“Huh?”
What was she suddenly talking about…… she wanted to bring me there?
To that ‘undead city’?
The f**k, don’t be joking around, the name itself already suggested that it wasn’t a place where humans should set foot on.
“About that, is it really okay for you to bring a human to that kind of place? I’m not gonna get eaten, am I?”
Deceased dead and Living dead, the first impression they gave was ‘tear-bite-eat-gnaw’, then ‘attacking humans’ and lastly ‘infectious disease’…… Anyway, each one worse than the last.
“Don’t worry, I’m here with you, you’re gonna be fine~”
Li Nai gave me her guarantee with full confidence.
It was actually not bad if what Li Nai said was real, that was, nothing bad would happen. Since I wouldn’t be in danger, I’d just imagine that I was visiting a haunted theme park. Not that I couldn’t handle some jumpscares.
But with the words coming out from Li Nai’s mouth, I kind of felt like there was no degree of credibility to it……
This girl always spouted nonsense, I’d better ask more details, in case I got ripped off and had nowhere to complain.
“Do you mean, as long as you’re with me, those deceased dead and living dead will not attack me?”
“Unfortunately, my influence isn’t that strong yet~ maybe the surrounding chaps will bite me too, ahaha~”
“Alright, I’m going home, see you tomorrow, Li Nai -tongxue.”
After I put the broom back in the closet, I grabbed my bag and walked towards the entrance door.
“Wait, wait! Didn’t I say I’d take you to look around? Don’t go back just yet!”
Li Nai dashed towards me and grasped my wrists, not letting me leave.
“Who in the world wants to go to that ‘could-easily-get-attacked-and-die’ place! Also, even if I didn’t go home, I have to attend the night classes, I don’t have time to go to that netherworld-like place with you!”
I ignored her and flung my elbow, trying to shake her hand off, but obviously she wasn’t planning on doing that, she proceeded to hug my arm tightly and used all her strength to stop me from leaving.
What the f**k, so heavy…… why were all the girls that I met so freaking strong! These girls were slimmer than one another, but their strength was out of this world. Confusing indeed…… they overturned my impression on girls! How was this even near to ‘weak and delicate’! Rather than having me protect them, I became the one who was protected by them, which really gave me mixed feelings. Not that I was too weak, but they were too doughty……
“You can just skip night classes, and the place I live in is totally different from the netherworld. We’re not a group of chaos, we actually have social orders! Everyone is a good corpse, we won’t just bite anyone!”
You were telling me a place full of skeletons and the deceased dead had social orders?! What the hell was a good corpse? So I could just assume all those that didn’t look unsightly were considered good corpses?
“I don’t believe you! You just said they would even bite you, but now you’re saying they won’t bite, which is the truth?! If I died, are you going to take responsibility?!”
“None of that will ever happen, I guarantee you with my heart and brain, you’re absolutely not going to die. Well, you might just become the living dead at most!”
What did she mean by at most? That was the worst scenario! Also, the living dead, it goes without saying that they gave up their hearts and brains long ago, there was no value to her guarantee. Rather than becoming a brainless corpse, I’d choose instant death!
“Let go of me! You brainless living dead!”
“Ennnnnn, you’re so cruel! Although my memory is not the best, but I frequently eat walnuts! I’m much smarter than the normal corpses who can’t even talk, and even if I’m not smart, I’m not brainless!”
Li Nai faked her crying while continued lumping herself onto me. As if grabbing my arm wasn’t enough, she hopped onto my back with both of her hands around my neck, her legs wrapping around my waist, just like a koala bear hugging a tree.
No matter how hard I tried to shake her off she just wouldn’t.
In the end I said grudgingly, “Hah…… men and women should maintain a proper distance from each other. Can you get off me so we can talk face to face……?”
“Geh! What is this response! Normally when a guy gets hugged by a girl, shouldn’t he be revealing his horny smiles and make ‘muahahaha’ sounds! But Jun Cheng, to my surprise, you actually disliked that, I’m shocked and hurt!”
That was a pervert you were describing there……
“Your body is too cold, like ice, of course I would feel uncomfortable.”
If we were in summer, then maybe it would feel nice hugging her, but now was too early.
It was only May, and the sun was about to set. I wouldn’t say it was hot, it was actually a bit cold.
“Ah, I just remembered, the living dead doesn’t have the ability to adjust their body temperature. But it’s not that bad to be honest! We won’t feel hot even if it’s summer!”
That actually sounded quite amazing, since I really couldn’t stand summer. I personally was hot-blooded, so whenever summer arrived, I suffered a lot.
“Besides, you can eat whatever you want, sleep whenever you feel like it, no need to study, no need to work, no need to queue for lines, no need to squeeze with the crowd on the bus, and you don’t even need to pay for your housing loan, you can live however you like, follow your heart’s desires, do whatever you please, Jun Cheng, just think about it, isn’t that what freedom feels like!”
Heh…… I must be sick, thinking that becoming one of the living dead was not a bad idea……
“All in all, there are a whole lot bunch of benefits becoming the living dead! So…… Jun Cheng, you should be one too~ Come here, let me bite you~”
Li Nai jumped off my back, grabbed my shoulder, and flipped me over like a coin.
After that, she straightened her arms, opened her mouth wide, and leaned towards me with her head tilted to the side.
If she wasn’t drooling, I thought she was going to kiss me.
“Wah! Don’t come any closer! Your saliva is dripping! Close your mouth!”
“Aahhhh~~ Waaaa~~~ Ohhhhhhhh~~~”
“Now you show your true nature as the living dead!”
To avoid touching her saliva, I used one hand pressing onto her forehead, and put the other arm around her neck, not letting her get near me.
Yet, the strength of a mere human was unable to compete against the living dead. Li Nai gradually gained the upper hand, as she came closer and closer, I raised my head and screeched.
“Hey hey, you’re not serious, are you?! Do you really want to bite me?!”
“Of course I’m serious, or else why would I throw my lady-like image out the window and chase a man around while drooling? I’ve told you, being a living dead is convenient, you wouldn’t die easily either. I’m doing this for your own good~ If you become the living dead, you’ll be able to go visit undead city! So, come on~ Ahhh~~~~~”
Stop it with the ‘Ah’s! Even if you did that, I wouldn’t use my body to feed you!
