Inner Destroyer

　In such a world, of course, love hotels are surrounded by sex shops everywhere, filled with men and women soliciting customers, as well as streetwalkers who don't even have shops.

　There are even worse cases, where only a place to stay and a meal are needed to satisfy the young men and women who are treated like gods.

　Because the competition in the sex industry in this world is very fierce.

　Why? Is that even a question? Just think about it—in a world where you can find sex in public restrooms, in a world where it's easy to find depravity, if your business doesn't have some unique skills, how can you compete with the ubiquitous sex toys? Why would anyone pay for it?

　In this kind of environment, although it cannot be said that tattooed people with dark skin can be seen everywhere, it is indeed easy to find them. Ordinary sex industries will only be defeated by free malicious competition!

　Therefore, in order to enhance their competitiveness, many businesses will even cooperate with the medical industry to carry out body modification... and the prices of these shops are generally not high. Otherwise, everyone's business will be difficult to do.

　To sum up, the resources in this world are actually quite easy to obtain, as long as you have money, power, technology, or simply a lot of money.

　Continuing to speculate from this, everyone should be able to imagine what kind of crazy scenes are around, inside and outside the love hotels in this world?

　And this is just a minor problem.

　The second question is Qi Xing's own speculation:

　In this absurd world of pornographic horror, if Qi Xing and a beautiful girl like Yi Lian walked into a love hotel together, it would essentially be no different from actively exploring a haunted house in a supernatural horror movie. It would be like an old general on the stage, with flags everywhere.

　Because a love hotel is a place where everyone goes to █, and either you █, or you are █ by others.

　In this universe of █ and █, walking into a place like this is as terrifying as rushing directly into Kayako's lair in a horror movie!

　——And this truth is a dark truth that only a time traveler like Qi Xing would notice! How terrifying!

　So, if it were Qi Xing in the past, he would definitely walk around these red-light districts and love hotels and would definitely not go in.

　However, recently, after Sasa's ridicule and Elaine's encouragement, Qi Xing's mentality has begun to change.

　He has decided to face his inner fear!

　So how can we stop and be afraid in front of a mere love hotel?

　Even if he were to kill Kayako in a horror movie, he wouldn't be afraid. Similarly, Qi Xing would rush into the dark heart of this absurd world, jump into the abyss and kill evil!

　Some things are only said in private. In fact, Qi Xing is still a little curious about the love hotels in this world and the somewhat crazy entertainment industry... It's just curiosity. It's normal to be curious.

　Anyway, he didn't dare to find a woman before.

190

　I don't want to go to a prostitute, and it's even more impossible for me to go to a love hotel alone to see what the place looks like, so I'm just curious.

　The sex industry in this world was even different from the normal "Tree of Life" world. After all, in the normal world, how could so many people become addicted and voluntarily work as prostitutes, even for free, to the point of crowding out the sex industry? If Qi Xing were to tell someone about this back home, they would simply think he was crazy and thirsty.

　Now there is finally a legitimate opportunity for Qi Xing to take Elaine into the love hotel openly and see what it looks like inside.

　Maybe he could beat some evil and save some desperate and suffering people. How could he miss this opportunity?

　"Love hotel?"

　It’s a pity that when Elaine heard Qi Xing’s words, she was speechless.

　"Hasn't it ever occurred to you once to want to go to a love hotel?"

　Qi Xing asked back.

　It was impossible to say that Elaine had never thought about it. She was not the type to lie to Qi Xing, so she was speechless for a moment.

　"Well...but we're not married yet..."

　Taking your partner to a love hotel on the first date and seducing him/herself, no matter how you look at it, he is a scumbag who acts quickly, right?

　"Don't worry. I won't touch a hair on your head. This is an adventure, just treat it as a challenge. I'll hold your hand the whole time."

　Qi Xing spoke very seriously and solemnly.

　Unfortunately, Elaine couldn't quite understand his way of thinking as a time traveler who jumped out of the framework.

　Fortunately, Elaine's lovable side lies in this. Even if she doesn't understand Qi Xing's thoughts, as long as what he wants to do is not too outrageous, she will always accept Qi Xing's ideas. If Qi Xing insists, she will basically agree no matter how helpless she is.

　"Okay. Go ahead then."

　Because she had long since realized a truth: even between husband and wife, it was impossible to fully understand each other's thoughts. So, if someone insisted on doing something strange, as long as it didn't violate her own bottom line, she should simply choose to trust them.

