Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"Huh? Where to go?"

"Nishikino Hospital. As part of the condition for you joining the Princess Goddess Association, there's something I need to investigate there," Mu Xiaoxiao said, turning back with a smile as she walked to the door. "As the director's wife, you should be able to provide some assistance, right?"

"It's possible, but why go there?"

Mrs. Ruifei was unaware of his purpose.

“Of course, it’s to witness the monster hiding in Nishikino Hospital. You can also see it as another kind of ritual, allowing you to see another side of this world firsthand,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, tilting her head back at a 45-degree angle.

"A monster? Nishikino Hospital?"

Nishikino Mizuki could hardly believe it, almost thinking she was hallucinating. "You said there are... how is that possible?!"

"Hospitals are generally the easiest places to attract monsters, and that's basically how it is in horror games."

You're talking about games too!

"In short, whether it's true or not, you'll know once you come with me, my wife."

"..."

Nishikino Ruifei stared at the young cult leader at the door for a few seconds, then stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Chapter 103 Alone

Like Reina, Nishikino Mizuki has bright red hair, a stunningly beautiful face, a mature and gentle temperament, and an extremely similar cold expression. No matter which angle Mu Xiaoxiao looks at her from, she feels that she is very similar to Reina.

Feeling uncomfortable under the boy's unabashed gaze, Nishikino Mizuki turned her head away awkwardly. "You... what's your name?"

"Shouldn't you call me Master? Of course, you can call me by my name too. I don't care about these rules," Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "Mu Xiaoxiao, this is my name."

"Master... are you really the master of the Divine Consort Society? Why..."

"You want to ask me why I became the leader of this cult? Well, although I was initially tricked into joining by Yi Yue, I've gradually come to accept the cult. It's quite interesting, and judging from the name, Lady Ruifei and the Consort God Society seem to have a connection," Mu Xiaoxiao said, continuing to look directly at her face with a calm gaze. "Besides, Ling Nai is my assistant and secretary. With that relationship, you don't need to be worried. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust your good friend, right?"

"Linnai too..."

Speaking of this, Nishikino Mizuki quickly turned around and met the boy's eyes. "I was wondering why Reina's body suddenly recovered and she was discharged from the hospital so quickly... So it was you who did it, the Mizuki-kai, the cult... Do they really have superpowers?"

"You've already seen Kawakami Tomie's monstrous form, so what are you saying?"

“...That’s true,” Nishikino Mizuki smiled wryly. “That terrifying woman has already shown it, but I didn’t expect that such power could even cure Reina’s illness. She’s not an ordinary virus.”

The two strolled slowly along the sidewalk. Itsuki Shima did not follow. This clever woman was very perceptive and wished that her cult leader would be alone with married women so that she could capture them all one by one.

Mrs. Nishikino was initially a little uncomfortable being alone with this unfamiliar young man, but hearing the name Reina made her relax a bit. "What is your relationship with Reina? She shouldn't have joined the cult for long, so how did she become a secretary?"

"Of course, it was through connections, Mrs. Nishikino. Reina is my woman, that's why she became a high-ranking member of the Order so easily."

Nishikino Mizuki's eyes widened in shock at his words. "What...you?"

How old is this boy? He's only a few years older than my daughter, and there's a big age gap between him and Ling Nai, right? Is this old man dating a young girl really true?

Rena's friend was deeply shocked.

The way he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao was different now.

"Getting back to the main topic, let's find a place to eat before going to Nishikino Hospital. It will be more convenient to investigate there tonight," Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the mature woman beside her who was still in shock. "Mrs. Nishikino, as a new believer who has joined the cult, I'll leave dinner to you. Offer me, the leader, a tribute."

Mu Xiaoxiao discovered that she was becoming increasingly adept at living off a woman's money.

"Sigh," the married woman sighed helplessly, "I know a nice Western restaurant nearby, let me take you there."

So why did it turn out like this? Having dinner at a Western restaurant with a boy I just met and got to know looks like a secret rendezvous. I'm not that kind of promiscuous woman, but he's Rena's... man, so it should be okay, right?

Nishikino Mizuki still felt something was off.

In the booth opposite Mu Xiaoxiao, Nishikino Ruifei watched the servant leave before speaking with concern, "Mu...kun, is there really a monster in the hospital you mentioned? Is it true?"

