A Fragrance Made From the Flesh of a Tentacle Will Definitely Make People Addicted

As the pouch was opened, these surrounding cats appeared even crazier, all meowing with a sharp and ear-piercing sound. Their claws jumped out suddenly from the soft padding, scratching at the thing below their claws, even the limestone tiles had white marks from being scratched, and Chi Yu seemed like he saw some fragrant air that had solidified. He covered over his nose while using one hand to hold the pouch, then some thing in the brain gradually scattered a bit, bringing back a moment of clarity. The number marking his sanity was also strangely jumping, but this seemed just like a struggling fish that was thrown on the chopping board- a hard-to-resist thirst intensely knocked on Chi Yu’s soul, calling him to let go, to go smell this splendid scent, even if Chi Yu already saw that the thing housed inside definitely could not be called splendid——

An object that was like the limb of an octopus, pitch black, sleek, continuously seeped with some viscous liquid from the cut area. There with no sucker, nor division of skin from muscle, like it was an entire tentacle, half a palm’s size, and all around it, there were some dried autumn orchids and cloves stuffed there that only made things more conspicuous.

But Chi Yu’s gaze finally uncontrollably went into a slight trance.

The brain seemed like it was restricted by some thing. The heavy and sluggish feeling was not unfamiliar, Chi Yu was startled inside, and struggled, not willing to sink into it, but in reality, the hand covering over his nose already subconsciously let go, and the oral cavity uncontrollably flowed out with some saliva.

Flowing down from the corner of the mouth, like an addict, he pressed the pouch in his hands to his face, and inhaled the scent inside with slight rapture, while the cats beside his feet surrounding him still called out without a stop. Finally, one cat could not help it, pounced up from the ground, and jumped towards Chi Yu’s face.

Chi Yu’s body slightly turned to one side and avoided this attack. That expression of extreme thirst on his face finally disappeared again, and turned seemingly a bit more normal.

But afterwards, Chi Yu turned around, and walked towards where Gu Wen Qiao left in.

His gaze swept all around without aim. White walls and green tiles, winding red corridors, within such a big residence, Chi Yu did not meet a single person on the entire way. Only he was walking around. Those three maids did not follow him out the door at all, nor did Gu Wen Qiao order them to follow Chi Yu either.

Underneath the sunlight, everything seemed very quiet and beautiful, especially the meandering pool water beneath the corridor, deep and serene and tranquil. Even though this big of a pool did not even have a single lotus, it still grew with dense and crowded duckweed, pretty much overspreading with a slumber. The small, white flowers in shapes of flower-buds with big leaves seemed like a miniature of lotus flowers……

Looking at it like this, it was all exceedingly pretty.

And below the water, there were also creatures swimming around, but because it was too dark, one could not see it clearly, but that thick and big fish-like being would scatter some duckweed from time to time, making Chi Yu see there was something swimming beneath the surface.

It was at this time.

Chi Yu seemed to be in a daze, or distracted, or perhaps something else.

He let go of his hand, and that pouch that made him reveal a deranged attitude was dropped down.

In an instant, the originally calm pool suddenly rose with giant splashes. A strip of something that exceeded Chi Yu’s expectations, or perhaps, something that could not use a strip to describe, flew out from the water. At this moment, Chi Yu finally, after entering this place, smelled a hard-to-describe stench for the first time- foul, disgusting, making people think to slippery, rotting fish corpses, and this pool water that made people want to avoid it pretty much poured from the top of the head to Chi Yu’s face.

Chi Yu’s face was not that good.

However, he still couldn’t help but widen his eyes to look at everything in front of him.

This thing in front had a head like a shark’s, but its mouth was very long, very sharp, and when it opened its mouth to bite the pouch, Chi Yu saw four rows of sharp and yellowed teeth. Below its head was a fish’s body, except, further down, it turned into many pitch black limbs, very much like the thing held in the pouch.

This was too disgusting.

Chi Yu could not help but think, could it be that it even eats its own body?

Chi Yu once again checked his own window. At this time, he did not feel that the thing in front was that scary, naturally, he was certainly startled, but at the same time, that itchiness at the bottom of the heart was hard to bear, while a kind of pressing feeling urged his dissatisfaction, making him feel even more terrible. All the symptoms were no different from an addict, and what was scarier was, Chi Yu felt his own heart jumping.

It was not that thumping one had for a secret crush, nor the beating after intense exercise where breathing would be irregular. That heart was using its might to hit the thoracic wall, beating hysterically with a strong frequency, and Chi Yu even lost his fear in this kind of situation.

He looked at that hideous thing, and actually even wanted to snatch the pouch back.

Chi Yu used strength to suppress the irregular pulsations in his heart, exhaling bit by bit, then inhaling…… the monster in front of him did not have any interest in him at this moment, but started chewing the thing in the pouch. Chi Yu slowly retreated to leave, while his eyes looked to the big or small wounds on the monster’s body.

At many, many places between the limbs, there were quite many cuts, however, on the places of some of the cuts were also protruding balls of flesh, and on other places, one could see some very small tentacles growing, like a kind of malformed product.

Chi Yu brought out his own window, and started checking.

「Sanity：31/35」

「Stamina：25/80」

「Debuff：Addict (atypical)」

「Duration：Unknown」

「Role：Flower-picker —— 80%」

「Main Quest：Pick flowers at least once a day (Today：0/1)

Be reported

Sully a soon-to-be-wed person’s innocence and have passersby all know. 」

This was a survival game, after all. Chi Yu attempted using light footwork, and he already exited out of the corridor. When he saw the outer wall, he tried thinking how he would get up and flip out, since there was nobody in the residence, he did not want to stay in this strange place any longer- he did not have any heart to get in contact with those maids in the room ever again.

The sole regret was that today was already a new day, he must complete his quest…… to exhibit an animalistic desire towards a game’s NPCs…… as for how the quest was completed for the past few days, Chi Yu did not have that much memory. His facial colour was not that right, emerging with a bit of dark red and dripping with sweat too. This kind of addiction debuff was still within a controllable range for Chi Yu for the time being, as long as he did not continue smelling that fragrance…… Chi Yu tapped his feet, then used strength, and as expected, leapt to the top of the wall. It was the first time he stood here and looked downward, so he first stabilized himself, then looked all around. Very quickly, he found the exit, and what made Chi Yu surprised was, the security in the residence was truthfully too weak.

The skies were going to darken soon. Chi Yu did not even hesitate and ran off. The judgment he had before was completely correct- not long afterwards, Chi Yu went inside a small alleyway, and then, he strutted out from the alley, and started thinking about one matter.

Could the survival game give him such a simple quest? Only needing to throw away one’s moral integrity?

That strange dark red colour on Chi Yu’s face seemed to turn a bit deeper.
