Flower Language and Wu Liang Are Fighting

Lin Nieran recalled that one of the Rules the system had scanned was "Dorm Supervisor": check whether the children were asleep after lights out.

He wasn't sure if Lin Yi was lying in bed with his eyes closed pretending to be asleep, or if he was actually asleep. After all, as far as he knew, Lin Yi had difficulty falling asleep and could often stay awake all night with his eyes closed.

If the Black-Line Weird discovers that Lin Yi isn't asleep, then there will be big trouble.

Lin Nieran called out, and even if Lin Yi was asleep, his voice would instantly wake him up.

However, Lin Yi seems to disregard 007's presence, so if he falls asleep, the probability of 007 waking him up is low.

But with just a soft call from 007, Lin Yi opened his eyes.

[Host, Lin Yi is awake! He wasn't asleep!] 007 immediately raised its paw at Lin Nieran.

Lin Nieran floated to his side and said very quickly, "Don't make a sound later, don't be afraid, come with me, I'll take you out."

Lin Yi seemed to know what was going to happen. He nodded and watched as Lin Nieran used a shield-shaped Item on himself.

A faint golden light instantly appeared on his body. Lin Yi looked at the change in surprise. "What is this?"

"To protect you," Lin Nieran said. "Let's go."

Click.

A hand wearing a white glove gently opened the door. Wu Liang stood inside and cautiously peeked out. Upon seeing the Black-Line Weird in the Corridor, he frowned in disgust.

These things were tangled together in a messy, twisting, and dense mass, wriggling in all directions, which made him very uncomfortable.

Wu Liang forcibly suppressed the urge to eliminate these things, and with Scalpel in hand, he made Black-Line Weird on the wall. The black line broke at the cut, but continued to writhe and twist on the ground.

Wu Liang stepped on it and ground it with a blank expression.

The broken black line startled all the eerie things in the Corridor; they stopped invading other rooms and all stared at Wu Liang, the "bad" child.

"Snap!"

A flash of light, and before the Black-Line Weird could react, the Scalpel flew from the Doctor's hand, piercing into the dense black lines, severing them all at their roots.

The blade flashed like a white light, easily piercing the darkness.

With a flick of his wrist, Wu Liang brought the Scalpel, which had spun around once, back to his hand with perfect precision, where it danced nimbly between his fingertips.

Wu Liang stepped outside and looked around, completely ignoring the eerie atmosphere that might kill him. What concerned him more was why he hadn't found a trace of his friend after searching all day.

Could it be that other Vest found it and hid it first?

Upon realizing this possibility, Wu Liang's eyes suddenly darkened.

He vented all his anger on these black lines, which flashed with silver light. No matter how many Black-Line Weird appeared under the blade's edge, they could only be smoothly sliced through by the blade's light.

As Wu Liang walked up the stairs, the Black-Line Weird around him increased. The black lines he cut would regrow and heal, eventually turning into new eerie entities.

He was annoyed as he cleared away the ever-increasing amount of black lines when suddenly, a piece of emerald green Thorns emerged from the darkness.

The Scalpel paused for a moment, then sliced through the Thorns.

In the darkness, the little girl with disheveled hair suddenly turned grim, and a sinister voice echoed from the depths of the Corridor: "Traitor!"

Her body was instantly surrounded by layers of Thorns tore open the fragile Black-Line Weird, propelling her body to hurtle towards Wu Liang.

Thump!

The Thorns and the Scalpel collided, and the two men each took a few steps back before regaining their balance.

Flower Language lowered her eyebrows, her eyes filled with tears. "It must be you who hid my master."

Wu Liang said expressionlessly, "Flower Language, was it you who hid my friend?"

Damn it!

"Damn it!!"

The Thorns and the blades clashed, the aftershocks severing all the surrounding black lines. The emerald green Thorns completely pushed aside the original positions of the black lines, reclaiming the gaps in the walls and the ground.

Their anger, which they hadn't seen Lin Nieran day, was ignited in that instant.

Wu Liang wielded the Scalpel to cut through all the Thorns that had been pulled out, grabbed Flower Language's wrist and held it tightly, then punched her in the face with his other hand.

The amplified power from the gloves Lin Nieran gave him slammed Flower Language against the wall with a thud, but in the next instant, the Thorns that sprouted from the back of Flower Language's head also pierced the Doctor's body.

That's the Rules of the Flower Language: tearing her Thorns apart will inevitably result in being Thorns by them—a very unscrupulous Rules.

"Cough cough--"

Blood trickled from the corner of Wu Liang's mouth, but his eyes remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the Thorns pain of the thorns churning within his body.

He raised his hand and the Scalpel, which had circled outside, instantly returned to between his index and middle fingers. With a flick of his finger, Wu Liang sent the Scalpel precisely piercing Flower Language's eye socket.

"Pfft!"

Blood dripped from Flower Language's eyes. Flower Language indifferently raised her hand to touch her eyes, then looked at the Thorns that Wu Liang had severed from her, and whispered through tears, "Traitor!"

In an instant, a large patch of red roses bloomed from Wu Liang's body, piercing through flesh and blood, rushing out one after another.

Wu Liang could feel that the blood in his body was being rapidly absorbed by something, and the absorbed blood was being catalyzed into roses, carrying a faint, rich fragrance.

Just then, a door in the Corridor suddenly opened.

Click.

Both Flower Language and Wu Liang instinctively turned their gazes towards it.

Lin Yi stuck his head out and his eyes met those of the two men.

A girl covered in Vines with a knife stuck in her eye socket; a boy with roses blooming in his chest, holding Scalpel and plunging it into someone's head; and black lines writhing all around—

Lin Yi's vision went black.

His hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to run or hide.

Lin Yi: Brother, did I come out at the wrong time?

Lin Nieran hadn't expected this scene outside. His first reaction was that these two guys, who usually acted all loving and harmonious in front of him, were fighting so fiercely.

My second thought was, "Oh no, judging from their looks, are they going to kill Lin Yi?"

Lin Nieran quickly said, "Lin Yi, don't be afraid. Just repeat after me. I'll say a sentence, and you say a sentence."

Lin Yi nodded, then took a deep breath and walked out of the door. Looking at the two, he quickly said, "Wu Liang, Flower Language, your Master is beside me. He said you should stop fighting. After we get out of here, he can increase your Monthly Points Quota by 10,000."

This passage is very informative. Just from the last sentence alone, they knew that what he said was probably true.

After all, besides their Vest, only Lin Nieran knew about the Points quota.

Wu Liang pulled the knife out of Flower Language's eye socket, and Flower Language pulled the Vines out of his chest.

Blood gushed from the wound, staining the ground crimson. Lin Yi looked at the bloodstains, but instead of feeling afraid, he could sense a restless urge.

Lin Yi thought, he really is sick.
