A villainous girl created by paranoia

"Are you trying to say that you're just lava?"

The officer was annoyed that Hanamiya Karen had interrupted him again, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Then... sir, let me ask you another question: what do you think defines a human being?"

"this..."

The police officer was unable to answer Hanamichi Karen's question for a moment, and could only stammer, unable to answer anything for a long time.

"A human being should have independent thinking, rich emotions, and a normal physical body."

The one who answered Hanamichi Karen was not the stammering police officer, but another tall female police officer. That officer walked to the front of all the police officers, then crossed her arms and looked at Hanamichi Karen with a half-smile.

"I am Jiang Beibei, the leader of the third group of the data section of the central police station in Yuling City. And you are, young lady?"

Hanamichi Karen was slightly taken aback by Jiang Beibei's sudden self-introduction, and then followed Jiang Beibei's words to begin her own self-introduction.

"I'm just a mere first-year high school student, nothing to brag about."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beibei gave a cold laugh and then said calmly.

"I didn't ask you that, I was asking for your name."

Upon hearing Jiang Beibei's words, Hua Gong's pitiful expression froze for a moment, and then she naturally uttered her name.

"Hanamiya Karen, my name is Hanamiya Karen."

Immediately afterward, before Jiang Beibei could speak, Hanamichi Karen spoke up.

"So, is what Ms. Jiang Beibei just described the 'person' you think of? I believe we all possess these three qualities."

We have independent thinking; we can act, communicate, and think.

We know who we are, we have our own memories, and we have our own unique way of thinking.

We have a rich array of emotions; we can be happy, angry, or sad.

We too have our own joys and sorrows. When trapped under rubble, we feel despair and panic; when rescued, we feel genuine joy.

We have normal physical bodies; we get tired, we feel pain, and we die.

Although our bodies are made of magma, as you can see…

As she spoke, Hanamiya Karen stretched out her scarred hands and then pointed to a pool of lava beside her.

"Our bodies can get injured just like our bodies, and we can die just like everyone else. We are no different from ordinary people."

Snap... Snap... Snap...

A weak clapping sound...

The person clapping was none other than Jiang Beibei.

"A decent debate, but it has nothing to do with me. The way they steered the conversation was clumsy, but it was effective. The words were excellent, but that's about it."

To put it simply, you're just a substandard, incongruous product. I have that girl's information; I know exactly what kind of person she is. Did you mimic her four-dimensional rating along with her when you were mimicking her?"

"I..."

Before Hua Gong Ke Lian could finish speaking, Jiang Bei Bei raised her hand to interrupt her. Finally, Hua Gong Ke Lian also realized the pain of being interrupted.

“You don’t need to say anything, because it’s pointless. No matter how much you try to explain, it won’t change anything. Even if you are recognized as a new race, we will still drive you back into the lava.”

"Why, why can't you treat us as real human beings?"

"You are not even human beings, so what right do you have to talk about human rights?"

"The undead are also a race that brings the dead back to life. Why can the undead be recognized, but we cannot?"

"Didn't I say that even if you gain everyone's recognition and are recognized as an independent race, we will still drive you back to the Rock?"

"Why? I don't understand, are we really that damned?"

“Yes, you absolutely deserve to die because you caused so many innocent people to die in this city. For those who died, you deserve to die.”

Hanamichi Kanna almost laughed, really almost laughed. Good heavens, this is really for you who have already died, so you can go die again?

“Miss Jiang Beibei, that’s not how you put it. Aren’t we still here? We’re still alive, our memories are still there, and we’re still ourselves. Nothing has changed except our bodies, isn’t that right?”

"Yes, nothing has changed for you, but for us, we cannot accept your existence because you are hostile to us."

"No, Miss Jiang Beibei, we have no hostility towards you, we have not harmed you, right?"

"Although you haven't done anything to harm us, it doesn't mean we'll easily trust you. There's no doubt that you're disguised as victims with your own agenda. We don't care what your agenda is, because what we want to do is prevent you from achieving your goal and send you back into the lava."

"us..."

Without giving Hua Gong Ke Lian a chance to explain, Jiang Beibei interrupted Hua Gong Ke Lian's explanation again.

"No explanation or clarification is needed, because no matter how you argue, it is an objective fact that you pretended to be victims, and this behavior undoubtedly carries a strong common purpose, which we can directly understand as hostility."

"That matter..."

"So you don't need to explain, because your explanation is meaningless to us. Your hostility is an objective fact."

Isn't that amazing? Hanamichi Karen initially wanted to avoid the question of pretending to be a victim, but now she's eager to answer it, while Jiang Beibei isn't giving her the chance.

