I was about to take action.
"Ah! It hurts! Stop hitting me! Please! I agree, I agree, is that okay? I won't run away again..."
A miserable cry suddenly echoed from a distance.
I froze.
Bingbing leaned against me, saying, "Don't mind that. It's just a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules here and wants to escape. Honestly, what's there to run from? Life here is so enjoyable."
My head throbbed a bit; that voice sounded somewhat familiar. I glanced to my left and saw Wang Dong already entangled with a woman who resembled Big Mimy.
"Hey, Dong Ge, let's... let's go check it out."
Wang Dong seemed reluctant. "There's nothing to see; this happens all the time! Trust me, these women are all free. The newcomers still need blood points; what's so good about it?"
"I think the voice sounds familiar. Let's go take a look first, and we can have our fun later."
Wang Dong impatiently put on his clothes. "You're such a hassle. Fine, let's go. I'll take you to see it. Just so you know, blood points are crucial here. Without them, you can't survive. Come on."
Wang Dong pulled me along toward the source of the screams. Bingbing and Big Mimy didn't try to stop us; they went out again to attract customers.
When we reached the place where the cries were coming from, we saw a woman bound with her hands tied, her hair disheveled as she sobbed in pain. She was quite beautiful, with ample curves, and she didn't look like a robot at all.
Robot?
I was taken aback for a moment, then it suddenly hit me—What the hell! Isn’t that Officer Long Nan? Isn’t that Sister Long?
An older woman resembling a madam approached and said, “This woman is a newcomer. No one has claimed her yet. You only need three blood points to take her home as a wife. She’s a wife, after all. Once you get her home, you can do whatever you want with her. If you get tired of her, you can even swap her with friends for some fun. If anyone wants to make a move, hurry up! Newcomers are getting rarer by the day. Once this opportunity is gone, it’s gone for good.”
My head was spinning. I looked at Sister Long, whose hands were bound. I couldn’t fathom how she ended up in such a dire situation; she must have been sold into this brothel!
I didn’t dare speak; I had to find a way to rescue Sister Long.
At that moment, Sister Long suddenly spotted us. She began to struggle fiercely and shouted, “Wang Dong! Is that really you? What are you doing here?”
I was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Wang Dong.
I had no idea how Long Nan knew Wang Dong; she recognized someone from this strange place!
Wang Dong was also taken aback as he looked at Long Nan. “You… know me?”
“I… you’re my boyfriend!” Long Nan exclaimed loudly.
Wang Dong looked even more confused. “I… I don’t have a girlfriend or a wife. I’m single. But hey, if you want to consider me your boyfriend, that works too. Hey, madam, how about selling this woman to me for a lower price?”
The madam glanced at Wang Dong with a cold look in her eyes and shook her head. “That won’t do. No matter how many blood points you offer, I won’t sell her to you just like that. It seems I need to train this newcomer properly.”
At that moment, my mind was even more chaotic. I realized many things; there was something wrong with this place, and everyone here had their issues.
At that moment, the madam took out a bowl of water and said to Long Nan, "Drink this, and everything will be harmonious."
Long Nan tightly shut her mouth. She looked at Wang Dong and then back at me.
The madam slapped Long Nan across the face. "You little bitch, since you've been sold to my brothel, why do you still have your memories? Drink it!"
Wang Dong stood there in a daze, utterly confused, his eyes vacant.
I remembered everything clearly. I rushed forward and grabbed the madam by the head. With all my strength, I twisted her neck with a sharp snap.
I didn’t know why I acted so violently; perhaps it was fear and tension, but more importantly, I knew this place was just an illusion.
After consuming Fox Demon Meat, I found I had considerable strength.
Once I snapped the madam's neck, her body suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a cloud of smoke. Then the entire brothel began to collapse slowly, and the onlookers and courtesans around us panicked and ran in all directions.
I was scared too. I rushed forward and quickly untied Long Nan's ropes. Grabbing her hand, I said, "Sister Long, we need to get out of here."
Long Nan grabbed Wang Dong's hand. "Wang Dong, hurry up and run!"
Wang Dong still seemed dazed as he looked at Long Nan. "Sister, do you really know me? I don’t remember you."
At that moment, the entire brothel started to crumble. The falling bricks struck people below, instantly turning them into clouds of smoke. We hurriedly ran toward the back of the building where there were many private rooms reserved for only the most esteemed guests.
However, for some reason, after the madam died, the entire brothel was collapsing, and naturally, the courtyard behind it could not escape its fate either.
At that moment, a man burst out of the room, completely naked, roaring, "What the hell is going on! What's happening here! An illegal structure! My dear, how did you turn into a cloud of mist?"
