Chapter 132 Love Even If It Kills!
Summit's heart pounded like a drum, his eyes fixed on the "goddess," completely ignoring the rules of the manual, Qin Yue's warnings, and the tragic example of Park Sung-sung's death.
He had only one thought in his mind: to rescue her! To be with her!
Guided by his memory, he stumbled back to the door of cell number 27.
"Goddess... I'm here..." Samit gasped for breath, his cheeks flushed, and he reached out with trembling hands to touch the cold alloy door.
He took out his internship access card and frantically swiped it on the reader—
This was of course futile; his authority was simply insufficient to open the door.
"Beep—Insufficient permissions!" The cold electronic voice sounded.
Samit's face showed despair and anxiety.
Just then, the voice that haunted his dreams, like the most enchanting spring breeze, rang directly in his mind, carrying a hint of surprise and just the right amount of gentleness:
"Is it you? My brave knight...you've returned to save me?"
"It's me! It's me!" Summit was so excited he almost cried. "Goddess, how can I get you out of here? I can't open this door!"
"Don't rush, my dear..." The Phantom's voice was full of seduction, "I feel... your heart is connected to mine."
"Look at the side of the access control controller, isn't there a physical slot for emergency manual unlocking?"
"Use your card, insert it there, and enter your sincerest 'love' as the password... Maybe a miracle will happen?"
Sure enough, Summit found a narrow gap in the access control system.
Without hesitation, he forced his access card in, shouting hoarsely into the reader:
"I love you! Open the door! Let me in!"
A miracle, or rather, a nightmare, actually happened.
The alloy prison door, which theoretically should never be opened by a low-level card, surprisingly made a soft "click" sound from inside, and the air pressure seal at the door seam slightly deflated.
The door actually opened a crack!
Summit was overjoyed. With all his might, he pushed the door open and rushed inside!
"Phantom" stood in the center of the room, smiling radiantly, her beauty captivating.
She opened her arms to Summit.
"My knight, welcome to...my world."
Summit rushed forward recklessly, like a moth drawn to a flame.
However, the moment he touched the "Phantom", something unexpected happened!
The smile on "Phantom's" face instantly turned eerie and greedy. Her originally soft arms gripped Summit like iron clamps, and she slammed him onto the velvet-covered bed.
Summit was still basking in the ecstasy of his "dream come true" and hadn't even realized what was happening.
Immediately afterwards, "Phantom" leaned down, her beautiful face close to Summit's. Her red lips were slightly parted, but it wasn't a kiss; instead, it was like an invisible vortex, beginning to frantically draw in!
"Uh... Ah...!"
Summit finally realized something was wrong. He felt an extreme sense of weakness, as if all his energy, vitality, and even his soul were being rapidly drained away!
He struggled desperately, but found that the other person's strength was astonishing, and he was unable to move at all.
He was horrified to see that the skin on his once plump arms was rapidly drying out and losing its luster, turning into something like withered tree bark!
Summit's eyes were wide open, almost bursting out of their sockets, as he stared intently at the face above him, still perfect, yet devouring him like a demon.
It only lasted for a dozen seconds.
Summit, the chosen one from India, then completely stopped struggling.
He lay on the luxurious bed, now a dried-up corpse with sunken eyes, skin tightly covering his bones, and completely devoid of moisture.
"Phantom" slowly straightened up, stuck out her bright red tongue, and licked the corner of her mouth with lingering satisfaction, as if she had just finished enjoying a delicious dessert.
"The taste... is rather tart and palatable." She murmured to herself, the alluring smile on her lips appearing incredibly chilling in the dimly lit cell.
........................
Studio:
"Lust is a double-edged sword; the ancients were right! Now you've really been drained dry!"
"This Indian guy suffered a huge loss! He gave away his prize without even understanding what the other party was doing!"
"What I thought would be a romantic encounter turned out to be a funeral, and a self-inflicted one at that."
"As expected of the Third Brother, who doesn't even spare lizards, he really got what he wanted this time!"
........................
At that moment, a grand and chilling announcement of the supernatural tales resounded in the minds of all the chosen ones and on the supernatural tales live streaming channel:
[Strange Tales Announcement: Summit, the chosen one from India, has been eliminated.]
[Strange Tale Punishment:]
A thick gray fog shrouds the capital city of Derry, where "Sound Hunters" hunt any creature that makes a sound exceeding 50 decibels.
Studio:
"50 decibels? Does that mean it'll be gone if I sneeze?"
"Just for your information: Normal conversation requires 60 decibels; that rule practically forbids you from even speaking!"
"Now silence truly is golden; speaking a word in Derry is tantamount to suicide."
"The ambient noise level in the library is about 40 decibels, which means you don't even dare to turn the pages too loudly in Derry!"
"If you open a sign language training class in Delhi now, you'll definitely make a fortune."
"From now on, couples will have to rely on text messages to argue, for fear of raising their voices in the heat of the moment."
"The biggest winner has emerged—Derry's lizard!"
........................
Qin Yue was standing in front of the conference table, pointing to an open sample of a "Prison Area Inspection Log," explaining the key points of the record-keeping to the trainee prison guards:
"The key is objectivity and accuracy. No subtle anomalies, such as a prisoner's eyes, whispers, or even extra water stains on the wall, can be overlooked..."
Before she could finish speaking, the grand and chilling announcement of the strange tale pierced everyone's minds like an invisible icicle.
The air froze instantly.
The crowd exchanged fearful glances, and then suppressed whispers spread like ripples of panic throughout the conference room.
Qin Yue frowned: "That Summit guy is really courting death!"
She looked around at everyone and then announced, "That concludes today's meeting."
"You are now free to move around. I suggest you familiarize yourselves with the exercise area, the prisoner labor area, the canteen, and the convenience store."
"Apart from these few places, don't wander off anywhere else!"
"Remember, the staff canteen's dining hours are from 6 PM to 7 PM."
"Meeting adjourned!"
After Qin Yue hurriedly left, Tom immediately approached Lin Feng: "Brother Feng, where are we going?"
Lin Feng answered decisively, "I'll go check out the administration building."
Ryuichi Kamishiro's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened instantly: "What are you doing in the administration building?"
Lin Feng said calmly, "Go and try to get on the good side of the deputy warden."
Upon hearing this, Tom and Ryuichi Kamishiro almost simultaneously showed expressions of disbelief.
Takashi Kamishiro instinctively clenched his fingertips, his voice becoming slightly high-pitched:
"No...didn't the deputy warden specifically instruct us not to disturb her unless it's something important?!"
