“But I’m going to make you kill his companion right in front of him.”
Dr. Forefinger growled through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
“Then I’ll have you take off your mask and crawl into his bed.”
“After a night of pleasure, on his happiest day, put the mask back on and tell him to his face!”
“That it was his beloved woman who killed his companion, then dragged him down into hell.”
“I want him to live the rest of his life drowning in the guilt of betraying me!”
Inside the culture tank, bubbles of Treatment Fluid foamed from the young girl’s lips.
As if she had heard Dr. Forefinger’s voice, she struggled to open her eyes, which were filled with nothing but obedience and adoration.
“Good daughter, go to sleep.” Dr. Forefinger said softly. The anger and fury on his face had completely vanished.
As if that enraged man had nothing to do with him.
Accepting the command, Yun Ruoxi slowly closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.
Dr. Forefinger looked at the sleeping girl and whispered:
“I know you want revenge too, don’t you? But for now, you need to rest. Then, under the identity of Ye Lan, carry out the missions, earn the organization’s trust, and eventually gain clearance to go to the Positive Universe for operations.”
“I believe that with your abilities, that day will come soon. After all, you are the ultimate weapon I have forged!”
Dr. Forefinger let out a quiet laugh.
He had many projects on his hands, but few were truly successful. That was precisely why he remained stuck at his current rank.
Ye Lan was by far the most successful and most powerful weapon he had ever created.
Even Lin Zhen, when compared to her, was nothing but a failed product.
But Ye Lan…
There was no doubt.
Ye Lan, Yelan…
A flower of exquisite beauty destined to bloom in the darkness.
It was a pity, though, that the one who could appreciate her was no longer around.
“As expected, another old schemer! That was close, way too close. I almost got exposed. Who knew the Saint could…”
In a pure white System Space, patting her own slightly rising and falling chest, Yun Ruoxi, who had pretended to accept the command and fall asleep, was gently gasping in relief, her face full of lingering fear.
Everything manifested by the subconscious was her instinctive thoughts, incredibly real.
The script she had been given contained no plot for these five years.
So, without any defense against this subconscious maneuver, she had truly failed to detect anything and walked straight into the trap deliberately set by the Saint.
In that hazy state of subconsciousness, lured in by the bait and with emotions surging wildly, she had instinctively begun to think.
“Protagonist, Lin Zhen, captured. And something about an idiot. The real…”
Even thinking about it now made Yun Ruoxi’s face flush with embarrassment.
Her subconscious, her true thoughts, actually considered Lin Zhen that important, completely irreplaceable. And they thought he was strong, unwilling to give up.
Too ridiculous!
The thing to think about should be “I could replace him”!
A real man should be like that!
Where had all her male-era drive for achievement gone?
No wait, if the system could give her a Spin-off Qualification, her subconscious should have…
And when it came down to it, Lin Zhen wasn’t even that great!
When it came down to it, didn’t she always have to clean up his mess herself?
Yun Ruoxi thought these things while actually rubbing her own hot cheeks. She wasn’t sure if it was from the rubbing or from embarrassment.
“Honestly!”
Yun Ruoxi lowered her hands, let out a soft breath, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
“It’s been fifteen years since I transformed. When it comes to acting cute and throwing a tantrum, I’m more girly than any real girl. What’s left of that male heart I once had?”
“I should have realized it long ago. My subconscious has completely taken on the form of a woman!”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t just think about being the female lead or the villainess. I never once considered replacing Lin Zhen and becoming the protagonist myself.”
“So… I am a girl now.”
Yun Ruoxi sat down, pulling her knees to her chest and burying her head between them. She fell silent, tears silently dripping down.
The moment she realized this, she knew something had left her.
Something that would never return.
Yun Ruoxi wasn’t a person who cried easily. The worldview she had formed before her transmigration taught her to bottle up her emotions.
She wouldn’t easily shed tears in front of others.
Even after becoming a girl, it was the same. The crybaby act in the First Season was just her performance persona.
The real her was much tougher.
But right now, she felt that crying a little wasn’t such a big deal.
In fact, it would help vent her emotions, allowing her to pull herself together and set out again.
Yun Ruoxi wiped away her tears and sat down on the floor in a W-sit position.
This particularly feminine pose was something she rarely did before. In over a decade, she had only done it a few times during performances.
But now, she wanted to try it. Because this was her body.
She also wanted to try something she had been curious about but never dared to…
Forget it. This wasn’t a good place. Too much surveillance. Maybe she could sneak a try another time.
After all, she had telekinesis. It would be convenient.
Yun Ruoxi shook her head, her face red, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then mentally replayed the incident in her mind.
“I absolutely must remember this screw-up! If it weren’t for the Ultimate Brain Domain Isolation still working, switching the mental world that appeared in the Subconscious Manifestor to the brainwashed Second Machine, both the System and the real me would have been exposed to the Saints’ Hand Society.”
If the Saints’ Hand Society found out they were living in an anime world, Yun Ruoxi didn’t even dare to think about what would happen.
Breaking the fourth wall?
Whether the Saints’ Hand Society’s technology level could achieve that was one thing.
But discovering that conventional Mind Control was useless, they would definitely start tampering with her brain.
She didn’t want to end up babbling and mindlessly mashing a slime ball.
“Looking at it this way, the ultimate skills provided by the System are truly powerful. Completely worth the price. Even the Saints’ Hand Society’s latest technology couldn’t break through the skill’s defense at all.”
Yun Ruoxi let out a soft sigh and gave a mental thumbs-up to her real big daddy — the System.
From Dr. Forefinger’s words.
This incident should be completely over by now.
From now on, she just had to transform into Big Xi King, honestly act as a killing weapon, and complete the tasks the Doctor assigned her.
Of course, she knew that along the way, her hands would inevitably be stained with the blood of many innocents.
But to revive her parents, to get revenge, she had to do this.
She also felt guilt and embarrassment.
It wasn’t that she didn’t care.
A general’s success is built on ten thousand bones.
Without undergoing the baptism of blood, how could one become a Strong? This was a necessary part of the path to revenge.
And even if she didn’t carry out the missions, wouldn’t there be other members who would accept them?
As long as the Darkness does not dissipate, as long as the Saints’ Hand Society still exists.
The outcome would ultimately be the same.
The only difference was whether it was her, or someone else, who had their hands soaked in blood.
“So, until then, I won’t hesitate!”
Yun Ruoxi murmured to herself, as if hypnotizing herself.
“I will kill everyone who stands in my way. As Yun Ruoxi, under the identity of Ye Lan.”
“When it’s all over, I will atone for the innocent.”
At that time, Yun Ruoxi would die.
She would take on a different identity and live in seclusion with her parents on the Empire Border, using the rest of her life to do good deeds and repay this sin.
“From now on, I am Ye Lan. The cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty, murderous Ye Lan!”
“Let it begin now. My villainess life!”
Yun Ruoxi lifted her head, her gaze unwavering.
