Chapter 887: Is He Really Worth That Much?

Splash!

The tentacle Lynn had thrust into his mouth instantly grew several times thicker. It swelled so much that the whites of the Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s eyes rolled into view, and his body writhed and gurgled nonstop.

Even under Yin Yi’s vacant gaze, the Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s belly began to swell.

Obviously,

that swollen tentacle was stirring around inside his stomach.

This...

So this was how they fought in hell...

Wasn’t this a little too gross?! (；≧д≦)!

Mr. Lynn!! You have to stay calm!! If this keeps up, Mr. Lynn, you’re only going to seem less and less like a normal human!!

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s fear of you has increased by 10】

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s fear of you has increased by 15】

Lynn solemnly pulled out his Demon Hunter Revolver, clicked off the safety, then smiled as he aimed at the creature’s enormous eye. Pinching his Monocle, he said:

“Let’s skip the small talk. I have a few things to ask you. If you obediently tell me everything, we can become very good friends. But if you refuse or leave anything out, I’ll treat you to a bullet. So, shall we get started?”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid struggled frantically in terror.

Lynn said kindly, “First question. What are you doing here?”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid let out a string of frightened, muffled sounds. His eyeball kept bulging as he desperately shook his head in terror.

“You’re not talking?”

Lynn looked surprised.

“What guts! You’re a real man!”

Bang!

A bullet radiating a holy aura shot right past his scalp, leaving a dark bullet hole in the wall behind him.

(ΩДΩ) WAAAAAAAH!!!

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s fear of you has increased by 15!】

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s fear of you has increased by 20!】

Lynn tilted his head and blew the smoke from the muzzle. “Huh? I missed? Looks like you’re pretty lucky. This time, I’ll aim somewhere else.”

Slowly,

under the Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s horrified gaze, Lynn closed one eye, carefully lowered the barrel, and aimed at his (beep).

“Ugh!! Ah!! Ughhh!!”

Keeping his aim, Lynn said, “Second question. What did you have to do with the Summoning incident in Wandering Souls Alley a few days ago? And who was summoned to the other world?”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid shook his head frantically in terror. The swollen tentacle in his mouth swayed along with it.

“Ugh!! Ugh, ugh!!”

Lynn paused. “Still not talking? You’re one tough customer. You really are one of the rare creatures in the Flesh and Blood Cult with an unshakable character! Impressive!”

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out.

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s fear of you has increased by 40!!】

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s psychological state has changed from “Fear” to “Collapse.” You have gained 100 base experience points.】

He (ΩДΩ) shook his head even faster, tears streaming down from his enormous eyeball. And it wasn’t just tears. His burned (beep) was leaking uncontrollably too, as if he’d wet himself.

【Ding! You scared your target into wetting himself. You have gained 2 experience points. Please exercise restraint.】

Lynn praised himself.

He quickly waved a hand and pulled him a little farther away.

“Ah, my aim is terrible. How do I keep missing? Maybe I should take a few more shots…”

He calmly and unhurriedly twirled his revolver, elegantly stuck his pinky into the barrel and wiggled it around, then closed one eye and peered haphazardly into the barrel.

Behind him, Yin Yi instinctively swallowed. Looking dazed, she instinctively poked him on the shoulder and said, looking aggrieved:

“Mr... Mr. Lynn... I think...”

Bang!

The revolver went off by itself.

Lynn’s body lurched in his wheelchair. The bullet grazed his eyeball, curved around, and shot into the Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s leg, spraying a large amount of blood. The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s throat let out a shrill, (ΩДΩ)-filled cry.

Yin Yi cried out in terror, “Mr. Lynn!! I... I didn’t mean to!!”

Lynn rubbed his exasperated eyeball, popped it out, and wiped it with his Handkerchief. He said:

“I was inspecting the barrel. Don’t go poking me then! Bullets don’t have eyes. One accidental discharge and you could lose half your life.”

Yin Yi’s teeth chattered with fright. (；≧д≦) She said, “S... sorry. I just wanted to say... do you think it’s possible that if someone’s mouth is blocked, they can’t answer your questions...?”

Across from them, the Flesh and Blood Humanoid struggled helplessly, frantically bobbing his head in terror. His voice sounded so broken and close to tears that he might shatter at any moment.

Lynn froze. “Is that so...?”

Of course it was!

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid wailed through his throat.

You came in and stuffed my mouth and stomach full of tentacles, then kept firing shots! At least give me a chance to speak! I’ve been trying my hardest to answer you! Don’t keep shooting here and then there. How am I supposed to answer when you keep going bang, bang, bang?!

Yin Yi said, looking aggrieved, “Y... yes...”

Lynn made an “Ohhh” expression of sudden realization. Then, in an instant, his face turned serious.

“I was doing it on purpose.”

The sobbing Flesh and Blood Humanoid went still, dazed. His mind buzzed, and his whole body turned ashen.

It was as if a sword had been driven straight through his heart.

【Ding! The target’s psychological state has changed from “Collapse” to “Shattered.” You have gained 200 base experience points.】

Yin Yi was frozen too.

S-so that’s what it was...

But could a benevolent creature really toy with someone else this skillfully...?

He couldn’t possibly still be human!

That was the sort of heart-crushing thing only an utterly chaotic creature could do!

o(╥﹏╥)o!

Mr. Lynn, could you act a little more normal?! This is too chaotic! Way too chaotic! Even Yin Yi’s getting scared now! Ugh!

Lynn then smiled and gurgled as he pulled the tentacle out of the Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s mouth. He lifted him up in front of himself, clicked off the safety, and pressed the barrel of the gun against his teeth. He said warmly:

“Go on, good boy. Answer those first two questions I asked you. We’ll take them one at a time. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. The only thing you’ll experience here is love.”

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s SAN has decreased by 20】

【Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s SAN has decreased by 25】

He stared blankly at the monster in front of him, who was gently stroking his head, and said:

“We... we’re intelligence agents from the Flesh and Blood Cult... We came here mainly for two reasons... First, we were ordered... ordered to investigate a humanoid fiend named ‘Lynn.’ He’s in the Cursed City... and he caused catastrophic damage to my god’s plan... So we were ordered to collect everything we could about... about him...”

Lynn blinked.

Then, wearing an exceptionally warm and friendly smile, he moved his eyeball closer and asked in a soft voice:

“Have you found out anything?”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid trembled all over in terror, tears pattering down. He said:

“N-not yet... We haven’t found him... Sob...”

Lynn blinked, then leaned in to whisper, “I see. Then could you quietly tell me how much that Lynn is worth within your organization? If someone kills him, what kind of reward would they get?”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid said, looking aggrieved, “If you bring back his head... probably five million Skeleton Coins...”

Buzz—

Lynn was stunned. His mind went completely blank.

“H-how much? Say that again?!”

Behind him, Yin Yi instinctively swallowed. Looking dazed, she instinctively poked him on the shoulder and said with a panicked expression:

“...”

Lynn murmured.

He let go of the Flesh and Blood Humanoid.

His breathing gradually grew faster.

Then, under Yin Yi’s wide-eyed, rigid stare,

he shakily pulled a mirror from his clothes and held it in front of himself. He stared, blank and murmuring, at the head reflected in the mirror.

“I... I’m worth that much...?”
