Chapter 6: He’s an Omega?!!

Jiang Zihan was deep in thought when he subconsciously rested a hand on the back of his neck. Suddenly, his fingers brushed against something sticking on the back of his neck. He frowned a little, then pulled down his collar and removed the object.

He looked down at his head and immediately froze in place. What he was holding was a suppression patch.

In his original world, he had been a Beta, so he could not smell pheromones, nor did he need anything like this. However, although he did not need them, that does not mean that he had never seen them before.

His friend, Ling Xiao, was an Omega. Jiang Zihan had seen him use these patches multiple times before.

A suppression patch on the back of his own neck meant that...

Jiang Zihan covered his face. He had never imagined that after spending twenty-two years as a Beta, he would ever become an Omega one day.

Was he an onion? One layer after another...

He could even smell the pheromone scent coming from his gland—the scent of fresh oranges.

It was the first time in his life he had ever smelled pheromones.

He forced himself to calm down and searched around for a new suppression patch, then quickly sealed it over the gland at the back of his neck before the citrus scent spread beyond the bathroom.

He took a deep breath before laying aside the bathroom door. From what he remembers, when he was still a player, Mo Shiyan had told him that he was also a Beta, so as long as he was careful enough, Mo Shiyan shouldn’t discover his secret.

Although he did not know why the original Jiang Zihan had pretended to be a Beta, there must have been a reason for it. He decided to keep the secret as it might cause more trouble explaining the situation to other students and teachers.

Fortunately, he had presented as a Beta since he was seventeen, so he knew exactly how a Beta was supposed to behave.

After hurriedly putting everything back in order, he took a quick shower and stepped out of the bathroom.

Outside, Mo Shiyan was still observing the new skill he had acquired. He stared at the bathroom, but there was still no voice echoing in his mind.

It seems like there is a limit to his ability to hear Jiang Zihan’s inner thoughts. If the two of them were separated by a certain distance, he could no longer hear what the other person was thinking.

But why wasn’t he able to hear Jiang Zihan’s inner thoughts in the past?

And why were his thoughts completely different from the words he actually spoke?

Which was the truth, and which was the lie? Things seemed to get a little more interesting...

While he was lost in his thoughts, the bathroom door opened. He instinctively looked up and saw Jiang Zihan stepping out of the bathroom. Droplets of water clung to Jiang Zihan’s damp hair, sliding down the strands before they disappeared beneath his collar.

Jiang Zihan was dressed almost exactly as he had been before taking his shower. Now remembering, ever since they met, Jiang Zihan seemed to be wearing high-collared clothing all the time.

Noticing Mo Shiyan staring at his neck, Jiang Zihan subconsciously pulled his collar up a little.

Why is he looking at me like this? Did he find out my secret?

Then the little Jiang Zihan in Mo Shiyan’s brain quickly shook his head.

Mo Shiyan had lived in the same dorm with Jiang Zihan for so long already, and still hadn’t discovered his secret. There shouldn’t be a reason why he could discover it the first day I came here.

That must just be my illusion.

He forced a bright smile on his face, trying to break the strange atmosphere in the room.

"Mo Shiyan, do you need my help for anything?" he asked cautiously.

Mo Shiyan lowered his head and sneered, "Jiang Zihan, there’s only the two of us over here. You do not need to act anymore."

"What...?"

"Let me guess—what kind of game are you playing this time? Pretending to be friends with me first, then after I let off my guard, torture me again?" he asked coldly.

I didn’t mean that—"

Jiang Zihan stopped in the middle of the sentence, realizing that what he was about to say was a bit out of character.

"What? Can’t even finish your sentence?" Mo Shiyan continued, his voice sharp.

I can’t just tell you that I’m not the original Jiang Zihan... you’d definitely think that I have lost my mind.

After hearing his inner thoughts, Mo Shiyan’s eyes flickered a little, but it happened so fast that Jiang Zihan wasn’t able to catch it.

So that’s how it is...

A light smile appeared on the corners of Mo Shiyan’s lips.

Jiang Zihan shivered a little, feeling as though something had its eyes on him.

That night, Jiang Zihan was lying on his bed, mentally beating the original owner of this body more than a hundred times in his mind.

How much did he even experience that caused him to have such hostility toward everyone?

Even though Mo Shiyan was only a character in a game, Jiang Zihan had spent so much effort and time on him, and the thought of Mo Shiyan’s fate still caused his heart to ache.

He sat up, looking toward Mo Shiyan’s bed, thinking:

I’m not only gonna change my own ending; I’m also gonna change Mo Shiyan’s ending.

He took his phone out and began recording what he needed to do starting from now.

First, he had to get into the Hunter Academy. The Hunter Academy can help him awaken his abilities and train him to become a Hunter. He had to have enough strength in order to have the ability to protect himself and Mo Shiyan.

In case Mo Shiyan wanted to kill him, maybe he... at the very least, still has the chance to escape with his life.
