Chapter 35: Exchanging gla.s.s of wine

Xiangnu raised his hand, tiptoeing hugged his neck, and asked, “Mr. Yu, what did you do wrong? Did you leave me here on purpose to scare me?”

Yu Su turned his face away and said awkwardly, “I don’t have such a bad taste.”

It was his sister who had this kind of bad intention. She knew that there. was something wrong with her arrangement, but didn’t remind him, and even used it to taunt him in the end.

Yu Su thought gloomily, lowered his head, and buried his face in Xiangnu’s neck.

The warm breath sprayed on Xiang Nu’s sensitive neck, he let out a low breath, and his arms holding Yu Su couldn’t help tightening a little.

Yu Su suddenly grabbed his waist and pressed Xiangnu against the wall.

Xiangnu let out a soft low voice, and the next second, the voice was drowned in the entanglement of lips and teeth as Yu Su kissed him.

Yu Su’s long and slender fingers sank into Sang Nu’s soft hair, his fingertips gently ma.s.saged his scalp, and the other hand firmly grasped Xiangnu’s waist, with such force that he almost wanted to merge with Xiangnu.

Xiangnu hugged him helplessly, indulging in the stormy kiss, and with  the last trace of reason left he muttered: “Where is your sister… don’t need your help?”

Yu Su buried his head in Xiangnu’s neck, clasped his thin waist with both hands and said sullenly, “I don’t know why, I just really wanted to kiss you.”

Unable to restrain himself, he pressed Xiangnu to kiss at an inopportune place.

The beautiful young man raised his fragile neck, and the tail of his eyes was gorgeous and red, making those who saw those eyes intoxicated and crazy. The corners of his lips were raised, and he murmured: “I understand because I also have the same mood as you…”

“However, the reality does not allow us to indulge for the time being. We have to find our sister, okay…”

Yu Su let go of him a little and nodded.

In the darkness, Xiang Nu couldn’t see Yu Su’s expression very clearly, so he touched his cheek, and asked slowly, “What about me, am I waiting for you here, or do I go up with you as well?”

Yu Su replied: “Let’s go up together, it’s nothing, it’s over now, the third floor is being cleaned, I can open a room for you to rest, and then you can leave when tomorrow morning comes.”

It seems that he still doesn’t want Xiangnu to stay.

Xiangnu asked curiously: “Mr. Yu, what is the real purpose of this party? Why can’t I understand it?”

Yu Su took Xiangnu’s hand and led him up the stairs, as he walked up, he replied, “There is an alien copy, and the monster inside is a kind of worm. Its social structure is similar to that of bees and ants, and its king is also like the queen of bees and ants. Dungeons of this level are rarely opened, and only open at special moments. A questor accidentally entered the replica, stole the next queen’s egg, and swallowed it. After returning to the Holy City, she began to mutate into the Queen of Insects and kept laying new eggs, planting them quietly into the bodies of some of the taskmasters she came into contact with, thus controlling them.”

Xiangnu was stunned, Yu Su glanced at him lightly, and emphasized: “The process of planting is very simple, just put the eggs in the tea and food of the tasker who needs to be manipulated…”

Xiang Nu couldn’t help shaking for a while, imagining the picture of worms mixed in with the food he was eating, and he was instantly disgusted.

He tried his best to remain calm and asked, “Why does the tasker who was caught by my sister just now have a blood hole in the back of his head?”

Yu Su calmly said: “Insects can covertly parasitize during the egg stage, and they can also forcefully parasitize after they have evolved into adult insects.”

“So, is the purpose of this party actually to capture these parasitic missionaries?”

“Yeah.” Yu Su nodded, his expression calm, almost indifferent, and cold-blooded: “Actually, even if all the missionaries are parasitized by the queen, at most we will abandon the holy city, seal the holy city, let it become a new copy for the worm queen. Anyway, the tasker can still recruit from other worlds, and it will not disappear completely because this group is dead. The reason why the Holy City is a Holy City has nothing to do with this city, but with the existence in it.”

“No one wanted to care about the mutant queen, but she shouldn’t have targeted the Red Queen raised by sister.”

