Chapter 253 Since you like twin tails so much...
Tang Xiaorui pouted: "That's boring. I thought I could lie to you a little longer."
"However..." She suddenly leaned closer, a sly smile curving her lips.
"The promise of 'marrying my sister to you' isn't entirely a lie, you know. How about it, are you tempted?"
Lin Feng leaned back slightly, creating some distance between them.
"Tempted?" He shook his head. "What I'm more interested in is leaving here alive. Miss Tang, your 'kindness' is too hot to handle; I dare not accept it!"
He looked directly into her eyes and added softly:
"After all, your 'sister' specifically warned me this morning that I absolutely mustn't get too close to you!"
Tang Xiaorui sighed as if she had heard something trivial, and slumped back in her chair.
"It's pointless, really pointless. You smart people always overthink things."
She played with her nails listlessly. "My sister's such a worrywart, such an old-fashioned person!"
"What curses or anything...it's all just nonsense circulating outside?"
"Those unlucky guys were just stupid and broke the zoo rules; it has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
The information panel for Tang Xiaorui provided by the system clearly states that she has a dual personality.
It seems that Tang Xiaorui herself is unaware that there is another "her" inside her.
Tang Xiaorui suddenly raised her hand, her fingertips gently brushing the strands of hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Feng:
"Do you like my current outfit? Don't lie."
Lin Feng nodded frankly: "Yeah, it looks much fresher than before, but I think you can keep your pigtails."
Tang Xiaorui smiled knowingly: "Don't think I don't know about all those memes about twin tails that you humans have—"
She suddenly reached out and lightly poked Lin Feng's arm, her eyes flashing with reproach: "Perverted! Vulgar!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with amusement.
........................
Studio:
"Tang Xiaorui, you're the one who's messy and you're blaming Brother Feng! (doge)"
"That cunning Tang Xiaorui! She's clearly deliberately picking on Brother Feng to unsettle him. She's so good at it!"
"You're cursing vulgarly, but your eyes crinkle into a sweeter smile than anyone else's. Xiaorui, your contradictory behavior is just too adorable!"
"Brother Feng, quickly find a way to break the curse and capture Tang Xiaorui!" (Voice cracks)
"How about opening up the scope... Let's do it together, sisters!"
........................
Lin Feng rubbed his nose: "I don't have any evil intentions towards you. I just think that pigtails suit your lively and innocent personality better."
[Ding! Tang Xiaorui's favorability towards the host increases by 10]
[Current Affection Level: 55 / 100]
Tang Xiaorui twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, a playful smile on her face.
"Since you like pigtails so much... how about we go outside now, find a bench, and you tie them up for me yourself?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
It must be admitted that at this moment, with those sharp metal ornaments removed, leaving only her clear and bright eyebrows and eyes, she does indeed have an almost innocent charm.
She was willing to remove those iconic symbols of rebellion just for this meeting, or rather, for his preferences...
This cautious attempt to "please" was like a feather gently tickling Lin Feng's heart.
If in the ordinary world there were such a lively girl who was willing to change for you...
The moment the thought popped into his head, Lin Feng quickly calmed down and suppressed it.
A second personality!!
He quickly calculated in his mind what trump cards he could rely on:
1. Rule exemption.
However, since the second personality does not exist at the level of rules, it is probably ineffective.
2. The Silent One's Handshake.
The theory is feasible, but the problems are even bigger.
Giving the second personality a big slap is like slapping Tang Xiaorui directly in the face.
That pretty face was ruined. Putting aside the heartache, just thinking about the possible reaction of the main personality after it wakes up... makes one's scalp tingle.
Moreover, the second personality's rampage could be instantaneous and without warning, leaving the individual with no time to react.
Even if he successfully silenced her "spell", he would definitely not be able to withstand a single S-rank, bizarre, pure physical "normal attack".
Sigh, this is definitely a hot potato.
Beautiful, dangerous, and uncontrollable!
All those beautiful ideas quickly faded in the face of a cold, hard risk assessment.
Lin Feng suppressed the regret in his heart and showed a slightly helpless smile:
"Forget it, I don't really want to... die young!"
"Tch, coward." Tang Xiaorui seemed to have expected him to say that. She rolled her eyes and resumed her lazy demeanor. "Fine, fine, don't say I didn't give you a chance later!"
She stretched, as if the invitation had just been a whim or a joke.
"The sachet is almost burned out; you should go now. Be careful this afternoon, lest you die!"
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "Thank you!"
........................
Lin Feng picked up his almost empty plate and stood up, and Wasim and the others immediately followed suit.
As I walked out of the cafeteria, it was just past 12:45, giving me a moment to catch my breath before my 1:30 pm shift started.
Just as everyone was about to discuss where to rest, a loud, crackling broadcast blared overhead:
[Attention all challengers! You may now proceed to the staff dormitory to collect your keys and take a short break.]
The dormitory is located on the east side of the park, adjacent to the logistics area, and is guided by signs along the way.
[Repeating...]
Without delay, the group followed the signs, walked through several quiet alleys, and arrived at two old three-story buildings standing opposite each other.
The building on the left is painted a mottled light blue with a sign that reads "Men's Dormitory," while the one on the right is dark red and reads "Women's Dormitory."
Lin Feng, Wasim, and Park Chang-beom headed towards the men's dormitory.
Upon entering the entrance hall, there is a small window on the left, under which sits an old wooden table with a person sitting behind it.
He was unusually short, almost swallowed up by his oversized old uniform, and his back was severely hunched.
So much so that when viewed from the front, the first thing that catches the eye is his unusually large hands, with knuckles protruding like tree roots, holding a quill pen and slowly writing on a thick book.
His face was covered with deep wrinkles, and a pair of small round sunglasses perched on his nose. In the shadows behind the lenses, it seemed that more than one pair of eyes were blinking, with occasional tiny, dark red specks of light flashing by.
He didn't look up, but spoke in a hoarse voice:
"New here?"
Lin Feng nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, the three of us... will share a dormitory room."
"No problem, here's the key, register yourself."
As he spoke, a multi-jointed hand pulled an old-fashioned brass key from under the table and placed it on the windowsill. The wooden tag hanging on the key read "303".
Lin Feng stepped forward, took the key, then opened the register and wrote down the names of the three people in the latest column with a quill pen.
........................
The staircase was made of cement, narrow and dark, with only a small vent at the top letting in murky light.
The three of them silently went up to the third floor. The corridor was even darker, and the motion-activated lights flickered and emitted an electrical hum.
The door in room 303 is a regular wooden door with peeling paint.
Lin Feng inserted the key, which made a rough "click" sound as it turned.
The door opened.
