A villainous girl created by paranoia

After gently wiping the blood from my cheek with my thumb, I stood up from William's body. I didn't turn around, but just looked straight ahead and said.

"Sir, I think you should come out now."

As I finished speaking, Jeston emerged from the shadows.

I turned to look at Jeston, who had no expression on his face, and gave him a cruel smile.

"Sir, aren't you afraid I'll kill you too?"

Jeston pushed up his glasses with his left hand and said calmly.

"No, because you've already killed a player."

"The rules don't say you can't cripple a player, nor do they say you can't feed a crippled player to zombies."

"You won't do that, because you're just trying to scare me."

"Miss Hanamiya, let's have a good talk. I'm your companion."

Upon hearing this, I composed myself and transformed my smile into a very approachable one.

"Oh, sir, how do you intend to talk to me? And what will the conversation be about?"

"Miss Hanamiya, you're a smart woman. You know our situation with the Killers is very unfavorable. Leaving aside Number 15, who's already completely exposed, even you are highly suspicious. And now that you've just killed William, your suspicion is even greater. You..."

Why are you looking at me like that?

While making strange gestures with his left hand, Jeston explained to me with a serious expression. However, when he saw my expression, he immediately stopped explaining and looked at me with a puzzled look.

What expression do I have right now? Probably an innocent look mixed with a bit of grievance.

“Um, sir, I didn’t mean to kill Mr. William.”

Jeston raised an eyebrow.

“I’ve been hiding over there the whole time, and I’ve seen everything you’ve done.”

I casually slipped my hands into the pockets of my skirt.

“Mr. William tried to assault me, and I acted in self-defense, but I went too far.”

This time, Jeston's face twitched; he had probably never seen such a shameless person before.

"No one will believe your reason. Make up a better one."

I shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

“I’m not lying, sir. Everything I said is true, it’s just that you don’t believe me.”

"I don't believe you! We're both killers, there's no need for us to play games."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. How could this person be spouting such nonsense and making baseless accusations?

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. It was clearly Mr. William who tried to assault me, and I acted in self-defense. I only killed Mr. William by accident."

Upon hearing what I said, Jeston looked enlightened and nodded.

"I see. Perhaps I blinked and accidentally missed that scene. Since that's the case, I can testify for you that you did indeed kill William accidentally. However... regarding the system announcement about 'beating to death'..."

"I only punched him twice, I didn't hold back."

After I finished speaking, I tapped my head with the part of my fist that wasn't stained with blood.

"Hehe~"

"Hey, what the hell!"

"It seems they've run out of options with me," Jeston said, adjusting his glasses with a serious expression.

"The killers are really at a disadvantage now. Number 15 has been completely exposed. Originally, if you hadn't killed anyone, according to your plan, the survivors and killers could have coexisted peacefully until tomorrow.

But you killed someone, you suspected killer, you killed someone, and you were the one who proposed peaceful coexistence, so, as...”

"Wait a moment."

I interrupted Jeston, who was about to continue, even though I know it was rude, but I really couldn't listen to him anymore.

"Sir, why are you so certain that I am a killer?"

"You killed someone, this is the best evidence."

"But didn't I say that killing Mr. William was merely an overreaction in self-defense?"

Jeston frowned, seemingly quite disgusted by my feigned madness.

"Everyone heard the slip of the tongue you made before the teleportation, and now everyone suspects you are the killer."

"A slip of the tongue? What slip of the tongue?"

"I remember you said something like, 'Everyone has finished introducing themselves, it seems we've established initial trust. Although it's a bit strange that there are 18 survivors in the room, it won't affect our discussion.'"

Your comment about 18 survivors already makes people suspect you're the killer. If you don't do something, you or player number 15 could easily be voted out.

I just shook my head helplessly at what Jeston said, and replied in a way that was irrelevant.

"Mr. Jeston, when do you think we killers should kill?"

"You were too reckless. You shouldn't have killed anyone at this time. The purpose of this game is not to make the killers kill each other, but to make the killers incite the survivors to kill each other."

Upon hearing this, I closed my eyes and sighed deeply.

Do you believe that killers and survivors cannot coexist peacefully?

"Your plan? To be honest, I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to agree to your plan."

After a pause, Jesston continued.

"Except for the 15th, of course."

I sighed again and said to Jeston in a low voice.

"Sir, are you really a killer?"

