A Professional Avenger

Chapter 17

Lin Yuetian! Answer me, just what the hell did you put in the candle?!

Shen Junyus furious roaring in his helpless and powerless state, all fell to a deaf ear. Having his business smile continued being plastered on his face, Lin Yuetian calmly opened the System Mall. He quickly purchased a product he had long been eyeing in order to accommodate his job.

Its a Drunken Pill, worth 100 points. The effect of this pill was to automatically turn a person to their most intoxicated state (no matter which points their alcohol tolerance originally was). They would expose their deepest desire and exhibit their drunken habit; dancing, singing, picking a fight, or spouting nonsenses were just some examples of what most people would do in this state.

Even the Pills advertisement was quite impressive: {I shall show you what a real Drunkard is!}This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Naturally, Lin Yuetian didnt simply buy the Pill because he wanted to see Shen Junyus stupid drunken behavior. He wasnt bored to such an extent yet. Besides, in the Original memories, there were already several occasions where the Original Owner witnessed the Drunkard Shen Junyu. His alcohol tolerance and his drunken habit were not bad. At most, hed be in a confused state, but he could still be able to perceive and respond to his surrounding.

Truth be told, the Drunk Shen Junyu actually was a lot more approachable than the sober him. This was what that bearer of Stockholm Syndrome felt. After all, the rare few times Shen Junyu went drunk in front of the Original Owner, were the happiest moment when Shen Junyu treated him tenderly. Shen Junyu would smile and laugh, conversing with him in a never seen gentleness. Even if this kind of happiness was an unhealthy coping mechanism, theyre still one of the scarce pleasant memories in the end.

That being said, Lin Yuetian wasnt interested to rekindle the Stockholm Syndromes daydream for the Original owner.

Once he confirmed the purchase verification, a Pill instantly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Without wasting any more time or words, he stuffed this Drunken Pill into Shen Junyus throat.

What have you fed me with?!

True to its description, the medicine did have an immediate effect. A few seconds after Shen Junyus brief freaked-out moment, Lin Yuetian witnessed the man gradually become drunk, showing a pair of hazy eyes and even letting out a few hiccups. He had to praise the ingenuity and credibility of this product. He was not polite and gave a compliment to his System honestly.

Afterward, Lin Yuetian leisurely took off his white shirt, and casually straddled on top of Shen Junyus body. Pinching Shen Junyus jaw with his right hand, he forced the man to face him, revealing the vulnerable and undefensive look of the drunk Shen Junyu.

The System paled in shock. The current picture was too stimulating to watch, he quickly blared a warning to Lin Yuetian,

[Big Brother! What are you going to do??? Listen to me, please! Big Brother, even a Scum Gong is still a Gong! Gong has their Gong Rights! Please dont reverse attack^[1]turning a Seme/Gong into a Bottom! Dont do this, I beg you!]

You, just what are you thinking about Lin Yuetian helplessly explained himself, Im not that kind of person, okay?

[Well, thats a relief] The System breathed a long relieved sigh. [You really scared me to death. Dont you know that this very scene is way too classic? Similar scenes often appear in dozens of strategies in the Counterattack Guidebook I have on me. I thought, I thought that youve been silently hiding your desire and was about to erupt]

Lin Yuetian inwardly wondered, But Ive never been silent and hiding what I want to do though?

However, thats not the point. Right now, the most important thing to care about is the current job, the Big Business at hand!

Lin Yuetians fingers clamping over Shen Junyus jaw was unexpectedly tough and firm, leaving Shen Junyu no other way aside from staring directly at Lin Yuetians face.

After confirming that Shen Junyus focus was right on his own face, he began to speak softly, Junyu, do you recognize me?

Shen Junyu dazedly looked at him for a while and answered using the same soft voice, I knowrecognize

His voice went even more tender, and Lin Yuetian started to guide Shen Junyu patiently, Thenwho am I?

Yuetian Shen Junyu called out a name vaguely.

[Oh, youre actually hitting a jackpot.] The System started to guess, [Is this his real love for the Original Owner after all?]

Lin Yuetian indifferently replied to the Systems interference, Its not my business whether he has real love or not.

Toward Shen Junyu, his reply was, even more, colder; simply raised his hand and slap Shen Junyu on the face.

He didnt intend to give this slap as torture. The body Lin Yuetian was in was simply too frail that such a slap couldnt be felt much. However, he intended to use this slap to tell the other party, why a Flower has an alluring red color^[2]Beauty has their own danger.

Think carefully. Who am IAm I not the one who you love most?

Bai Li?

Lin Yuetian gave an ambiguous confirmation, dragging his words, Guess?

