Keep Flirting and Don't Get Killed

Vol. 1 - Chapter 9 - Purgatory of the Heartless



=====

Soul Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless

Curse Content:

1. Within every 30 natural days, a person of the opposite sex (regardless of race) must sincerely confess to him/her. If the confession is not completed within 30 natural days, the cursed person will die immediately;

2. Every time a sincere confession is received, the 30-day countdown will be reset, but the confession of the same individual can only be used once;

3. Confession of the opposite sex cannot be accepted in any form. If you accept it, 1 energy point of the Super Dimensional Eye will be deducted for each acceptance. In addition, if you repeatedly receive the same individual's confession, the corresponding number of energy points will be deducted. When the energy points are negative, the cursed person will die immediately;

4. For each confession accepted, the timing cycle will be reduced by one natural day (including the current timing cycle). When the timing cycle is less than or equal to zero natural days, the cursed person will die immediately.

After reading the content of the curse, Jiang Ran held his forehead. This curse was despicable in itself, but even more so was the fact that it was actually entangled with the mission and the Super Dimensional Eye!

The third mission requires to make the "One and Only Demon God Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken" confess to me and agree to go back to the earth with me...

The core ability of the Super Dimensional Eye, ‘Predicting Death Scene’, consumes energy points, and the main source of energy points is the confession of the opposite sex...

The curse, Purgatory of the Heartless, requires me to constantly let the opposite sex confess to me, but if I accept the confession, there will be severe punishment...

Jiang Ran analyzed the correlations between these three factors and came to the following conclusions: 

—He must constantly seduce the opposite sex to confess to him, and the confession must express true feelings.

—Then he had to reject them, and repeat this process until the final mission was achieved: seduce the "One and Only Demon God Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken".

Silly Ni: (In simple terms, it means being a playboy! A scumbag! Did I summarize it well for you, Jiang Ran? However, this kind of complex thing may be a little difficult for a fool like you, hahahaha!)

The stupid loli's IQ was really useless. At times, Jiang Ran had the urge to dig out his right eye.

Wow, the summary is quite accurate, Master Nissen. By the way, Master Nissen, is there a way to obtain the Universal Stone in the parallel world?

Silly Ni: (I don't think so. At least, I haven't encountered it in the parallel worlds I have been to. Eh? You finally found your conscience and called me Master again...)

Thank you, Silly Ni.

Before the stupid loli could be happy for even a second, she was pissed off again by Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran was the kind of guy who didn't hold grudges overnight because, if possible, he paid back any grudge on the spot.

Silly Ni was so angry after being teased by Jiang Ran that she started to curse and swear, while he ignored her and began to concentrate on his next move.

Jiang Ran thought that although the mission, the inherent abilities of the Super Dimensional Eye, and the soul curse, Purgatory of the Heartless- that were now bound to him- were troublesome, fortunately, they were not completely unsolvable.

Therefore, Jiang Ran's plan remained unchanged, and his priority at the moment was still to find a woman as soon as possible and guide her to confess to him.

However, a closer examination of this goal revealed a kind of contradiction.

To conquer someone meant to pro-actively pursue them, but his goal was to make them confess to him. This meant that Jiang Ran had to find a way to make the other person pursue him, which was hundreds of times more difficult.

Silly Ni: (Humph, stupid Jiang Ran, are you troubled about how to chase girls? Humph, I can teach you, as long as you respect me as...)

Oh? Silly Ni, have you ever been in love?

Jiang Ran accurately hit the stupid loli's weak spot.

Silly Ni: (Lo… love?! Of course I have been in love! Don't underestimate me, I have countless experiences! Oh, by the way! I also know about the general preferences of men in your world! You like black silk the most, right? And, and, the giant breasts, I know all about them too! Love is a piece of cake for me!!)

Awesome, awesome, I admire you.

As Jiang Ran expected, the stupid loli was indeed a fool. Jiang Ran didn't believe that gods could fall in love. Rather than expecting the stupid loli to teach him how to fall in love, he might as well ask a stone on the roadside about it.

After determining the next goal, Jiang Ran found a high place nearby to observe the surrounding environment. He found that the only village nearby was the one that had been attacked just now.

Thanks to the scattered locations of the houses in the village, only a few that were closer to the fire column burned up under the high temperature. On the other hand, the fire outside the woods was also blown out by the sudden strong wind—speaking of which, this strong wind was caused by the enemy when he left. 

Jiang Ran had felt the airflow caused by the fighter jets flying above his head when he watched aerial shows before, and that airflow was not as strong as the wind caused by this enemy when he flew off.

From this, it could be deduced that this was definitely a parallel world of high martial abilities, and developing combat capabilities should also be the focus of Jiang Ran's future goals.

At noon, Jiang Ran ate the food he had stolen and then walked back toward the village.

Silly Ni: (What, aren't you full?)

Jiang Ran didn't bother to answer the stupid loli. After arriving at the village, he found a suitable place on the outskirts, then smeared some dirt on his face and body, lay on the ground with this messy look, and stopped moving.

Silly Ni: (Jiang Ran, what are you doing?)

Aren't you a love expert?

Silly Ni: (I, I am a love expert!! I know it, I just deliberately asked you!)

Oh, then tell me, what am I doing?

Silly Ni: (You, you, you are... you are... waiting for a kind person to help you up, and then you blackmail him!)

Good god, this stupid loli would definitely be a disaster if she were put on Earth.

Jiang Ran chatted with the stupid loli like this, until about an hour later, he heard scattered footsteps approaching the village.

"Thank God, the monster that created the pillar of fire seems to have gone away!"

"Ahhh my house... How did my house burn down...!"

"Joseph! Joseph, are you still alive?!!!!"

The villagers were back.

Although the villagers were scared away by the disaster that happened in the morning, they had no other place to go except here. Jiang Ran was lying here precisely because he calculated that they would come back, but... his plan was not limited to this.

After returning to the village, the villagers first evaluated their property losses and then began to work together to repair the post-disaster site and rescue the injured who were still alive, organized by the village chief. Not long after, someone found Jiang Ran lying on the ground.

"Hey! There is another one alive here!"

"...He doesn't seem to be from our village?"

"Black hair and ivory skin, there is indeed no one in the village with such strange features..."

Just like he could understand the written words he had never learned before, Jiang Ran understood the foreign language ​​spoken by the villagers. He listened to their discussions and quietly waited for a suitable time to ‘wake up’.

Silly Ni: (Hey, Jiang Ran, are you asleep? Get up and blackmail someone.)

Jiang Ran ignored the stupid loli. He was about to show her the meaning of the sentence—"The best hunters often appear as prey."
