"Hmm? What's going on...?"
Furina rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, her drowsy expression hitting Su Yuan like a critical strike!
Oh! Furina! How can you be this cute?!
No! Lady Furina! Please let me be your loyal dog! Woof woof!
"I was sleeping just fine. Why did you wake me up?"
Furina still hadn't opened her eyes, her head drooping slightly, looking completely unawake.
"Because this bed is a little dirty, there's something unclean on it, so it's best if you sleep somewhere else, Furina!"
Su Yuan didn't dare to tell her about the strange bugs on the bed, afraid of scaring her fragile heart.
Furina murmured in confusion.
Then, under Su Yuan's stunned gaze, she reached into the blanket and pulled out one of those strange bugs...
"Are you talking about this? This isn't something dirty at all..."
Then, under Su Yuan's even more shocked gaze, "Furina" directly placed the bug into her mouth and began chewing it slowly, accompanied by a crisp crunch, crunch sound...
Su Yuan couldn't comprehend how such a soft, wriggling bug could make such a crunchy sound when chewed...
No, wait! That's not the point at all!
How could Furina possibly eat such a strange bug raw?!
Su Yuan finally realized—everything written on his palm was true!
This Furina... is not Furina at all!
Fear gripped Su Yuan's heart as he slowly inched away, trying to put some distance between himself and this "Furina"...
But then he suddenly remembered the words carved into his palm, which kept repeating:
No matter how terrifying things get, do not get out of bed! Do not get out of bed!! Do not get out of bed!!!
Forcing himself to suppress his fear, Su Yuan had no choice but to stay on the bed...
"Come now, darling. Open your mouth, let me feed you one too..."
"Furina" picked up a wriggling bug and brought it to Su Yuan's lips while slightly opening her own mouth, signaling for him to do the same...
Staring at the grotesque, squirming creature in front of him, Su Yuan simply couldn't summon the courage to open his mouth.
He had imagined countless times what it would be like for Furina to personally feed him, but who could have guessed it would turn out ...
No! This thing isn't even Furina! It doesn't count!
"Why won't you open your mouth? I thought... you would understand me."
Seeing that Su Yuan refused to comply, "Furina" slowly opened her eyes.
But instead of pupils or the usual bright blue irises, there was nothing—just deep, bottomless, crimson-black voids, an abyss so dark it seemed to stretch endlessly beyond human comprehension.
"I thought... that after these five hundred years, you would be the one to understand me. The only one I could confide in..."
"But now... could it be... that's not the case?"
Su Yuan could clearly see the skin on "Furina's" face writhing and twisting, as if it were a lump of dough being kneaded together, its shape losing all coherence...
Her mouth split into two halves—her upper lip replaced her left eyebrow, while her lower lip stretched to where her right ear should be.
Her left eye morphed into a right nostril, her right eye transformed into a single jagged tooth, and above her forehead, a new mouth filled with countless razor-sharp fangs grotesquely emerged.
From every inch of her face, a thick, crimson, foul-smelling liquid began to ooze...
Watching this horrifying transformation, Su Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.
Beads of perspiration dripped from his forehead, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
A terrifying premonition struck him—if he didn't eat this bug, he would die a truly miserable death!
There was no other choice.
For the sake of survival, Su Yuan clenched his eyes shut, steeled himself, and, with one swift motion, swallowed the writhing bug whole!
Su Yuan originally planned to just swallow it whole and not think about it...
But the moment it entered his mouth—before he could even chew—the bug burst on its own!
A thick, viscous liquid gushed out, accompanied by an unbearable stench.
The overwhelming disgust made Su Yuan nearly retch.
If he had to describe it, it was like taking a sock that had been soaking in a sewer for 82 years, stuffing it into a can of fermented herring, letting it naturally rot under the scorching sun for 49 days, then mixing it with freshly produced, still-warm chicken droppings, cilantro, and fish mint...
Even though the revolting taste made him want to throw up, Su Yuan knew under no circumstances could he afford to spit it out.
Looking at the grotesque and terrifying figure of "Furina," an ominous feeling crept up his spine.
He had a gut instinct that if he dared to spit it out... he wouldn't even have a corpse left.
After what felt like an eternity of internal struggle, Su Yuan finally mustered the courage to swallow the disgusting bug whole...
"Very good... Tonight, we had a late-night snack together!"
"Now, let's go back to sleep!"
"Only by resting well can we store up the energy we need..."
"Tomorrow, we still have to go to the Opera House to watch a performance!"
As "Furina" spoke, her face returned to normal in an instant.
She then lay back down and went to sleep...
Su Yuan panted heavily, staring at the peacefully sleeping "Furina" with a deep sense of barely surviving a disaster...
This person... No! This thing was definitely not Furina!
Did he really transmigrate into Teyvat from Genshin Impact? Or was he actually trapped inside some kind of horror game?!
This was way too terrifying!
After calming himself down a little, Su Yuan once again looked at the words carved into his palm.
Thank god he had trusted them—suppressing his fear and not doing anything reckless.
He had followed the most important rule: never leave the bed...
But if he could never leave the bed, wouldn't that mean he would have to endure this torment forever?
And if this Furina wasn't the real Furina, then where was the real one?
Was this place really the continent of Teyvat?
Su Yuan recalled his experience reading web novels.
The Teyvat he had transmigrated into was very likely corrupted or invaded by some strange entity...
And he... he might just be the destined savior...
But if his deduction was correct, then forget saving the world, he couldn't even save himself right now!
"Damn it, don't I get some kind of system or cheat ability after transmigrating?" Su Yuan lamented, nearly in tears.
Suddenly, a thought struck him—what if the writing in his palm was some kind of cheat ability?
But before he could think further, "Furina's" voice rang out again:
"Darling, why are you sitting up? Lie down and sleep..."
Su Yuan shuddered at the sound and quickly lay back down obediently...
The eerie bugs from before seemed to have completely vanished.
Lying on the soft bed, Su Yuan cautiously turned his head to look.
He saw that "Furina" was still lying on her side, facing away from him...
He didn't dare to look any longer, fearing that he might trigger another terrifying event.
A sense of unease filled Su Yuan—he had no idea what else he would encounter or how he was supposed to deal with it...
He couldn't possibly just stay in bed forever, could he?
