New Century Warriors

Chapter 70 Booking the Next Date

This is the cheapest daily rental hotel.

Because the space in each room was compressed into a very narrow area, and it was a two-story building, there were hundreds of rooms in the row where Loya had been.

Almost every explorer who grew up in Hills has had the experience of settling here, and even now, a large number of newcomers live here.

Because they are newcomers, they are useless in the fight against evil and are not even cannon fodder. They are the most needed force to be evacuated from the city.

Once a large number of explorers have fled, it becomes much easier to intimidate ordinary people.

This is truly an excellent place to cast spells.

The doors were all locked from the inside, but how good could the doors be in such cheap hotel rooms? Lei Ye had learned some lock-picking techniques on Line 1, and he could easily open them with a simple wire.

Lei Ye was filled with great anticipation for this room, because it was next to Luo Ya's, and he wondered what kind of expert would be the person who could be Luo Ya's neighbor.

When the door opened, Lei Ye saw a young explorer resting, his body wrapped in bandages. Lei Ye quickly recognized him as the young man on the stretcher whom he had helped treat during the last time he stopped time.

He's recovering well. Although the bandages haven't been removed yet, he looks great. However, he looks very tired, and if he looks like this even when he's asleep, it means he's quite mentally exhausted.

The transition from a newcomer to a seasoned explorer is indeed difficult.

Along the way, Lei Ye thought of many ways to prank people, and prepared all the scenes of being scared to death by Wen Ziren back then. However, this face made him hesitate for a long time, and he finally gave up those evil little ideas and just pressed his handprint on the door.

When this guy wakes up and sees the bloody handprints on the door, he'll definitely pee his pants in fear.

Lei Ye reached out to close the door, then froze at the entrance.

He sighed again and turned around.

Looking around the old room, filled with the young man's meager possessions—cheap weapons and armor, a backpack stained with blood and yet to be cleaned—it's easy to imagine that the hardships he's endured extend beyond this single commission, and have been going on for quite some time.

Having finally managed to get a good night's sleep and recharge, how could Lei Ye, as a senior, bear to see him wake up terrified? So he wiped away the bloody words on the door again.

"What exactly are you doing?" Kerok couldn't help but ask, watching Raino's actions. "Bringing me to such a lousy inn, is there really something interesting going on? Or are you here to work? Well then, get started."

"Hey, targeted measures are more effective. If this won't work, let's find a miner."

Let's go to the next room.

Opening another door, the person inside looked somewhat familiar to Lei Ye; it was the female swordsman he had seen during the last time he stopped time.

Raino was slightly surprised, because he had set this place as his destination based on the idea that "a place like Loya would live," and the female swordsman had left a good impression on him, so he subconsciously did not associate this place with her.

On second thought, her teammates were right next door, so it made perfect sense that they would find her here.

At this moment, the female swordsman was sitting on the edge of the bed, barefoot, mending the pair of shoes she had worn that had broken.

Bare feet?

Lei Ye looked around and found the pair of shoes he had given her before neatly arranged in the corner, with the socks piled up inside; they had been washed.

Are you reluctant to wear it?

Just as Lei Ye was silently praising this diligent and reliable junior in his heart, he found a note stuffed in his sock. He picked it up and saw a line of crooked little writing on it.

(Thank you for saving my friend, you are a good person)

"Oh dear, oh... oh dear..."

Looking at the note, Lei Ye turned to the female swordsman, his words tumbling out incoherently. A thousand thoughts swirled in his mind, finally coalescing into a single sentence: "How did a normal person like you end up in Hillius?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lei Ye did nothing again and gently closed the door.

I can't bring myself to do it...

Damn it! If this place really was full of miners digging for minerals, then Raiye would have used his divine power to fight divine power. But the first two blind boxes he saw were filled with kind and simple juniors from the guild, which awakened Raiye's sense of justice.

Raino, Raino, didn't you already plan to get these juniors out of this city? It's just a scare tactic, nothing serious.

Besides, didn't you originally think of even worse methods but didn't use them? This is already quite mild.

Lei Ye silently took out a compressed pill-like object from his storage bag, seemingly lost in thought.

"Candy? Is it candy?!"

Keluoke, with his sharp eyes, was quite impolite. He snatched the item from Lei Ye's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it.

"...It's a prop I wanted to use to create something truly terrifying. I originally intended to secretly feed it to the local male explorers."

"Terrifying... What! Is this some kind of drug?! Ugh! Ugh!" Kerok immediately spat a few times, only to find that she had already swallowed it. She hugged herself, glaring angrily at Lei Ye as if he were a thief, "How dare you feed me something like this? What kind of wicked thoughts are you harboring, you little brother? Are you trying to harm me?"

