The buttons on Ruan Qing’s coat were all cut off, and it hung loosely on him, revealing the yellow T-shirt he was originally wearing.
Taking advantage of the nearby lights and moonlight, Ji Yan could clearly see the girl’s delicate features, with long eyelashes fluttering like feathers. The shadows cast on her eyes looked incredibly beautiful.
She appeared exceptionally obedient, making one unable to resist the temptation.
Ji Yan chuckled softly. “Don’t move. My knife is very sharp. I would be heartbroken if I accidentally hurt you.”
Ruan Qing was probably too frightened, standing stiffly even without the man warning him, not daring to move at all. He looked pitiful.
However, it didn’t evoke any sympathy from Ji Yan. Instead, it made him even more audacious as he used his knife to open the obstructing coat, slowly tearing through the T-shirt.
The knife was exceptionally sharp, and even with little force, it could easily cut through the T-shirt.
It’s unclear whether the man did it intentionally, but as the knife cut through Ruan Qing’s T-shirt, it accidentally brushed against his skin.
It didn’t cut his skin, but the cold sensation made Ruan Qing tremble slightly. However, he didn’t dare to struggle or resist, afraid that the man would cut his skin and sever his throat.
His face could only become pale, tightly clenching his fingers, unable to speak or show anger, silently enduring it all.
Ji Yan quite liked the weak and helpless posture of the girl, as if she obediently allowed him to do as he pleased, as if he had control over everything.
Although Ji Yan’s movements seemed slow, in the blink of an eye, Ruan Qing’s T-shirt was mostly torn apart.
Ji Yan didn’t directly cut all the way through. When it was about halfway, he stopped and used the knife to gently pick at the T-shirt.
As the fabric was slowly picked apart by the tip of the knife, the fair and smooth skin appeared faintly under the moonlight. The delicate and enticing neck, as well as the exquisite collarbones, were as pure as jade.
Perhaps due to nervousness, embarrassment, and recent physical exertion, the chest rose and fell with each breath, and the fair skin took on a rosy hue, making the person look stunningly beautiful.
Ji Yan’s breath hitched at the sight of the exposed skin. His hand holding the knife paused for a moment before he snapped out of his daze and continued gently opening the clothing.
The fair and radiant skin was adorned with a touch of pink, incredibly vibrant. The fair skin even had a beautiful blush from being exposed to the air.
Ji Yan stared blankly at the scenery before him and hesitantly spoke, “It’s really flat...”
Ruan Qing: “...”
Just as Ji Yan was about to put down the knife, preparing to go even further, a sudden “click!” came from the entrance of the alley behind them, accompanied by hurried and chaotic footsteps that sounded piercing in the silent alley.
Upon hearing the sound, Ji Yan swiftly wrapped his arm around the girl’s waist and pulled her towards him, tightening his grip around her waist. The two of them were practically pressed tightly together.
The other’s tall figure completely obscured Ruan Qing’s figure, except for his head, which was barely visible.
Ji Yan coldly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.
Several people at the entrance of the alley were somewhat stunned, seemingly surprised by the scene they encountered.
As soon as they entered the alley, they saw a man pinning a girl against the wall, holding a knife as if he intended to do something inappropriate.
Because they had just run in from the brightly lit street, they hadn’t fully adjusted to the darkness yet and couldn’t see clearly.
However, even without a clear view, they could guess the situation just by the scene before them.
“Sorry for the interruption. We’ll leave immediately.”
One of them sensed the unfavorable situation and didn’t want any trouble, so he gave the others a meaningful glance.
The others immediately understood his intention, and no longer looked at the two individuals. It was as if they hadn’t seen that the girl was being coerced by the man. They lowered their heads and quickly walked towards the depths of the alley, as if someone were chasing them from behind.
Ji Yan sneered, and with a firm throw of his hand holding the knife, the blade instantly slipped from his grasp and flew towards the person at the front.
In the darkness, it was almost impossible to see clearly.
“Be careful!”
One of the individuals, a woman, with sharp eyesight, spotted the glint of a knife and her eyes immediately widened, alerting the person at the front.
Upon hearing the warning, the person at the front instinctively rolled on the ground in the nick of time, narrowly avoiding the blade that would have pierced the back of his head.
