Quick Transmigration: Picked Up By Stud Horse System - 13 Love or Life 13

Two days…

She only needs to stay alive in two days, after that she’ll be freed from this goddamn place!

Xi Sheng looks outside the window that no one can reach. The moonlight lits the room, although beautiful and reassuring, it increases the worry of the uncertainty.

Mu Zhan offered her to sleep in a cozier room however Xi Sheng refused. She’ll rather sleep on the couch rather than the room designated for insane people!

Xi Sheng:”I want to sleep…”

Even though I slept for half a day, chemical induced sleep is still different from normal sleep.

008:”Sleep then.”

Xi Sheng shakes her head:”Can’t. Too scared.”

008:”…”

Don’t sleep then!

Xi Sheng:”The first-night effect[1] is truly uncomfortable.”

008:”Can’t you just close your eyes? Even if you can’t absolutely sleep, at least your body will somewhat rest.”

Xi Sheng relaxes her body and submerged herself into the smooth and thick comforter. She closes her eyes and did what 008 recommended.

Tik.. Tok… Tik… Tok…

Xi Sheng opened her eyes and murmured:”The clock’s sound is rather frightening, don’t you think so?”

008:”S.L.E.E.P.”

We, systems, also need to sleep okay?! If you cannot sleep, then don’t disturb others’ sleep!

Xi Sheng closed her eyes again and attempted to sleep.

When half of an hour passed by, her subconsciousness started to flow and swirl in a bottomless abyss.

Creaakk¬¬¬

In a quiet room, the sound of the slowly opening door was enough to alarm Xi Sheng who’s weariness turns into anxiousness.

Xi Sheng:”System… someone is here…”

008 became vigilant after hearing the minute and careful footsteps of the intruder:”En[2].”

“First, pretend to asleep. We will only move if he attempts to harm you.”

Xi Sheng nodded.

Unhurried yet creepy steps of the unwanted intruder are coming near wherein the sofa is located, however it unexpectedly halted.

Xi Sheng:”It stopped… Why did it stop?!”

008:”Then, do you want the intruder to suddenly sprint and kill you?! And you will die unknowingly?!”

Seemingly hurt, Xi Sheng bit her lips and said:”Why are you shouting at me?!”

008 covers his face together with his palm, his voice shaking:”You are also shouting at me!”

Mechanical voice that was left speechless:[…]

If the invader is aggresive, I am a hundred-percent sure that the both of you will die without knowing the reason.

…

After thirty minutes of bullshitting with each other, Xi Sheng and 008 are both freaked out.

Xi Sheng:”He is still there, isn’t he?”

008 nodded.

Xi Sheng:”Why is not he moving?!”

008 closed his eyes and cover his ears.

Your next phrases, I don’t wanna hear it.

Don’t say it.

Seriously, just do not.

I’m sure that it’ll affect both of our mental health.

Contrary to his pleas, Xi Sheng blurted the scary reality right into his face.

Horrified, Xi Sheng begins to sweat but nonetheless retaining her sleep act:”Oi, does that imply that he’s been standing there beside me without moving for approximately half an hour?”

008 flinched.

You got that right, but can you please stop already? I won’t give you any perks for guessing that right.

A melodious and timbre voice all at once speaks:”In a white and spacious room, a beautiful maiden is asleep. A thick and fluffy comforter hugging her body, stopping her from feeling bloodless…”

Xi Sheng widens her eyes:”He spoke.”

The intruder kneels down before Xi Sheng, his eyes appreciating the person before him.

“The lady is very lovely, she has an apricot and upturned eye. Her skin is glass-like, without any blemish and pore visible. Her hair may be as compared to the best-great silk cascading in her clean and tender neck…”

Xi Sheng’s ears became crimson in an on the spot:”Ah.. thanks?”

I know that I am very beautiful and attractive.

However, I actually get shy you know?

Also, I am too tired of hearing those phrases. You can use other words to praise me.

008 felt that Xi Sheng is being arrogant right now, being a system that wants their host to be down to earth, 008 exclaimed:”Beauty attracts death.”

Xi Sheng:”Correction: danger not death…”

008 shakes his head:”Danger means you could escape, however can you even get away when a madman is praising your beauty?”

“Who could have thought that her astonishing head is disconnected from her body? That when you take out the comforter, blood gushes out due to the mutilation of her neck? Is not that a remarkable story?”

The man laughs eerily that despatched goosebumps to Xi Sheng and 008.

The man put his lips into her ears and whispers:”I told you to simply wait, and I will fucking kill you hehe.”

Badump! Badump! Badump! Badump!

