My Roommate is a Non-Human | Chapter 49 | A Failed Extraction | Novela.app

I quickly dragged my roommate away. While it felt great to see a love rival get handled like that, my roommate’s methods were a bit too ruthless—it felt a little uncalled for. The guy was working for him, after all; he should at least show some face, or what if the guy turned traitor later? As I wiped the splashes of red soup off my roommate's wrist, I gave him a little nudge. "You were too mean. He’s clearly into you; he was just jealous." My Big Brother Liu gave a soft "Mm" in response. "I know." "..." Fine, so you actually have enough emotional intelligence to know! If you knew, why keep him around and have him protect me? Isn't that just asking to infuriate your official spouse? Or do you just want to watch a harem battle royale? "There is only one boy." He cupped my face, his sincerity almost pitiful. "I don't care what private thoughts he has, but he cannot bully you. You are my little one. No matter what you are like, I want you. To call you bad is to call me bad. So, I hit him." Oh, my roommate really is a little angel. Let’s have a hug. Just as I was about to bring up the "thing" in my stomach, my roommate suddenly looked up, alert. "Where is the crystal skull?" I froze. No wonder I felt like something was missing from the table. I poured him a glass of water and had him sit down to drink while I searched. I looked everywhere but couldn't find it. My roommate said calmly, "It was stolen." "But didn't you set up a barrier? They shouldn't be able to get in." "They cannot enter." My roommate looked toward the door. "But humans can pass through freely." Hearing this, I was completely stunned. Holy crap, among the few of us on the sixth floor of this dorm, was there a mole? The first person I thought of was the shut-in. My roommate waved a hand. "Zhang Litian wouldn't leave evidence." With a flick of his wrist, a golden 3D holographic projection appeared in our room. I saw my roommate and me leaving in the morning, then watched the sunlight from the window shift from east to west. At a certain point, the door opened, the crystal skull floated out, and the door closed again. I was scared half to death—seeing a skull floating in mid-air like that was just... "Invisibility," my roommate said. Even with my roommate rewinding time, we still couldn't track it. If Lu Daoshi found out there was a mole among the humans, he’d probably bash someone's head in with a brick. Luckily, my roommate had already swallowed Zhang Litian's divinity whole. I asked tremulously, "Brother Liu, if Zhang Litian got his full divinity back, would he be able to kill you?" My Big Brother Liu said placidly, "I'll kill you first." That made me happy. I knew he was the most badass. "Only my own flesh and blood can kill me," was his next sentence. I froze on the spot. "What's wrong?" "Nothing... Aren't you going to check on the Abyssal Guardian? He’s probably going to be angry." My roommate looked confused. "Why would I go see him?" I stammered incoherently, "You were so mean to him. What if he turns traitor?" My roommate indicated it was totally not a problem: "I'll just kill them all." I felt like my roommate and Senior Brother Lu would really, really get along. After finding an excuse to send my roommate away, I posted in the WeChat group with Ren Xing and Lu Daoshi: "I think I’m accidentally pregnant! Accidentally pregnant! My roommate said it himself—only his flesh and blood can kill him! Jin Mu wasn't lying!" The group chat exploded instantly. Ren Xing: *Heh.* Lu Daoshi: *How big is your man's heart? He knows he'll be killed by a brat and he still doesn't wear a condom. Now you've got a leak. What did I tell you guys on the first day of university? Always. Carry. Protection. You didn't listen, and now look at this mess. You idiot.* Ren Xing: *...?* Lu Daoshi: *So now you're choosing to save the adult and ditch the kid?* Me: *I am just that virtuous! My husband is my world!* Ren Xing: *...* Once I made up my mind, I didn't feel as conflicted. I went out to eat-eat-eat-eat-eat with my roommate. My roommate and the Abyssal Guardian were standing together talking, not looking at all like they had just been in a fight; everyone was very calm. I didn't originally want to eavesdrop, but you know, that bald guy has a thing for my roommate, so I couldn't suppress my housewife curiosity. Hehe, I listened in for a bit. It turned out those two were total psychos! The bald guy was actually teaching my roommate Mandarin! The bald guy would pop out a word, and my roommate would repeat it. At first, my roommate wasn't very fluent, sticking to simple subject-verb-object sentences, but as they went on, his sentences got longer and his vocabulary expanded—it was god-like! When my roommate finally started using "Xipiqina Earthworm" in a sentence, I had a gut feeling as a real man: I probably won't be able to win an argument against him in the future. God, that bald guy is so annoying. If you can't get the guy, you teach him how to be a motor-mouth? That’s going to affect our marital harmony. The only thing I’m better at than my roommate is talking; if the day comes when he’s more talkative than me, I’ll have to fall on my sword. That night, after playing a few rounds of Fight the Landlord with my