Chapter 500 - 11.26 First Green Star - Haunted Asylum (15)

As soon as the pair of players and their managers entered the room, they felt like they were pulled into another dimension altogether. The interior of the room is not affected by the movie venue's authority and this sole hospital room remained the same. This is indeed one of the rooms in the hospital they are currently in.

When the movie had begun a certain power enveloped a part of the original hospital and turned it into a game scenario location. But it is a scenery that is created in a mirror world, making the whole venue of the Haunted Asylum connected to the real hospital where original and players in the abyssal world go to.

What stunned them is that there's another handsome man sitting on the edge of the bed with a cigarette between his thin lips. He is wearing black pants and military boots. Charcoal gray shirt and a long black trench coat. His long black hair was tied up behind him and his monochromatic eyes made them shiver as one of his eyes was black and the other was red. Surrounded by a dangerous aura around him they felt like a pack of sheep before a tiger.

The smog coming from this cigarette half-hidden his face yet his cold stares made An Yuan's legs soften. He felt that if Hei Anjing is like a snow leopard who looks so beautiful yet dangerous then this man is a tiger. His whole being emitted the presence of danger and bloodthirst.

Gulps!

The two managers plus one player An Yuan all unconsciously hid behind Han Ya who is stronger than any of them. What they didn't know was that right now even Han Ya in the presence of this man is so tense that his muscles had all stiffened before this man. He felt that he was standing before his creator, the Evil God himself.

Puff~

Manager Tian, who loves following news about players, recognized who the man on the bed is. He is the most powerful player in the abyssal world. The Top 1 player known as Abyss, is Lou Yan. This is Yan Lou's human identity.

"Yue, who are these brats?" asked Lou Yan pretending not to know them. He looks fierce and aggressive as if he wants to end them all.

System Yue: [My lord, they are newbie players from the same batch as Lord Hei's.]

System Yang: [They are the ones who are going to enter the group contract with master and you, Lord Yan.]

[A/n: Yan Lou will be called Lou Yan in every game.]

"Hm~ since my wife had chosen them then it will do." said the Evil God pretending to be a player.

historical

Puffs~

Lou Yan narrowed his eyes as he puffed his cigarettes. Then suddenly Manager Tian who recognized him suddenly screamed.

[AAAAHHHH!!!]

Manager Gui: [What's wrong with you whitey? Suddenly screaming like that!]

[Gui Gui, do you not recognize him!? He is Abyss. The strongest human player in the Abyssal World!!]

[Oh shit! It's for real!!? The real abyss!]

System Yue: [You guys are so noisy!]

On the other hand, Yang was informing his creator about his master.

[Milord, Master is about to finish his bath. You should finish your cigarette.]

"What!?"

Lou Yan panicked for a moment when he suddenly heard the sound of the lock clicking from the direction of the bathroom and looked at the half-lit cigarette between his fingers. It was already too late to hide him from his wife and look around to hide it somewhere. Then he spotted Han Ya and placed the little tobacco in the latter's hand.

With a serious face on his face, Lou Yan said, "Remember it was you who was smoking, not me."

Han Ya could only wordlessly nod his head and stare at the cigarette between his fingers in dazed. He doesn't know how he reacts as he doesn't understand what is happening.

It was only until they saw a Hei Anjing fresh out from the bath that they could still see the steams coming from the bathroom. Only to see his exquisite face slightly scrunched when he smelled the aroma of the tobacco that they understood, especially when his cold voice resounded inside the room.

Hei Anjing asked coldly, "Who dares to smoke in my bedroom? Do you want to die?"

Slightly burned from the falling ash of the half-lit cigarette, Han Ya incidentally threw the cigarette on the bed and everyone watched as the blanket and even the bedsheet started burning.

Hissed!

The two panicking managers, Gui and Tian. [AH! Fire! There's fire! The bed is burning!!!]

Lou Yan had to extinguish it using his skill to control fire. And the room was almost covered in smoke. Everyone had all unconsciously looked at Lou Yan who originally owned that stick of cigarette. With a single wave of his hands, the fire was immediately gone. He was hesitating to look at his wife right now.

"Wife, I..." calls Lou Yan. He looks so pitiful like a puppy who is begging for treats.

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, "No kiss for one week."

"Wait I can explain..."? But all he received is a scary glare from his wife who hates the taste of tobacco when kissing.

Lou Yan's face looks as if the world is ending before him. He looks so gloomy and pitiful as Hei Anjing chooses to ignore him.

Wearing white long sleeve clothes with an open chest that could be concealed as long as the thread was pulled over paired with pants and sneakers. His chest area was a bit too open allowing everyone to see dark red flames like patterns on his collar bone. His skin is so white that the blood-red edges black tattoo look so gorgeous on him. Everyone couldn't help but take a second look at his neck area.

