Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

Bullets poured out and instantly penetrated Bolong's body.

Chapter 22: Doctor, there is someone you want to see too, right?

The bullet was fired, and Spasi's already unstable arm almost caused the pistol to slip out of his hand due to the recoil.

However, he still managed to fix it in his hand.

Watching the bullet pierce through Bolong's chest just as he had aimed, he felt a mixture of emotions.

However, after rationally sorting out all the emotions, they eventually turned into a single thought - gratitude.

He successfully struck Bolong's vital point, which meant that he was about to take back control of the Observation Core from the Eighth Herrscher.

Instead of being happy, the Eighth Herrscher was filled with anger.

"Tsk, what a stubborn guy."

Feeling the pain coming from its body, it couldn't help but grit its teeth.

Spasi was much more ruthless and rational than it had imagined. Even when facing Bolong, with whom it had been friends for many years, the other party was able to pull the trigger without hesitation and take away the life of this body.

But, it still didn't give up.

Before its eyes fell silent, it spoke to Spasi again, "Let's make a deal. Before I die, I can create a dream for you. In the dream, you can see the person you most want to see."

Since their past friendship couldn't stop Spasi's actions, it wanted to use Spasi's own desires to delay him.

After all, with Spasi's current injuries, it is impossible for him to survive. Therefore, it offered such conditions to tempt Spasi to yearn for the afterlife.

It didn't believe that Spasi could ignore those things and choose those illusory things.

"I don't need that."

Spasi said coldly, pulling the trigger again.

The smoke rushed into his nostrils with a violent amplitude.

"Too bad you can't refuse."

A smile formed on the corner of the Eighth Herrscher's mouth. With the help of the power already buried in this body, it would construct a dream just for Spasi.

Although the power of this dream is not too strong, it should be enough to hold the opponent back.

"Doctor, you have someone you want to see, right? Rather than dying alone here, why not enter my dream?"

Looking at Spasi's gradually lifeless eyes, it smiled with satisfaction. Bolong's body also lost the last bit of life and fell to the ground weakly.

……

"Spacie? Spacie!"

Hearing the familiar voice in his ear, Spasi came back to his senses from his daze and turned his gaze to the woman sitting opposite him.

The woman seemed to be in a bad mood at this moment. She pouts and looks at him with a slightly dissatisfied expression, as if blaming him for being distracted.

The moment he saw that familiar face, his heart suddenly trembled, and his throat seemed to be stuck, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.

Seeing that Spasi's eyes had shifted back to her, the woman said with some complaint, "Really? What are you daydreaming about?"

"Could it be that you're thinking about work?" The woman guessed, her bright eyes once again tinged with dissatisfaction. "Didn't you promise me that you'd put down your work and spend the whole day with me?"

Although she understood her husband's focus on his career, at this time when they were alone, she still hoped that Spasi could pay more attention to her.

Spasi looked at his wife, took a few deep breaths, propped his elbows on the table, and pressed his forehead hard. "...No, I'm just a little dizzy. It seems...I'm dreaming. None of this seems real."

"You're just too tired." Seeing Spasi's painful expression, his wife quickly stood up and gently stroked his face with her hand. "Your work is important, but don't push yourself too hard.

"Remember, I'm always by your side."

He exhaled heavily again, and Spasi's eyes became firm again. "...Yes, you are right."

He turned his head and looked towards the grass beside the garden, "Hey, Bolong, come out."

As he shouted, a nimble figure emerged from the dense vegetation. "Doctor, what do you want from me?"

"Is Bolong following you today?" the wife asked Spasi.

She was no stranger to Bolong. As Spasi's personal bodyguard, Spasi's protection work had always been done by him.

"Haha, he is my personal bodyguard."

Spasi first answered his wife's doubts with a smile, then stood up, walked to Bolong's side and patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Today is a good day. You should get off work early and go home to spend time with your wife and children."

The relationship between the two is more like friends than that between superiors and subordinates.

"Doctor... this is against the rules..." Although Bolong showed an interested look, he still shook his head and rejected Spasi's proposal.

After all, as Spasi's bodyguard, he had to ensure Spasi's safety.

"Don't worry, I will keep myself safe." Spasi said as he reached out to the other's waist.

Taking out the other party's personal pistol from Bolong's waist, Spasi smiled and said, "Just lend me the gun for a while."

"PhD……"

Bolong wanted to continue to stop it, but he was greeted with a gunshot.

boom--

At close range, Spasi shot Bolong dead with one shot, causing the opponent's body to fall powerlessly to the ground.

"...Spasi, what are you doing?!" The wife was stunned by the sudden gunshot. After she reacted, she let out an unbelievable scream.

Although in name Bolong is just Spasi's bodyguard, humans are emotional creatures. After a long period of contact, both of them regard each other as their true friends.

Therefore, the wife could not believe that Spasi would actually shoot and kill Bolong with his own hands.

