Chapter 1199 One Hundred Percent (Part 5)

The terrace fell silent instantly.

A chill crept into everyone's heart.

After a long pause, Gu Huaizhi finally broke the silence:
"But why? Is it because I broke some rules?"

Valentine, unusually, put away his smile.

"Would someone as cautious as Lao Li break the rules so easily?"

"And even if there is any danger, with his abilities, he should be able to detect the ominous signs and find a way to deal with them before the rules are implemented."

“So it wasn’t the rule?” Sophie looked at him. “What are you implying? That one of us killed him?”

“I didn’t say that,” Valentine immediately raised his hands, looking innocent. “Besides, aren’t we supposed to avoid attacking each other?”

Everyone fell silent again.

The wind blowing from the lake was bone-chilling.

Liu Sheng looked at the corpse floating on the lake, her expression remaining calm:
"Let's hurry back, it's almost time to start today's itinerary."

Everyone returned to the living room with their own thoughts.

Breakfast was eaten hastily and in a depressing manner.

Not long after, a new letter arrived.

Gu Huaizhi opened the letter and glanced at it.

"It's the voting results again."

"The most popular female guest is still Liu Sheng."

This result is not surprising.

"Popular male guest, Valentine."

Lin Jiuniang noticed a slight change in the atmosphere.

Valentine looked surprised and delighted, and bowed deeply to everyone.

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, ladies!"

The process proceeds as usual.

The group entered the small green room in order.

When it was Lin Jiuniang's turn, as soon as she entered, she saw the following displayed on the screen:
You have not been chosen as a dating partner by anyone.

Lin Jiuniang's heart sank.

There is another sentence below:
[Click "Select," and once the indicator light illuminates, place the card of your target date into the corresponding slot. Only one card can be placed at a time.]

Lin Jiuniang tried clicking on "Select".

The indicator light on the left groove is lit.

She realized that Valentine and Muneshige had already boarded the car and left.

Only Gu Huaizhi and Zhu Hengzhi remained.

Forget it.

Let's compare the matching values ​​first.

Lin Jiuniang canceled the selection again.

Hesitantly, he placed the cards of Gu Huaizhi and Valentine into the slot.

Unsurprisingly.

The side that was lit up was still Valentine's side.

It seems she's really going to stick with Valentine.

So how should we choose between the remaining two?
Two dating locations remain—

【C. Heart-Pounding Adventure House】

【D. Love and Care Handicraft Workshop】

First, we can rule out Zhu Hengzhi.

He didn't even have a heartbeat.

She tried to put Gu Huaizhi's cards into the selection box.

Sorry, this guest has already been selected.

Lin Jiuniang's face darkened.

How could this happen!
That makes sense, though. People enter the green rooms in the order of the first day, so it's possible that some people have been chosen but haven't entered the rooms yet.

Thinking back to the outside world, Yunshang hadn't entered the small green house yet, and Liusheng hadn't set off.

This means that Liu Sheng chose Gu Huaizhi.

hateful.

It's Liu Sheng again.

Lin Jiuniang was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

Does she really still want to choose Zhu Hengzhi?

Why would someone harm themselves and sell their blood to be with the "wrong person"?

Just as she picked up Zhu Hengzhi's card, she suddenly stopped—

That's not right.

She could have chosen not to.

Li Chuankong is dead.

It was never going to be possible to form five pairs today.

Someone will always get a turn.

Why can't she be the one who gets a bye?
Lin Jiuniang slowly put down the card and canceled her selection.

As she pushed open the door and stepped out of the small house, her eyes met Liu Sheng's.

The two hadn't spoken much.

Lin Jiuniang thought this time would be the same as before.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng suddenly spoke:
"You didn't choose anyone?"

Lin Jiuniang's heart skipped a beat.

"What's it to you?"

Liu Sheng said calmly, "It's alright."

Lin Jiuniang suddenly gave a cold laugh: "You didn't expect this, did you? You were the first to go in, but you chose to go out and suffer."

“Yes,” Liu Sheng nodded, “I want to experience more.”

Lin Jiuniang snorted coldly.

Stubborn.

She couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention and turned to walk back to the villa.

In the living room, Hananoin Yunshang, Gu Huaizhi, and Zhu Hengzhi all looked at her curiously.

"I'm not going, you go."

"Is this okay?" Gu Huaizhi asked curiously.

"There's no rule saying it's impossible right now," Lin Jiuniang said coldly. "Besides, someone has to take the fall, right?"

Yunshang looked envious: "That's great, I wish I could have a bye too..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the remaining two men shifted subtly for a moment.

This clearly shows that none of these were her targets.

But the "dating" must continue.

Lin Jiuniang watched the three of them leave one by one.

One pink car after another drove away.

In the end, she was the only one left in the entire villa.

The silence was so profound that only boredom remained.

There's nothing to do here.

Everything was fake; even the beautifully bound books on the bookshelf were just decorations, completely blank inside.

The production team probably doesn't think anyone would actually study here.

With nothing else to do, Lin Jiuniang went to the wine cabinet and took out some wine.