“When she was weak, she dared to peep at things that shouldn’t be peeped at. When she is strong, she will be even more ignorant and lawless.” The female doctor wearing a ceramic mask stood at the stairway on the third floor, her gentle tone speaking rather cruelly, “A wolf’s ambition should not be indulged.”

Xiangnu clung to Yu Su’s arm rolled his eyes, and did not continue to ask.

Doctor X looked at him with a smile that was not a smile under the mask, and asked, “Nunu, you seem to be a little disapproving of your sister’s words.”

Xiang Nu muttered: “What kind of name is Nu Nu, it’s so strange…”

Doctor X looked at him, still waiting for an answer to the earlier question.

Xiangnu paused and said, “Well, there is a point.”

“A freshly mutated taskmaster, but to ask Sister and Mr Yu to take care of it themselves, and to go to such great lengths, always feels a bit petty. And then there’s Mr Yu’s earlier comment, he actually said that he would give up the Holy City to that mutated taskmaster without a fight.” Xiang Nu shook his head, seemingly a little disappointed by this.

Doctor X stood there and stared at him for a moment. She only had a pair of dark eyes exposed, and Xiang Nu couldn’t see the change in the expression on her face, nor could she feel her mood.

He just listened to Doctor X pondering: “Is that so…”

She turned around and waved to the two who were still on the second floor: “Come up.”

Yu Su and Xiang Nu clasped their fingers together, Xiang Nu broke his hand away at this moment, gave him a sideways glance, and stepped lightly on the stairs to follow Doctor X.

Seeing this, Yu Su lowered his indifferent eyebrows, slightly folded his sleeves, walked to Xiangnu’s side, and asked calmly, “Throwing it away after you’ve used it?”

Xiangnu raised his head in confusion, thought for a while, and asked, “Mr. Yu, you saved me, I’m very touched, but in the beginning, it was also you who got it wrong and got me to the ground floor. I trusted you so much, are you that uncaring about my safety?”

Yu Su averted his face and pursed his lips, after a while before saying: “I just …… said modestly.”

Xiangnu sighed softly: “You still lied to me.”

Yu Su didn’t ask ‘When did I lie to you?’ this time. He looked straight ahead with a calm expression, not guilty at all. He acquiesced to this statement.

Upon seeing this, Xiangnu felt a little bit better in his heart, quickly walked a few steps, stretching out two fingers pinching the sleeve of Dr X, and asked “Sister, what is going on with this copy, tell me about it!”

Doctor X chuckled: “Child, it’s not a good thing to be too curious~”

Xiangnu smiled innocently, although this expression gave a very mocking feeling.

The three walked into the banquet hall on the third floor. The Red Queen went downstairs from the fourth floor. Her tentacles ripped open the fluffy red skirt and danced around on the third floor. There were several layers of insect eggs on the ground. The eggs disappeared a little bit wherever the Red Queen’s tentacles swept over, and when they took a closer look at the Red Queen’s tentacles, there were countless tiny holes underneath the black and red tentacles.

Xiangnu frowned and turned his face away, disgusted by this.

He looked around the third floor and then looked up to the fourth floor, but he didn’t see the ghost priest, and he didn’t know where the ghost priest went.

Doctor X said: “Yu Su said too little, but you also think too much. This matter is not that complicated.”

“It’s just that I have an ugly octopus pet. It’s not a coincidence that my octopus pet tastes very sweet in the eyes of some things, except most things are pretty long-sighted and won’t go grabbing an owned pet to eat. But some stupid things don’t know their place very well. My pets go to eat. But some stupid things are not very sensible, so I thought of a way to lure her to my site and arrest her.”

Xiangnu asked, “The Mutant Worm Queen?”

“The mutant worm queen?” Doctor X said coldly: “The last worm queen has not died. She only ate the eggs of the future queen. What kind of worm queen is she?”

Yu Su raised his hand and patted Xiangnu’s shoulder lightly: “The banquet hasn’t started yet, it’s too late for you to leave now, you’ll regret it if you stay.”

Xiangnu asked, “Am I in danger?”

Yu Su hesitated: “That’s not true.”

