Restricted Fantasy I Chapter 180: A Greater Evil

"Ah, the questions this ti were so hard!"

"The exams are already over, stop talking about it. Let's go, we're heading to my house to play gas!"

"..."

"We're going on the School Trip next week. Where did your Class A vote to go?"

"I don't know. The girls in the class all said they want to see where the President votes."

"..."

Friday, Afternoon.

As the distant sound of the Far Moon Clock Tower's bell chid, Yan Huan packed the stationery on his desk into his school bag.

Just as he was about to stand up and leave, several female classmates walked over, asking with bright smiles,

"President, we have to submit our votes for the School Trip next Monday. Where do you want to go?"

"Yoko is in charge this ti..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan recalled the few destination options the school had provided for the School Trip.

In previous years, most classes went sowhere near East Asia. He heard that the year before last, the third-years rented a few islands in the Maldives and played there for ten days.

The next most popular choices were Western Europe and Australia, while a few classes occasionally chose Ying Country.

Dragon Country was not on the list of alternatives provided by Far Moon Academy. Perhaps there were no partnered businesses over there, even though there were plenty in other regions.

"Hmm..."

As Yan Huan pondered, he suddenly rembered Tong Yingying ntioning that she was going to Sakura Country.

So, pausing for a mont, he replied,

"I'm leaning more towards visiting Sakura Country."

"Oh, is that so~"

The girls covered their mouths and chuckled. It seed they had only co to find out his preference.

After asking, they turned and ran off, leaving Yan Huan completely bewildered.

Fortunately, the Student Council was not in charge of the School Trip. Otherwise, leading a huge group of people to a foreign land would have truly given him a massive headache.

The top priority right now was the Physiological Health Lecture before the School Trip next week.

He wondered how Yabashi Ki's inquiries were going; he would have to send a ssage to ask later.

"..."

Having packed his things, Yan Huan glanced at the gloomy weather outside.

The pink sunset was hidden behind the dismal clouds, dyeing the sky with a filthy yet dazzling hue.

The rain scent gradually thickened, but strangely, it lacked the usual earthy sll, carrying a trace of fragrance instead...

It was an intoxicating scent, much like flowers.

"Hiss, looks like it's going to rain again..."

Carrying his bag to catch the school bus, Yan Huan silently calculated the current situation in his mind.

Spencer was currently acting like a treasured child with her mother around, and Sakuramiya showed no signs of using her Modifier again.

As for Bai Yi, he and An Le were going to attend her charity concert at the hospital tomorrow, so there was no need to worry about her.

Only Ye Shiyu still made him quite anxious.

Truth be told, Yan Huan had always dealt with Ye Shiyu by relying on his mask to deceive and ambush her, or by borrowing the authority of Ye Lan to suppress her.

Overall, Yan Huan had always maintained a defensive and passive stance when dealing with Ye Shiyu.

However, Yan Huan couldn't help but wonder: 'Is it really viable to keep relying on Auntie Ye like this?'

Ye Shiyu's current emotional knot was tied to him, not Auntie Ye.

As the saying went, he who tied the bell must untie it. Relying on a third party was ultimately treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

No wonder Ye Shiyu always acted like a demon, ready to slash anyone she saw, and dealing three or four extra slashes to any other opposite-sex individuals who got close to him.

"If this continues, sooner or later, the Five Elents Mountain won't be able to hold down this Monkey King, Ye Shiyu. I need to take the initiative," he muttered.

Perhaps the relaxing monts he recently spent with Spencer had given him courage, prompting the usually avoidant Yan Huan to take the initiative and call Ye Lan.

"Beep... beep..."

"Hello, Xiao Huan. What's the matter?"

Hearing Ye Lan's gentle voice on the other end of the line, Yan Huan's smile grew wider.

"Auntie Ye, since it's the weekend, I was thinking about when I could co visit you and have a al with Sister Shiyu."

"Oh my, you're so thoughtful."

