HISO Chapter 9
by VolareChapter 9 “I am your Omega”
Excessively rounded.
It was just a glance, yet it seemed permanently etched in his mind.
Even when he closed his eyes, the sound of water splashing against the bathroom tiles would bring back the image from just now—
The youth’s eyes were moist and round, filled with a dewy air, yet his wrists and ankles were stained with fragmented red marks, like a few crushed rose petals kneaded into snow-white softness, jarring to the eye.
Xie Jinsheng knew exactly how those marks came to be.
He glanced down at his own feet.
The tentacles that had previously taken it upon themselves to pester the youth sensed their master’s emotions and began to tremble in fear.
They hurriedly crawled over, grabbing onto the hem of his trousers, begging for forgiveness.
Xie Jinsheng watched for a few seconds, then kicked them away.
The tentacles tirelessly continued to crawl.
Thus, they crawled once, and Xie Jinsheng kicked them away once, showing no mercy.
“Hmm? What’s that sound?” Yu An, who was showering, was a little confused.
Was it just his imagination?
Why did he keep hearing something that sounded like it was accidentally bumping against the window glass?
The sound of water in the bathroom continued for another five or six minutes, then stopped.
A rustling sound came, the subtle movement of fabric against skin. The Omega had probably finished his shower and was now bending over inside to put on his trousers.
At this moment, the surrounding energy fluctuations reminded Xie Jinsheng that another advanced contaminated beast had appeared nearby.
Only by obtaining enough crystal cores to enhance his abilities could he regain his memory.
Only then could he know who exactly the youth behind him, the one who gave him a sense of familiarity, really was.
Xie Jinsheng paused for a few seconds, then jumped down from the windowsill.
One of the tentacles that had been kicked several times originally wanted to crawl over to Yu An for help, but just as it reached the sofa in the living room, it was caught off guard and dragged down by its master.
When Yu An came out, his fair calves shivered in the cold air. He turned his head and saw that the window was wide open.
Had it been blown open by the wind?
He had clearly closed it tightly.
Yu An walked over with some doubt. At that instant, he caught a very cold and sharp scent.
It was like the cool, woody fragrance of a forest morning, with a hint of intensity in the base note, pleasant to smell but with an indescribable sense of aggression.
He seemed to have smelled this scent on Xie Jinsheng earlier today.
No way.
Could it be that he had come while he was showering??
Yu An hurriedly looked at the black overcoat that was placed on the bed, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the coat was still there.
That proved that the person hadn’t come.
After all, Xie Jinsheng would only come to him to retrieve his coat, Yu An couldn’t think of a second reason.
He didn’t think that he could so easily trick Xie Jinsheng with a “wife” identity. The other party had no interest in him at all.
Then, he lowered his head and saw a clear, damp trail on the living room floor.
It was obviously left by tentacles crawling over it.
Yu An: “…”
[Host, what are you looking at?] 089 had just been released from the shield and saw Yu An’s expression gradually heating up.
089:?
“It’s nothing,” Yu An finally found his voice after a long while, tossed the black overcoat onto the sofa, then shrank into the bed covers, covering his body tightly, not revealing any skin. “I just want to calm down.”
089: ?? What.
It followed Yu An’s gaze and saw the trail, immediately exclaiming, “Holy crap!”
That tentacled monster actually peeped at the host taking a shower! And even made a little gay man feel ashamed.
Perhaps because of this incident, Yu An actually had nightmares for the next two nights in a row.
Even more terrifying, one of them was related to tentacles—
In the dream, there were figures in white coats coming and going. He seemed to be dragged along, taken to a place.
He saw a nineteen or twenty-year-old boy locked in a cage, his body covered in wounds. His black eyes were full of ferocity, like an untamed beast.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was the “black tide” that spread beneath his feet, countless dense tentacles.
He wanted to escape, but was pushed into the cage by several white coats.
Then, countless tentacles wrapped around him, as if to engulf him.
He turned around and saw that the monster had no intention of killing him. Instead, it was warily sizing him up.
An unknown emotion welled up in his heart, perhaps it was the desire to live, perhaps it was the thought that they were in the same cage and would have to spend a long time together in the future.
So, he proactively took the cold tentacle in his hand, trembling slightly, and said:
“Hello…”
“They said, I, I’m your Omega wife from now on.”
When he dreamed of this part, Yu An was afraid of the tentacles, but fortunately the plot was still peaceful.
However, tonight’s nightmare was unusual, the scary parts were all in the back.
The scene changed.
He seemed to be in a raging fire, searching for something.
The surroundings were full of surveillance cameras, and all he could see were severed tentacles, the blood staining the entire ground red, reflecting in his eyes with a bloody light.
But his reaction was not fear, but a piercing pain.
The intense sense of sadness almost crushed his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
After a burst of violent tinnitus, the system’s voice came: [Host, wake up, host, wake up quickly—!]
Yu An suddenly came back to his senses.
He gasped for breath several times, his thin chest rising and falling constantly, his temples were also stained with a thin layer of sweat, and he finally managed to break free from the nightmare.
Why would he have such a dream?
It felt so real, as if it had really happened before.
Yu An calmed down for a while and wanted to get up and drink half a glass of water. He heard 089 say: [Host, don’t move—]
Yu An:?
A few seconds later, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his back was covered in a cold sweat.
Because he found that a black shadow was actually standing at the head of his bed, staring at him for who knows how long!
It was Xie Jinsheng.
