Universe Infinite Canteen

Perhaps realizing that the betrayal of his lips was inevitable, staying would only make things worse.

The lonely handsome man gave up on negotiating with Ma Lu and was about to push the door open and leave after finishing the verse.

He just wanted to leave this somewhat eerie restaurant as soon as possible.

However, unexpectedly, Ma Lu had already stepped briskly in front of him and asked,

"What secrets do you have?"

As a result, the lonely handsome man tightly closed his lips; since he could not lie, he decided not to speak anymore.

However, Ma Lu had already anticipated this and quietly activated his mocking switch.

The lonely handsome man has already held a grudge against Ma Lu for being forced to sing and reveal his feelings abruptly, and now his Envy Value had been maximized.

The lonely handsome man could no longer bear it and began to sing again, "Everyone has different ways of expressing love/I advise you not to meddle or else beware of inviting trouble~"

"Fine, just honestly tell me your way of expressing love and I will not bother you anymore," Ma Lu promised.

"I..." The lonely handsome man almost bit his own lips until they bled, his face no longer composed and elegant, his features nearly twisted together, appearing somewhat hysterical.

He lowered his voice and continued to sing in a deep, hoarse voice.

"Welcome to my mansion/It rests in the deepest shadows of the city/There is no light nor rain here, only me and my little secrets~"

After pausing, he continued, "Secrets/I've had secrets since I was very young/I despise fleeting things/I had a cat called Xiao Li/Yet, she fell ill soon/ The doctor said she was going to leave me/But I hate fleeting things~"

"What happened to that cat afterward?"

"I found a knife, and while she was still alive, I thrust it in," the lonely handsome man said indifferently, "I extracted her heart, the first time I saw something so beautiful and eternal~"

"I immersed it in Formalin~This way, Xiao Li would never leave me/From then on, I found the weapon to conquer transience~"

"People love their physical bodies, but they don't realize, those are just inferior things/Eventually, they will all fade with time~"

The lonely handsome man murmured in a voice almost like a whisper, "But I am different, I have already found the weapon to conquer transience~"

He glanced at Love-Struck, "She is not my first wife/Some are charming, some are playful, some knit sweaters for me/Ha, like this sweater I'm wearing~

"In return, I let them all live in my mansion/Our love has conquered transience and become something eternally unchanging~Finally together forever~"

Ma Lu gasped, "Wait, do you mean you also extracted their hearts, just like you did with the cat named Xiao Li?"

No wonder when answering Love-Struck's question earlier, the lonely handsome man said he loved her brilliant, beautiful heart chambers; Ma Lu thought it was metaphorical, not literal.

"Correct, they pleaded and cried when they learned the truth/But the train of fate had already whistled/It was time to break the shackles of transience and pursue eternal beauty~"

"I love them, I only endow those I truly like with/the meaning of eternity/If it were just a game/I wouldn't have let those women live in my mansion."

"Uh... dude, you're kinda psycho, are you sure you don't need to see a psychiatrist, or maybe you could just be shot straight away."

Ma Lu exclaimed in shock.

"Like I've said, everyone has their own way of expressing love," the lonely handsome man sneered, "You don't understand my depth of affection and love."

"But your affection and love should at least be kept within the bounds of the law, not to mention morals," Ma Lu said.

Ma Lu quietly grasped the cell phone in his pocket, planning to dial 110 and call the police.

He had only intended to satisfy Love-Struck's request to verify if her boyfriend genuinely loved her, not expecting to discover such shocking information.

The lonely handsome man was clearly responsible for more than one murder; this guy, a true urban murderer.

While calling the police, Ma Lu also signaled to Love-Struck with his eyes, indicating that she should stay farther away from the lonely handsome man.

But the lonely handsome man, a veteran criminal, quickly realized what Ma Lu was planning and pulled the Love-Struck girl in front of himself.

Then, he hurried back to the table, grabbed a dinner knife, and pressed it against Love-Struck's neck.

"Make a sound, and I'll kill her now~"

The threat in his words was clear, though it sounded somewhat bizarre as the lonely handsome man sang it like a pop song.

Clearly serious, he pressed the knife slightly deeper, piercing Love-Struck's clothing.

Ma Lu had no choice but to take his hands out of his pockets to show he hadn't called for help.

At the same time, he tried to calm the lonely handsome man, saying, "Things haven't reached a point of no return; don't be so agitated."

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? You've already heard my biggest secret! Are you treating me like a fool? How can this be reversed?!" Experience new stories with empire

To Ma Lu's admiration, even at such a time, the lonely handsome man didn't forget to rhyme while singing.

"I warn you not to play tricks/If tonight is my end/then neither of you will leave here alive~"

The lonely handsome man threw out another fierce threat.

The situation seemed to have reached a deadlock, but Ma Lu wasn't worried because it was his turf.

Sure enough, Old Wang had noticed the commotion in the front hall too and walked out from the kitchen.

His footsteps were light, and just then, Ma Lu switched to persuasive mode, urging the lonely handsome man to turn himself in.

Thus, the lonely handsome man didn't notice Old Wang immediately.

Perfect opportunity!

Ma Lu made eye contact with Old Wang, signaling him to sneak up and punch the lonely handsome man in the back of the head.

If they could knock the lonely handsome man out, Love-Struck would be safe.

However, Old Wang stopped walking when he was not far behind the lonely handsome man.

Something then dawned on Ma Lu, and he felt a chill in his heart.

It was over; he had forgotten that Old Wang was an absolute pacifist! He'd never resort to violence and, despite having many attributes, wasn't able to deliver any blow.

The lonely handsome man, seeing Ma Lu making faces, finally sensed something was off.

Turning around and startled, he quickly moved a few steps to the side, distancing himself from Old Wang, and seemed enraged.

Hardening his heart, he then stabbed the dinner knife toward Love-Struck's leg.

"No!" Ma Lu cried out, summoning his Chef's Knife, intending to rush to her rescue, but he was a step too late.

The dinner knife had already penetrated Love-Struck's thigh.

But then, a scene that baffled everyone occurred.

After piercing Love-Struck's skirt, the Chef's Knife encountered no resistance, passing straight through.

"Huh?!" the lonely handsome man was taken aback.

Then he saw the Love-Struck girl finally remove the veil from her face and turn to look at him.

Underneath the veil was a stark skeleton's head.

"Do you want my heart, handsome brother?"
