Chapter 23 - Abandoned Hospital (7) (2/2)
Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised by this sudden change. He looked over towards the source of the noise.
“Clack, clackclack……
The sound of metal dragging across the ground could be heard from the depths of the darkness. It was very harsh sounding. A moment later, a large hacksaw appeared in the part of the room that is illuminated by light. Its sharp sawtooth shimmered brightly as it is slowly being dragged forward.
“Screech………..Screech———–!”
The man-eating monster with half its body inside the hole let out a cry of anguish, as if it was extremely afraid.
Cheng Zhi Chu stared at the hacksaw that was being dragged forward. At first he had thought that it was moving on its own but after looking more carefully, he realised that there was something dragging it.
“……….”
The small shadow stopped, and its pair of black shiny eyes looked over in their direction.
————It was a teddy bear.
It was only the size of a palm and its whole body was covered in brown fur. The limbs were plump and round, and a small bow was tied at its neck making it looked both cute and harmless. But with its arrival, the man-eating monster clearly is terrified of it.
This little bear immediately made Cheng Zhi Chu think back to the three bears that they had seen before, especially the third one which was almost exactly the same as this bear. There clearly was some kind of connection.
Maybe it has been following them the whole time…….
Cheng Zhi Chu’s face paled. He suddenly realised that the ring on his hand that had heated up for a minute when the man-eating monster turned up didn’t heat up with the bears appearance.
———–This isn’t because the ring is broken but because the bear is probably……….a living cursed item.
The little bear tilted its head and its eyes swept across them. When its eyes reached those of Bai Yi’s who smiled at it, its soft body suddenly stiffened and it immediately turned its small head away, no longer looking at them. It then continued to drag the hacksaw and moved over to the man-eating monster.
“Screech, screech, screech………….”
The trapped man-eating monster let out horrified cries but couldn’t move forward and it couldn’t retreat. It was unable to see the bear, but it could hear the dragged hacksaw getting closer and closer.
The bear raised the hacksaw that is several times larger than its own body and a cold light flashed through its black, beady eyes. The hacksaw then fell and pierced into the man-eating monsters’ ass in one smooth moment.
“Shunk———–thud!”
The sound of flesh being cut into was clearly audible in the bathroom. Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes gradually widened as he watched the hacksaw cut off the man-eating monsters’ ass so easily. He then thought back to the hard shell that was impenetrable even with bullets and almost wanted to blurt out ————Who could’ve actually imagined that this things weakness was actually its butt?!
The man-eating monster squealed frantically as black fluid and faeces poured out through the opening. The bear took a few step backs and poked out its tongue making an expression as if it wanted to vomit.
After a while, the man-eating monster stopped struggling and no longer screamed. Seeing that it wasn’t moving anymore, the bear again picked up the hacksaw and skilfully cut off the entirety of its ass and threw it to one side. It then climbed up onto it, peeled off the man-eating monsters outer shell, revealed a row of white canines and proceeded to chomp onto it and tear off a big chunk of meat.
It-it’s actually eating the man-eating monster……
Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned speechless. It wasn’t just him, Meng Ke and the others were also dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that man-eating monster could actually be defeated so easily by such a small teddy bear and even with a method like that.
“Shaa………..”
At this moment, the protective shield had reached its maximum usage time. It flashed faintly and then disappeared along with the blue glow.
“Let’s hurry and leave!”
Meng Xin glanced at the bear. Recovering her senses, she said in a panic: “Before it hasn’t targeted us yet………Hurry and get out of this place!”
“But the key……”
Meng Ke looked dejectedly at the key hanging from one of its limbs. They had originally come here to get the key and, with Da Gao sacrificing his life, are they just going to walk away emptyhanded? If so, how would they be able to clear this instance?
“Let’s get away first. When it’s gone, we can come back again to get it.” Meng Xin said in a small voice, “Do you think we can still fight against it?”
Meng Ke pursed her lips and nodded. The two sisters quietly whispered to the other three and looked worriedly at Ji Yun Xiao fearing that he would not be willing to leave.
