Chapter 854: Zuo Zuo, Don’t Be Naughty!

The whole “if it’s already broken, might as well smash it to pieces” thing...

Yin Yi had her head lowered, so Lynn couldn’t see her expression. But seeing how frightened she looked, he knew it would be better to wait until she had calmed down before telling her what he had planned for her.

Lynn smiled and patted her on the shoulder. “Take some time to get used to things first. Once I’ve finished filling out the form, I’ll go over the details with you. Don’t be afraid. Just think of this place as your own home.”

Yin Yi shuddered and murmured timidly, “O-Okay...”

After that, Lynn buried himself in his Notebook again and began scribbling away, chatting with Zuo Zuo beside him as he wrote.

She kept her head lowered, anxiously clutching her arms with both hands. She was still terribly uneasy.

Then she timidly lifted her head and looked toward the person facing her...

Ever since she had come down here,

she had noticed that Mr. Lynn didn’t seem to be wearing any clothes. And the room also looked like some private, intimate space. Clearly, Mr. Lynn was an exceedingly lewd creature.

And he was pointing that sort of thing at her, too.

Then there was the way his tone had suddenly grown gentle just now.

No matter how she looked at it, it felt like a huge hint...

She bit her lip, sorrow in her eyes.

Then she made up her mind.

If it was a hint, then she could only do her best to get used to it... After all, compared to being eaten by the other monsters in hell, she might as well stay here and do her best to keep Mr. Lynn happy. Maybe... maybe he wouldn’t treat her too cruelly.

If that was the case...

Then...

...

Lynn, of course, hadn’t noticed what she was doing. At that moment, he was still pulling a huge Notebook out of the System Space, holding a pen and carefully, intently filling it in.

Zuo Zuo leaned over and peered at it curiously. “Is this... the application form from when you first joined Nightfall City?”

Lynn bit the end of his pen, thinking. “That’s right. Anyone who wants to become a Night Doctor has to pass an assessment. I can submit her application first, then take her to sit the official exam once she’s adjusted to life here. Since they say she’s a Promising Talent, of course I have to make proper arrangements for her.”

Zuo Zuo shot him a sidelong glance. “I didn’t know Stupid Brain could be so kind. That’s rare.”

Lynn filled in the form with a smile. “Hey, that’s because you’ve never noticed my shining qualities. I mean, I am the kindest person in all of Nightfall City...”

“What’s wrong?”

Zuo Zuo looked at Lynn, who had suddenly stopped.

Lynn fought back the strange sensation that had abruptly come over him. He coughed awkwardly under his breath, then continued writing with a solemn expression. He shot Zuo Zuo an ambiguous glance and whispered, “Zuo Zuo, what are you doing? Can’t you see there’s someone else here? If you’re that eager to play, I promise I’ll let you have your fill later. Why are you doing this now? You’re distracting me from filling out the form!”

Zuo Zuo (O_O)??

Why couldn’t she understand a single word he was saying?

Had she done something? She was just sitting here quietly. She hadn’t done anything at all.

“What the heck?” Zuo Zuo asked, completely baffled.

Lynn rubbed his temples with his pen. (๑＞︶＜)و “I told you, Zuo Zuo! Watch yourself! I’m not joking. Now really isn’t the time. I know you’re eager, but don’t get worked up yet. Can’t you see Brain is working? Try to control those lewd urges a little.”

Zuo Zuo was even more confused.

What did he mean, she should suppress her lewd thoughts?!

Was she being lewd?!

Why couldn’t she understand what he was saying?!

Zuo Zuo instantly flew into a rage. She grabbed Lynn by the collar and bared her teeth. “Hey! Stupid Brain!! You’d better explain yourself! Why do your words sound so suggestive?! What did I even do to you?! Why can’t Left Hand understand a single thing you’re saying?!”

Seeing Zuo Zuo fuming so hard that steam seemed to be puffing from her head (〝▼皿▼), and seeing her small hand clutching his collar,

Lynn froze.

“You weren’t just...”

Zuo Zuo (〝▼皿▼) snapped, “Just what?!”

Lynn went still.

Huh? Wasn’t it Zuo Zuo...?

But if it wasn’t her, then who was doing that to him right now...?

His expression stiffened in an instant.

Could it be...

Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn hurriedly tossed aside the Notebook he was holding. Zuo Zuo followed his gaze, uncertainly looking over as well.

In an instant, Lynn and Zuo Zuo both froze, their eyes fixed in place.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo: “(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))!!!”

As if she had sensed their gazes upon her, the Evil Spirit said, “Mr. Lynn...”

“...”

A brief, extraordinarily strange silence fell. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The next moment.

“Sign me up too! I knew it!! Stupid Brain, you really were up to no good!! Your head’s full of industrial waste, Stupid Brain!! I knew you couldn’t be trusted! You dragged this Evil Spirit girl down here just to indulge those vile perverted desires of yours!! Pervert!! I really did misjudge you, Zuo Zuo!! (╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻”

“That’s not what you think! Stop! Anyone can see this was an accident. I had no idea she’d do something like that!! I was just sitting here innocently filling out the form. I don’t even know what happened!! Listen to me!”

“A bold life needs no explanation!! What wouldn’t a man who’s climbed a tree do?! So one isn’t enough for you anymore?! Were you planning to carry out your shameful scheme with a one-versus-two?! o(≧口≦)o Idiot!!”

“Left Hand! Don’t slander me! When did I ever want a one-versus-two?! Don’t make baseless guesses!”

“I knew you couldn’t be trusted! Die!”

Bam!

...

Ten-odd minutes later.

With his hair standing on end in a massive frizzy mess and his face bruised and swollen, Lynn sat by the bed, panting. Only after finally managing to tie Zuo Zuo and the Evil Spirit girl called Yin Yi to the headboard with his tentacles did he get a chance to catch his breath.

Zuo Zuo was still glaring at him with those enormous eyes, utterly furious. Her mouth was stuffed with a pesticide bottle, and tentacles were wrapped around her body. Angry “Mmph! Mmph!” sounds still came from her throat.

She looked just like a fierce little loli who’d been subdued.

Yin Yi had also been tied up there, and was making the same distressed face, o(╥﹏╥)o. She still had no idea what had happened.
