The roommate looked perfectly human—a handsome young man. It would have been even better if he didn’t turn into a liquid at three in the morning, squeeze through the window’s security bars, and ooze into Shen Zeyu’s room. With tears in his eyes, Shen Zeyu began teaching him the finer points of being human. After two and a half years of cohabitation, the ever-patient Teacher Shen successfully became a household name in the Faux Human community—a gold-medal instructor renowned throughout their world. Listening to his roommate’s human speech—a jumble of chaotic word order and missing subjects and predicates—Shen Zeyu decided to change his teaching plan. It was time to launch some “public service social practice activities.” Just then, his superiors at the Foundation started a relentless campaign of “death-by-conference-call,” pressuring everyone to join the Anomaly Domain Exploration Team. Refuse to sign up, and you’d be first on the chopping block. Shen Zeyu stared at his roommate. “Are you afraid of fire?” The roommate shook his head. “Are you afraid of death?” he asked again. The roommate’s head spun a full 360 degrees on the spot. Undeterred, Shen Zeyu pressed on: “Are you and your kind afraid of being exploited by capitalists?” The roommate’s neck, twisted like a pretzel, tilted slightly. With a grand wave of his hand, Shen Zeyu signed himself and his entire cohort of star Faux Human students up for the Anomaly Domain Exploration Team. After one exploration ended. Read at Novelib.com Shen Zeyu: “Prepare a summary and submit a practical report within three days. Additionally, today’s assignment is: What did you learn in the Anomaly Domain during this exploration?” Student 1: “Humans should not go to the bathroom alone at night.” Student 2: “Humans cannot breathe.” Roommate: “I am a Faux Human. You are my Master.” Shen Zeyu: “Huh???” They say being an Honored Master is a high-risk profession, and modern teachers are no exception. Beneath the myriad stars, the roommate he lived with day and night completely shed its illusory form, revealing its true nature before him. It was the rhythm of the cosmos, a primordial color transcending dimensions. A radiant deity, driven by endless hunger and insatiable thirst, descended upon the world in pursuit of vibrant life force. Boundless colors flooded his world. Shen Zeyu (Bucket-in-Hand Escape Mode): “My life is over!!!” Reading Guide: The gong (top) is a blank slate, lacking common sense, imprinted like a chick, and trusts the shou (bottom) unconditionally. The shou has a “beloved by all (Faux Humans)” attribute. The romance is 1v1, and both characters are “clean” (double clean). UMF stands for “Unusual Matter Facility.” The setting is a nonsensical comedy where the protagonist happily cohabitates with a Cthulhu-esque monster, similar to Haiyore!
