Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Hey hey hey!! I was just kidding, and you actually believed me? You have no sense of humor at all. Miss waitress, could you please give me a slice of lemon pie?"

The lemon pie was served, and Wu Ji ate it while continuing his conversation in a casual tone.

"How would I know you were using it too? Because you're famous. Only 0.03% of users choose Rank A for their initial mission and succeed. Your success was already quite remarkable. Plus, you encountered an extremely rare mission involving a soul-transmigrated character from a parallel world. Overnight, you went from an outstanding newcomer to everyone's laughing stock."

Bai Weiran: ...Listen to me, thank you.

“It’s not just users who are discussing you, even the platform’s customer service staff are talking about you. I first heard about you through my customer service representative.”

"...Is your customer service representative a mistress?"

"No, my customer service representative is Gaga. She's very gentle and loves to gossip and chat. When I heard your username—Holy crap, isn't that my username, Bai Shao? You're just using the name Bai Weiran, right?"

Bai Weiran: …………

He is indeed lazy, and he only uses two common online names: 【Bai Weiran】 or 【Weiran Ruhai】.

When new users log in to the app, they need to fill in a nickname. Since someone had already used "Weiran Ruhai", he used "Bai Weiran", which is very similar to his real name.

No wonder Wu Ji could identify Bai Weiran at a glance.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: On the Path to Raising a Rebellious Daughter

"As for your third question—how I knew about your mission target—it was actually something Gaga accidentally let slip during a chat with me."

"She felt it was unfair that you failed the mission, but at the same time admired you for being a tough guy, using up so many points without even blinking, only to lose them all in one fell swoop. And she told me—"

Wu Ji lowered his voice and moved closer, making sure only Bai Weiran could hear him clearly.

"...That's about all I know."

To be honest, Wu Ji didn't know the truth behind Yu Mengmeng's abduction either. He could only get a general idea from his close customer service friends and ask them indirectly.

There are all kinds of people and all kinds of ideas in this world.

Some people are dedicated to helping rescue yandere girls from the harmful influence of scumbag men's PUA tactics and help them become independent.

Some people enjoy being worshipped by the intense emotions and boundless devotion of a yandere.

This organization kidnaps yandere girls to experiment with how to transfer these intense yandere emotions to another person through scientific or psychological means, thereby achieving the goal of controlling yanderes.

The existence of such organizations is like a virus specifically designed to combat apps. Platforms naturally have a headache and send out professional personnel to eliminate them. However, these organizations are cunning, moving between different worlds and having multiple strongholds.

Xia Yanle's world hides a stronghold.

“Although the chances are slim, it’s very likely that the person you were kidnapped from is in this world. Even if she’s not at her base in this mission world, you should be able to find some clues,” Wu Ji concluded confidently.

Bai Weiran: …………

"The conclusion is good, but it doesn't seem to be of much use now."

"...?"

Bai Weiran whispered a few words, and the next second Wu Ji's pupils dilated in shock.

"What? The person is already here? And it was Sister Shimo who found her."

"They escaped on their own, but ended up in our world? That's strange. There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of parallel worlds. How could they be so precisely projected into this world?" Wu Ji stroked his chin, instantly switching to work mode.

“I can think of one possibility: the time when Shimo found her and when you accepted the new mission overlapped quite a bit. I suspect that she came here through the exclusive passage that you were supposed to use to go to that world. User path records show that, however, for this method, she would have to have used your exclusive passage to be considered a user and allowed to pass.”

Bai Weiran: …………

That makes sense; Yu Mengmeng did indeed use it.

Wu Ji put his hands behind his head, looked up and sighed deeply.

"You rescued her so quickly? What am I supposed to do? I have something I want to ask of you, Young Master Bai. I was thinking of using this girl's situation to do you a favor—I'd help you rescue her, and then I'd ask you to help me in return!"

Bai Weiran was not surprised to hear this, as Wu Ji was a person who always returned what he borrowed.

I don't want to use the phrase "Brothers for life" to emotionally blackmail or exploit people for help.

When he wants help from others, he will first think about helping others.

I am that kind of person too, which is why the two of us can get along so well.

"I still need your help with her matter," Bai Weiran said.

He couldn't let Yu Mengmeng go back until the problem of that bizarre experimental organization was resolved, and Wu Ji's help was indispensable.

Tell me what you need my help with.

Wu Ji sat up straight, his relaxed expression vanishing, replaced by a rare seriousness.

"I need your help to enter a specific task, but the purpose is not to complete the task—I need to find someone."

Wu Ji stroked his earring, his expression indifferent.

"Find someone who is connected to Honglian."

Bai Weiran pushed open the door. The house was quiet. A small lamp was on in the living room. He immediately saw Yu Mengmeng lying on the floor in front of the TV, fast asleep with a game controller in her arms. The screen was flashing a big "Victory" sign. She was obviously tired from playing games and just fell asleep on the spot.

