When You're Dating Two Girls at Once at a Water Park / The Overlooked Fact

"...I do have a purpose," Lin said slowly before Theresa erupted in anger.

Theresa waited for him to continue with a cold expression.

The man, as cold as black snow, opened his one eye and said, "I want to lick your feet."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

Almost everyone around turned to look at the calm, black-haired man. The noise subsided, and countless complex gazes—doubt, surprise, fear, admiration—were cast upon the man who showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

At this moment, everyone's sentiment is the same.

Such pure, unadulterated perversion...

Theresa's face and body were flushed red, as if she'd been in a sauna, her smooth skin glowing with an alluring sheen. "You, you, you... you bug, let me go! Let me go now! If you don't, I'll bite you to death! Human!"

"Go ahead and scream. The more you struggle, the more excited I get." Lin said expressionlessly, a cold glint in his eyes. "You'll taste even better after you've finished struggling."

Even the people around couldn't stand it anymore. A tall, burly man stepped forward, stood in front of Lin, and shouted sternly, "Let go of this girl, you perverted bastard, or I'll make sure the other side of your head is bandaged up too."

Although Lin was not short, his muscle definition was not obvious. Compared to this enthusiastic passerby who looked like he had been working out for years, he was so thin that he looked like he could be slapped away.

Lin glanced at the indignant gazes around him, then fixed his gaze on the faces of the passersby in front of him.

He asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"Are you deaf? I told you to let her go." The man glared at Lin impatiently. Even though half of the person's face was missing, the other half was so perfect that it didn't seem like a human face, and that disgusted him.

Why did you let her go?

"Of course, it's to prevent you, you pervert, from doing something disgusting like licking her feet!"

"You're wrong about that." Lin said calmly to the man who seemed about to explode, "You should know that we usually call delicious food 'gourmet food,' which is a compliment. We all like to savor the taste of gourmet food with our taste buds."

"And a pretty girl's feet are also beautiful, as beautiful as a work of art, so isn't that a kind of delicacy?"

"Huh?" The man paused for a moment, then shook his head, baring his teeth. "What are you talking about! I'll count to three, and you can let her go right now!"

"You want me to let her go just because she's so beautiful? If she were an average-looking woman, would you still have made a move?"

Hearing Lin praise her appearance, Theresa tried her best to suppress the lighthearted feeling that she didn't know why she was feeling. She forgot to struggle and looked up at Lin's chin.

"Of course." Lin's words immediately drew countless stares, forcing the man to reply, "No matter who it is, I..."

"Admit it, you just like pretty girls, what's wrong with that? I like them too."

"..." The man was stunned because Lin's expression and tone were so solemn that he couldn't help but believe him.

Most importantly, he is very confident.

"What's wrong with appreciating beauty? Look at what you just did. You should have openly admitted that you were appreciating the beauty of girls. Their figures, their legs, their eyes, their hair—they are all gifts from God."

"No one is any more noble than me. I just boldly accepted my own heart and nature, and you... can do it too."

"Can... I do it?" The man raised his hands in confusion, looking at his palms. Unconsciously, a flame burned fiercely in his eyes. "Yes... I can do it."

"Yes, you can. You are just yourself. Don't let others represent you. Now, unleash your instincts."

"That's right, unleash my instincts! It's my nature, it shouldn't be hidden!"

The man's voice grew lower and lower, a strange smile spreading across his lips as he murmured. Then, his gaze fell upon the women around him, his greedy eyes not missing a single one, even those standing next to their boyfriends. His gaze lingered on their expanses of snow-white skin and sexy swimsuits, finally "licking" their sandal-clad feet.

"This is the real me! What's wrong with licking girls' feet!" he yelled, lunging at the nearest woman's feet, his scream echoing throughout the water park.

Lin took the stunned Theresa's hand and casually walked through the completely chaotic crowd to the slide. Calmly, he asked the petrified staff member, "Can we play now?"

Chapter 31 When you're on a date with two girls at the same time at a water park

On the first night, Theresa attacked a woman, causing her to be transformed. On the second night, she lost her mind again, and on the third day Theresa died.