"What do you mean by 'feeding you'? You took it yourself, didn't you? And it's not what you're thinking. The people in this city are my family and friends. How could I possibly use such a vile drug on them?" Lei Ye sighed. "It's just some estradiol."

"This name sounds like something bad, ugh, no wonder it doesn't taste good at all."

"No...you could eat some, though. It might make up for your lack of charm." As he said this, Raino secretly glanced at Rock's chest, lost in thought.

This stuff was left over from the bag containing the strange little potion that Ye Lei left him. Lei Ye was really not good at using it, so he didn't mind sharing some with others. He just didn't know if it would really work.

"What's with that rude look you're giving me? Where are you looking? Are you dissatisfied with my body?!"

"Did you deliberately make your body so petite? Is it some kind of strategy to prevent enemies on your side from feeling hostile towards you, even if they're standing right next to you?"

"You really are thinking very rude things! You know we're all filthy, and I can't control what my physical form looks like. What can I do about it?"

"Huh?"

Is that so?

Lei Ye thought of Ye Lei again. At first, Lei Ye thought that her cute appearance was her original form. Later, he briefly suspected that she might be an anglerfish monster. Later, he learned that she was a giant octopus and saw her dark purple shadow-like true form.

To this day, her image is fixed in Raino's mind, but her wicked nature remains a mystery to Raino.

"What...are we exactly?" Raino asked cautiously, pondering this question.

"What kind of question is this? Kermione, have you been playing the human for too long and gone mad with yourself? No wonder I find you so indecisive when you take action. We are who we are, the avengers who have crossed the river. Whatever revenge we take against the humans in this world, they deserve it. Remember that."

Kerro's delicate face tightened instantly, and her tone became slightly gloomy.

Working with her was indeed very useful; there was a lot of information in her words, but it wasn't very straightforward. It was like fragmented information in a dream world that needed to be deciphered by oneself.

Keywords: Avengers.

What are we seeking revenge for?

Keywords: This world.

And where do you come from?

Lei Ye thought for a while and decided to risk being exposed by asking a few more questions. But while he was deep in thought, Keluoke had already opened the door he had just closed and strode in.

He stepped forward, reached behind her, and bounced the female swordsman's chest, letting out a pleasant exclamation.

"Oh my~ Is this what it feels like to have a big nipples? No wonder so many people like it, what's with this delightful feeling of happiness?"

"What are you doing, jailer!"

"Didn't I already say that I was always very careful when I activated my abilities before, worried about being exposed, and almost never had any physical contact with anyone? But since this time I've already caused trouble, I might as well go all out."

After bouncing around a bit, Kroc even started to push her luck, reaching inside her clothes to rub and grope, making a silvery "oh ho ho" laugh that was really unlike someone of her appearance.

"...Are you a lesbian?"

"No, I was just curious about the feel of your breasts. In fact, I haven't felt this skin-to-skin contact in a long time. Ah... so warm."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lei Ye and said, "What, is it not allowed? I've done so many dirty and tiring jobs, can't I enjoy myself?"

""

"You yourself..."

Lei Ye subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't have it himself, but then he realized that he really didn't.

"Cermilyne, your abilities are more enjoyable. You get to experience all sorts of interesting things every day, and you can do whatever you want with other people's bodies. Tell me, don't you often play around with other people's wives?"

I won't tell you.

As he spoke, Lei Ye took two steps forward and pulled Keluoke's hand away.

To be honest, when Raino discovered that the user of the time-stop ability was such a little girl, he felt a slight sense of relief.

In the state of time stop, one can unleash the beast within, something Lei Ye has personally experienced. Therefore, he was worried about how he would protect the citizens of Hillius from her if she turned out to be a lecher.

Moreover, Lei Ye had to admit that he also wanted to continue releasing beasts, bigger and more evil beasts. This kind of environment was incredibly erotic. Not only could he enjoy it as a time-stop state, but he could also activate his demon brain to pretend that this was an unresisting NPC world where he could happily be a superhero.

But my conscience won't let me get over it...

Judging from the note in the corner, she's a good girl. If she found out that the time-stopping initiator, whom she thought was a good person, was playing with her body, she might cry.

Raino couldn't bring himself to make a girl like that cry.

"Let's... go somewhere else," Raino said with a sigh after thinking for a moment.

It can only be said that the people here are lucky. The first two blind boxes directly disrupted Lei Ye's plans. He still sincerely hoped that these grassroots adventurers who were unable to protect themselves could leave this dangerous city, but it was indeed not possible to do it this way.

Next, just take Kroc out for a walk, continue to build a closer relationship, and unlock more information.

Having made up his mind, Lei Ye bent down and squatted down, sticking his butt out towards Keluoke, gesturing for her to come up.