Ji Yun Xiao silently glanced at Da Gao’s incomplete remains. His shoulders trembled slightly but when he saw that the bear didn’t seem interested in the body, he pursed his lips tightly and resolutely walked out the bathroom.
What the two sisters were most worried about was Ji Yun Xiao refusing to leave. Seeing that he was willing, they were able to breath a sigh of relief and follow quickly behind him.
Cheng Zhi Chu glanced at the bear and also wanted to leave but he noticed that Bai Yi was standing there unmoving while looking at the bear. He urgently tugged at his shirt and said in a quiet voice: “Let’s go.”
“…….Okay.”
Bai Yi held Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand and, in an angle outside of Cheng Zhi Chu’s line of sight, he raised his lips and smiled at the bear.
His smile seemed very gentle and soft but that action of his made the bear that was feasting on the man-eating monsters’ blood and flesh suddenly freeze. Its body trembled and the tip of its tail stood up.
<Kill that other man.>
He mouthed wordlessly.
The bear stayed stunned for a few seconds before subconsciously moving its line of sight over to Cheng Zhi Chu but when he saw Bai Yi’s cold gaze, it immediately understood that he was not referring to this person but the one that had walked out the door. Realising this, it quickly threw down the flesh in its hands and shot up. With a patter it rushed over to Ji Yun Xiao.
“It’s coming!”
Cheng Zhi Chu cried out. Ji Yun Xiao and the two sisters turned back and saw the bear baring its mouth filled with fangs and rushing straight for Ji Yun Xiao.
The two sisters panicked, and Meng Xin proceeded to fire a few shots at the bear. Unfortunately, the bear is very fast and its body was both small and flexible so it wasn’t hit a single time. They could only helplessly watch it get closer and closer.
Cheng Zhi Chu was also extremely anxious. He once again gripped onto Joshua’s necklace intending to try to control the bear but, at this moment, he once again heard the systems notifications.
【Initiating out of control behaviour.]
Cheng Zhi Chu: “??!!” Why at a time like this???
He watched the bear get closer and closer to Ji Yun Xiao and he could no longer have complete control of his body. He rushed forward and clung tightly to Ji Yun Xiao’s waist. With his face plastered against his shoulder, he instantly burst into tears and turned to look at the bear with a resolute and defiant expression.
“Don’t touch my husband. If you want to kill someone, kill me first!”
———Your mum……..What is this mouth of mine saying………
Cheng Zhi Chu was about to collapse. What made him even more devastated was that this was not the end. He again turned his head around and reached out to caress Ji Yun Xiao’s handsome face with tears in his eyes. As if he was looking at his beloved lover, he reluctantly and emotionally spoke up.
“Dear, I’ll go ahead first. Please take care of our children in the future……….”
“………….?”
Seeing Cheng Zhi Chu blocking in front of Ji Yun Xiao, the bear was confused and didn’t know what to do. It quietly glanced at Bai Yi but it was alarmed by the dark and cold air emanating from him. Seeing this, the bear fell back onto its butt and trembled.
“Crack……….”
The fragments of the flashlight fell from the gap between Bai Yi’s fingers onto the ground.
This time, Bai Yi had completely crushed the flashlight.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 23)
The monster in the bathroom is almost irrational and it only had the instinct to consume. Deliberately hiding my presence, it failed to notice me and began to attack us violently.
This is very good. I will use it to kill that Ji Yun Xiao. He cannot live.
……….
This time, Ji Yun Xiao didn’t die. That teddy bear shaped cursed item had once again appeared and disrupted by plan.
It is particularly sensitive to my presence and is very afraid of me. Looks like it is quite afraid of the other ‘me’.
Anyway, although it had disrupted my plans, it doesn’t mean that I won’t allow it to redeem itself. I will use it instead to kill Ji Yun Xiao.
……….
………………………
I am a complete and utter idiot.
Why didn’t I order that cursed item to attack me? Like this, the person that Zhi Chu would be calling “husband” would be me and not———

Cheng Zhi Chu: What is my mouth doing?!
Bear: What should I do?
Bai Yi: What have I done………
