A villainous girl created by paranoia

???

I'm totally baffled. The game details are all clearly written, okay? What are you talking about here?

"What are you talking about? The rules of the game are clearly stated, it's 16 survivors versus 4 killers, how did it become a battle against the rules?"

The question was raised by the swan spirit from the student group, but Hanamichi Karen remained calm in the face of the swan spirit's question.

That's normal. If you hadn't thought of the rest of the lie, you wouldn't have said something like going against the rules. Let me see how you plan to fool this group of people.

"I've said before that I'm an A+ level player. As an A+ level player, I've naturally experienced many missions, and there's one mission in particular."

The game didn't last long; it was a one-on-one battle mode, and the victory condition was to [write the 'correct' name on the blackboard]. At first, we thought the correct name was one of the players' names, so we started searching the small rooms in the game space.

Unfortunately, we didn't find any clues, so I asked the other players to write their names on the blackboard.

The next moment, something amazing happened: the player who wrote down their name suddenly exploded.

Seeing this, the other players were naturally unwilling to continue writing their names on the blackboard, but after my 'persuasion,' those players finally accepted my invitation and went back to write their names on the blackboard.

When the third person's body exploded, I stopped the player who wanted to continue writing his name. I told him that maybe writing the word "correct" would complete the task.

As it turns out, the system does play word games with us. After that player wrote down the word "correct," he successfully completed the task. Other players, including myself, followed suit and wrote the word "correct" on the blackboard.

So, the remaining players successfully left the game. This proves that even in competitive mode, it doesn't always have to be a fight to the death; [Killers] and [Survivors] can sometimes coexist peacefully and ultimately emerge victorious.

None of us interrupted her; we wanted to hear what insightful opinions she had.

"Do you remember the first rule of the game? The player's perceived time is different from the flow of time in the game world."

This is definitely not a favor to us players, but rather a buff to the zombies in this world. I guess the time flow in this game world is more than double, otherwise those zombies would be too weak, and there would be nothing to be afraid of even if they lock onto you.

Secondly, I suggest that [the killers] refrain from holding a kill vote.

Hearing Hanamiya Karen say this, Lily behind her nodded in agreement.

"If the killers don't vote on killing, we survivors can live in peace with you killers. If you do vote, then let's just play the 16v4 battle mode as usual."

After all, killers will always kill, and they'll eventually be caught.

At this moment, Lily, the acknowledged killer who was standing behind Hanamiya Karen, once again stepped forward to make her stance clear.

"Um... I also think that what Hanamiya-neechan said is right, everyone should get along well."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything. Seeing this, Lily could only lower her head in disappointment.

Hanamichi first patted her head in a perfunctory manner before continuing.

"There are still about five minutes left before the teleportation takes place, and I don't have time to explain the rest of the plan. I suggest that after you are teleported, you find an opportunity to return here. If you are willing to trust me then, I will tell you my plan."

I wish you all safety and well-being.

After saying that, Karen Hanamiya stepped down from the flower bed and took Lily's hand, leading her to the side.

Strange, this is so strange, why is no one refuting what Hanamichi said?

Does everyone just agree with what Hanamiya Karen, the suspected killer, said? Or is this bait meant to lure out all the killers before they're satisfied?

No, why must Hanamiya Karen be a killer? Didn't her words sound like those of a survivor?

Perhaps... Karen Hanamiya deliberately revealed her weakness as a 'killer' to lure in other killers.

So... who's fishing for whom? Is the person fishing, or is the fish fishing for the person?

The idea that Hanamichi Karen might not be the killer was abandoned about twenty minutes after I teleported her, because of a system announcement.

--split line--

I probably won't be writing around 5 words every now and then, because I need to prepare some drafts for publication.

Also, to avoid confusion about who player number 16 is, I'd like to remind you that player number 16 is William, the shortest one in the group that gets beaten up.

Chapter Nine: Zombie Virus?

[Shuna's Perspective]

The teleportation was very sudden, without any warning. I was teleported from the square to the middle of the road. The sudden change in scenery made me feel uncomfortable and nauseous, but now was not the time for me to feel nauseous.

I looked at the masters of this land around me, and then tilted my head slightly.

"Ah?"

I have to admit, I really seem to be an unlucky person.

I was teleported into a horde of zombies. The zombies around me were slightly taken aback when they saw me, and then they walked towards me with strange and rapid steps.

As expected, the players' perceived time was slowed down, and the game world did indeed speed up the time of these zombies. I now watch these zombies as if I'm watching a video at double speed.

Looking again at the tattered flag fluttering in the distance... sure enough, it too was accelerated...

How should I put it? The whole world has a strange and comical feel to it.

There were probably over a hundred of those grotesque zombies. To be honest, I was a little scared when over a hundred monsters rushed towards me.

Even I'm afraid... afraid they'll get my clothes dirty.

