Chapter 870: If You Don’t Try It, I Won’t Be Able to Live with Myself!

It surely couldn’t be that bad, could it?

Sir Aiwen let out a gasp at the dazzling golden light. His gaze then fell curiously on the device in Lynn’s hand. It gleamed gold and looked brand-new, as if it had just been made.

“So it’s repaired already? Your ability really is something else.”

Without thinking, he took the thing from the vacant-looking Lynn’s hands.

He examined it carefully for a moment.

Then he pressed the switch on it. The instrument instantly clicked and transformed into a pair of precision-engineered mechanical glasses, exactly as they had looked before they broke.

“I’ll try it.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Sir Aiwen reached out, fitted the device over his eyes, and prepared to activate it.

But Lynn snapped back to his senses. Remembering the spiritual spray he had repaired the previous night, he felt a sudden sense of impending doom. His expression changed dramatically, and he stretched out a hand.

“Wait!! Big Brother Aiwen!! Don’t try it so casually…”

But it was already too late.

Click—

Sir Aiwen had already entered a random search keyword and activated the device he had made.

The keyword he entered was simple: just “Night Doctor.” Once operating normally, the device would activate and automatically search for anything related to that term within a radius of several dozen kilometers. The reason they had eventually stopped using it so often was, first, that its location tracking wasn’t very precise, and second, that there was a high chance of being discovered, making it unsuitable for intelligence work.

But Night Doctors were everywhere in Nightfall City.

So this device ought to have no trouble finding them.

Rattle, rattle—

In an instant.

A faint red light shone from the device’s lenses as it activated.

And in that very moment, an image took shape within the lenses. It seemed to be working countless times more efficiently than it had before being repaired, and even Sir Aiwen couldn’t help feeling surprised. The search function was so much better after the repair than in his original version.

This thing really was impressive!

And then, the next moment.

The image came into focus. A steady rush of water rang in his ears, and the scene before him seemed to grow misty.

Sir Aiwen stared blankly, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

Judging by the surroundings revealed inside the device, why did it feel so much like…

And just as he hesitated—

Amid the rushing water, one after another, naked female Night Doctors carrying their black robes climbed out of the mist-shrouded bath, chatting and laughing. In an instant, they appeared in the device’s field of view.

Buzz—

Sir Aiwen’s gaze went blank.

The women, chatting as they scrubbed their long hair, were about to walk this way when they suddenly seemed to notice something. They all froze, then instinctively looked in the direction of Sir Aiwen’s viewpoint.

“...”

A brief silence.

Then, as if he were truly standing right there, every female Night Doctor let out a piercing scream and clutched her chest.

“There’s a pervert!!!”

“What’s going on?! Sir Aiwen, why are you here?! This is the women’s bathhouse, Sir!”

“Wait!! Why would Sir Aiwen come here to peep?! Catch the pervert!! o(≧口≦)o There’s a super-pervert pretending to be Sir Aiwen!!”

Sir Aiwen’s face instantly became (ΩДΩ)!!

He immediately grabbed at the device, which seemed to have grown right onto his eye sockets, and tried with all his might to pull it off.

Something was wrong!

There was something wrong with this machine!!

At that very moment, inside a women’s bathhouse somewhere in Nightfall City, a translucent holographic image identical to Sir Aiwen stood stark naked before a group of female Night Doctors huddled together and screaming. At a glance, it looked as though a perverted peeping tom had actually broken into the women’s bathhouse in Nightfall City.

There was a problem!!

There was a huge problem with this damn device!!

Usually composed, Sir Aiwen was truly losing it this time. With Lynn and several other Roots staring at him in bewilderment, he frantically tried to wrench the device off his eye sockets. Every hair on his body stood on end, and he looked as if he were about to fall apart.

Because as a Nine-Cross Veteran second only to the Matriarch in Nightfall City, he had always been a dignified, refined, and reliable figure in the eyes of the Night Doctors there.

And now his image had been projected straight into the women’s bathhouse.

What was this supposed to be!!

“Get it off!! Get it off!! Oh my god!!”

Seeing Sir Aiwen clutch the device on his eye sockets and yank it this way and that as if he were about to fall apart, Lynn immediately realized that he must have badly tampered with it.

Lynn reacted quickly.

He charged straight toward Sir Aiwen, his face twisted (╬皿╬), grabbed the device attached to his eye sockets, and shouted as he strained to pull it free.

“Sir Aiwen! Don’t worry! I’ll help you!!”

Clack—

With a loud bang,

the combined force of Lynn and Sir Aiwen finally tore the device away from Sir Aiwen’s eye sockets.

After it came off, Sir Aiwen sat there with a vacant stare, breathing heavily. Slowly, he reached up and clutched his head, murmuring:

“Something’s wrong… There’s something wrong with this device…”

He had clearly searched for the words “Night Doctor.”

But.

Why had the device sent the image straight to a place where so many female Night Doctors were bathing?!

And even if it had, why had it projected his holographic image there too?!

Something fishy was going on!

But that wasn’t what worried him most right now. What he feared was that tomorrow’s Nightfall City news might run a headline like, “Respected Sir Aiwen Caught Peeping in Women’s Bathhouse, Flees in Panic After Being Discovered!” If that happened, he’d be done for!

“Sir Aiwen, are you all right?”

Clutching the device, Lynn hurried over and asked with a deeply furrowed brow:

“What did you see? I was just about to tell you, I did repair it, but I think I also tinkered with it. Did you see something extremely depraved?!”

Sir Aiwen slowly raised his head and replied stiffly:

“Something depraved? No, it was quite peaceful. Why don’t you try it and see for yourself?”

Lynn stiffened, sensing that something was off. “Um… maybe I should pass… Seeing your condition, I don’t really dare…”

But before he could finish speaking,

Sir Aiwen had already grabbed the device, pinned Lynn down with a series of clicks, and, gritting his teeth, forcefully pressed it against his eye sockets.

“No, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. You repaired it, so of course you should try it yourself. Don’t be shy!!”

“Wait!! Why would Sir Aiwen come here to peep?! Catch the pervert!! o(≧0≦)o There’s a super-pervert pretending to be Sir Aiwen!!”

“No thanks! I really don’t think I need to! Big Brother, now that you know what’s wrong, there’s no need for your Little Brother to try it too…”

“Try it! You have to try it! If you don’t, I won’t be able to live with myself! (╬皿╬)!”

“?!!!”

(Pressing...)

(Struggling...)

(Pressing harder...)

Click—

Finally, with a loud bang, Lynn was unable to struggle free. Sir Aiwen forcibly clamped the instrument over his eye sockets and activated it on the spot!
