"Awooo!!"
A white ghost lunged at Jiang You. Though it was called a ghost, it was really just someone draped in a white bedsheet. A pair of supposedly fierce eyes and a mouth were drawn on the head area, but they actually looked rather cute.
"Xiao Ying, stop messing around. You're not one of the staff."
They were in a haunted house. Just a few steps inside, B.B had excitedly run off. For a fleeting moment, Jiang You considered making a run for it, but he forced himself to stay. Given her lack of integrity, there was no way she'd let him go. He had to at least keep her happy today, or she'd only become more relentless later.
"You're no fun, Senpai~ Can't you at least pretend to be scared?"
B.B yanked off the bedsheet, tossed it aside, and hugged Jiang You's arm again.
"But Senpai, how did you recognize me? Don't tell me you peeked while I was changing?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang You turned his head away. Her... assets were far too conspicuous, drawing an 80% head-turn rate. No normal person could possibly be that large. While the white bedsheet covered everything else, the prominently raised shape underneath was even more accentuated. It could only be her; there was no other possibility.
B.B glanced down, her eyes widening in realization. She leaned in and whispered playfully in Jiang You's ear, "Senpai, you pervert."
Jiang You was already somewhat immune. Adaptability, he mused, was a terrifying thing.
"Speaking of which, this is a staff costume, right? How did you get your hands on it?"
Jiang You was more curious about how Xiao Ying had managed to find a staff uniform so quickly after disappearing. Had she stormed the backstage area?
"Oh, this?" B.B gestured animatedly. "I knocked out the guy playing the ghost and just took it."
She mimed the actions. "First, I went like this, then like this, and finally, I strung him up."
Jiang You figured she was probably joking. Although with the strength she'd shown, knocking someone out would be more than easy for her, this was a society governed by law. Who would just resort to violence like that?
He was about to change the subject when a piercing scream echoed through the entire haunted house.
Hearing screams in a haunted house was perfectly normal, so Jiang You paid it no mind. But then, a woman's trembling voice reached everyone's ears.
"Help! A staff member has been hanged!"
This amusement park was quite professional. All relevant staff wore uniforms to make it easy for visitors to ask for directions to attractions or for children to find their lost parents. As a result, the victim's identity as a staff member was confirmed immediately.
"You did this?" Jiang You turned to B.B, who was avoiding his gaze and pretending nothing had happened.
"Don't worry! I just tucked the rope inside his clothes. The actual pressure point is on his back. The rope is tied like this... and then like this." B.B demonstrated with her hands. "There's no pressure on his neck at all."
The way she described it, the rope functioned more like a harness, meaning the staff member hadn't actually been hanged.
"So... you really did knock someone out."
How can such a weirdo exist in modern society? Jiang You was terrified.
"Because it was fun! Don't worry, he's not hurt at all. Even if he goes to the hospital, they won't find anything wrong. I even avoided the surveillance cameras! Aren't I amazing?"
B.B's actions were incredibly precise. Unlike Jiang You, her control over her strength was flawless, with not a single ounce of force wasted. She just liked to play; she didn't enjoy killing.
"You... I..." Jiang You was utterly speechless. Should I call the police?
"Senpai, are you really going to turn me in? Would you truly have the heart to send a beautiful girl like me to prison?" B.B's eyes welled up with tears as if she'd read his mind.
Jiang You's face darkened. "You're already out here working. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to still call yourself a 'beautiful girl'?"
Who even describes themselves like that?
Whether to call the police wasn't his decision to make anyway. Jiang You lowered his phone. That would be up to the victim. Besides, this girl's father, President Tong, was a well-known figure in the city. If she really had avoided the cameras and left no evidence, the staff member would just have to chalk it up to bad luck.
"Senpai, not everyone in this world is as pure and innocent as you, like some kind of model citizen. Beautiful girls have privileges, you know. We get top priority in everything."
B.B spoke these shameless words with such conviction that Jiang You was about to back away, but then she shoved an envelope into his hand.
"Including being targeted by people like that."
Jiang You opened the envelope and found a stack of photos. They showed the staff member in the ghost costume using the moments he scared female visitors to grope them. It was basically sexual harassment, though the victims might not have realized it at the time. Even if they had, there would have been no conclusive evidence—much like the situation B.B had just created.
Jiang You's expression softened. B.B had, in her own way, delivered justice. Plus, the staff member's assault would surely lead to a review of the surveillance footage, exposing his own actions. He hadn't expected her to be so meticulous and clever.
"Senpai, look at me, look at me!"
B.B leaned forward, revealing a generous amount of cleavage. She even pushed her arms together, enhancing the visual impact to a whole new level. Jiang You felt his nose start to tingle.
"Would you really let your cute junior be taken advantage of by someone else? Doesn't it feel a bit like you're being cuckolded? Better for me to give you the advantage than some random guy."
She was still acting like this, but after seeing her gentler side, Jiang You's perspective had shifted. He felt like he was on the verge of being conquered. This girl's level was probably in a whole other dimension.
"Heh heh, have you fallen for your junior yet?"
B.B. leaned even closer. She had carefully chosen her perfume today—a scent so faint you wouldn't notice it unless you tried, never overpowering. But once you did, it would instantly conquer your senses, plunging you into a sea of lavender as a gentle breeze swirled the delicate fragrance past you.
"Just a little more..."
Jiang You couldn't be sure. The women he'd encountered in the game recently were also quite flirtatious. While this real-life woman seemed like a fantasy come true, he felt there wasn't enough emotional groundwork between them. He couldn't bring himself to say the words.
"What a shame!"
B.B. puffed out her cheeks. But it didn't matter. Jiang You wouldn't escape her grasp.
"I have a question, though. Where on earth did you get so many photos from all these different angles? You were only gone for a moment, right?"
Jiang You was genuinely curious how she'd managed it. It was as if she had a console command to freely adjust the camera angle for screenshots.
"Well, about that..."
B.B. pressed her index finger to her lips and softly breathed a single word.
"Secret~."
