"While my sister and I were still inside the house, he set that house on fire. He even held a knife and waited outside. If my sister and I got out, he would definitely kill us."
Hearing that, Rover frowned, feeling that man truly wasn't human. He could do something like that even to his own children.
Nanoe continued, "I carried her and ran, but… but… because she saved me, she got pinned by a falling beam. As she was about to die, she was still smiling and told me…"
Nanoe suddenly lifted her head to look at Rover, her eyes wet, red from crying too much, her body trembling violently.
"She said…" Nanoe said, her lips trembling, her breathing chaotic: "If there is a next life, she hopes to become my daughter. That way… I won't hate her anymore, and I will be able to feel my love."
At this moment, Rover could only let out a sigh, not knowing what to say. That was why she wanted to get pregnant so badly. Even in this terrifying situation, she still wished to be able to get pregnant.
Nanoe gritted her teeth and said, "I escaped, but my sister was swallowed by those ferocious flames. But… my father, he was waiting outside. He attacked me. That injury nearly made me lose the ability to bear children."
Hearing that, Rover held Nanoe tightly. Any words of comfort seemed meaningless. Maybe… what she needed most right now was simply a hug.
Selina sat beside them. Hearing Nanoe speak, tears flowed from her eyes too. Nanoe didn't just lose her sister, she also lost her chance to become a mother and her promise to her sister.
"My mother…" Nanoe said as she cried: "My mother said that… she wished… the one who died was me, not my sister."
Rover held Nanoe even tighter. The space was filled with only his breathing and Nanoe's sobs.
At this moment, he also understood why she hated Alan so much, to the point of wanting to kill him, torture him.
Rover thought that perhaps Nanoe had hoped she would have a good family, that she could fulfill her promise and give birth to a child. But Alan being gay not only betrayed her, it shattered her dream and her promise.
It was no different from taking away half of her life.
Even though Nanoe had lost her chance to become a mother, there were still many ways that could help her get pregnant.
But Alan was gay. Of course he wouldn't let Nanoe get pregnant.
Rover let out a sigh, patting her back as he said, "Don't worry, I'm still here. I'll do my best to help you."
Hearing that, Nanoe jolted and looked up at him. Her tear-streaked face met his.
However, within those hopeless eyes, a faint light of hope appeared. She had seen him do many miraculous things before, so perhaps…
Nanoe pressed her lips together, then nodded and said, "I… I believe you. Rover, will you give me a family?"
"Uhm!" Rover nodded.
"I'm not pure anymore, you won't think I'm dirty?"
Hearing that, Rover shook his head and said softly, "Among us, who is clean? Later, even if you get pregnant, you won't need to leave, because this is your home."
Nanoe smiled, resting her head against his chest, feeling so warm inside that she felt like she might melt.
After a while, Nanoe slowly drifted to sleep. Maybe because she had finally let go of the stone that had been pressing on her heart for so many years, even as she slept, she wore a gentle smile.
Rover sighed and shook his head. He wanted to check the chat, but Selina walked over to him, smiling as she asked, "Master, do you think I'm dirty?"
He snorted with laughter. "No. If I thought you were dirty, you would've died the moment you appeared in front of me."
Hearing that, Selina sat between his legs, her finger teasing his chest and neck. "Master, from now on I'll find you even more women, alright?"
"Remember what you said."
"That girl named Chisaki is very cute too. Do you want her?"
"Do you have a way?"
"Hahahaha… Master, I've had many years of experience in the entertainment industry. Tricking a naive little girl like that, I have 101 ways."
"Good! When the number of Tenant slots in the room increases, you have to bring her back to me."
"Of course, and that girl named Monica too."
"Alright! Alright! If there are enough slots, I'll take them all. You happy now?"
"Hehehehe… when that time comes, Master mustn't forget me."
"Of course!"
Selina smiled happily, then whispered something into Rover's ear. After he heard it, he frowned and said, "Nanoe is still sleeping, we shouldn't make noise."
