Mitternachts-Handbuch für paranormale Phänomene

Kapitel 13

"That depends on the Saintess's impression of you. I'm already quite satisfied with being scheduled for the second day this time."

"The guy I met here the time before last, he also set off on the first day, or at least that's what he said. But he seemed a bit mentally unstable, I guess no matter where he ended up, he probably wouldn't be coming back, right?"

"How so?"

"He didn't bring anything, not even water! It was really unpleasant to see him like that."

"Tsk tsk... It's rare to meet someone who set off on the first day here. Probably nine out of ten get what they want. Kid, you're really lucky to have made it back after all that!"

"And what about you? Don't tell me you're naturally dark-skinned."

"Last time I set off, it was also on the second day, wow... an endless desert."

"I've been to one of those godforsaken places too. Which one are you going to?"

The six men, who had "set off before," chatted excitedly, but each hesitated to speak. Lu Xu listened for five minutes and was still completely confused. They had no clue about what day they set off, the saintess, cutting off and eating their own fingers, or who got what they wanted.

All I know is that staying here will be extremely dangerous.

"After going to those places and going through all sorts of hardships to get back here... hehe, you'll find this place is incredibly fake! It's a completely artificial world deliberately created by humans. It's so easy to survive here that it makes you feel like you're not even real." Old Deng chuckled.

“Absolutely right! I don’t feel alive at all in Taipei!” The middle-aged man with a full beard reached out and gave Old Deng a high five.

"Excuse me," Lü Xu raised his hand, speaking awkwardly like a primary school student, "Could one of you please tell me what exactly is going on?"

They didn't even bother exchanging glances; instead, they all wore mysterious smiles.

Lu Xuda had seen this smile on Lao Deng's face many times, and his patience had reached its limit.

"I'm sorry, but our unspoken rule is that we absolutely do not discuss anything about the departure with newcomers." The young man, who only had eight fingers left, smiled. "It's all for your own good."

"It's for your own good," the dark-skinned man echoed.

“?” Lu Xu’s anger flared up.

"To ensure you experience 100% of the pleasure of near-death, keeping quiet is the most basic courtesy." Stretching, Old Deng surprisingly chimed in, siding with the strangers: "Speaking of which... Little Lü, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

At this moment, the sounds of intercourse in the bedroom stopped.

Everyone in the living room fell silent.

"..."

Lu Xu was completely baffled, but the atmosphere instantly became very strange, and he had no choice but to continue suppressing his anger, which he had nowhere to vent.

No one spoke, but all eyes were fixed on the direction of the bedroom.

The dark-skinned man closed his eyes, clasped his hands together at his chest, his face solemn, as if in prayer. Lu Xu, observing his expression, realized that if these men's "departure" had a specific order, this dark-skinned man seemed to be next.

After a long while, no one came out of the bedroom, and the six men made no move.

What are they waiting for? How are they going to set off? Who are the people having sex in the room? Are the people in the living room waiting for the person who just finished having sex to come out? Judging from this situation, are they going to take turns going in and having sex with the woman inside? Is having sex some kind of "initiation ceremony"? After initiation, will someone take them to the airport to begin their special adventure?

He quickly combined the scene before his eyes with the key phrases he had just heard, trying to put order into logic, and pieced together a basic image in Lü Xuda's mind.

Just as Lü Xu was feeling increasingly annoyed and his thoughts were becoming more and more chaotic, a woman's voice came from behind the green plastic beaded curtain.

"Come in."

The word "simple" instantly eased the tense atmosphere... except for that dark-skinned man.

The dark-skinned man kept taking deep breaths, exhaling, taking deep breaths, exhaling, rubbing his hands together, but he didn't stand up for a long time. No one urged him to get up, letting him build up his composure.

"So it really is about making love, huh?" Lu Xu looked at the exaggerated and ugly curtain and wondered: "If we're really going to take turns going in to make love with that mysterious woman, why isn't anyone coming out first?"

Old Deng then spoke up: "Should we let the newcomers go in first, and we can chat outside a bit more? Anyway, who knows when we'll have another chance to chat like this...maybe..."

The dark-skinned man, who had been preparing to "set off," nodded in agreement, and the others followed suit.

Lu Xu was stunned.

"Don't be afraid. Once you're inside, just remember one thing: keep your gear on your back the whole time." The old man with a scar on his face patted the backpack on his shoulder.

"And then?" Lu Xuda's ears were burning.

Old Deng smiled.

Everyone laughed.

"Just listen to your own body and see what you should do."

The room has only one window, about twenty inches in size.

There was a burning, pungent aroma coming from the golden incense burner under the small window.

The incense burner emitted billowing white smoke, which, when sunlight streamed through the window, solidified into fragments of dust from the smoke.

There was a bed in the middle of the room, and a woman was on the bed.

It wasn't just heavy makeup; it was as if a bunch of bright colors were glued to the woman's face.