I recognized him immediately; it was Qin Hai. He stood at the door, looking regretful and seemingly unwilling to leave, muttering to himself.
I stepped forward, wrapped my arms around Qin Hai's neck, and pulled him outside.
"Who... who are you?" Qin Hai pushed me away.
"Damn it, I'm Song Fei! Have you lost your mind, Qin Hai?" I cursed.
"Song Fei? Qin Hai? Right, we seem to know each other... but wait, what's going on... Hey, no, Song Fei, I just saw this incredibly beautiful girl, and she was free! She looked just like Gao Yuanyuan, my goddess! I had just stripped her clothes off and hadn't even had the chance to do anything yet when suddenly she turned into a cloud of mist. I'm so anxious and regretful! If I had known this would happen, why were we even drinking? We should have just stripped her down and gone for it!" Qin Hai rambled on in despair.
I kicked Qin Hai. "Stop thinking about all that nonsense! Hurry up and run; the Ghost Wolf Guards will be here soon."
As soon as I finished speaking, dozens of armored Ghost Wolf Guards with wolf masks appeared in the distance. They surrounded the brothel and began searching.
Qin Hai, Long Nan, and I took off running. Wang Dong seemed reluctant; clearly, he thought this had nothing to do with him.
Long Nan appeared to be the most clear-headed; she grabbed Wang Dong's arm. "Wang Dong, you're really my boyfriend! You went missing for three years; I thought you were dead! I can't believe you're living here!"
Wang Dong looked at Long Nan, slapped his forehead in frustration, and shook his head impatiently. "I... I don't know you. I want to stay here. You've already destroyed one brothel; do you want to ruin the whole street too?"
Long Nan tried to pull Wang Dong along again.
I pushed Long Nan aside and cupped my hands toward Wang Dong. "Dong Ge, thanks for everything before. I'm leaving now; I hope you have a good life." With that, I grabbed Long Nan and Qin Hai and ran off into the distance.
I don't know what happened, but after the brothel collapsed, the women here, along with the entire establishment, crumbled as well. Many people turned into swirling black mist and dissipated.
The three of us gasped for breath as we hid behind a large rock in an alley.
Qin Hai was still lost in regret, but it was clear that his memory had returned. "What kind of place is this? How could there be so many star courtesans? Honestly, when I saw Gao Yuanyuan, I almost lost control."
"Shut up!" Long Nan snapped at Qin Hai, clearly in a bad mood.
Qin Hai forced an awkward smile and then asked, "So what exactly is going on here?"
I slapped my forehead. "Do you remember where you were when you first arrived here?"
Long Nan immediately replied, "When I woke up, I was sold to this brothel. If I hadn't run into you, I might have actually been trained to become a courtesan. Even though I know it's not real, being played with by men in a dream is pretty terrifying."
I shook my head. "This is more than just a dream. Qin Hai, do you remember where you were when you first came here?"
Qin Hai thought for a moment. "I think it was in a rundown inn. That Shop Owner even demanded a drop of my blood. Honestly, it hurt quite a bit—damn it, that bastard Boss."
I clapped my hands. "That's right! We all entered this strange place from that inn. You both remember what happened before we got here, right? We went to Wang Cuihua's home to investigate and ended up knocked out by Wang Cuihua's father. When we arrived in this bizarre place, we all appeared in that inn again. So I think the key to getting out lies there. We just need to kill that Shop Owner. I estimate that the inn will collapse like this brothel did, and then we can escape this hellhole."
Long Nan looked at me skeptically. "Is that reliable? What if we just end up dead?"
"It shouldn't... be the case," I said, feeling uncertain after Long Nan's comment.
Qin Hai sighed. "Well, actually staying here isn't so bad either; we have the goddess Gao Yuanyuan keeping us company for free. I think..."
"Dammit!" I slapped Qin Hai on the head. "Can you be a little more reliable? Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. If we stay here any longer, we'll forget everything, even who our parents are."
Hearing this, Qin Hai and Long Nan had no objections. The three of us hurried down the alley towards the inn where I had entered.
The street was a bit chaotic, but most people were happily eating, drinking, and having fun. They could eat, drink, indulge, and gamble; yet for some reason, looking into their eyes felt unsettlingly hollow.
We ran cautiously, and before long, we returned to the inn. It was shabby, with hardly anyone dining inside.
We quietly made our way to the second floor, which surprisingly was also empty. I felt puzzled when Qin Hai pointed to a room ahead. It was peculiar, locked with a brass lock and distinctly different in design from the other guest rooms.
We approached it and exchanged glances. I nodded, then kicked the door open...