"Ms. Jiang Beibei! That's sophistry!"

"No, your explanation is sophistry."

Hua Gong was speechless, because Jiang Beibei's remarks were simply too domineering and unreasonable.

This is clearly leaving no room for maneuver; they're just pointing at the lava and telling you to jump in.

"Why..."

Hua Gong clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, looking like she had reached her limit of endurance. Then she suddenly looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and stared at Jiang Beibei.

Why won't you give us a way to survive?

Seeing this, Jiang Beibei snorted coldly, and then continued to speak.

“Because you have angered this city, and angered the country of Animbedo, you do not deserve to live.”

"No! We just want to find our place to belong!"

Bang!

A bullet emitting a dark red glow grazed Hanamiya's pitiful cheek and blew up Kenji Toujou's head behind her.

"A place to call home? I can give you one; bullets and artillery are your best place to call home."

--split line--

Stop cursing. This Hanamichi Karen isn't the real Shuna, so she's been weakened several times over. The real Shuna could shut Jiang Beibei up completely.

Moreover, this Hanamichi Karen isn't very polite either. You should know that Shuna's family rules are very strict. Shuna will introduce herself before speaking, Shuna will not interrupt others, and Shuna will not yell.

A fake is still a fake. This Hanamichi Karen is from Toujou Kenji's memories. His impression of Hanamichi Karen is not that comprehensive, so he came up with this incongruous version.

Oh, right, about the extra chapters...

Hmm, I'll be featured next week, and I plan to start a limited-time bonus chapter event when I'm featured.

One extra chapter for every 10000 Fire Coins or 100 Monthly Tickets accumulated, guaranteeing at least 4000 words and definitely high-quality chapters.

I know this price might be a bit high, but...but...

To be honest, I was actually really hoping this bonus chapter event would fall through! Yes! I'm that shameless!

Actually, I'm looking forward to it whether there are more chapters or not.

Because if I don't update more, I can continue being a lazy bum! And I can still guarantee the quality of my daily updates.

If I add more chapters, I can't play games anymore, because games will affect my hand while typing and make the chapters boring and uninteresting.

Take today's chapter, for example—it's terrible! Absolutely terrible! It made me feel nauseous! The reason is that my mind is completely occupied with playing games, making it impossible for me to concentrate on writing.

I won't play games anymore until I finish writing today's chapter, because the impact is just too great.

Also, let's do a poll here. It's almost Chinese New Year, right? Do you want to watch the New Year special episode or continue the main story? You can vote in the comments section!

Chapter Forty: The Police Officers

A bullet emitting a dark red glow grazed Hanamiya's pitiful cheek and blew up Kenji Toujou's head behind her.

"A place to call home? I can give you one; bullets and artillery are your best place to call home."

The person who said those words was not Jiang Beibei, but a middle-aged man in a black military uniform. The man had a hideous scar that ran across his entire face, and the epaulettes on his left shoulder indicated that he was a major general. The pistol he was holding in his right hand was still smoking, and it was clear that he was the one who had fired the shot.

At this moment, the police officers surrounding the lava people made way, and a large number of soldiers wearing camouflage combat uniforms, bulletproof helmets, and carrying automatic rifles marched in orderly steps to the back of the middle-aged major general.

The sheer density of the crowd made it seem as if the formation alone numbered over ten thousand.

A leading sergeant, holding an automatic rifle, stood tall and spoke.

"Report! The Army Assault Brigade under the Yuling City Garrison, totaling 7,500 men, has completed assembly!"

The middle-aged major general nodded, then gave the order to command.

"Surround them."

With a command from the middle-aged major general, the soldiers behind him formed a fan shape and surrounded the lava men. As for the police officers? They were pushed to some unknown place by the soldiers.

After completing the encirclement, the major general issued another extremely bloody and cruel order.

"Raise your gun and shoot."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers raised their automatic rifles and aimed them at the lava people in front of them.

The lava people were quite frightened by this commotion and hurriedly retreated, but before they could take a few steps back, the automatic rifles in the soldiers' hands spewed out orange flames.

Da da da da da da da da da da...

The dense barrage of penetrating bullets formed an impenetrable bullet net, and any lava man caught in the net would be mercilessly shot to death by the penetrating bullets.

Upon hearing the gunshots, the police officers rushed forward to stop them. They only wanted to drive those people back into the lava; they never intended to kill those...those people who were no different from ordinary people.

Hearing the agonizing screams and pleas for mercy from those lava people, no police officer could remain unmoved, for these were people they had once saved!
