Chen Shi looked at Elena's hand suspended in mid-air.
He didn't move.
The intel was tempting.
But having just been played by this slut.
He felt annoyed.
Crossing his arms.
He raised a brow.
"Alliance? Fine."
"But get this straight."
"I'm a rookie. Zero experience."
"You cleared a game."
"You ignored the elites."
"But you chased me..."
He dragged out the word.
Looking her up and down.
A wicked grin appeared.
"You want something from me."
"Be honest."
"Are you just thirsty for my body?"
The Dragon Country stream buzzed.
[Holy shit, nice counter!]
[Threw it right back!]
[That's how you do it! Don't let her dominate!]
[But isn't Brother Chen playing too big?]
[She is a veteran. What if she gets pissed and leaves?]
The next second.
Elena wasn't angry.
She looked him over.
She lowered her head.
Covering her lips.
She looked shy.
The ice melted.
Terrifyingly seductive.
"Mmm... maybe."
She blinked.
Her voice turned sugary sweet.
"If we survive..."
"Do whatever you want to me."
"Any hole. Any position."
Chen Shi was stunned.
She has no shame!
But he knew priorities.
Intel was life.
Chen Shi coughed.
He shook her hand.
"Fine. Alliance."
When their hands touched.
Elena trembled.
Pressing against him.
She looked up.
Eyes hooking him.
"About what you said..."
"Do you want a piece of this?"
Chen Shi looked at her face.
He felt the heat.
Just then.
A crisis alarm rang in his brain.
Wait!
He reacted.
Because he carried a breeding system.
He had missions for two ghost bosses!
If they found out he was flirting with a human.
Two-timing...
Cheating on ghosts.
That was a death sentence!
So Chen Shi shuddered.
He yanked his hand back.
He shouted righteously.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"I only like female ghosts!"
"Don't get the wrong idea!"
Elena froze.
Maintaining the pose.
Staring at him.
Then.
She remembered the church.
His enjoyment of the ghost spit.
And his pants.
Elena nodded.
Muttering.
"So that's it."
"That makes sense."
"You're a monster-fucker."
Done.
The shyness vanished.
Bitch face returned.
"Let's go. Talk on the way."
She turned.
Voice flat.
The Dragon Country stream was dumbfounded.
[What the...]
[This conversation scale. This face change.]
[Am I watching a horror stream?]
[Elena's acting is god-tier.]
[Slut one second. Dead fish the next.]
[Wait. Am I the only one who cares about Brother Chen's statement?]
[Only interested in female ghosts?!]
[Holy shit, that kink is hardcore!]
[If the nun hears this, she'll give him a medal!]
In the fog.
They walked toward the cafeteria.
"Scaring you. Acting like a slut. Those were tests."
Elena spoke.
"I studied games. Cleared one."
"Monsters share logic."
"Like 'Mimics'."
Chen Shi frowned.
"Mimics?"
"Yes. They copy looks, voices, memories."
Elena's tone cooled.
"They watch. They learn."
"And once they learn enough, they replace the host."
"So your bunkmate."
"Might not be human by morning."
The fog felt colder.
"But early on, they have a fatal weakness."
Elena said.
"They lack emotion."
"No fear. No disgust."
"And they can't grasp complex human context."
"Like humor. Or dirty talk."
She glanced at him.
"So, to make myself impossible to replace."
"I trained myself to act like a nympho. To be crazy."
"Because a stiff Mimic can't copy that kind of contrast."
Chen Shi raised a brow.
Turning yourself into a pervert for security?
Terrifying logic.
He chuckled.
"Good intel."
"Since we both act like psychos."
"Those dirty things can't copy us."
Elena continued.
"A Mimic's goal is to replace a host and kill."
"So they are bound by a core logic."
"They must find ways to actively contact humans."
"But when you turned to leave without hesitation."
"I knew you were human."
"Because a Mimic would never give up a chance to make contact."
Chen Shi sighed.
She was wild. But smart.
Sanity was good here.
Trust established.
Panic filled the stream.
[Goosebumps.]
[Mimics here?!]
[Think fast!]
[The rule: 'Ensure your roommate is your roommate'!]
[It connects. Guard against Mimics!]
[Elena's last game.]
[Mimics became more human later.]
[They couldn't find them all.]
[Lucky it ended in 14 days.]
[Don't scare me.]
[This is 30 days!]
[Mimics are tough.]
[What about the S-rank anomalies?]
[How do we play this?]
Despair.
In the manor.
Chen Shi looked at Elena.
"Mimics here?"
Elena nodded.
"Likely."
Chen Shi pondered.
"Why team up? Cut the crap."
Elena met his gaze.
"Intuition."
"I gained intuition."
"Right choices feel good."
"But wrong ones hurt."
She blushed.
Biting her lip.
Staring at him.
"When you agreed..."
Chen Shi frowned.
"What?"
Elena:
"I came."
Chen Shi froze.
Brain crashed.
The stream chaotic.
[??????]
[Holy shit!]
[Goddamn superpower!]
[What kind of intuition is this?!]
[She isn't acting. She's a genuine pervert!]
[Did Brother Chen agree?]
[Or press a button?!]
[Orgasming just by teaming up?]
[This car is too fast!]
[Brother Chen guarded against the ghost. Failed against the nympho!]
Chen Shi inhaled.
Ignoring his twitching eye.
Ignoring the pervert.
They walked faster.
Soon.
A massive building appeared.
Rusty sign: [Manor Cafeteria].
At the door.
Elena whispered.
"Remember the rules?"
Chen Shi nodded.
"Ten minutes."
"While eating."
"Ignore the windows."
He stared at the door.
Muttering.
"What's outside?"
Elena narrowed her eyes.
"We'll see."
Creak.
The doors opened.