Xiangnu snorted softly: “Then I won’t leave, I have to figure out what this dungeon quest is for.”

Doctor X watched the interaction between the two in a good mood, and said with a smile, “Since Nunu doesn’t want to leave, Yu Su, please don’t let Nunu go. Nunu is the one who has made sure that our banquet can go on smoothly tonight, so as a matter of reason, we should keep him here to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet together.”

Dr X gave a gentlemanly salute to Nunu, she stood up again, clapped her hands, and the crystal lights in the third-floor dome went out.

Afterwards, the world seemed to have turned into a spider cave, with various lights shining into the hall from different angles, making the party hall look like a dance hall in the 1980s and 1990s.

The colorful light hit Xiangnu’s face and gave him a weird and wacky look.

Dr. X took off the watch on his chest, looked at the time, and sighed: “It’s already ten o’clock, but fortunately it’s not too late, the party can finally be held as scheduled. Thank you, Detective Nunu, for finding the hidden person at the party in time ensuring the safety of the guests present.”

All kinds of strange and hideous appearances were reflected on the walls of the party hall in turn, showing their teeth and dancing claws, extremely terrifying, but after the appearance of these shadows the guests who came in were courteous and well-dressed human-like guests, who didn’t look very pretty but didn’t have any abnormal organs, and all of them had their characteristics, fat and thin, tall and short, square and round faces, thin faces, and long faces, big and small eyes were also not rare, and there were even some people who had legs and black hair and bulging chests, and there was also a person who had legs and black hair and bulging b.r.e.a.s.t.s, another one who was full of hair. There were even those with full legs and black hairs on their chests, but also those with bulging chests, which were all kinds of ugly and strange by human standards.

Doctor X smiled and asked Xiangnu: “Detective Nunu, welcome to the monsters’ cross-dressing party, to thank you for uncovering the murderer hidden in the dark for me, as one of the hosts of the banquet, I sincerely invite you to Join us as a guest at our drag party and savor the delicious food that we have accidentally acquired together with us.”

Unconsciously, the Red Queen disappeared, but the ghost priest appeared. He stood beside the stage with an ugly face, holding a strange compa.s.s in his hand, he(Xiangnu) didn’t know what he was doing.

Yu Su said softly in Xiangnu, “He’s here to be the driver, responsible for opening the monster pa.s.sage so that the monsters can briefly enter the holy city.”

Xiangnu didn’t know what to say but felt that this holy city was full of danger. Who told him before that the holy city was the absolute safe place for the missionaries, and it was clearly a paradise for monsters!

Doctor X called softly, “Nunu, Nunu?”

Xiangnu returned to his senses, recalled what Dr. X had just said, and had a bad premonition in his heart, he asked, “What kind of delicacies to taste?”

Doctor X smiled and clapped his hands. An unknown object wearing a chef’s hat pushed a cart the size of a truck and walked in from the outside. the trolley was covered with a white cloth, the surface of which was pitted and uneven, and Xiangnu had a very bad feeling about it.

Doctor X uncovered the white cloth, and a long white and fat worm was roughly stuffed into the cart. The moment when the worm appeared, Xiang Nu heard a very loud swallowing sound, that was not the sound of a person swallowing, but the sound of swallowing neatly and uniformly by all the monsters present.

Doctor X lifted the scalpel given by the chef cut off a piece of worm meat and threw it down. In an instant, a child couldn’t hold back, jumped up like a monkey, grabbed the piece of meat, and devoured it into the stomach.

Yu Su said softly from the side: “I told you to leave…”

Xiangnu’s expression was very subtle. Looking at the big white fat worm, he said euphemistically, “No, sister, I’m just an ordinary person, and I can’t eat raw meat.”

Doctor X tilted his head: “It doesn’t matter, the most nutritious thing on the queen’s body is its honey liquid. I can leave the honey liquid for you to drink. That is not raw.”

Xiangnu smiled reluctantly in embarra.s.sment, Mr. Yu looked calm, and he didn’t care about it for now. He was happy to see Xiangnu troubled by Doctor X’s invitation.

