Three Years After I Was Betrayed By Humanity - CH 3.2
By now, the child looked so frightened to the point that he was on the verge of crying, looking nothing like the adorable and cute child from before. However, perhaps of the tension within the room, he did not dare to make a sound.
A wise decision from a little child, because if he dared to contaminate my ears with a kid’s wailing, I would definitely drive him out of my house instantly.
Tears came out of my eyes from my laughter.
I shook my head as I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. “What kind of person do all of you see me as? Someone with a sharp and unforgiving tongue, but a soft and merciful heart?” I giggled, “That I will run my mouth at these visits, then return to be taken advantage of like a stupid animal?”
Xiao Yi merely stared at me with scarlet eyes that seemed to seep with blood.
“Well, the answer is, of course!” I answered viciously, shrugging my shoulders and spreading my hands apart like a rascal, “In fact, I genuinely think that ten days were too long, and that I wish from the bottom of my heart that all of you would disappear with remorse and fear, so that my eyes will no longer be contaminated by the likes of you.”
However, it was not impossible for me to wait patiently for the days to pass. What greater joy was there than to watch the disgusting people, who were so afraid of death, to perform ungrateful deeds for my entertainment?
Upon listening to my words, Xiao Yi mental strength finally collapsed, and she screamed in a shrill voice, “You’re so strong and powerful, doesn’t that mean that you should use it for the benefit of everyone? What are you brooding about? It’s true that you’ve been injured, but aren’t you still well and alive? When the fifth wave arrives, billions of people will die because of you. Do you understand!?”
I think this was a highly complicated issue, and I have the responsibility to correct it so I can end the fun for today.
That was because I think I could smell the burnt scent in the kitchen again, but I was sure I did not assign any task for the little artificial airhead??
“Firstly,” I said while posing as a teacher, “If the fifth wave strikes and wipes out every race in the world, it’s not my fault at all, and it’s the world’s consciousness thinking that all of you deserved to be destroyed.”
Xiao Yi sneered at my answer, but what I said was the truth.
The black cat swayed his tail around, looking as innocent as ever.
“Secondly, I’m not brooding at all. Your brother was right about one point, and that was the fact that I could’ve easily refused to sacrifice myself a long time ago and no one could do anything about it.” Because their hold on me was merely based on my moral beliefs, “Don’t your people understand by now? The only reason all of you didn’t die eight, six, five, and three years ago was me.”
Damn, I have already extended the lifespan of this universe four times! If this was a game, I was the operator, and they were the players, my company’s financial report would definitely be booming!
But looking at my current possessions – a seclusion hut and an artificial airhead…
Damn it, it’s so unfair!
I raised up my third finger and waved them in front of her face, “Lastly, who told you that just because I am still well and alive right now, it meant that I have not died before?”
This sentence must have sounded quite meaningless, because Xiao Yi was at a loss.
But that’s entirely okay, because I have thoughtfully prepared a little immersive experience for her.
I snapped my fingers leisurely, and the black cat perked up his ears in response.
Xiao Yi’s eyes widened suddenly and the expression on her face distorted, before her face paled to an impossible shade as she fell toward the ground like a dead person.
After that, I threw both mother and son to the Empire’s camp nearby, together with the empty lunchbox from yesterday that smashed into the back of the ex-boyfriend’s head.
As I slammed my door shut, the black cat finally spoke up. “What did you show her?”
“My memories of dying and reviving, again and again,” I said matter-of-factly.
Everyone assumed that I was the chosen hero who could solve every issue that arose in the universe.
But how was that possible?
Just like playing an online game, the later levels will always be much more difficult than the earlier ones. The only advantage I had was that after my death, I would instantly be resurrected so that I can continue to fight.
It’s a useful ability, but it’s also very taxing on the person… to be precise, me.
After all, on the fourth wave three years ago, I died thirteen times before successfully saving the world.
And honestly speaking, until the moment of expulsion, I had genuinely thought that these deaths were worth it.
The black cat’s leisurely swaying tail paused in midair at my words, “…That might end up killing her.”
But I was very confident in my skills, “No, I would never kill a person.” This was the basic morality left to me by another world that was already too far and unreachable for me.
If it weren’t for my so-called moral values that were bound to my soul, I might’ve chosen to spill blood on the spot three years ago.
“Alright, but don’t you think you forgot something?” The black cat asked wryly.
“…” I slowly turned my head toward the kitchen, where black smoke had already begun to rise, “Did Xiao Yi bring any lunchboxes today?” I asked quietly in resignation.
