Chapter 118

After doing all this, Shi Jian acted as if she had just realized something. “Ah, my hand slipped. Why is this phone acting up?”

Miss Shi, with little sincerity, said this as she turned off the recording mode.

Butler Tang: “……”

The audience was quite pleased with the chemistry between the big celebrity and her resentful servant.

Pointing fingers: Butler Tang, why did you keep denying it before? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just admit it earlier?

However, the people on site weren’t as relaxed as the viewers.

Everyone there had experienced many instances and faced all kinds of dangers. Tang Tian could feel—

Butler Tang had killing intent just now!

Shi Jian also broke into a cold sweat down her back, though her expression didn’t show it. She continued to play it cool and spar with Butler Tang as if nothing had happened.

Taking it one step at a time.

Now that he had admitted his identity, Butler Tang dropped his earlier awkwardness and gave Shi Jian a smile, as if he’d truly switched into the old acquaintance mode.

He even took the initiative to bring up the matter of compensation.

Butler Tang spoke apologetically, “Paying compensation is no problem. Our amusement park takes guest experience very seriously. This time it was indeed our mistake… However, I don’t have any cash on hand right now. I’ll need you to come with me to the bank inside the park to withdraw it.”

Sounded like a reasonable explanation.

Shi Jian asked, “Can’t you just transfer it online?”

“No cash is no problem. I support all forms of online transactions here.” A very agreeable beauty.

Butler Tang: “...That won’t work. The park doesn’t support online payments.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian couldn’t help but comment, “You guys are really behind the times.”

Butler Tang: …

Damn it, are they coming or not?

Of course they were going.

Shi Jian nodded and said to Butler Tang, “Then lead the way.”

Butler Tang led the four-person team, plus Shi Jian, Tang Tian, and the recently-added—

The male streamer who had been vomited out—and left the office building.

The male streamer very much wanted to run, but he had no idea where to escape to, and in this situation, sticking with the group felt safer.

So, still shaken, the male streamer gravitated toward someone of the same gender in the four-person team, trying to draw a bit of warmth that way.

Only to be met with a troubled yet firm rejection: “Bro, you really reek.”

Please maintain some social distance, thanks.The male streamer: QWQ.

He could only back away pitifully and keep his distance.

He grew more and more in awe of Shi Jian, who was walking ahead—how could she chat so casually with such a terrifying humanoid monster?

Of course, Butler Tang didn’t think he was having a casual conversation with Shi Jian, and Shi Jian didn’t think so either—she was handling serious business.

…

While walking, Shi Jian seized the opportunity to ask what she wanted to know—this was her main goal. Now that Butler Tang had admitted his identity...

Shi Jian looked at him. “So can you answer the question I asked before?”

“How were you able to switch jobs? How did you do it?”

Butler Tang didn’t answer immediately. He didn’t look like he wanted to answer either. Instead, he asked Shi Jian in return, “Why do you want to know that?”

This was the second time Shi Jian had brought it up.

Butler Tang thought: Is this question that important to her?

Being asked a question in return like that can easily throw someone off, especially when they’re eager to get an answer.

But Shi Jian responded quickly. Calm and collected, she said, “Because I want to understand you.”

Butler Tang: “……”

Shi Jian had a very deceptive appearance. If she’d said that line to any other man, it would’ve gone straight to their heads—they’d be dying to write their whole life story down in a memoir just for her to read.

But although Butler Tang was also a man, instead of getting dizzy, he felt uncomfortable. Extremely uncomfortable.

Shi Jian wasn’t trying to flirt. Seeing Butler Tang’s face suddenly darken, she shrugged and offered a suggestion.

“If you don’t want to keep listening, it’s best to just say so directly.”

That line hit Butler Tang hard. Shi Jian didn’t even need to threaten to walk away—he was already wavering.

Butler Tang surrendered.

He took a deep breath and said to Shi Jian, “This involves some confidential information. I can only tell you. The others can’t get too close.”

Shi Jian, faced with Butler Tang’s sudden cooperation, actually felt a bit frustrated—was she really that unbearable to him?

A big star like her had never been treated this way.

But of course, this was a good thing for her.

Shi Jian didn’t hesitate. “Alright.”

Tang Tian looked worried and called out to Shi Jian.

They couldn’t stay right next to her. If Butler Tang suddenly attacked, they might not be able to help in time.

Shi Jian gave Tang Tian a reassuring smile. “It’s fine.”

She could handle it.

Shi Jian’s eyes were clear and confident. Tang Tian had no choice but to respect her decision.But Tang Tian had both the stapler and the folder ready—she was determined to keep a close eye on Butler Tang.

The moment anything seemed off, she would jump in to help.

Lei Xiao also tensed up and nodded at Shi Jian.

They were here too!

Now it was Shi Jian and Butler Tang walking side by side, while Tang Tian and the others, at Butler Tang’s request, followed several meters behind.

After Shi Jian and the others complied with his request, Butler Tang didn’t play coy.

He answered, “We can indeed be reassigned or switch jobs, but we have to apply to those above us… As long as the fit is right and we’re qualified, the application will go through.”

So even dungeon monsters could get reassigned or change jobs—they were practically like regular employees.

Shi Jian caught the key term: “Above?”

Who were the ones above Butler Tang?

Was it the management of the livestream platform?

