The real planning began after I killed Yi Liu and her daughter. I altered my own memories and sealed away all the self-suggestion I knew. The knife wounds on my body were self-inflicted. If I hadn't been able to block out pain for a short time, I really wouldn't have dared to be so ruthless.

After setting the room on fire, I, the murderer who didn't know he was the killer, was sent to the police as a smokescreen.

Now, there's nothing more I can do. Next up is Chun's performance.

After transforming into the helmeted woman and completing her tasks, Tsubaki went to the hospital under the pretext of a high fever to create an alibi for herself.

The next day, Chun ambushed the forensic doctor who was examining the bodies of Liu and her daughter. It didn't matter what abilities the forensic doctor had, as long as the message that someone was ambushing the forensic doctor was successfully conveyed, then which forensic doctor would dare to examine the bodies?

Normally, forensic autopsies are conducted in designated areas, but... don't forget, this is a case of cremation; the deceased's body has turned to ash, so only a forensic doctor with supernatural abilities can conduct the autopsy bit by bit.

Now that the forensic pathologist has been assassinated, will other forensic pathologists still dare to perform autopsies?

Then Tsubaki targeted me again. This was all part of my plan, and Tsubaki knew her limits.

This is another smokescreen, and also an opportunity to clear my name of suspicion.

And then there's the police chief at the police station... Even if I didn't intentionally deceive him, he would still lie to himself because of the slight guilt he felt towards me.

After that, I arranged for Chun to go home and pretend to be attacked, and then I had her set the house on fire. When Chun was rescued, the artificial intelligence also started.

Chun has an absolute alibi and, like me, has the identity of a victim. Victims deserve sympathy; they are the vulnerable party. Even the police tend to have more sympathy for us victims.

I still had plans afterward, but I didn't expect Zhan Xiaoxiao to use truth serum on me like that.

I really didn't expect this, but this stroke of genius has indeed brought my plans forward by a lot, and Zhan Xiaoxiao has successfully gotten herself into trouble.

Although revealing my real name is troublesome, there is no solution at the moment, so I can only put it aside for now.

My original plan was to pin the blame for the serial dismemberment case on Honda Yoko, and the blame for the arson case on Zhan Xiaoxiao. Although I didn't manage to do it, the result was still good.

Next, we need to devise a plan to get Zhan Xiaoxiao to willingly give me her player identity.

However, I remember the grudge against you for the truth serum. I said I would take my revenge on you.

I wonder if a fully unleashed adult demonic flame body can become a pseudo-catastrophic level?

Let's put on a grand fireworks display for Yuling City, and Zhan Xiaoxiao, you are the firework that gets released.

--split line--

I regret it, just like Shu Nai.

I suddenly realized that if I were to write about how three people who are already dead died, who would bother to read it?

The most important thing about light novels is that they are interesting, and that kind of death record is obviously not in the category of interesting, so I will not write that part of the plot.

Chapter Thirty: The Uninvited Guest

2022年9月25日22:40

I'm doomed. No matter how much I struggle, I'm doomed.

The countdown has ended, my mission has failed, and a few words written in blood remain on the far left of my vision.

[Execution Mode]

The game is about to begin. Players, please prepare for the game.

My mood is like the dark clouds in the night sky, obscuring the stars and the moonlight, and even blocking my only way out.

I should have been released this morning. If I had, I would have had time to struggle. But I don't know why, why the police chief at the police station could argue with the chairman of the Hero Association for so long.

He has completely cut off my chance of survival; even if I were released now, I would still be doomed.

Standing outside the police station in Yuling City, I felt somewhat lost and at a loss. Which way should I step? What should I do?

"Ugh..."

With a soft sigh, I felt someone pat my shoulder. Turning around, I saw the old man who had pulled me out of the police station.

Zaku Serswick, the president of the Hero Association, is a powerful individual with S-class superpowers.

"Girl, go home, your mother is waiting for you."

Oh, right, Mom, Mom is still waiting for me... At the very least, I want to see Mom one last time before I die.

"Um... Grandpa Zaku..."

"Alright, girl, your mother is worried about others."

After saying that, Grandpa Zagu turned and walked away in another direction without looking back, leaving me with my words of gratitude stuck in my throat.

I guess... Grandpa Zaku must have disliked me.

That's true, it's only natural that someone like me would be disliked.

Shaking my head to dismiss the troubling thought, I ran headlong towards home.

I endured, endured, endured, trying not to let the tears in my eyes fall.