I made myself a blood-red cocktail.

He drank one cup after another.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lake was shrouded in mist.

Li Chuankong's body was still floating there.

Lin Jiuniang watched for a long time, until the effects of the wine slowly took hold, and she unknowingly fell asleep.

In her dream, she found her perfect match.

The spotlight shone on her.

She smiled as she raised the gleaming golden treasure chest, looked at Liu Sheng not far away, and revealed a victor's smile.

She won.

From then on, she was the center of the safe zone.

What Liu Sheng, what new world.

All must be done in the cold night—

and many more.

wrong.

She's on someone else's boat now.

Lin Jiuniang's smile in her dream instantly froze.

Instead, Liu Sheng's smile gradually spread across his face.

Extremely flamboyant.

It was as if they had already seen through everything.

Lin Jiuniang was startled.

A chill ran from my heels to the top of my head.

So cold.

She shivered and suddenly woke up.

The chill was coming from the terrace.

The snow-white curtains were blown about.

The wind from the lake blew into the house in gusts.

Lin Jiuniang looked over and suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

A figure stood outside the curtain.

It appeared and disappeared intermittently because of the movement of the snow-white curtain.

She was startled.

Blood gushed from beneath her feet, rushing towards the terrace and staining the snow-white curtains a large patch of dark red.

But when the curtains were drawn, the terrace was completely empty.

nobody.

Nothing at all.

It all seemed to be just her illusion.

Lin Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the curtain got dirty.

According to the rules, she should clean it up.

Just like the flowerpots that Liu Sheng had thrown away that morning, Liu Sheng cleaned them up herself and planted the potted plants in the garden.

Lin Jiuniang walked over, took the curtain down from the French windows, and carried it into the laundry room.

There was an extremely old-fashioned front-loading washing machine in the laundry room.

She hadn't done this kind of primitive work by hand in a long time.

In the past, this was naturally done by servants.

Moreover, many of the new technological clothing items on the planet Banlan have self-cleaning functions, so there is no need to waste water washing them.

Lin Jiuniang stuffed the curtains into the washing machine and pressed the start button.

The rollers began to rotate slowly.

She sat in the laundry room, watching the curtains flutter inside, and the effects of the alcohol gradually took hold, making her feel somewhat dazed.

until--

Clang, clang.

There seems to be something hard inside.

how can that be possible?
When she put it in, she could clearly see there was nothing there.

The only thing she had just put in was the curtain—a soft piece of fabric.

Lin Jiuniang was puzzled. She saw that it was dark inside, with only a snow-white cloth wrapped around bubbling foam.

She stared at it for a long time.

Blood began to seep from the snow-white foam.

It's very light.

It then became increasingly popular.

Clang, clang.

Lin Jiuniang seemed mesmerized. She slowly pressed her face close to the transparent door of the washing machine, trying to see what lay hidden in the darkness.

The more I look, the less I can see.

It was as if inside was an extremely deep well, leading all the way to an abyss.

Lin Jiuniang practically pressed the tip of her nose against it.

I still can't see anything clearly.

Clang.

Clang.

Clang.

Blood-red foam washed past my eyes again and again.

Finally, she realized that the snow-white curtain seemed to be wrapped around something.

It should be that hard object.

Round.

And dark gray silk?

As the rollers turned, the object was pulled out by the curtains, revealing a corner of it.

For a moment, Lin Jiuniang's heart almost stopped beating.

That was an eye.

But in the blink of an eye, it was gone again.

Even the clanging sounds stopped.

The foam turned snow-white again.

Outside the laundry room, the wind blew in from the terrace.

It's even colder than before because there are no curtains to block the cold.

Lin Jiuniang knelt in front of the washing machine, staring at the transparent door, her legs feeling numb.

It seems like it was just my imagination.

How could this be...?

Unless there's something truly sinister about this house.

Lin Jiuniang felt a chill run down her spine.

He was about to stand up.

Sudden--

Clang! Clang!
The sound rang out again.

And it's even bigger than before.

The entire washing machine began to shake violently.

Foam overflowed from the gaps next to the hatch, first snow-white, then gradually turning pink, and finally dark red.

Foamy water was spilled all over the floor.

Lin Jiuniang looked on in horror.

The next moment—

Boom!
A face was pressed tightly against the hatch.

As the drum rotates, it is forcibly flipped over.

Only those eyes, those unclosed eyes, remained fixed on Lin Jiuniang.

It's Li Chuankong!

Lin Jiuniang covered her mouth.

She covered the gasp that was about to escape her lips.

He stumbled and scrambled to his feet, trying to run outside.

But the ground was covered in foamy water, and she slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

Looking back.

The washing machine door was already open.

Li Chuankong's swollen and pale head was slowly crawling out, dragging the wet curtains along with his gray hair sticky and mixed in with the fabric.

His eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, yet he still stared intently at Lin Jiuniang.

It seemed like it was saying something.

Bloody foam spilled from his mouth.

Fish and aquatic plants in the lake were also bubbling and bubbling out.

The ground was a mess.

Lin Jiuniang held her breath.