"I'll try not to make any sound, Master… I want…"
Rover smiled and shook his head. Even though Selina and Nanoe's Omni Point harvest was already over, he still wanted to have some fun too, so then…
A moment later, Nanoe sensed a strange sound. It was sticky, lewd, and accompanied by Selina's lustful moans.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Selina being repeatedly penetrated by Rover, her face flushed, her eyes wet, her mouth slightly open, emitting lewd sounds.
Seeing Nanoe awaken, Selina hurriedly spoke, her words broken: "Nanoe… help… help me… I… can't take it anymore… ah… agh… ah…"
Nanoe licked her lips, then joined in the fray.
….
Outside, within the dense fog, Otrix carried the lamp that was emitting a faint blue light, walking toward the far distance.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him. That person also had a lamp like the one Otrix was holding.
It was a woman wearing a black robe, holding a staff taller than her height, and at the head of the staff hung a lamp emitting a faint blue light.
"You shouldn't proactively interact with the Survivors." A voice that was very feminine yet extremely cold rang out: "If even the Arbiter find out, you will be cleansed by them."
Hearing that, Otrix shrugged and said: "Hahaha… don't worry, the Arbiter are busy with those bizarre tentacles right now, they don't have the time to control my behavior."
The woman fell silent, saying nothing. Otrix also looked at her, but he let out a sigh and said softly: "You want to ask about that person?"
The woman nodded lightly, then asked: "Is he really that person's son?"
"That's right, yes."
"Is he living well?"
"Very well! There are even 2 beauties in his room, he's having a great time."
"Huh!" The woman snorted in disdain, then turned as if she wanted to leave.
Otrix continued: "You don't want to meet him?"
The woman took one step, then stopped, shook her head lightly, and said: "If he truly is that person's son, fate will bring me and him together. Right now is still too early."
After saying that, she stepped into the fog and vanished completely.
Otrix shrugged and sighed. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly rang out with the voice of a middle-aged man.
[The Evil God has been repelled. All Lamp-Bearer and all Arbiter in the area, please immediately assemble at the designated location.]
After hearing that notice, Otrix pressed the talk button with his finger and said softly: "Understood!"
After that, he sighed and muttered: "I don't even have time to enjoy a bit of food. Ah! When will this work finally end…"
After saying that, he followed behind the woman from earlier and vanished completely into the fog.
….
No one knew how much time had passed, but Rover held Selina and Nanoe, both satisfied, in his arms, his eyes looking toward the System's notification panel.
[Notice: Starting to replenish manpower. 20 level 2 Survivors, 50 level 1 Survivors, and 100 level 0 Survivors.]
[Note: At the present time, if the Survivors kill each other, the effect of 'Blood Mark' will double. Please prepare for the next phrase within the next 4 hours.]
Seeing the notification panel, Rover's eyes carried a hint of worry. He hadn't expected the system to not only bring in higher-level Survivors, but ones that were two levels higher than the current Survivors.
Right now, Rover and the others were only level 0 Survivors. Bringing in level 1 Survivors might be normal, but bringing in level 2 Survivors as well was a bit too much.
It had to be known that the levels here were divided by rounds of the game. Only by clearing all the phrase in round 1 could one level up into a level 1 Survivor.
In the very first round alone, so many people had already died, which meant those level 2 Survivors definitely weren't weaklings.
Thinking about having to face level 2 Survivors, people who had cleared two rounds of the game, he still felt somewhat worried and afraid.
Fortunately, 'Blood Mark' would double, which might make those Survivors wary when deciding to kill other Survivors.
Rover took out the walkie-talkie Otrix had given him and opened the info panel.
[Walkie-talkie of the Chosen]
[Type: Special Item]
[Cannot be upgraded or dismantled]
[Description: Can help you contact the chosen (Those who achieved first place in the rounds of the game). Note, you can tune to frequency 47hz, where there is a chat group for 'the Chosen'.]
