Old Domain Bizarre

Chapter 25 The Mouse
When Song Jianguo saw Zhang Wenda rummaging through the wriggling intestines, searching for the white, round worms with centipede legs, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

She had asked about coal, and it turned out that these things could indeed make money, and it wouldn't be long before she could save enough money to buy superpowers.

"Good job, keep it up. Don't sleep tonight, work until dawn."

Song Jianguo clearly disliked this kind of place, but she endured it in order to gain her special abilities as soon as possible.

After giving Zhang Wenda some strict orders not to attempt to attack her and not to leave, she began to doze off. It was already midnight, and she was getting sleepy.

Not long after, a black insect flew up in the Go room, then two, then three.

As the surrounding temperature gradually became hot and humid, Song Jianguo, who was feeling drowsy, suddenly felt something was wrong.

She opened her eyes, looked at Zhang Wenda who was still engrossed in his work with a puzzled expression, and thought it was just her imagination.

But not long after, when she saw the five black pieces fly up, she realized there was a problem.

"Wait! Stop looking!" Song Jianguo shouted, then looked around nervously before running towards the door.

Zhang Wenda chuckled, released all the white chess pieces that had come back to life, and sat on the flesh and blood, waiting for Song Jianguo to return. His plan had succeeded.

A few dozen seconds later, Song Jianguo finally returned, a hint of panic in her eyes. "Where's the door?! I'm asking you, where did the door go?!"

"Door? What door? I didn't see a door when I came in," Zhang Wenda said innocently.

"Do you want to die! Answer me! Where's the door?!" Song Jianguo pointed the spear in his hand directly at the other man's neck.

However, Zhang Wenda seemed unfazed by the death threat. "That's right, I want to die, and I'm going to take you with me."

"Let me introduce you to the Youth Palace, an underground creature. Now it's alive, and it's going to take us back hundreds of meters underground, where we'll all die together."

Hearing this, and seeing the flesh and blood around her beginning to writhe, Song Jianguo panicked completely. She hadn't expected that the other party could set a trap for her while she was under his control!

She pointed at Zhang Wenda and said through gritted teeth, "Now! I order you to find the door right now!"

Although this was a forced order from Song Jianguo, Zhang Wenda did not move; he just chuckled.

"I'm sorry, but if you only control my body, you can't make me find the door. There's no use in you commanding me if I can't do something."

Song Jianguo tried to pry out Zhang Wenda's way of returning, but no matter what methods she used, or even tortured him, Zhang Wenda remained unmoved and simply lay down on the ground and started to give up.

Seeing Song Jianguo's anxiety, Zhang Wenda became less anxious and instead felt a sense of satisfaction in having successfully deceived someone.

As the oxygen level inside the children's palace decreased and the temperature gradually rose, Song Jianguo's expression became extremely unpleasant, and he began to feel exceptionally anxious.

"Don't forget! If that happens, you'll die here too!" Song Jianguo said through gritted teeth, baring his tiger teeth.

“Yes, I’m going to die here. I’m just a worthless life. I’ll trade my life for yours. I’ve made a huge profit.” Zhang Wenda sat up calmly, facing Song Jianguo.

"Then I'll kill you right now!" Song Jianguo gripped the spear tightly against Zhang Wenda's neck.

"Heh, do you think this kind of threat will still work now? I was planning to go with you anyway." Zhang Wenda looked at the other party with a mocking smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Song Jianguo tried to poke it in with one hand, but stopped after only breaking a small puncture.

Suddenly, Zhang Wenda, holding a spear in one hand, thrust it towards his own neck. This terrified Song Jianguo, who quickly pulled the spear back. Zhang Wenda had anticipated this. No matter how unruly the child was, she was still just a brat; she couldn't bring herself to risk her life. Since she couldn't risk her life, she was destined to be at Zhang Wenda's mercy today.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Song Jianguo loosened his grip and finally gave in.

She gasped for breath and said, "What are you trying to do! I don't believe you really want to die!"

"Simple, untie this for me, or we'll all die together." Zhang Wenda pointed to the collar around his neck.

"Okay! It's a deal! I'll untie it for you once we get up there!"

Zhang Wenda looked at her with disdain. "Do you think I'm stupid? Untie me now, or we'll all be finished."

"No! What if you untie it and then don't look for the door!"

“Even if I can’t find the door, I’ll die here. I just want to break free from your control. Once I get up there, I’ll give you the function ticket, and we’ll settle things completely.” Zhang Wenda said resolutely.

"No!" Song Jianguo rejected it outright, but the increasingly oppressive atmosphere around her was gradually crushing her nerves.

Zhang Wenda had experienced it once, and he understood that the fear of being gradually surrounded by death was something the other person couldn't withstand.

When Song Jianguo started to feel dizzy, she finally gave in, because she realized that the other party was not joking. If she didn't open it, he really would take her down with him!

Give me the ticket first!

After receiving the ticket from Zhang Wenda, Song Jianguo felt a little calmer. At least he had gained something. Even without this guy doing the hard labor, he could have found a way to save up 10 yuan.

She pulled a brass key from her hair and inserted it into the edge of Zhang Wenda's collar.

Although I was very unwilling, the collar opened with a click.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened to Song Jianguo.

Zhang Wenda, who was prepared, instantly exerted his strength and caught the collar that had been taken off. With a snap, the collar was tightly around Song Jianguo's neck.

The moment the noose was around his neck, Zhang Wenda immediately ordered, "Give me the key!"

Under Song Jianguo's desperate gaze, her body involuntarily handed the keys to Zhang Wenda.

Zhang Wenda wouldn't leave the same flaw unaddressed. He snatched the key and threw it directly into the bloody folds of flesh in the nearby youth palace.

Looking at Song Jianguo, who was wearing a collar, Zhang Wenda showed the same smile that Song had worn two hours earlier.

"What, does it feel like you've suddenly fallen from heaven to hell? Great, that's exactly what I wanted."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wenda reached out and brazenly touched the other person's cat ears.

"I heard your name is 'Cheap Cat,' right? Nice to meet you. Let's get to know each other again. My name is 'Mouse.'"

"Oh dear~ Why is your head so pointy? Does that mean people with pointy heads aren't very smart?"
