The master entrusts his life to you

Fang Qi kissed her, each kiss harder than the last!

Each kiss louder than the last!

Smooch! Smooch smooch smooch!

He kissed her so hard that Liguang's little head swayed back and forth in his palms!

Silver hair flung everywhere!

The madness the silver-haired girl had just been accumulating was completely dispersed by this barrage of kisses! Her crimson eyes went from flashing madly to completely frozen!

The watery glimmer in her amber left eye also stopped trembling, replacing it with a blank stare.

Her lips were kissed slightly red, hanging slightly open!

When Fang Qi stopped, she was completely dumbfounded.

She just lay on top of him, her face cradled in his hands, her heterochromatic eyes staring straight at him, though the focus in her pupils had somewhat blurred!

...Too cute!

Smooch!

So he gave her one last kiss!

The kiss made the silver-haired girl's entire body shudder!

Wifey, you are amazing!!

Fang Qi felt the sweet strawberry scent on his lips...

Refreshed!

Awesome!

Now, he had truly kissed to his heart's content!

His wife was truly amazing!

He didn't just say that because he enjoyed the kisses, nor was it a consolation. He genuinely felt...

His wife did an amazing job this time!

Although Liguang's truth serum didn't allow him to get any useful information out of Lin Xiaoyou's mouth...

But this current situation was the biggest piece of information!

Lin Xiaoyou being knocked out brought the police outside, and because of that, they discovered the sniper outside the window!

Gu Xi also showed up!

Which meant...

There might be a connection between the police, the sniper, and Twilight?

These were all pieces of information they didn't know before!

Without Liguang's truth serum, without her impulse...

It might have taken him a long time to learn this crucial intel!

Wasn't this much more useful than directly tricking something out of Lin Xiaoyou's mouth?!

As expected...

If you want to uncover secrets, you can't just follow the rules step by step!

His imagination was still too poor!

He had to find another way!

Wifey, well done!

The harvest this time was too great!

But...

He couldn't say these words out loud!

Wifey, we got so much information in this playthrough, it is amazing! We can reload the save, and we will definitely take off in the next run!

Such words he absolutely could not say!

The rules of the world were still watching all this through his eyes!

So...

He could only praise her! Kiss her! Vigorously praise and kiss her!

Let her know that she didn't do anything wrong! She did exceptionally well!

M-Master...!

Liguang was still staring at him blankly, her voice a bit floaty, her slightly swollen lips trembling.

Really...?

Does Master really... think so...?

Fang Qi looked at her silly little appearance from being kissed...

He simply couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth!

Click, click, click—

Outside the door, the sound of lock-picking continued.

The door frame was vibrating.

But he didn't care at all. He just lay there on the floor, cradling Liguang's small face, smiling radiantly!

Of course!

Liguang is the best!

You did wonderfully!

The silver-haired girl's eyelashes fluttered.

The scarlet in her crimson eye... also changed from the previous mad flashing to a gentle flow at this moment.

Her lips moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a very, very small arc.

A little shy, a little secretly delighted.

And a little satisfaction after being praised!

Fang Qi looked at that small curve at the corner of her mouth...

He really wanted to kiss her again!

So beautiful!

His crazy wife was so beautiful!

Click, click, click—

The lock-picking sound outside the door kept ringing, becoming more and more urgent!

Fang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over.

The vibration of the door frame was also becoming more and more obvious!

Gu Xi's voice came through, laced with impatience and worry!

Hurry up! Why is it taking so long this time!

There were also voices of other people conversing in low tones. He couldn't hear clearly, but he could tell there were at least four or five people.

The sniper outside the window was still aiming at them.

On the sofa, Lin Xiaoyou was still slumped there, her eyes hazy, tilting her small head to look at them.

And he was lying on the floor, pinned underneath the silver-haired girl.

Fang Qi looked at the trembling heterochromatic eyes in front of him...

He didn't feel the slightest bit of panic!

He only felt excitement!

Incomparable excitement!

This feeling...

It had been a long time!

At the ending of Monster in the Mirror, Liguang's madness and self-loathing after his death made him afraid to do anything radical again!

Since then, he had been suppressing his own radicalness and madness!

Later on, Twilight at the movie theater, the endless cycles of reincarnation, the loss of Liguang's eighty-two years of memories...

Time and time again, they pushed his former madness bit by bit into the deepest part of his heart, until today.

But now, under this desperate situation...

That passion and madness felt like they were back!

They were constantly surging up, swallowing the only remaining panic in his heart at this moment!

His brain was also incredibly clear at this moment!

He instantly sorted out the current situation!

What should he do now?

Wait for the police outside to open the door and let Liguang slaughter them?

Or use Lin Xiaoyou as a hostage to question the police and get some useful information?

No.

Neither!

That sniper outside was still glaring at them like a tiger watching its prey!

That person...

Was probably the same sniper who had accurately hit An Lian's temple from another building back then!

The other party was connected to Lin Xiaoyou, and the other party called the police to protect Lin Xiaoyou...

