Chapter 51: “Midnight Hunting Spree (25): Human Skin Boutique”
Leinster and Otomen Lover were both new challengers, so they didn’t know, but the veteran challenger, the fashionable woman, instantly shuddered.
This crying voice!
Is it...is it her??
The fashionable woman felt that her luck was so bad, but she didn’t want to miss out on such a good chance like killing Leinster, so after thinking it through, she stayed still, silently keeping an eye on Leinster’s location through the mini map.
At the same time, another batch of new challengers, this time ten people at once, also burst into the store, touching the clothes here and there.
"Where is he? Ughhh!"
"Hey, hey, hey, why is the store on fire? What the hell was going on?"
"This side is completely fine, though?"
"This is good. The shopkeepers are all attracted to the other side so our side will be safer."
The challengers looked at each other and despite silently treating the others as rivals who would snatch their prey, they chatted as if they were good friends.
Halfway through browsing the clothes to find Leinster’s hiding place, another crying voice resounded, this time even louder than before.
"Waaahhhhhh!!!"
The ten challengers subconsciously frowned and some cursed with taut faces.
"Who is crying? So noisy!"
"Isn’t it a baby’s cry? But whose baby is crying?"
"Uh...isn’t it strange that there’s even a baby around?"
Everyone paused at that question and they shuddered from head to toe.
Wait, is it...a ghost? Not a normal human baby?
Is there a ghost customer around??
The challengers quieted down and looked around, shining their oil lamps on the area around them.
Just then, one of the challengers whose ability was sharp eyes that could see even in the dark noticed a figure approaching a place not far from their location.
The person squinted their eyes and saw someone not too tall, with a rather dainty figure.
It was probably a woman.
But the woman’s belly was a bit big, as if she was...pregnant?
Hmm, strange.
Even stranger was that...there was a baby crying in her arms.
"Wahhhh!"
Ah, the baby cried again.
But there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the baby...
The challenger doubted their own unusual guess just now but then, the challenger’s eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened so big that it could fit two eggs.
"L-look! Look! Everyone...over there!"
The person pointed his trembling finger in the direction of the pregnant woman, instantly attracting the other challengers’ attention.
Then, everyone sucked in the cold air, their calves trembling and some almost dropped their oil lamps.
T-the baby...
There was another baby.
And this one...
It was floating in the air!
Fck! Fck! Fck! What kind of ordinary baby was that??
That woman must be a ghost!!
The new challengers had seen many kinds of ghosts in other challengers’ livestreams when they had not entered the ruins, so everyone knew that the most dangerous entity was always those with strange quirks or identities.
Like that pregnant woman.
Ahhhhh! Run! Run! Run!
Half of the new challengers quickly retreated while the other half looked at the map and their audience’s comments, their hearts were reluctant.
The comment section said that Leinster was there!
But the pregnant woman was also walking in that direction....
Was she also targeting Leinster?
If that’s the case, they better not snatch her prey.
The new challengers didn’t want to court death but they didn’t immediately leave, just lingering a distance away, waiting for an opportunity.
At the same time, Leinster also felt that the sound of the crying baby was getting closer and closer.
It was as if the baby was coming his way— no, it wasn’t his imagination.
That baby was indeed coming to his place!
At this distance, even Otomen Lover could already see the figure of the pregnant woman and her knees fell to the floor with a plop.
"L-le-le-le— "
She’s so scared she couldn’t even call his name, but the woman didn’t leave Leinster’s side at all.
If anything, she gritted her teeth and scooted closer to Leinster, intending to shield the toddler’s body with her own body.
Leaning on Otomen Lover’s back, Leinster let out a mocking smile.
Hahaha. Is it now the natives’ turn to hunt him?
No wonder the shopkeepers in this store didn’t dare to come after him...it must be because there was someone more formidable than them, right?
Leinster looked at his empty Emo Gauge and felt that he could suck another round of fear or sorrow from Otomen Lover, but just to lift his eyelids was already extremely difficult.
He...didn’t have the energy to suck food anymore.
How laughable.
Is this how he’s going to die?
Just when the two people were wallowing in despair, the pregnant woman stopped exactly a meter away from Leinster and Otomen Lover.
Then, she slowly shone over the oil lamp in her left hand at Leinster and Otomen Lover.
"Hmm....are you guys...okay?"
The woman’s soft voice resounded in the dim light, her black hair swayed slightly.
The yellow light shone upon the woman, revealing a glimpse of her peerlessly beautiful face—
And a pair of mysterious, amethyst eyes.
Otomen Lover saw that face and she was stunned for a split second, her breath stuck in her throat.
Oh, no...so beautiful!
It was as if Goddess Nuwa came down to earth to take care of her children or something.
That face was so gentle and warm that Otomen Lover couldn’t even think of fearing her, but...
The more this happened, the more Otomen Lover felt her blood growing cold and her stomach churn.
Dangerous...
This woman...is dangerous!
Leinster was no different from Otomen Lover.
The moment the woman showed her face, instead of being mesmerized, the alien who didn’t know the concept of beauty actually shivered from head to toe.
The hair on the back of his neck stood up and goosebumps appeared all over his arms.
Run! Run!
We have to—
"Huh? A child?"
The woman’s ethereal voice rang close, so close that Leinster felt as if the woman was whispering right next to his ears.
And indeed, Leinster looked up and saw the woman was already right in front of him.
!
When did she move over here?
He didn’t even see it!
There wasn’t even a wind!
Just when Leinster was about to muster his strength to flick his chain, something sweet and warm suddenly hit his face.
It was a familiar...emotion.
Then, the silent OmO system suddenly blared loudly.
DING! DING! DING!
[Attention! Attention! Detecting a new emotion! A new emotion! It is so strong! So strong!]
