A villainous girl created by paranoia

"Hmm? Could it be self-repairing?"

So I went to those stinking chunks of meat and waited for their next move.

Unexpectedly, the chunks of meat did not merge together, but instead moved towards me.

"A desire for life? That would indicate it is hostile."

If it were a living being, I could tell if it was hostile just by being stared at by it, but these two 'undead' can no longer be considered living beings.

Finally, the pieces of meat moved only a couple of steps before stopping, seemingly completely dead. I ignored them and continued walking towards the meeting point.

Ten minutes later, I arrived at the meeting point. It wasn't because the road was long, but because I saw many interesting things along the way. I saw many 'undead', let's call them mutated undead for now.

Besides those mutated undead, I also saw traces of human activity. The traces were very recent, indicating that humans had definitely been in that area within five minutes. However... I couldn't smell any living beings within a kilometer.

This is strange, and this phenomenon reminds me of the red world I saw in the zoo.

My exiting and re-entering the game world can affect the game world, which means that the player in this game has the highest level of authority, or at least the authority to influence the game world.

Well, I'm going to have a problem.

As you gaze at me, what do you think this world will be like without us players?

The mutated undead were clearly hostile to me, a living person, but they lacked reason. So, their actions were driven by instinct. What kind of instinct would drive them to attack a living person?

Where birds fly, there will be insects; where there is prey, there will surely be hunters.

The mutated undead's instinct towards living people is appetite; simply put, this group of mutated undead is very likely to eat living people.

Since those mutated undead eat living people and roam around the area, it proves that there are people gathered in this area, and they are not players like us, but local natives of this world.

Well, putting those trivial matters aside, it seems I've run into some trouble.

Nineteen pairs of eyes were cast my way, some of which were clearly malicious.

I can guess that these nineteen people are the players in this mission, and one of them is an acquaintance of mine, namely Chief Commander Bai from the Criminal Division of the Central Police Station in Yuling City.

She looked at me, paused for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

After making sure no one was looking at her, I chose to ignore her.

I'm sorry, Ms. Bai, but I can't attend to you because of my upcoming plans.

"So slow! Are you happy to make everyone wait?"

The one making this complaint was a blonde, wavy-haired girl wearing a gorgeous performance dress that clashed completely with the surrounding ruins.

By the way, we are currently in a square, which is a relatively well-known place in Fenhua District and is a small tourist attraction.

This square is called Fenhua Square. All kinds of beautiful flowers are planted around the square. When summer comes, all kinds of bright flowers will bloom at the same time. Chun once wrote in her diary that she liked the feeling here.

Indeed, one can imagine the scene: a garden square with a natural feel appearing in the oppressive steel jungle. Who could dislike it?

However, this garden square has now become a ruin. The neglected flowers have long since turned into a pile of withered weeds. If we're talking about flowers, there are indeed flowers in this garden, flowers with black bloodstains left by blood splattered on the ground.

How many places in this world have become like this, and what are the reasons that have led to this situation?

"Hey~"

An impolite whistle.

I looked at the person whistling at me. It was a man standing in the center of the small group of four. His brown hair was braided into several pigtails, and his bare upper body was tattooed with a ferocious dragon. A malicious smile appeared on his evil-looking face.

"Hey little girl~ Are you alone? Want to come over to our side? We'll make you feel amazing~"

I smiled and nodded at the man, then slowly walked towards him.

Seeing this, the man with the somewhat villainous look rubbed his hands together excitedly, his smile becoming even more malicious.

Before long, I arrived at his side and began to speak.

"Hello, sir, I'm here to say something to you."

The man was still excitedly rubbing his hands together, his eyes brazenly scanning my body.

"Say whatever you want, I'll listen to anything you say."

I smiled, then suddenly lunged forward and stood in front of him, ignoring his astonished expression, I grabbed his big face.

boom!

I slammed his head into the ground with such force that it even cracked the ground slightly.

While he was still in a daze, I flashed to the side of another man next to him and kicked him away. Then, I went to the side of two other men, grabbed them by the neck with one hand in each hand, and slammed them to the ground. After doing all this, I leisurely walked to the side of the man with the braided hair.

It all happened so fast, it only took me three seconds. The man was still completely bewildered, but I didn't care whether he was bewildered or not.

His right foot, clad in a boot, slammed heavily onto his chest with a dull thud.

In that instant, his eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened into an "O" shape, as if he wanted to vomit something but couldn't, looking extremely painful.

But what do I care about the suffering of others?

I placed my right hand on my right leg, my smile long since turning into a cold expression. My smile and courtesy are reserved for people, not for corpses. I looked down at her and said in an icy tone.

"You're just a newbie. If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut."

After saying that, I ignored the braided man who was still in a state of shock and confusion, and walked towards the blonde girl with wavy hair in a performance costume.

