Chapter 32: Day 32 of Transmigrating into an Object Part 2

The sea wind soughed, waves lapped at her feet. There was no one anywhere.

She panted, grinding her teeth. “Escaping again? Ha. Were all these days a lie? Don’t let me catch you. If I catch you again, I’ll make sure you never dare think the word ‘escape’ for the rest of your life!”

This land was hers. She drove to the security booth and pulled up the nearby surveillance footage. What she saw wasn’t Shen Wenyi running away, but Shen Wenyi walking deeper into the sea, step by step, swallowed by the water.

Her silence was terrifying. The security guard cautiously asked if she wanted to call the police.

She turned and ran out of the security booth, calling her subordinates to find a search and rescue team while running. Unable to wait for them, she first charged into the sea like a madwoman, diving deep in one swift motion. She searched everywhere in the water, but found nothing.

The search and rescue team arrived. Sounds of docks, yachts, the shouts of the rescue team. The seawater churned. It started to rain. Waves rolled, dotting the sand with rain pits.

The search and rescue team searched for three days, but salvaged nothing.

The rescue team said that due to the heavy rain, the body likely hadn’t been washed onto the beach by the waves, but carried into deeper waters.

Before the words finished, she kicked the rescue team captain over. After a violent frenzy of kicking and hitting, she panted, wiping her hands. “The person is still alive. Where would a corpse come from? Whoever spreads rumors again, I’ll turn them into a corpse.”

Everyone fell deathly silent, too frightened to speak, except for the captain’s pained groans and the sound of her wiping her hands and throwing away the towel.

Sounds of shivering cold, weak panting. Under the cover of night, Shen Wenyi pulled on the rudder chain dangling from a fishing boat, stepping onto a lifebuoy tied to the hull, and managed to climb aboard the boat.

Afraid of being discovered, Shen Wenyi carefully hid below the deck.

In the middle of the night, chaotic footsteps sounded. Her people searched the fishing boats one by one. Because of the rain, the deck was wet everywhere, obscuring Shen Wenyi’s footprints. Her people didn’t find her.

The next day, the sky was clear. The fishing boat sailed out to sea. Shen Wenyi hid below deck, only daring to sneak out at midnight to find food and water.

The fishing boat was at sea for several days before returning to the coast. Only then did Shen Wenyi slip off the boat. Not daring to go to the city, she only walked along field paths, trying to hide in the unmonitored countryside for a while.

At night, walking under the moonlight, just as she emerged from a cornfield, car headlights blazed on her.

“Found you.”

Jiang CV’s voice was ice-cold, chilling to the bone, much like her lines when acting.

Shen Wenyi gasped in fright and turned, plunging back into the cornfield.

Running sounds, panicked breaths, the trampling and snapping of corn stalks, the rustling of corn leaves.

Leisurely footsteps, the sound of underlings clearing a path by hacking at stalks, cold sneers.

Two starkly contrasting sounds heightened the tension to the max.

Her own soul was tense with suspense. Shen Wenyi’s breathing and the frantic panting in the earbud felt like two extremes, madly drumming against her heartbeat.

Thump-thump, thump-thump.

She didn’t know what was happening to her. A strange feeling welled up from the depths of her soul. Even though Jiang CV wasn’t her, Jiang Shiyang, even though the her in the audio drama was totally different from the real her, why, in this moment, did she feel as if she had assimilated with Jiang CV?

She wanted to catch Shen Wenyi, wanted… wanted that real breath to spray on her face, wanted to kiss those soft, pliant lips, wanted to…

No! Stop your brain! Jiang Shiyang, how can you be so easily brainwashed? You can be led astray just listening to an audio drama? Can’t you do anything right?!

What about the Five Stresses, Four Beauties and Three Loves? What about being a good, law-abiding youth? How can you collude with Jiang CV?!

No, actually, she didn’t mean she wanted to be as perverted as her in the audio drama. She just meant, like an ordinary couple…

No, that’s even worse!

Slipping into the plot could still be explained away by occupational hazard, getting into character. But wanting something to happen with Shen Wenyi outside the plot, that was truly abnormal, okay?

No, she didn’t want to, she didn’t want to. She didn’t want to at all.

“Ah~!”

A shriek, carried by an electric current, startled her to the core. Her soul subconsciously gulped. Listening to that voice in the audio drama, so similar to Shen Wenyi’s, her heart wouldn’t stop pounding no matter how she tried. It beat so fast it was almost painful.

Shen CV cried, “Don’t… do this… Kill me, just kill me!”

Jiang CV sneered, “You couldn’t bear to die when you threw yourself into the sea. What right do you have to ask me to kill you?”

Shen CV’s distorted voice choked with sobs, “Jiang Shiyang, don’t let me hate you!”

Jiang CV scoffed, “What use is hatred in your heart? Doesn’t your body still obediently submit?”

Shen CV, breathless, sobbed weakly, “I’ll kill you, Jiang Shiyang, I’ll kill… kill you…”

Shen CV’s whimpering lasted a long time, mixed with pleading, curses, moans, crying, and other sounds hard to describe specifically.

This time, it was different from all the previous segments. Unbidden, Shen Wenyi’s face surfaced in her mind. The Shen Wenyi she had “inadvertently” peeked at these past days, the one others didn’t see.

Shen Wenyi was very fair, with a great figure…

Shen Wenyi’s eyes were beautiful. The way she stared intently at someone was both obedient and alluring…

Did Shen Wenyi also look this stirring when she cried?

