Seeing Hannibal's appearance, the live stream room exploded once again.
"Holy shit! He's here, he's here!"
"Such a heavy killing intent!"
"Damn it! Brother Xiao Yi can only get this far, it seems!"
Because Xiao Yi never bothered with the plot, most Dragon Country viewers would tune into other Countries' streams to understand the storyline.
Of course, many had already witnessed Hannibal's fierce rampage.
If he wanted to kill Xiao Yi, it would be as easy as drinking water!
Seeing Hannibal's appearance, the expectant Lighthouse Country viewers eagerly commented:
"That idiot clearly hasn't followed the plot. He must not know the great trouble that's upon him!"
"Even Professor Dick with an IQ of 166 finds it difficult to handle, this simpleton is surely doomed!"
"It's impossible to brute force the highest difficulty anomaly instance. Even the strongest force will be suppressed to that of an ordinary person, it can only be overcome with intelligence, but does that idiot have a brain, hahaha!"
The Dragon Country People were infuriated by these comments.
Those Lighthouse Country folks must be out of their minds, their own situation is already so terrible, yet they still have the face to mock us. I really wonder what their brains are made of.
However, nobody was in the mood to retort at the moment. Everyone's nerves were tense as they worriedly watched Xiao Yi.
Upon hearing Hannibal's voice, Xiao Yi was startled too and pushed away the indescribable thing he hadn't managed to taste yet, hurriedly making excuses:
"Professor! I didn't do anything! I didn't steal the meat from your house! I didn't blacken your kitchen walls with fire! The clogged sewer is unrelated to me! And the blood all over the fridge isn't because I squished a rat with the fridge door! I'm innocent!"
Hannibal, listening to these words, had the murderous look in his eyes dissipated by speechlessness.
What on earth did this silly kid do in my kitchen?
However, Hannibal didn't forget the reason he came for, and with a slight smile, he said:
"No matter, even if you did all that I wouldn't blame you."
"...Really?" Xiao Yi immediately confessed without being pressured.
"Yes, of course." Hannibal said with a hint of an abnormal smile as he approached Xiao Yi and grabbed his shoulder.
This move sent screams across the live stream room; it was too late to escape!
Hannibal said, "Actually, I want to invite you to become part of our family. If you're family, it's only natural to tolerate these little mistakes, isn't it?"
"You? You want me to become part of your family?" Xiao Yi thought he had heard wrong.
"Yes, that's right." Hannibal nodded, "Family is a very lovely term, and I'd like to share a bit of familial love with you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi furrowed his brow and shook his head firmly.
"I refuse. Although I have been without parents since I was young, I am clear that the bond between family members is irreplaceable. Family cannot become so lightly! Because that is to take on a lifetime of responsibility!"
Xiao Yi's words surprised everyone in the live stream room.
"My god, is this something a person with an IQ of 6 can say? Well said!"
"Hold on, don't get emotional just yet. Isn't that the line from the TV series that aired yesterday? Word for word, not even one changed!"
Hannibal was also surprised by Xiao Yi's words, not expecting the silly kid to speak so profoundly.
After pondering for a moment, Hannibal added, "A lifetime of responsibility, is it? I understand. In that case, we will take care of your lodging and food from now on. That's what family should do."
Upon hearing this, the resolute expression on Xiao Yi's face instantly collapsed.
"I won't lie, I was just putting up a front just now, in fact I'm very afraid of being lonely. If someone as kind as the professor doesn't mind, I would be willing to become family with you!"
Xiao Yi did not consider himself an idiot; he was well aware that nearly all his living expenses went on food and housing. Now faced with a lifetime opportunity for both, how could he possibly let it slip away!
Seeing Xiao Yi's change of face, the audience in the live stream was speechless.
"They thought it was something good, but now he's done for, dead."
"It doesn't matter anyway, whether he rejects or accepts, he's in a dead end, there's no saving him now."
But soon, the live stream was filled with nothing but sighs of regret, with some even jokingly saying,
"Let me translate that for everyone, it basically means 'I've been drifting all my life, just regretting I didn't meet a good master. If you do not shun me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my adoptive father.'"
However, no one could manage a laugh, not even the Lighthouse Country people who would usually scoff—they couldn't be bothered anymore.
Xiao Yi was undoubtedly a dead man walking.
Hannibal also revealed a successful conspirator's smile; he had long known this foolish kid was an easy target.
Before, Hannibal simply had to kill a person to turn them into family, but things were different now; his beloved actually said she wanted to become real family with that foolish living kid.
This was something Hannibal would never allow, no one was to taint her purity!
But Hannibal couldn't oppose her wishes; he had to comply, coaxing Xiao Yi into becoming family with a good-natured approach.
However, this did not mean Hannibal had surrendered.
Hannibal knew she was definitely monitoring the situation, very interested in Xiao Yi, waiting for his consent.
Hence, Hannibal didn't dare act rashly, but he knew her power couldn't last too long.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yi nodded, signs that her power was fading began to show.
All that was left was for her to leave completely reassured, then Hannibal would commence his real plan.
But at that moment, Xiao Yi did something that took Hannibal by surprise.
He brought over the indescribable dish to Hannibal, saying with a smile,
"So, to commemorate us becoming family, why don't you try my cooking, professor? Eat up, and once you do, we'll truly be family!"
"This…" Hannibal's face showed hesitation.
But to put her mind at ease and stop monitoring this place, Hannibal had no choice but to force down the nauseatingly smelly, indescribable substance.
"Well then, I won't be polite… gulp! Yuk—uh… not bad actually."
"Really? I didn't expect I had quite a talent for cooking. Go ahead and eat, professor, this definitely won't be enough, I'll go make some more!"
Deluded by the unfounded praise, Xiao Yi got ahead of himself and rushed back to the fridge to ponder whether the next dish he should prepare should be stir-fried or deep-fried.
Hannibal did not stop Xiao Yi because Hannibal's beloved had seen Xiao Yi fully embrace the identity of a family member and had left satisfied. And now, Xiao Yi just happened to have his back to him.
Hannibal pulled out the handgun that was hidden behind him, pointing it at the back of Xiao Yi's head.
Although Xiao Yi couldn't see what was happening behind him, the viewers in the live stream could see everything around Xiao Yi.
"Fuck! Bro, look behind you! Run!"
"Brother Xiao Yi, tell me you studied sports! You must have learned how to dodge bullets, right?"