Ye Lan's voice carried a hint of a smile.

"But Auntie has been a bit busy lately and rarely cos ho. I'm afraid it won't work out for now."

"That's okay, Auntie. Can I ask Sister Shiyu out instead?"

"Hmm, today probably won't work."

Ye Lan was sowhat hesitant. After all, she knew her daughter harbored improper thoughts about Yan Huan.

Yan Huan was unaware of this, but if the two of them went out alone, who knew what might happen.

Fortunately, Ye Lan had a valid reason to refuse today.

"Today?"

"Yes... That child ntioned sothing about hanging out with her classmates today and not eating at ho tonight. She didn't even ask the driver to pick her up... So, let's do it next ti, Xiao Huan."

Ye Lan smiled softly, comforting him,

"Once Auntie is done with this busy period, I'll take both of you out to play~"

"...Alright, Auntie. I won't bother you anymore. I'll hang up now."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Huan was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Shiyu, hanging out with classmates?

With her personality, what kind of nonsense classmate gathering could she possibly have!

The problem was that what Ye Lan just said didn't sound like a hastily fabricated excuse.

How could Ye Lan not know her own daughter's temperant?

Even if she didn't want him and Ye Shiyu to et alone, she could easily have said there were other plans at ho. There was no need to use such an obviously unreasonable excuse.

And since Ye Lan actually said that, it ant...

Ye Shiyu really told her that!

Thinking of this, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in Yan Huan's heart.

Especially...

Ye Lan had just ntioned that she didn't send the driver to pick Ye Shiyu up from school.

Therefore, Ye Shiyu was still at school...

What was she planning to do?

Yan Huan stood on the path to catch the school bus, frowning.

The next second, he suddenly recalled the words An Le had spoken yesterday after slipping into his seat...

'No way, right?'

'Ye Shiyu, don't tell

you're...'

Yan Huan's pupils constricted slightly. He turned his head to look at the Teaching Building, which sat eerily quiet beneath the pinkish, gloomy clouds, and his expression turned grim.

'Ye Shiyu, if you really dare to hypnotize An Le...'

Yan Huan took a deep breath, glanced back at the school bus that was about to depart, but then imdiately snapped his head back and sprinted toward the Teaching Building.

"Beep beep..."

First-Year Departnt, First-Year Class C.

"An Le, I have an ergency today. Could you please help

with my Daily Duty? I'll help you next ti it's our turn... Please, please, it's really urgent!"

"It's fine, you can go. I was going to wait for soone today anyway, so just leave it to ."

"Thank you, thank you!"

A female student thanked An Le, who was holding a broom, and then walked out the door to et up with her waiting friends.

Her friend glanced at An Le, who was obediently sweeping the floor with the broom in the classroom, and couldn't help but remark,

"Didn't you say the exact sa thing to her last month?"

"Oh well, she'll forget about it by next ti anyway. Let's go, let's go, we're going to miss the movie. Did you call a car?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

Just as the two turned around to run off, their eyes suddenly t a long, straight, black-haired girl sitting expressionlessly on the corridor bench.

The girl looked at them, and with just one glance, she caused them to freeze in place.

"..."

The two girls swallowed hard, their backs unconsciously breaking out in a cold sweat.

'What was going on? We just scared ourselves...'

A second later, they finally snapped out of their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Unaware of Ye Shiyu's terrifying nature, they blad this fear on the fact that she was sitting silently in the middle of the corridor.

Glaring at Ye Shiyu, the two finally ran off, heading out of the school.

With the departure of these two from First-Year Class C, the entire building seed to fall silent, with no one else around.

Ye Shiyu watched them leave, then lowered her head to look at the phone in her hand.

The Hypnosis App had been accessible for quite so ti now. Although it hadn't fully recovered, it should be usable for a short while.

This also ant that Ye Shiyu's heart was no longer filled with the emptiness and void from before.

Previously, nothing Ye Shiyu did could arouse her interest, nor did she have any emotional feedback to anything.

