<h4>Chapter 17: I don''t want you to have any regrets</h4>


    "Death Tattoo!"


    Mother and daughter both eximed in surprise.


    Seeing Alexander''s blood-red tattoo, Isabe was even more shocked:


    "Blood color, you... you''ve already experienced it once?"


    "Yep!" Alexander nodded and said, "I just came out not too long ago and have passed the neer assessment to be an official Chosen. If it weren''t for this tattoo, I wouldn''t have been able to help Sophia even if I wanted to."


    The only solution for this type of invitation was for the one with the Death Tattoo to touch the invitation item and enter on behalf of the invitee.


    The room fell silent for a moment.


    After a while, Isabe came back to her senses, looking at Alexander with a mixture of pity and affection, and asked:


    "The instance world must be dangerous, right? I heard that those who enter, especially neers, suffer a lot and have a slim chance of survival. You must have had a hard time inside?"


    "Actually, it was more thrilling than dangerous. I quite enjoyed it," Alexander thought about his experience in the instance and said:


    "I entered a school instance. The ghosts inside were really nice, the teachers were gentle, and the ssmates were very enthusiastic and spoke kindly. Everyone loved to learn and often asked for advice. I wasn''t very good at studying, but luckily, I had a top student as my deskmate who was always willing to help and solve problems for ssmates."


    Pfft!


    Sophia couldn''t help butugh at Alexander''s serious expression, and some of the fear on her face dissipated.


    Gentle? Enthusiastic? And eager to help?


    Is this a horror world? It seems more like a social game!


    That''s the infamous horror instance world, where countless people turn pale at the mention of it, and thousands of people die inside every day.


    "You!" Isabe red at Alexander unhappily:


    "At a time like this, you''re still trying to make usugh!"


    "I''m telling the truth!" Alexander hurriedly exined:


    "I even made a big brother in there. He''s very loyal and said he''d have my back when he makes it big!"


    A big brother? Probably a senior yer, right? It couldn''t be a ghost, could it?


    He must have said this to cheer them up and help them rx because they were so scared.


    However, it was said that the restaurant instances usually chose neers, and they wouldn''t be lucky enough to meet a senior yer in the next instance. Was he still thinking about them at this time?


    Isabe''s watery eyes gazed at Alexander, her seductive nce seemingly melting away.


    "Isabe, why are you staring at me like that?"


    Alexander felt tingling all over his body under Isabe''s gaze and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Alexander, you go out first. Sophia and I need to change our clothes. You cane back in ten minutes."


    Isabe hesitated for a long time before speaking softly.


    Alexander didn''t think too much about it, after all, Sophia was only wearing a coat on her upper body at the moment.


    Stepping outside, whispers from the mother and daughter could be heard inside.


    Alexander assumed that Isabe wasforting her daughter, so he didn''t give it much thought. He took the recruitment notice in his hand and slowly pressed it against his Death Tattoo.


    A sh of blood-red light passed, and on the recruitment notice, the characters "Sophia" turned into flowing blood, eventually bing the "Alexander."


    "Fierce Ghost Restaurant!"


    Alexander''s expression turned serious as he pondered.


    Known as the graveyard of neers, even experienced yers might not encounter much inside, so naturally, Alexander was not as rxed as he seemed on the surface.


    "There are seven days left until the end of the month. The Death Tattoo allows entrance once a month, so it seems that I won''t be able to enter another instance to increase my strength before then. Fortunately, I have one more invitation."


    Muttering under his breath, Alexander produced the invitation to the Ghost Apartment.


    He originally had not nned to enter so soon, especially since he couldn''t find any information about this Ghost Apartment instance on the Horror Forum.


    However, with the end of the month approaching and the need to enter the so-called neer graveyard, this might be his only chance to increase his strength.


    Luckily, the invitation was issued by the beautiful headteacher, who had a high favorability of 60 points, so he should not encounter any danger.


    At worst, the headteacher of a neer instance couldn''t possibly live in a luxurious ce, so it must be much weaker than the Fierce Ghost Restaurant.


    "We''re done changing, you cane in!"


    As Alexander was thinking, Isabe''s voice rang out.


    Alexander hurriedly put away the two items in his hand and pushed the door open to enter.


    Isabe and Sophia, mother and daughter, were sitting on the edge of the bed, both having changed into new clothes.


    Isabe was wearing a pinkish-white Chinese-style porcin cheongsam. Even while sitting, her exquisite figure was entuated, especially her prominent chest, which made one''s heart race.


    Beneath the cheongsam''s slit, her slender, snow-white legs were barely visible. Her small feet, painted with red nail polish, were wrapped in a pair of crystal high heels, exceptionally enticing.


    Sophia was dressed in a cute Lolita princess dress, with blue lining and whitece. She wore her hair in buns, with long pink ribbons hanging down her shoulders, white thigh-high socks, and a pair of delicate pink shoes.


    The mother and daughter sitting side by side on the bed created an extraordinarily beautiful scene.


    "Come, sit here!"


    Alexander didn''t expect that when Isabe said they were changing their clothes, she meant into such attire. He thought they would change into casual home clothes, but this was more like dressing up for a banquet!


    Seeing Alexander enter, Isabe moved slightly to the side and patted the empty space between them.


    "Isabe..."


    Alexander swallowed his saliva.


    The space between them was a bit too small, wasn''t it?


    However, Isabe seemed not to notice Alexander''s difort. She stood up, pulled him to sit down close to her, and then sat down right beside him as well.


    Hmm...it''s a bit crowded.


    The warmth from both sides made Alexander feel a bit dry-mouthed.


    "Alexander, as far as I know, you''ve never had a girlfriend, right?"


    Isabe casually ced her hand on Alexander''s leg, speaking to him. Because they were so close, her warm breath hit Alexander''s ear.


    "No...no!"


    Alexander didn''t know what Isabe meant, but he stuttered a reply.


    "What I mean is... the world of horror is so dangerous, especially instances like the Ghost Restaurant. There''s a high chance you might note back, and I... don''t want you to have any regrets."


    As Isabe spoke, her hand gently moved on Alexander''s leg, gradually getting closer.


    Alexander wanted to avoid it, but Sofia was right next to him, leaving no room to dodge. His legs were somewhat unresponsive, and he said with a trembling voice:


    "Isabe, Sofia... Sofia is still here!"


    Isabe gave a charming smile, her actions on his leg not stopping, as she leaned closer to Alexander:


    "You''re willing to risk your life for us. What can''t we do for you? I told you, she should be happier watching you, right? I don''t want you to have any regrets! If you can make it back alive, let Sofia marry you when shees of age. As long as you don''t mind... both Isabe and Sofia are yours!"


    With that, she yfully extended her tongue and brushed it past Alexander''s earlobe.
