Sometimes Being Too Direct Is as Easy as Puncturing That Membrane (Continued)

The woman didn't talk to Lin much. She looked at Pardo and scrutinized Pardo with a serious gaze. Her gaze was so sharp that Pardo shrank back in fear.

"Is this your girlfriend? She has unique tastes."

"To be precise, she was one of my three girlfriends." Lin awkwardly shifted his gaze.

Upon hearing this, even the "expert" took notice. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "I see. Did you use the hypnosis software I made?"

"... What hypnosis software?"

"It's the hypnosis software the magician sent you." The woman crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. "Otherwise, I really can't imagine how any female would be blind enough to fall for you, especially three at once. Statistically, that should be even less likely than the birth of life on Earth."

"... What am I in your eyes? An uncivilized monkey?"

Special Feature: Miss Transformation and the Mysterious Room (Part 2)

"Your phone has been replaced, and you have no memory of receiving any hypnosis software messages. Something unusual happened during that time." The expert—one of the rational and detached personalities of Lin's friend, Vill-V —calmly analyzed after listening to Lin's account of that period, "The only possibility is that you were hypnotized by someone using hypnosis software."

"Also, please move three centimeters to the southwest at a direction of thirty-one degrees. You are blocking my sunlight."

"..."

Incidentally, this person has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, Lin had gotten used to it. After all, a person has eight distinct personalities, and those who can get along with them usually don't mind the minor flaws of some of these personalities.

"Put Pardofelis's matter aside for now. I'll have the conductor conduct a mental examination for you. The hypnosis software will leave a mark on the mind of the hypnotized person."

"Okay..." Lin also felt this was a big deal. He had actually been hypnotized? Recalling some hypnosis works he had read, he couldn't help but feel a chill and followed in Vill-V's footsteps. "But why a conductor? Can't you do it?"

"Probably because..."

Vill-V's voice changed abruptly, from a cold researcher to a more enthusiastic, ordinary tone. She pushed up her top hat, turned her head with a playful smile, and said, "This engineering nerd won't be able to handle what's coming next, will she?"

"Okay, you can wait here for a while." Vill-V stopped Pardo at the door. She stretched, her enviable figure making Pardo stare. "You can look around as you like, but it's best not to touch anything, especially don't open any 'doors,' otherwise... hehe."

Vill-V's sudden change in appearance made Pardo even more frightened. She nodded her head like she was pounding medicine, which pleased Vill-V. She beckoned to Lin, then pushed open one of the doors and went inside.

Lin followed her. Behind the door was a large room that felt like space had been folded. After he entered, the door automatically locked.

"That was my design. Every time you open the door, you have to answer a riddle. Doesn't that get your heart racing?"

"..." Lin felt that this was really unnecessary. Only someone like Vill-V... or more accurately, a conductor, would have such a whimsical idea.

"Let's keep going, um, we'll be there in just two more rooms."

The interior of the Spiral Workshop resembled a complex maze. Lin suspected that if he were left to find his way around, he would most likely get lost. However, Vill-V was able to accurately find the path she needed from a bunch of identical doors and enthusiastically introduced the inventions that the experts had placed in these rooms.

"Speaking of which, we've known each other for so long, but I've never seen all of your personalities. I remember you said there were eight in total, but I've only seen six."

"..."

Upon hearing Lin's words, Vill-V's smug smile vanished instantly, but before Lin could notice, she had already put on a proud smile again.

"Don't worry, you'll see him soon."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's right for my friends who know them well to get to know them." She meaningfully smoothed the back of her hair and didn't say anything more.

Then, she stepped into a room, and Lin subconsciously followed her. However, after he took half a step in, a glint flashed in Vill-V's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. Then, she immediately put on a look of horror. "Wait, don't go in..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin had already walked into the room, and the door behind him closed the moment he stepped in.

"What?" Lin stood there blankly, belatedly realizing what was happening.

Vill-V stared blankly at the closed door. Lin Cong seen her with such an expression before. Then she looked at something else. Lin followed her gaze and saw a high-definition screen that was about half the size of the room. The image on the screen was of the room itself, and their expressions were clearly displayed from multiple angles.

Lin suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately looked around.

There are 360° ultra-high-definition cameras in each of the eight corners of the room, covering the entire room without any blind spots. Then, in the very center of this unusually large room, in front of the screen, there is a goose down bed that must be extremely comfortable to lie on.

... Why would there be a bed?

Then, at the very bottom of the screen, there is a rectangular recess with the words "food outlet" written next to it.

"..." Lin swallowed hard. He glanced at Vill-V, who was looking down, and then looked at the most conspicuous screen.

