I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Chapter 14 Saya's Scissors

Lin Yan returned to her small single room in the urban village and collapsed onto the bed, completely exhausted.

An hour earlier, his heart was nearly crushed by a bizarre object.

And now, lying here, he can still hear the young couple next door arguing about who should take out the trash.

After the adrenaline subsided, I felt extremely lethargic.

Just as Lin Yan closed his eyes, the system panel of the matchmaking group popped up.

The "Splendid Feast" date event has ended.

[Female guest "Slit-Mouthed Woman Saya" rates this date: S]

[The scoring criteria have been generated. The following content is transcribed from the female guest's surface consciousness; the system has only summarized and organized it.]

He didn't run away, nor did he run away when the freak targeted him.

He wanted to handle it himself. I looked at him three times, but he didn't turn around or call me.

In the end, his heart almost stopped, but he was still holding my hand.

He saw my face, but didn't scream, didn't back away, and didn't look away.

that's all.

[Disclaimer: This system only transcribes the female guests' genuine feelings; the wording and style are unrelated to the system.]

[S-rank rewards are being distributed...]

[Reward 1: 300 Bond Points (Current Balance: 350)]

[Reward 2: Passive Skill - Bizarre Gaze.]

[Effect: When facing monstrous beings of the Ghost level or lower, immune to intimidation-type effects, maintaining normal thinking and action abilities.]

[Note: Fear is the grotesque's first weapon; from now on, this weapon is ineffective against you.]

[Reward 3, being distributed...]

A small ball of light condensed in mid-air, slowly descended, and hovered above his chest.

[An S-rank rating triggers an extra drop: The Slit-Mouthed Woman's Gift!]

The ball of light dissipated.

An earphone case fell into his arms.

When Lin Yan opened it, he found that it was the same model as his previous pirated AIR.

He took out the earphones and examined them carefully for a while.

Two characters were found engraved on the inside.

Saya.

The font is very small and doesn't look like printed text; it must have been hand-carved.

As I was looking at it, a panel suddenly popped up in the system.

[Rule Item - Unnamed (Customizable)]

Prototype: Fragments of the core rules of the bizarre "Deadly Shop Visit" and the remains of a certain pirated Air headset.

Refiner: Slit-Mouthed Woman Saya.

Rule characteristics: When worn, it can eavesdrop on the rule-based communication between the bizarre beings.

Communication between the supernatural beings usually takes the form of regular fluctuations that cannot be directly received by humans. This item can translate these fluctuations into information that the user can understand.

Continuous use consumes mental energy, or it may be converted into consuming affinity points (1 point/minute).

Note: Apparently, someone lost their headphones and they were picked up by a "kind-hearted person".

Lin Yan put on the headphones; they fit perfectly, and the noise cancellation was just right.

He opened the matchmaking group and clicked into Saya's chat box.

The screen above displays "Typing...".

[Lin Yan]: There are words on the inside of the earphone.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: What character?

[Lin Yan]: Your name.

[Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya]: ...

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: My hand slipped while I was carving, I originally wanted to carve something else.

[Lin Yan]: What did you originally want to carve?

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Don't you humans like things like serial numbers?

[Lin Yan]: This pair of headphones does not have a serial number.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Then pretend I didn't decide what to carve.

[Lin Yan]: Then I accidentally carved my own name on it.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: I said it was a slip of the hand.

[Lin Yan]: My hand slipped and I accidentally carved my own name on it.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Why do you talk so much?

[Lin Yan]: It's normal for me to talk a lot since I have your name on my ear.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Then take it off.

[Lin Yan]: Do not pick.

There was silence for almost half a minute.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Don't let anyone see it.

[Lin Yan]: What?

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: courtesy name.

[Lin Yan]: Why?

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Why ask so many questions?

[Lin Yan]: Okay.

[Lin Yan]: Only the two of us know.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Hmm.

[Lin Yan]: I will wear it every day to listen to music from now on.

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Whatever.

[Lin Yan]: Does that count as indirect contact with you every day?

【Slit-Mouthed Woman - Saya】: Shut up.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and decided to give the headphones a name.

Saya's scissors.

System message: [Naming successful]

After choosing a name, Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the matchmaking group again.

Remaining affinity points: 350.

The first red envelope I sent was a life-saving gift from the system; I exchanged 10 points of affinity points for a Great Compassion Mantra.

It really saved a life.

Later, another lucky draw was held, and the luckiest person that time was Saya, with 25 points.

And that's how tonight's date came about.

He stared at the balance and pondered for a while.

He had witnessed the patience of these women before.

Instead of waiting for them to urge you, you should send it proactively.

This will also allow me to verify whether what I thought was true.

He first scrolled up through the group chat history to see what the atmosphere was like in the group.

[Mermaid in the Sewers]:

Today, the water level in the sewers of Nanhu District rose by half a meter, and the turbidity was also high.

It seems something has built a nest at the drain outlet again.

Can someone take a look for me if they have time? I'm busy.

[Red-clad senior student]: You're always busy.

[The Mermaid in the Sewer]: I'm busy.

[Ouija Board]:

The mermaid sister said she was busy last time because she was watching a TV series.

The last time I said I was busy, it was because I was chasing after celebrities.

The time before last, I said I was busy because I was following fanfiction.

What exactly are you busy with?

[The mermaid in the sewer]: None of your business.

【Funeral Love Family: Heavy Metal Nun】:

Anyone want to go to Nanhu?

A new heavy metal livehouse opened over there, and I'm looking for a rideshare.

There is a real blood fountain on site, not a prop. Women only, men please do not come.

[Red-Clad Senior]: What happened to the stranger you picked up in the carpool last time?

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】: She ended up in the ICU. It wasn't my fault; she stuck her head into the speaker herself.

[Ouija Board]: ...

【Cyber Wraith - Chu Chu】:

Good evening, ladies!

Chuchu is in a good mood today, so she checked the weather for you guys.

Dear mermaid sister of the sewer, it will rain in your sewer area tomorrow afternoon, making it even more turbid. I suggest you don't go out tomorrow.

Sister, the Nanhu area has been flagged by the authorities; I suggest you find another place.

【Mermaid in the Sewers】: What does the official label mean?

【Cyber Ghost Chu Chu】: This means that plainclothes officers are staking out the door.

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】: Damn it, I'm not some wanted criminal.

[The mermaid in the sewer]: Not that kind of person.

That's it. There's nothing more to see here. Usually, there aren't many messages in the group chat.

He scrolled back to the bottom and clicked to send a red envelope.

Amount: 100 points, Quantity: 5, Try your luck.

send.

You sent a "connection value" red envelope.

[The red envelopes were all claimed in 0.001 seconds!]

[The Mermaid in the Sewer] got 14 PM.
