I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 1

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (1)

The room was dim and narrow. Bai Xiyue raised her head, causing the chain wound around her neck to rattle.

Before today, she really didn't know that her boyfriend was a psychopath.

She's a laid-back third-tier actress, a professional female match who wasn't particularly ambitious. She was very happy to make money and having a dating life.

She didn't believe herself to be fickle. She has never been the type to eat from a bowl while eyeing the pot.¹ She was very single-minded when in a relationship; it was just that love always had a shelf life.

Her life motto was to sleep when someone catches her eye and separate once things get boring. Being happy was her prerogative.

However, she never expected her outstanding boyfriend to knock her out after she asked to break up.

When she came to, she found herself in a dark basement where the only source of light was the dying light bulb on the ceiling.

She didn't know how long she had been kept here. Maybe it was a few hours, a day, or even longer.

In that interim, the man came in and gave her food, then went on like a broken record about how he didn't want her to leave him.

Not only does she want to leave, but she also wants to call the police, okay?

[Do you wish to escape?]

No kidding. Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

She paused after responding. Who spoke just now?

[Establishing 'A Harmonious Society'... Greetings, No. 1504. As long as you agree to make a contract with me and complete the required tasks, I can help you get out of here.]

What tasks?

She immediately asked. She wanted to leave here. Pronto.

[You will travel to various worlds and become a scumbag pedaling multiple boats. The task is to break up with several yandere² scumbag targets.]

Bai Xiyue was flabbergasted. Her breakup with one yandere was a failure, but now there's going to be multiple ones?

[It does not matter if the mission fails. We can reload the savedata.]

The so-called system seemed to be aware of her thoughts and added helpfully.

In other words, the black room³ was not a one-time thing, but could happen countless times???

Too evil.

[You have one more minute to think about it.]

I promise.

Doing anything was better than being locked up here and waiting for death.

Bai Xiyue suddenly saw the sun and wasn't able to react for a moment.

She found herself sitting in a high-end restaurant with a quiet ambiance and panoramic view. The windows and decor were impeccable.

Opposite her sat a refined-looking man. He smiled at her before lowering his head to cut the steak.

She was a little surprised to learn that the mission had already started.

[System]: You are at the dating spot. The person sitting opposite you is your boyfriend No. 1, but boyfriend No. 2 has currently entered the elevator with a client and is about to arrive on the battleground. In two minutes, your boyfriend No. 3 will come forward with a tray to tend to your table. Please refrain from triggering the shuraba⁴!

????

Although Bai Xiyue knew that she had become a scumbag, before she even had time to digest the topic of a number one, two, and three, she saw the elevator doors open.

She could tell that the man in a black suit and golden-rim glasses was her No. 2 because the moment she laid eyes on him, her heartbeat accelerated. There was an uncontrollable panic as well as excitement that threatened to burst out of her chest.

Unless the person was blind, she was 100% sure she would be seen. There was no time!

Her mind turned quickly. She immediately stood up and used the fastest speed to paste herself onto boyfriend No.1.

"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Shang Junzhuo stared at his girlfriend who suddenly sat next to him in confusion.

The footsteps were getting closer!

Bai Xiyue lifted his arm then smiled sweetly at the man before burying her face under it.

Ahhhhhh! She hasn't thought of a good method. What is this man even called? Ahhhhhhhhhh!

The sound of the leather shoes stepping on the ground seemed to strike her heart. Bai Xiyue grasped the arm in front of her, and her heart felt like it was touching her throat.

Hurry up and walk away, walk away, walk away!

She wanted to pretend to pick up something, but the system suddenly said that there was still a boyfriend No. 3 approaching the table. The same trick couldn't be used more than once so soon, otherwise the man she was holding would think she had a problem.

Shang Junzhuo was somewhat baffled by how his girlfriend who had been eating just fine suddenly stuck close to him then proceeded to bury herself in the crook of his arm. He could only rub the top of her head.

"Yueyue?"

Don't call me Yueyue! She's already dead!

"As for this issue, we still want to discuss it in more detail with you."

Yan Yushan followed the client and explained the state of affairs to him.

When passing the table, he couldn't help but stop. The back of the woman buried next to the man was a bit familiar, but he couldn't quite tell who she could be.

He made eye contact with the man rubbing his girlfriend's head and they both nodded politely to one another. He wanted to take another look at the woman, but the client beside him spoke out. Narrowing his curious eyes, the man resumed his conversation with the client with a smile and walked past that table.

When Bai Xiyue felt the footsteps stop behind her back, her heartbeat was pounding. Only when the person walked away did her hairs standing on end fall back down.

System: The crisis of No. 2 has been averted for the time being.

She breathed a sigh of relief then looked up from under the man's arm.

