Chapter 46 Inferiority Complex
Chapter 46 Inferiority Complex
Time Stands Still
The name of this skill sounds impressive, but its actual effect is just so-so. The range of the time freeze effect is only 5 meters, and it can last for 1 minute.
This is the second time Zhou Wenzhe has used this skill. The main reason is that this skill consumes too much energy, a full 10000 points, which means he can only use it when his energy is full.
Once the skill's duration ends, he will be in a weakened state for the next hour (all attributes are halved), and because all his energy is depleted, he will be unable to use any other skills.
Fortunately, he now has the Five-Colored Stone, which can instantly replenish his energy.
The last time I used this skill was during an assassination mission. I never expected to use it against an unarmed woman today.
One minute is neither a long nor a short time.
How can we solve this problem?
Zhou Wenzhe stared at the motionless Bae Joo-hyun, caught in a dilemma.
This woman not only stole his girlfriend, but also caused him so much trouble.
We can't really make her physically disappear, can we?
Ten seconds passed, and he still hadn't come up with a good solution.
Sigh, this is the first time I've encountered something like this, I don't have much experience in dealing with it, and I'm not really comfortable using those radical methods.
Thirty seconds passed, and Zhou Wenzhe rejected several ideas in his mind.
With the skill about to end, he finally came up with a not-so-good solution.
If she's going to use her innocence to threaten him, what use will her threat be if her innocence is no longer valid?
How can we erase her innocence?
Zhou Wenzhe revealed a slightly wicked expression.
I'm sorry, but you were the one who acted ruthlessly first, so don't blame me for being unjust. Sun Shengwan is a key figure in his main quest, and I can't let you ruin it.
Seeing the fair skin faintly revealed beneath Bae Joo-hyun's unbuttoned clothes, Zhou Wenzhe abandoned his last bit of mercy.
He stood up, walked to Bae Joo-hyun's side, and gently ran his fingers across her cheek, then slowly slid them down to her neck.
One minute is up.
Bae Joo-hyun felt a blur before her eyes, and Zhou Wenzhe was right beside her, with one hand on her neck.
She was completely bewildered. What was going on?
Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I've had too much to drink?
It all seemed so eerie; she was a little scared, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to shout, Zhou Wenzhe covered her mouth with his large hand, and wrapped his other arm tightly around her, restraining her arms. Then he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Zhu Xuan-xi, what you're doing is putting me in a difficult position."
Bae Joo-hyun tried to break free from Zhou Wenzhe's embrace, but she was too weak and couldn't break free no matter what she did. Because of her twisting and turning, the two of them were even pressed closer and closer together.
"You didn't do this because you like me, did you?" Zhou Wenzhe continued, adding some 'psychological suggestion'.
"You're dreaming!" Bae Joo-hyun shouted in her heart.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, there are security cameras in this house. Everything you did just now was recorded. What do you think Seungwan would think if she saw you seducing me like this?" Zhou Wenzhe bluffed Bae Joo-hyun and gently kissed her earlobe.
Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun stood there stunned, completely ignoring Zhou Wenzhe's excessive behavior. She hadn't considered this at all; who wouldn't misunderstand her actions?
At this moment, her defenses were completely broken down, and a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart, causing two lines of tears to slide down her cheeks.
We've lost completely.
Seeing Bae Joo-hyun's distraught appearance, Zhou Wenzhe suddenly had the idea of letting her go, but the idea was only fleeting.
If we don't deal with her today, she'll definitely cause him even bigger trouble in the future.
Then, he picked her up in a princess carry and carried her to the bedroom.
Because of this, Bae Joo-hyun was able to speak again. She glared angrily at Zhou Wenzhe, "What are you doing! Let me go!"
"Do you want to wake them up and let them see us like this?" Zhou Wenzhe smiled slightly. He could now say that he had completely grasped Pei Zhuxuan's weakness.
With just one sentence, Bae Joo-hyun was completely silenced, left only to glare at him resentfully. If the other girls saw this, she would be speechless, not to mention there was surveillance footage.
No matter how you look at it, she was the one who seduced Zhou Wenzhe first.
Entering the empty bedroom, Zhou Wenzhe placed Pei Zhuxuan on the bed, then locked the door and cast a silencing spell inside.
After a while, no matter how loud the noise inside is, it won't reach the outside.
To Zhou Wenzhe's surprise, he had expected Bae Joo-hyun to put up a fierce resistance, but instead she lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Is this resignation to fate?
Seeing Bae Joo-hyun like this, Zhou Wenzhe felt a pang of guilt. Using such methods to deal with a delicate woman was truly despicable.
When did he become this kind of person?
She wasn't a vicious person, nor was she an irredeemable criminal. She just wanted to treat Sun Shengwan a little better. Did she think that would be enough to hurt her?
That's just inhuman.
Does that mean you can use any means necessary to complete a task?
Over the years, he has become somewhat obsessed with this mission system, and his humanity has gradually been worn away.
"Ding, the [Ice Point] mission is complete. Please check your rewards." The system notification interrupted Zhou Wenzhe's thoughts.
His intimacy level with Bae Joo-hyun has dropped to '0'.
Why do I not seem that happy?
Now that the task is complete, there is no need to continue.
Just as he was about to tell Bae Joo-hyun to leave, he saw that she had already taken off the unbuttoned dress, revealing her white underwear underneath.
Then, she looked at Zhou Wenzhe with a very cold gaze, "You must keep this a secret from Shengwan. If you dare to say a single word, I will haunt you even as a ghost."
"You can go now," Zhou Wenzhe waved his hand.
Huh? Bae Joo-hyun looked at Zhou Wenzhe with some surprise. She was a little confused. What did he mean by that?
"Before I regret it."
"What exactly do you want?!" Bae Joo-hyun thought Zhou Wenzhe was playing a trick on her.
"I told you to leave, didn't you understand?" Zhou Wenzhe felt extremely inferior when facing Bae Joo-hyun.
"Hmph, you just want her to misunderstand me. I do like her, but not in the way you think. I only see her as a confidante, a soulmate who can support me when I'm down and upset."
Zhou Wenzhe was already annoyed, and hearing Pei Zhuxuan say these things only made him seem even more like a petty person, and his last bit of patience was completely worn away.
He walked straight over, kissed her lips forcefully, and forcibly tore off the last piece of clothing covering her body.
Zhou Wenzhe then measured her body himself. Bae Joo-hyun's figure was only slightly better than Son Seung-wan's, with limited difference. At most, she was a B-, and needed further improvement.
