Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 47: “Midnight Hunting Spree (21): Human Skin Boutique"

Chapter 47: “Midnight Hunting Spree (21): Human Skin Boutique"
Otomen Lover almost screamed like a groundhog.
"W-what is this? Is this the jewel store’s punishment? No, no, it can’t be."
Ever since they stepped out of the store, Leinster’s hard body slowly became soft, just like hers.
Of course, thanks to that hardened body, Leinster was still breathing a few times, but...
What is it now?
Did a challenger use their ability or something?
Otomen Lover quickly looked around, wary that a challenger might pop up out of the blue.
After all, she also saw the Bounty Event notifications!
Damn it, Leinster, why did you provoke so many people as easily as drinking water??
Leinster himself only felt that his cold body suddenly gained a little warmth and then, his body...shrink.
No, no, it didn’t really shrink.
He was actually...becoming younger?
20 years old.
15 years old.
10 years old.
5 years old.
One..years old.
Leinster’s long arms and legs turned into short limbs like lotus roots.
His entire body was now so small it fit perfectly in Otomen Lover’s arms.
His clothes shrunk alongside his body, becoming a...toddler clothes.
But his tongue robe remained, becoming a swaddle.
"Wah...?"
Leinster’s eyes opened with a bang and he subconsciously waved his short arms.
....the fck?
What kind of sorcery is this??
Then, as if answering Leinster’s question, the system chimed in.
DING! [Detecting the host’s body dire situation.]
[Using up the life-saving inheritance ••• ]
[Life-saving inheritance: 1/3]
What...? What?
Life-saving inheritance?
Does this body...have such a thing?
Isn’t he just an ordinary madman, a death row criminal hated by the entire country?
Is there something more to this body??
Leinster was about to ask the system when the system kindly explained.
[Dear challenger, you can ask your parents about this thing. The system only detected the inheritance and triggered it according to the rules.]
...? Parents?
This body had parents??
Leinster’s mind was full of questions so he didn’t notice that his comment section already descended into chaos.
[Leinster Slayer:
Impossible! Impossible! Why didn’t he die?!]
[Detective Conman:
Turning into a child...the wound also became smaller. This is not scientific.]
[Is it only me or is this method familiar? You see, when some beasts and monsters are injured, they will revert to their juvenile body to save energy.]
[Huh? Could it be that this guy is a monster too? So he’s not just a father of monsters, he himself is a monster!]
The audience immediately created countless conspiracy theories but one thing Leinster understood—
He was only barely alive.
Sure, he didn’t die right away, but hey, his heart was pierced and his chest kept bleeding.
If he didn’t replenish his energy or whatsoever, he would never heal.
Just then, Leinster heard some noises and the sound of rapid footsteps in the distance, along with flickering yellow dots.
His face instantly turned pale.
"Not...gwod! The challengels... they ale hele— bah!"
What’s with this mouth?! Can’t you speak clearly?
Can’t. Still a one-year-old, severely injured toddler.
Fck.
With this kind of body, how could he survive a blow from the challengers??
"Lun! (Run!) Lun! (Run!) Hide...in a stole...and tuln (turn) off the lwamp!"
The lamp would only make them an easy target!
"O-okay! Okay!"
Otomen Lover quickly packed up their things and without any ceremony, picked up Leinster and hugged him like he was a real child.
"Ughhh! Why are you so heavy??"
Otomen Lover grumbled but she still rushed towards the second floor, her heels clanking all the way through the elevator.
Right after Otomen Lover sneaked away onto the second floor, the horde of zombies— oh, no, the horde of challengers swept through Leinster’s previous location with red eyes.
"Ah! He’s not here!"
"The red dot is moving away! Damn it!"
"What a slippery loach."
"Hey, look! The floor...there are blood stains!"
Everyone quickly shone their oil lamp onto the floor and indeed saw a mess of things.
Red and black blood, still fresh.
A small hill of...ash?
And a bunch of empty oil cans that were neglected here and there.
Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up.
Even if Leinster got away, he couldn’t get too far...
Because he’s injured!
Alone and injured, how could he escape?
The challengers were so focused on hunting Leinster that everyone forgot to gather clues to clear the ruin.
A pity. The challengers didn’t know that Leinster managed to kidnap his one and only loyal fan to help him escape, so he...wasn’t alone!
The challengers were all rushing to the second floor, not noticing that a group of corpses in various stores slowly came out with stiff movements.
"Bounty....bounty..."
Their eyes turned even redder than before and the next second, they moved as fast as lightning, definitely a jump scare to the audience.
"Second...floor!"
The group of corpses without a precise mini map decisively followed after the challengers.
Their IQ...was impressive!
It sent a chill down the audience’ spines.
[They are really...just pseudo level four supernatural beings, right...? Right?]
At the same time, Otomen Lover and the one-year-old Leinster were already on the second floor and to their surprise, the second floor was visually bigger, like twice as big as the first floor.
From the outside, it didn’t look like that!
Still, a big hunting ground was beneficial for weak prey like them.
Otomen Lover noticed a big clothing store on her left side and she immediately rushed into the store.
"Let’s hide between the clothes!"
"Yeah...yeah..."
Leinster was too lazy to speak and just nodded, his head feeling extremely heavy.
Don’t sleep! Don’t sleep! You sleep, you die!
Before entering the clothing store, Otomen Lover swiftly tucked the oil lamp into her embrace and shoved it onto Leinster’s tiny hands.
"Hold it. We still need at least one source of light!"
"Uh...yeah..."
Meh, whatever.
The duo carefully entered the dark store with their dim light, not noticing that the mannequins behind them slowly turned their necks with a creak...
Their eyes lit up with red light and they walked down the display with light steps.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Crack. Crack.
"Uh..."
Leinster’s sharp ears caught something and his ears subconsciously twitched.
"Did you heal (hear)...anytwing...?"
"Hear what— "
Swish!
