Underwater, Lamia held her breath as she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life. Tom's straight legs were surrounded by countless tentacles, which kept wriggling, looking hideous and terrifying.

Just as Lamia was observing them, suddenly a tentacle stretched out towards Lamia as if it saw her. Its goal was very clear - to drag Lamia into the circle of tentacles.

Although Lamia had used all her strength to try to avoid the attack of the tentacles, the resistance in the water was beyond her imagination, and Lamia was ultimately unable to escape from the tentacle that was so agile and nimble in the water.

Her calf was wrapped by the tentacles, and when she was about to be dragged over, Lamia temporarily grabbed the stone pillar standing in the pool. The tentacles paused for a moment, as if they did not expect Lamia to resist. In their cognition, the whole world can only be controlled by their master - Tom.

Anger swept through this companion tentacle, which had little consciousness to begin with. A rustling sound wave rang out around it, and Lamia's eardrums were shaken into a trance.

When she opened her eyes again, all the tentacles had already surged in front of her, their fangs and claws bared, twisting and wrapping around Lamia's limbs and delicate neck.

Lamia was dragged over, and under the control of these tentacles, she had no chance to fight back.

"Tom, tell them to let me go!" Lamia was dragged by tentacles and tied in front of Tom. As soon as she was able to speak, she made her request to Tom.

"No, Lamia." Tom stroked Lamia's cheek with his cool, slightly sticky fingers. "They really like you too much. Even I can't control them."

Tom chuckled and gradually increased the strength of his fingers, rubbing Lamia's cheeks in his hands. The soft touch made him feel good, and his tone of voice also carried a warmth that was not there just now.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Lamia twisted her neck, trying her best to gain some space for herself from the entanglement of tentacles, so that she would have a chance to speak and entangle with Tom.

"Everything I said is true, Lamia." Tom was very hurt. He pinched the hair by Lamia's ear with his fingers, pulled it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently. The next second, he closed his eyes greedily. "Unless you can make them happy, there's nothing even I can do."

Lamia was speechless about Tom's roguery. Didn't she have a brain? How could she not see that this was all Tom's trick? How could he not have a way to deal with those disgusting tentacles growing on his body? He simply didn't want to do it.

"What should I do?" Seeing the tentacles around her neck getting tighter and tighter, and actually making her feel suffocated, Lamia could only lower her posture and speak to Tom.

"I don't know, Lamia, maybe they like your touch?" Tom smiled evilly, and as his plump, thin lips kept opening and closing, the exposed fangs with a cold glow seemed to remind Lamia how malicious this man was.

"That's enough, Tom. Since you won't speak, let them kill me." Lamia gave up struggling and said viciously.

Lamia has no other choice but to take a gamble, and her life will be her last chip.

"Really? Then you try it, Lamia. However, death is not that easy." Tom still had that sticky smile on his face. In front of Lamia, he had completely stopped pretending and completely exposed his true nature.

Lamia looked into Tom's dark eyes. It was so strange. Tom was really so strange.

The tentacles on Lamia's neck tightened step by step without any resistance from Lamia. Her face gradually turned blue and her vision began to go black.

"Lamia, are you still not willing to give in? What are you insisting on?" Tom's voice echoed in Lamia's ears like an echo.

Lamia didn't speak, or rather, it was impossible for her to speak. The high oxygen consumption had caused Lamia to begin to hallucinate. She seemed to see Tom getting closer to her body little by little.

Before the last bit of oxygen was gone, Lamia slowly closed her eyes, preparing to face the impending end.

But, things took a turn for the better at this moment. It was not Lamia's illusion. Tom really approached and kissed Lamia's lips, saving her from suffocation.

Tom seemed to be on the verge of emotional control. He roughly tore off the tentacles that were wrapped around Lamia, and broke and shredded them one by one. Suddenly, there was a pile of wriggling tentacles on the ground, and countless sticky liquids sprayed onto Lamia, waking her from her coma.

"Tom, you lose."

Lamia spoke slowly, half raising her body and speaking to Tom sarcastically.

Tom was silent, which was rare. He seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, gloomy and depressed.

[Host, please make Tom Riddle feel better within 1 minute]

The smile on Lamia's face froze. "System, are you kidding me?"

[Countdown: 58 seconds]

"Is this also a task that must be completed? Are you really still the same system?" Lamia was very skeptical. The tasks given by this system now tended more and more towards Tom, and there was a subtle tendency to center around him.

[Countdown: 30 seconds]

Lamia did not take any action this time. She did not want to compromise herself in order to complete the task. She also wanted to know what the punishment would be if the task failed or she refused to complete the task. After all, the system had been changed.

"System, it's impossible for me to complete this task. I doubt your authenticity." Lamia said.

Tom in front of him was on the verge of losing control. All his tentacles kept extending and entwining according to his will, forming a perfect encirclement with no visible gaps, and Lamia was of course also wrapped in it.

"Lamia, why? Why can't you be a little better?" As Tom took a step forward, a tentacle suddenly appeared under his feet to fill the gap. Gradually, the space between the two became smaller and smaller until Tom stopped in front of Lamia.

"No reason, Tom, you make me feel sick." Lamia completely let herself go. Since Tom regarded her so seriously, don't blame her for being rude.

Tom seemed to be stimulated and started laughing. He bent over, his whole body shaking with laughter, and the sound waves emitted from the tentacles became more and more harsh.

"Then you will stay here forever, Lamia. It will be just you and me."

Tom stretched out his arms frantically and made a movement to stretch them back towards himself. In an instant, all the tentacles quickly retracted, completely imprisoning Lamia.

Darkness, darkness everywhere with no end in sight.

Lamia could even hear her own breathing and the faint sound of her heartbeat, but she could not feel anything around her, including her own body.

Lamia felt like she had lost all her ability to move, unable to even move her limbs slightly.

After trying for a long time, Lamia finally used her fingers to touch the edge of the object that surrounded her. It was a substance similar to egg membrane, tough but breathable enough to prevent her from suffocating.

Lamia poked at it with all her might, but the membrane only trembled slightly, causing the surrounding area to sway.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound rang out in Lamia's mind, as if someone had forcibly implanted a loudspeaker in her brain, making constant noise.

Lamia struggled in pain, but as she moved, the noise only grew louder.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Lamia could no longer feel anything. All she could hear was a sharp noise, as if some strange creature was crying, shrill and harsh.

"Tom?" Lamia spoke tentatively, but she seemed to be surrounded by liquid substances. When she spoke, Lamia choked on the water. The salty and fishy liquid seemed to have some kind of corrosiveness. It entered her throat and burned Lamia so much that she felt as if someone was strangling her neck.

Lamia finally recovered. Now she really couldn't act recklessly anymore, otherwise she would be the only one to suffer. As for Tom, Lamia didn't even see his shadow.

"System, where am I now?"

Lamia thought about it for a long time and decided to ask the system, which she was not sure about at the moment.

[Because the host failed to complete the task on time, the system will no longer provide any services... System... Error... Automatically restarting...]
