HISO Chapter 19
by VolareChapter 19: Don’t You Want Me Anymore?
As soon as Yu An finished his last sentence, the broadcast cut off.
[Host.] 089 gave a thumbs up. [How many surprises do you still have that this system doesn’t know about?]
Host is truly bold.
Such a small mouth is too daring.
Openly declaring that he was going to have an affair at the base and even get pregnant, which normal man wouldn’t be driven crazy by such a blatant, green-tinged provocation!
It suddenly became a little afraid that its host’s outrageous words would lead to him being captured and imprisoned by a certain monster.
Yu An: “…”
He had only blurted it out in desperation when he saw the poor signal and couldn’t see Xie Jinsheng’s figure.
He didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that System 089 mentioned it, it did seem to have a bit of a “shameless infidelity deserving punishment” vibe to it.
But for an introverted, taciturn, and emotionally detached antisocial monster like Xie Jinsheng, those words probably wouldn’t have much impact, right?
Yu An sighed.
The next thing to do was wait and see if Xie Jinsheng would show up before the train left.
Honestly, compared to staying here and enduring hardship, he’d rather go to the base.
Unfortunately, the choice was never in the hands of cannon fodder like him.
As he walked down the tower, the soldier Alpha beside him gave him a slightly unnatural look, clearly affected by his last, daring words.
Yu An: “… I had a fight with my boyfriend, he’s a bit temperamental. I said that to provoke him, I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“I understand.” The soldier Alpha paused, introducing himself. “My name is Lin Si, you can call me Vice Captain Lin.”
“Okay, Vice Captain Lin, I’m Yu An.”
Yu An responded, only to see Lin Si staring at him blankly.
His eyelashes fluttered slightly with alertness, and he said a little quickly, “Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’ll go first…”
He looked like he wanted to leave quickly and stay away from him.
In this era, an Omega still needed to be vigilant.
Lin Si snapped back to reality, covered his lips and coughed, “Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any malicious intentions… I just spaced out because you look a lot like my younger brother.”
Yu An hadn’t expected that reason. “Your younger brother?”
“Yes, he had a similar personality to you, but sadly he’s no longer with us, he passed away a few years ago.” Lin Si’s tone slowed down, as if recalling something, and finally he said heavily, “I didn’t even find his body.”
“… I’m sorry for your loss.” Yu An didn’t expect to touch upon his grief.
“It’s alright.” Perhaps due to his military training, Lin Si quickly regained his composure, giving him a special train pass with his personal signature on it.
“If you need anything during the journey, you can come find me in the lounge at any time.”
Yu An understood that the other party’s kindness was mixed with a longing for his deceased brother.
Although he might not even board this train in the end, Yu An still accepted it, giving this long-drifting mourning a temporary resting place.
The moment he turned around, he could feel that Lin Si seemed a little relieved.
After coming down from the tower, Yu An didn’t get on the train. Instead, he stayed in a hidden corner nearby, watching the people who had regained hope because of the broadcast and were boarding the train.
[Host, what are you thinking about?]
“Nothing much.” Yu An said thoughtfully, slowly opening his mouth. “I just suddenly feel that this is truly a doomsday world.”
Before, although he had received information, all the definitions were just cold, lifeless words.
But when the scenes behind those words – the gray sky in the apocalypse, the decadent and disillusioned hearts of the people…
Truly appeared before his eyes.
He clearly realized that everything here, even the plants and trees, was different from the world he used to live in.
Everyone here lived under the tragedy of the era. And tragedy would give birth to tragedy.
…And Xie Jinsheng, as the villain, was he really just destroying this world for the momentary pleasure of revenge?
Yu An waited.
Before he knew it, more than forty minutes had passed.
Xie Jinsheng still hadn’t come.
There were only five minutes left before the train was about to leave.
[Host, it’s not too late to change your mind and get on the train.]
089 was anxious, thinking that Xie Jinsheng was really not a man. His little wife had even said she was going to cheat on him, but he didn’t even come to take a look.