She wanted to confirm that she had lost her appetite.

If it is confirmed to be true, then if it gets out, it will be a huge blow to the hospital's reputation, and could even determine the fate of Nishikino Hospital.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the steak in front of her, raised her hand and waved her long sleeves, "Madam, feed me."

"what?"

“I can’t eat by myself,” Mu Xiaoxiao winked mischievously. “Help me cut the steak and then feed me.”

"...What happened to your hand?"

"I can't use it because of some special reasons, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for help."

Even so, isn't this action a bit too intimate? Mrs. Nishikino pursed her lips and stared at the boy for a long time. She glanced at the few customers in the restaurant, then elegantly cut off a piece of beef with her knife and fork, picked it up, and brought it to Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Watch him eat it.

Nishikino Mizuki's delicate and pretty face flushed slightly. Sure enough, this action was too intimate. It was too strange. This was our first meeting! Eating together at a Western restaurant was one thing, just a normal meal, but this feeding gesture…

They're practically like lovers!

Unfortunately, his true love is Zero.

"Hmm, although the portion was a bit small, the taste was pretty good."

“This is top-grade Wagyu beef,” what could Nishikino Mizuki do? Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao’s expectant expression, her wariness somehow lessened considerably. She cut another piece of beef and brought it to his mouth. Only after he ate it did she belatedly realize that it was her knife and fork. Nishikino Mizuki rubbed her forehead.

But surprisingly, he wasn't very resistant. Was it because of Rena, or did he want to get revenge on that man?

Mrs. Nishikino didn't know either, but the bigger reason was actually the aura emanating from Mu Xiaoxiao, which made Nishikino Ruifei naturally less wary; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so intimate with a man she had just met.

Given the impact of the [mysterious factor], which caused such significant changes in Ling Nai and the others, one can only imagine how much more drastic it must be for Mu Xiaoxiao, who possesses this ability.

He himself is also evolving towards a more perfect direction, with his temperament, aura and charm constantly improving. The evolved Ling Nai is so popular and attractive to men, so Mu Xiaoxiao is the one who attracts women and is like a bee and a butterfly, it's just that in his current state, he has less contact with women.

"Are you and Reina really dating? There's a big age gap between you two, isn't there? Why...?"

“Age is not a problem, and besides, age doesn’t matter to Ling Nai now,” Mu Xiao said, seemingly confused. Seeing the lady across from her looking bewildered, she laughed and said, “You’ll know when you meet her. Don’t be surprised then.”

"???"

Mrs. Nishikino must have not seen her best friend for a while. When she sees Rena now, who is so charming, her eyes will probably pop out. But before that, she should first find out the monster hiding in Nishikino Hospital.

It was already night outside the glass window. Nishikino Ruifei had to feed him and then eat by herself, which took quite a while. By the time they finished this Western-style meal, it was already evening. Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Let's go. We should go to Madam's hospital to investigate."

Looking at the moonless night sky and the chilly atmosphere, Nishikino Mizuki felt inexplicably afraid.

monster……

I've met Tomie Kawakami myself; that monster probably isn't as terrifying as this woman.

Chapter 104 Strong on the outside, soft on the inside

As the hospital director's wife, she doesn't need to come to the hospital to clock in every day, but Nishikino Mizuhi is also a doctor. As a doctor, she certainly wouldn't be perfunctory in her duties, which is why she used to be so busy. This reason meant that she and her husband rarely had time to care for or spend with their daughter, as they were always busy with work.

But things are different now. With what happened to the Nishikino family, Madam hasn't been to the hospital much lately. Standing with Mu Xiaoxiao at the entrance of Nishikino Hospital, looking at the brightly lit hospital building, the mature Madam had a complicated look in her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she turned to the mysterious young cult leader.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the hospital building in front of her, then glanced at the office buildings next to it. After a moment of contemplation, she pointed to the last one and asked, "What's that?"

“It’s the hospital’s warehouse, where they store equipment. There’s a plan to rebuild it recently, but construction hasn’t started yet,” Nishikino Mizuki suddenly looked nervous, realizing something. “Could the monster you’re talking about be there?”

