Chapter 229: Chapter 149: Pervert Club

Duan Mingyuan and Jiuyue spent an afternoon traversing various parts of the academy, hoping to frame the Pervert Club, this mysterious organization, from as impartial and objective a viewpoint as possible.

The mere name of the organization made it difficult for people not to judge them with prejudice.

However, the results of that afternoon were not pleasant; the teachers and students of the academy had mixed opinions about the Pervert Club. Some, true to the name, thought it was a filthy organization formed by a bunch of perverts and lechers, while others believed one shouldn’t judge others solely based on their name. Perhaps "pervert" held some deeper meaning, different from common understanding.

There were also those who angrily reported that the club, under the guise of "pervert," was a scam, with absolutely no monster-themed material to be found inside.

The complainant has been turned over to the student council for investigation. It was found that not only did this individual hoard a large number of monster-themed publications, but he also profited from them, selling them to other students at the academy.

As the academy had just recently opened its doors to the outside world, many students who had been there since childhood were not internet-savvy and had no understanding of the meaning of "free resources."

Currently, this student has been criticized in a public notice and added to the permanent "Monsters Not Welcome" list.

Regardless of the Pervert Club’s intentions, this student’s perverted identity had become an indisputable fact.

After careful investigation, Duan Mingyuan figured out the root of the difficulties.

——Even the members who had signed up to join the Monster Club did not know what the club was actually about.

15% of the members thought there were free resources to be shared in the club, so they joined.

65% joined because they had heard that joining the club could help them build good relationships with monsters.

Another 20% of the perverts thought they could meet more like-minded friends in the club.

As a result, most members of the Pervert Club were dissatisfied with the organization after joining.

There were neither free monster-related resources, nor was anyone introduced to attractive monster guys and gals, and a small subset of people were attacked and called perverts by others in the group chat after sharing their own quirks and views.

Isn’t this the Pervert Club?

Why are perverts being attacked by others in the club?

In this vast world, where is the haven for perverts?

A pervert, who wished to remain anonymous, complained to Duan Mingyuan and Jiuyue that he was still bothered by the attacks he had endured and accused the organization of being nothing more than a front, selling dog meat under the guise of sheep’s head.

Duan Mingyuan comforted the student and pointed him in the right direction—the prison housed many like-minded friends.

Apart from that, Jiuyue had other findings.

Many monster-themed free resource websites claimed to offer a lookout on many unique practices.

She saved all these websites as direct evidence.

That is, until a veteran member of the Pervert Club provided a crucial clue.

Before their arrival, Li Hua had also sought him out, inquiring about many matters concerning the Pervert Club. It was right after that day that Li Hua had disappeared.

This significant discovery immediately made the case even more complex and bewildering.

This was not a simple monster kidnapping case; it was quite possible that Li Hua had discovered some shocking secrets while investigating the club and was then kidnapped or even silenced.

The Pervert Club certainly hid some secrets unknown to the public!

.........

Meanwhile, at a certain place on Qing Chi Peak.

As Li Hua awoke from her sleep, the first things she felt were coldness and an indescribable sense of oppression enveloping her. Thinking back to what had happened just before she lost consciousness, she immediately closed her eyes, pretending to still be out of it.

However, her slight movements did not escape the attention of a masked man.

"You’re awake," he said.

His voice was cold and deep.

Li Hua found herself in the center of an ancient altar, offered up as a sacrifice on a circular Array drawn with blood.

It looked like some sort of ancient and evil ritual.

The man before her, masked and wrapped tightly in a long robe, was the founder of the Pervert Club.

He was not from the academy but had come to it when it opened to outsiders, drawn by the monsters residing on the back mountain.

Li Hua had been investigating the man in secret because she had accidentally discovered the strength he hid.

All signs indicated that the man possessed life energy as powerful as the venerable Mr. Chen Chou, yet he masqueraded as an ordinary person, feigning harmlessness to get close to the academy’s students and teachers, even forming an organization known as the Pervert Club.

In just one week, he had attracted over a hundred members.

This was a person with insidious intentions, and his coming to Qing Chi Peak surely hid some unspeakable secret.

"Whatever your schemes are, they end here. Teacher Mingyuan has returned, and while there’s still a chance to make amends, leave this place."

"Teacher Mingyuan? I’ve heard of him, the teacher of ’Defense Against the Fiendish Spirits,’ who has brought vitality to the academy and is seen as a hero by many students and teachers. But because he married the teacher of the ’Fantastic Monsters’ course, his reputation has become somewhat mixed,"

the man said, "This is really great, maybe he can answer the doubts that have been in my heart all this time."

"Teacher Mingyuan’s strength far exceeds your imagination. If he learns of your actions, he will not let you off easily!"

The bizarre altar made Li Hua bristle. She arched her tail, feigning a fierce and menacing appearance.

"My actions?"

"I’ve found out everything. You established the Pervert Club and corrupted the academy’s atmosphere!"

"It seems you’re just like the others."

The man sighed regretfully. "Miss Li Hua, what exactly do you understand ’pervert’ to mean?"

"Gathering secretly, sharing indecent resources to win people’s hearts, and setting up altars in the academy to perform evil rituals that sacrifice monsters in secret!"

"It seems you have completely misunderstood the meaning of ’pervert.’"

To him, it was a great word, but society had stigmatized it, almost equating it with evil and filth.

"Isn’t it? Then how do you explain the altar and this array?"

"This is why I invited you here, hoping you would understand the true meaning of ’pervert’ more deeply."

The ritual array burst into a crimson glow.

In an instant, an unprecedented pain enveloped Li Hua, as if the pain was about to tear her apart.

Her pupils dilated, and an intense sensation of suffocation threatened to plunge her consciousness into the abyss at any moment.

Pervert!

This man was certainly a pervert who delighted in watching others’ pain, taking tormenting others as his pleasure!

Li Hua had no idea how long the suffocating pain lasted; her mind became a blank, and just as she wanted to fall asleep, the intense pain jolted her awake.

The torture felt as though it lasted a century.

When the pain had penetrated every cell in her body, she finally escaped from that feeling of suffocation.

Li Hua gasped immediately.

It was an instinctual response to clutch her chest, where her smooth skin was already drenched in cold sweat.

However, in the next moment, the fierce panting stopped.

Li Hua gaped in disbelief.

What met her gaze were human arms, the crimson glow allowing her to clearly see the delicate and smooth skin of a girl, and hanging over the arm, long golden hair that was soft and flowing.

"Miss Li Hua."

The masked man spoke again, as if admiring a piece of art he had meticulously crafted, "Welcome to the world of the ’pervert.’"
