The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 39

After returning to his own body, Jian Tao leaned against the wall and began to cry. It was as if he could not cry the night before, so he was making up for it now.

His shoulders shook as he sobbed pitifully, completely unaware that his roommate had already left. The impact of the supernatural phenomena from the previous night had been far too great for him to handle.

“Tao Tao, get up quickly, or you will be late,” 250 reminded him.

Jian Tao remained immersed in his own world, even saying out of spite, “Let me be late then. I do not even want to work in this crummy world anymore.”

“But you were not harmed at all last night, so you are actually quite capable,” 250 said comfortingly.

“That is because Zhou Jin is a huge jerk! He is a hooligan! I was already in that state, and he still took advantage of me!” Jian Tao practically roared.

“Well, our form last night was a bit… specific,” 250 muttered softly. Seeing that Jian Tao was about to lose his temper, he immediately changed the subject. “Tao Tao, if you give up on this world, it will affect the health points you earned previously. Do you really want to give up?”

Jian Tao wiped the tears from his face. In truth, he did not really want to give up; the shock from the previous night was simply too much, and he needed to vent.

He sat up. “Of course I am not giving up.”

“Who said I was giving up?”

He got up and went to the bathroom. When he found the mirror, he startled himself again. He still could not adapt to his current appearance; seeing it without mental preparation made his heart tremble. At the moment, he looked even worse. He did not remove his makeup at night, and even if he did, he would have to reapply it.

As a result, his makeup had smudged across his face, making him look like a ghost. Jian Tao hurriedly washed his face. Once it was clean, he touched his face in surprise. “Why are there marks on my face that look like I was hit?”

His left eye looked as though it had been punched; the mark was faint, but because his skin was so fair, it appeared quite obvious. He pulled down his collar and saw a ring of pinch marks on his neck. Before 250 could remind him, Jian Tao realized it himself. “These are… the marks from when Zhou Jin hit the rubber man last night!”

250 confirmed it. “Yes.”

Jian Tao began to cry again. “Then will I not be exposed? Moreover, the rubber man last night looked like my original self. Once they see me, will they not know it was me?”

“No, Tao Tao. Your appearance last night was completely different from how you look now. Even with your makeup removed, they cannot tell. Last night, your face was covered in heavy makeup and you had black hair, which is completely different from now. Plus, you were in rubber form,” 250 explained.

After a while, Jian Tao slowly managed to collect his emotions. He looked at himself in the mirror. “It really does seem like they cannot tell.”

When Jian Tao appeared at the small meeting hall on the second floor of the hotel, everyone turned to look at him. Those attending the meeting were not just the players but also the original hotel staff, totaling about twenty or thirty people.

They all looked at him in unison, appearing very eerie, which made Jian Tao too afraid to step forward.

The manager standing before the crowd looked surprised to see him, as if he had not expected Jian Tao to be able to show up at all. However, he quickly regained his stern expression. His voice sounded exceptionally authoritative in the empty hall. “Jian Tao, you are late. Do you know that?”

As soon as the manager finished speaking, the staff members repeated in unison, “Late, late.”

Jian Tao was struck by a wave of panic. He looked toward his fellow players who were standing in the ranks; some frowned at him, while others chose to ignore him.

Then the manager spoke again. “You must accept punishment.”

The unison voices rose again, “Punishment, punishment.”

Jian Tao clenched his hands as tears welled in his eyes. Just then, the manager looked back at the group. “Li Liqun, there was a complaint against you yesterday, and you actually damaged hotel property. That is an even greater offense!”

The manager’s voice became even more stern, bordering on ruthless. “The most important rule in the employee handbook is: Do not damage hotel facilities, or you will be severely punished!”

Again, the unison voices chimed, “Severely punished, severely punished.”

“The two of you will be placed in solitary confinement separately,” the manager said.

Immediately, staff members stepped forward to restrain Jian Tao, while others dragged Li Liqun out of the line. The two were pressed together side by side.

Jian Tao’s face turned white with fear. Seeing his state, Li Liqun did not miss the chance to mock him. “Do not wet your pants later.”

Jian Tao swallowed. Seeing Li Liqun’s casual and reckless attitude actually made him feel slightly less terrified. The other man relieved his tension because he gave off the impression that this was no big deal.

Next to the audiovisual room of the small hall were two storage rooms for tableware. The two were locked into them separately.

Once the door closed, Jian Tao shrunk into a corner and crouched against the wall, his body shaking uncontrollably. Although he had felt less terrified a moment ago, being in a completely sealed space in pitch-black darkness was terrifying in its own right!

Jian Tao’s tears began to fall rapidly as he curled into a ball. He had originally thought that solitary confinement simply meant waiting out the time, but he realized the temperature was dropping lower and lower.

It reached a point where it made one shiver. Suddenly, he felt a cold hand slide under his clothes, repeatedly feeling around his waist.

Jian Tao’s scream was caught in his throat. He did not know who he was pleading with. “Please, stop touching me…”

The air seemed to freeze for an instant. The owner of the hands seemed to have actually heard his words; the stroking stopped. Then, the figure greedily pinched the soft flesh of his waist before withdrawing the hand from his clothes to touch his face and wipe away his tears.

Mired in fear, Jian Tao’s nerves were pulled taut like a wire. He did not know how long it lasted, but finally, the door was opened, and Jian Tao rushed out.

He did not see clearly who was outside the door, but he threw himself into their arms anyway. “Waaaah, a ghost was touching me…”

After a long while, he heard a cold voice. “Let go.”

Jian Tao’s emotions finally settled. He looked up and saw that the person he was hugging was the Main Receiver, Gu Huaian. Gu Huaian did not look at him, leaving him with only a view of his sharp jawline.

