A villainous girl created by paranoia

I don't know when, but Hanako had stopped inhaling cold air and stopped exerting force, and was curled up. I guessed that the drug was about to take effect, so I turned her over to her side.

Sure enough, the truth serum took effect.

At this moment, Hua Gonglian's icy blue eyes began to lose focus, crystal tears kept sliding down her cheeks, and her lips were softly murmuring.

"My head hurts so much... my head hurts so much..."

After confirming that the medication had taken effect, I took out a voice recorder from my pocket and started recording. Then I grabbed the back of Hanamichi Karen's hospital gown by the collar and dragged her to a corner, which was the best angle my phone camera could capture.

I originally intended for Hanamichi Karen to stand in the corner, but now Hanamichi Karen is like she has no bones, kneeling directly on the ground, and there's a hint that she's about to lie down on the ground again.

If she lay down, my interrogation would become tiring, so I helped her sit down against the corner of the wall.

After confirming once again that the recorder was recording, I finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The mental torment that countdown had been putting on me these past few days was finally over.

It's finally over. What? Even the highest-level Super S+ level story mission is nothing more than this?

Once I complete the final task, the other smaller tasks are actually optional.

To avoid any complications, I began interrogating Hanamichi Karen, but I didn't intend to get straight to the point at first. Although the drug's effects only lasted five minutes, what if Hanamichi Karen was faking it? So I decided to ask some minor questions first.

"What's your name?"

Hanamichi Karen slowly raised her head and looked at me with unfocused eyes. She seemed to be looking at me, yet she didn't seem to be looking at me at all. Clear tears kept sliding down her face. Her pitiful appearance made her look like she had just been... you know... done to her.

Not long after, Hanamiya Karen answered my question.

“My name is...Shunegate.”

???

I was completely horrified! What the hell?! Aren't you called Hua Gong Ke Lian? I've gone through all this trouble and you're telling me I've got the wrong person?!

It's as frustrating as being called by a hotel requesting in-room services, only to have a woman answer the door.

Maybe I was influenced by that trashy old bureau chief, because I've also developed the bad habit of swearing.

Calm down, I need to calm down.

Suppressing the urge to strangle this guy named Shunegate right now, I continued to ask.

"What makes Hua Gong so pitiful?"

After another pause, Hanamiya Karen finally began to answer.

"I am Hanako-kun."

"Holy shit!" I almost blurted out that curse, but thankfully Shunegate continued.

"Her physical name is Hanamiya Karen, and her soul name is Shunegate."

Damn! Turns out he's a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer! That scared the hell out of me!

It's like when a woman opens the door, blinks, and tells you she's a lesbian—your emotions go through a rollercoaster.

However, someone like Shunegate must be quite ill, right? Out of curiosity, I asked.

What is the relationship between Shunegate and Hanamiya Karen?

"Desperate Hanamichi Karen feared death but did not want to live. A consciousness named Shunegate found her and proposed to merge with her. Hanamichi Karen agreed, and that's how I came to be."

Tsk, it might not be as simple as just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), because I remember now, I remember the name Shunegate.

The goddess of sin, Shunegate.

There are gods in this world, and Shunegate is the most notorious god because she is evil itself, and because she is evil, she does evil.

The goddess Shunegate committed countless evil deeds, which will not be listed here because they are too morally reprehensible.

Most importantly, if the body of the pitiful Hanamiya really does house the consciousness of the goddess Shunegate, then the monster I saw, which resembled a natural disaster, can be explained.

It must be the goddess Shunegate.

That should be the most difficult part of this mission. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder. I made up my mind: after handing the evidence over to the police, I would run away with my mother. As for what the police would do with the information that Hanamiya Karen was Shunegate, or whether they would be the God of Hunting, that was none of my business.

As mentioned before, there are gods in this world, so where are they? Naturally, they reside in the realm of gods.

So why don't the gods come out to manage this chaotic world? Because they dare not.

The epic God Hunting Project from a century ago remains a source of pride for everyone on the planet. During that project, a total of 133 gods were hunted down, including three main gods with their own set of rules. Even the God of Light was nearly killed.

Ironically, it was the very followers of the God of Light who nearly killed him. The largest and only officially recognized church on the planet is the Church of Light.

The god they worship is naturally the God of Light, but as it turns out, the believers not only do not help the god in the god-hunting plan, but also actively hunt down the god.