But Butler Tang couldn’t answer that. His lips pressed into a thin line.

Even if Shi Jian said something that made him uncomfortable, he still couldn’t reveal that information.

Shi Jian didn’t dwell on questions that couldn’t be answered. Instead, she urgently asked, “Then can transfer records be checked?”

Would Monster Mama leave the Qing Shan No. 1 High School instance?

If Monster Mama was reassigned or switched jobs, that meant there was still a chance Shi Jian could meet her again.

Shi Jian wanted to see if she could find out where Monster Mama was currently working.

But that was also vague. Butler Tang replied, “Of course not. Only those above know.”

…

Shi Jian had asked everything she could.

Monsters could change positions, move between different instances. As long as the instances were close enough, there was a chance of encountering familiar faces like Butler Tang—naturally, there was also a chance of seeing Monster Mama again.

Transfers, job changes, and checking those records—all had to go through the “above” Butler Tang mentioned.

That seemed to be the extent of what Butler Tang knew. From his microexpressions, Shi Jian could tell he wasn’t lying.

Shi Jian’s final question wasn’t about Monster Mama—it was about Butler Tang.

With a curious look, she asked, “Why did you leave Rose Castle? Was it because of me?”

Butler Tang smiled on the surface, but was cursing her in his heart.

You’ve got some nerve asking that!

From a distance, music began to play—this was a signal.

Tang Tian’s expression turned a bit grim. “They’re closing the park!”

It was five o'clock.When they went to find Butler Tang, it was already past four o'clock. Dreamland Park would close at five. Previously, they would always leave the park and return to the hotel immediately.

There was a sense of danger pressing in at any moment.

Butler Tang said he was taking them to the bank, but without them realizing, he had led them down a rarely traveled path. They were still within the park, but this area was even more remote than the employee zone—so remote that even the music couldn’t be heard clearly anymore.

They still hadn’t seen any sign of the so-called bank.

Though the amusement zone was bloody and violent, at least it was bustling with noise. But now, following Tang Tian’s words, no one spoke—a silence so intense it was terrifying. A gust of wind blew by, making the atmosphere even more bleak and ominous.

Shi Jian asked Butler Tang, who had suddenly revealed a strange smile, “The park is about to close—aren’t we at the bank yet?”

And, “Butler Tang, your face is wrinkling when you smile. It’s kind of ugly.”

Butler Tang said, “Almost there, almost there—it’s just up ahead…”

Then, mid-sentence, he suddenly attacked Shi Jian!

He lunged at her with his mouth wide open, expression vicious.

Go collect your debt in his stomach!

He was going to eat her, make her vanish from this world.

Butler Tang was restricted by his role—he couldn’t harm visitors at will. But now it was past five. Work hours were over.

Now he was no longer bound by those restrictions.

He had been stalling for time all along. That whole “familiar face” act—he never wanted to see Shi Jian again in the first place.

Shi Jian’s pupils shrank instantly. She saw Butler Tang’s pale, jagged teeth and smelled the putrid stench rushing toward her.

…

【!!!】

Many viewers had thought earlier that the dynamic between Shi Jian and Butler Tang was hilarious—a big star reunited with her resentful servant, Shi Jian leaving him speechless. It was great entertainment.

Their interactions even seemed friendly just moments ago.

But it turned out that friendliness was just a facade. At the drop of a hat, Butler Tang tried to swallow Shi Jian whole.

He moved so fast.

Like a snake striking its prey in a sudden burst.

So fast that even with preparation, Tang Tian couldn’t align 【Boss’s Benefit】 in time to target Butler Tang.

Butler Tang could sense others trying to assist Shi Jian, trying to protect her.

A flash of contempt crossed his beast-like eyes. With a serpent-like maneuver, he dodged effortlessly.

Once he was done with Shi Jian, not a single one of them would escape.

He felt himself getting closer and closer to Shi Jian—

Ten centimeters.

Five centimeters.One centimeter.

Even though Shi Jian wasn’t slow, she still couldn’t outrun his jaws.

Amid the screams and chaos—

Butler Tang, whose mouth had opened to a horrifying degree, didn’t manage to swallow Shi Jian. What was shoved into his mouth instead was a roaring chainsaw.

Shi Jian held the chainsaw up, ramming most of it into Butler Tang’s mouth.

“Does it taste good?”

Facing the stunned and disbelieving Butler Tang, Shi Jian squinted slightly, her long lashes trembling as she asked.

She squinted because blood had begun to spray—his blood.

Butler Tang’s mouth was shredded by the chainsaw. He let out a sharp, pained screech as his body twisted. His gaping mouth was now a mess of blood and flesh, terrifying to behold.

But Shi Jian didn’t retreat in the slightest. She even stepped forward, forcing the steel blade deeper into Butler Tang’s throat.

Like a female Yama, harbinger of death.

Shi Jian had already anticipated that Butler Tang would pull something. She had prepared the chainsaw in advance.

Lifting her slender, fair neck, Shi Jian sneered, her red lips parting.

“Butler Tang, long time no see. Let me reintroduce myself—I'm Shi Jian, now even more beautiful and stronger than I was at the Rose Castle.”

She wasn’t just stunning anymore.

The most beautiful flower from the greenhouse had grown thorns—the princess now raised her chainsaw with elegance.
