The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven
Chapter 1196 Part 2
Chapter 1196 One Hundred Percent (Part Two)
The date ended, and it was already getting dark.
The cherry blossom trees, which look gorgeous and romantic during the day, now resemble menacing monsters, standing menacingly along both sides of the road.
The cottage was shrouded in night, with warm light streaming through its French windows—the only source of light here.
Lin Jiuniang didn't say a word to Zhu Hengzhi and stumbled out of the carriage.
Her blood-red high heels tripped over something on the gravel path.
The next instant, she fell straight to the ground.
His hands and knees were scraped raw by the gravel.
It hurts, it hurts terribly.
But this pain is nothing compared to the pain that ravaged her body.
She couldn't get up for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you up."
Zhu Hengzhi appeared beside her at some point, his hands in his pockets, looking down at her.
"Yes, of course you can't, you can't do anything."
Now Lin Jiuniang is even too lazy to maintain politeness.
She looked very disheveled.
My hands and knees have abrasions from the fall, and small pieces of sand are still embedded in the wounds.
Her once smooth and shiny long hair was now sticky and clumpy, and the stray hairs on her forehead were smeared with sweat on her cheeks.
His face was as pale as paper, and there were traces of blood and vomit at the corners of his mouth.
The stunning woman in red from this morning is nowhere to be seen.
Even the expressions that fell into view were full of ridicule and mockery.
However, Zhu Hengzhi, who was standing next to him, looked no different from when he left.
Their relationship seemed to plummet to freezing point after this "date".
Zhu Hengzhi, however, did not care at all.
“I know you resent me, but none of this was my intention.”
Lin Jiuniang laughed in anger.
My mind was a jumbled mess from the pain; even my recent experience was blurry, only fragments remained—
A dessert tart with excessively bright colors.
Layer upon layer.
Scones, strawberry cake, cream puffs, chocolate mousse cake, crème brûlée...
Then came the pain, numbness, nausea, and vomiting...
Now all that remains is resentment and anger.
And there was also Zhu Hengzhi's cold, scrutinizing gaze.
I never expected a "date" to be like this.
It should be said that we should have expected this. How could Gaowei let them have an easy time?
All the sugary coating was finally torn away during the "date," leaving only the naked and cruel test.
The smiling shop assistant said that the two of them had to finish the dessert tower, otherwise the date wouldn't end.
Eating desserts alone is fine, but they also contain random "surprises" that can have all sorts of negative effects.
If there were two people sharing the burden, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like Lin Jiuniang is now.
But she was matched with Zhu Hengzhi.
A person without a body.
Lin Jiuniang could only swallow them one after another.
I don't know how much I ate, I only remember eating from day to night.
She fainted several times, vomited several times, and even cried out in pain, but forced herself to swallow her tears because of her pride.
Zhu Hengzhi remained a cold observer throughout.
It was as if everything was irrelevant to him.
So when the date ended, the waiter brought over a button with a smile.
[Thumbs up]
Lin Jiuniang stared at Zhu Hengzhi with blurred vision for a long time before finally pushing him away angrily.
Zhu Hengzhi, however, revealed a faint, indifferent smile.
I pressed his "like".
"Thanks a lot."
That's what he said.
"Pooh!"
Lin Jiuniang feels the same way now.
She gave him a cold glance and said nothing more.
She took off those cumbersome high heels, picked them up, and slowly got up.
Every movement was accompanied by excruciating pain.
But she endured it, rushed to the door, and pushed it open to enter.
Several people were already seated in the living room.
It seems that her situation isn't much better than hers.
Erica's white shirt was stained bright red, and she was leaning against the sofa with a frighteningly cold expression.
Sophie is bandaging her up.
Their relationship was strange; they were not very harmonious before, but now they were helping each other.
Hearing the noise, Sophie turned to look at Lin Jiuniang.
Her face was also very pale.
It was almost whiter than the pearls on her neck.
"Should I take some painkillers?"
Lin Jiuniang did not refuse.
She nodded.
"Luckily, there's a first-aid kit here."
Sophie rummaged through the open medicine box on the table, took out a bottle of medicine, and handed it to her.
Lin Jiuniang glanced at the label and then smelled it.
"What, are you afraid I'll trick you?" Sophie said with a smile.
"You can never be too careful."
Lin Jiuniang poured out one pill, swallowed it directly, and then slumped into the sofa.
Not long after, Hananoin Yunshang and Gu Huaizhi also returned.
Hananoin Yunshang's sky-blue babydoll dress was torn in a large patch, her arms were wrapped with strips of cloth that had been hastily torn off, and there were several small bloodstains on her face.
At this point, she couldn't be bothered to maintain her cute and innocent demeanor anymore and started swearing:
"What kind of bullshit dating show is this? Production team, come out here! How can you be so unprofessional?"
