Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Luo Wei's "interest" in Doctor Lu Yi began at the second crime scene, on the east side of the corridor, when Doctor Lu had a conflict with Xiao Ji, and his shirt clip was pulled off.

At that moment, Luo Wei, who had just been watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, felt his heart sink at the sight of the black shirt clip.

The texture was so similar to the personal item he got from the refresh point—a small whip covered with barbs.

So he took advantage of the chaos to get the shirt clip and quietly compared it with the personal items in his spare equipment slot. After realizing they were made of the exact same material, he cursed under his breath, unable to tell if he felt more relieved or more stifled at that moment.

He was relieved that his target攻略对象, was this doctor named Lu Yi, and the opponent was definitely not a female ghost, because he clearly looked like a real man.

But what frustrated him was that this Doctor Lu Yi looked like a real man!

In his previous instance副本, he had never encountered a boss other than female ghosts. What was wrong with this map that a male boss would appear?

However, on second thought, in this instance副本, there were even Chow Chows bosses, orange cat bosses, chinchilla bosses, and lighter bosses. Randomly getting a male boss was already considered quite normal, so there was nothing much to complain about.

Though Luo Wei appeared to be a reckless, rough man, he was actually someone who could adapt quickly and compromise—otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to stick to his principles after discovering that Shao Ling邵岭 was actually a male maiden男娘.

So, during the short twenty-minute wait outside Doctor Lu's dispensary, Luo Wei had completely convinced himself and readied his small whip, just waiting to lash it at his target character.

However, the target locked himself inside the room, and Luo Wei didn't dare to break in rashly, for fear of alerting the target.

It wasn't until the guild leader会长 arrived at the scene that Luo Wei finally managed to enter Doctor Lu's dark and cramped room with the guild leader's assistance.

The room was airtight, filled with a strong smell of medical disinfectants mixed with the scent of blood and the bitterness of medicines, lingering in the air.

With his eyes closed, Luo Wei focused on playing the role of a "sudden patient," waiting for the moment Doctor Lu finally sat down in front of him, he eagerly placed his hand on the back of the man's hand.

Of course, it wasn't to take advantage of him; it was purely to let the small whip hidden in his sleeve make contact with the man's body.

A.W.: [Detected that your personal item has made extensive contact with target Lu Yi, successfully locking onto this target for you.]

A.W.: [Now conducting compatibility check between the target and your攻略对象...]

A.W.: [Compatibility check complete! Found the correct target!]

A.W.: [Congratulations competitor! Main quest 1, current completion: 100%.]

It worked!

It was indeed him!

Looking at the system prompt in his mind, Luo Wei could hardly refrain from jumping up and leaving the eerie and terrifying villa, rushing back to the refresh point.

Just then, the man next to him spoke softly: "Doctor, is my friend suffering from heatstroke?"

Luo Wei and Doctor Lu both turned to look at the man, their gaze akin to looking at a mental patient.

Heatstroke, seriously.

This was Snow Mountain Villa, and even though the room's heating was sufficient, it was still the dead of winter. With players dressed so scantily, how could anyone suffer from heatstroke?

Luo Wei cursed inwardly; his acting was already terrible, and their guild leader's lying ability was even worse. How could this play continue?

Doctor Lu was quite composed, maintaining a steady smile even after hearing such words, though his gaze at the two became indescribable.

Wen Nan温南, of course, knew that his lie was far-fetched.

But Wen Nan understood very clearly that from the moment Doctor Lu opened the door, Doctor Lu had already seen through their deception, only refraining from exposing them due to some hidden reason.

There was no need for Wen Nan to deliberately make the current lie more convincing; he just needed to draw Doctor Lu's attention so he could continue with his next small action—

As Luo Wei and Doctor Lu both focused on his face, Wen Nan subtly moved his fingers resting on the back of Doctor Lu's hand.

Between his fingers, a small silver needle slipped out, piercing Doctor Lu's skin.

The sting caused Doctor Lu's brow to furrow, and he instinctively pulled his hand back from Wen Nan's fingers, then looked at him suspiciously.

Wen Nan withdrew his hand, stuffing it into his pocket, as if the earlier "prank" had nothing to do with him, smilingly asking, "Doctor, what's wrong? Isn't my friend having heatstroke?"

Doctor Lu retracted both hands, glancing back and forth between the two, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes—

What were these two really up to? Especially this man named Ye Jiu夜九, why did he prick him? Was it poisonous?

Wen Nan's intention was not to poison; he merely wanted to test the other.

To test a character, now the best method would be to use his skill [Mind Reading Technique], but Mind Reading Technique had just been used on Butler Jiang Xueying江雪莹, and was now in cooldown, unable to be activated again.

Thus, he had to settle for an alternative, trying another skill.

The triggering condition for this skill is a bit tricky. Just pricking the target with a needle might give Wen Nan "pain" emotions at most, and possibly not the other kind of emotion.

Nevertheless, Wen Nan decided to gamble.

If successful, he could get the answer directly, making everyone happy.

Even if it failed, he would just wait two hours for [Mind Reading Technique] to cool down, then try again, without any loss.

Yet, Wen Nan hadn't expected it would be so easy, and he guessed right.

Just as Doctor Lu Yi was puzzled, a system prompt sounded in Wen Nan's mind—

9527: [Detected selected target's emotion "pain and pleasure", collecting a total of 1 emotional point for you.]

9527: [Your skill, No Scent of Lust, has taken effect.]

9527: [Detected selected target only has one skill available for stealing...]

9527: [Skill successfully stolen for you: Soul Capture.]

9527: [Soul Capture: Upon the target's physical死肉|体死亡, within 24 hours, absorb the part where the target's soul exists into your own body to acquire their memories, skills, and attributes.]

After reading through the skill description, Wen Nan lightly raised an eyebrow.

It seems the upcoming task will forcibly sweep four players into the fray勉于修罗场?