However, this is just the beginning.

After she screamed, Spasi slowly turned the muzzle of the gun and locked onto her as the next target.

"Why... why?"

Looking at the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, she widened her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Looking at his wife's face, Spasi's mouth twitched slightly, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

But, in the end, he pulled the trigger.

boom--

A gunshot rang out in his brain, and Spasi sat up suddenly, gasping for breath.

“Ah! Huh… Huh…”

He was breathing heavily, looking at the pitch-black surroundings, as if he still had not recovered from the dream he had just had.

As if feeling too hot, he tugged at his pajamas, opening the collar a little wider, trying to calm his restless mood.

Chapter 23: Because of the pain, we must keep moving forward

Snapped--

With a subtle sound, a warm yellow light lit up from the side cabinet beside the bed, spreading to the surroundings and dispelling the darkness in the bedroom.

"Spacie, are you having a nightmare again?"

A gentle female voice sounded, and Spasi turned his head to see his wife beside him looking at him anxiously.

As time passed, the violent beating of his heart gradually calmed down, and Spasi's breathing was no longer so rapid.

He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pondered the dream that had been so clear just a moment ago, but now he couldn't remember the details. "I... had a very strange dream. In the dream... I killed you with a gun, and..."

"You've been having nightmares a lot lately. It must be because you're under too much pressure." His wife comforted him.

"Dad..." Just when Spasi was about to say something, a childish female voice suddenly sounded at the door of the room.

Spasi looked in the direction of the sound and saw his daughter walking into the house.

"Dad, what happened?" The daughter seemed to have heard Spasi's call and asked anxiously.

"Dear, Daddy is fine." Spasi breathed a sigh of relief, then a gentle smile appeared on his face as he gently stroked his daughter's head. "It's late now, go get some rest."

"Ah."

Hearing Spasi's words, the daughter nodded obediently, then walked out of the master bedroom and walked towards her own bedroom.

As his daughter left, the smile on Spasi's face disappeared again.

Seeing Spasi like this, his wife thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you a glass of milk."

Given Spasi's current condition, she thought he might need to drink some milk to relax.

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to rush towards the kitchen.

"I'll go with you." Spasi suddenly said.

The wife didn't say anything, just nodded, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen together.

When we arrived at the kitchen, my wife lit the chandelier and went to prepare the milk.

Spasi walked to the pool and washed his face with cold water, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

"Spasi, the milk is ready." After spending some time to warm the milk and pour it into the cup, the wife called out to Spasi.

However, Spasi did not respond and remained by the pool with his head lowered.

Seeing this, his wife had no choice but to continue to comfort him, "For the past few years, you have been researching a treatment for the "Honkai Disease" and have not rested properly. Now that you have found a cure for it, don't push yourself so hard."

"...I remember you guys seem to have contracted the 'Honkai Disease'."

"Why are you having these random thoughts again?" The wife was a little helpless at first, but then she seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Maybe it's because you've seen too many people die from Honkai Disease, which puts too much pressure on yourself, so you have this hallucination.

"Don't worry, my daughter and I are alive and well."

She took two steps forward and gently put her arm around Spasi's waist from behind, "We will always be by your side."

Feeling the warm embrace from behind, Spasi gritted his teeth secretly, "This dream... is so perfect, so perfect that I even want to stay here forever."

"Hubby, what nonsense are you talking about? This is your home, of course you can stay here forever..."

Before she could finish her words, she widened her eyes, loosened the arms around Spasi's waist, and looked at the sharp blade at her waist in disbelief.

In the instant, Spasi pulled out the knife from the side of the pool and stabbed it into her body.

"It's a pity...you are not her."

Spasi turned and looked at her. "When they contracted the Honkai Disease, I couldn't develop an antidote. When they died, I didn't want to let them go."

"If Dr. May hadn't cut off my infected left hand, I would have died with them."

As if he recalled the scene at that time, an extremely painful look appeared on his face.

"Then why don't you want to accept this dream?!" The wife, completely changing her gentle demeanor, roared at Spasi, "Can't you be with the one you love here?"

"No, you're wrong!" Spasi stared at it coldly. "If I continue to immerse myself in dreams, that would be the greatest betrayal of them! My only reason to live is to avenge Honkai!"

"Huh..." He breathed a sigh of relief. "I've been dreaming this for too long. Goodbye..."

Afterwards, he no longer lingered and completely bid farewell to this temporary dream constructed for him by the Eighth Herrscher.

As his consciousness returned to reality, the pain of the bullet piercing his body, the weakness and coldness of his body, and other feelings suddenly invaded his consciousness, causing him to let out a low wail uncontrollably.

"Finally woke up. Time is running out. We must quickly restart the observation hub."

He gritted his teeth and dragged his already powerless body towards the observation center.

Barely maintaining consciousness, he restarted the device and made it work again.

"Hold on, Sue."

……

"I should go now, Director Farr."
