A villainous girl created by paranoia

I scratched my head, feeling a bit awkward, so I circled around her and finally squatted down next to her.

"Are you Zhan Xiaoxiao?"

The girl still did not answer.

"Then tell me, why do you attack humans? People will call you a bad guy for doing that."

"To be honest, I had no idea what was going on. When I woke up, I was being watched."

"Let me tell you, that woman is incredibly powerful. If I hadn't reacted quickly, she would have killed me."

"Go apologize to those humans and tell them you didn't do it on purpose."

Why are you crying? Were you scared by those people?

"timid."

"Look, I've been beaten up thousands of times, and I haven't even cried. Can you be worse off than me?"

"By the way, why did you spread that lava? Wouldn't it be better to live in peace with humans? Why do you have to be hostile to them? Being hostile to them will only get you beaten up."

I squatted down next to the girl and talked to myself, but she didn't respond to me at all.

"Speaking of which, do you think I could destroy you? I'm really curious. If I were Zhan Xiaoxiao, I certainly wouldn't be thinking about destroying you, would I?"

"Ah, let me think... I should say it like this."

"For the peace of this city? Okay, let's say that."

As I spoke, I stood up from beside the girl, and with a casual grab, a long sword made of magma appeared in my hand.

"For the sake of the peace of this city, Xiao Xiao, the super S+ level disaster fighter, please die."

After saying that, I swung my sword down without pausing for a moment.

The knife was swift, severing the girl's neck with little effort. Her head rolled to the side like a ball, and her body fell down naturally.

No? No bleeding? And it didn't turn into a pool of lava?

"What exactly are you? No, you're not a thing."

Just as I was telling a lame joke that even I couldn't laugh at, the girl's severed head moved again. Her empty, lifeless eyes looked at me, her lips parted slightly, and then...

"Aa ...

The piercing scream made me instinctively cover my ears, but thankfully the girl's scream only lasted for a moment.

Then when I looked at the girl's head again, I noticed something strange: grass was growing on her head.

No, it's plant shoots that have sprouted, and the head looks more like a seed.

At the same time, the girl's body made a new movement; the headless body slowly rose up and walked towards its own head.

This is... a bit like a dream, isn't it?

The body came to the head's side and then gently lifted the head up.

I know it's weird, but that's just how it is.

And then...

Pfft!

Suddenly, countless thick plant roots sprouted from the girl's head. These roots easily pierced through her body, constricting her into various shapes that challenged the limits of human endurance.

And then...

Before I could continue watching, my body felt a powerful repulsive force. Just as I was about to resist, I was thrown out of the lava by that enormous force.

The moment I flew out of the lava, I knew I was doomed, because if I did, I would be instantly killed by concentrated fire.

But...no...

Everyone acted as if they didn't see me, and my body easily passed through the birdman's body without any hindrance.

Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Why? What happened?

Before I could even feel confused, I suddenly realized that my connection with the magma had disappeared, and my power was gradually fading away.

As my power dissipated, my body began to shrink, and my four-dimensional rating plummeted. Countless memories flooded my mind, and the sheer volume of information nearly caused my head to explode. But I couldn't scream or wail, because I didn't even have the strength to scream anymore.

I remembered. Faced with the falling pillar of fire, I had to find my parents. I didn't know what to do in this situation, so I could only go find my parents first.

I remembered. Facing the falling pillar of fire, I had to get my crutch first, otherwise my legs would definitely not be able to support me. I had to find my crutch.

I remember now. When faced with the falling pillar of fire, I need to evacuate the screaming crowd. Otherwise, chaos will ensue, and a stampede will occur.

I remembered, facing the falling pillar of fire, I remembered so many things.

I am a child, I am an elderly person, I am a man, I am a woman, I am a disabled person, I am an office worker, I am a corporate executive, I am the chairman of a listed company, I am a student, I am a teacher, I am a doctor, I am a police officer, I am a firefighter.

I am one of those people I have never played before. I wake up in the early hours of the morning and, faced with a sudden disaster, I can only try my best to escape.

but...

