Her amber left eye remained as gentle as ever, yet it was veiled by a layer of cold mist.
Deep within the pupil of her crimson right eye, a scarlet torrent of data surged and roiled!
She tilted her head slightly, her silver hair sliding off her shoulder as her small plastic star earrings swayed with the movement.
Her red lips parted, but her voice was so calm it made his scalp crawl:
"Master, have you... betrayed Liguang...?"
"They... are coming to take Liguang away, aren't they?"
Her kneeling body began to tremble uncontrollably.
At her fingertips, a point of searing red light flickered to life silently!
Fang Qi's mind went blank.
It was over.
"Wait... wait Liguang, I can ex—!!"
Fang Qi didn't even have time to finish the words "I can explain"...
The next second, a powerful current crackled from his leg with a loud zap!
It surged through his entire body in an instant!
...Fuck, you crazy bitch!!
Everything went black as he lost consciousness completely.
...
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the residual ache in his legs from the electric shock.
There was a cold, metallic sensation against the back of his neck.
Beneath him was a hard, flat bed.
"Hiss..."
"What's... what's the situation now...?"
He instinctively tried to raise his hand to rub his eyes, only to feel a tight sense of restraint around his arm.
"...?"
No, it wasn't just his arm.
He tried to move his ankles—they were also pinned down firmly.
Fang Qi snapped awake, his eyes flying open!
The scene before him shifted from a blur to sharp focus.
A low concrete ceiling.
An old light bulb hung from the center of the ceiling, its dim yellow light illuminating the cramped, narrow space.
Dust and a faint smell of mildew filled his nostrils, mixed with a hint of...
A familiar sweet strawberry scent.
Stiffly turning his neck, he looked down at his body.
He was spread-eagled, lying face-up on a crude iron bed frame.
His wrists and ankles were bound tightly to the four corners of the bed with coarse leather straps.
They bit painfully into his skin!
This scene...
A basement, a bed, hands and feet tied...
Wait... hold on...!
Of all the endings, there's only one basement ending, right?!
It couldn't be... could it?!
An extremely ominous premonition surged through his brain!
He felt like his breath was about to stop!
Please, no...!
Don't let it be that ending...!
Just then, a series of very light, rhythmic footsteps echoed from the shadows.
"Tap. Tap. Tap."
Unpushed, elegant, and composed.
Fang Qi whipped his head around toward the source of the sound.
In the dim light, a slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.
Her silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, shimmering with a cold luster under the yellow light; her pale blue skirt was pristine, swaying gently with her steps.
Liguang.
And it was an expressionless Liguang!
Not even a trace of a sickly smile remained on her pretty face.
There was only a flat calmness.
And what terrified Fang Qi the most... was the object she held in her hand!
A... metal baseball bat!
In the gloom, the surface of the bat reflected a cold metallic glint, held firmly by her slender, pale fingers!
The other end dragged along the floor.
As the silver-haired girl approached step by step, the baseball bat scraped against the concrete floor, making a spine-chilling screech!
No, no no no...!
"No!!!" Fang Qi was scared out of his wits on the spot!!
This scene... this setup...
"No Escape"!
It was "No Escape"!
Of all the bad endings in "My Yandere Mechanical Wife," this was the darkest, most terrifying, and most physically revolting one!
The trigger condition was for the player to completely betray Liguang, or... for Liguang to believe they had!
In this ending, Liguang would completely tear off her mask of gentleness!
She would imprison the player in a secret, dark basement and use the most primitive, violent methods to... break the player's limbs!
Not just once, but again and again, just as the bones began to heal!
A never-ending, infinite cycle!
In the game's CG, the player was locked to a similar broken bed, their eyes hollow and despairing, their body wrapped in blood-soaked bandages. Meanwhile, Liguang sat by the bedside holding a bowl, her eyes blank, yet her smile happy and sweet.
That CG was so impactful that Fang Qi had once hailed it as the "pinnacle of yandere aesthetics!"
But now...
That metal baseball bat was right there in Liguang's hand!
The light shone directly on her stunning yet vacant face!
He was so terrified his soul nearly left his body!
"No... wait... Liguang?!"
His voice cracked, trembling uncontrollably. "What... what are you doing?! Where is this?! Let me go!!"
Liguang had already walked to the bedside.
She stopped and tilted her head slightly, her silver hair sliding to one side.
Her heterochromatic eyes looked down at him; the amber left eye was still beautiful but had lost all its luster.
In her crimson right eye, the data stream was terrifyingly steady, devoid of any turbulence, with only a faint point of scarlet burning deep within.
She didn't answer Fang Qi's question. She simply lifted the metal baseball bat and tested its weight.
The movement was as casual as if she were picking out a convenient rolling pin.
Then, her gaze fell upon Fang Qi's tightly bound left arm.
Fang Qi's hair stood on end!
Holy shit!!
Don't...!
"Wait, Liguang! Listen to me!! I didn't betray you!!"
Fang Qi began to struggle frantically!
But the straps bit deep into his flesh, and though the bed frame creaked under his pulling, he still couldn't break free!
"Master."
Liguang finally spoke. Her voice was soft and ethereal, just like always—perhaps even a bit gentler.
"You and that inspector lady... conspired together, didn't you?"
She leaned down slightly, her silver hair falling and almost brushing against Fang Qi’s pale face.
Those heterochromatic eyes stared at him from inches away, churning with an emotion that was suppressed to the limit, on the verge of exploding!
"Master's previous intimacy, the caresses, the touches... they were all to cooperate with the inspection, to expose Liguang so she could find an excuse to destroy Liguang, right?"
