"Calm down! Think about how much you used to love girls, but why are you like this now? It’s not because those girls got uglier! It’s because you’ve changed, you’re being influenced by something!" Wu Xiangjiao shouted.
He decisively stopped the college student, recklessly snatching the knife from his hand.
The Bunker People’s bodies are indeed generally stronger than the Three Tower People’s.
Wu Xiangjiao subdued the college student in a few moves, while Che Renxiao collapsed on the sofa.
If at this moment, a Bunker team burst in...
Wu Xiangjiao figured even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear his name.
He held the knife, and a pantsless college student looked at him with a somewhat fearful expression. The scene was so awkward that even Wu Xiangjiao himself felt something was off.
Wu Xiangjiao said:
"Put your pants on, damn it. Don’t make me beg you."
Che Renxiao silently pulled up his pants, looking a bit dejected. Wu Xiangjiao continued:
"Come with me, leave this place."
Che Renxiao shook his head:
"Sorry, Ah Jiao, I can’t leave here. I’ve done too many sinful things with that ugly thing!"
"Only here can I be pure! This magical place can purify me!"
Wu Xiangjiao was shocked.
Che Renxiao said:
"You should go, I need to read some philosophy."
Once an eviction notice is given, it triggers the end of the interaction early. Wu Xiangjiao knew this meant he had failed.
He still had fifty action points; he didn’t know whether to continue for another round. While hesitating... Wu Xiangjiao’s body had already been mysteriously driven back to his home.
The next door was quiet.
Wu Xiangjiao sat on the sofa, praying that Che Renxiao wouldn’t do something stupid. Though he was just a Three Tower Person, Wu Xiangjiao didn’t want a buddy to castrate himself like that.
"Forget it, let’s wait for the meeting later. Maybe I can ask Ah Shu if there’s a way to persuade this college student."
"I was actually scared just now. Speaking of which, could I end up like that too?"
Thoughts kept flooding in. Wu Xiangjiao tried to recall some beautiful women in his memories. He was surprised to find that indeed, there was no such vulgar desire anymore.
Not only was there no such desire, but he even felt a strong aversion.
"The task tells me, back to seven days before everything happened... which means, there are still six days left until it’s over... it’s only the second day, and the neighbor next door has already gone crazy."
Wu Xiangjiao thought with a worried face:
"I wonder how the Venerable, Fifth Brother, and Ah Miao are doing."
...
...
Xiaowu’s situation was slightly better than yesterday.
Encouraged by the Venerable Wen, he was indeed able to muster up the courage to temporarily overcome his inferiority complex and go see Lawyer Jiang.
Lawyer Jiang opened the door, his face pale and sickly:
"Oh, neighbor, come on in... I hope, I hope you don’t mind my house being too dirty."
Actually, Lawyer Jiang didn’t want Xiaowu to come in, but he suddenly remembered that it would be very impolite to do so, and he was very afraid that the other party would think of him as a rude person.
Two extremely self-doubting and unconfident people sat on the sofa, constantly fidgeting.
Lawyer Jiang felt extremely uneasy, scratching his head and neck.
Xiaowu, on the other hand, kept shaking his leg.
About a minute later, Xiaowu finally spoke:
"Your house is very clean... I am ashamed of myself. You... you are truly someone I should learn from."
Lawyer Jiang shook his head:
"No... no, it’s not clean enough. I’ve already contacted someone to buy laboratory-grade disinfecting cleaning tools."
"I’m really... really sorry, I actually came to see you in such a filthy state."
Xiaowu waved his hands frantically:
"No no no... I’m the one who’s filthy, I’m too presumptuous!"
Xiaowu even felt an urge to leave quickly, but the Venerable Wen’s smile appeared in his mind, and he mustered up his courage once again:
"Lawyer Jiang, you are a respectable lawyer, and you have your own pride! Would you like to... leave this place with me?"
"You’ve already noticed, haven’t you? This place makes us sensitive and suspicious, makes us humble and timid!"
This was the best Xiaowu could do, he couldn’t come up with compelling reasons tailored to the other’s profession and habits like Wen Xishu.
Under the erosion of low self-esteem, his best performance was to say this much.
But Lawyer Jiang was terrified and uneasy:
"No... no no no! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
"I don’t dare go out! Do you know how many people are out there? Do you know how many people are in Jicheng!"
"Outside is a vast world! But I’m such a filthy person! I can’t leave here..."
Jiang Yingce’s face slowly approached Xiaowu.
"Look at my filthy pores, and the stench on me... I can’t accept going out like this! Everyone, everyone will mock me!"
"I must clean myself, I must clean myself, I must clean myself, I must clean myself..."
Clean, clean, clean...
Such words continuously came out of Jiang Yingce’s mouth, causing the faith and courage that Xiaowu had painstakingly built up to collapse.
If such an excellent person thinks of himself as dirty... how could someone like me have the face to be seen by others?
"You’re...you’re right. We should clean ourselves... clean ourselves, too dirty, how can we face people like this?"
Xiaowu stood up, said goodbye to Lawyer Jiang, and walked towards his own room.
After the door closed, he started to bathe.
He directly twisted off the nozzle on the body wash bottle, opened the cap, and poured the entire bottle of body wash over his head.