I clenched my fingers and sniffed the air. Of course, I wasn't sniffing the stench of the zombies, but rather the smell of humans.

There are three people within one kilometer: Sakura (number 10), Jeston (number 14), and William (number 16).

"Hehe, since Mr. William is here, I'll go find him first."

After saying that, I rushed to a zombie and punched it in the abdomen without hesitation.

Bang!

The zombie flew backward like a kite with a broken string. To avoid punching the zombie's body directly, I deliberately held back some of my strength.

The zombie that flew backwards not only flew off on its own, but also knocked down many of its own companions along the way. From God's perspective, it looked like I punched a large group of zombies away.

Swatting away this one zombie wasn't the end of it, after all, there were hundreds of zombies here, and I didn't want to get entangled with them too much, so I charged towards the zombie I had swatted away.

The zombies behind me tried to catch me, but they were clearly no match for my speed.

My current speed is B+ level. My speed isn't much faster than those zombies, who are likely B level.

I'm guessing the current time flow is doubled, so what if it quadruples starting on the fifth day? How fast will the zombies be then? A+? S-rank? Wow, then all the zombies will be superhuman!

So, we must find a place that can withstand the zombies by the fifth day, but now is not the time to discuss that.

I rushed to the zombie I had knocked away and stomped on its head with a flying kick.

Hmm? The zombie's body is surprisingly slippery? It has potential as a skateboarder.

With that in mind, I slid forward for about ten meters, stepping on the zombie's head, knocking away other zombies along the way.

Even so, zombies traveling at double speed are not so easy to get rid of. Another zombie caught up with me from behind, looking like it was about to tear me apart alive.

So I instinctively threw a punch, maybe a bit too hard, and I smashed the zombie's head open.

puff!

I regret it...

My fist pierced right through the zombie's face, and a nauseating mixture of yellow, white, and green liquid splattered everywhere. I didn't use much force; I just didn't expect the zombie's skull to be so fragile.

With a hint of disgust, I pulled my fist out of the zombie's head, but accidentally cut the back of my hand on a piece of bone.

How should I put it? It was an experience that didn't make me happy. I'll wash my hands with Mr. William's blood later.

To avoid a repeat of the previous situation, I only used up to level B power this time.

Although my strength and speed ratings are both S-, my physical fitness rating is so poor that if I were to actually use an S-level strength to throw a punch, my entire arm would probably be ruined.

In addition, monsters with A-level physical attributes are beings I cannot defeat with my bare hands, because my attacks cannot break through their defenses at all, unless I self-harm. If I self-harm, I can give them a little scratch, but that's all I can do.

After knocking away two more zombies, I froze. I... was infected with the virus?

The filamentous unknown virus began to spread, multiply, and proliferate on the back of my hand. Although the spread of these viruses was not fast, they would spread to my whole body within an hour. These viruses were excessively powerful, and all the defense cells in my body were quickly destroyed under the overwhelming attack of these viruses.

No, we can't let these viruses spread any further.

Although I have perfect control over my own body, I can't beat someone if I can't beat them. Just like Zhan Xiaoxiao is no match for Tianzai, she simply can't win.

Without hesitation, while dodging the zombies' attacks, I pulled a dagger from my pocket and plunged it into my right wrist. Then, I used the dagger to make a large cut around my wrist before finally pulling it out.

I thought it would definitely hurt a lot, but I've blocked out pain, so I don't feel any pain now.

I grabbed my right hand with my left and started tearing downwards with force. Watching the flesh being ripped apart, my legs trembled a little, and I almost bumped into a zombie.

Even I am afraid when I self-harm.

Bright red blood splattered all over the ground, which made me even more hesitant to continue tearing. Although it didn't hurt, I was still afraid.

After crushing the chaotic emotions in my heart, I used a dagger to cut open the still-connected flesh. I couldn't delay any longer. No one knew if the virus would go berserk at any moment and crawl directly into my arm through this flesh.

After observing the severed right hand against the left for a while, I could see that the skin not covered by blood was rapidly turning white—a white that could only be seen on a corpse. Then, the fingertips of 'my right hand' twitched slightly.

"ah!"

I was really scared. I threw my right hand away with my left hand and dodged another zombie attack. My eyes instinctively looked at my right hand and I found that my right hand was actually crawling towards me on the ground.

"hiss..."

After taking a deep breath, I decided to run away.

These zombies themselves aren't powerful; what's powerful is the virus they carry. I can hardly imagine what I would become if that virus infected my brain.

I'll probably end up like these zombies.

Although there were about a hundred zombies, I didn't need to kill them all. After opening an opening, I ran away without hesitation. There's no shame in running away. Even a great man can bend and stretch. Besides, I'm just a weak woman.

As for me, I naturally ran in the direction of Mr. William.

[Shuna's Perspective]

I am invincible now. No one dares to oppose me. They can only listen to what I say and do as I say. They must follow my lead. Everyone will agree with my killing spree.