It's the second day now. Because Lin accidentally avoided contact with Himeko, the target of the attack shifted to Himeko. His blood also successfully brought Theresa back to her senses. He will stay by Theresa's side for the next two days to prevent any accidents from happening.

However, to his surprise, the accident still happened.

"..."

The color of blood permeated the pool, which was disinfected and changed daily.

Human blood, at any time, is the most glaring color, as if to warn humanity that their lives, along with this crimson liquid, are lost.

The water park, which was supposed to be filled with laughter and joy, suddenly began to emit a pungent smell of blood.

Despair spreads...

"Didn't you ask for this?"

Theresa licked the blood off her fingers and looked at Lin, who was tending to the bleeding wound on his head, with a strange expression.

As expected, Lin's wound reopened the moment he fell into the water while playing on the slide, staining the pool red and startling everyone else. The water park sent a staff member to deal with the situation and prohibited him from playing any more thrilling rides.

What's next?

"Do you want to keep playing? Are you sure you're okay with that?"

"I'll take you to the attractions you want to play, and then you can play by yourself while I pick you up downstairs."

"You really are... persistent."

However, Theresa really enjoyed playing at the water park. Just now, as she slid down the rollers of the long slide and came out, she saw the azure water and for a moment felt as if she were standing in front of the ocean that her sister had mentioned.

The next attraction was the giant swing ride. Behind them, a staff member kept a watchful eye on Lin, his face full of menacing intent, as if afraid that he would hurt Lin again.

But this time, Lin seemed to have some self-awareness? After dropping Theresa off at the back of the not-too-long line, he told her he was going to buy some food and wait for her downstairs, then walked away without looking back.

I walked straight up to... someone.

"Want to get something to eat?"

"What are you going to do to Theresa?"

The two spoke at the same time, but their tones were completely different. The white-haired girl with braided pigtails stared at Lin with hostility.

However, she was stunned after hearing what Lin said.

Eat, eat something?

"I just saw some rock sugar apples over there." Lin ignored the stunned white-haired girl and pondered while rubbing his chin. "I also saw takoyaki. It's really rare to find takoyaki from the Far East in Canghai City. There's also fried noodles that I've heard are the best in Canghai City."

"How about it? Want to go eat together?"

Kallen's mouth was practically watering. She swallowed hard, her gaze less firm as she continued to question, "Who exactly are you?"

"Let's eat and talk. It's on me, how about it?"

"..."

How could she refuse? Kallen looked over Lin's shoulder at the bustling food stalls. She had already smelled the delicious food that made her stomach rumble while she was following Lin and Theresa, but she had neither the money nor the opportunity to eat it.

Now someone is treating her to a delicious meal...

Wrong!

Kallen! Cheer up! It's just some food. The most important thing right now is Theresa's situation. This man is too suspicious; he'll definitely do something to Theresa!

So the girl with the braided pigtails righteously refused, "I don't want to..."

"Mmm... mmm... delicious... this fried noodles taste amazing, the sweet and spicy balance is just right, and the texture is so crisp and tender... ah... so blissful..."

The girl with braided pigtails had a mountain of snacks piled on the table in front of her. Joy was practically overflowing from her eyes. Like a glutton, she used her chopsticks to pick up all the food on the table and put it in her mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, she swallowed it with a blissful expression.

Although she could enjoy delicious food back when she was still in Schicksal, the situation was very different then. Back then, she didn't even have the mood to savor the food.

"Theresa and I met by chance, and then I fed her my blood. In exchange, she told me her story." Lin held two candied apples in his hand and said to Kallen, who was "working hard," in a low voice. "So I was just dating her."

"Is that really true?"

With a strand of fried noodles hanging from the corner of her mouth, Kallen looked up at Lin with a serious expression, then sucked the noodles into her mouth with a forceful gulp.

"I'm very honest and I never lie," Lin said.

"Hmm..." For some reason, Kallen narrowed her eyes, scrutinized Lin for a while, then lowered her head and whispered with a complicated expression, "You're giving her unnecessary hope."

