Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 378: Hands, Mouth, Eyes
Cw: gore
Outside, the night sky abruptly opened up into a downpour. Dense droplets of water spilled out from the clouds to be instantly swallowed by the raging waves as if the ocean itself was resonating with the simmering rage of the long-haired Alpha. Silver lighting struck in its powerful resplendent, illuminating the shocked faces inside the storage room.
"XIU—" How... How could this person be here?!
He Juan took the first step into the room and a heavy pressure sunk into the air at once, suffocating in its intensity. The scent of rosewood and whiskey clung onto his body and along with it was the thickening bloodlust that came from deep within his bones.
The most affected one was none other than Injured Man for he was also an Alpha, albeit an ordinary one.
He let go of Mu Yuze’s face and subconsciously scrambled backward, a sliver of dread flashing in his eyes. "He... He is a superior Alpha!" No wonder XIU had the capital to look arrogant and throw his weight around as he pleased, it turned out that he was standing at the apex of the food chain, a position which countless others could only dream of or try to seek using the unreliable aid of drugs!
Injured Man’s sentence had not even settled in the air when He Juan loomed above him, catching him off guard. The thunder roared across the sky and made He Juan’s frosty eyes look abnormally bright. "The hands that hurt him..."
"Wha—" Injured Man was ready to escape when all of a sudden, "AAARGH—!" A bone-chilling crack sounded as He Juan crushed three of his fingers with a stomp of his foot. His eyes rolled backwards in extreme agony as he thrashed on the ground, foaming from the corner of his mouth. "MY HAND, MY HAND....!!!"
Shocked, Lao Liu scrambled to his feet while pulling Mu Yuze in front of him as a shield. The pressure in the air was so heavy that even breathing was difficult, and sweat rolled down his face in buckets. He gripped the struggling boy tighter, causing him to cry out in pain. His eyes were filled with terror and trepidation as if he was looking at a devil incarnate. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Seeing that He Juan was currently occupied, he scurried toward the door like a blind rat, but at that moment, He Juan appeared soundlessly behind him like a ghost.
"The mouth that threatened him..." A small knife appeared in He Juan’s hand, its blade glistening in a deadly gleam. He held the back of Lao Liu’s neck and with a flick of his hand, thrust the knife into his mouth and cut his tongue off!
"AH—!" Blood spurted out of Lao Liu’s mouth in an unending stream and half of it splashed onto Mu Yuze’s body. Not heeding it, Mu Yuze seized the chance when the man’s grip momentarily loosened to free himself and crawled to the corner of the room. He slumped to the ground with his back against the wall, breathing unevenly.
Everything had happened so fast that he still could not process it. His head was ringing and pain wrecked his entire body as though he had just been run over by a truck. He even thought that he was still dreaming.
The person in front of him... was it really He Juan?
The freezing temperature was making it hard for Mu Yuze to keep his eyelids open. Not only that, the pain and exhaustion finally caught up to him and he wished for nothing but to close his eyes and succumb to the darkness that beckoned for him. Nonetheless, he bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to remain awake, watching the grotesque scene unfolding in front of him with unblinking eyes.
He watched as He Juan let go of Lao Liu, leaving him to writhe on the ground and cry out in pain, as he stalked toward the Injured Man who was clambering toward the door.
The man’s face was deathly pale and his eyes bloodshot, his fingers unsalvageable. But at the moment, nothing was more important than his life!
He regretted it. He truly regretted it. If only their employer had told him that the person they were facing was a superior Alpha, he might have thought about it twice before refusing to take on the job! No matter how good the pay was, could it still be more important than his life?!
To provoke a superior Alpha... it was what seeking death meant!
Alas, there was no remedy for regret. Now, he was going to reap what he had sowed.
Injured Man sensed it rather than seeing when He Juan closed in on him. The bloodlust in the pheromones was choking him, forcing him to submit and obey. His own pheromones seemed meek and docile in comparison like a tiny snake facing a starving vulture. Severe pain coursed through his body and he immediately forwent the plan to escape because he knew that his fate would end up worse.
Just a moment ago, he had been the predator but now in front of this man, he was a prey.
Turning around, he hollered at the Alpha, "I will tell you! I will tell you everything about the person who has hired us! Please... spare me!!"
But He Juan did not listen to him. In fact, he couldn’t hear anything since he opened the door and saw the boy he cherished and treasured in such a miserable and helpless state. He could finally find an outlet to the rage, fear and dread coiling in his gut since the first phone call when he discovered that Mu Yuze had been taken away from him.
Right now, his Alpha was unstoppable. It wished for nothing but death and destruction, and He Juan was more than willing to comply.
He stared down at the Injured Man, his mind still replaying the sight of this man’s repulsive smile as he grabbed Mu Yuze’s face. His gaze dropped to the man’s zipper that was still half open.
"Tell me..." he drawled out as he crouched down in front of Injured Man so that they were at the same eye level. An almost gentle smile curved on his lips, yet the mere sight of it caused the other man to shiver and tremble in fear. "What’s the method to determine whether someone will manifest as an omega? I am very curious about it."
Injured Man’s lips trembled. "I–It’s..." Was this a trap? Would he be killed if he did not answer? Even then, the answer was...
His pupils shrank when He Juan raised his hand that was holding the knife, and he hurriedly blurted out the truth without holding back, "I will tell you! I will tell you everything! Please don’t kill me...! It’s..." he gritted his teeth and bit the bullet to say, "It’s very simple. You only need to... fuck them once. Omegas are born slut, so even if they haven’t manifested yet, you will be able to tell because they will get wet easily an—AAHHH!"
Blood splashed onto He Juan’s suit and face as he stabbed the tip of the knife into the man’s eyes and gouged out his eyeball. His smile remained unchanged though his eyes were devoid of any temperature, "The eyes that look at him with sinister greed..."
"You have no need for them anymore."