　Night had not yet completely fallen, but the streets of Aomori City were already lit up with neon lights, and the colorful lights cast distorted reflections on the wet road surface.

　With Qi Xing's hard instigation, the half-reluctant but half-curious Elaine was finally dragged by him to a corner of the city.

　This is one of Aomori City's entertainment districts. The air is faintly perfumed. Shops huddle together on both sides of the alleyway, their pink, purple, and blue light boxes flashing in a flurry. The signs, in either enchanting or quirky handwriting, clearly and directly outline the services they offer.

　Women in short skirts and high heels leaned against doorways in groups of two or three, giggling and casting flirtatious glances at passersby. They were the lower-class, cheaper types, some practically free. Most of them had some unique peculiar quality, some odd "selling point."

　For example, piercings, dark skin stretch marks, and breast augmentation to an unbelievable size.

　Occasionally, some men in suits would avoid the gazes of others and quickly walk into one of these stores, while the whispers of sales promotion could be heard behind them.

　There were low-end, quirky establishments, but conversely, there were also clearly upscale establishments. Those clubs, with their ambiguous lighting—purple neon, clubs with European-style arches, and women dressed in gorgeous kimonos, cheongsams, or nightclub gowns—loomed in the night. Occasionally, black-suited bodyguards stood at the entrances of certain establishments, scanning passersby with sharp eyes.

　In this world where it's especially easy to find meat, and resources are not so scarce, these "high-end" places and "expensive" women are still different after all.

　They have different temperaments, so their added value is different, which is why people are willing to pay to get in.

　It is of course impossible to say that Qi Xing has never felt curious about such a place over the years.

　In this low-key urban halo, there is a unique building standing quietly on the street corner. It adopts modern French design. The exterior wall of the building is paved with light beige stone and matched with large floor-to-ceiling windows. It looks elegant and mysterious in the night, like a hidden palace.

　This was the upscale local love hotel Qi Xing had carefully selected on Google, called "Secret Heart." Even before entering the main entrance, just from a distance, as the automatic doors slowly opened, Qi Xing and Elaine could glimpse the interior's understated luxury: crystal chandeliers cast a soft, warm glow, and the marble floor reflected the wall sconces. The front desk staff, dressed in sharp black uniforms, exuded a refined, practiced elegance, reminiscent of those high-end private clubs. It stood in stark contrast to the glittering entertainment venues surrounding them.

　Just by feeling this atmosphere, Elaine's face actually started to turn red again.

　Qi Xing looked carefully at the surrounding scenery and the people passing by.

　The exteriors of upscale hotels shimmered in soft light strips, and luxury cars occasionally drove in, picking up and dropping off well-dressed guests. From several lavishly decorated clubs and entertainment venues, the sounds of tipsy laughter and erotic music drifted intermittently.

　Sure enough, he soon discovered that even those who could enter ordinary sex shops (after all, ordinary shops were not very expensive) could not help but show some degree of envy and longing when they saw this area. Not only men, but even women were not without such thoughts.

　Elaine was a little timid: "Do you really want to go in?

191

　? ”

　Qi Xing burst out laughing and pushed her inside to coax her.

　No matter what strange things happen in the love hotel next, Qi Xing is ready to deal with it.

　——Having said that, Qi Xing did not expect that before they even entered the love hotel, an unexpected situation had already occurred.

　Across the street, a young man in an ordinary jacket was walking home from work. His pace gradually slowed down, and his eyes moved back and forth between these luxurious places and the ordinary street scenes not far away.

　When he saw a woman in an exquisite dress and with an extremely elegant temperament talking to a middle-aged white-collar man at the hotel entrance, and when he saw her expressing her feelings to the middle-aged supervisor with a look that seemed to want to refuse but also to welcome him, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

　The light reflected on his face, and one could vaguely see the envy and a hint of unwillingness that were difficult to conceal in his eyes.

　"Huh... it's really great to be rich."

　He muttered something in a low voice, his tone revealing the bitterness and jealousy that could not be hidden.

　"I want to be rich like this too! I can go play with women whenever I want!"

　Having said that, this is just an ordinary complaint.

　Just at this moment, as soon as the words fell, the passerby heard a cold voice in his ear: "Then go and rob them, both the money and the good women, go and rob them."

　ah? what's the situation?

