Chapter 120 Is there something in the corner?
"Strange, where is this fragrance coming from..." Lorne wrinkled his nose.
"Miss, are you alright? Do you need me to take you home..."
"what……"
Before he could finish speaking, the girl tackled him to the ground, his head hitting the stone pavement hard, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Miss, please calm down..."
"We're still outside..."
The situation before him was beyond Lorne's expectations. Looking at the girl with a flushed face, Lorne tried to bring her back to her senses.
However, the girl remained unmoved and straddled Lorne's waist.
Feeling the softness on his body, Lorne felt a little lightheaded.
Are all girls at sea this unrestrained...? He thought to himself, making a sarcastic remark.
Although reason told him that something was wrong, his body was uncontrollably burning up.
"It wouldn't be bad if things continued like this..." This thought popped into Lorne's mind.
His consciousness was somewhat blurred.
"No, that's not right!"
Before his consciousness sank, Lorne suddenly became a little more alert, and a faint, almost imperceptible light appeared in his pupils.
But just then, crimson moonlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon the two of them.
--boom!
As if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, Lorne's spirit was suddenly awakened. He abruptly raised his hand and shoved the girl away violently.
"So close, so close..."
"I got completely absorbed in it," Lorne gasped for breath.
He quickly stood up, took out "Phantom" from his pocket, and pointed it at the other person.
Logically speaking, a "machine" should be calm and passive, but he was completely controlled by lust just now, which is definitely not normal.
Something had taken control of him, and he almost succumbed to his desires.
"How did I suddenly become so awake? Was it the moon?"
Lorne subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The crimson moon remained unchanged.
But unlike the previous chills, this time he actually felt a strange...warmth.
"Ugh..."
The girl's soft moan pulled Lorne back to her senses. She had already slowly gotten up.
Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?"
The girl didn't speak, but a sickly smile slowly spread across her face as she strode toward Lorne.
"Stop! Don't move!" Lorne hissed, pointing the gun directly at the girl's forehead.
She didn't stop moving; she continued forward step by step.
"Da...da...da."
Lorne's spiritual intuition screamed a warning, and some instinct shrieked in his mind—fire! Fire immediately!
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out in the silent alley, a black flame striking the girl precisely in the forehead. Her head snapped back, blood spurted out, her body swayed, and then she collapsed heavily to the ground.
Lorne was breathing heavily, his hand holding the gun trembling slightly.
"I never imagined that my first romantic encounter would be like this."
"Gurgle, gurgle"
Before Lorne could calm down, the girl's corpse twitched, and then countless tiny fleshy buds suddenly sprouted from the severed neck, growing and intertwining wildly like living tentacles.
"This is... a parasite?" Lorne's pupils contracted sharply, and a scene from a certain anime he had seen in his previous life flashed through his mind.
The little green snakes inside will burrow into a person's head, devour their brain, and eventually take over their entire head, controlling their body.
The monster looked exactly like the woman in front of them.
"Don't go..." the newly sprouted bud uttered in a cloying voice, its lips twisting into a grimace, "Let's... have some fun together..."
"How disgusting."
Lorne instinctively took a step back.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Black flames, spider silk, and black ice—three types of bullets hit in succession, the flames colliding with the frost and bursting into a dense mist.
"Is he dead?" Lorne activated his spiritual vision and scanned his surroundings.
A figure slowly stood up in the mist.
"He's still alive!"
The monster's vitality exceeded his expectations.
He infused his spirituality into the playing card he always carried. A somewhat crude shotgun appeared in his hand.
"Bang!"
The shotgun's impact was much greater, and the monster was knocked to the ground.
Without giving the monster time to react, Lorne pulled down the lever and immediately fired another shot.
"Bang! Bang!..."
"Now you're dead, aren't you?"
Seeing the monster lying on the ground, Lorne did not lower his guard, but instead took her pulse again.
He raised his gun to the corpse in front of him and emptied the magazine.
Shell casings with special patterns were scattered all over the ground.
……
Back at the hotel, Lorne's face was still pale.
"The psychic communication failed..."
"No extraordinary characteristics were extracted from his body."
"Not an ordinary extraordinary being, but merely a vessel."
Based on what he had learned previously, Lorne reviewed what had happened that night.
"Meow..." Laki rubbed against his hand worriedly.
It had just woken up from its sleep when it saw its owner looking haggard.
"I'm fine." Lorne ruffled the orange cat's head, giving a wry smile. "It's not good luck in love, it's bad luck in love..."
He clenched his fist and slammed it against the bed in frustration.
"This damn world, nowhere is safe!"
After a few seconds, Lorne calmed himself down and began to analyze the current situation.
"If tonight's events weren't an accident, was it premeditated?"
"I have no enemies in Bayam, except for 'Steel'..."
Lorne remembered a pirate he had offended because of Danitz.
He had obtained information about Edwina from her: he was an underling of "Blood General," a Sequence Six "Undead." And...
"There is an organization called the Rose School behind them."
"It's an organization that originated in the Southern Continent, and it's hostile to almost all extraordinary organizations, even the Aurora Society..."
Edwina's words echoed in Lorne's mind.
The Rose School? A secret organization, is it them?
Is "Iron" sending his cult accomplices to seek revenge because he himself is not in Bayam?
Thinking back to the cultists we initially drove away, it's quite possible they orchestrated the whole thing themselves.
"But isn't this method a bit crude, not sophisticated at all?"
"If it were seduction, one could have used gentle persuasion..."
"Was this just a test?"
"If that's the case, does that mean I've been targeted by some evil god again..." Lorne's tone was somewhat helpless.
"Damn it, why do all the other transmigrators either have cheat codes or harems?"
"I finally had a romantic encounter, but it turned out to be with a parasite."
"Tch, an evil god... he just wants to destroy the world, right?"
"Anyway, I don't have any ties to this world."
"This damn world, let's just destroy it," Lorne said in a fit of rage.
!!!
The moment he said those words, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Rachi!"
"Meow?"
"Was there something in the corner just now?!"