"Well, who knows? But that place is definitely not right, there's something fishy about it," Mu Xiaoxiao stepped aside and gestured for them to enter. "We'll find out the answer once we go in, Mrs. Nishikino, let's go."

Nishikino Ruifei: "..."

To be honest, this beautiful lady with red hair and a beauty mark was uneasy and reluctant to step into such a dangerous place. She was also quite scared, but considering that it was her own hospital and that if the matter got out, it would cause an even more exaggerated impact, she had no choice but to go in and investigate herself.

Glancing at the boy's shoulders, which weren't broad but seemed mysterious and strangely reassuring, Nishikino Ruifei gritted her teeth and quietly moved closer to Mu Xiaoxiao. Only then did she suppress her fear and follow him into the dark and eerie warehouse.

The smell of disinfectant mixed with a strange musty odor in the warehouse, which was rather unpleasant. Nishikino Mizuki rarely came to places like this, and she covered her mouth and nose with her hand, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Does this place rarely get around? Why does it smell so musty?"

Nishikino Mizuki's face was grim, probably thinking of some slackers. "Maybe they're not guarding it much because it's going to be demolished soon. Those guys... Mu-kun, where are we going?"

It was already night, and the inside was pitch black. Even with the lights on, Nishikino Ruifei felt a sense of dread under the light. She moved closer to Mu Xiaoxiao, and her pale fingers quietly gripped the boy's robe.

At such close range, I could smell his pleasant scent.

Nishikino Maki couldn't help but twitch her nose. Only afterward did she realize that her actions were somewhat rash and ambiguous, so she quickly straightened her face and adopted the demeanor of a cold and aloof noblewoman.

Hmm, if you didn't see how tightly she was clutching the boy's clothes, you might have been fooled.

"Mrs. Nishikino, are you scared?" Even though it was Mu Xiaoxiao's first time here, she skillfully walked through the corridor to the elevator door. Relying on her super-intuitive instincts, she stepped into the eerie elevator and pressed the button to go to the second basement level.

"This is Nishikino Hospital, why would I be afraid?"

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of the elevator landing made the lady's voice tremble, almost causing her to lose her composure. Fortunately, she managed to hold back, forcibly suppressing her rapidly beating heartbeat, and gritted her teeth, "I know this kind of place better than you do."

"Is that right?"

bang-

The elevator has arrived.

creak-

Perhaps the elevator doors were a bit old, because the scraping sound was very clear. Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sinister smile. The moment the elevator doors opened, the lights inside suddenly flashed, and the married woman next to her immediately shrank behind Mu Xiaoxiao involuntarily.

"what----!"

The current Mrs. Nishikino completely lacked the elegance and composure of a noblewoman. She was just like an ordinary girl, experiencing fear and apprehension. Her timid and frightened appearance was actually quite cute. Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, her smile becoming even more comical. "Perhaps the light has been used for too long and is malfunctioning? Madam, are you alright?"

Nishikino Ruifei's exquisite and beautiful face was flushed red. She wanted to glare at him fiercely, but her eyes looked flustered and shy. Even Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "Madam, you are so cute."

"you--"

This little rascal!

She was so ashamed and furious, she was truly ashamed and furious. "I was just accidentally startled, which doesn't mean I'm scared... And what's with the cuteness? I'm not like Rena..."

Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to stop her from saying anything more, grabbed Xi Muye Ruifei's arm, and said solemnly, "Wait, something is about to come out!"

"You still want to fool me like this? I told you I wouldn't fall for it..."

boom--!

Bang-dang——!

The elevator shook violently with a loud noise. Mrs. Ruifei turned her head blankly and saw a scene behind the elevator door that made her scalp tingle. Strange tentacles crawled out from the gap and wriggled wildly, making her sanity drop drastically.

"What, what is that thing?!"

Although Mu Xiaoxiao had witnessed the terrifying side of Kawakami Tomie, the tentacles that appeared before her now were not only horrifying in appearance, but also carried an aura that could drive people to madness. Even Mu Xiaoxiao was a little uncomfortable with them, let alone Nishikino Mizuki, an ordinary person.

The beautiful and gentle noblewoman's chest heaved, her breathing gradually became erratic, and an unnatural paleness flashed across her face. It felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it almost suffocating her.
