A villainous girl created by paranoia

“I don’t need it for now. Lily, as you saw, the [Weakness II] negative buff doesn’t affect me much. Besides, I suspect there might be another battle later, so it’s better to save the serum for now.”

"Another battle? Where is my sister going? Is she going to leave me alone again?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Lily, don't get agitated."

I wasn't agitated! Although I wanted to argue with my sister, how could a drunk person admit to being drunk? So I kept quiet, waiting for my sister's explanation, and refused to be the one who was drunk.

"I'm going to Lily's house again later, and of course, I'll take you with me."

I always felt like Lily's house was hiding something, and I was really itching to go if I didn't.

Indeed, just as my sister said, even I feel that something is hidden in my house, because the zombies roaming there are really too abnormal.

Rather than wandering, they were more like guards, and of all the surrounding buildings, only my house was intact; the others were either destroyed or damaged.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. I think there's a lot of useful information in this letter too."

After saying that, my sister unfolded the letter, and I moved closer to her and read the contents of the letter with her.

Dear survivor, in this apocalypse, I am so glad that you can receive our gift.

The fact that you were able to snatch supplies from the zombie horde shows that you are a very capable person. Unfortunately, we did not put any food supplies in the crate today, but we did put a universal serum in the crate. The serum is very effective.

The serum can instantly eliminate the zombie virus from your body. If you are scratched by a zombie or if a zombie's bodily fluids accidentally drip into your wound, you must use this serum.

Remember, the zombie virus infection is no joke; you must be extremely vigilant in fighting it.

If you can survive until the next day using today's supplies, then we will put food in the chest on the second day.

If you can hold out until the third day, we will include a map to our base in the box, where... there is some food stored.

—September 12, 2025

—Survivors Alliance

After reading the entire letter, I felt just as my sister had said—it contained a lot of information.

2025...that means it's three years from now. Will the world be like this in three years?

Is this real, or just part of a game?

For some reason, this world, where I don't know if it's real or not, makes me feel waves of panic.

"Alright, I've roughly memorized the contents of the letter. Next..."

My sister didn't continue, and I know why... it's because...

【2022年10月4日6:12，8号玩家用长刀刺死了6号玩家，现在游戏所剩成员为...15人。】

Player number 8... Player number 8 is Mr. Ling, right?... Then player number 6 is... Sister Aurora?

Why? Aren't they in the same group? Why did Mr. Ling kill Sister Aurora?

......

......

......

[Ling's Perspective]

I am... the killer.

Seeing Aurora's incredulous expression, I drew my longsword without hesitation. Then, Aurora's body collapsed to the ground like a puppet that had lost all its power.

What is Aurora's identity? Aurora's identity is no longer important; whether she is a survivor or a killer, it doesn't matter.

Because all I have to do is kill.

I can't take it anymore, I've had enough. I'm the killer, yet I call myself a survivor.

raw cherry blossoms...

They wouldn't lie to me, which means they are definitely survivors.

The three of us are... enemies.

It's a joke that's not funny at all, that the three of us could become enemies who fight each other.

I don't want to!

I want to protect them, I want to protect both of them, even if it means my own death.

I don't know who my other two killer teammates are, so I chose this indiscriminate killing method. Killers or survivors alike, as long as I kill them all, Sheng and Ying will be safe.

Dark red blood trickled from Aurora's lips. Her body twitched twice and then stopped moving. She was doomed because I had stabbed her in the heart.

【2022年10月4日6:12，8号玩家用长刀刺死了6号玩家，现在游戏所剩成员为...15人。】

As if confirming my thoughts, the system notification rang in my mind at just the right time.

While I breathed a sigh of relief, a strange fear welled up inside me.

Aurora... She's a graduate of our school. To be precise, she's the senior of me, Sakura, and me. We received a lot of help from her when we were in school, and after our debut, the three of us immediately became fans of Senior Aurora.

However, we gradually realized that the kind and gentle senior had changed. She had become arrogant, unapproachable, and mercenary, but these were all irrelevant to the present.

My reason for killing Aurora was simple: I could tell she was extremely bloodthirsty, so... I killed her before she could kill anyone else...

That way, Ichigo and Sakura will be safer.

Da da da...

I heard footsteps behind me, and I knew who it was without turning around.

It is life and cherry blossom.

"Ling...why? Why did you kill Miss Aurora?"

Sakura asked this question; she should already know, know my identity, but why did she still ask? How am I supposed to answer you? Tell me I lied to you? How can I even bring myself to say that?

I didn't say anything. After shaking off the blood from the knife, I walked forward without uttering a word.

I didn't take anything from the box except for the long sword in my hand.

"Ling! Where are you going?"

This is the sound of life...

I'm such a fool. You all know me so well, why can't you figure out why I did this? Or are you all just pretending to be stupid?

That's true. I've never been as quick-witted as the two of you, and my emotional intelligence isn't very high either. Pretending to be clueless in this situation does make me feel a bit better.

Da da da...

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind again; it was probably Sheng chasing after them.

Seriously! You bastard! Don't chase after me!

I'm afraid, afraid that I'll stop here, stay here, and say everything in my heart.

Because those two idiots are really warm-hearted.

So I turned my head away, not to stop for them, but to sever their lingering attachment.

hum...

The blade trembled slightly and emitted a buzzing sound. Sheng stopped in his tracks, for my long sword was now against his neck.

"Get lost, stop bothering me."

"Ling! Can't we discuss and resolve things together? Why... why do we have to?"

"Shut up! Otherwise, I really will chop you down."

“Ling…”

I silently sheathed my longsword, then turned and ran away.

I ran away, fled in panic. I couldn't face their questioning eyes; I didn't want to tell them I had betrayed them.

The rain was heavy; I don't know if it was because the world was moving at double speed or if the rain was just naturally this heavy.

I lost my shelter, and I fled my fire and into the cold rain.

--split line--

I checked my monthly pass today...

Chapter Twenty-Three: Little White Flower?

[Lily's Perspective]

Although it was surprising that Mr. Ling killed Sister Aurora, it didn't affect my sister and me's plans. Now, my sister and I have returned to that six-story residential building. This time, we didn't choose the rooftop because the rain outside was too heavy.

There seemed to be fewer zombies wandering around than last time, probably because the system had just been locked down.

"Listen, Lily, just run straight to your house. Use your pistol in case of emergency, and leave the rest to me."

After saying that, my sister flicked her katana, leaving the scabbard on the ground, and I picked up the pistol in a very serious manner.

My sister gave me the pistol and two grenades, while she took the katana for herself.

"Then, sister, shall I set off?"

"Okay, let's go."

After getting my sister's permission, I nodded and then jogged towards my home.

When the surrounding zombies saw me running towards them, they all waved their fists and charged at me.

If you ask me if I'm scared... of course I am scared, but I know that my sister is behind me, and she will definitely protect me.

call out!

I heard a whooshing sound behind me, and before I could react, my sister was already in front of me. She swung her katana, and the heads of the three zombies closest to me flew into the sky.

The next moment, my sister's figure disappeared again. When she reappeared, she was already beside me, and she cleaved the zombie three meters away from me in two with her knife.

Wow, so fast! It's really fast!