In the words of the believers in the church:

We believe in the Lord of Light, we revere the Lord of Light, but God does not allow Him to have a physical form, does not allow Him to point fingers at us, and does not allow Him to appear on the stars; if He does appear, we will kill Him.

All life on the star is not under the rule of the gods, because the gods are not qualified to rule them; the gods' status is simply too low.

As the God of War, the supreme god with the highest combat power, any one of the twenty Calamities could easily crush him with one hand. Even the newly emerged Calamity Shincho Jin Zhengxian, who is known as the shame of the Calamities, could toy with the God of War to death.

That's why I say the gods aren't high enough in terms of prestige. Right now, the king of Animbed seems to be researching how to open the gates to the divine realm. As for what he's planning to do? I'd say, those who know, know.

Okay, we've digressed. Let's get back to the interrogation of Hanamichi.

However, I asked the next question out of curiosity.

"So, who do you see now, Hanamichi or Shunegate?"

After a brief pause, Shunegate spoke.

"Yes, but if we have to prioritize, Shunegate is the main character, but the emotions and memories belong to Hanamiya, and even the body belongs to Hanamiya. I only know that I am Shunegate, and I have no memories of Shunegate."

I breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to ask other questions. I was now certain that the truth serum had taken effect; otherwise, Hanamiya Karen wouldn't have answered such a confidential question.

Are you a criminal?

Hanamichi's pitiful tears seemed to flow like a tap without a valve, soaking a large area of ​​her hospital gown.

She looked like a weak and helpless lonely girl, but her answer was chilling.

"Yes, I am a criminal."

Hmph, I've won after all! Come on! Haruhi Hanamichi! Let me recount your sins!

“Tell me all the crimes you have committed.”

There was the familiar pause before Hanamiya Karen continued speaking.

"Kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, drug use, intentional injury."

I frowned, and then said.

“Go on.”

This pitiful pause from Hanamichi made me quite irritable, and when I heard her reply, I became even more irritable.

"Nothing."

I grabbed Hua Gong's poor collar and couldn't help but raise my voice by a decibel.

"Ha! You think killing and burning a body isn't a crime?!"

It was that same agonizing pause again.

"I have never done that kind of thing."

"If you didn't do it, then who did it?!"

Damn, has the drug worn off? That shouldn't be the case, it hasn't even been three minutes yet.

"I am not sure."

I had an urge to strangle Hanamichi right now, but I held back. I had to hold back because I didn't have any evidence yet.

"I'll ask you one more time! Listen carefully! Have you ever committed the crime of burning corpses and killing people? Are you the murderer in the arson case? Is Inukai Tsubaki the murderer in the serial dismemberment case?!"

“I did not commit the crime of burning a body and killing someone, nor am I the murderer. Chun was imprisoned in my house when the dismemberment case occurred, so Chun is not the murderer either.”

It's happening again...it's happening again...

She's manic, restless, destructive, and bloodthirsty. She's waking up, and if she wakes up, I'll die too...

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down! Let's calm down! It's not over yet! It's not a dead end yet.

"I'll say it one last time! If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you! Are you the murderer?!"

A brief pause...and then...

"I am not the murderer, and I have never killed anyone."

Snapped!

The sound of something breaking...

Grabbing Hanamichi Karen's hand, he flung her away violently, throwing her out like a rag doll, where she rolled several times on the ground in a sorry state.

Suppressing the urge to snap Hanamichi's poor neck right now, I went up to her, grabbed her long hair again, and lifted her off the ground.

It might have been due to the truth serum, or perhaps I threw her too hard; in any case, poor Hanamichi vomited a mouthful of black blood. Her pitiful and wretched appearance would surely garner a lot of sympathy. But I felt no sympathy whatsoever. Not only did I not feel any pity, I was also seething with hatred, wishing I could bite her right now.

I stared into her unfocused, icy blue eyes and said fiercely.

"Listen! Hanamichi! You must admit that you are the murderer in the arson case! Do you understand? You must admit it!"

"I don't want to admit it, and I don't want to take the blame."

Boom!

"Waaah..."

A violent impact and a girl's soft, mournful cry...

The source of the impact was simple: I dragged her head and slammed it against the wall.

"Do you admit you're the murderer?"

With just that one blow, Hanamichi was left with a bloody head. I thought she would give in because of the pain of her head injury, but reality slapped me hard in the face.

"I don't admit it, I'm not the murderer."

Boom!

"Do you admit it or not!"

If you don't admit it, I'll run you over! I'll run you over until you admit it!