Jian Tao released him and followed his gaze toward the other door. All the players were present, waiting for Li Liqun to come out.

Soon, Li Liqun’s door also opened, but he clearly was not as lucky as Jian Tao. The moment the door opened, he collapsed directly onto the floor.

Everyone rushed forward to check on him. His face was devoid of color and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked as though he had experienced something horrific that had nearly taken half his life.

Zhou Jin stepped forward to help Li Liqun sit up and patted his face. “What happened to you?”

Li Liqun was extremely weak. He slowly opened his eyes and said, “My blood was sucked.”

At those words, everyone froze. They all instinctively looked at Jian Tao. He was the first to come out and appeared to be fine, so they had assumed Li Liqun would also be fine. But now it seemed his situation was very serious.

Jian Tao’s fingers unconsciously picked at the hem of his pants. He was also terrified, but he felt that the others did not need to look at him that way. After all, he was only late, whereas Li Liqun had crossed the hotel’s bottom line.

Just then, the manager, who had returned, shouted from the doorway, “Do not linger in the small hall. Get to your posts!”

Li Liqun was supported by Zhou Jin. “I will take him back to the dormitory first. We will meet in the staircase on the second floor later.”

Jian Tao gave a sound of agreement and, seeing that they had all left, went to the restroom alone.

When he saw the mirror, he was caught off guard and frightened by his own reflection again. His makeup had been ruined by his crying earlier. No wonder Gu Huaian had been so disdainful; his ghost-like appearance was indeed off-putting.

Thinking about this made Jian Tao cry again, as the memory of being alone in the dark room made him feel even more aggrieved and afraid.

Just then, the sound of running water came from the faucet nearby. Jian Tao looked over and saw the manager washing his hands. Seeing Jian Tao look at him, a chilling smile appeared on the manager’s stern face. “Now you know the power of the solitary confinement room. Will you make another mistake next time?”

Jian Tao shook his head vigorously and buried his face in the sink, using cold water to clear his head and avoid facing the manager. He was a little afraid of him.

When he was nearly out of breath, he lifted his head and saw that the manager had not left. He was looking at Jian Tao like a pitiful little animal, with a half-smile on his face.

Jian Tao was momentarily at a loss. He hurried to grab some tissues to wipe his face, removing the makeup in the process.

As the manager watched Jian Tao through the mirror, his expression gradually froze, and he even seemed to take a sharp breath.

After a long while, his chest stopped heaving, and he spoke softly. “You are Jian Tao, right?”

Jian Tao looked over blankly. “Yes… what is it, Manager?”

He was not sure if it was his imagination, but he felt the manager’s smile had softened. The manager reached out to tuck Jian Tao’s messy hair behind his ear, his fingertip wiping away a tear stain from Jian Tao’s reddened eye.

“Do not make this kind of mistake again next time, do you understand?” the manager said warmly.

Jian Tao nodded dumbly. “I understand.”

“Good boy,” the manager said with a smile. He then took a hard-boiled egg out of his pocket and placed it in Jian Tao’s hand. “You did not eat breakfast, right? Eat this.”

Jian Tao looked at the round egg, and his eyes lit up. “Thank you, Manager.”

“Mm. If there is anything you do not understand in the future, come and ask me,” the manager said, then checked his watch. “I have to go now. Be a good boy and eat the egg.”

“Okay!” Jian Tao replied. He did not know why the manager had suddenly become so nice to him. Although it gave him goosebumps, at least he had something for breakfast.

After reapplying his makeup, Jian Tao walked toward the meeting spot Zhou Jin had mentioned, peeling and eating the egg as he went.

When he arrived, everyone except Li Liqun, who had been sent back to the dormitory, was there.

Seeing him, Zhao Jingyu, who had been curious back in the small meeting room, asked, “What happened while you were in the solitary confinement room?”

Jian Tao felt it was a bit hard to talk about. “It… it just felt like a ghost was touching me.”

The group exchanged glances for a moment, followed by Zhou Jin’s scoff. He looked Jian Tao up and down with disdain. “What? Was this ghost a pervert?”

“Really…” Jian Tao muttered. Seeing that no one believed him, he lifted the hem of his shirt. “Look, there are finger marks left on my waist.”

The expressions on everyone’s faces were a mix of surprise, bewilderment, and complexity. The atmosphere fell into silence.

Jian Tao’s skin was very fair and tender, clearly the type that bruised easily. His waist was also beautiful, with a slender and elegant curve, and even his navel was exceptionally cute.

Who could have imagined that this Shamat had such a beautiful waist? The others could not help but look a few more times. Only Gu Huaian, after a glance, asked, “What was that ghost doing touching you?”

Jian Tao lowered his shirt. “How should I know?”

“Let’s talk about what everyone discovered yesterday,” Gu Huaian said coldly.

“I found an anomaly on the eighth floor. The temperature there is much lower than on the other floors,” Zhao Jingyu said.

Upon hearing this, Jian Tao’s heart immediately leaped into his throat. He had come from the eighth-floor last night! Could it have something to do with him?

“The eighth floor is the top floor. It is indeed unusual,” Gu Huaian agreed.

“What about you, Jian Tao? Did you find anything?” Gu Huaian asked him.

Jian Tao’s heart was pounding with nervousness. If he spoke about what happened last night, would everyone immediately treat him as the murderer and eliminate him?

Jian Tao did not dare take the risk. He shook his head. The group guessed they wouldn’t get anything out of him anyway, so they moved on.

Then Zhou Jin spoke, smiling as if reminiscing about something. “Last night, a beautiful NPC broke into my room. He said he had taken a liking to me and even proactively kissed me, holding onto my waist and refusing to let go.”

Jian Tao’s face exploded in red, and he glared at Zhou Jin with a look of pure resentment. This big jerk was full of lies!