"Why don't you believe me now? If I weren't a killer, why would I be here and say so much to you?"

"Ugh..."

With a sigh, I took a voice recorder out of my pocket with some disappointment.

"It seems you're not willing to get along with us survivors."

After I finished speaking, I turned off the recording function of the recorder and put it back in my pocket under Jeston's dazed gaze.

"Sir, I was actually fishing. I thought no one would bite the bait, but you've taken the bait."

After saying that, I charged forward and landed right in front of Jeston, then delivered a merciless punch to his chest.

Bang!

--split line--

Come on, everyone, guess whether Xiu Nai is really fishing this time, or if he sacrificed his teammates to achieve his goal.

Chapter Eleven: Ultimate Self-Destruction?

[Tiveller's Perspective]

About two and a half hours later, I returned to the original meeting point, where the remaining nineteen people also returned.

During my time back here, I encountered quite a few zombies traveling at double speed, but I managed to dodge their attacks without serious injury.

Along the way, I not only encountered several waves of zombies, but I also met Lin Sou from number 11 and Zhao Botian from number 18. We obtained some information from them.

Lin Su suspected that her husband... that is, number 12, Hardman, might be having an affair, she said it was her intuition as a woman.

However, the relationship between the couple may not be as good as it seems on the surface. In fact, judging from Lin Shou's description of her husband, Lin Shou is even somewhat annoyed with him.

This is understandable. The two fell in love freely, and because they were both getting on in years, they got married soon after they started dating, which led them to bury their relationship in the grave.

As someone who's been through it, I know all too well that the mundane realities of daily life and the passage of time can easily erode a relationship. Once you're used to living together day and night, you start to see more of each other's flaws and bad habits than their strengths.

Nobody likes someone with many flaws and bad habits, just like Lin Shu, just like Hardman, and just like me.

As for Zhao Botian, that guy is quite interesting. He wasn't originally a member of the four-man group that got beaten up. When he was killed by Hanamiya Karen on the 16th, Zhao Botian didn't even realize that it was William who died. He only remembered that William was his teammate after I reminded him.

Later, I asked him some questions 'casually', and he quickly gave himself away, saying that he was not a member of the four-man group that got beaten up. He was a lone wolf, but he was afraid of being targeted, so he infiltrated the four-man group before the meeting.

However, none of these things are the most interesting right now. The most interesting thing is what that pitiful little bitch, Hanamichi, is doing right now.

"Is William out of his mind to touch your forehead?!"

The one who uttered those curses was number 4, Justin, the guy with the braided hair. If it weren't for Zhao Botian and Jamie holding him up, he probably would have already rushed up and fought Hua Gong Ke Ke to the death.

Faced with Justin's insults, Hanamichi Karen simply shrugged innocently.

“Sir, as I said, it was Mr. William who tried to assault me, and I killed him in self-defense.”

"Damn it, your family member could beat someone to death with their fists in self-defense?"

"I'm so sorry, sir, perhaps I'm being a bit rude. I've been speaking to you for a while now, and I'm sorry to have been speaking to you so rudely. I'm just trying to explain things to you. I'm sorry to have been speaking to you so rudely, and I'm just trying to explain things to you so rudely!"

Although she claimed that she was out of control of her emotions at the time, there was no panic on Hanamiya's pitiful face now, as if she were saying to everyone, "I killed someone, what can you do to me?"

I have to say, this is the most arrogant killer I've ever seen.

"Screw that overkill! You just want to kill William! I..."

"Well, well, Mr. Justin, please calm down. As a woman, it's not hard to understand why you might lose control of your emotions in that situation."

The first to step forward to defend Hua Gong was number 5, Zhu Yuxia, who seemed to be somewhat willing to act as a peacemaker.

"Bullshit! I think this woman is a killer!"

The room fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Then, some people began to defend Hanamichi Karen.

"What do you bunch of stinky men know? Only girls encounter this kind of thing! Do you think you stinky men would get molested by women? You'd be more happy to be molested by women, wouldn't you?"

The first one to get angry was the swan spirit, who immediately launched a barrage of attacks that were directed at all men.

"Well, that's not what you said, Miss Aurora. Even men feel very uncomfortable when they are molested, so I can understand Miss Hanamiya's overreaction."

The second person to defend Hanamichi was Yoru, who still had that same smiling face that was a bit infuriating.
