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

[Red-Clad Senior Sister]: The nun's method is too bloody, how can little brothers stand it?

[Red-Clad Senior]: Little brother, my method is the gentlest.

If you just peel off your skin and sew it together with your sister's red dress stitch by stitch, our flesh and soul will never be separated, and my power will naturally be yours~ How romantic!

[The Mermaid in the Sewers]: ...You two are crazy.

[The Mermaid in the Sewers]: Lin Yan, there's no need for that.

Come to me, and I'll carve your own gills. As long as you stay in my water forever and never see the sun, you'll naturally be able to use my rules.

As Lin Yan read through the messages from his fellow group members, he felt increasingly cold, his limbs growing icy and cold sweat pouring down his face.

Chen Feng is right! The bizarre is simply beyond the comprehension of normal people.

This is a path we absolutely cannot take; if we do, we'll truly become monsters.

Lin Yan wiped away a cold sweat. He couldn't think of a solution himself, and he couldn't rely on his group members. What else could he do?

"What the heck, let's try anything," Lin Yan thought, and decided to ask the system.

"How can an ordinary person transform bizarre rules into spiritual power?" Lin Yan asked in his mind.

After a while, there was no response, and Lin Yan was about to give up when a system notification popped up.

When the host's affinity with a female guest reaches the maximum value of 100, the function [Bound by Contract] will be unlocked.

[Contract]: The host will share 50% of the female guest's rule authority without injury, becoming half of the rule holder.

Sharing half the power? That sounds familiar...

At this moment, the stopwatch for the horizontal bar challenge jumped to [00:45].

The muscular man's forehead started to sweat, but he seemed relatively relaxed; it wasn't the crucial moment yet.

Lin Yan swallowed hard and immediately opened the information list of several female ghosts in the group.

He remembered that there was a rating system displayed here, but he had basically never paid attention to it.

Affection can be negative one second and overflowing the next.

This is an experience he summarized from many personal experiences.

However, since the system said so, this favorability might be different from what I understand.

The mermaid currently has 30 points, the nun and the senior student both have 13 points, and the highest is Chu Chu with 65 points.

It seems there's still a long way to go before reaching the maximum value of 100 points.

Just as Lin Yan was about to close the interface, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have missed one.

What about Saya's? Why isn't it showing up?

He flipped through the pages again and found there was a second page.

However, to his surprise, the section on Saya's favorability rating clearly stated:

【Affection Level: 100 (Maximum/Can Be Bound)】

Lin Yan's hand holding the milk tea trembled, and she almost crushed the cup.

"100?!"

"System, are you bugging something? When I first triggered the offline meeting, you clearly indicated her affection level was 10!"

The stopwatch jumped to [00:80].

The coach on the horizontal bar began to grit his teeth in pain, his hands trembling slightly, but he did not show the same fear as Wang Hu before his death.

He was simply exhausted.

Please carefully review the system prompts.

[The initial indication was: Affection level: 10.]

[0 was forcibly folded and hidden as a "." by a certain bizarre person, meaning the original favorability level was 100.]

Lin Yan suddenly felt as if the noise of the crowd around him had faded away.

Was the system coerced?

Why?

Why did my impression of this old-fashioned freak known for his hatred of humanity suddenly jump to 100% after I just stole one of his red envelopes?!

This doesn't make any sense!

These 100 cases could never be what is known as love at first sight.

Lin Yan closed his eyes, and scenes from the time he met Saya flashed through his mind.

At the entrance of Jinxiu Jinshan Restaurant, she arrived early but claimed she was just there to run errands.

When she received the cat-shaped face mask, the panic in her eyes after the murderous intent had faded was palpable.

In the dead zone of the heavy machinery factory, she stood in front of herself.

And when they parted, after she pushed him away, she instantly tore through space and caught him steadily in her arms.

These actions would be extremely incongruous if placed on a bizarre person.

Why didn't I notice it before? Why did I take it for granted?

Lin Yan immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

He suddenly realized the way Saya looked at him at the heavy machinery factory...

That's completely different from how mermaids and nuns see me.

There was something in Saya's eyes that he was very familiar with, yet he desperately wanted to avoid.

Possessiveness that is suppressed to the extreme.

All these signs indicate that this terrifying, slit-mouthed woman who roamed Jiangcheng and rose through the ranks at a fraction of a step is definitely suspicious.

She knew him.

Moreover, I've known him for a long time!

She knew his habits and his tricks for coaxing people.

However, Lin Yan searched through all his memories but couldn't find a single person who matched Saya.

Who is she?

Why did she conceal her identity and even coerce the system into hiding 100% of her favorability to stay by his side?

He thought he was in complete control of the group, using his influence and red envelopes to manipulate the female ghosts at will.

Little did he know that he had been targeted from the very beginning.

"Bang!"

The stopwatch stopped at [00:92].

The fitness instructor on the horizontal bar finally collapsed from exhaustion onto the mat.

He stood up, rubbing his sore arm. Apart from being a little frustrated, he was perfectly fine.

He was just an ordinary person and did not trigger the bone extraction rule.

A sigh of regret escaped from the crowd.

Beside the metal frame, the two officers in black were clearly getting impatient.

"Next," the officer in black called out coldly.

Lin Yan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart.

Now is not the time to think about Saya.

Moreover, given Saya's strength, even if she racked her brains, it wouldn't make a difference.

Lin threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can and stretched her wrists.

"I'll give it a try."

He dared to step forward at this moment, certainly not because he was driven to despair by Saya and wanted to throw his life away.

Lin Yan developed a habit while managing his time at university: never fight a battle unprepared.

Not to mention in this bizarre world where death can strike at any moment.

He had already laid out his plan on the way to the pedestrian street.

He had contacted Lao Zhao before he arrived. The provincial bureau's special task force requested support from the branch bureau, and Lao Zhao would not refuse, either for personal or professional reasons.

At this moment, the bureau's most elite snipers are lying in ambush on the top floors of several high-rise buildings opposite the pedestrian street.

Meanwhile, on the periphery, Su Qinghan's team was monitoring the spiritual energy fluctuations in the area in real time through the Heavenly Eye system.

Once the bone-extraction device is activated, or he gives the signal, the sniper's magic-piercing armor-piercing rounds can instantly blast those two black-clad agents into dust.

Lin Yan's preparations went beyond just Lao Zhao's layer of insurance.

He had already pinned the brooch to his sleeve, ready to pull out the frog balloon at any moment should the situation turn against him.

No matter what cult member you are, as long as you're associated with this balloon, you'd better do a 30-second social dance on the spot first.

That thirty seconds of hard control is enough to turn them into sieves.