Kerok looked like he had something to say, but he touched his lips and didn't say anything, instead silently climbing onto Raino's back.

This time, Raiye's destination was the guild. Although it was no longer interesting due to the time-stop state, just like other places, it was still the most lively place, so it was the perfect place to have some fun.

However, after walking for about two or three minutes, Keluoke suddenly pulled away from Lei Ye's hand and jumped off his back.

"I've finally figured out what you're up to."

97

"

...Um?"

Lei Ye was still pondering what kind of work to do later and how to get information out of her. What did this mean?

"Kemiren, you said before that you had to disguise yourself as all sorts of people because of the mission, even imitating the details of their lives, right?"

"right."

"Then wouldn't you be Master Zuo Ai?!"

"what?"

Lei Ye was taken aback, pointed to himself, and asked, "Me? What did you call me?"

"Since everyone else, being so wicked, has no chance to experience such a thing, yet you've done it for over a hundred years, of course you're a master!"

"Oh? Oh...yes, that's right."

"So what does that feel like? Is it pleasurable?"

"Was it...was it good? Hey, why are you suddenly asking me that?"

"What do you think?" Kerok hugged her again, but this time she hugged her tighter than before. "You really did have your eye on me. You pretended to take me out to play, but then you left as soon as you got to a place. You just wanted to carry me around everywhere... Why do you keep holding my thigh?"

Injustice!

It's because she's too thin and small.

"Don't think that just because I crave physical contact, you can seduce me with your broad and warm back. Although it is indeed very comfortable to lie on it, it is useless to me. Also, your body muscles are indeed very beautiful, but ask yourself, is that your own body? Using someone else's body to seduce people is too careless."

What is this person muttering in gibberish?

Raino crashed on the spot.

After a moment's thought—

Miss Kerroc is very resistant to acting when time is not stopped.

According to her, the reason they bumped into each other at the general store was so that she could find herself faster.

However, in the time-stopped state, she is very afraid of physical contact.

In her own words, it was to avoid being exposed.

Considering her behavior throughout the journey, and these words—

"Could it be... that you've been hiding away all this time when you're not using your abilities, and then doing all the work by yourself after you activate them, and that's been going on for hundreds of years?"

"What's wrong...? Is it not okay?"

Good heavens.

It's like the feeling of being completely alone in a world where you've turned down all your friends' game invitations, decided to play a game all night, only to find the website was blocked and you had to give up. When you log back in, all your friends have already started playing with other people.

This little thing has always lived in this kind of world.

It's no wonder she was quite forgiving of her previous less-than-polite attitude; in a sense, Kermir, who could move within the time stop, was her only companion.

How miserable.

They are clearly enemies, clearly the scourge of the opposing camp.

Lei Ye couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

A little bit...

"To be honest, now that I know you're a man, I'm a little unsure how to get along with you."

"You did that to me on purpose, didn't you? That's not right..."

"I'm not particularly against you carrying me, because it's warm, it's just a little strange."

"Want to play together?" So he reached out his hand to Kerroque, interrupting her muttering to herself.

It's true that I want information, and it's also true that I want to play with the little one. Since I can do both things at the same time, why not?

Without much hesitation, or rather, as if his body moved before he even thought, he placed his hand on Raino's hand with a snap.

"We still need it."

Then, realizing what he had done and said, he turned his head away.

""

Row.

Lei Ye stood up, grabbed her hand, and prepared to take her to the guild.

Just then, she suddenly screamed.

"But! That's all for today. I need to go back and pack my things. I'll come back another day. We have plenty of time, so there's no rush."

"...You'll be going back via this same road."

No.

A slight vibration appeared in the air.

At this moment, Lei Ye felt something similar to what Luo Ya had felt when her hand was broken. The light dimmed slightly, and before Lei Ye's eyes, Kerok quickly transformed into a dark figure, very similar to Ye Lei's original form. However, although she was smaller, she had a more glamorous feel. Unlike Ye Lei, she did not have small tentacles or facial features that could move on her body. Instead, she was based on a shadow and felt more human.

After transforming, Kerok didn't want to fight. She turned and ran, then suddenly jumped and disappeared into a black hole that appeared out of nowhere.

After jumping in, she turned around and poked her head out, using...

"I'll come to visit you again tomorrow night."

With another pull, the hole and the person disappeared.

The oppressive feeling and the absolute silence brought by the time stop also disappeared. When the time stop ended, Raino stood on the street. The people next to him were so frightened by Raino suddenly standing on the street that they screamed.

Lei Ye glanced at the remaining red beast blood mark on his hand, stared blankly for a long time, and then let out a sigh.

"What...?"