In all the world, it seed only her mother and Xiao Huan could elicit her emotions.

Therefore, her anger toward others trying to lay their hands on Xiao Huan stood out so starkly amidst the void.

It was precisely because of this that she had co to the First-Year Departnt at this mont, to settle the score with An Le for the words she spoke yesterday.

"..."

But ultimately, her Hypnosis App had not fully recovered.

Hence, her inner state wasn't as utterly dead as before.

Looking at the retreating backs of the girls who treated An Le like that, Ye Shiyu gripped her phone, her expression hesitating for a mont.

The phone screen began to flicker with static again—it seed that whenever she had an uneasy mind, the phone would react accordingly.

After a mont of silence, Ye Shiyu gently pressed the lock screen button, turning off the display.

Then, she intended to get up and leave.

But just as she was about to stand, An Le's soft and sweet voice drifted over from the side,

"Senior Student Ye, you've arrived."

"..."

Ye Shiyu's movent stiffened slightly. She turned her head and saw An Le, who had co out holding a dustpan to empty the dirt.

She wore the Far Moon school uniform, a shy smile on her face.

Her gaze was lowered towards the trash can, not directed at Ye Shiyu, nor at any electronic devices.

Her figure was impressive. It was only from this side angle that Ye Shiyu fully grasped her exaggerated curves.

"..."

"Senior Student Ye, you ca looking for

because of what I said yesterday, right?"

When those words were spoken, it beca solid evidence in Ye Shiyu's mind: An Le had deliberately said those things yesterday.

Realizing this, the unprovoked anger that Ye Shiyu had initially extinguished began to rise again.

"Are you provoking ?"

"Hmm, but everything I said before was the truth."

'The truth?'

'In other words...'

"Whether it was promising to be his bride while playing house, sharing a bed together, or those things my mama told ...

"All of it, all of it is true."

These were things she could only achieve through hypnosis, yet An Le had done them effortlessly in the past.

Hearing this, Ye Shiyu's pupils contracted.

A terrifying pressure instantly surged forth.

But An Le seed to feel absolutely nothing.

Ye Shiyu clutched her phone tightly. Expressionless, she declared,

"These... are all things of the past. And right now, Xiao Huan's feelings for you are definitely not romantic love..."

"That's true..."

An Le lowered her eyes, watching all the dust from the dustpan fall into the trash can.

"But isn't Xiao Huan's attitude toward you the sa, Senior Student Ye?"

"..."

"No matter how beautiful the smile on Xiao Huan's face is, that deep-seated disgust for you, Senior Student Ye, stemming from his body and heart, cannot be hidden..."

Saying this, An Le smiled faintly and enunciated every word to her,

"Xiao Huan really hates you, Senior Student Ye."

Ye Shiyu's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and her completely expressionless face finally turned incredibly ugly.

She was so furious that her body trembled slightly, her fingers gripping her phone as if trying to crush it.

"You're lying!"

Without looking at Ye Shiyu, whose defenses were instantly broken by that single sentence, An Le smiled shyly, continuing her relentless verbal assault.

"Even if Xiao Huan right now... no, has never liked

romantically, I've accepted it.

"But at the very least, Xiao Huan doesn't hate , right?

"On the contrary, it's you, Senior Student Ye, who has always treated Xiao Huan as your possession, yet you can't even admit the fact that he hates you."

An Le set down the dustpan and said softly,

"You're so pathetic, Senior Student Ye."

"..."

Ye Shiyu almost couldn't catch her breath. Her eyes were bloodshot as she clutched her chest, panting heavily.

She desperately gripped the edge of the corridor bench. The lights of all the surrounding surveillance caras began to flash, and even the electronic devices like the whiteboard in the classroom started flickering with static screens...

A terrifying shadow enveloped Far Moon Academy, and the surrounding temperature plumted drastically.

In this weather, anyone would shudder with fear. "An Le... You're... courting death... You forced ..."