In the upper right corner of the screen, there is a number written in standard electronic font—100.

"Vill-V... we're not... in trouble, are we?" After looking around, Lin felt increasingly uneasy about the room and chuckled dryly. "Shouldn't we leave this to the experts?"

Vill-V, who had been silent and with her head down since entering, trembled slightly upon hearing his words.

Then, to his wide-eyed surprise, she... took off her hat, revealing a striking two-tone hairstyle.

"We can solve this problem without experts..."

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good... then let's hurry up."

Bathed in the ambiguous light overhead, Vill-V bit her lower lip, giving Lin an expression she couldn't decipher, and then began to unbutton her clothes...

"Wait, wait, wait! What are you doing! Is it too hot? Is it really too hot?" Lin jumped back several meters, gesturing wildly as she pointed at Vill-V. "But I feel fine..."

"No, it's that we're going to..." Vill-V's face flushed slightly, which was unusual for her, but she still finished her sentence, "...to reproduce."

"... Am I hallucinating?"

"No."

"..." Lin took a deep breath. He looked at the screen, which was large enough to play a video in a council hall with hundreds of people, and then at Vill-V. "Don't joke around, Vill-V..."

"I'm not joking." Of all the Vill-V, Lin was most familiar with the Conductor Vill-V's personality. She could be a bit eccentric, but overall she was easy to talk to. So when she began to explain in a serious tone, Lin already had a strong sense of foreboding. "This is the 'last refuge for mankind' created by experts— Eden."

"Once Eden detects two humans of different genders entering, it closes the room, creating a self-circulating, airtight space that can withstand the intensity of an asteroid impact. Humans cannot force it open with current methods, so it is a true refuge from apocalyptic disasters. Food and water are automatically provided by the Spiral Workshop."

"Because it is a sanctuary for resisting disasters, those inside who wish to open it can only do so by fulfilling the goals initially set for Eden, including the preservation and development of human technology, culture, entertainment, and so on..."

At this point, Vill-V's face was completely flushed, but she still bravely continued speaking.

"But after the experts created the Eden, they didn't have time to set all the goals; they only set one: the most fundamental goal of human survival."

"... Hey." Lin stared wide-eyed at the huge "100" on the screen in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"

She snapped her fingers, "Well... to put it simply, do it a hundred times."

Vill-V could no longer contain her emotions and burst into unrestrained laughter.

This chapter has not been approved.

"Waaaa... waaaa... waaaa..."

Twelve-year-old Lin leaned against the window, quietly reading a book amidst the pattering rain outside. He wanted to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, but another "rain sound" overwhelmed him.

The weather wasn't cooperating... and so were the people.

He sighed, put down his book, pushed open the window, and yelled, "Shut up! Are you an ambulance, wailing and wailing nonstop!"

The little girl hiding under the eaves looked at him with tears in her eyes, so frightened that she forgot to cry for a moment.

"I'm telling you kids, can't you be a little stronger like me! Just because you're young doesn't mean you can stop crying and making a fuss all day!" Lin braced himself against the window, climbed out, stood in front of the little girl, rolled his eyes at her, and asked, "How old are you?"

The little girl, wiping away her tears, answered fearfully, "Ten... thirteen years old..."

"Very well, you've lived in this shitty world for thirteen years, a year longer than me. If you didn't want to stay in the first place, you should have crawled back when the nurse pulled you out of there! So since you've chosen to come into this world, face your choice properly!" Lin frowned and lectured her, then saw her trembling, frail body and wet clothes, and grabbed her hand without saying a word. "I don't want a corpse next to my house."

After taking the little girl back to his home, he gave her a hot bath and dressed her in his own clothes.

After drying her hair, some color finally returned to her face, which had been chilled, and her body warmed up in the room.

Lin held up three fingers expressionlessly. "First of all, I have no interest in hearing why you're crying next to my house. Secondly, my patience is limited, so you'd better not cry in my house. Finally, if you dare to cry again, I'll let you cry your fill later."

After being threatened by Lin, she couldn't cry even if she wanted to. She sniffled and nodded pitifully.

"Very good, the rest is up to you. You can leave whenever you want." Lin then sat back down by the window, satisfied, and started reading again.

"..."

"..."

"Waaah..."

Lin reluctantly put down his book, looked at the little girl who was hiding in the corner of the room and sobbing softly, adjusted his expression and walked over, and then, in front of her... he put his hand inside her collar.

"..." The strange feeling in her chest made the little girl stop sobbing and look up at Lin in confusion.

"If you cry again, I'll rape you." Lin pulled his hand away and viciously rubbed her chubby cheeks. "I'll rub your breasts, shove my big stick into your pussy, and then make you give birth. The books say childbirth is extremely painful, you know?"

