Chapter 599 - 164. Snake as well, myself too_4
But An Le remained completely oblivious, still only cradling her head in pain, muttering to herself,
"I just... wanted everyone to be happy... But why... why does it hurt so much... why..."
Little Thumb glanced at the men closing in around her and couldn’t help but sigh.
It looked at An Le and said,
"Do you really think that by being kind and friendly to others, they will treat you the same way?
"At school, because you are amiable and good-natured, everyone doesn’t hesitate to tease you. At work, because you’re honest and straightforward, everyone takes it for granted that you should handle tasks that aren’t yours; in relationships, you always give in, so everyone treats you like air and lets you be the loser...
"This is a screwed-up world where good people get guns pointed at them, and yet you still hope to exchange your friendliness for others’ blessings...
"An Le, listen to me, only the things you decide for yourself count, everything else others promise you is bullshit!"
As she listened to Little Thumb’s ethereal lament, An Le shook her head while pressing her own forehead, constantly objecting,
"You... stop deceiving me, I..."
"Me, deceiving you? What a joke!"
Little Thumb flicked its tongue, suddenly drew closer to An Le, its crimson snake eyes locking with her tear-stained ones,
"I am connected to you, I can feel your truest thoughts.
"Do you think every reminder from me is deceit?
"On the contrary, every time I remind you, it’s your own doubts that surface!"
Hearing this, An Le’s eyes suddenly contracted,
"Take a good look at yourself, are you really so foolish as not to notice something off between Yan Huan and Spencer?
"No! You noticed it long ago! You just turned a blind eye, chose to trust her, chose to deceive yourself!
"Every time I voice your own doubts, you argue against me. Is that fun? The left brain arguing against the right brain, you against yourself, is that enjoyable?"
Little Thumb’s slender body began to coil around An Le’s neck, without making her feel suffocated at all.
It was as if it had always been a part of her body,
"To drug Yan Huan, to use superpowers on Yan Huan as well.
"Are you not truly lusting after his body, do you not truly wish to be with him?
"Are these my thoughts, or is it me who wants to be with him?"
Little Thumb narrowed its eyes, and within its blood-red pupils, An Le’s eyes gradually merged with its own,
"Admit it, your desires.
"I am here to help you achieve those desires, my convenient abilities are all yours, it’s you who tie yourself down with moral excuses...
"Why can’t you just follow your own heart for once?"
An Le blinked, dazedly saying,
"I... just want everyone to be happy, including... myself too..."
"Then make everyone happy, let everyone like you because of their happiness, obey you, An Le."
"Whoosh～"
The rain continued to fall.
Only now, when An Le returned to reality, the pattering sound of the rain began to surge into her ears.
What followed were the seven or eight men who had surrounded her.
"Little girl, looking for fun? How about going with us fellows to play?"
"It’s quite cold here, would you like to go somewhere warmer?"
"Hey, she looks dazed, is she an idiot?"
"What’s wrong with an idiot, with such a sexy body, I don’t mind if she’s..."
"Hey, she moved!"
The next second, An Le dazedly lifted her head, casting a glance at the jeering men around her.
One of her empty eyes, on the left side, had eerily turned into pink vertical pupils, like a snake’s.
"Hey, look at her left eye..."
One man was about to alert the others, but another man swallowed a gulp of saliva, unable to resist, and reached out towards An Le.
"Splat～"
However, the next second, a sticky mass of flesh suddenly coiled around his neck from behind.
"Hey, Blake, what the heck is that behind you!?"
Everyone heard the slimy sound of mucus touching flesh and hurriedly looked in that direction.
They saw a viscous, snake-like, pink tentacle gently coiled around the neck of the man who had stretched out his hand.
But the moment the tentacle touched the man, his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, his pants soaked through, and he collapsed to the ground, completely limp.
"Ugh... gurgle..."
"Bla... Blake! You..."
Blake with his eyes rolled back, was completely wrapped by the tentacle and dragged into mid-air, then flung aside onto the road next to them as if he was trash.
Everyone was horrified, quickly turning back to look at An Le, who was still sitting on the ground leaning against the wall.
They saw her skin below the neck become extremely pale, and a tentacle emerged from behind her spine, materializing from a point of nothingness until it solidified.
"Mon...ster...ugh!!"
"Run for it!"
Terrified, the crowd started running, but the tentacle split and extended in mid-air like An Le’s fingers, reaching towards every person with incredible speed.
"Pat!"
Just a slight touch on the skin, and the person would collapse, as if their brain was overwhelmed by Pleasure, bodily fluids spilling out, eyes rolling back as they lost consciousness.
"Pat!"
"Supple... supplemental medicine..."
"Pat!"
"Gurgle..."
"Pat!"
"Pff!!"
One by one, the men fell to the ground, except for one running desperately, almost making it out of the alley.
At that moment, the distance between the seemingly paralyzed An Le and the alley mouth was exactly 15 meters.
One more bit...
Keep running...
Keep running!
The tentacle wasn’t as fast as his running; he could definitely...
However, the next second, as if teleporting, the tentacle appeared at the edge of the 15-meter range right before his eyes.
His pupils shrank, and just as he was about to scream, the tentacle shot into his wide-open mouth...
"Boom!"
Thunder flashed across the sky.
The rainfall washed over An Le’s body, who sat dazed and motionless.
It wasn’t until the last person was swallowed by the power of Pleasure without even a chance to scream that An Le seemed to snap out of it, blinking her eyes.
Around her, the illusory tentacles that extended from her body gradually turned to dust.
And below her neck, her originally pale skin slowly regained sensation.
She stood up in a daze, looking around at the chaos, then down at her own hands.
There, a white snake with a flickering tongue devoured the nearly infinite desires emerging from An Le’s body, turned its head back with a satisfied look, and said with a smile,
"Thanks for the hospitality, An Le."
The sound of rain shattered Little Thumb’s smiling voice, and An Le blinked, focusing on the illusory interface that appeared before her,
[The modifier has evolved]
[Unlocked: Tentacles]
[At the cost of all sensation below the neck, summon a controllable tentacle that can split into up to three, regenerating indefinitely.]
[Touching anyone with this tentacle allows you to trigger the ability to control Pleasure regardless of how many times.]
[The tentacle’s metrics (strength, speed, number, regeneration speed) are determined by the Host’s desires. The stronger the Host’s desires, the stronger the tentacle’s metrics.]
[This tentacle has no cooldown period and can be activated anytime, anywhere. If the affected victims survive, their memory will still be altered afterwards.]
An Le’s hollow eyes moved downwards, finally resting on the line of text below the lengthy explanation,
[Please use it without any hesitations!]