The girl saw me walking towards her, instinctively took two steps back, and then accidentally tripped over a stone behind her, falling flat on her backside.

I ignored her embarrassing moment and continued walking towards her.

"What are you doing?!"

That's really funny, this guy.

I gave her a slight smile and then extended my hand to her.

"Miss, the ground is cold, please get up."

Upon hearing this, the girl was taken aback at first, then a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her gaze involuntarily shifted to the side, but she still held my hand.

With a little effort, I pulled her up from the ground.

After getting up, the blonde girl silently began brushing the dust off her skirt, while I bowed apologetically to her.

"Miss, I am truly sorry for being late, but it was not my intention. I encountered some mutated undead on the way, which is why I was late. I am so sorry for taking up your time."

After hearing my apology, the girl glanced at me first, and then I felt her cheeks seemed to turn even redder.

"Hmph...Hmph! It's good that you know you were wrong!"

After saying that, she crossed her arms and walked away with an arrogant air, but she would occasionally steal glances at me.

Ah, what an interesting woman.

Thinking this, I turned to look at another person.

She was an intellectual beauty with long, glossy black hair, wearing a beige dress and a pair of flat-framed glasses.

When she saw me looking at her, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded at me. I nodded back in return.

Okay, these are the six people. Let's find an opportunity to kill them all.

The four men and the two women all cast hostile glances my way, and even now, the malice of those six people is still fixed on me.

I don't know what their motives were for maliciously targeting me, but...

In this game world where there are no laws, if you harbor ill will towards me, I will make you suffer a terrible death.

--split line--

I originally planned to run extra chapters regularly, but... I might be releasing it for sale soon... Maybe! Maybe! It's not certain if it will actually happen!

So, I need to start writing my drafts now, and the bonus chapter event will be temporarily suspended. But I will definitely make up for the bonus chapters. There are still two bonus chapters to make up for: one is the bonus chapter for the book review of Night Rain and Annoyance, and the other is the bonus chapter to make up for the leave I took the day before yesterday.

There will be one more update today.

Chapter Five: The Musician?

[Shuna's Perspective]

Let me confirm the current situation. There are 20 people in this square, including myself.

The four men I hit were probably together; apart from those four, most of the others had also formed a small group.

The largest group was a small team of five: four women and one man. The man and woman holding hands were probably a married couple, as they both had rings on their ring fingers. The two women holding hands... were they probably best friends? Finally, the fifth person in this group was the bespectacled woman I had already decided to kill.

The woman with glasses didn't seem to originally belong to the group; you could tell from her deliberately fake smile. Although to others her expression seemed natural, but...

I, Shunagate, am a master of fake smiles. I can tell at a glance whether she's faking a smile, pretending to smile, or if her smile is unnatural.

I could tell you were faking a smile right away!

Next was a four-person team, with two boys and one girl all wearing the same school uniform. I remember the style of that school uniform was from Liuyin Xunguang Private High School, and the fourth person in this team was the blonde girl with wavy hair.

The way the four of them got along... well, it was a bit subtle. All three seemed to obey the girl's every command without complaint, even when she was bossed around.

Next up was another group of four, two women and two men. Among them was Shiro Souji, an acquaintance from the police station. Next to her stood a woman dressed in office attire who looked rather lazy. Judging from the close distance between them, it was clear that the two were good friends.

The two men opposite them were both very young; if they weren't not wearing uniforms, I would have thought they were students too.

The two men didn't seem to know each other. You could tell from their positions: the bespectacled young man was left-handed, and he was making some strange gestures with his left hand while explaining something to the two women. The other man was standing to the left of the bespectacled young man.

If you have a left-handed friend, you certainly wouldn't instinctively stand to his left.

Finally, there were the lone wolves, one of whom was a middle-aged man with graying temples. He was not yet old, and his physique was definitely stronger than anyone else's. Beneath his tuxedo were explosive muscles.

At that moment, he pulled out a... conductor's baton? The kind used for conducting music.

The middle-aged man, whose temples were already gray, first took out a pure white handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the baton. Then he took a deep breath, and then he grasped the command post with his right fingertips while raising his left hand slightly.

He stood tall and steady, his shoulder muscles relaxed to their fullest extent. His current appearance gave me a strange feeling, which was... stability? Yes, stability. If he were to conduct a concert, even the audience's hearts would be in sync with his beat.

What is he doing? Is he going to conduct a music concert?

The moment this thought crossed my mind, he began conducting the music.

His conducting was very smooth, without exaggeration or unnecessary movements; his precise demeanor made it seem as if he were truly conducting a piece of music.

But there are no musical instruments in this square, so what is he conducting?

I closed my eyes and began to listen to the music being conducted by this middle-aged man...