　A cold sweat immediately broke out on the passerby's forehead. Could it be that he was too exhausted from work recently and was hallucinating?

　"Let me fulfill your heart's desire."

　It happened so quickly that he felt a sharp pain in his heart, causing his chest to heave violently, as if something was brewing, churning, and burning some deep-seated emotion within him!

　A strange black mist suddenly burst out from his chest!

　The mist rolled and twisted, as if pulled from desire, and madly rushed towards the building that symbolized wealth and pleasure. The walls of the hotel suddenly began to undulate and expand, as if some dormant creature had been awakened.

　"I!"

　The glass windows shattered and turned into pairs of jealous eyes. The marble steps at the door bulged like a spine. The entire building actually let out a dull roar, and its huge body rose from the ground while shaking!

　"I!"

　It turned its head and looked around, staring at the guests who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing famous watches, and who had to be stunned. A greedy light burned in the empty window sockets.

　"I want!"

　The next second, the huge monster stretched out a giant hand made of cement and steel bars and swung it towards the wealthy guests around it!

　Are you kidding me?! Love hotel stands up and kills people!?

　Fortunately, at the critical moment, a figure appeared through the air.

　Qi always wakes up at an astonishing speed.

　The ground beneath his feet was shattered. He almost flew through the storm-like airflow and punched the monster that rose from the ground! The brilliance of the thunder illuminated the night sky, like a judgment from the sky!

　boom! !

　Lightning flashed as his fist slammed into the monster's torso! The reinforced concrete caved in like foam under this punch.

　"I want!"

　The entire monster building let out a dull roar and was repelled by the power of thunder!

　The huge body created a strong wind, the shock wave caused the surrounding street lamps to shake violently, and the window glass was shattered all over the ground!

　The guests who were nearly crushed by the monster were still in shock. They sat on the ground with pale faces and unbelievable fear in their eyes.

　Qi Xing slowly stood up, glanced at the monster in front of him that was still twisting, tumbling and roaring, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

　"interesting."

　There was a familiar aura about this monster, an aura that they had seen before Qi woke up.

　The night before, when he first saw Jin Gorin, dressed as a bad girl, beating up some thugs at the abandoned docks, the monster that emerged from the thug leader... seemed to have the same aura.

　But last time, the monster was a pure spiritual being, but this time it possessed a physical body.

　Possessed in a hotel building!

　071: Don’t be so weird, okay?

　Elaine was not idle.

　When Qi Xing's Thunder Fist blasted back the rising love hotel, she had also quickly driven away all the frightened guests.

　But since the love hotel with more than ten floors has turned into a monster, it is natural that many people will be trapped inside.

　They are more than just hostages.

　The thunder fist had just struck, knocking the rising love hotel building back a few steps and shattering the reinforced concrete and floor slabs, when Qi Xing heard many unspeakable and indescribable noises coming from inside the building.

　Are you kidding me? The love hotel is uprooted and people are being beaten up, and they're still in there ██?!

　However, before Qi Xing could complain, he discovered that the situation had changed again.

　"I……"

　After being hit by "Rip Master", the body of this huge architectural monster tilted, the cracked walls collapsed, the steel bars twisted, and the glass fell like rain - but it did not fall down. Instead, it emitted a low and strange tremor, like a giant beast licking its wounds in the dark.

　"I want……"

　A strange, pink mist immediately began to rise from the walls, windows, and even the cracked floorboards. Like a rolling heat wave, it overflowed from the bodies of the hotel's ecstatic guests, then was devoured madly by the monstrous building itself!

　In an instant, the cracked walls pieced themselves together, the broken beams connected themselves, and the twisted

192

　The bent steel bars reorganized themselves like nerves, and the broken glass flowed back to its original place like mercury... The building, which was originally a dead object, was actually regenerating at super-speed, just like a flesh and blood body!

　"I want a big █ 特 █!"

　Furthermore, the monstrous building's exterior was rapidly changing as it was being repaired. The once cold exterior gradually became organic and twisted, with crimson veins of light coursing through its surface, bulging like the blood vessels in Bo Qishi's body, emitting an uncanny aura.

　So now it is obvious that the trapped guests are using their vast apricot jade to provide energy for this monsterized love hotel!

　"I've only seen super villain battle robots powered by apricot jade in the US before. This is the first time I've seen an animated building that can actually climb up from apricot jade."

　Qi Xing clenched his fists, thinking about where to strike.