The knife struck empty air and plunged straight into the wall next to him.
The man looked up at the blade, which had penetrated almost a third of the way into the wall, and struggled to swallow his saliva.
If that force had struck his head, it would have undoubtedly pierced his brain directly.
Ji Yan, holding Ruan Qing in his arms, toyed with a knife identical to the one he just threw, and spoke in a casual tone, “Did I allow you to go?”
No one could see how another knife appeared in Ji Yan’s hand, including Ruan Qing, who was being held by him.
If it weren’t for the fact that the knife he just threw was still stuck in the wall, they would have thought it was an illusion.
The faces of those few people turned extremely grim. They probably hadn’t anticipated that even walking through a small alley would pose a life-threatening danger.
They exchanged glances, and just as one of them was about to say something, Ji Yan acted again.
He carefully adjusted the coat of the person in his arms and even tried to button it up.
Unfortunately, the button had already been broken by him with the knife, and he was only wearing a shirt, so he could only pull Ruan Qing’s coat again.
After ensuring that no one could see anything, he released Ruan Qing and gently touched his face. “Be good and wait for me. If I find out you’ve run away, I’ll be angry.”
Ji Yan’s tone was light, but the underlying dominance couldn’t be ignored, making it clear that he wasn’t making an empty threat.
And the consequences of angering him were definitely something Ruan Qing didn’t want to witness.
After finishing speaking, Ji Yan held the knife and calmly walked towards the group of people.
It was as if there were no constraints of law in this world, where one could kill at will without any consequences.
Perhaps that was indeed the case, considering that even murder could be livestreamed.
There was no semblance of order, only the whims of individuals.
The original host’s memory was not like this. This world had laws, but it seemed like nobody knew about the terrifying livestream room or the fact that there were people who wanted to kill others without any scruples.
It’s as if someone had covered it all up, wiping out all illegal existence.
Seeing this, those few individuals didn’t want to be enemies with Ji Yan, but Ji Yan didn’t give them a chance to leave.
They could only exchange glances and launch an attack on Ji Yan together.
Not everyone among them could fight; only three or four of them were capable, while the others could barely defend themselves.
Among them, two individuals were indeed skilled. Even though they were temporarily holding their own against Ji Yan’s assault, Ruan Qing knew it wouldn’t last. As time went on, Ji Yan would definitely be able to kill those few individuals because they only had a temporary numerical advantage.
Nevertheless, it was just a forced appearance of hostility against Ji Yan.
Ji Yan, just like Jiang Sinian, showed extreme indifference towards life. He was a pure madman, with no flashy moves but lethal strikes, as if he was born to kill.
The individuals attacking Ji Yan gradually showed signs of defeat, their clothes stained red with blood. If they continued, they would undoubtedly die in this dark alley.
The woman who had previously spoken up to warn people didn’t join the fight. Her companion next to her probably gave her the knife from the wall since she didn’t have a weapon.
However, she seemed to lack the courage to rush in and help.
She held the knife in front of her, trembling, unable to even hold it properly. She could only look at the battle with fear on her face.
If the fight got too close to her, she would immediately step back in fear.
Perhaps not realizing where she was stepping back, she accidentally stood not far from Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing looked at the few people who were struggling to hold on and then glanced at the timid woman next to him. He quietly approached, almost soundlessly.
Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he grabbed the trembling hand of the woman and swiftly turned around, placing the blade against his fair neck.
The woman, who had been completely focused on the battle, never expected someone to touch her. She let out a subconscious scream and struggled, trying to step back.
However, there was a wall behind her, so she could only take one or two steps before being blocked by it.
Ruan Qing knew that the woman would definitely be startled, but fortunately, he didn’t hesitate in his response. He held onto the woman’s hand without letting go and followed her footsteps, taking two steps back.
So even though the blade was pressed against his neck, it didn’t actually harm him.
The woman’s scream broke the situation, drawing the attention of both the others and Ji Yan in the direction of the scream.
T/N: A new BL novel to translate! Yey! I really like the MC here. Despite his physical weakness, he could still survive because he could ACT his way out of any situation. LOL. Each dungeon instance is also very interesting.
Anyway, if you liked this story and this translation, please try to rate it favorably on Novel Updates. And if you could, I would really appreciate a donation. ^^