Everyone recognized this fire tattoo as a marking left behind by top-level players to their enemies or spouse. In this case, it was the former and obviously, the one who left such a clear mark is none other than Lou Yan, someone, who was known as an abyss in this world.

Manager Tian nudged Manager Gui beside him and whispered, [Isn't that the soul marking? It was this clear and solid. Do you think they...]

[Shss! Hold your tongue! Do you want to get killed!?] whispered back, Manager Gui.

[I was only asking. Since its red and black shade is Lou Yan a human or a monster. Monsters have black markings while players have elemental colors. His imprint had two shades. Is it possible that he is not human? I mean look at you player. Didn't he receive the same kind of mark from my boss?]

[Shut up! If becoming a mute would save your life then do it!] said Manager Gui who posted a silencing talisman on Manager Tian making all sounds from his mouth blocked by the spell.

Hei Anjing started the conversation after asking the other to take a seat. Two couches and a small table at the center were prepared by System Yang for their discussion about the group channel. An ordinary level Group contract appeared in front of four players.

An ordinary level contract is able to bind four players together in a game. There are also four fountain pens beside each contract all members are allowed to put at most two conditions each before the contract is sealed.

System Yue spoke, [Let me explain what are the advantages and disadvantages of the group shared channel contract.

Advantages:

- Players that are bound by the contract can share missions and rewards with each other. As for how to split the rewards the members can all talk about it before writing the result of your agreement to the contract on the reward option in the contract. Rewards are multiplied.

- Everyone's name under the contract is protected by it. It would show a glowing name written on the contract as long as the member is alive regardless of distance, time, or space. Once the glow in the name faded it means that the member is dead and his or her name would fade from the contract book.

- This is important. You must point out one leader on the list. He would hold the contract and would only pass on the next one once he died in this world.

Disadvantages:

- Punishments are shared as a group as well. Since it's a must to complete two-thirds of all main missions, failure to do so would lead to everyone being pulled to enter the Massacre Game. It is an insane mode with 99 percent casualties. The only good side is that the rewards are abundant.

In short two thirds of the ordinary contract means for the four main missions you guys would have you need to complete three of four. If it's less then it would be punishment time.

- A poorly written well contract will have pits. The abyssal council would definitely use these loopholes just to eliminate players. Be careful.

That's all. Now you are given a pen to write the conditions you wanted to propose to the group and before the signing ceremony, the group can talk about the details among yourselves. Only after the final decision was made that us managers would be your witnesses for this contract signing.]

Hei Anjing picked up the contract and casually wrote his own conditions. As he did so he said something that surprised everyone.

"Since it is like that then does everyone have someone to become the leader of this group? By the way, I don't want to be the leader since I am lazy. If the leader gave orders and they are reasonable then I would comply but if it is nonsense then just not speak about it at all~" said Hei Anjing.

Lou Yan took his contract and gave it to his wife to will it up for him. With this Hei, Anjing can write four conditions on his own. Han Ya also did the same thing and gave his contract to An Yuan. For the latter's case Manager Gui had made a soft copy and showed it in his mind. He is also writing the four conditions for him and Han Ya

Conditions are written by Hei Anjing and Lou Yan.

- We will never accept a death order.

- Order which will result in our partners' or lovers' ugly end would also be ignored.

- All orders and decisions must be concise and reasonable, if not we are able to refuse to do anything.

- Asking personal secrets isn't allowed.

---

Conditions are written by An Yuan and Han Ya.

- In danger, everyone must work together to save the other.

- Traitors are to be killed.

- One must share healing props or skills during intense situations. Work together as a team.

- The goal is to return to reality.

Everyone was reading the newly written conditions on the contract but everyone's attention had fallen on the last condition An Yuan had written.

Hei Anjing said "This last condition might be a bit hard~. After all, I am planning to live in the Abyssal Realm with my husband for this lifetime."

"Um~ I will take good care of you," said Lou Yan as he hugs his wife from behind and kisses his neck, and leans his head on his shoulders. Now Hei Anjing is seated directly on Lou Yan's lap.

At this scene Manager Gui and Manager Tian had both turned red. It's been a while since they had met such a cheesy and shameless couple. They are not blind not to see the hickeys peeking under their clothes.

'[T-This couple is too sickeningly sweet!]'

Only Han Ya promised An Yuan, "I promised to bring you back to reality, A'Yuan. Regardless of whatever must be done, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

An Yuan was so happy that he hugged Han Ya. He had been wanting to return to reality. Though he wasn't obsessed with returning, his real world is still there.

"Let's return together, Xiao Ya~," said the professor.

But unknown to him and since he couldn't see at the moment none of the other three were really obsessed with reality. Two were beings originally born in an abyssal world while Hei Anjing is an outsider whose obsession is his husband, only An Yuan still yearns for the reality he had always known.

An Yuan waited for too long to hear Han Ya's reply but the man only hugged him in his warm embrace without saying a word.
