, but when she came to, she slowly exhaled.
Seconds later, the elevator came to a stop.
As the doors opened slowly, the dark hallway was revealed, and her expression immediately turned anxious and alert again.
“Hey!”
With one hand on the elevator door, she leaned out halfway, softly called to light the motion-sensor lights, and glanced around. After not noticing any strange figures, she hurriedly stepped out of the elevator, heading straight for the security door on the left side of the corridor.
Standing before her door, she had just pulled out her keys from her bag when she heard rapid footsteps coming from the stairwell behind her.
“Patter—patter—!”
Like someone running in rain boots.
Her hands trembled, and after several failed attempts, she couldn’t insert the key into the lock. Just as she felt the man following her was about to appear in the corridor, with a click! the door opened, and she rushed inside in a flurry.
As she entered and was about to close the door, a large hand wearing a black glove suddenly thrust in through the crack.
Seeing this, the woman’s body quivered, her face drained of color. She gripped the door frame tightly and desperately shouted with a quavering voice.
“W-Who are you?! What do you want?!”
“Help! Help!”
The burly man was too strong; she couldn’t resist and could only watch as he forced his thick arm into the door’s gap. With a sudden burst of strength, he squeezed half of his body through.
In the next moment, she couldn’t hold on any longer; her hand slipped, and she stumbled backward, falling to the ground, staring blankly at the man towering over her.
“Bang——!” The apartment door slammed shut, and she suddenly came to her senses, almost collapsing as she cried out, “Please, just let me go! I can give you money, but please don’t hurt me!”
“Hehehe——!”
The sound of her crying seemed to further excite the burly man’s twisted desire, his mouth twisted into a malicious grin as he slowly approached, then abruptly tossed her over his shoulder, disregarding her frantic struggles, and headed towards the bedroom.
His hard, cold arms were like steel around her slender waist, his rough hands gripping her thighs.
Only then did she realize that the burly man wasn’t wearing any black gloves at all; his entire hand was covered in hair.
In that instant of realization, her body stiffened up, shivering in fear.
“Bang——!”
In that brief moment of shock, she was violently thrown onto the bed, her delicate body colliding with the hard wooden bed, jolting her back to reality as she scrambled away to a corner of the bed in panic.
Just then, a large hand reached out from the darkness, grasping her long thigh and with a rip, tore through her stockings, leaving several shallow bl**d marks on her pale skin.
She trembled, screamed, and begged, but the burly man clad in the black raincoat showed no sign of stopping.
Then, everything fell into dead silence.
Sharp claws, like a pointed kn*fe, pressed against her throat, sending a chilling sensation coursing through her.
“Hehehe——!” The burly man chuckled grotesquely, his fingertips slowly moving downward, tracing over her delicate collarbone, passing over her curves, gliding across her flat abdomen, accompanied by the sound of tearing fabric, leaving a mesmerizing white behind.
Ultimately, his fingers rested on her lower abdomen. He lifted his head, using his murky, vacant eyes to size up her partially concealed body as if examining a sumptuous feast.
He extended his crimson tongue to lick the hair-covered edges of his lips, revealing a pair of gleaming white fangs, before leaning closer and closer towards her.
His hot and slightly rough tongue began to lick along her long neck, continuing down.
She felt a peculiar sensation on every inch of her skin, like a slick, soft, and thrumming little snake winding its way across her body.
She couldn’t stop trembling, her face pale, lips tightly pressed together, as if fearing even the slightest sound would provoke the man.
Gradually, she seemed to fall into a sort of hypnotic state, her gaze becoming hazy, her hands reaching around the burly man’s head, her waist arching gracefully, long legs wrapping around his body.
For a moment, the man’s grotesque laughter grew even more unrestrained, filled with triumph.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the room darkened even further, becoming pitch black where one couldn’t even see a hand in front of one’s face. Something was surging and growing in the darkness, creating faint sounds.
Then……
A chilling scream suddenly echoed throughout the room, mixed with the sounds of bones shattering and liquid splattering against the walls and floor.
“Rumble——!”
Thunder rolled, dazzling lightning illuminated the pitch-black room, casting a harsh shadow over the bl**d-stained walls.
The woman straddled the burly man, her long hair cascading to reveal a pair of rabbit ears. With slender arms, she raised a crowbar, striking down with all her might.
