The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 131

SHEN JI YUN, from where he had been standing in the shadows, had never taken his eyes away from Luo Yan since he entered the cell.  It had been ten minutes and the rabbit had only been talking to one girl – the one wearing a yellow robe.  He's probably collecting information.  

Shen Ji Yun, of course, was not staring just because he couldn't take his eyes away from the rabbit.  Well, a small part of it was probably indeed that.  Who wouldn't want to look at beautiful people?  Although, he's not really the type to take notice of people's physical appearance.  Especially since it's hard for him to remember a person's face, no matter how beautiful that person was.  But Luo Yan seemed to be a special case.  Since the day they met, he readily remembered his face.  As if his every features had been branded in his brain. 

But the real reason he was staring right now was because he was waiting for the rabbit to give him a signal.  A signal whether to take one of the girls into interrogation or take him out of the cell.

Then he saw the rabbit raising his hand and covering his mouth with his sleeve as if coughing.  And that's his signal.  Luo Yan was telling him to get him out of there.  So he moved, getting out of the shadows.

Shen Ji Yun opened the cell.  "You, go out," he said coldly, looking at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan still acted proudly and then tried to put strain between his eyebrows so he would look like he didn't want to go but still had to follow.  

When he was about to step forward, Guiying suddenly held his sleeve.  "Shishi-"

"It's okay.  Just stay here," Luo Yan said before she finished her line.  

He pulled his sleeve back and continued walking forward.  Before he could walk out, Zhenya suddenly cut him off and suddenly held onto Shen Ji Yun's arm.

"This gentleman, please, let me out.  I didn't know anything about what happened.  Please," she said, pleading and crying.  And she cried quite beautifully too.  Being an NPC, she practically had no flaws physically speaking.

Seeing Zhenya clinging to Shen Ji Yun like some koala, Luo Yan couldn't help but frown a little.  Was this NPC actually programmed to be this annoying?  He was about to say something when Shen Ji Yun ruthlessly pushed the NPC away, making Zhenya crashed down, butt first, on the floor.  Luo Yan was speechless for a bit.  He should have known this guy wasn't the type to pity the jade.

Then Shen Ji Yun clutched Luo Yan's arm and pulled him out of the prison cell. 

"You know, I think you hurt Zhenya back there quite a bit," he teased when they started walking.

"I don't like others touching me, human or NPC alike," Shen Ji Yun just said.

"Then… are you alright pulling me like this?" Luo Yan asked, talking about the hand that was currently holding his arm.  Indicating that he was basically touching him.

"You're not others," Shen Ji Yun said very simply.    

Luo Yan only managed to say, "I see."

Really, what else could he say?  He couldn't actually tell him that he was moved and that what he said actually made him a bit happy.

"What information did you get from that NPC you were talking to?" Shen Ji Yun asked.  

"Not much.  She just proved our guess that the Kingdom of Wei was in the center of this conspiracy.  And oh, that Yuexing Pavilion was definitely involved.  Turns out Madam Ru is not only an owner of a courtesan house, she also groomed some of the girls as Wei spies," Luo Yan said.  "On that note, we should really talk to her.  Is there a torture chamber here?"

"Torture chamber?" Shen Ji Yun asked to make sure that he heard it correctly.  They were just talking about this 'Madam Ru' and then the rabbit suddenly mentioned a torture chamber.  So he was a bit confused.

"We'll interrogate her there.  The grim surrounding would definitely add to the atmosphere, don't you think?" Luo Yan said, grinning all mischievously.

Looking at the rabbit's grin, Shen Ji Yun suddenly had an urge to pinch those cheeks.  He suddenly remembered the time they met.  He couldn't help but pinch his cheek then.  Even now, he could still remember the feel of that soft cheek.  Like marshmallows.

He shook his head hard.  Was this really the time to think about those things?  No.  Most definitely not.  It seemed like whenever he's with Luo Yan, his thoughts always went astray.  

"There's a torture chamber at the very end of this corridor if I remember it correctly," he just said.

Before the banquet started, Shen Ji Yun canvased most of the parts of the manor.  That included the dungeon.  He thought it would be useful to solving whatever Mystery this door would throw at the players. 

It was easy for him to enter and go through different areas in the manor because of one of his Temporary Skills – [Unlock].  He could open any keys he wanted which included locked doors.

When they entered the said torture chamber, Luo Yan looked interestingly around.  There were chains, a chair with blades attached to it, something that looked similar to an iron maiden, there were even spikes and whips lying around.  He even saw a set of knives on the corner.  

Well, this was definitely very grim looking.  A lot of gory images came to mind just by standing here.  Then Luo Yan remembered the task he did when applying for his Assassin class.  That scene when that maid was cooking those dismembered body parts.  Nope.  Nothing could definitely be gorier than that.

He suddenly thought of an idea.  He turned to Shen Ji Yun and raised both his hands towards him.  In a matter as if he's asksing to be handcuffed.  

"Brother Ji Yun, could you tie me up, please?"