Gu Huaizhi followed her into the living room.
His arm was also covered in blood, leaving a trail of bloodstains on the ground.
Sophie was taken aback, then silently handed him the bandage.
Gu Huaizhi quietly thanked him.
He took a bandage, wrote the word "stop" in blood on it, and then wrapped it around his arm. The bleeding stopped immediately.
Everyone could tell at a glance that it was his ability.
"Do you need my help?" Gu Huaizhi asked Erica.
Erica nodded. "Thank you."
Sophie, watching Gu Huaizhi treat Erica, said, "Why don't you help Wuqie too?"
Where is he?
"He's upstairs. He was badly injured and has gone back to his room to rest."
Gu Huaizhi nodded.
He took the bandages upstairs.
After a while, he came down again, shaking his head and saying:
"He didn't respond; he's probably fast asleep."
A moment of silence fell over the living room.
Lin Jiuniang looked around and suddenly asked:
"Where is Valentine?"
"how?"
A magnetic voice came from the direction of the kitchen, igniting the dull atmosphere.
"Did any lady remember me?"
Lin Jiuniang looked up.
Valentine emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron.
His phoenix eyes fell on her face.
It was much warmer than Zhu Hengzhi's.
It made her cheeks burn uncontrollably.
Is it really possible?
He will be his 100%...
"Dinner's almost ready," Valentine interrupted her reverie. "Shall we all get ready?"
“I’ll help.” Erica stood up.
"I'll join you too," Sophie said, getting up as well.
The two entered the kitchen one after the other.
Lin Jiuniang was still feeling unwell, but she forced herself to go along.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she saw Liu Sheng and Li Chuankong inside.
The two are cooking together.
Surprisingly, he didn't seem to be injured at all, and appeared calm, suggesting that the "date" went well.
On the other hand, Valentine, although he was also helping in the kitchen and his smile was still perfect, you could also tell from a closer look that his legs were a little unsteady when he walked.
He just tried his best not to show it.
Hananoin Unsho also came over. Just a moment ago, she was full of resentment, but now she was like a well-behaved little animal, following Valentine who was carrying a pot of things.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Her eyes lit up. "Valentine, did you make this?"
“Yes,” Valentine said with a smile, “Braised beef bones, do you like it?”
"like!"
"I'll give you some tonic. Are you injured?"
Hananoin Unsho instinctively covered her arm, her smile freezing for a moment.
"It's alright, just a minor injury."
"That's good, otherwise I would have been heartbroken."
Valentine walked out of the kitchen.
The aroma of beef bone broth wafted past Lin Jiuniang's nose. The freshness of tomatoes and the rich meaty fragrance blended perfectly.
But her stomach suddenly churned.
"vomit--"
She couldn't help it and covered her mouth, gagging.
Everyone immediately looked over.
Lin Jiuniang reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, I'd better not eat anything. Let's go upstairs and rest first."
Valentine said softly, "Then you should get some rest."
Liu Sheng also said, "If you need medicine, look for it in the medicine cabinet in the living room."
"Yes, I've already eaten."
No one tried to persuade them to stay.
Lin Jiuniang returned to the room she had chosen, locked the door from the inside, and collapsed onto the bed.
Perhaps due to the effects of the medication, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up because of the knocking on the door.
dong dong dong.
Not a single ray of light shone through the curtains; it was still night outside.
Look at the clock on the table, it's 11:50 now.
She still had some pain, but it was much better than when she first came back; she was just annoyed by being woken up.
The knocking continued.
"Who is it?"
No one responded.
Lin Jiuniang was somewhat annoyed, but she did not rush to open the door. Instead, she let Xue Si go out to see what was going on.
There was no one outside.
But the knocking finally stopped.
Strange.
At that moment, Lin Jiuniang suddenly noticed a pink envelope on the table.
Has it always been here?
Or did it just appear?
Lin Jiuniang was unsure.
She was feeling so unwell when she got back that she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately, having no energy left to notice the details in the room.
She asked Bloodline to bring the envelope.
Her name was written on it.
The reverse side also has a wax seal, just like the letter Liu Sheng had received before, which is the heart-shaped seal pierced by an arrow.
It can be confirmed that it was arranged by the production team.
Inside was a fragrant pink card with just one line of text—
Please write down your ideal date, the person you most want to date, and return the envelope before the end of the day.
Lin Jiuniang was stunned for a moment.
So the knocking was a reminder from the production team? A reminder that her day was almost over and she needed to finish quickly.
Does writing it down really make it possible?
Half believing and half doubting, Lin Jiuniang walked to the table.
There was a fancy quill pen on the table.
She picked up the pen.
I was just about to write down Valentine's name.
But just as the pen was about to fall, she suddenly stopped.
