Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain

Chapter 123 Laylah...



Hikaru frowned, he felt that her personality had completely changed since she saw the army destroying the zombies.

Up until now, Laylah seemed to be a different person. Moreover Her calm facade seemed to have disappeared.

Hikaru shrugged, then turned to leave.

[Master, won\'t you go inside to do the quest?]

"Didn\'t you hear Laylah say that it\'s dangerous inside, she even told me to leave?"

"Perhaps we just need to wait outside for everything to be over, then use a little fire to burn this place down to complete the mission."

"I don\'t need to go with Laylah either, if I go with her I\'ll put my life in jeopardy."

"Anything that Laylah is afraid of would surely be terrifying. Do you think… that it will be safe for me to go inside?"

[But it\'s not safe for Laylah to go alone, are you willing to let her go alone?]

Hikaru shrugged: "Did you forget that Laylah is also a main character?"

"Events like this will probably threaten Laylah\'s life but not kill her."

"On the contrary, after this event, Laylah will probably become even stronger."

[So… are you really ignoring her?]

"That\'s right." Hikaru said with a smile, "I want to stay away from her anyway, this is a good opportunity. I\'ll wait for her to finish the trouble inside the armory, then I will destroy it."

"Just sitting and waiting can complete the quest, why should I risk my life to help her?"

"I am just a villain, after all. Like you said, even though my luck is high, I don\'t have a main character\'s aura."

"Without the protagonist\'s aura, I would be in danger or even death."

"There is no reason for me to take the risk."

[Haizzz, it\'s up to you.]

Hikaru felt a little strange. This was the first time she had spoken to him this way.

Could it be… Rika changed her mind?

No, maybe she just didn\'t want to talk anymore.

"Why didn\'t you convince me? I often see that you will convince me to try to form close relationships with other women, why are you saying that now."

[Ah! You said that I shouldn\'t control you, now you are saying that it feels strange that I don\'t control your thoughts. Hikaru, you are hard to understand.]

Hikaru frowned, he felt that Rika was right so he couldn\'t refute her.

[Actually, I don\'t want to control your thoughts or actions either. I only want the best for you, like a mother who wants the best advice for her son.]

Hikaru: "..."

He felt that Rika was scolding him but he couldn\'t find an opening to reiterate.

[But I feel like no matter how much I talk, you won\'t listen to what I have to say. That\'s why, for now, I\'m just giving you some advice.]

[It\'s fine if you don\'t follow my advice. After all, the one who will suffer is you.]

"You mean I have to go inside that tunnel, no matter how dangerous it is inside, and help Laylah finish this event?"

[That\'s right.]

"Um… let\'s assume I\'ll do as you say. So… what will I get?"

[I don\'t know. Perhaps… you will gain Laylah\'s trust.]

"Hahaha… things like trust are the most useless things. Even if I gain her trust, if she wants to, she can still kill me."

[Hm… That\'s why I didn\'t convince you much. You don\'t believe what I say anyway.]

"That\'s right. Because what you usually say is too hard to believe. Even though I trust you very much, you are an existence attached to me after all."

"However, what you have advised me to do so far is just to flirt with the heroines."

[Haizz, like I said, you can think whatever you want. I also only want the best for you.]

[Besides… you already have Velys, I don\'t need to care too much anymore.]

"You\'re acting weird, Rika. At first, you encouraged me to flirt with the heroines, but when I wanted to confirm that Velys was mine, you tried to stop me."

"Rika, what do you really want?"

[Are you doubting me?]

"I don\'t doubt you, I just find it difficult to understand you."

[Haizzz, do you want to hear me tell the truth or a lie?]

"Of course the truth. Wait! Tell me the lie first."

[Lie? I want you to make all the heroines your heroines, then slap the male protagonists in the face.]

Hikaru: "..."

"So… what is the truth?"

[I feel that you are much better than those male protagonists.]

Hikaru was surprised to hear that. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was no better than those main characters.