Yu Mengmeng's skin was very fair, but it looked unhealthy and sickly. She had lost a lot of weight since the last time Bai Weiran saw her. Bai Weiran squatted down next to her and watched for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It feels like I finally managed to fatten up my little mushroom a bit, but after a few days, it's become as thin as an enoki mushroom again.

Without waking her, he went into the bedroom, grabbed a thin blanket, and wrapped Yu Mengmeng up tightly, like a little pupa, before carrying her back to bed.

After returning to the living room to tidy up and turning off the game console, he opened the refrigerator and was surprised to find that Yu Mengmeng had taken out a bowl of the lamb pilaf he had ordered for her dinner, sealed it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator, obviously specially reserved for him.

Bai Weiran was surprised and somewhat touched.

The Yu Mengmeng he remembered was not like this; she was quite willful, would eat whatever she wanted, and didn't like to clean up afterward, just rolling around on the bed and leaving everything messy.

Today, she actually took the initiative to pack up the takeout containers and remembered to save some food for them.

The little girl was very stubborn and didn't know how to speak in a pleasing way, but she always tried to please others in small, humble, and weak ways.

She wanted to stay—

Bai Weiran had actually eaten dinner with Wu Ji, but he still chose to reheat the mutton pilaf and eat it as a late-night snack.

Then he went into the bedroom to check on Yu Mengmeng, who was fast asleep.

As the weather got cooler, she stopped sleeping with her belly exposed, which was incredibly unsightly. Instead, she pulled the blanket tighter, covering herself from head to toe, like a small, cooked shrimp hiding in its shell, with only half of her face and a few strands of snow-white hair showing outside the blanket.

Bai Weiran sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted her head through the blanket.

He wasn't surprised that Mengmeng chose to defend Su Cheng in front of the police after the fall.

Because Mengmeng's feelings for Su Cheng are complex.

A yandere-like, innocent romance is mixed with the affection for the gentle older brother from her memories.

Even after she came to know Su Cheng's true nature, her romantic feelings faded, and she recovered from her yandere and dark state, she still harbored familial affection and longing for Su Cheng. Even if her brother was a scumbag, once you stopped having romantic feelings for him, his scumbag nature didn't seem to constitute a reason for your hatred of him.

Living under the same roof for many years, people's emotions are inherently complex and cannot be completely severed with a single stroke.

As a younger sister, even after witnessing her brother's ugly side, she still wanted to protect him.

Because Mengmeng is inherently kind.

Because of her illness, she has been cared for and protected by her family at home for many years, which has made her even more dependent on them.

This adorable girl said she didn't want to go home.

Often, when faced with emotions, kind people don't react with revenge, but rather with keeping their distance.

Because of my kindness, I can't bring myself to turn my back on someone.

Bai Weiran lowered her eyelashes and withdrew her hand.

…………

Yu Mengmeng woke up in the middle of the night.

She rubbed her eyes for a while before realizing she was in bed.

She turned around and peeked out, seeing Bai Weiran sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor.

The features of his face were hidden in the darkness of the room, yet they remained soft and did not inspire any fear.

The little girl, wrapped in the blanket, tiptoed off the bed and lay down next to Bai Weiran—but not close, just curled up a meter away from him, watching the profile of his reclining face.

"Bai Weiran," she called softly.

The name felt familiar, reassuring, and pleasant to her.

Even in his sleep, Bai Weiran subconsciously responded when he heard his own name.

"Ok?"

Yu Mengmeng smiled. She moved slightly, placing her head under Bai Weiran's hand, which was naturally beside her. She nuzzled his hand with her little head. Her white hair felt smooth to the touch, and Bai Weiran subconsciously patted it gently.

Yu Mengmeng closed her eyes happily.

She had a dream where there were endless crabs and games, and Bai Weiran praised her from the side.

"Mengmeng, you're such a gaming prodigy!"

Bai Weiran also had a dream. In the dream, Mengmeng became a complete shut-in girl because she loved playing games all day, craved crabs, and didn't study. In the end, she couldn't integrate into the group and was marginalized and eliminated by society.

So in his dream, he grabbed Yu Mengmeng and whipped her with a small leather whip to urge her to read.

"Repeat after me!! I will stop breathing and playing games until I get into Tsinghua or Peking University!!"

Xx

Let me explain to you guys: Mengmeng can no longer be said to like Su Cheng. From the moment she started to act like a normal little sister, it was a sign that her "darkened romance" was over. But her feelings for Bai Weiran now aren't romantic love; they're more like respect and admiration for a mature and sensible older brother.

Mengmeng's mission was interrupted by an accident. After the fall, her romantic feelings for Su Cheng were severed and became ordinary familial affection. However, because Bai Weiran left, her respect and love for him had not yet transformed into romantic love.

Now, completely disillusioned with Su Cheng, even the slightest bit of familial affection is gone. Having arrived in the modern world, her next chapter is a sweet daily life spent with Wei Ran, a love that gradually transforms into something more.

What follows will be—

Wei Ran: I raised you like a daughter, and you treat me like...? ?? Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter!! ノ)?Д?(