Once, twice, three times……
The man struggled desperately, his terrified cries mixed with the howls of a dog.
“You, you’re also an urban legend!”
“Shh——! Dogs shouldn’t bark, okay? It’ll disturb the neighbors! Hehe!”
The woman spoke with an alluring voice, a mad grin spreading across her lips, bloodthirsty light dancing in her eyes as she swung the crowbar down hard onto the man’s head.
“Crack!” A crisp snap echoed as the bed frame broke, the man’s nearly deformed head fell deep into the cracked slits of the bed.
Moments later.
The lights in the room turned on.
The half-human, half-canine burly man lay motionless on the bed, a gaping bl**d hole the size of a fist on his chest.
In a costume of a bunny girl, Miss Rabbit leaned against the wall next to the switch, a cold smile curling her lips.
She raised her hand, fingers splayed, playfully examining the dog-like heart in her hand, her lips splitting open like a rabbit’s into three parts before she threw her head back and swallowed the heart whole.
Feeling the Primordial Spirit surging within her, she seemed to savor it, licking her lips.
“The third one… with this, my strength is almost restored. Once I find that guy and ambush him, I’ll have a good chance of winning.”
Although Miss Rabbit hadn’t been able to find the one who took her Witch’s Egg since the night of that great fire that burned down the resort hotel, she believed it wouldn’t be long before that guy could no longer hide.
Because……
“She must be【hungry】…”
……
“I’m hungry, so hungry! Can’t we get some food?!”
Luxianbei lay on the bed, squirming like a worm, continuously emitting weak moans towards the Little Maid.
The Little Maid glared at Luxianbei, playfully scolding, “Eat, eat, eat! Isn’t that all you do every day besides sleeping and playing games?”
What kind of motherly complaint is this? Luxianbei smacked his lips and said innocently, “But you won’t let me do anything else! I can’t leave the hospital, so what else can I do besides eat, sleep, and play games? At this rate, if I become a useless person, you’ll be responsible!”
The Little Maid rolled her eyes and replied impatiently, “It’s clear that you don’t want to better yourself, yet you still have the nerve to blame others? Didn’t the lady say she would bring you whatever books you wanted to read?”
“I said to ask her to bring that… ‘The Book of Siye’ for me to see, but she said it’s not for lending and told me to go to the Siye Society to look at it later!”
Luxianbei really wanted to see “The Book of Siye” as soon as possible. During his time in the hospital, he confirmed that the strange mumbling he heard while absorbing the Witch’s Egg was describing the existence of the female deity, and he had researched a lot of materials.
However, those materials were limited to the level of legends, and descriptions varied widely in different places, offering little reference value to him. If he could obtain more detailed information through “The Book of Siye,” that would be even better.
“There are many things to learn from other books too! My lady personally brought them to you! You actually rejected them? I really don’t know what’s going on in your head!”
“If I didn’t reject it, what should I do? Should I kneel down, bow, and kiss her toes?”
Upon hearing this, the Little Maid looked at Luxianbei, nodded slightly, her sharp gaze seemed to say, “Exactly, you should do that!”
“d*mn! Do you all have any humanity?! I’ve already been soft-locked in the hospital, and you still want me to study? Isn’t that adding insult to injury?” Luxianbei pointed at his nose, saying, “Do you see this face? Doesn’t it scream of suffering!?”
The Little Maid stared at Luxianbei’s expressionless face for a few seconds, then quietly said, “I didn’t see the suffering, to be precise, I didn’t see anything.”
“By the way, when can I leave the hospital? Is it because I didn’t give gifts to the leaders that I’m being sidelined and neglected?”
As Luxianbei spoke, he suddenly caught sight of Jiang Li’s figure appearing at the door of the ward. His eyes darted around, and his tone changed immediately.
“No! I believe the leaders aren’t that kind of people! Someone like her, upright, fair, just, selfless, and self-sacrificing for the greater good, must have her own plans. We shouldn’t make things difficult for her, right?”
“？？？”
The Little Maid looked at Luxianbei’s astonishing maneuver, her eyes widened and her lips parted slightly, at a loss for words.
Although Luxianbei didn’t display much emotion, the Little Maid felt she had witnessed what made a dramatic face change in a Sichuan opera on his face.