roommate and the bald guy, I washed up and went to bed. You have no idea how anxious I was lying next to him. The main issue was that he sometimes knows what I’m thinking, so I couldn't think about the abortion tomorrow at all. But I couldn't help it: after going through so much trouble to marry into a wealthy family—wait, no—after going through so much trouble to illegally cohabitate with my roommate, I found out we didn't use protection, I got accidentally pregnant, and then he can't have this child, so I have to secretly go get an abortion behind his back. As a twenty-two-year-old male college student, I was actually facing such a human tragedy. Is there no justice? Any other guy would have jumped off a building by now; luckily, it’s me. The next day, the sky was clear and the air was crisp. I was about to have an abortion, yet the sun was shining so brightly—it was a total tragedy. For the first time in my life, I entered a detention center. Ren Xing was already waiting there. He looked behind me. "Your Senior Brother Lu didn't come?" No! That heartless bastard actually said, "What's there to see at an abortion? Watching a coal-burning iron tong get shoved into a butt and stirred around?" Dammit, I almost didn't dare to come! Ren Xing joined me in denouncing his nonsense, then Ren Xing stood there for a moment and whispered, "I'm afraid if you start screaming later, I won't be able to hold you down by myself." Enough, you guys! Stop having so many mental images about this abortion! When I walked into a room in the back of the detention center that was serving as an operating room, the old man was already waiting. "Are you like that girl from last time, parasitized by an unknown object?" What could I say? I could only nod. The old man looked at me with disdain. "That girl was tricked into bed; were you tricked into bed too?" What could I say? I could only nod. The old man shook his head. "The world is going to the dogs." Dammit! You're a black-market doctor who sells human organs; do you really have the right to make such a lament? But I couldn't afford to offend him, lest he leave a scalpel inside my stomach or something. I could only weakly defend myself, "Hey, Master, don't talk about me like that. Look, I... I'm pregnant." The old doctor, looking displeased, told me to strip, put on a surgical gown, and lie on the operating table. "Officer Ren says the little monsters are in your stomach?" "Mm." "Then I will cut your stomach open directly and take them out." Ren Xing chimed in, "You're the expert in this. Anything that doesn't belong to a normal human body—tissues, organs—take them all out." The old man gave me anesthesia and glared at him. "Officer Ren, aren't you leaving?" Ren Xing gave a grunt. "Just in case." The old man grumbled, "I've never seen someone come for an abortion with their boyfriend personally accompanying them." Ren Xing remained silent, nodding at me to indicate he would stay by my side. I felt like this guy was actually very reliable. Just setting up this surgery for me at the police station must have taken more effort behind the scenes than I could ever repay. Having a friend who would do this much for you is truly worth a lifetime—just stop taking verbal advantage of me! Hurry up and explain to the old man that I'm the Big Boss's main squeeze! Otherwise, if my real boyfriend shows up, you'll be the one on your knees. The old man took a sterilized scalpel and prepared to start. By now, the anesthesia was taking effect, and I was feeling a bit drowsy. But when the tip of the blade touched my skin, I still felt something in my stomach squirm violently. I saw the old man's face turn pale. "It's fine," Ren Xing said, his own face turning white. It was definitely not fine. I asked the old man, "What's wrong?" The old man was trembling. "A human face... there's a human face... bulging out of your stomach..." A human face? Why would it be a human face? Shouldn't it be a little monster? The old man seemed to guess what I was thinking. "This face... is bigger than yours." Bigger than my face?! Holy crap! It's only been a month! Is it really going to tear open my body and jump out? "Don't worry about all that. Get rid of it," Ren Xing said coldly. Under his threat, the old man could only continue the surgery. Just as I felt the blade press hard into my skin, pulling open a slit, a beam of light suddenly shot out from my stomach, precisely piercing the old man's throat! I saw a tiny stream of blood spray out from the back of his neck. The old man clawed at his throat a few times, then collapsed on top of me, motionless! I completely lost it. Ren Xing ran up and pushed him. "Master Yi? Master Yi?!" The old man didn't react, but blood was already soaking into the surgical gown all over me. Ren Xing helped him off; the man was dead. I took some sterile cotton and wiped the blood off my stomach. There was no wound on my skin. I remembered Lu Daoshi's warning. He said the thing in my stomach wasn't simple. It certainly wasn't simple. It was already killing people before even leaving the womb; it would surely be very practiced at killing its own father later. Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Right then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside me. "You actually don't want my child."
