When Bai Linlin opened her eyes, her cheek was pressed against cold, damp soil.
The smell of rotting leaves and moss filled her nose.
Her head felt dizzy, and the spot on the back of her neck where she had been struck throbbed painfully.
She tried to move her arms but found them firmly secured behind her back.
When she tried to move her legs, she realized her calves were also bound.
A piece of cloth had been stuffed into her mouth, carrying a faint chemical fiber smell that reduced her protests to muffled “mmph mmph” sounds.
She had been tied up and dumped in the middle of the forest in the dead of night.
But what nearly caused her brain to crash again wasn’t the kidnapping itself.
It was…
Just how professional and deliberately suggestive was this binding?!
The ropes weren’t wrapped haphazardly.
She could feel the tough ropes centered on her back, crisscrossing over her body to form a tight diamond-shaped grid.
This was the so-called tortoise shell bondage.
The ropes dug deeply into the soft fabric of her luxurious post-transformation outfit, tightening around her.
Especially around her chest.
The ruffles and pleats on the chest of the Rococo-style dress were now forcibly lifted and accentuated by the diamond rope pattern.
Her small breasts were clearly outlined and compressed in the center of the tight grid.
Thanks to the upward pulling force of the crossed ropes, they even appeared more prominent than usual.
The cold texture of the ropes rubbed against her skin through the thin fabric.
The white opera gloves were still on her hands, now looking like part of some erotic costume.
The two-toned vertically striped pantyhose reflected a subtle sheen under the moonlight.
Her legs were bound tightly together, and her skirt was messily spread out.
This appearance, combined with her ridiculously dreamy magical girl outfit, created an absurd and extremely compromising visual impact.
Just as her mind was flooded with internal screaming—What the hell kind of shameless play is this?!—footsteps approached, accompanied by a girl humming an off-key tune.
Bai Linlin strained to turn her head.
Under the moonlight, a tall figure walked over.
The golden hair was very noticeable even in the dim light. It was the person who had knocked her out earlier.
Now that she was closer, Bai Linlin could see her face clearly. She was quite pretty, but her eyes sparkled with undisguised amusement, and the grin on her lips carried pure malice.
The girl walked up to Bai Linlin, crouched down, and tilted her head to admire her “handiwork.” Her smile grew wider.
“Mmph! Mmph—!” (It’s you! What do you want?!) Bai Linlin questioned with her eyes, but her gagged mouth could only produce meaningless sounds.
The blonde girl seemed to understand. She reached out and gently traced a faint red mark on Bai Linlin’s cheek left by the edge of the rope with her fingertip.
“Take it easy, ‘Bai Linlin.’”
Her voice was slightly husky and carried a light tone.
“We’re… old acquaintances, after all.”
At that moment, the system panel popped up uncontrollably in Bai Linlin’s vision and began labeling the blonde girl in front of her.
[Character: Lin Zhizhi]
[Identity: Transfer student.]
[Relationship Record with “Bai Linlin”: Conflict occurred shortly after enrollment, leading to a “Bully Game.” Lin Zhizhi was defeated but did not become resentful. Instead, she made an agreement with Bai Linlin to “stop bullying Xiran.”]
[Later, due to an accident during Jiang Niaoniao’s “Kill Xiran Plan,” she became deeply “inspired” and developed strong interest.]
[Current Objective: Personally observe Bai Linlin’s true reaction when “on the verge of death” in front of Jiang Niaoniao, and planned this kidnapping accordingly.]
Bai Linlin: “……”
She stared at the text, especially the words “old acquaintances” and “Bully Game,” feeling her vision darken and her stomach churn.
Good grief!
Bai Linlin, oh Bai Linlin, just how many enemies, how many romantic entanglements, and how many perverted connections do you still have in this death game that you haven’t told me about?!
Can you at least give me a damn list in advance so I can mentally prepare?!
She was raging internally, but in reality she was tied up like a luxurious sacrificial lamb, thrown helplessly on the ground.
She had just escaped the tiger’s den (Xiran) only to enter the wolf’s lair (Lin Zhizhi).
And it was a wolf of a completely different flavor!
“Tsk tsk, where did you get this outfit? It’s quite unique.”
Lin Zhizhi hooked her finger around the fluffy pom-pom on Bai Linlin’s cape, then poked the area on her chest accentuated by the rope grid. The force wasn’t too hard or soft, but it was enough to make Bai Linlin’s hair stand on end.
“Mmph mmph!” (Get your hands off me!)
Lin Zhizhi smiled even more happily. She leaned close to Bai Linlin’s ear and lowered her voice, her hot breath brushing against her earlobe.
“‘Bai Linlin,’ I specially prepared this stage just to ‘spoil’ you properly!”
Her voice was filled with twisted anticipation.
“Just imagine—when that bitch Jiang Niaoniao rushes over and sees her beloved little white rabbit, the one she so carefully trapped, looking so pitiful yet… mm, so tempting. What kind of expression will she make?”
“Will she cry from heartache, or will she go mad with rage?”
Lin Zhizhi’s eyes gleamed brightly under the moonlight.
“Just thinking about it makes me so excited!”
Bai Linlin felt her scalp go numb.
Another psychopath!
And the kind who gets off on toying with other people’s emotions!
Is there not a single normal person in this instance?!
Ruan Yuan!
Ruan Yuan!
Where are you?!
Your best friend Linlin is about to disappear!
This time it’s for real!
Not only is my body in danger, but my dignity is about to be publicly humiliated!
Lin Zhizhi seemed to have had enough of her “preview.” She began to act.
Her hands roamed not-so-gently over Bai Linlin’s elaborate dress, sliding along her waist, reaching under the skirt into a makeshift pocket, and finally finding a hard rectangular object in a hidden inner pocket.
It was a phone.
Bai Linlin’s phone.
Lin Zhizhi took it out and skillfully tried Bai Linlin’s bound fingers one by one for fingerprint unlock.
Click. It unlocked successfully.
She scrolled through the contacts, quickly found “Jiang Niaoniao,” and tapped in.
Bai Linlin’s eyes widened. She twisted her body futilely, trying to stop her, but it was useless.
Lin Zhizhi typed quickly, then turned the phone screen toward Bai Linlin to show her.
The sent message read:
“Linlin is mine for now.”
“If you want her back,”
“come find us by following the cliff from yesterday and heading upstream.”
After sending it, she tossed the phone casually into the nearby grass without waiting for any reaction from Bai Linlin.
“Done!”
Lin Zhizhi clapped her hands as if she had accomplished something great. With a pleased expression, she crouched back down in front of Bai Linlin.
“Now that bitch Niaoniao will definitely come running! Given her personality and how much she ‘cares’ about you… heh, I can’t wait.”
She calculated the time, and her smile turned somewhat ambiguous.
“There’s still some time before she gets here…”
She suddenly leaned in again until their noses were almost touching.
Those eyes sparkling with malice stared straight into Bai Linlin’s terrified gaze.
“…which should be more than enough for us to ignore them for a while and have some proper ‘fun’ together!”