When she raised her head, she ran into a pair of gentle eyes. The boyfriend No. 1 she was holding had beautiful peach blossom eyes, tender enough for people to drown inside them.

"Huh, did you suddenly just want to act like a child?"

Bai Xiyue held her chin up with a somewhat arrogant appearance.

Dammit, she still doesn't know what the original owner's personality was like. Not saying anything shouldn't collapse the character design. She doesn't want to get a Game Over so quickly.

"Of course, you can be. Blame me for being too busy with work and not having time to be with you." Shang Junzhuo rubbed his girl's head. His eyes had a trace of guilt.

"It's okay. I'm not an ignorant girl anymore, and I don't need you to accompany me every day." She didn't know performing impromptu lines could be so painful!

"But I want to be with you every day."

Shang Junzhuo squeezed her face together until her dark eyes were all covered up.

Bai Xiyue puffed out a laugh. She hadn't forgotten that boyfriend No. 3 was about to arrive and so she quickly went back to her seat.

As soon as she sat down, she saw a figure from the corner of her eye.

The heart-pounding feeling was back again. Bai Xiyue's throat was constricting.

She hurriedly opened her handbag, pretended to knock it over by accident, then bent down to pick it up.

The moment she did, a beautiful young voice was heard.

"Your dishes have all been served. Please take your time. When you need dessert, ring the bell and we will promptly come forward to serve you both."

Bai Xiyue didn't dare to move. Her whole body was completely frozen. The speaker was very close to her and a peculiar excitement she couldn't control was clamoring in her heart. Her blood ran quicker and a tingling sensation was spreading to all her limbs.

"Is there anything else you need?"

No, no, hurry up and leave!

"No, thank you." Shang Junzhuo nodded and watched the waiter walk away.

After swallowing, Bai Xiyue straightened up, placed the handbag back on the seat, then smiled sweetly at the boyfriend opposite her.

[System]: The crisis of No. 3 has been averted for the time being.

Phew, nearly scared her to death.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Shang Junzhuo used the knife and fork to cut the steak on the plate into small pieces then swapped his plate with hers.

If possible, he also wanted to cut her up and eat her bit by bit. That way she would belong to him completely.

He supported his chin with one hand and smiled deeply as he watched the flushed woman who knew nothing about his sinister side.

It was a shame that he couldn't rush this matter. She liked his gentle and harmless appearance. It wouldn't be good to scare her away.

Bai Xiyue looked at the steak cut in front of her and subconsciously thanked the man.

"We're sweethearts. Why is Yueyue being polite all of a sudden? You can thank me next time, but I'll be angry."

The man on the other side was still very gentle. He didn't have a blaming tone, but Bai Xiyue didn't know why her heart trembled. She kept having a bad feeling.

I'm sorry, being courteous is just a force of habit!

After suffering this lunch, through which she pretended to be strong, Bai Xiyue felt like she had lost a few layers.

She clearly wasn't familiar with the big brother sitting in front of her, but for the sake of survival, she pretended to be all lovey-dovey with him. Not letting him discover any clues was excruciating!

Before Shang Junzhuo rang the bell for dessert, Bai Xiyue made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Only when she walked inside did she feel her tight nerves finally relax.

That was hell on earth back there. She felt like she would die at any moment.

As they ate, she would stress over the conversational topic only for another one to pop up seconds after. She had been a ball of nerves but still had to smile and act tenderly towards that person.

Who can stand this?!

Bai Xiyue walked to the last toilet stall, closed the door, and relieved herself.

Just after she flushed the toilet, the system in her mind suddenly spoke again.

[System]: Host, your current mission is to successfully break up with the four boyfriends without triggering their blackening condition.

[Bai Xiyue]: Four?

[Bai Xiyue]: Where's the other one?

[System]: The stall next to you has a crossdresser.

She turned her head stiffly towards the toilet door panel and began to lose her composure.

She was wrong. The entire restaurant was hell on earth, and the bathroom was no exception.

Bai Xiyue opened the toilet door with a dazed expression.

Hurry up or you'll say hola to your boyfriend in the women's bathroom!

The scene felt deadly just thinking about it!

Bai Xiyue opened the faucet and quickly washed her hands. She was about to leave when she heard a voice say, "Yueyue, you're here too?"

Although it was difficult to discern the gender from that low-pitched and sexy voice, what she knew was it came from that crossdresser.

Bai Xiyue paused in her footsteps and her heart turned to dust.

The author has something to say:-

The female protagonist wants to change her name every day hahahahaha *hiccup*

Although the story is marked as a quick transmigration, it's really a slow one. Who made us have so many targets waiting to be dumped? [deep in thought]

New novel here, I hope everyone supports it [<3]