Heh.

The tired and irritable face from the milk tea shop surfaced in his mind.

...Xiao Qing, is that you?

Haha, he almost forgot.

If Xiao Qing's emotionally bound target, her Master, was Lin Xiaoyou...

Then her feelings for Lin Xiaoyou should be just like Liguang's for him, and Xiao Yue's for Uncle!

Paranoid!

Possessive!

Crazy!

So, how could she really let Lin Xiaoyou get close to him?

Liguang just said that the muzzle of that sniper rifle... poked out from behind a curtain!

Not the roof, not the hallway window...

But from inside a residence!

A residence?

Did she break into a private house?

Or...

Could it be that from the very beginning, from the first day Lin Xiaoyou met him...

She had been observing from there all along?

Fang Qi looked at Liguang's stunningly beautiful small face in front of him, his breath trembling slightly.

Xiao Qing, don't tell me...

From beginning to end, you have been living right across from us, watching us the whole time?

...Then what about Lin Xiaoyou?

Lying on the floor, Fang Qi slightly turned his head, looking straight at the round-faced girl still sitting hazily on the sofa.

Speaking of which...

He seemed to have never known where his good teammate Lin Xiaoyou actually lived.

When she was at work, she would deliberately get close to him...

What about after work?

Other than the times she shamelessly insisted on coming to his house...

Did she observe him at other times too?

Lin Xiaoyou, Xiao Qing's good Master, why do I feel like...

You should be living with Xiao Qing?

Oh right, just now when she came over...

Let me tell you a little secret, Senior. Actually... I am already on my way.

You got here really fast!

Lin Xiaoyou, Xiao Qing...

Don't tell me... you guys have really been next door this whole time, secretly watching the happiness between me and Liguang?!

Eh...?

I think I really...

Found! You! Guys!

This time, you came looking for us, so next time...

Will it be our turn to come looking for you?!

"...Liguang."

His voice trembled slightly, his very chest vibrating!

Liguang's eyelashes fluttered!

"Liguang, listen carefully..."

His gaze was fixed straight on Liguang's trembling heterochromatic eyes!

"Your Master..."

"Does not want to fall into the hands of those people outside!"

"So..."

Fang Qi's trembling breath ruffled the hair at the silver-haired girl's temples:

"Liguang, can you... help me?"

The corners of his mouth curled up, little by little!

"Rather than being taken away by those people..."

"Master would rather..."

He stared intently at those heterochromatic eyes!

"Die by Liguang's hands!"

The silver-haired girl's breathing stopped for a moment!

She also stared straight at him, the scarlet in her red eye instantly freezing!

The two just stared fixedly at each other!

Her phoenix eyes were wide open!

So cute!

And... she understood!

She knew what he was saying!

— Master wants to rewind.

— Master wants her to kill him!

Just then, Gu Xi's somewhat anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Are you done yet?!"

"No, this lock is really too weird, too hard to pick! I've never seen this kind of structure before!"

"...Then break it down by force!"

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out directly from outside!

The whole door shuddered!

But...

It still wasn't opened!

"...What?!"

"Even a gun can't shatter it?!"

"What kind of door is this?!"

The doorframe jolted violently!

Someone was ramming the door!

They couldn't break it open!

"No good, try again!"

"Bang!"

A second gunshot!

Fang Qi continued to stare into Liguang's trembling eyes.

In his peripheral vision, the door panel was vibrating, and the doorframe was creaking!

But the lock remained incredibly sturdy, not even budging an inch.

...?

Was the lock on his door really this tough?

Gu Xi, my matchmaker sister... you've got some good luck!

It's a good thing you didn't open the door, otherwise...

You'd be having nightmares too!

The silver-haired girl also instantly looked toward the door!

The moment the gun went off, her red eye flashed again!

With a sharp hiss from her fingertips, half a length of crimson blade popped out!

But in the next instant, she quickly retracted it.

She held back.

She wanted to go and slaughter everyone outside the door... but she held back!

— Master didn't tell her to do that.

— Master told her to do something else.

Such a good girl!

Liguang lowered her head again, lying on Fang Qi and looking at him.

"Master... Master I...!"

The scarlet in her eyes surged, the amber trembled, and tears flickered wildly!

Her lips moved...

Her fingertips trembled violently, raising, then falling.

Raising...

And falling again!

Finally...

"Master, Liguang... Liguang..."

A trembling sob!

"Liguang can't do it!"

Her lips quivered!

"Besides... besides..."

"All of this is Liguang's fault...!"

She stared dead into his eyes:

"Master shouldn't die!"

"It's Liguang... Liguang is the one who should die!"

"Liguang... Liguang really deserves to die!!"

"Liguang will apologize with her death right now!!"

As she spoke, her right hand suddenly raised, reaching toward the back of her own neck!

She was going to dig out her own core!

No!!

Fang Qi was quick, forcefully grabbing her wrist in one swift motion!

Liguang's movements froze.

Fang Qi stared at her, his breathing becoming slightly ragged.