Unable to calm his thoughts, he subconsciously raised his hand, and Xue Si rushed towards Li Chuan Kong to entangle him.

Blood splattered throughout the laundry room.

The pieces fell onto the foamy ground.

Half of his head fell to her feet.

His mouth continued to open and close.

Lin Jiuniang finally heard it clearly this time.

"You don't... want... to be with me... completely... completely..."

This time, Lin Jiuniang finally couldn't help but scream.

"what happened to you?"

Someone shook her shoulder.

Lin Jiuniang suddenly opened her eyes.

She almost instinctively stood up, and the Blood Seed in her hand instantly shot out, lunging towards the person in front of her.

But as soon as the blood offspring got close, they were easily dispersed.

Lin Jiuniang then fully woke up.

Standing before her was Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng was looking at her with his arms crossed.

Several tentacles reached out from behind her, pinching the remaining blood offspring in mid-air.

Lin Jiuniang's face turned pale.

Only then did I realize that the curtains were still hanging in front of the terrace.

It was snow-white and clean, swaying gently in the wind.

The sky outside had turned a pale pink, like cherry blossoms.

It's already six o'clock.

It turns out that everything just now was a dream.

She had been trapped in a dream state since very early on.

really?
Gu Huaizhi also asked, "What's wrong? You look terrible."

Lin Jiuniang did not answer.

Still trying to calm myself down.

Suddenly, Liu Sheng shouted, "Wait! Li Chuankong's body is gone!"

Lin Jiuniang froze.

Suddenly remembering the head clattering and tumbling in the washing machine, I stumbled up from the sofa and rushed to the laundry room next door.

But there was nothing inside.

The washing machine looked like it had never been used.

of course.

The curtains are still hanging on the window.

It was all just her illusion—

"What's wrong with you? Did you see something?"

Liu Sheng's voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Lin Jiuniang shuddered.

"No, no, I just wanted to know if anyone was using the washing machine so I could wash the clothes from a few days ago."

She managed to come up with a reason, albeit reluctantly.

Liu Sheng looked at her for a moment, but did not ask any further questions.

"so."

"We're going to make something to eat, do you want to come along?"

"it is good."

"Let me tidy up."

So Lin Jiuniang actually went upstairs and brought down some dirty clothes.

I also took a look in the mirror.

The person in the mirror looked as pale as a ghost.

She applied some blush before going downstairs again.

Liu Sheng and Gu Huaizhi were already busy in the kitchen.

Lin Jiuniang hurriedly entered the laundry room and stuffed the clothes into the washing machine.

However, just as she was about to close the door, her movements suddenly froze.

Her gaze was fixed on the corner next to the washing machine.

There was a little bit of bright red blood there.

It's very small.

But it was very glaring.

Lin Jiuniang's face turned completely pale.

Even in the kitchen, he was completely distracted.

Only Liu Sheng and Gu Huaizhi were chatting, seemingly enjoying each other's company, discussing their experiences running laps in the cold night.

“…Yes, we were lucky the first few times, we just happened to stay within the circle,” Gu Huaizhi said. “But because of that, we lost our judgment and actually ran towards the border. The fourth time, we almost got trapped.”

While chopping onions, Liu Sheng asked, "How long did it take you to get into the lap?"

"It probably took about nineteen hours to run."

Gu Huaizhi sighed softly.

"In short, it kept running like crazy after that. The last time was also on the sidelines, which is why I was worried..."

Liu Sheng nodded.

"We weren't so lucky. We were outside the circle at first, but luckily we ran fast enough later."

Lin Jiuniang silently pursed her lips.

It's more than just fast.

We'll keep it hidden.

They were running around comfortably with plenty of food and drink.

Unfortunately, she couldn't expose him.

But I felt even more unhappy—

Why is everyone who comes back from a "date" with Liu Sheng so happy?

On the contrary, she always manages to cause trouble.

There isn't even a candidate today.

However, the thought of tomorrow, and the fact that Valentine had already promised her, brightened her gloomy mood slightly.

She still has no clue how to win, but Valentine is her clearest target.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuniang suddenly felt that she should do something too.

We can't continue to be so passive.

It was dinnertime that day.

The group that returned were still covered in bruises, but seeing the dinner laid out on the table eased their initial gloom.

Gu Huaizhi has good skills.

The red velvet cake made by Lin Jiuniang herself received the most praise.

This was the day she felt most present in this little house.

Lin Jiuniang's mood completely changed from gloomy to sunny.

He even specially cut off the piece of cake with the cream heart pattern and placed it on Valentine's plate in full view of everyone.

Instantly, cheers and jeers erupted, some loud and some soft.

Valentine looked down at the cake on the plate, then looked up at Lin Jiuniang, his eyes full of meaning.

Lin Jiuniang looked back at him directly.

See you tomorrow, Valentine.

This only made the jeers louder.

Yunshang was furious and felt stifled.

Lin Jiuniang didn't care.

In this program, we should be more direct; opportunities won't be given to those who are timid and hesitant.

Moreover, the flurry of expressions on the faces of the audience clearly demonstrates just how much they enjoy this kind of performance.