Hearing this, An Le just shook her head and replied,

"You forced yourself, Senior Student Ye."

At these words, the exasperated Ye Shiyu, amidst her extre fury, finally realized sothing was amiss.

'Wait.'

'Xiao Huan...'

'He didn't know what she had done, so how could he hate her?'

However, this An Le clearly knew about the things she had done to Xiao Huan, which was why she spoke like that.

'She had only told her mother about these things. How could An Le...'

Just as Ye Shiyu stood on the brink of rage yet full of shock and suspicion, An Le smiled bashfully again and pulled out a cloth-like Eye Mask from her pocket.

While stretching the Eye Mask, An Le stated,

"Besides, Senior Student Ye, you seem to have misunderstood sothing...

"You think you took the initiative to co settle the score with ; in truth, I've been waiting for you to walk right into my trap."

An Le smiled faintly, lifted the Eye Mask, and tied it layer after layer over her eyes.

It wasn't until those eyes were bound airtight, until a dead knot was tied at the back of An Le's head, that Ye Shiyu suddenly recalled what An Le had said to that girl in the classroom earlier:

"It's fine, you can go. I was going to wait for soone today anyway, so just leave it to ..."

'She was... waiting for her to co?'

Ye Shiyu watched in disbelief as the aura of the harmless-looking An Le gradually changed after putting on that Eye Mask.

And at this mont, seeing An Le with her eyes tightly bound, Ye Shiyu finally realized that sothing was very wrong.

'How could she...'

'Act as if she knew she could be hypnotized and specifically protected her eyes?'

Above in the sky, the initially chilling shadows were gradually covered by an unclean pink hue.

The light cast into the corridor, dyeing Ye Shiyu's face with an indistinct brilliance akin to neon lights.

"Just now, when you saw those people bullying , you originally planned to leave, right, Senior Student Ye?"

"..."

"Obviously, even if the original you had problems, deep down, you should be a very gentle person."

"..."

"Yet now, you've turned into this..."

An Le sighed, and Ye Shiyu could clearly see the muscles below her neck gradually turning deathly pale.

An imperceptible fishy sll began to perate the air, much like the scent of a seafood market.

Wearing the Eye Mask that tightly bound her eyes, An Le turned her head toward Ye Shiyu and finally said softly,

"It's okay, I'll help you, Senior Student Ye.

"When everything is over, you will forget all of this and return to how you used to be."

The mont these words left her mouth, Ye Shiyu's heart felt an extre sense of danger for the first ti.

And accompanying that danger was...

Trembling!

Ye Shiyu's pupils shrank. Her personality would absolutely never tolerate this kind of feeling.

Thus, she planned to strike first and gain the upper hand.

She couldn't care less anymore!

An Le thought she couldn't be hypnotized with her eyes covered, but as long as Ye Shiyu got close and untied her Eye Mask...

Once the hypnosis succeeded, An Le would be completely finished!

With this thought, Ye Shiyu suddenly sprang up and lunged toward An Le with blinding speed.

But just as she moved, Ye Shiyu felt a slight chill on her cheek...

It was a gentle breeze brushing against her skin.

But it felt more like sothing invisible was pushing the air and swinging right at her face!

Ye Shiyu was montarily stunned. She hastily stopped in her tracks and took a step back.

"Glug, glug!"

In the air, a Tentacle brushed past Ye Shiyu's cheek just like that.

If she had taken just one more step forward, that Tentacle would have touched her...

An Le couldn't see, but the Little Finger on her shoulder gasped in shock.

"What sharp senses... This... An Le, she's a tough opponent. How about we retreat first..."

"Shut up!"

"Oh..."

At this mont, an illusory Tentacle extended from behind An Le, glaring like a tiger at the change in Ye Shiyu's expression.

Apart from the Tentacles, An Le possessed two abilities.

One was to freely manipulate an individual's pleasure within 15 ters, and the other was to apply the Superconductor to an individual within a 15-ter range.