What kind of crazy villain was that? It thought he should just change his name to Ninja Turtle!
“No need.” Yu An said. “This outcome doesn’t surprise me.”
That man was inherently cold-blooded and ruthless. If it were so easy to gain his trust, this wouldn’t be an S-class mission.
Now, the only problem facing Yu An was –
How to survive in the Ruined City.
Maybe if he was clever and had a bit of luck, he could survive tonight.
The sky gradually darkened, and soon it was night, it seemed like there was going to be another heavy rain. Five minutes later, the Ruined City was empty. In the empty road ahead and behind him, the beeping sound of the train about to start could be constantly heard.
Although the result was disappointing, it was also what Yu An had expected.
[Host, don’t be too sad.]
089 comforted him.
Xie Jinsheng was a legendary A who would coldly watch his wife cheat on him!
“It’s alright, it’s not all bad.” Yu An thought seriously, lowering his eyelashes. “At least it proves that my virginity is still intact.”
Xie Jinsheng didn’t even care about this, it seemed that on this journey, he no longer needed to secretly fear that he would be tentacle-played.
089: […]
What a powerful inner core, worthy of being its host.
It shielded the CPU button for fear, and then said to Yu An: [The infected wave is coming tonight, Host, just command me, I’ll hit wherever you point.]
In short, it wouldn’t let the host get hurt.
Although it wasn’t very capable, hovering at the bottom of the system rankings, it was still the only system in the Space-Time Bureau to win the Best Host Protector medal for a hundred consecutive years.
Yu An smiled, suddenly feeling that the road ahead wasn’t so dark after all.
The sound of the train starting cut through the sky.
He walked back alone: “Then 089, let’s go find Xie Jinsheng in the Ruined City first…”
Before he could finish speaking.
Suddenly, his waist was hooked by something sticky.
Yu An was stunned for a few seconds, and when he looked down, he saw a section of dark, greasy tentacle, tightly wrapped around his slender waist, and then pulled him forcefully in one direction.
“Hmm?”
Yu An fell into a solid, familiar chest unexpectedly.
The familiar scent of sandalwood rushed to his nose.
He froze on the spot, turning his head in disbelief to meet those familiar black eyes: “…Xie Jinsheng?”
He couldn’t describe what emotions he was feeling at this moment.
Yu An only felt a tingling sensation in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red. It was both warm and reassuring.
“Hold on.”
Xie Jinsheng said with an unclear expression.
As he spoke, the other side of the tentacle hooked onto the moving train.
– Was he going to take him on the train?
Like swinging on an extremely dangerous swing, Yu An didn’t dare to look anymore, and quickly wrapped his limbs around the Alpha, trembling slightly but not letting go of the person in front of him, looking very trusting.
In the dimness of the doomsday before the rainstorm.
They were tightly close in the wind.
Even their heartbeats synchronized for a moment.
Xie Jinsheng’s Adam’s apple rolled very lightly, and he wrapped his arms around the slender waist, protecting the fragile Omega in his arms.
A minute later, facing the strong wind, they got on the train together.
At that moment, the heavy rain poured down, and the whole world seemed to be celebrating for them.
In the last warehouse carriage, Yu An collapsed softly on the spot, leaning against the corner of the wall.
The scene in mid-air was still playing in his mind.
It was a hundred times more terrifying than bungee jumping.
Yu An was still trying to recover when he heard footsteps.
The next second, his forehead hair was brushed aside, and his fair chin was pinched by slender fingers.
Xie Jinsheng looked down at him.
Forced to look into each other’s eyes, Yu An’s eyelashes trembled, and his body softened uncontrollably.
The man’s voice was low and cold, seemingly suppressing something surging, and the strength in his fingertips increased slightly: “You don’t want me anymore, so which man do you want to run away with?”
Perhaps it was just his imagination.
Xie Jinsheng’s eyes seemed to carry an intense sense of possessiveness that every Omega could feel as terrifying.
It was as if, if he dared to say another word about someone else.
He would do something bad to him right then and there…