I am a hero, a superhero. I cannot show my vulnerable side to others. The only place I can act spoiled is in my mother's arms.

Running, running, running, I finally returned to the villa area of ​​Liuli Rose.

"Welcome home, Ms. Zhan Xiaoxiao. Your mother and your friends are already waiting for you at home."

Ignoring the greeting from the AI ​​installed on the automatic door, I ran straight towards my house.

The security guards patrolling along the way seemed used to my appearance, after all, this wasn't the first time I'd rushed back like this, but... this might be the last time.

Bang!

After roughly pushing open the door, I ran towards the living room without even taking off my shoes. I couldn't hold back anymore; I was afraid that if I waited any longer, my tears would fall.

Only in my mother's arms can I cry and be spoiled.

I absolutely cannot tell my mother that I am going to die, but I can whine to her, as I always have, and today is no exception.

Let this be the last time. Let's treat this act of being cute as the last time.

After turning from the hallway into the living room, my first thought was to collapse onto the sofa, because my mother usually sits there while waiting for me.

My mom came to see me this morning. I told her then that I would be released from prison today, so my mom would definitely be waiting for me.

She must have been sitting on the sofa as usual, half-asleep watching TV while trying to stay awake and wait for me to come home.

That must be it!

only...

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. Because the lights were off, I couldn't see what attacked me clearly; I only saw a blurry, dark shadow.

Bang!

The sound of a body hitting a wall...

When I came to my senses, my body had already crashed into the wall. The pain from my back made me groan involuntarily, but I could endure even more painful injuries, so I could easily grit my teeth and get through this little injury.

The body instinctively made an evasive maneuver, but the attacker did not follow up with a subsequent attack.

I looked in the direction of the attacker with some curiosity. Although the room was dark, I could still vaguely make out the outline of a girl.

Just then, some of the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight, which had been obscured, shone down, casting a silvery glow. The moonlight shone through the window onto the girl.

"Forehead..."

Some people had difficulty making a sound, couldn't understand what was happening in front of them, and didn't understand why she was there.

Her long, silver hair had a metallic sheen, her face was flawlessly beautiful, and her icy blue eyes even seemed to glow faintly in low light.

Poor Hua Gong, what is she doing here?

"Good evening, Miss War Maiden, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I told you not to use honorifics!"

Subconsciously, I replied to Hanamiya Karen with that sentence. Then Hanamiya Karen pulled out an AUO45-Sky Strike from behind her and held it to my head. My forehead was pressed against the cold muzzle of the gun, and cold sweat instantly soaked my clothes.

"Oh dear, what did you just say, Miss War Maiden?"

"No...no..."

Although I knew I would definitely die after being put into execution mode, I still held onto a sliver of hope. What if... what if I survived?

But if Hanamiya Karen shoots, I will definitely die, without any chance of survival.

So I chickened out. Even though I knew it was Hanamiya who had driven me to this point, I still chickened out. Between dying now and dying later, I chose to die later.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Please don't be so nervous, Miss War Maiden. I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

"A deal? What deal? I'm more concerned about why you're in my house, and where's my mother? Where is my mother?"

"Don't rush, Miss War Maiden."

As she spoke, Hanamiya Karen actually took the gun away from my forehead, then leisurely turned around and turned on the living room chandelier, and then sat down on the sofa as if she were the master of the house.

"Please sit, Miss War Maiden."

My lips twitched involuntarily. Hanamichi Karen really didn't consider herself an outsider. But what could I do? I didn't know if Hanamichi Karen knew where her mother was; I could only assume the worst, that Hanamichi Karen knew where her mother was.

After I sat down opposite her, the cold barrel of the gun was pressed against my head again.

"Don't mind me, Miss War Princess. This is just a precaution. I was afraid you would attack me. After all, I'm just an ordinary high school girl who can't even kill a chicken. A criminal like you, an A+ class criminal, could easily kill me."

"You're not the criminal! You are!"

Hua Gong shrugged pitifully, feigning helplessness.

"Sigh, even if you say that, Miss War Maiden, who would believe you?"

"you!"

My first instinct was to get up and grab Hanamichi Karen's collar, but I stopped because I saw Hanamichi Karen's index finger on the trigger.

I didn't dare gamble, I didn't dare gamble on whether Hanamichi would pull the trigger, so I could only obediently sit back on the sofa.

"Don't get excited, Miss War Maiden. We should talk about that deal now, a deal that will only benefit you."

"So what exactly is this deal?!"

"Wait, before we talk about the deal, I want to show you something."