Shen Wenyi…

No, what was she even thinking?!

Shen Wenyi, don’t add to the chaos, okay? Shut up! Don’t move, don’t sway your body, don’t tilt your head back! I’m getting dizzy!

Are you trying to make this unbearable?

Stop your brain! Don’t make connections!

Shen Wenyi, enough! How does the earbud still have so much battery? Why isn’t the audio drama over yet?!

Moans and gasps inside the earbud, groans and sighs outside it. Trying to kill me? Not happening!

She really couldn’t hold on any longer. Her heart rate was so fast she felt like she was dying. Her eye sockets were hot and swollen, she felt like she was going blind. The urge to do something was unbearable, but being unable to move was even more torturous.

She couldn’t care less anymore. Right now, she just wanted to make her brain stop. If this continued, she felt she really would be brainwashed into a pervert.

She quickly opened her inventory and found the Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman.

Tap it!

As she thought this, the moment she was about to tap, she still hesitated.

The five senses included hearing, taste, smell, touch, and sight. The probability of randomly getting hearing was only 20%. Even if hearing was blocked, what about filming tomorrow? If sight was blocked, that would be even worse.

No, calm down.

Jiang Shiyang, I think you can hold on a little longer.

She took a deep breath, about to close the inventory, when suddenly her body felt light. Shen Wenyi had taken her out of one ear. Shen Wenyi murmured, “Burning my ear. Could it be leaking electricity?”

In that instant, her breath nearly stopped. All her attention focused on the warm fingers gripping her shoulder.

Your, your hand is also very hot, and you’re talking about me?

I don’t leak electricity. Don’t turn off the earbud. Just 29% battery left. Hold on a little longer.

Wait, Shen Wenyi, why are you taking me out? Aren’t you afraid of electricity leaks? If you are, put me on the nightstand. Why are you putting me under the blanket?

She suddenly stiffened entirely, her whole soul trembling.

Shen Wenyi… she… she… what was she doing?

Shen Wenyi’s heartbeat, clearly transmitted through flesh and blood, entered her soul. She seemed to feel something, but it was too dark, she couldn’t see clearly.

She just felt something soft against her face. Her mind went blank with shock for a long time. She seemed to hear Shen Wenyi say, “Why is it getting hotter and hotter? Could it really leak electricity?”

Leaking electricity was definitely not happening. She just felt like she was the princess and the pea right now. Pea… no, Shen Wenyi, if you’re afraid of leaking electricity, why are you dragging me across your body?

Shen Wenyi, you can’t do this. You can’t roast me over the fire like this. It’s unethical!

This is impossible to bear. Jiang Shiyang, calm down. Don’t think about anything. Nothing is happening. Focus on the audio drama!

The other earbud was still in Shen Wenyi’s ear. The electric current vibrated with the plot. Inside the drama, Shen Wenyi’s punishment for escaping wasn’t over yet. It was hard to tell anymore if it was torment or something else.

The her in the drama threatened Shen Wenyi’s entire family, saying if Shen Wenyi disappeared again or died, even if Shen Wenyi couldn’t see it, she would kill Shen Wenyi’s whole family to bury with her.

Shen Wenyi despaired. She hid a knife under the pillow. As she slept deeply, Shen Wenyi raised the knife. Plop, the sound effect of a tear dropping into water. A faint, panicked gasp. But the knife hesitated, never falling.

That was the entire plot of Part One. What came next was content she hadn’t read yet.

She wanted to focus hard on the plot, but she couldn’t. It was impossible!

Shen Wenyi, sober up! Even though my body is indeed hot, I’m just a Bluetooth earbud! I don’t have other functions, I… I…

I’d better just tap the Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman!

Blocking either touch or hearing would be fine. That doubles the probability to 40%. That’s already quite high!

Actually, the probability didn’t matter anymore. Even if it were only 1%, she’d accept it now. If Shen Wenyi kept holding her against her chest like this, she’d really have a heart attack!

Her soul being bound and unable to move was especially unbearable. She always felt the urge to do something, yet couldn’t do anything.

She quickly tapped the Random Five Senses Blocking Talisman.

【Yes】【No】

Yes!!

The item vanished, and all that softness like a pea disappeared too. Instantly, she felt refreshed, so much better.

Although the familiar hair fragrance still lingered at her nose—a creamy scent from her hair—she was actually lucky for the first time! She actually drew the one she wanted most: blocked touch?

How could she be this lucky? It didn’t match her recent un-luckiness. She felt a bit uneasy.

Calm down, Jiang Shiyang. It’s fine. Luck changes over time, you’ve just turned fortunate.

Probably, right?

Having lost her sense of touch, she could finally focus entirely on the audio drama. The feeling was truly strange. Before, she’d wanted to lose her hearing, but now she was sighing with relief because she could focus on it.

Jiang Shiyang, you’re a bit abnormal.

No, what’s abnormal is Shen Wenyi!

Shen Wenyi, weren’t you using the audio drama as a lullaby? What are you doing now?

Exhale, inhale.

Anyway, it was pitch-black under the blanket, she couldn’t see anything, and now she couldn’t feel anything either. So, whatever. Listen to the audio drama. She needed the sweet plot of the next part to cure her led-astray self.

Still 26% battery.

From now on, there shouldn’t be any more mishaps… right?