Her gaze remained vacant, yet her voice carried a hint of grievance, as if she were truly heartbroken by her lover's betrayal.
"No, no, no, I didn't! I haven't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Fang Qi screamed until his throat was raw!
"Liguang, you have to believe me! I really didn't know about that text message! I didn't conspire with An Lian! I don't know anything!!"
He became incoherent!
He had to explain! He had to make it clear!
Otherwise, his arm would be saying goodbye to him!
Not just his arm, but his legs too!
They would be broken again and again!
His survival instinct overwhelmed everything else as he explained desperately:
"Those... those intimate acts, I wanted to do them myself!"
“I just wanted to touch you! I wanted to feel your face, ruffle your hair, and... and spank you! It had nothing to do with any inspection!”
He practically roared those last few words.
But the moment the words left his mouth—
The metal baseball bat Liguang had raised over her head... swung down violently!
It whistled through the air!
Its target was his left elbow joint!
It is over!!
“I really just wanted to do it myself, ahhh!!!!”
Fang Qi let out an inhuman scream and squeezed his eyes shut!
Fuck!!
If I had known, I never would have let my hands wander today!!!
He waited in despair for the agonizing pain of shattering bone to arrive.
But the expected pain never came.
Only a gust of cold, hard wind grazed his arm!
And then it stopped abruptly.
...?
Trembling, he opened his eyes slightly, looking at his arm with terror.
In his field of vision, the cold, gleaming metal bat had stopped right above his left arm, inches away!
It was so close it had actually brushed against his arm hair, making him feel a faint tickle!
The chill radiating from the metal sent a wave of goosebumps across his skin!
Liguang held the bat with one hand, her posture as steady as a statue.
She tilted her head slightly, her heterochromatic eyes staring at him without blinking.
Her gaze was still hollow and cold, but her red pupil flickered slightly, as if calculating the credibility of Fang Qi's words.
Time seemed to freeze.
He even forgot to breathe, his heart pounding frantically in his chest!
A few seconds later, perhaps longer...
The coldness on Liguang's face suddenly melted away like spring snow, and her hollow eyes regained their focus!
Her amber eye was quickly flooded with a look of realization—even a somewhat silly joy!
“So... so that is how it is!”
Her voice instantly returned to its usual sweet softness, carrying a hint of a relieved tremor.
Clang!
The dangerous metal bat was tossed onto the concrete floor.
Then, under Fang Qi's shaken gaze, Liguang lifted her skirt and gracefully... knelt down!
Right there on the concrete floor next to his bed!
She even crossed her hands in front of her and pressed her forehead against the back of her hands, performing a perfectly standard and devout dogeza!
“I am sorry, Master!”
Her voice came muffled but clear, filled with deep guilt and joy!
“Liguang was too stupid; I misunderstood Master!”
“To think Liguang actually suspected Master would betray her... Liguang truly... deserves to die!”
She remained in her prostrate position, her slender shoulders trembling slightly as if she were truly heartbroken over her misunderstanding.
Fang Qi: “...”
Lying on the hard bed with his limbs still bound, staring at the mercurial silver-haired girl by his side... he almost could not catch his breath!
Then he finally realized he had escaped a disaster and let out a long, heavy... sigh of relief!
Just now... that baseball bat was only 0.01 centimeters away from his arm...!
It was that close...!
The sudden relaxation made his body go limp, completely drained of strength.
Only his chest continued to heave.
Damn...
That was terrifying...
That was so fucking terrifying...
After the relief came a feeling of gritting his teeth in frustration.
This crazy woman—now she is actually kneeling here and saying sorry to him?!
"S-since you know you were wrong..."
Fang Qi squeezed the words through his teeth, his voice laced with the exhaustion of someone who had just survived a brush with death. "Then hurry up and untie me!"
Hearing this, Liguang slowly raised her head. On her exquisitely beautiful face, there was actually... a trace of tears?
What the hell are you crying for?!
I'm the one who should be crying, okay!
I almost pissed my pants!
Fang Qi roared in his heart.
Liguang's eyes were red, and her gaze was moist, filled with guilt, dependency, and an indescribable hint of satisfaction.
"But..."
She sat up on her knees and tilted her head, the little plastic stars on her earlobes swaying.
Her voice was so soft it could melt. "If I untie Master... Master will just want to leave Liguang again, or contact others to take Liguang away, right?"
Fang Qi: "..."
He knew it... he just knew it!
The silver-haired girl flashed an innocent yet cruel smile. "Liguang is very stupid; I only know how to use this simple method."
"Only this way... Master won't be fooled by bad people anymore, and won't let Liguang misunderstand again."
As she spoke, she crawled forward on her knees, moving closer to the bed. She gently pressed her cheek against Fang Qi's bound wrists, nuzzling them dependently.
"Master, forgive Liguang just this once, okay?"
"Liguang will take good care of Master. I'll feed you every day, wash you, talk to you... just like this, we'll be together forever."
The delicate, soft touch of the silver-haired girl's cheek brushed against his wrists, and his arms felt a bit itchy from her stray hair...
Fang Qi stared at the ceiling and rolled his eyes weakly.
...He knew it would end up like this!
Although he had avoided the pain of [No Escape], he had now entered a Bad Ending.
And it was... a Bad Ending that didn't even exist in the original plot.
A Bad Ending where he escaped [No Escape] only to still be confined to a basement!
...Did this count as unlocking a brand-new hidden CG?
He lowered his head with difficulty, looking at the silver-haired girl who was still nuzzling his wrists.
...It looks like I'll have to find a way to reload my save on my own!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