The memory of a certain nutjob entered her memory.

Its that motherfucker who threatened her!

The patient who mouthed that—!

“Did you miss me?”

Xi Sheng yells in frenzy:”System! He will kill me.”

008:”Yes, beauty draws loss of life.”

A sudden cold and sharp object is gently dancing in her neck.

Xi Sheng:”Is that a knife?!”

“This beautiful knife here is my baby. It killed loads of people, and its forte is especially the neck. Your blood will train my baby, be honored.”

I don’t want that fucking honor!

Neck mutilation can be freaking painful!

I don’t want it!

008:”Stay still.”

Xi Sheng:”You… Have a plan right?”

Please inform me that you have.

008:”Good fortune counts as a plan… right?”

Xi Sheng:”Can you even use luck to defend yourself?!”

008 shrugs:”Maybe?”

In spite of making fun of each other, Xi Sheng and 008 never let their guard down in watching and sensing the invader.

If Xi Sheng felt a piece of ache in her neck, she will honestly inflict an injury in return. She doesn’t know how, but one thing is for certain, Xi Sheng will never let the intruder escape without a scratch.

She can at least shorten his lifespan.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Search everywhere! Flip this rattling location upside down!”

Several footsteps rang within the whole area. Series of shouts and painful cries resounded in the entire ward.

The invader turns his head on the door and snorted.

“Those pests! Traitors! Acting as if they are ordinary. Hmp, simply bunch of puppies serving another mad dog and a bitch.”

Xi Sheng:”…”

You are not normal either!

The invader took a chair close by and gets at the top of it. He took off the cover of the air flow duct. Due to its old age, the invader effortlessly pries to open the cord mesh cover.

“Xi Sheng, was it?”

008:”He is aware of your name.”

You ought to be scared to death. I’ll pray for you.

“I planned to offer you a peaceful demise through my blade, however it seems like being played around here is your future.”

Xi Sheng:”…”

I ain’t gonna die!

The invader climb up and disappeared.

Xi Sheng opens her eyes and sits up.

“Why does it feel that I lost a potential comrade?”

008:”Why don’t you escape much like the way he did?”

Xi Sheng walks to the door leisurely and answers 008:”It must be great escaping. Pity that I still need things to do here.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Xi Sheng opened the doorknob and bunch of guys in white fits appeared.

“Excuse us miss, however can we look into the room?”

Xi Sheng steps aside and let the men investigate the room.

After searching the whole room, the man, probably their leader, look at her suspiciously.

“Did someone went here?”

Xi Sheng shrugs:”I’m not sure, I was sleeping.”

008:”Just confess.”

Xi Sheng shakes her head:”What if that shit is still there in the vent? Moving slowly and listening to our conversation? What if he still didn’t leave the parameter and just hiding in some hole?”

008 rolls his eyes:”Your own anxiety will be the one to kill you.”

The man eyed her:”We found a chair leading to the air vent, the mesh cover was broken. The mental escapee probably went there.”

Xi Sheng furrowed her brows:”I said, I was sleeping. How am I suppose to know whether someone went here or not? I’m not a ninja or something.”

The leader with a tear mole in under his left eye clicks his tongue. Another member went to the his side and whispers something.

The leader nodded.

“Since Miss Xi is ‘guest,’ then we won’t disturb you anymore.”

He eyed her once again and smiled. They left her, but two men are guarding outside the room.

Xi Sheng laid again in the soft and comfy couch:”System, why does the word ‘guest’ here sounds threatening?”

…

“Goodmorning Miss Xi. Mr. Mu assigned us to serve you. You may call me Khan. Today’s breakfast consist of…”

Three women wearing maid’s bow their head to her while introducing her food.

“If you need something, just kindly dial the telephone beside the door and state your need. And we will accomplish it immediately,” said the woman called Khan.

Xi Sheng’s eyes twitched.

Why does it feel like I’m a prisoner here with some sort of privelege?!

Now, I understand the meaning of ‘guest’!

“Excuse me, but where is Mu Ziyu?”

Another lady looks at her and gently smile.

That very smile sent chills into Xi Sheng’s whole body.

My dear stupid system! That smile looks terrifying!

“Mr. Mu is currently ‘busy.’ He has a lot of work to do. Please pardon us for being inhospitable.”

Xi Sheng thank them and send them away.

Xi Sheng:”System, should I eat this or not?”

008 looks at the food:”I’m also not too sure…”

What is that? A pill?

What’s that thing moving in the soup?

How come they introduced the food appetisingly, yet the actual food seems…very poisonous?

Is this some kind of expectation vs. reality?
