vncnus From Chapter 534 onwards, I'll call you "One-Ear".
From Chapter 534 onwards, I'll call you "One-Ear".
The dormitory suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The gaps at those two points were like a fishbone, stuck in everyone's throat.
Kuroki Hideto, his face full of resentment, stepped forward and pleaded:
"Section Chief Su, we're almost there! Please give us another chance!"
Su Wan glanced at him indifferently: "You are not in a position to bargain with me."
"According to the rules, I need to make one of you into a specimen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze instantly.
Ao Debiao subconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily.
Santos's lips moved, his voice tense:
"I can't die... I still have so many students... they need me!"
Park Chang-ho glared at him and pushed up his glasses:
"As a senior executive in the company, I have a ton of work to do, so I absolutely cannot die!"
Hideto Kuroki remained silent.
But a fine layer of sweat had already seeped onto his forehead; he had been the only one there—and hadn't gotten a single point of shock.
Su Wan said she wanted to select someone to be a specimen.
How to choose? By voting? By random selection?
If it were a vote... I would definitely be the first choice!!
Hideto Kuroki gritted his teeth.
Strike first!
"How about this, we'll play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser will become Section Chief Su's specimen."
Su Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.
There was a hint of... interest in that upward curve.
"Good suggestion, let's do it this way."
Park Chang-ho immediately raised his hand: "I object! Whoever performed the worst should be chosen!"
When he said this, he didn't look at Su Wan, but at Kuroki Hidetoshi.
Hideto Kuroki didn't meet his gaze.
Su Wan's gaze swept across Park Chang-ho's face, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"But I still prefer watching you guys play rock-paper-scissors, it's definitely more fun."
"Stop dawdling, my time is limited!"
Park Chang-ho puffed out his cheeks, pushed up his glasses, and then turned to look at the "least intelligent" one—
Audrey Eugene.
"Let's go first."
Audrey paused for a moment, then nodded.
The two people stood facing each other, about a meter apart.
Park Chang-ho's right hand was hidden behind his back, and so was Ao De-biao's right hand.
Su Wan tilted her head, as if watching a street performance that wasn't very exciting but could at least pass the time.
Hidetoshi Kuroki and Santos stepped aside, and neither of them spoke.
But Hidetoshi Kuroki's palms were already sweaty.
"one two three!"
Park Chang-ho provided the stone, and O'Der-pyo provided the cloth.
Stone wrapped in cloth.
Park Chang-ho's eyes widened for a moment, and he squeezed out a short syllable through clenched teeth—
"Damn it!"
"Don't be discouraged, you still have another chance." Su Wan's voice drifted over from the side, with a lazy tone that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
Park Chang-ho stepped aside with a dark expression, looking like a wall that was cracking.
Hideto Kuroki and Santos walked to the middle and stood facing each other.
Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and then—
"one two three!"
The scissors made by Hidetoshi Kuroki.
Santos produced the cloth.
Scissors cut cloth, Kuroki Hidetoshi wins.
Santos looked down at his fist, as if he couldn't quite believe that he had just made such a foolish decision.
Kuroki Hideto took a step back, and the pent-up breath that had been building up in his chest finally escaped through his nostrils.
Now, only two people remain.
Park Chang-ho and Santos.
The ultimate showdown.
The two stood in the middle. The white light from the fluorescent lamp reflected off Park Chang-ho's glasses, obscuring his eyes, but his hands were trembling slightly.
Santos remained calm; he even flexed his wrists, like a tennis player about to serve.
"one--"
Park Chang-ho's Adam's apple bobbed.
"two--"
His right hand clenched into a fist behind his back, then relaxed, then clenched again.
"three!"
Both hands are shown at the same time.
The fabric produced by Park Chang-ho.
Santos used scissors.
Cut the cloth with scissors.
Park Chang-ho stared at Santos's two outstretched fingers as if they were two guillotines closing together.
"..."
His mouth opened, closed, and opened again.
The expression on his face went through a three-stage leap in a fraction of a second: disbelief, resentment, and collapse.
"Damn it!!!"
This time it was much louder than the last time, loud enough for the dorm room next door to hear.
Then he suddenly looked up and pointed at Santos's nose: "You cheated!"
Santos blinked: "...How could I cheat?"
"You—" Park Chang-ho's lips trembled, his brain racing, "You just moved your wrist! You conspired with Kuroki Hideto!"
Hideto Kuroki, standing to the side, instantly creased his forehead, exclaiming, "Hey, what does this have to do with me?!"
"Best two out of three!" Park Chang-ho turned directly to Su Wan. "A single game to decide the winner is unfair! I want best two out of three!"
Su Wan looked at him and said, "No."
Two words, without "because and therefore".
She suddenly extended a finger and touched Park Chang-ho's forehead.
The touch of the fingertips is icy cold, like a piece of cold jade.
"Don't move."
Park Chang-ho did not move.
It wasn't because he was obedient; it was because his body seemed to have been put on pause, completely losing its ability to move.
The next second, all the bones, muscles, blood vessels and skin in his body contracted rapidly toward the center of his body.
The whole process lasted about ten seconds.
Once everything calmed down, only a 15-centimeter-tall chibi-style figure remained in the original spot.
His head took up most of his body, his eyes were large and protruding, and his nose was shrunken into a small ball, like a grain of rice stuck to his face.
The left ear only has a shallow indentation left, while the right ear is normal, but it appears disproportionately large, like the ear of a little elf, sticking out from the side of the round head.
Not moving at all.
Su Wan bent down, pinched the back of his collar with her thumb and forefinger, picked him up from the ground, and held him up in front of her eyes.
Park Chang-ho's limbs hung limply, motionless, showing no signs of life.
Su Wan tilted her head, examining the little thing on her fingertip.
From now on, I'll call you "One-Ear".
Her lips twitched slightly, like the satisfied expression of a collector putting a label on a newly acquired item.

Studio:
"It's both creepy and cute, and cute with a hint of wickedness. I give this move a perfect score."
"This chibi version of Park Chang-ho is actually kind of cute! Su Wan, please, please open a crossover online store! I'll pay five hundred, no, five thousand! I want a Park Chang-ho-style item!"
"Is the person upstairs a pervert??? (Whispering: Can I specify my hairstyle?)"
"You trembling Kuroki Hideto, you were quick-witted this time and escaped a disaster."
"So this is all the detective agency president is capable of? Japan really isn't up to par!"
