Chapter 033: Wielding the Mighty Weapon to Brutally Beat the Blond

"I've always been pondering a question,"

"And that is, when ordinary guests encounter the eerie staff of the inn, what options do they have besides running away?"

"After all, simple physical damage doesn't seem to have much effect."

However, it is possible for eerie entities to harm other eerie entities.

This was one of the reasons Lin Ye tried to persuade the female receptionist. Although this round of the game was nearing its conclusion, it didn't mean he could stop gathering more intel.

"If guests have no means to harm the eerie entities, then... wouldn't that be too unfair? No, it would be unbalanced there's no balance between the two sides of the game,"

Taisuke broke out in a cold sweat.

This guy is treating this place like a game!

"And as for the ten rules of the 'Guest Guide,' from the first to the tenth, all of them have been validated and displayed. But only the final friendly reminder has yet to be utilized."

Hoshino Ai's gaze slowly shifted downward, landing on the lubricant and the vibrating rod in Lin Ye's hand. Her face reddened as she instinctively felt shy facing these... intimate tools.

The purple-black-haired girl suddenly remembered Lin Ye's words to her earlier when they had come across these items: "We'll use them later." Was this the moment he had been referring to?

Hoshino Ai was stunned and filled with admiration.

Kuroda Hikaru felt the same, her respect for Lin Ye growing. She always admired strong and intelligent men.

"So, Taisuke-kun, help me test my theory, won't you?"

"If I'm wrong, I'll stay here. If I'm right, you'll die..."

Lin Ye gripped the mighty weapon the Vibrating Holy Sword and walked step by step toward him.

"Lin... Lin-bro..."

Taisuke swallowed hard.

"Kidding, kidding, what I said just now was... all a joke,"

"Let's talk this out, really, we can talk this out... peace is precious, you know!"

He kept retreating, forcing a flattering smile.

"Spare me, I'm begging you, really... you can all leave now, everyone can go... honestly..."

"Really?"

"Really, more genuine than pure gold."

"And her?"

"Of course, she can too."

But it was only after agreeing that Taisuke realized Lin Ye was referring to the female receptionist.

"She can't."

"She really can't, unless..."

At that moment, Taisuke is mouth seemed sealed shut, and he clutched at his throat, unable to speak. It took a while before he regained his composure.

Sweat poured down his forehead in large beads, as if he had just endured something terrifying.

He had touched upon forbidden information.

Lin Ye thought to himself.

"If you won't talk, then help me test it out!"

"I really can't! Please, you're the bigger person, don't hold a grudge against someone like me. Spare me, I beg you!"

"Kneel..."

Plop!

Without the slightest hesitation, Taisuke knelt. But the next second, he lowered his head, revealing a savage determination. His eyes burned with rage and malice as his entire body sprang up, lunging toward Lin Ye.

[Time Stop]

Only Lin Ye moved in the frozen moment.

He unscrewed the bottle of lubricant and poured it directly into Taisuke is mouth.

Then came the spray,

the steel wool,

the Vibrating Holy Sword.

Hoshino Ai stared in stunned disbelief.

This... this is just... too ruthless!

Yet, she felt not a shred of sympathy. Taisuke is current state was entirely his own doing.

He had brought this upon himself.

When the time stop ended and time resumed its flow, Taisuke, who moments ago had been savagely preparing to bully and humiliate Lin Ye, immediately clutched his throat, coughing and choking violently.

Liquid slick, slimy liquid

Clang!

"Hel..."

His entire body collapsed heavily onto the floor, eyes wide open, his face pale. His body convulsed a few times.

"I... can't die..."

His bloodshot eyes stared with a twisted grin.

"I'll... wait for you... next time you come back... to the inn. I'll... be waiting."

With a thud,

He stopped moving altogether dead beyond doubt.

"Is he dead?"

Hoshino Ai took small steps toward Lin Ye.

"Mm, but he'll probably revive. Since he's already part of the inn's staff, as long as the inn exists, he can't truly die. At least for now, though, he won't appear before us again."

Lin Ye glanced at the female receptionist. He recalled how yesterday he had kicked her out of the inn more than once, yet each time she managed to reappear.

"He's dead,"

The cool female voice confirmed it. The receptionist spoke.

"Rule: death."

The blond was truly dead.

Lin Ye stood in silent mourning but decided he'd celebrate with fireworks later.

This guy being alive had made his trip to the two-dimensional world almost pointless. But now, things were good he had truly gotten rid of him.

"Thank you."

Lin Ye once again expressed his gratitude to the female receptionist.

She walked up to Lin Ye, silently gazing at him. Her eyes seemed to convey something.

Following her line of sight, Lin Ye noticed she was looking at the spilled lubricant on the floor.

A thought suddenly struck him.

No way...

Lin Ye hesitated over this notion. But based on the receptionist's reaction, he felt he had guessed correctly.

"You want to die... don't you?"

She neither confirmed nor denied it. There wasn't even the slightest change in her expression.

But Lin Ye already had his answer.

This female receptionist... truly wanted to die!
