The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Like lightning, it pierced Li Teng's body from behind.

Although it is difficult to break through the armored target like Night Rogue with the power of tentacles, it would be a different story if the target was a human.

The slender blow directly pierced through Li Teng's spine and came out from his chest.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The intense pain and despair made Li Teng let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Affected by this, the Platinum Star summoned by it also completely collapsed in the air like melted butter.

"I said I was going to smash your head with one punch, didn't I?"

It was a change from his previous appearance of lying weakly and pretending to be dead.

Lin Qiao's eight eyes emitted a dazzling red light, and she pounced on Li Teng like a spider pouncing on its prey.

He pinched his neck with one hand and pressed him firmly to the ground, while the other hand was raised high, with some dark red flame burning extremely fiercely on it.

Li Teng realized something, his eyes filled with despair and fear, and he struggled even harder... but it was all in vain.

As just an ordinary person, he is completely unable to resist Lin Qiao, the Kamen Rider.

"Now it's time to hit the road!"

"Ahhh...!"

boom--!

The iron fist of burning flaming destructive energy fell, and Li Teng's screams stopped abruptly.

Above the sand dunes, a dark red energy ball emitting violent power instantly spread out.

And when everything disappeared, a huge sand pit appeared in the center of the sand dune.

Fine sand keeps falling around... but it will take some time to fill it up or restore it to its original state.

Chapter 19 Blessings to the Hominids

[Number of people remaining: one person]

[Congratulations on winning this competition. You will be the official user of the system from now on...]

"Annoying."

Listening to the voice ringing in my head, I felt a little impatient.

The content is nothing more than an introduction to the system and traveling to other worlds to complete tasks, which is something that should be written in the first chapter of other novels.

[Your body has been restored and the activity range restrictions have been lifted]

【Will you return immediately? 】

[If you select No, you will be given one hour of detention time]

"…no."

[Received, forced return will start in one hour, the timer has started, please be prepared]

After saying this last sentence, the system's voice disappeared completely.

Just as the system said, the broken armor on Lin Qiao's body was also recovering quickly, and the fatigue and weakness disappeared.

In just a few seconds, the whole person seemed to be back to his peak state.

At the same time, the blue light curtain in the distance that had always given him a strong sense of oppression also disappeared.

"Is this... the end?"

He murmured to himself in a low voice that only he could hear.

But it really doesn't feel real.

He looked at the surrounding terrain which was much lower than before, and the ground where Li Teng was before, which was now completely bare.

Lin Qiao sighed and picked up the smoke gun and smoke sword that were thrown not far away.

Then he walked back to A2.

The beautiful white-haired android was already lying quietly on the sand, with its hands locked in joints, tightly gripping the arrow that had pierced its core, never letting go.

Even though its owner tried to call it back, the depth of insertion did not change at all.

"..."

The miracle didn't happen.

The stand is the embodiment of spiritual power and the embodiment of soul power... Can an artificial person made of code and steel really have a soul?

Have it?

There's none?

To be honest, Lin Qiao didn’t really want to dwell on this issue...nor was she in the mood to do so.

"…System, can I take her away? Or repair her on the spot?"

[The system space function is not enabled, you cannot take away items that are more than half of your body weight or larger than 70% of your body weight]

[And the system's repair function can only be used for users or within the system space]

To put it bluntly, it’s not possible.

“…You are such a loser.”

He gently picked A2 up from the ground and brushed the sand off her body.

Lin Qiao pulled the trigger of the smoke gun in silence, and thick smoke instantly enveloped the two of them.

When the smoke cleared, the two had left the dead desert and returned to the ruined city full of greenery.

Because it was the first time to use the teleportation function of the smoke gun, I did not return to the underground shelter where the two of them lived together before.

But that’s fine too.

At least that dark, small place wasn't suitable for her, and it wasn't the place she should go.

Holding A2's body, they walked in the middle of the road in the ruined city - there was no need to hide anymore, neither him nor A2.

Some are confused and don't know where to go.

The sky above was already covered with dark clouds.

Finally, Lin Qiao stopped under a tree.

He bent down and put down the android holding the empty arrow in his arms, letting it lean naturally against the tree trunk.

Her expression looked so peaceful and serene.

All around was a sea of ​​blooming white flowers, which looked pure and beautiful - it was a flower called Tears of the Moon.

There seems to be some legend or something like that.

But too much time has passed and Lin Qiao can no longer remember the content of the game.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick...

A drizzle began to fall. Although the treetops above my head served as an umbrella, some raindrops still fell.

Lin Qiao, who had untransformed, half-knelt in front of the beautiful android in silence, not saying a word for a long time.

I obviously have a lot of things I want to say to her...but when the words come to my lips, I don't know what to say.

——But this is not a solution.

After all, the system only gave him an hour.

One hour……

I clearly wanted to leave this apocalyptic world as soon as possible and didn't want to stay even for a second longer, but at this moment I felt that one hour was too short.

"...Hey, A2, I won..."

"Although the process was not smooth and I was beaten badly, I won..."

After being silent for a while, he spoke in a low voice.

Having said that, I didn't feel any joy as a winner in my heart, but instead an extremely heavy feeling.

He couldn't say something like "I'd rather not win than let you live", because that would be too hypocritical and would trample on everything A2 had done for her.

"Actually, I still like you A2 quite a lot, even though we don't spend much time together and you're usually quite cold and rude when you speak..."

"But overall, I still like it, but there are some corny words that I really can't say."

He laughed out loud.

Lin Qiao picked up a blooming white flower - Tear of the Moon - from her hand and inserted it on the side of A2's hair.

"I've wanted to do this before. Even though they're all white, they really suit you."

Really...

But then I didn’t know if it was raindrops on my face, or something else, dripping from the corners of my eyes.

There's no point in saying all this.

It's just like when a classmate you haven't contacted for a long time suddenly sends you a message saying that he or she likes you after graduating from high school - it's so weird that you don't know what to say.

"So when I think about it, I'm really bad. I can only say these boring things at a time like this..."

But whether it was a momentary impulse or something else, it no longer matters.

It's too late after all.

Besides, he really didn't know what to say.

Gently use your fingers to wipe away the raindrops left at the corners of the android's eyes.

Even though new raindrops would fall after a while, he still enjoyed it.

"But to be honest, I am still a little scared, whether it is the problems I will face in the future or the problems related to myself..."

"Maybe one day in the not too distant future, my feelings will completely disappear."

In fact, I already have a certain feeling now.

As the danger level increased, his emotions did decrease a bit.

So much so that the sadness he felt now was not as great as before.

"But, even if one day my emotions completely disappear and I completely turn into an emotionless planet devourer."

I'm so tired, so alone

"But I still think I'm so lucky to have met you when my relationship was at its most complete."

"I am really too lucky..."

I was so lucky that it didn't seem like I deserved this treatment as I was the unlucky guy who got hit by a car as soon as I went out.

"Also, I'm really sorry..."

Because of me, I got you involved.

He stood up from the ground, and the time left for him by the system was almost over.

clang!

The one-handed sword and the greatsword that originally belonged to A2 were inserted into the ground in front of her, which served as a simple tombstone.

“Perhaps in the future, in other worlds, there will be other dangers, but I will survive.”

"No matter how despicable the means, I will do everything I can to survive."

"I will never let anyone else take away the life you risked your life to save!"

"absolute!"

Otherwise, it would be so unfair to you if I just gave my life away like that.

Finally, he gently stroked A2's delicate porcelain doll face, which felt very different from human skin, and because the core had stopped working, the temperature was also lower.

But it's so reassuring.
