Chapter 019: Spare Me!

Time resumed its flow.

The shower Lin Ye turned on sprayed out a blackish-red liquid.

Taisuke Sawanaga was drenched from head to toe.

"Kuroda, I can't hold back anymore…"

"I need you to…"

Before he could finish yelling, a burst of liquid sprayed directly onto his face, soaking him.

A moment of shock overtook him, but as soon as he laid eyes on Kuroda Hikari, his desire reignited. Struggling, he tried to rush toward her again.

But Lin Ye didn't hesitate, delivering a heavy kick that sent Taisuke crashing to the ground.

That wasn't enough Lin Ye added several more kicks for good measure.

"Look at me," Lin Ye raised his voice. In his eyes, Taisuke is appearance had already changed.

"You… Lin… Monster…"

Fear seemed to suppress Taisuke's impulses. Panicking, he scrambled backward, trying to get away.

"Kuroda-san, do you notice anything unusual about the two of us?"

Kuroda Hikari, still dazed by the sudden turn of events, looked at Lin Ye. But once her eyes landed on him, she couldn't look away. Her rationality crumbled entirely as if Lin Ye had transformed into the most alluring existence imaginable.

She lunged toward him.

"I want…"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ye realized the problem. Swiftly, he turned to the side and pinned Kuroda Hikari against the wall with one hand.

She wasn't tall or strong, but her body was surprisingly soft.

"Kuroda-san, what do you see on my face?"

Despite her attempts to resist and break free, Hikari's eyes burned with rising desire.

Finally,

Lin Ye dragged her under the stream of blackish-red liquid from the shower.

In just a few seconds,

Kuroda Hikari stopped struggling. Her emotions gradually returned to normal, and Taisuke's wild excitement also faded quickly.

But in the next moment,

When Kuroda Hikari glanced at Taisuke, her pupils immediately contracted.

"Ahhhhhh!"

A piercing scream of terror echoed through the room.

Lin Ye stepped closer and forcefully covered her mouth with his right hand.

Hikari thrashed about, trying to pry his hand away with her own.

"Taisuke… Taisuke-san… he… he mutated."

"And what about me?"

"Huh?"

What's wrong with you?

Hikari glanced up, and the black-and-gray blotches on Lin Ye's face came into full view. The bizarre, infected appearance made her eyes widen in shock. Her body trembled violently, and in the next instant, she fainted.

Kuroda Hikari had passed out from fright.

Holding her in his arms, Lin Ye felt an awkward sense of unease.

"L-Lin… Lin-bro, please, please don't eat me,"

"I'm not tasty. I swear, don't eat me…"

Taisuke trembled, retreating constantly, his eyes filled with sheer terror. But by now, he had nowhere left to run.

At that moment, Hoshino Ai entered the room, appearing in the doorway of the bathroom. The sight of her made Taisuke nearly burst into tears.

Another one infected!

"Spare me! I swear… I'm really not tasty,"

"Answer my question," Lin Ye demanded.

"Y-yes, anything… Lin Ye, please…"

"What do we look like to you?"

"G-good people…"

Lin Ye immediately walked over and delivered another kick.

"Ahhh…"

"What do we look like right now?"

"N-nothing…"

Taisuke shook his head vigorously, but when Lin Ye raised his foot again, preparing to kick, he quickly blurted out,

"Your faces… black and gray patches… like the staff member in the lobby…"

He stammered out his response.

Lin Ye realized his suspicions were correct.

"Go to Room 304."

"Open the door, it's me, Lin Ye."

He figured Room 304 might be...

With a loud clang, hurried footsteps sounded inside the room, and soon the door opened.

Miho Kamimura appeared before Lin Ye.

At that moment, she was dressed only in lingerie, with much of her skin exposed to the air, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance.

"Brother Lin, do you need something?"

"Where's Tanaka?"

"He's resting. Come in and take a look!"

Something was off.

Absolutely off.

From every perspective, Lin Ye felt there was something wrong with Miho Kamimura.

From his current view, Miho Kamimura showed no signs of mutation she appeared completely normal. But that was precisely the most abnormal part.

A non-mutated Miho Kamimura should, like Kuroda Hikari and Taisuke Sawanaga, be overwhelmed with uncontrollable desire, not exhibiting no reaction at all.

"Brother Lin, what brings you here to find us..."

Tanaka Ichiro also appeared in Lin Ye's line of sight.

He waved with a sly grin.

"Miho is quite good. Want to give it a try? If it's you, Brother Lin, it's no problem at all. I'm getting old my heart's willing, but my body's not so much."

"Oh, stop it!"

A coy and bashful tone accompanied the response.

Lin Ye suddenly thought of something. Just as he lifted his foot to step inside and investigate further, an intense sense of danger surged up within him.

Immediately, he activated [Time Stop], plunging everything into an absolute state of stasis.

Only then did Lin Ye step inside.

He scanned the room from the walls to the large bed, and just as he was preparing to drag the pair to the bathroom to spray them with water, Lin Ye abruptly stopped and looked toward the TV.

The reflections on the TV screen were unnervingly vivid.

Dark gray blotches of varying sizes covered their entire bodies. Their eyes were pitch black, void of life, and faint black shadows seemed to claw outward with wild aggression.

This was far more visually striking than the female staff member on the first floor.

These two had already fully transformed into something eerie.

They were beyond saving.
