Chapter 010: A Kick
Lin Ye took two steps forward, his gaze fixed on the now-supernaturalized female staff member targeting Taisuke Sawanaga.
Her once-beautiful face was long gone. Her bright eyes had turned a blood-red, menacing glare, and her delicate lips had split wide open, extending all the way to her right ear. A black-gray liquid continuously dripped from her mouth.
"Her face has changed. I wonder if her body has too."
Lin Ye scanned her up and down. Confirming that the supernatural entity was completely immobilized due to Time Freeze, he stepped closer.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Ye made up his mind. First, he kicked Taisuke Sawanaga out of the way. Then, he moved directly in front of the entity, unbuttoning her suit jacket with deliberate hands.
Finding this process too slow, Lin Ye used both hands to grab the fabric forcefully, tearing it open violently.
Underneath the white blouse, patches of gray-brown skin appeared—clearly not human flesh.
The back was no different.
Rip…
Lin Ye tore apart the black stockings. At a glance, the long, slender legs were also covered in mottled gray-brown skin.
There was even a faint, unpleasant stench in the air.
It matched humanity's grim imagination of what a supernatural entity might look like.
Hoshino Ai was utterly stunned.
She had witnessed the entire process: from Lin Ye unbuttoning the female creature's jacket to stripping off her blouse, and then tearing apart her black stockings. Hoshino Ai saw it all.
So this is it… So Lin Ye is into this type of female supernatural creature? This kind of perverse obsession?!
For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
This kind of twisted preference… she realized she might… not be entirely against it.
"Let's see if physical attacks work next,"
Lin Ye grabbed a solid wooden chair with one hand.
He swung the chair hard, smashing it against the female staff member's forehead.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Each hit landed squarely, but whether it was effective remained to be seen based on her reaction afterward.
Feeling that his testing was sufficient, Lin Ye turned toward the elevator and casually pulled Taisuke Sawanaga along as he moved.
Time Freeze ended,
And everything returned to normal.
"Help me, Brother Lin…"
Bang!
The solid wooden chair shattered with a loud crack.
The supernaturalized female staff member staggered back several steps under the force of the blows, and though her forehead showed gruesome signs of torn flesh, she displayed no reaction to pain whatsoever.
The next moment, she noticed that Taisuke had disappeared from her sight. Raising her head quickly, she locked onto him again and began moving toward him with her disheveled form.
Click…Click…
The sound of high heels echoed clearly through the lobby.
"Service."
"Guest, do you need service?"
Her gaze remained fixed on Taisuke.
Taisuke Sawanaga was so terrified he was nearly paralyzed with fear.
Thud, thud, thud…
The middle-aged man had already rushed into the elevator.
"Hurry up, you two!"
"Get out of the way, we need to go upstairs!"
The rapidly approaching footsteps made the middle-aged man shout in panic.
"Taisuke, don't come in here! Go distract the monster!"
"You go if you want! I'm not going!"
Taisuke darted into the elevator.
But in their current situation, there was no way they could close the elevator doors before the female creature reached them.
"Brother Lin, get in the elevator!"
Hoshino Ai didn't stretch out her hand to block the closing elevator doors. She was waiting for Lin Ye to return.
However, at this moment, Lin Ye seemed to have no intention of going upstairs.
He stood in place, unmoving.
"Hurry up!"
The middle-aged man was on the verge of losing his mind.
Why was Lin Ye just standing there instead of coming in?!
Hoshino Ai was about to urge him again when she suddenly realized that time had once more come to a halt.
In her field of vision, she saw Lin Ye walk over to the female creature. Grabbing the back collar of her shirt, he dragged the creature toward the hotel entrance.
At that moment,
After confirming that physical damage had little effect on the female creature, Lin Ye began his next test.
"Participants who enter the hotel cannot simply leave through the front door. So..."
He glanced at the female creature in front of him, adjusting his stance.
"I wonder if the staff can?"
The moment time resumed, Lin Ye delivered a powerful kick.
The female creature staggered across the threshold of the hotel entrance.
"Arghhhh!"
A piercing scream erupted.
Lin Ye watched as the female creature dissolved before his eyes at a visible speed.
Clearly,
Her range of activity was confined to the hotel itself; she couldn't leave.
It took Hoshino Ai a moment to process what had happened, realizing how Lin Ye had managed to eliminate the creature.
He's amazing!
Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
Lin Ye began walking toward Hoshino Ai.
Closer.
Even closer.
Suddenly,
"Good evening, guest. Welcome. I'm Mayu Fukada, a staff member at the Koi no Kokoro Love Hotel. Is there anything I can assist you with? Any service at all?"
From the reception desk,
A figure appeared once again.
It was the exact same woman.
But this time, she seemed normal, without any eerie characteristics.
As if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an illusion.
