A villainous girl created by paranoia

Should we use inheritance to remove Hanamichi from the team?

--【whether】--

I naturally chose "yes" without any hesitation, and the pop-up window changed again the next moment.

[Player Zhan Xiaoxiao, you have escaped the Dark Abyss World]

The notification lasted for about two seconds before fading away, along with the blood-red mission in the lower left corner of the screen. The permanent ability [Criminal Perception] obtained from the shop also disappeared, and the physique upgrade obtained from the shop was also downgraded again.

At the same time, some changes also occurred on Hanamiya Karen's side. The inheritance certificate that was originally on Hanamiya Karen's finger suddenly burst into flames, and the magic circle under her feet that was glowing with a pale blue light also dimmed instantly.

Everything seemed to freeze for about three seconds before the magic circle beneath Karen Hanamichi's feet lit up again. However, this time the magic circle was no longer glowing blue, but... black?

I know that, rationally speaking, black light does not exist, but I really don't know how to describe that kind of light; I can only assume that it is black light.

In about a 3-second interval, the black light suddenly surged, forming a cylindrical beam that enveloped Hua Gong Ke Lian completely.

I took two steps back in fear. First, it was the first time I had ever seen such a horrifying scene. Second, it seemed that countless shrill and hoarse roars came from within the black light.

The beam of light stretched straight into the sky and blended into the night, making it difficult to distinguish whether the blackness was the night or the beam of light.

The beam of light lasted for about ten seconds before Hana's pitiful figure gradually appeared in front of me.

At this moment, Hanamichi was not as badly injured as I had imagined. She was no different from before the pillar of light rose, except that her attention was not on me, but seemed to be looking at something in front of her that I could not see.

I know what that is; she's looking at that game. But I don't care if she understands it later. What I need to do now is find my mom.

"Poor Flower Palace, I've already transferred my player identity to you as requested. Isn't it time for you to return my mother to me?"

After hearing my words, Hanamiya Karen finally came to her senses and nodded.

"Indeed, the transaction is complete, so there's no use for me holding onto the insurance."

At this point, Hanamiya's pitiful expression suddenly became conflicted. I knew the reason; she had left her AUO45-Sky Strike at my house, since it was definitely not a good idea to take that gun out.

"That sniper rifle... is equipped with a total of seven spread rounds. Five have already been fired, and there are two spread rounds left. I'll give them to you, Miss War Maiden."

To be honest, the spread bullets that cost 500 star coins each don't appeal to me much. I could buy a whole trainload of those trash bullets. But seeing Hanamichi's pitiful expression makes me very happy.

"Well then, Miss War Maiden, I'll head back to the hospital now."

"Why are you going back to the hospital to tell me? No! Tell me where Mom is first! If anything happens to Mom, I will definitely kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Hanamichi Karen spread her hands and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Don't get excited, Miss War Princess. I've already had Chun send your mother home. She should be waiting for you in your living room right now."

When I heard Hanamiya Karen say that my mother was alright, I finally felt relieved. But I was also a little afraid that Hanamiya Karen was lying to me, so I quickly asked her what was wrong.

"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you? I'm telling you, if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you."

Hearing my threat, even Hanamiya Karen sighed helplessly and then patiently explained.

"First of all, Miss War Maiden, I have no intention of being your enemy. If your mother is not in your living room intact, you are welcome to come to the hospital to see me at any time."

"What if you run away?"

"If I try to run away, not only will you not let me go, but the officers at the police station will not let me go either, so I have no choice but to obediently return to the hospital."

Furthermore, Miss War Maiden, can you think of any reason why I must be your enemy? I have received your promise, accepted your apology, and avenged myself.

"If you were an ordinary person, I might have gone a bit further, but you're an A+ level criminal. Why would I mess with someone like you?"

I am an A+ rank hero!

Although I wanted to argue back, I ultimately gave up on continuing to bicker with Karen Hanamichi. My priority was to confirm my mother's safety.

After glaring at Hanamiya Karen again, I said fiercely.

"If you dare to lie to me, you're dead."

“I won’t lie to you. If your mother isn’t waiting for you in the living room completely unharmed, you can come to the hospital to find me anytime.”

Why is she repeatedly emphasizing the hospital? Never mind, don't overthink it.

Finally, after giving Hanamiya Karen, who was still putting on a professional fake smile, I turned and left the port.

......

......

......

After running all the way, I finally arrived at my doorstep. I was a little uneasy, afraid that Hanamiya Karen hadn't let Inukai Tsubaki put my mother back home as she had said.

Squeak...

I gently opened the door, and the moment I did, I heard a slightly noisy sound.

That's... the sound of a television!

