39. Unbelievable, Bro!
These attackers aiming to Moretti and me, their “villains,” displayed abilities far beyond mere lackeys. Being outmatched by the protagonist, Khfel, was typical. Yet, their escape tactics and efficiency were extraordinary. Despite failing to detain the professor and suffering wounds, they managed to cover their tracks and disappear without a trace.
Fortunately
This is probably the kind of “Officer Mumu” scenario, where the script only allows for a timely arrival after the danger has passed. But it’s better than nothing; Professor Moriarty, who is still tidying up her office, definitely needs some help and supervision . As for me, Kfir’s attitude is quite clear.
“Shaman, for safety’s sake, Nilu and I are staying in your dorm tonight.”
“What!?”
“Are you planning to stay in the girls’ dorm?”
Kfir snorted.
Is she asking on purpose!? Because right now, my dorm is…
“Stop talking so much, come with me! Nilu, you too!”
Perhaps due to the lingering tension from the recent crisis, Kfir was adamant about not letting me leave alone afterward. She firmly grabbed my arm and dragged me all the way to my dorm.
Then, naturally, we ran into my roommate, Heluxiao, who opened the door for me in the middle of the night.
“Bro, you’re back just before curfew? Where have you been, chasing after some foreign horse… cough cough cough!”
Upon seeing Kfir and Nilu behind me, Heluxiao immediately broke into a fit of coughing, clutching his bottle.
“Uh, uh… Bro, I just remembered I have to go to a vodka party at a bar on Moscow Street! I won’t be back all night, a-whole-night!”
Still wearing his corn-patterned shorts, he emphasized some rather inappropriate words before bolting out.
“Don’t forget to wear a hat!”
With a bang, he shut the door behind him and left decisively.
Turning around, I saw Kfir, who clearly understood what Heluxiao meant, was already blushing furiously. At the moment I looked over, she even shook her fist at me, as if threatening: dare to say a word and I’ll beat you up .
Sigh… Kfir, see? This is why I said it would turn into this situation, and I didn’t want you to come to my dorm.
As a good Russian roommate, Heluxiao cleverly found an excuse to leave, and without him around, Kfir and Nilu finally relaxed. After borrowing my bathroom and giving me a stern warning not to peek, Kfir and Nilu, having just gone through such a dangerous ordeal, surely couldn’t hold back their sleepiness.
The dorm is a double room, but Kfir and Nilu definitely wouldn’t stay in Heluxiao’s messy, distinctly Russian room. The final outcome turned into: Kfir and Nilu squeezed onto my bed while I made do on the sofa beside them.
Kfir wouldn’t let me go to Heluxiao’s room, saying: this way, I can protect you at all times.
Clearly, the script no longer contained anything about my death, but looking at Kfir’s serious demeanor, I just couldn’t bring myself to say it.
——
That night, I went to bed fully clothed. I don’t know if it was because I felt a bit uncomfortable or if it was the scent wafting from the two beautiful girls who had just showered, but I couldn’t even close my eyes , let alone fall asleep!
The two girls on the bed not far away had breathing that was sometimes erratic, sometimes steady, which only stirred my restless mind.
There was no option for a “night raid.” Not only would it be an attack on the true protagonist, but also on someone like Nilu, which would be a death wish. Helpless, I had to turn my face to the other side to try to remain calm.
After all, my script as O’Keefe isn’t about forming a football team harem, with me hugging one and sitting on another, but rather about the omnipresent “death, death, death.” Everything that happened tonight was particularly evident and… very bizarre. In the past, even when I faced retaliation from minor villains, it was merely sending some low-level henchmen. Not to mention Kfir could take them out in a second; I could handle one or two myself.
But today, my “death script” was like the Grim Reaper, shadowing me relentlessly. Clearly, I had already used the script to evade those thugs, yet the death script hadn’t disappeared! Earlier, I was too tense to think much, but now it seemed there was only one explanation.
That is: the reason the death script kept circling around me is that even while I was escaping using the script, someone always knew where I was and had a “kill me” script. Thinking this way, the range of truth narrowed down significantly! Only that one person!
However, for some reason, I didn’t immediately tell Kfir afterward. Now that I had the chance to be alone with her, should I say something about it?
Thinking it over, I looked at Kfir’s script. But…
I originally just wanted to see how Ke Fei’er was feeling, but at this moment, what I discovered was…
【Ke Fei’er was not asleep.】
What!?
【Ke Fei’er quietly got up and came to Ou Ji Li De’s side!】
Wait, wait! Are you sleepwalking, big shot!?
It was obvious she wasn’t, because the next moment, I felt something “extra” behind me! Immediately after, a familiar fragrance wafted over, and Ke Fei’er leaned close to my ear, whispering softly.
“Diviner, are you asleep?”
If I say I’m not asleep, what does Ke Fei’er want in this situation!?
“Hu… hu…”
I hurriedly pretended to snore.
【Ou Ji Li De’s act of pretending to sleep was seen through.】
As a man, you have to see through but not speak out; I decided to continue playing dead, because a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Could Ke Fei’er really wake me up by riding on me?
However, the next moment…
“Then I’ll just assume you’re asleep.”
Ke Fei’er’s somewhat troubled voice made me realize: I can’t play turtle at a time like this.
“Ou Ji Li De, after all… we should head back to the country.”
“No way.”
How could I let my troubles here affect your path to leveling up!?
When I came to my senses, I had already grasped Ke Fei’er’s wrist to stop her. Under the moonlight, the girl in a thin dress made it so I couldn’t quite bring myself to look directly at her.
“I didn’t want you to go back before; now I even less so. This is also… a prophecy.”
Ke Fei’er and I, both feeling a bit nervous, turned our faces away from each other, avoiding eye contact. After a long while, I finally found an excuse.