"Liguang...!"

His voice was trembling, his eyes shining!

The curve of his mouth was widening!

He felt his entire being enveloped in an excitement that was about to overflow!

He gripped her wrist tightly, his voice trembling, the curve of his lips... repressed madness!

"I only want... to die by your hands!"

"Liguang, you don't want me to be killed by anyone else either, do you?!"

His eyes were terrifyingly bright as he stared at those trembling heterochromatic eyes, breathing out shakily:

"Let me die by your hands!"

— Don't kill yourself!

— Kill me!

— Only if I die can you retain your memories in the form of a dream!

He wanted to preserve Liguang's memories!

As for whether Lin Xiaoyou would retain her memories, or whether Gu Xi outside the door would retain hers...

It didn't matter!

Lin Xiaoyou, since you don't remember anything... then let your memories get even more confused!

Gu Xi, my matchmaker sister...

You should remember all this too, and then come find us next time!

Next time... Liguang and I will definitely entertain you properly!

And the silver-haired girl... her simulated breathing had completely stopped!

Her gaze trembled as she stared at his fanatical face.

Her whole body was shaking!

She understood what he meant.

And her eyes...

Were filled with fear!

Genuine fear!

Tears were constantly swirling in her heterochromatic eyes!

Even though she knew he could rewind, even though she knew he would wake up again after dying—

She was still so afraid!

Afraid of killing him, afraid of ending his life with her own hands, afraid... of watching him close his eyes forever!

But...

Haha...!

Fang Qi stared at her pretty face and laughed excitedly!

The grin on his face grew even more exaggerated!

Staring fixedly at Liguang!

Because, in his slightly blurred vision from excitement...

The silver-haired girl's eyes and lips were trembling; she was indeed terrified, indeed afraid...!

But the corners of her mouth...

Couldn't stop curling upward!

Slowly, tremblingly...

Curling higher and higher!

That familiar sick curve was back!

All sorts of contradictory emotions were madly intertwining on this pretty little face!

Like a thrill-seeker standing on a bungee jumping platform for the first time, trembling as they look at the cliff they are about to dive off!

As expected!

Just as I thought!

Crazy woman... I knew it!

I really understand you too well!

She was afraid, but she was excited!

She was terrified, yet ecstatic!

She knew that jumping off a cliff was terrifying! But she also knew that no one would get hurt because of it!

They would rewind!

When death did not equal a permanent parting, then her extreme fear of killing him...

Would completely lose its meaning!

Fang Qi's breathing also grew rapid!

The crazy woman just wasn't used to it yet!

She was still scared...!

Scared and excited at the same time...

She was just too cute!

"Mas... ter...!"

Liguang's voice trembled violently!

"Master only wants...!"

"To die... by Liguang's hands...!"

She muttered, muttering non-stop!

"Only wants to die... by Liguang's hands...!!"

She stared blankly at Fang Qi, her lips trembling, constantly repeating this sentence!

Over and over again!

Like chanting a curse, or making a declaration!

Fang Qi felt her intertwined fear and excitement...

His heart beat so fast it felt like it would jump out of his chest!

Come on...

Come on, you crazy woman!

Come on!!

It's not like it's the first time!!

He forcefully pulled her hand up, and then...

Pressed it heavily against the back of his own neck and head!

Her fingertips were icy cold, carrying a slight tremor as they pressed tightly against the skin on the back of his neck!

"Liguang..."

Fang Qi stared at those still-trembling heterochromatic eyes, the corners of his mouth splitting into a grin.

"You said it, right? As long as Master doesn't have any physical contact with Lin Xiaoyou..."

"You would be a very, very good girl!"

His voice trembled uncontrollably!

Crazy woman... if you can't bring yourself to do it, then Master will give you a reason!

"Didn't you say..."

"That you would do whatever Master tells you to do?!"

Liguang's entire delicate body was trembling madly!

Her gaze quivered more and more, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an increasingly exaggerated smile!!

And he was trembling right along with his crazy woman!

"Now...!"

"Master is placing his life completely in your hands!"

"So—"

He stared intently, straight into Liguang's wildly trembling eyes!

"Right now, at this very moment!"

"Take it!!"

His voice echoed through the living room!

Bang, bang! Bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Echoing together with the sound of the door being smashed from the outside!

Lin Xiaoyou was still slumped in the armchair, her eyes vacant and hazy as she watched them.

On the floor, their scorching, frantic breaths intertwined!

The red gleam in the silver-haired girl's crimson eyes cast a flashing, blood-red glow over both their faces!

"Yes..."

Her lips trembled violently, her hot breath brushing against his face...!

"Yes!!!! Master!!!!"

Zzzzt—!!!

In the instant the back of his head received the most intense jolt of electricity, Fang Qi still wore that fanatical, morbid smile on his face!

Before plunging into ultimate darkness, he seemed to see...

A flash of bright, deep blue dart through those amber eyes!

Then, the darkness swallowed him whole.

But this time, the darkness...

Actually made him feel incredibly warm!