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but get excited. Karen Hanamichi didn't lie to me; Karen Hanamichi actually kept her promise.

Instinctively, I ran towards the living room.

What's Mom's expression now? Is she still watching TV absentmindedly as usual while waiting for me? Or is she looking nervously towards the hallway every now and then?

But that's normal. After all, a mother who has no special abilities would definitely panic if she encountered something so terrifying.

Just turn the corner of this corridor and you'll enter the living room, where you'll see your mother sitting on the sofa.

The thought of my mother's slightly frightened expression made me want to laugh, which was a bit unkind. My mother has always been the one to comfort me, so this time it's my turn to comfort her.

I wonder what it would be like if I hugged my mom's shoulders and stroked her hair like I was comforting a child? I'm... kind of looking forward to it.

Finally, I turned the corner, and I couldn't suppress the smile on my face. It seemed that even the pain of my broken left arm didn't hurt so much anymore.

The living room lights were on, and a boring variety show was playing on the TV. Perhaps it was a bit cold, because Mom, wearing a nightgown, was shivering on the sofa, hugging her shoulders.

When she saw me come back, my mother turned her head towards me and gave me a somewhat forced smile.

"Little Xiao is finally back! Mommy was almost frozen. Come here, Little Xiao, let Mommy give you a hug."

As she spoke, Mom stood up from the sofa and opened her arms wide, looking as if she was very welcoming of my head-on collision.

The living room window was open, and a gentle breeze ruffled my mother's golden hair. In that instant, I had so much I wanted to say to her.

I want to tell my mom that I've escaped that game that could kill me at any moment.

I want to tell my mom that I want to be a hero recognized by everyone from now on, and I won't be as headstrong as before.

I want to tell my mom not to go to work anymore. My salary is enough for our daily expenses, so she can just stay home and rest.

I have so much to say to my mother. After this unfortunate experience at the Flower Palace, I will definitely pay more attention to protecting her safety.

But now, I can't say anything. Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes, and I rushed into my mother's arms. My mother caught me without hesitation.

Feeling my mother's embrace, it is my safe haven, my Eden, my ideal land, the only place where I can be carefree.

Tears welled up in my eyes. Ah, I am so happy.

Happiness is like a dream...

I wish all of this were real...

why...

I do not understand...

Why does it have to be this way...?

Didn't you say you had no reason to be hostile to me?

Why did it turn out like this?

Flowers! Palace! Pitiful!

Happiness like a dream? No, that's a dream!

The living room lights were off, and a boring variety show was playing on the TV, but Mom wasn't on the sofa.

At this moment, Mom was lying on her back on the ground with her eyes closed, her expression peaceful.

Blood pooled beneath the mother, and the source of the blood... was her neck...

At that moment, a gruesome wound was cut into my mother's neck. I could even see the exposed flesh beneath the wound, and the thick, sticky blood clung to my mother's fair neck, looking quite gruesome.

"Don't...don't..."

This is fake, this is a dream. At this moment, I so wish that everything in front of me was fake.

Bang!

A dark blue bullet spun in through the window. Normally, I would have noticed it and dodged it, but now my attention was focused on the gruesome wound on my mother's neck. By the time I noticed the bullet, it was too late.

puff!

I fell to the ground, but I didn't feel any pain until I hit the ground with a thud. Then, I felt an excruciating pain in my right knee.

"Ok!"

Suppressing my pain, I looked towards my right leg. In the instant I turned my head, a dark blue bullet grazed past my face and struck my left thigh.

I saw it. The moment the spinning, dark blue bullet pierced my thigh, my thigh swelled up completely, and then it exploded like a bomb.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew apart, and a red mist of blood rose high into the air.

"Ugh... Ahh ...

I finally couldn't help but scream out in agony. The feeling of my flesh being torn into countless pieces in an instant was unbearable for ordinary people. I desperately pounded the floor with my only remaining right hand, trying to vent the pain.

"Gurgle... Ughh ...

A suppressed, desperate cry—that's the sound I let out.

Oh, right, the repair coupon. Use it to repair your body as soon as possible.

The repair voucher... can't be redeemed anymore, because I'm no longer a player.

At that moment, I remembered what Karen Hanamichi had said.

That sniper rifle... it's equipped with seven spread rounds. Five have already been fired, and there are two left. I'll give them to you, Miss Valkyrie.

I'll kill you! I absolutely will kill you! I'll definitely kill you, Hanamichi!

Get up! Get up! Get up and kill Hanamichi Karen! Now is not the time for you to pretend to be asleep!

My vision gradually turned blood red, and the pain gradually disappeared. This was not good news, because my body was gradually slipping out of my control.
