?
He felt as if he was struck by thunder.
The silhouette that resembled a human approached him gradually, and Kubei still could not see anything in the dark. He could not check if the face was as horrendous as the ones with special effects that were drawn onto the actors. However, once he got out from shock and recalled the zombie movies he watched, he realised that this thing before him was not very threatening after all.
Look at the speed it had. It was moving like a sloth; how dangerous could it be?
Hence, Kubei calmed himself down and raised the heavy item he had in his hand. He waited quietly for it to come over. Around 30 seconds later, when he judged that the distance was appropriate, he threw the can directly at the thing's head.
Clang!
A loud sound was heard, and Kubei felt a headache vicariously from the thing.
It halted it movements. Kubei nervously glanced at the silhouette, afraid that the impact did not affect it. The can was not very heavy at all. Based on this body that he teleported into, there was only a few heavy things that he could carry.
If it was not afraid of the can, what should he do?
Not the Waterball Spell, right? He never heard of zombies that are terrified of water.
Just when Kubei was anxiously staring at the thing, a horrifying scream started from the silhouette.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
That was such a devastating cry, it resembled an old cat with its tail stepped by a 200-pound person. It echoed throughout the mansion, and the lights in every single room lit up simultaneously, the doors opened one by one, footsteps were heard from every direction.
The once silent night suddenly became rowdy.
"Why? What happened?"
"Who was making so much noise in the middle of the night?"
"That voice, it was quite familiar."
"…."
The darkness was chased away, and Kubei was finally able to clearly see his surroundings.
The strange silhouette a few steps away from him was a man with golden hair. He wore silk pyjamas, his face was one of utter shock, an unknown brown liquid dripping from his beautiful curled hair. His pearly white pyjamas was also stained with lines of the liquid.
"Ah, oh…."
Kubei's expression turned bad once he saw what happened.
So, the setting of this world was not weird. That was a human, not a zombie.
So, the can he used as a defensive weapon was…. Not an ordinary can.
Let us just say that it was the 'toilet' of this world.
The people of the house slowly gathered around them, most of them clad in rough sackcloth, and a few of them in silk pyjamas. Most of them were sleepy, but once they arrived, their eyes widened in disbelief.
As more and more people gathered around them, the rowdiness settled into silence.
Everyone was staring at the gold-haired man, and they dare not breathe. Not a sound was made.
"Pfft..."
Kubei could not help but laugh at the situation, but he quickly stopped himself as he knew that it was inappropriate.
"I am incredibly sorry, I did not intend to do so," it was so painfully hard for him to stifle his laugh.
The gold-haired man snapped back into reality and touched the unknown liquid on his face. He glared at Kubei, and his voice trembled like a c.o.c.k with its throat slit, blood gurgling down its throat, "You… you… I… I… I… f.u.c.k… f.u.c.k…."
Kubei tried hard to supress his laughter, his face twisted in agony.
The golden-haired man's face was scarlet, his chest heaved continuously, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he wanted to finish his sentence, but his anger and despair choked his words in his throat.
"Do you want to say something?" Kubei asked with a friendly tone.
The golden-haired man seemed to be more agitated after that. He started twitching, and he pointed at Kubei with a trembling hand like a conductor for a long time. The unknown matter on his body went everywhere due to his trembling.
"Oh, don't be too excited. Take a deep breath, and slow down." Kubei felt like he was the most considerate person in the world.
It seemed like the golden-haired man was comforted, as he inhaled deeply after Kubei's words. Before he could exhale, his eyes rolled upwards, and he fainted with a thump onto the floor.
"…."
Dead silence.
Pin drop silence.
The people glanced at Kubei and the man fainted in the puddle of faeces, and occasionally shared eye contact among themselves, as if all this was outside of their comprehension. They were like a bunch of people under the Binding Spell, unmoving, and muted.
Awkward silence.
Awkward stench, too.
At this moment with the worst timing ever, a mechanical voice said in Kubei's mind, "Wow, this dude is eating s.h.i.+t though."
The System's attack was too sudden, Kubei could not help but lose his control. He laughed.
Every pair of eyes in the room focused on him. It was exactly how visitors would study a rare animal in a zoo. Kubei felt like he was under 10 spotlights, and he was very stressed about that.
He would be okay if they were just staring, but they were extremely quiet too. Kubei was very tense under the scrutiny.
He needed to say something.
"Um, it's late, shouldn't everyone be asleep?"