Despair, all I face is despair.

The pillar of fire finally crashed down. I couldn't escape, I couldn't escape anymore, but I still had to run, even if it broke my legs, I had to run. What if... what if I managed to escape?

But... I couldn't escape...

I was burned to ashes by the flames, my soul consumed along with them.

The souls that were burned to ashes were then swallowed by a monster engulfed in red flames, and fragments of memory shattered everything the monster possessed.

Who am I? I...

I am not myself! I am not Zhan Xiaoxiao!

I once thought I was Zhan Xiaoxiao's Demon Flame Body, but I wasn't. When the Demon Flame Body began to devour those memories, it was already shattered!

And I am the one controlling the magma? But who am I?

I live in this city! I am the one who should protect this city! This is my home!

And that Zhan Xiaoxiao... that Zhan Xiaoxiao is the real Zhan Xiaoxiao! She is the real Zhan Xiaoxiao!

I...I was nothing from the very beginning! I was arrogant from the very beginning!

Look at all the stupid things I've done!

Lying amidst the ruins, I stared blankly at the enormous flower of fire.

......

......

......

Time slightly rewinds...

"So it seems like we humans have a great advantage...?"

In the end, I had to change my tone to one of doubt, because I didn't believe it, I didn't believe that humanity would win so easily.

This disaster has risen from A+ to Super S+, and it seems that it is not impossible for it to be upgraded again to become a pseudo-natural disaster.

"What, Mayor? Do you still have any doubts about this?"

The one who asked me the question was a little girl with long blue hair and a very sweet and lovely appearance. She is Yu Ling, the city's municipal-level artificial intelligence, and also my assistant.

Well, let's not talk about Yu Ling for now. Looking at the reflection in the glass, I pouted a little unhappily.

The reflection in the glass projected the images of two little girls, one was Yu Ling... and the other... was me.

I'm speechless about my size, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm a dwarf, and I'm naturally short.

As for the question Yu Ling raised, I could only sigh helplessly.

"I don't have any doubts, but I just feel that this disaster won't be resolved so easily."

"Mayor, please rest assured, according to Yu Ling's calculations, with the combat power we have deployed now, our chances of winning are... 0.05%?"

For a moment, Yu Ling and I both fell silent...

Yu Ling tilted her head in confusion, then her expression gradually turned to horror.

"What's wrong, Yu Ling?"

"Yu Ling detected an unidentified high-energy reaction at the very center of the magma. Although Yu Ling doesn't know what it is, but..."

As she spoke, Yu Ling made an exaggerated explosion gesture.

"If that high-energy reaction were to be fully released, the entire city of Jade Zero would probably be blown to smithereens. And less than two percent of the soldiers fighting the disaster would survive."

Hearing Yu Ling say that, my heart sank. When I came to my senses, I hurriedly gave Yu Ling the order.

"Quickly! Yu Ling! Notify them! Retreat immediately!"

But Yu Ling did not follow my instructions and shook her head instead.

"No, Mayor, I just notified them, but they all refused."

Even if they were told about the high-energy reaction?

"They said they would handle that so-called high-energy reaction."

I grabbed my two drill-shaped pigtails in frustration. Sometimes I wonder if constantly pulling on them will turn them into smooth, straight hair.

But in fact, I've been making this up for over a decade, and those two drills still do their own thing.

"Can't these idiots just give me a break? I really should..."

"It's ok."

Just then, a clear, cold female voice interrupted me.

Turning my head, I saw the delicate figure hidden in the shadows.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't anyone there just now.

She was a slender young girl with long, snow-white hair and a flawless, beautiful face. Her white dress made the girl with her eyes closed look ethereal. In her arms, she held a simple longsword with the words "Yingxue Gift to a Friend" engraved on its scabbard. However, the words on the scabbard were worn and difficult to decipher, but they were not simple either.

As for why I can see so clearly, it's all thanks to my affinity for darkness.

I dared not say anything about the girl interrupting me. Normally, if someone interrupted me, I would definitely yell back, but with this girl... I dared not speak, because I recognized her.