That disgusting dessert tower reappeared.
A cloyingly sweet taste, accompanied by pain.
And there was Zhu Hengzhi's cold indifference.
Who was Valentine dating again?
Oh right, it's Erica!
But judging from Erica's miserable state, Valentine seemed to have only suffered minor injuries in comparison.
Will it be...
Was Valentine that kind of person too?
Just like Zhu Hengzhi.
Now that she had calmed down, Valentine's dazzling magic had faded considerably, and Lin Jiuniang finally began to recall more details.
It's only the first day.
She only compared two people.
It's not yet 100% certain that Valentine is the one with the highest match score.
Moreover, she had always been well aware of Valentine's ability to manipulate people's minds.
But she still always falls for it without realizing it.
such as--
Why did she want to check Valentine's match value in the first round?
It's very likely that she was influenced by him before even entering the cabin.
What about the others?
Could it be the same?
Very likely.
The details of that time in the living room replayed in Lin Jiuniang's mind frame by frame.
Valentine kept radiating charm at each of the female guests.
Maybe everyone has tested him.
So when he called out at dinner, everyone reacted immediately, as if subconsciously trying to make a good impression on him.
But is it really because of the high matching score, or is it his ability that's at play?
Lin Jiuniang was unsure.
It's only the first day anyway.
I'll compare it to someone else again tomorrow.
There's no need to jump to conclusions about Valentine so quickly.
What's more, today's date was just too unpleasant.
Rather than finding someone who makes you waver, it's better to find someone who is capable and willing to take risks.
The two figures in the kitchen flashed through Lin Jiuniang's mind.
Liu Sheng.
Li Chuan Kong.
Neither of them is in any danger.
I don't know if it's because their "dates" aren't as bizarre as their dessert shop's, or if it's because of the people involved.
But the former is unlikely.
You can tell by how badly everyone has suffered.
That's mostly due to human factors.
Lin Jiuniang knew that Liu Sheng's combat ability was not particularly strong.
Her strengths are mainly reflected in weapon crafting and infrastructure construction.
If they were outside, Liu Sheng could use the Hongtu Building and its fancy formations, but he brought nothing in here.
Even if you want to make something by hand, you need the ingredients and the time.
Therefore, Liu Sheng should not be the key.
But Li Chuankong is empty.
His ability is the Great Evolution Technique.
Perhaps we can use deduction to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.
That's probably the case.
As for the others—
Kirigiri Muneshige was clearly seriously injured, possibly even more so than her, so there was no need to consider that.
Gu Huaizhi didn't show anything particularly unusual for the time being, but judging from Hananoin Yunshang's unhappy expression, the date wasn't going too well.
As for Zhu Hengzhi, there's no need to say more; there won't be a next time.
Lin Jiuniang gradually became more certain in her heart.
Finally, I wrote down a name.
She put the card back into the envelope and placed it back on the table.
The production team did not provide any further instructions.
Perhaps I should hand it over to them tomorrow?
Lin Jiuniang suppressed her thoughts.
Only now do I have the mind to tidy myself up.
When I opened the closet, I was surprised to find that the once empty closet was now full of clothes, including pajamas, clothes for going out, and several pairs of shoes, which I could mix and match as I pleased.
The drawer also contained many cosmetics and perfumes of different scents.
Judging solely from the fact that there is food and clothing, the conditions for this so-called special program are indeed quite good.
It seemed as if the purpose was truly to ensure the guests made a beautiful entrance and enjoyed one romantic date after another.
But the problem is that this "date" is not what it seems at all!
If it weren't for the fact that she had saved up a lot of offspring who could be used to ward off disasters, she probably would have died countless times already.
Of course, most of the time, the toxins weren't that deadly, so she didn't use her bloodline.
After all, bloodline is a limited resource.
Unless it's refined here...
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Lin Jiuniang immediately shook her head and brushed it away.
Forget it.
This is a group of unknowns.
To refine them into blood heirs, we must first defeat them.
I lack confidence in facing her head-on.
Moreover, the rules of the cabin stipulate that no physical contact is allowed.
There's no need to rush into suicide.
We will continue according to our own plan.
Lin Jiuniang took off her dirty red dress, went into the bathroom, and took a shower.
The warm water washed away the sand, sweat, and vomit, and temporarily eased the nausea left from the date during the day.
She changed into soft, fragrant pajamas and finally felt more comfortable.
As Lin Jiuniang walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair, her gaze casually swept across the table.
His movements immediately paused.
The envelope on the table is gone.
The bloodline showed no alarm.
The door was still locked from the inside.
In other words, no one else has been here.
Lin Jiuniang suppressed the chill that suddenly rose in her heart.
When facing higher dimensions, fear is meaningless.
There was only one thing she could do.
Accept the rules of the game.
