Before her stood a skeletal figure, its flesh gnawed away, leaving a gruesome sight.
Her face had been ravaged by some beast, half of her skull missing, revealing the pulsing brain matter and blood within.
Her left eye remained intact, but the right one had fallen from its socket.
A thin strand of muscle tenuously connected her head to the eye, which dangled precariously in mid-air like a leaf about to fall.
It seemed ready to drop at any moment.
The clothing in front of her was riddled with large holes.
In the bloody cavities, white bones were visible alongside various colored organs, with chunks of flesh continually dropping from the wounds.
When she saw Lin Xun, a chilling smile crept across her lips.
But as she smiled, her left eye also fell from its socket.
In a panic, she quickly caught it with her hand and hurriedly stuffed it back into place.
"Ah, it's Gentleman Lin... and Mr. Hua and..."
"What’s wrong?" Xu Jingyu interrupted Summer Lotus.
Summer Lotus's expression turned grim. "I've lost something very important. Could you please help me find it?"
"What is it?"
"My cat!"
A new task appeared in the taskbar for the three of them.
"Hahaha, the task has been triggered! In this game, if you accept a task and don’t complete it, you might die!"
"Finally, we can see how players die!"
"Are you all stupid? Hua Tian and Xu Jingyu have also accepted the task. If they fail, they will die too!"
"Who cares about those two? I just want to see them all die! Completely! Utterly!"
The chat was divided into two factions.
One group wanted Lin Xun to die but didn’t care if Hua Tian and Xu Jingyu perished.
The other group wished for all of them to meet their end.
In any case, no one cared about Lin Xun's fate...
Damn it!
Upon seeing the task, Hua Tian felt a sense of relief.
"Mr. Lin, we are safe in this room! We accepted Summer Lotus's task, and until we complete it, Summer Lotus is unlikely to harm us!"
However, Lin Xun’s face was filled with worry.
A main quest in a game and a side quest would likely not overlap.
Lin Xun kept pondering what "it" referred to in the main quest.
If it was a ghost or monster, the pronoun used would be "he" or "she."
If it was a deity, then it should be referred to as "He," "She," or "It."
Only plants and animals would be used for that.
Thus, Lin Xun speculated that what the Main Quest sought was an animal raised by someone in the Brothel.
Indeed, a pet.
They certainly wouldn’t keep cold-blooded creatures like lizards or snakes in the Brothel, as they would frighten the guests.
If they were to keep any animals, it would only be cats or dogs.
Since they were talking about cats and dogs, there would be shedding!
That’s why Lin Xun went to the Changing Room to search.
If any piece of clothing had animal hair on it, it would mean that its owner kept a pet.
And this pet could very well be what the Main Quest was looking for: it!
But now, Summer Lotus had given them a Side Quest.
This Side Quest was to find her cat.
Since the Main Quest could not overlap with the Side Quest, it meant that Lin Xun's assumption about the Main Quest was incorrect!
However, he was always quick to make decisions.
Now was not the time to hesitate; he needed to find Summer Lotus's cat as soon as possible.
"You will find my cat soon, won't you?"
Summer Lotus revealed a gentle smile.
But due to the damage on her face, that smile appeared terrifying beyond measure.
"Hahaha, it's Death Notice! If you don't complete the task within the specified time, you die!"
"I suspect Summer Lotus's cat isn't a normal cat; after all, how could a ghost possibly keep a regular cat?"
"Who knows? The plot written by Lord Ming is always unpredictable."
Lord Ming?
What is that?
Lin Xun was curious about who Lord Ming was, as mentioned in the Danmaku, but he wasn't sure if he should ask.
Lin Xun decided to follow the storyline and said to Summer Lotus, "Don't worry, I will find it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the task list updated with a new Side Quest.
[Side Quest: Find Summer Lotus's cat (Time limit: three hours)]
[Note: Time is life, my friend!]
Three hours? Are you kidding me?
Do they think this is like a fire department rescuing a kitten stuck in a tree?
Searching the entire Brothel would take way more than three hours!
Lin Xun cursed silently in his heart.
After leaving Summer Lotus's room,
Hua Tian immediately asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have any clues?"
She asked with great anticipation.
Up until now, Lin Xun had always managed to find clues for her when she was at her wit's end.
Just like now.
Although it seemed there were no leads, Lin Xun must have already thought of a solution!
Lin Xun pondered for a moment and replied, "No."
Hua Tian: ?
"How can you not have one?"
"I'm not a miracle worker who can conjure something out of nothing!"
After saying that, Lin Xun began to pace in the hallway.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the basement exit on the first floor.
It was none other than the Burly Man.
The Burly Man was covered in various wounds, as if he had been bitten by some small creatures.
His face was weary and disheveled, and his tank top was torn to shreds.
Not only did his pants have a large hole, but he was also missing one shoe.
However, what caught Lin Xun's attention was not this.
It was the cat that the man was holding in his arms.
A Black Cat.
The color of the cat was exactly the same as the animal fur attached to the clothes of Summer Lotus in the Changing Room.
Although the Burly Man looked disheveled, there was a pleased expression on his face.
He strode straight up to the second floor, but as soon as he reached the hallway, he was blocked by Lin Xun and his companions.
"What’s going on? Do you need something?"
The moment the Burly Man saw Lin Xun, he concealed his vulnerable side.
His demeanor changed instantly!
A sinister look appeared on the man's face, and his eyes were filled with Killing Intent. He seemed to transform into a vicious wolf, ready to snap Lin Xun's throat in the next second!
"Don't be nervous; I'm not your enemy! My name is Lin Xun. What’s yours?"
Lin Xun tried to ease the tension.
"Zhan Lang." Zhan Lang shot a disdainful glance at Lin Xun. "Then why are you blocking my way?"
"I want to cooperate with you!"
"Cooperate? With you? I don’t partner with weaklings!"
In the Death Game, only strong alliances mattered; there was no room for mercy or compromise!
"What about a trade instead of cooperation?" Lin Xun asked again.
Zhan Lang's interest was piqued.
"What kind of trade?"
"We've also taken on the task from Summer Lotus."
A single word was used with great finesse.
Zhan Lang raised an eyebrow.
"You want to go to Summer Lotus's room with me to hand over her pet and complete the task together?"
Lin Xun nodded, "That's right!"
"Hahaha!" Zhan Lang let out a hearty laugh, "Do you really think I would agree?"
"That's why I said it's a trade. Since it's a trade, there must be something to exchange!"
Lin Xun pushed Xu Jingyu in front of Zhan Lang.
"You want to trade a woman with me?" Zhan Lang stroked his chin, "In this Game, women aren't worth that much. More reasonably, another woman would suit my taste better!"
Xu Jingyu glared at Lin Xun and Zhan Lang.
Meanwhile, the "other woman," Hua Tian, took a step back behind Lin Xun.