Doctor X stared at Xiangnu and turned his eyes to Yu Su, who was on the side, and then said to Xiangnu with hints: “By the way, Detective Nunu is our big hero tonight, so I have decided to open a special judging session for Detective Nu Nu.”

“Of course, the judge is our smart and lovely Detective Nunu. As for the content to be judged… Hehe, let Detective Nunu select the best guest in disguise as the winner. The winner will get a cup of honey. liquid as a reward.”

Xiangnu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and quickly understood what Doctor X meant.

The pretty beauty looked at Yu Su with a smile, her eyes full of ill will: “My sister’s invitation, it is better to be respectful and to obey, I can only invite the best guest in disguise for my sister…”

The honey liquid was a good thing. When Doctor X said that he wanted to share the honey liquid with a monster, the surrounding monsters immediately scrambled and rushed to Xiangnu’s place, eyes full of greed and desire, not giving the terrifying appearance and fierceness in the copy.

Xiangnu ignored the group of monsters waiting to be fed and pointed his hand to Yu Su who was beside him without hesitation. Under Mr. Yu’s tangled eyes, he said loudly, “I choose Mr. Yu, and I want him to taste the honey with me!”

The surrounding monsters immediately shouted dissatisfiedly through the crowded environment: “Backdoor operation, this is definitely a backdoor operation!”

The banquet hall was noisy, Yu Su sighed, showing reluctance on his face, but after seeing the too-bright smile of the beautiful young man, thinking it was nothing, he silently led Xiangnu to the white next to the worm.

The white worm was not dead yet, it was shaking in different ways in the cart, and even tried to stick its head out, but was forcibly pressed back by Doctor X.

Dr. X sat on the side of the cart, smiling smugly, his dark eyes terrifyingly bright.

She rudely used a scalpel to slash a hole in the side of the worm, and the golden honey fluid spurted out with her movements. She watched this scene with fascination and her hand touched the side, but did not feel anything. So she lowered her head and called to Yu Su: “Yu Su, give me my bag, I want that straw…”

There was no straw in her bag, only a steel tube that had just been stabbed in the head.

Yu Su gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Don’t force me to do it.”

Doctor X tutted in dissatisfaction, gave up asking for the ‘straw’, and tore the thick fat skin on the worm’s surface with her bare hands. The dense liquid flowed out of its blood like golden liquid and dripped into the middle of the goblet prepared by Doctor X.

The ghosts who disguised themselves crazily squeezed over, their mouths widened, trying to lick a drop or two of the honey liquid. The wide-open mouth was ugly and terrifying to the extreme, fully embodying the ugliness of greed.

Doctor X laughed loudly, admiring the madness of the ghosts, and deliberately threw the full goblet from the air. Half of the honey liquid was spilled on the ground from mid-air, and the goblet was stably held by Yu Su.

Everyone didn’t dare to grab Yu Su, so they lay on the ground and licked.

Yu Su handed a cup to the Xuangnu, and said blankly, “That’s how monsters are. They have lost all their humanity and can’t stand the slightest temptation.”

Xiangnu looked at him and wanted to ask, ‘but you are also a monster.’

However, after seeing Mr. Yu’s eyes, he swallowed those words involuntarily.

There were no emotions or fluctuations in those eyes, only when looking at Xiangnu and occasionally at Doctor X, did there be a ripple in the eyes.

Xiangnu suddenly wanted to know about Mr. Yu’s past. According to his initial training, the monsters in the dungeon were all once people. They were the ultimate transformation of people after losing some kind of humanity, and they were the embodiment of extreme evil.

Is Mr Yu …… also like this?

Xiangnu didn’t understand, he took the cup and lifted it lightly, Yu Su looked at it, raised the cup, and touched him, the cup made a crisp sound, and the two ended with this.

In his ear, Doctor X’s helpless voice hating iron not becoming steel: “Stupid brother, do you know what to do with a gla.s.s of wine?”

“I have to remind you of everything, the atmosphere is destroyed, oh.”

When Xiangnu smiled, Yu Su paused, his expression remained the same, but he handily pulled Xiangnu’s arm and bent over while holding the cup.

