A villainous girl created by paranoia

The task rules are very information-intensive, so they take a long time to process. I've been thinking about these few broken rules for several hours.

Chapter Seven: Self-Introduction?

[Shuna's Perspective]

Pop, pop, pop.

I clapped my hands, attracting everyone's attention, and under Lily's puzzled gaze, I stood on a flower bed.

I looked down at the players who were staring at me and smiled slightly.

"Gentlemen, may I have something to say to you?"

No one spoke, but they all looked at me, as if they wanted to hear what I had to say, so I began my speech.

"I think instead of each of us discussing our own things, we should gather together and start by giving a brief self-introduction."

My name is Hanamiya Karen, I'm a student, and my draw number was 1. My role is a survivor.

"..."

There was silence in the crowd; it seemed no one wanted to reveal their family background. However, I didn't feel embarrassed, because they still had to introduce themselves.

Lily first looked at me with confusion, then at the silent crowd, and then hesitantly raised her hand. Seeing her raised hand, many people turned their attention to her.

With so many people watching, Lily seemed to become even more shy, but she still mustered up her courage and spoke.

"Um! I'm Lily! I'm also a student... My number was 15, and my identity is..."

At this point, Lily glanced at me, and I shrugged indifferently at her. Lily then lowered her head and began to hesitate.

"I am...I am..."

I could see that her cheeks were covered in a fine layer of sweat. Finally, she suddenly looked up and said firmly.

"My identity is [the Killer]!"

Upon hearing this, many people stared in disbelief, their expressions wide with astonishment. At the same time, I noticed some people's lips twitching uncontrollably, probably because they felt they had such an idiotic teammate.

After revealing her identity, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, but I sighed helplessly.

"You silly child, didn't I tell you? Your identity must be kept secret."

As if she heard my voice, Lily turned to look at me and said firmly.

"Sister Huagong, I don't want to lie. Grandpa told me to be honest."

I sighed again, feeling helpless, and addressed the others.

“You heard right, this child is a killer, but I assure you, this child will not do bad things.”

"puff..."

This was a sneer from a bronze-skinned young man among the four who had been beaten up.

I smiled and looked over there, and the young man immediately shut his mouth.

"Well, well, well, even a child is so honest, we can't fall behind."

The one who made that sound was a boy with medium-length flaxen hair in the student group. His words undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. He smiled heartily at the other players and then pointed to his chest with his thumb.

"I am a student, and my name is... you can just call me Sheng if you like. My number is 9, and my identity is [Survivor]. As a newbie to the game, I am still very inexperienced, and I hope everyone will take good care of me."

"Sigh, you rascal..."

The blond boy next to him, who had no expression, sighed helplessly and then began to introduce himself as well.

"Ling, student, number 8, survivor."

Seeing this, the girl with short, cherry-blossom-colored hair among the three students also began to introduce herself, just like her companions.

"My name is Sakura, I'm 17 years old, and like the other two, I'm a student. My draw number is 10, and my identity... is a survivor."

The blonde girl with wavy hair, the last member of the group of four, didn't speak. Instead, she sat on a large rock, her neck tilted back, like a proud swan. Seeing the blonde girl like this, Sakura quickly explained to the others.

"This is Ms. Aurora, a contracted idol with Agency 832. Her draw number is..."

At this point, Sakura couldn't continue, because how could she possibly know Aurora's serial number?

Aurora knew that Sakura couldn't possibly know her serial number, so she didn't intend to make things difficult for her.

She opened her eyes, stood up from the stone, and answered succinctly.

"Number 6, is a survivor."

After saying that, Aurora tossed her long golden hair, then sat back on the big rock, tilting her head back, closing her eyes, and continuing to be her great swan.

With that, the four students finished their self-introductions, and the square fell into a brief silence once again.

"Cough cough..."

A soft cough broke the awkward atmosphere in the square, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Sile.

Wang Sile smiled at everyone.

"My name is Wang Nianyue, I am a music conductor, my number is 17, and my identity is a survivor."

After saying that, Wang Sile looked at me again, as if to say, "I will still give Miss Hua Gong face."

It's understandable that Wang Sile uses a pseudonym, since he is a real celebrity and the youngest disciple of Tianzai. Isn't that a title easy to remember?

