Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

"Shen Yue, what...what do you mean by this?"

Yan Youyou stood in front of the experimental table.

Her fingertips nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

His gaze fell on the twelve small medicine bottles lined up on the table.

The bottle is printed with exquisite reliefs of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, which gleam faintly under the cool white light of the laboratory.

She was completely baffled and didn't understand why Shen Yue had specifically called her to the lab.

"What important information about Ah Ling did you say you had?" Yan Youyou asked worriedly, a sense of urgency creeping into her heart.

Where did it come from?

do not know……

Shen Yue reached out and gently pushed the row of medicine bottles in front of her, still in that slow, peculiarly punctuated tone: "He likes, beast-eared girls."

"These drugs can give you the characteristics of a wild beast for a short time. At the same time, if you encounter danger, you won't have to use that dangerous ability."

Yan Youyou: ? ? ?

"How did you know Ah Ling likes this?"

"How come I didn't know?"

Shen Yue took a sip of tea. "Hmph~ It was researched."

Of course, she made all of this up. Ultimately, 99% of men who like lolis are completely powerless against lolis with animal ears.

The most important goal is to prevent Youyou from bothering Jiang Ling and the other girls right now.

She didn't want her research on complex human emotions to end so hastily.

Besides, as friends.

She really shouldn't have made Youyou, who hadn't even finished desensitizing, face those realities that were driving her crazy.

It's not too late to face it when she's mentally stable enough.

"Research...?" Yan Youyou asked with a look of suspicion.

After spending most of the day fussing around, I specifically called her to the lab just to give her this.

She felt a strange pang of regret.

I shouldn't have come to find Shen Yue.

"Alright, take these, you can leave now."

Shen Yue didn't say anything more, decisively dismissed the guests, and then lowered her head to fiddle with the experimental equipment on the table.

He clearly didn't intend to explain any further to her.

Leaving the university laboratory, Yan Youyou wandered aimlessly through the streets on Christmas Eve.

The shops along the street were all decorated with Christmas lights.

The warm streetlights mingled with the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes from the roadside stalls, and couples were everywhere, holding hands and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Her gaze swept over the roadside trees, and she noticed that the leaves were much more withered and yellow than in previous years. Perhaps the chill of late autumn had arrived earlier and was more intense than in previous years.

"Those who eat meat are wicked beasts, evil people who lorded it over others in their past lives. The world is filled with the stench of meat and lacks spiritual joy because people eat too much meat!"

"By the God of Withering!"

"Please unleash divine punishment to punish those who have misbehaved!"

On the makeshift stage erected by the roadside.

The man with bandages wrapped around his hands was holding a microphone and shouting angrily. His face was red and his voice was hoarse.

On his chest was a badge shaped like a withered yellow leaf, exactly the same as the one on Yan Youyou's mother's body.

He was speaking excitedly when he suddenly pointed at Yan Youyou, who was passing by, and shouted with spittle flying, "Look at this young lady! Her steps are unsteady, and her face is deathly pale. It's obvious she ate too much fishy and gamey food and her body has been invaded by foul air!"

"How about joining our Cult of Withered Leaves, so that the Holy Lord can help you get rid of your foul stench?"

Swoosh s ...

The worshippers, dressed in matching outfits, swarmed around her instantly, surrounding her in just a few seconds, raising their arms and shouting in unison:

"Join the faith! Join the faith! Join the faith!"

"No...don't come any closer!"

Yan Youyou took a step back in alarm, her gaze sweeping over the faces that surrounded her, her pupils suddenly contracting.

To her horror, she discovered that, without her noticing, all the faces in front of her had transformed into…

My own mother!

……

On the other side, after saying goodbye to Kexin at the Izumi Ramen shop, Jiang Ling took Li Meiyu back to the small villa.

The two first opened a Minecraft save file to continue the game—after all, they were at Kexin's house last night, and time was tight with many tasks, so they only managed a quick trip down the mine and didn't even get to see the Ender Dragon. This morning they finally had some free time, so they caught up on the progress they hadn't finished.

Just as I finished off the Ender Dragon, my phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

Someone called.

Jiang Ling opened it and saw it was an old friend—

Long time no see, Koizumi Aoyama.

"Feed?"

A calm yet somewhat urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Feed? Is this Jiang Ling?"

"There's an urgent task that needs your help. Do you have time now?"
