Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

"Y-y-you... who let you in... how did you get in?"

Following the voice, Wen Nan looked over and saw a familiar yet strange figure standing on the other side of the living room—

The man was wearing a white lab coat, which was originally pure white but now soaked with dried blood, turning it a brown-black color. His hair was matted with blood, clumped together and messily hanging over his forehead, partially obscuring his eyes.

The man was tall and strong, nearly two meters tall, and in the cramped first-floor living room, he had to bow his head.

Under his tattered lab coat, he wore an exceedingly revealing set of metal armor covered in rivets. On the exposed skin not covered by the armor, several ghastly wounds could be faintly seen, with red flesh turned outward, trembling with his movements.

His hands were adorned with half-finger gloves made of metal chains. In one hand, he held a gun, in the other a mountain axe, and between his teeth, he clenched a military dagger. A mysterious smile hung on his face as he approached the three of them step by step.

Wen Nan looked at him in disbelief, raising an eyebrow slightly, "…Doctor Lu?"

Lu Yi suddenly lifted his head, and upon seeing Wen Nan, the bloodthirsty aura about him dissipated significantly.

"Mr. Ye?"

Even Lu Yi smiled at Wen Nan, but with his face stained with blood, the smile looked anything but friendly, even sinister and terrifying, "What are you... doing here?"

This question, shouldn't it be him asking the opposite? Wen Nan smiled wryly and said, "This is my office."

"Ah," Lu Yi showed a look of sudden understanding, "So this is Mr. Ye's territory? Sorry for the disturbance."

Wen Nan smiled as he walked down from the staircase, raised his hand to point to the only mini double sofa in the living room, gesturing for Lu Yi to sit down, "The place is small, forgive me, Dr. Lu."

The other three members were dumbfounded, not understanding why their president could chat so breezily with a blood-soaked monster.

On the other side, Lu Yi was not reserved, thanked Wen Nan, and then took a step forward to sit on the sofa.

His size now seemed at least two sizes larger than when he was in the Snow Mountain Villa. As he sat on the sofa, it let out a groaning "creak," the armrests on both sides were squashed under his weight.

With a clatter, he dropped the mountain axe to the floor at his feet, rested the hand holding the gun casually on his knee, and used the free hand to retrieve the military dagger from his mouth.

Wen Nan stared at the ceramic knife with a snowflake pattern in his hand, asking, "This..." After thinking for a moment, he swallowed the words "prop" and used another term, "such an important tool of the crime, can you just take it out easily?"

Dr. Lu glanced at the military dagger and gun in his hand, chuckled, "The Snow Mountain Villa met with an accident and was completely destroyed. These few things have lost their original function, they're mine now."

As he spoke, he twirled the military dagger in his hand, "They're all scrapped and useless items now, just decorations for me."

Wen Nan nodded.

It seemed that after he took out the Divine Staff Sheath, the instance of the Snow Mountain Villa indeed no longer existed, and the quest items originally belonging to the instance became the toys of the instance character.

But speaking of which...

"Dr. Lu, why have you come here?"

Wen Nan naturally asked why the instance character could leave his original map.

Surely, like Yu Shouling, he didn't also have an important item to guard that someone took out? It shouldn't be possible; if there were, the Map Detection Eye of Liang Yiming should have detected it earlier.

Lu Yi spoke: "A gentleman signed a guarantee agreement for me, which gave me the opportunity to appear here."

Hearing Dr. Lu's words, the expressions of the three members present varied.

Wen Nan nodded knowingly. Previously, due to the [Soul Capture] skill, Dr. Lu's star level reached twelve and a half stars midway through the instance, which is enough to leave. He just needed a guarantee agreement from the corresponding player to escape being thrown back into the furnace.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan naturally asked, "Which gentleman?"

Dr. Lu's gaze passed Wen Nan and looked at a person sitting on the ground behind him.

Everyone followed his gaze to Li Zhenbei.

Li Zhenbei's teeth were chattering, but at this point, there was no reason to lie, he could only admit, "It was, it was me who signed it..."

"Holy shit!" Luo Wei cursed, grabbed Li Zhenbei's collar, "What the hell were you thinking! Why would you sign out such a pervert! We barely escaped from the Snow Mountain Villa, barely got out of his grasp!"

"Awei..."

Just as Luo Wei was cursing, not far away, Lu Yi called out to him affectionately, which made him shudder. He let go of Li Zhenbei's collar, pointing a trembling finger at Lu Yi's nose, "Don't call me that!"

Lu Yi continued to stare at him, a hint of sorrow in his eyes, "When you say that, it breaks my heart. I forced Mr. Li Zhenbei to sign that agreement just to see you."

"Damn!" Luo Wei picked up the discarded mountain axe from the floor, pointing it at Lu Yi, "If you don't shut up, I'll either split your head open or my own!"

"Don't do that," Dr. Lu easily snatched back the mountain axe, "don't hurt yourself, you're the one I can't let go of the most."

Luo Wei was filled with despair.

Li Zhenbei weakly said, "You saw it too, he's entirely obsessed with you. That last task required the target to never forget him. How will the remaining three of us survive this shared strategy object player with you? I had to agree to sign the agreement to save my life!"

Luo Wei glared at Li Zhenbei, eyes bulging, "You saved your life, but you're going to get me killed!"

Li Zhenbei trembled, "It's, it's not that serious, is it?"

Luo Wei was almost crying, "How is it not serious? The two who did the last two tasks with us, Wang Hao and Zhao Lei, were eaten by this pervert!"

Luo Wei shouted, his voice breaking at the last few words.

Li Zhenbei was so frightened that even the last hint of color drained from his face, "Wha-what?! Wang Hao and Zhao Lei, they, they..."

Even Wen Nan showed signs of surprise this time.

He turned to re-assess the man in the dark red and white lab coat sitting on the couch, those blood stains on his clothes, his face, and his skin weren't just from the villa residents. Were his hands also stained with the blood of players?

Under the gaze of everyone present, Dr. Lu appeared very calm.

His gaze remained fixed on Luo Wei's face, slowly explaining, "Awei, you know the truth isn't like that, why turn everything upside down? Mr. Wang Hao and Mr. Zhao Lei died mysteriously midway due to an accident. I only reclaimed their discarded shells and, using [Soul Capture], kept a part of them with me forever."

He added very earnestly: "I didn't kill them. On the contrary, I'm continuing their lives in my own way."

Hearing Dr. Lu's explanation, the three members present fell silent, staring at this towering "monster" with shock and fear.

Wen Nan also looked at him meaningfully, exclaiming, "Friend, how long has this condition of yours been going on?"