But whichever it was, both had a limited number of uses.

She had previously used the Superconductor once on the driver, and Pleasure Manipulation twice on Spencer, leaving her with barely any uses for the rest of the week.

The crucial point was that Little Finger had ntioned that other Hosts possessed Resistance to her superpowers.

A single application wouldn't be enough to make Ye Shiyu sink into euphoria to the point of willingly surrendering the Index Finger.

Therefore, she had to rely on her Tentacles—an ability with unlimited uses—to repeatedly inflict pleasure upon her.

"...Then, let's continue. Tell

her position, Little Finger."

"Okay."

With her eyes bound, An Le could still rely on the Little Finger on her shoulder to lock onto Ye Shiyu.

Especially in this narrow corridor, Ye Shiyu had virtually nowhere to run.

"Twelve o'clock direction, 6 ters!"

"Glug, glug!!"

The single Tentacle behind An Le abruptly split into three, locking onto Ye Shiyu from the left, right, and center.

Ye Shiyu couldn't see the Tentacles, but she still sensed them. She executed a backflip, narrowly dodging the three whipping appendages.

"Holy shit, she can pull off a move like that?! Is she Ip Man?!"

Little Finger was astounded, the urge to back out growing even stronger.

"Not... not good! An Le, she's... she's charging at us!!"

And indeed, the very next second, Ye Shiyu dashed swiftly toward An Le.

Such fast speed!

Little Finger almost jumped out of its skin in fright as the Index Finger charged forward like an abyssal maw.

But An Le remained unhurried. She raised her blindfolded face, aiming it directly at Ye Shiyu.

Pleasure Manipulation!

"!!"

Don't forget, she still had one chance to use ranged Pleasure Manipulation this week!

With just a 'look' from An Le, Ye Shiyu's entire body went slightly numb. Her face flushed bright red as her limbs went soft, causing her to fall to one knee.

"Ha... ha..."

Ye Shiyu looked at her hands in disbelief, only to see her skin turning pink and her field of vision gradually blurring.

"I... woo..."

"Glug, glug!"

In the following second, the three surrounding Tentacles violently lunged and entangled her.

"Smack!"

The mont one touched her right hand, Ye Shiyu felt a rush of pleasure, akin to an electric current, surge into half of her body.

"Mnn..."

'If you want happiness, abandon everything...'

'Just feel the joy...'

'Co on...'

'Co on...'

This consciousness flooded into Ye Shiyu's body alongside the euphoria, causing her eyes to instantly lose focus. The phone she had been tightly gripping fell to the floor.

"Glug, glug~"

'It... it's over...'

In just a single encounter, Ye Shiyu had directly lost all her ans to fight back, getting completely overwheld and suppressed by An Le.

"Huh? Why didn't this damn Index Finger bite ?"

The mont the Tentacles wrapped around Ye Shiyu, Little Finger's tiny face wrinkled, as if it had stuck its hand into the jaws of a vicious dog.

But a second passed, and no pain ca whatsoever.

Doubt rose in Little Finger's heart. It took a closer look, then realizing sothing, it burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, heaven is truly helping ! So this Index Finger is still injured! No wonder... We won! We won, An Le!!"

Little Finger gloated upon achieving its aim, but An Le rely pursed her lips, using the Tentacles to perceive Ye Shiyu's gasps of mingled pain and pleasure.

At the sa ti, she didn't stop for a mont. She manipulated the other two Tentacles to twist slightly, aiming to bind Ye Shiyu's other arm and waist.

Three Tentacles injecting pleasure all at once...

An Le believed that in just a few minutes, she would surrender everything.

"I'm sorry, Senior Student Ye..."

An Le opened her mouth and murmured softly.

But the very next second after she spoke, the phone that had been playing dead beside Ye Shiyu suddenly flared with a vicious glint.

"Buzz!!"

A purple light flashed on the phone screen. From a vortex-like black hole, a bloody maw abruptly opened and took a massive bite out of the Tentacle entangling Ye Shiyu.