"Oh..." Perhaps it was an effective treatment, or perhaps for some other reason, the little girl really stopped crying and looked at him without saying a word.

Lin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and frowned. "What is it?"

"How can I... become like you..."

"Me? You mean someone like me who doesn't cry or make a fuss, is sensible and well-behaved, and is strong and independent?" Lin chuckled. "Yes, yes, a child like me is indeed outstanding, but not all children can become like me."

"Really?" The little girl was captivated by his confident words.

"Of course, but if you really want to, I can teach you." Lin pretended to be reluctant, but he was secretly excited. He confidently put his hands on his hips and said, "First, you have to believe in yourself unconditionally and believe that you can do anything."

"Believe in... yourself?"

"Yes, secondly, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up. When you encounter different types of difficulties, imagine that a different version of yourself can solve them..."

The two children later hid in their warm bed, covered their heads with the blankets, and giggled.

"Can we be friends?" The little girl's cute face was right in front of Lin.

Lin feigned a cough. "It's not that I can't do it, even if it's difficult..."

"So what kind of childbirth are you talking about?"

"That's not something a child needs to know." Lin rubbed her face again, causing her to close her eyes and shake her head. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You're a year older than me. Let's talk about it when you've grown into a beautiful older sister with a great figure."

"Oh... so you said that as long as I believe in myself, I can do anything. Can I believe that I can become a beautiful older sister?"

"Huh? Is it... is it possible..." Lin muttered to himself that this wasn't something he could just do by believing it, but he wasn't about to contradict himself.

"Okay, then let's have children together then."

Vill-V grabbed Lin's hand, buried her head between his neck and shoulder, and took a deep, intoxicating sniff, reveling in the scent she hadn't smelled in so long.

"You're not Vill-V!" Lin broke free abruptly, staring warily at the girl with the strange smile; she looked completely unfamiliar.

"How could that be? The expert is Vill-V, the conductor is Vill-V, the magician, the scholar, and Model 5 are all Vill-V, so why am I not Vill-V?" She bowed deeply, exposing a large expanse of her beautiful chest to Lin's view. "Well then, let me introduce myself. They call me 'the villain,' but that's only natural. What they dare not do, I will do. So naturally I am the 'villain.'"

Vill-V has eight personalities, two of which Lin has never seen before. It seems that one of them is this "villain".

"What do you want to do?" Lin had thought that his eccentric friend might have a bad personality, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Hearing this, she squinted her eyes with delight and licked her lips. "Of course it's to fuck you... Oh, that's a bit too direct. It's to help us get out of trouble. We have to do it a hundred times, so we can't slack off now."

"You... this was all planned by you?"

"To be precise, it was 'Vill-V' who planned it. Don't blame me alone. Without their unanimous agreement, even a single veto wouldn't have led to this situation." Vill-V sat on the bed, resting her head on her bent knee, and smiled charmingly. "So don't expect any of your personalities to help you. They're just too shy to be the first. They're actually waiting for me to finish the meal before they come up for the rest."

"But these 100 times are actually your number of times, so whether you want to use your legs, your hands, your mouth... or even your favorite armpits, it doesn't matter to me at all."

"..."

Lin lowered his head, gradually clenching his fists. His teeth were grinding together, and anger filled his entire body.

"I just don't understand... I just don't understand what's so great about me! Are you all out of your minds?!"

He roared hysterically, "What's so likable about someone like me, with such a terrible personality and eccentric behavior, who's even a scumbag who's slept with multiple girls? Do you all like this face? Even you?"

"Like faces? No, no, no, Lin, you really lack a proper understanding of yourself." Vill-V crossed her legs, propped her chin on her hand, and gently tapped her face with her slender fingers, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. "You have no idea how much you affected me back then, nor do you know what kind of person those who attacked you really thought you were. You just think we should be normal friends with you and not have any extra feelings for you."

"How selfish of you, Lin, but I also really like this selfishness~"

"You..."

"Oh dear, do I really have to spell it out for you?" Vill-V suppressed her unrestrained smile, her shimmering pupils fixed on the furious Lin.

She took a deep breath.

"I love you. I want to rub your tongue with my fingers and kiss it. I want to inhale the scent of every part of your body. I want you to hold me with all your might, as if you want to meld me into your body and shout, 'So good!'"

"I want your body to remember every detail of my body. This body, which I wish no one else could see, and this heart, are all reserved for you, understand?"

This chapter has not been approved.

"..." Lin stared at Vill-V for a long time before finally exhaling. "If what you said is true, then... okay."

"However, given your performance just now, and your reluctant answer... I've changed my mind."