And Aurora? Sorry, I know this is rude, but I really don't know anyone named Aurora.

Following Wang Sile, members of the other groups also began to introduce themselves.

The first to introduce themselves was Shiro's group. She just glanced at me like a stranger and then began a brief self-introduction.

"Chief Bai, narcotics police officer, serial number 19, identity is survivor."

Immediately afterward, the woman in the OL uniform next to Shiro gave a somewhat lazy reply.

"Philis, just an ordinary office worker, number 20, a survivor. Also, please don't chat with me unless you have something to do, because I'm just a lazy dog."

Then there was the young man who was always smiling.

"It's my turn. Nice to meet you all. My name is Ye, I'm a medical student, my number is 13, and I'm a survivor. If you have any injuries, you can come to me."

In the end, only the young man with glasses remained in the group. He wore a pair of flat-rimmed glasses and looked extremely rational.

“Jesston is a detective, number 14, and his identity is a survivor.”

After the group finished their self-introductions, it was the turn of the five-person group. The couple was the first to introduce themselves.

“My name is Hardman, I am an elementary school math teacher, my number is 12, and my role is a survivor. This is my wife.”

The woman standing next to Hardman nodded and then began to introduce herself.

"My name is Lin Sou, I am an elementary school English teacher, my number is 11, and I am also a survivor."

After the couple was introduced, it was time for the best friends holding hands. The woman with short black hair was the first to be introduced.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Zhu Yuxia, and I am an employee of Harvey Technology. My number is 5, and my role is a survivor."

At this moment, another woman holding her hand leaned lazily on Zhu Yuxia's shoulder and introduced the situation listlessly.

"Number 3, Survivor, Murakami Amemura, is Yuxia-chan's husband."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuxia pushed away Murakami Amemo, who was leaning on her shoulder, with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and said coquettishly.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"I'm not lying, you are my wife!"

As he spoke, Murakami Amemoku grabbed Zhu Yuxia's hands and gazed at her with deep affection.

"Honey, let's go back to our hometown and get married after we finish this game."

"Go away! Don't say such unlucky things!"

After ignoring the two lovely ladies who were in the prime of their youth, it was finally the turn of the bespectacled, intellectual woman in the group of five to introduce herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tivel, my number is 2, and I'm a slime~"

Slimes? That's a truly terrifying race, but thankfully her name isn't Rimuru.

Finally, it was the turn of the four who had gotten beaten up to introduce themselves, but they seemed unwilling to cooperate. They just huddled together, giving me a series of cold laughs, as if to say, 'What can you do to me?'

"Hmm, let me think. I remember that rule number seven of the mission rules says that you can't kill two or more people, but it doesn't seem to say that you can't maim someone, right?"

Upon hearing this, the four who had been beaten up stopped laughing and began to introduce themselves honestly.

"Justin, number 4, is a civilian."

???

You've been playing too much Werewolf, haven't you? But the rules of this task are indeed somewhat similar to those of Werewolf.

The guy with the braided hair was the one who introduced himself like that. Even now, he still looks at me with a malicious glint in his eye from time to time. I guess this is what they call "forgetting the lesson after being taught a lesson."

"Jamie, number 7, is a good person."

Are you there? Should I give you a "friend zone" card?

This self-introduction that makes you want to complain came from that bronze-skinned young man.

"William, number 16, survivor, you can just call me Uncle William."

William was the shortest of the four, and he had a pointed, monkey-like appearance.

"Zhao Botian, Zhao as in Zhao Qian Sun Li, Bo as in gambling, Tian as in the sky, number 18, is a survivor."

After saying that, Zhao Botian glanced at me furtively, but quickly looked away.

Finally, everyone finished introducing themselves.

I don't know how you observed me—was it through video? Audio? Or text? Let's assume you observed me through text.

Now, I will organize everyone's information for you, so that you can remember who is who.

Number 1 is me, poor Hanamichi.

Number 2 is Tivelle, the slime who wears a beige dress, glasses, and has the air of an intellectual older sister. Based on more than three games, she is a member of the five-person group.

Number 3 is Murakami Amemura, the woman holding up the flag. She has long black hair and is presumably a newbie. She is one of the two best friends in the group of five.