His language and the tone he used to speak seemed to be inlaid with magic. It inevitably made people listen to the obscure guidance and involuntarily follow the direction Lin Yuetian pushed them toward.

It was something that Lin Yuetian learned due to his unusual profession. In his original Cyberpunk world, he had made appointments with more than 30 Psychologists. It wasnt due to any mental illness, after all, Lin Yuetian had always been confident in his healthy mental state. The reason he approached and interacted with both Psychologists and Psychiatrists was to learn and imitate the way they talk to different kinds of people. Observing how they made the patients trust them, and how they guided their patients in a specific thinking direction.

Whats unsurprising was the result of Lin Yuetians evaluation.

More than 30 Psychologists verified that Lin Yuetians mental condition was in perfect health. He had a positive view of living, understood the beauty of life, and even had a remarkable EQ, showing a caring and considerate attitude toward his acquaintances, relatives, and colleagues^[3]its true since LYT actually treats the System like a good colleague all this time, even kind enough to give him a surprise in the previous arc, lol. Its not bragging, but Lin Yuetian was indeed one of the rare 5 Promising Youth in the Cyberworld.

But in the current world;

His right hand was still firmly pinching over Shen Junyus jaw, while his other hand started to caress the part where his slap landed earlier. He kept conversing with the man gently,

Who am I? Junyuyou should know who your closest person is. Somebody you want to see most in your haze, the one you treasured in your heart. I may have stayed by your side all along, someone who gives you an unforgettable memory.  In any case, the one you see in your eyes, the person you think I am, must be the one you love most in your heartlet your real feelings guide you, Junyusay it honestly, you must like me, do you?

Right now, Shen Junyu couldnt be more inebriated. There were only chaotic thoughts in his mind. He could only see a captivating face dangling right in front of him, but he couldnt tell who this person was. However, he was sure that this person must be someone he was familiar with, besides, his voice was incomparably soothing to hear.

He seemed to feel that what the person said was right and convincingbut, wait, was he drunk right now? In the first place, just what were they doing before? He really couldnt recall anything in his mind. He must have drunk a lot.

Theres a saying that, you wouldnt know who truly cherishes you until you fall sick; but youd know the person who your heart delights when youre drunk.

The person in front of him was right. He was drunk, and the one he saw in his eyes was this person, someone who gave him a familiar and pleasant feeling

Shen Junyu couldnt tell who this person was. Was it Lin Yuetian? Or, was it Bai Li? He didnt know, but he knew for sure the person in front of him must be close to him, had accompanied him for a long time, and the one he liked most.

Now this person was asking him, Do you like me?

Shen Junyus answer was, I like you Despite his reply being given in a drunken manner, the way it sounded was indeed sincere. I love you.

[2nd Mission: Make Shen Junyu expresses his sincere loveCompleted.] The Systems announcement followed closely.

***

The System was speechless.

He didnt know if its just him, but he felt the plot shouldnt be this normalno? He couldnt hold himself from roasting Lin Yuetian as he usually did,

[Youre taking advantage of the Missions description again! With him being drunk, receiving your deliberate hint and brainwashing, Im afraid he couldnt even recognize himself, let alone others. Its not clear whether his confession is directed to Lin Yuetian or to his White Moonlight, Bai Yi.]

Well, youre right, its really the result that I expected. Since even if I can guess that he welcomes and enjoys the presence of both the Original Owner and Bai Yi, but I still cant guess which of the two he likes most.

Lin Yuetian confidently elucidated the measure he had taken with a calm tone, Actually, I can also work hard to raise his favorability toward me to achieve the same result. But that definitely requires too much time and effort. What I did right now is the easy and efficient way. Since he liked both people anyway, in this case, when Im in front of him it can be regarded as him professing his love to me, right? Its quick, and efficient, with the same desired ending.

Changing the direction of the conversation, he suddenly asked the System, Okay, now do you have any way to return his clarity?

[Another 100 points can be exchanged for Sober PillOh, wait a minute, first you have to tell me what are you going to do next!]

Isnt that obvious? Of course, Ill continue to complete the 3rd Mission, Make Shen Junyu understand what the Original Owner has felt.

[Youyou wont do any unspeakable thing, will you?] The System really had no basic trust in this companion of his, and questioned Lin Yuetian sternly.

How is that possible? You dont have to worry, I assure you that whatever things I did has never been close to bizarre. Theyre no more than logical, fast, labor-saving, and most importantly, efficient action. Lin Yuetian earnestly vowed, but his hands didnt stay idle, while talking he rummaged upon Shen Junyus body and took out the key to the basement where the Original Owner was often locked inside.

Lin Yuetian played with the key, throwing it up and catching it in his hand firmly.

Leaving the couch, he stood up and plastered another business smile on his face, saying, He will definitely empathize.
