Endless Throne - Chapter 4

“Woo-ah-ah-ah-ah… hiccup…”

To see a burly man cry like this truly made one feel sympathetic.

Lin Yebai was confident in his knife skills—one slash to behead, it wouldn’t hurt much.

[Strong Man Lock Man]: Crying boys are the cutest! So soft~

[Left and Right are Both Men]: Big brothers are right

[Whiny Monster]: Ah, my eyes

The knife still hadn’t fallen. Coach Wang sobbed once, his survival instinct taking over, and with tear-filled eyes, “My spider silk has many uses, it can definitely help you both.”

“Recently, more and more monsters have been attacking proactively. Even if you kill me, it won’t reduce the number of monsters in the neighborhood. I can be your fighter, slow down opponents’ attacks, and even knit sweaters and pants…”

“Brother Lin, let’s spare him for now. If what he says is true, we’ll consider cooperation. If he’s lying to us, we’ll chop his head off,” Zhou Yuan decided after thinking.

“Mm.”

Lin Yebai sheathed his knife, took down all the spider silk in the room, and wrapped it around his knife handle, wanting to try if it could be made into a concealed weapon. Before leaving, he gave a gentle smile to Coach Wang, who had barely escaped death.

“Pardon our intrusion into your residence.”

When he spoke seriously, his voice was extremely clear and pleasant, with an innately dignified air that reminded people of ancient scholarly families who passed down rituals, music, poetry, and books. Because of his frail, sickly appearance, his apology seemed all the more sincere and earnest.

Coach Wang thought that this person was different from Zhou Yuan—not only was he good-looking, but also very polite—truly a good person.

Zhou Yuan, however, heard something else in it. Could Brother Lin be a chivalrous hero who had come from ancient times? Was the ultimate evolutionary career for ancient heroes to become security guards after coming to this world?

With Brother Lin’s skills being so good, wouldn’t it be amazing if he could rely on him?

Zhou Yuan’s eyes brightened, and suddenly realizing he had brought Lin to break into someone’s home, he blushed with embarrassment and lowered his head to apologize. “Brother Lin, I’m sorry. I was too scared earlier and didn’t even check the door number clearly, causing you and Coach Wang to fight…”

“It’s fine.” Lin Yebai remained calm—this was a fortunate accident. Knowing in advance that there was an aberrant nearby was better than having it lurking in the shadows.

Zhou Yuan finally entered the right door. The place was covered in dust, and the interior structure was similar to Coach Wang’s home, with switches, furniture, and lamps in slightly different positions.

Lin Yebai’s gaze quickly swept across the room layout, looking for positions easy to defend but difficult to attack. The third floor wasn’t high—if faced with deadly danger, one could escape through the window and, with one or two pushes off surfaces, easily land on the ground.

The walls were covered with pictures of scantily clad women, drawn in an exaggerated style. These women were different from normal people, with brightly colored eyes and hair, sporting animal ears and tails.

Zhou Yuan displayed an embarrassed but polite smile. Haha…Brother Lin had seen all his anime merchandise, which was somewhat embarrassing. Had he known, he wouldn’t have put them on the wall.

Thinking of Coach Wang with his walls covered in high-definition posters of Billy Herrington and Banana Man, Zhou Yuan felt his conditions were superior.

“Brother Lin, you shower first. I have new clothes that haven’t been worn.”

Despite Lin Yebai’s best efforts to avoid it, his clothes were still splattered with quite a bit of blood, sticky and gory. The moment he walked into the bathroom, the live broadcast room temporarily closed.

Zhou Yuan turned on the water heater and found that the electrical appliances weren’t broken, which relieved him.

Lin Yebai didn’t know where security guards were supposed to live or if they had spare clothes, so he didn’t refuse. He didn’t understand this world well and still needed to find food and water—having Zhou Yuan around made things much easier.

“Brother Lin, does your knife need washing? Let me clean it for you…”

Since he had already decided to suck up to Brother Lin, he had to be thorough.

With permission, Zhou Yuan cleaned the bone knife that Lin Yebai had broken off from the aberrant until it was spotless, and wrapped the spider silk around chopsticks.

Lin Yebai came out of the bathroom in clean clothes, slowly drying his wet hair.

“Brother Lin, you can use the hair dryer. I’ve put your clothes in the washing machine.”

Zhou Yuan plugged in the hair dryer and hurried into the bathroom.

The warm air flowed through Lin Yebai’s fingertips. He unplugged it, and the warm air stopped. He plugged it back in, and the hair dryer continued working.

Lin Yebai looked at the socket, his fingertips approaching it, tempted to try.

[Super Rich Tangerine Seat] donated 1000 star coins

[Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Baby don’t poke it aaaaahh

[Magician’s Big Zen Staff]: Poke it and you’ll see Buddha

[Peace for a Lifetime]: Never touch switches, plugs and sockets with wet hands

[Blooming Wealth]: Wall sockets are dangerous, poking and touching randomly will electrocute you

Lin Yebai gave up the idea of sticking his fingers in, and inadvertently looked outside the window, making eye contact with a face pressed against it.

This was the third floor.

The man outside the window didn’t look much better than the Hundred-Eyed Madam. His mouth was split wide, filled with serrated, sharp fangs. His mouth was so large that there was no place for his nose, leaving only two black holes.

Lin Yebai’s posture remained unchanged, his hair half-dry, tucked behind his ears. The clean bone knife lay within reach. In a dangerous environment, one needed to remain vigilant at all times.

The aberrant outside the window didn’t believe that the young man sitting inside had any ability to resist. The black shirt made him appear even more bloodless, as if recovering from a serious illness, so weak that a single finger could push him over.

The fanged aberrant stretched his mouth into a big smile, easily tore open the security mesh, climbed in through the window, and stood behind the door to prevent his prey from escaping.

He didn’t want to make too much noise—lately, there were more and more of his kind, and food wasn’t enough to go around.

[I Am a Little Green Dragon]: First time seeing someone actively crawl through security mesh, delivering themselves to be killed

[Uchiha Boba Milk Tea]: This aberrant must use a lot of toothpaste when brushing

[Guthana the Dark God]: Oh my God! Maybe he doesn’t brush his teeth!

Lin Yebai’s train of thought was derailed as he briefly considered whether aberrants brushed their teeth or not. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“Mr. Lin, may I come in?” It was Coach Wang’s voice.

Another one! Is today going to be a big harvest?

The fanged aberrant’s eyes lit up with excitement as he cast a threatening look at Lin Yebai, indicating he should quickly agree.

“Come in,” Lin Yebai remained seated on the sofa, looking composed.

The fanged aberrant lurked behind the door, opening it for Coach Wang, being warm and attentive.

[Watermelon Patch Sinner]: The scene I’ve been most looking forward to has appeared!