"Snap!"

That Tentacle snapped off at the bite.

"Ugh!"

A prickling sensation of intense pain instantly pierced An Le's brain, causing the remaining two Tentacles to tremble and fall to the floor.

anwhile, Ye Shiyu, who had been torturously overwheld by pleasure, finally recovered a sliver of clarity.

'No...'

'I can't...'

'I have to escape!'

'Otherwise...'

"Ha... ha..."

Ye Shiyu was covered in cold sweat. Her eyes were unfocused, and her body was frighteningly limp, as if she had completely lost control of it.

However, her survival instinct invigorated her for a split second. Using every ounce of her remaining strength, she stood up, grabbed her phone, and limped away towards the back.

"Woo... woo..."

Behind her, An Le, having lost a Tentacle, collapsed to the floor in extre agony, gasping for air.

Even though she had no sensation below her neck, the pain radiating from there right now was excruciating.

"Glug, glug~"

Amidst that extre tornt, the severed Tentacle unexpectedly began to grow back, little by little.

And as the Tentacle regenerated, the skin below An Le's neck beca visibly paler to the naked eye.

In exchange, the newly grown Tentacle seed to have beco sowhat sturdier, no longer as soft and fleshy as before.

"Woo..."

The next second, when the Tentacle had fully regenerated, it went mad from the stimulation of pain, lashing out wildly in all directions.

"Smack!!"

"Sister Shiyu! An Le!"

Yan Huan jogged all the way back, but looking at the completely silent Teaching Building, he had a particularly ominous feeling.

He hadn't found Ye Shiyu at the Second-Year Departnt, and Class A of the second year had long since emptied out.

Only then did he run back to the First-Year Departnt to try his luck.

His calls to Ye Shiyu wouldn't go through at all; it was as if the entire school had lost its signal.

Every electronic device, surveillance cara, and whiteboard was flashing an uncomfortable, glaring light.

This further confird Yan Huan's suspicion: Ye Shiyu was about to start a slaughter again.

"Damn it, Ye Shiyu, you truly are hopeless!!"

Yan Huan's expression was grim. Just as he was cursing Ye Shiyu in his heart, a groan suddenly echoed from the steps behind him,

"Xiao... Xiao Huan..."

"Ah?"

Yan Huan was slightly stunned. He turned his head and saw Ye Shiyu at the entrance of the First-Year Departnt. Her hair and clothes were completely soaked in sweat, and she was collapsed by the side of the road, leaning against the wall.

"Sister Shiyu?"

She leaned against the wall. Her phone and shoes had fallen to the side, revealing her feet wrapped in black tights.

Her face was flushed red, and she had a dazed expression, looking both miserable and fragile.

Upon seeing Yan Huan, she finally relaxed a little, but still gritted her teeth and struggled to say to him,

"Xiao Huan... run... run away quickly..."

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Yan Huan's mind went entirely blank.

'Wait...'

'That Terrifying Hypnosis Domain Master who always used Zero-Fra Activation actually...'

'Lost?!'

Looking at her disheveled clothes, seeing her utterly defeated, extrely fragile, and weakly telling him to "run away quickly"...

Yan Huan admitted it: he was truly a little scared.

Ye Shiyu was terrifying enough already. Wouldn't whatever managed to beat her like this be several tis more terrifying?

Yan Huan glanced around at the campus enveloped in an unclean pink halo and slled the strange fishy scent in the air, which seed to still be searching for Ye Shiyu.

"..."

Hesitating for a re second, Yan Huan hurriedly rushed to Ye Shiyu and hoisted her up.

"Sister Shiyu, I'll get you out of here first!"

"Mnn..."

Ye Shiyu had completely lost consciousness. Her head drooped as she leaned into Yan Huan's arms, panting incredibly weakly.

Yan Huan glanced back at the campus emitting terrifying noises, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave with Ye Shiyu in tow.

"Glug, glug~"