"Only after failure is there unnecessary hope."

Lin stood up, holding a candied apple in his hand, and looked in the direction of the giant swing. "I'll leave for a bit and come back later."

"Slurp."

Kallen swallowed the fried noodles without replying.

Lin walked among the crowd, their laughter echoing in his ears, but he felt a sense of alienation, as if they were in a different world from him.

No, he wasn't originally from this world.

"Snort."

Lin suddenly heard a cold snort. He turned his head to look at the white-haired man who had reappeared beside him. He was standing in the sunlight, but he had no shadow.

"... What is it now?"

"It's nothing, I just find it very interesting." The white-haired man said something cryptic. "You don't really know if you're saving them or saving yourself, do you? When you reach out to help these people who see your own reflection in them, you're thinking of yourself, aren't you?"

"..."

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to be sarcastic, it's just... no, it's more interesting not to say anything."

"What exactly are you here for?"

"It's nothing, just take it as a hint. Maybe in your eyes, the source of everything is Theresa, but have you ever thought about whether the 'vampires' all over the mountains could really be caused by her abilities alone?"

Overnight, a city was transformed into a lair of bloodthirsty monsters, plunging into an eternal night from which dawn would never break.

All of this is due to the power of the bacterial type Honkai Beast within Theresa's body, which is why she lost control.

What's there to question?

"Think about it carefully. Last time, you truly experienced what it felt like to be drained of blood by her." The white-haired man patted Lin's shoulder, though of course, there was no physical sensation; he was just a hallucination in Lin's mind. "Alright, hurry up and go, don't let the rock candy apple melt."

The white-haired man disappeared into the blind spot. Lin turned around and found Theresa standing not far away.

But her appearance was... very strange.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Overlooked Facts

The ground under the direct sunlight emitted a wave of heat and a foul odor, and sweat sizzled the moment it dripped onto the ground.

Lin glanced at the rock candy apple in his hand. The white-haired man was right; in this high temperature, if he didn't eat it quickly, it might melt.

Not far away, the silver-haired vampire princess stood in the middle of the road, her delicate face expressionless as she stared at the giant pendulum swing in the distance. Lin Yi found it strange at first glance.

First of all, this place isn't far from the giant swing, but Lin told her to stay where she was and wait for him to come back after she finished riding it. However, she showed up here instead. Then, Theresa changed back into her original gothic outfit, which looked out of place in this water park full of people with fair skin.

"Are you done playing? Why did you change back into your clothes?"

Lin stepped forward and handed the candied apple to Theresa was staring blankly at the pendulum swing.

The silver-haired girl's pupils, which had shrunk from gazing into the distance, returned to normal. She glanced at the incredibly delicious-looking candied apple in front of her, then turned to look at Lin.

His crimson eyes, like the Blood Moon he had once seen, were clear yet sinister.

Seeing that she was silent, motionless, and lifeless, Lin asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

There was still no reply, but this time the girl raised her hand and took the candied apple. Looking at the crystal-clear and pleasing food, she carefully stuck out her tongue and licked the sugar coating on it.

"!"

Seemingly surprised, Theresa's eyes widened slightly. She immediately opened her mouth, bit off a piece of fruit, and chewed it while blinking.

Seeing that Theresa was enjoying her meal, Lin also started eating his own candied apple.

The sugar coating is just the right thickness, so that every bite is full of sweetness without the sugar overpowering the apple's natural freshness and juiciness.

Lin found the way the vampire girl ate apples very interesting. Every time, she would take a bite out of the fruit and then savor the taste repeatedly in amazement, just like a little squirrel.

"What else do you want to play?" Lin asked Theresa after finishing the candied apple.

"..." She took a bite of the apple core, then frowned and spat it out. After hearing Lin's words, she raised her head and looked at the crowded drop tower not far away.

The drop tower at the water park in Canghai City is the third tallest in the world, making it a star attraction. Combined with the second tallest roller coaster, many people who come to the water park are not necessarily there specifically to enjoy the water.