Xiang Nu looked at him embarra.s.sedly, smiled shyly, looked at Yu Su, and drank the gla.s.s of wine.

The farcical banquet ended at an unknown time. The honey liquid was sweet, but after entering the throat, it had a spicy feeling. Xiang Nu became drunk after drinking it, not knowing what was going on.

In the half-dream and half-awake state, a person was pressing heavily on his body, making him unable to breathe.

Xiangnu pushed the man away in discomfort, the man leaned over a little but did not move away completely, he hugged Xiangnu’s waist tightly, tied him beside him, and then forced Xiangnu to the right. He fell asleep and leaned against the wall, unable to move around.

Xiang Nu was overwhelmed by him and had a nightmare. In the nightmare, he fell into a dark forest, and vines rushed over from all directions, hooping his limbs and tying them to the dry and hard tree stumps.

His delicate and smooth skin was uncomfortable, but the nightmare did not end there.

He was found by a vicious dark wizard who saw he was tied to a tree stump by vines. The dark wizard was very good-looking and familiar, but he was very bad. He didn’t save him when he saw that he was bound, and even pressed a red iron brand on him, saying that he wanted to leave a mark on his body.

Xiangnu was extremely frightened, but he couldn’t dodge no matter what. When the iron fell, he screamed in fear and fluttered open his eyes finding a person on top of him.

– It was Mr. Yu who was sleeping deeply.

He didn’t know what Mr. Yu was dreaming about in his dream, his brows were clenched tightly, and he looked very unhappy, but it didn’t cause people to feel distressed, because the heat in his lower abdomen was still tightly attached to Xiangnu’s body, making Xiangnu look very unhappy,  which made Xiangnu unconsciously recalled that bizarre nightmare.

When Xiang Nu understood what the iron brand that woke him up was, his face suddenly darkened, and he pushed Mr Yu, who was holding him tightly.

…couldn’t push.

Xiangnu was helpless and could only keep twisting in Mr. Yu’s arms. Fortunately, his limbs were soft and not thick. After struggling back and forth for a long time, he finally struggled out of Yu Su’s arms.

He looked at his clothes, which had been changed into nightgowns.

The surroundings were unfamiliar, so Xiang Nu was not as bold as he had been at home, after fastening his clothes carefully, he got out of bed and searched around the house, and when he couldn’t find any change of clothes, he opened the door and walked out directly.

The environment outside is quite familiar, it looks like the second floor.

At this time, it was already bright, and the sun came in from the window and shone on the promenade on the second floor. The feeling of the second floor changed suddenly, it was bright and refreshing, and it was no longer as gloomy as last night.

The window was not far away, Xiangnu went to the window to take a look and then saw Doctor X below.

She was still wearing yesterday’s attire, sitting at a round table with her arms propped on the table, fingers interlaced, and her chin pressed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiang Nu stood in front of the window and stared at her for a few seconds. Doctor X seemed to have sensed it, raised his head, and then reached out and waved at Xiang Nu, beckoning him to go down.

Xiang Nu turned away from the window, walked along the corridor to the entrance of the stairs, and walked down quickly.

Apartment 253 during the day looked like a normal residence, bright and tidy, and the gra.s.s outside was green, revealing a strong vitality.

Xiang Nu looked around, and Doctor X whispered, “Nu Nu, this side.”

Xiangnu walked over, Doctor X looked at his outfit, his left hand was hanging on the back of the chair, and his legs were crossed, he leaned on the chair lazily, and she said playfully “Why did you come out dressed like this, Yu Su will gouge out my eyes.”

Dr. X deliberately held the five fingers of his right hand into claws, making a gesture of sticking it into her own eyes. Xuangnu was slightly embarra.s.sed: “Sister, don’t be naughty, Mr. Yu won’t do that.”

The ‘naughty’ Dr. X froze, for a moment she didn’t know how to answer, after a while she said, “Strange child, I’m an adult, how can I be naughty~”

“When I asked Yu Su to have a drink with you, you didn’t call me ‘naughty’.” She pointed her cheek and tilted her head.

The author has something to say:

Sister: I don’t want to spoil the atmosphere, but the two of you really can’t bring it up.