A bold, deep pink blush sculpted the contours of her cheekbones, while a fiery red burned on her lips. Bright blue eyeliner curved at the end, and deep-sea false eyelashes and dark green arched eyebrows concealed a bewitching gaze. Fine gold powder covered every inch of her face, flowing over her long, flowing black hair and extending down to her white neck. Her long, slender black nails resembled the gnarled limbs of a grotesque, indescribable creature.

Her gaudy attire could conceal her appearance and age, but it couldn't hide her unparalleled charm. The air was thick with the scent of hormones, almost as if they were about to ooze sweet juice.

She was completely naked, her fair breasts glistening with the faint traces of the previous man's saliva.

"..." Lu Xu was dumbfounded.

The woman didn't say a word, but simply spread her legs open without any pretense.

Her moist vulva faced Lü Xuda, half-open and half-closed, breathing discreetly like a deep-sea creature.

Where is the male guest who was just having sex with a woman in this room?

have no idea.

There's no need to know.

No man can remain calm in front of this sexually attractive woman.

Only one possibility can occur in this room. Absolute, inevitable, unavoidable, and impossible to suppress under any assumption—the only possibility: mating, mating as intensely as possible. Like a male's final, golden mating before death.

Inevitable death, intense awareness, the only chance to leave behind one's own genes.

— This resulted in unprecedented hardness.

With a blank expression, Lü Xu naturally pulled down his pants completely, revealing his erect penis.

The woman remained silent, but biological instinct drove Lü Xu to thrust his lower body forward.

Combine.

The rapid collision, the all-out effort of swinging the waist, the sudden contraction and expansion of the hip muscles, monotonous yet intense.

This wasn't making love at all; it was mating. Not a single ounce of energy was spared for kissing and caressing. From the very first penetration, there was no compromise; the sole objective was ejaculation.

A woman's body is young, full of elasticity and vitality.

Black fingernails left ten bright red scratches on Lü Xuda's back.

“Huff...huff…” Lu Xu stared blankly at the woman below.

The woman was breathing heavily with her eyes closed, her long hair obscured, making it impossible to see her expression.

Never having experienced such pure sexual intercourse before, Lü Xuda felt his penis, deeply embedded in her vagina, almost melting. The warm, sticky sensation, and the increasingly stimulating scent made Lü Xuda suddenly realize that the woman's body was menstruating.

So, when people say "the day," they mean the day of their menstrual cycle?

Perhaps the prostate had reached its limit, or perhaps the woman's body was not capable of conception during menstruation. The genes stored in Lü Xuda's penis felt a deep sense of betrayal and anger, and Lü Xuda's head began to feel numb and hot.

The penis twitches, preparing to ejaculate the sacred nectar of the origin of life.

As if responding to life, the moist and thick vagina also contracted rapidly.

"!" Lu Xu felt an incredibly powerful suction force rapidly enveloping his penis, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body was enveloped by this unparalleled suction, as if his whole body had been sucked into that tiny vagina. This wasn't illogical; it was simply impossible!

The moment he was shot out, Lü Xu's consciousness collapsed.

All around was pitch black, and a heavy stench of blood assaulted him from all directions. But Lü Xu had no time to be afraid, nor could he muster the courage to be afraid. He felt as if he were on a roller coaster, his body being pulled downwards by a powerful suction force, swinging and tumbling out in a 360-degree arc—

This roller coaster has no seatbelts and it's derailing!

"ah!"

The darkness disappeared.

The smell of blood still lingered in my nasal cavity.

What I saw before me was a forest slowly rising...

wrong!

It's not the jungle that's rising, it's you that's sinking!

Lu Xu was shocked to find that he couldn't stand on solid ground. Before he knew it, the soft, thick, black, rotten soil had reached up to his navel. Of course, he still didn't understand how he had ended up in this primeval jungle. The sense of crisis had triggered his survival instinct. Lu Xu frantically grabbed upwards and finally managed to grab a vine that he could barely hold onto.

So heavy!

...Am I that heavy? No, it's a backpack, a heavy hiking backpack weighing at least twenty kilograms...

This is it, I'm doomed. The buckle is so tight, there's no way to undo it now. I can only pray that the adrenaline rush will unleash twice my usual strength...

Swaying unsteadily, veins bulging, he gritted his teeth. He didn't know how much time had passed before Lü Xu, his lower body naked and hiking pants still hanging down to his calves, struggled to climb the tree using the tangled vines. Panting heavily, he finally saw the situation clearly.

An endless primeval swamp.

Fiery clouds, symbolizing the approaching sunset, rolled across the entire sky.

Millions of insects simultaneously emitted a deafening, complex chirping sound.

"They're doomed."

Lu Xuda didn't seem happy at all.

I spent two days squatting or sitting in the tree, taking countless naps during that time, each lasting no more than five minutes.

He discovered that he had forgotten mosquito repellent, torches, sleeping bags, down-lined raincoats, 100 kilograms of dry food, and a GPS navigator.

Most importantly, I forgot to bring a satellite phone... and a potassium cyanide capsule for quick suicide.

Two days have passed, and Lü Xu has been waiting anxiously for his "companion" but it seems unlikely that the "companion" will come.

He recalled one of Deng Xiaoping's remarks.