He is cowardly, lazy, and unintelligent... After all, he\'s just an ordinary office worker on Earth.

He went to work at 8 am and came home at 5 pm.

He did not have too many friends, nor did he have any achievements or memorable events in life.

His life was very ordinary. So ordinary that even if he spends a day trying to find something special in his life, he can\'t find anything.

That\'s why, when he heard Rika say he was better than the main characters… Hikaru felt that this was a lie.

"Okay, I get it."

Rika didn\'t say anything more after hearing that.

Finally, he turned to leave.

After exiting that place, he suddenly stopped, and muttered: "Damn it!"

Inside the tunnel, Laylah ran while remembering what had happened in the past.

Memories that were buried deep once again surfaced, and this could be clearly seen on her face.

Laylah went to a room at the end of the tunnel. The door of this room was made of a special type of glass, so Laylah could see inside.

However, she had no intention of going inside and was just watching from the outside.

The room was filled with iron cages, no, maybe it was some kind of special metal.

In those cages were the skeletons of all sorts of creatures.

There were even human bones and strange creatures that no one has ever seen.

Laylah frowned, she looked into the deepest part of the room, where there were cells used to hold large creatures.

In it, there was a cell that had been violently broken open, of course, inside that cell, there were no skeletons.

Suddenly, Laylah noticed some strange marks on the ground next to the cell.

That mark was like a black footprint and handprint, as if someone was crawling with both their hands and feet covered in mud.

Those footprints and handprints stretched from the ground up to the wall, then…

Laylah followed the trail up to the ceiling. There, she saw a shadow that looked a bit like a human, but it wasn\'t completely human.

It was twisting its body like a rope. Then, from its back grew four more arms.

Those four hands were also not the hands of ordinary people, as they were longer, the fingers were also very long, and even had claws.

Laylah, seeing this shadow, immediately muttered, "Darizo..."

The shadow that was clinging to the ceiling seemed to hear the sound Laylah just made. It immediately stopped what it was doing, then slowly crawled towards the glass door.

As it walked to the glass door, Laylah could clearly see that it was a skeleton-thin man covered in human skin.

His long hair was tangled like a pile of withered grass. His face had an eerie smile like the one\'s monsters had in horror movies.

He opened his mouth to speak, although Laylah couldn\'t hear his voice, she could tell what he was saying by the movement of his lips and mouth.

"Laylah… you finally showed up…"

Laylah was fearless, her eyes filled with anger and murderous intent: "Darizo, I finally see you again… it seems… you have given up on being a human, and have become a ugly monster."

Darizo also seemed to understand what Laylah was saying even though he couldn\'t hear any sound from her.

He frowned and said, "Ugly? This is the beautiful shape of evolution. This evolution will take humanity far beyond the inherent mediocrity."

"Laylah, you have left me, betrayed me. You even destroyed my research. Lucky… hahaha… luckily those idiots couldn\'t enter this room."

"This room has been created with a special alloy, even if you use a diamond drill, you cannot drill through this glass gate."

Darizo said as he tapped the glass with his claws.

His claws were extremely sharp, however, no matter how much force he exerted, the glass door stood still, without any scratches.

Laylah smiled scornfully: "Darizo, this is the room you created… even though it can prevent people outside from entering, it\'s also your prison."

"You can\'t go out either, you\'ll have to stay in this room until you die."

Darizo saw Laylah\'s mouth move and knew what she was saying.

He just smiled and said: "Laylah, you are much more beautiful than before. I wonder how beautiful you will become when you become my test subject."

"You should remember that… if I can build this room, I can also break it."

"Oh!" Laylah nodded, then gestured with her hand: "Please… show me you can finally break through this room after years of being locked inside?"

Darizo suddenly stared at Laylah, his eyes beginning to change. His pupils began to divide from one iris into two, then four and then eight.

The 8 irises were crammed in his eye, but it was not completely useless.

Two eyes, a total of 16 irises stared at Laylah, Darizo smiled and said: "Laylah, did you know that eyes also contain a kind of energy."

"It can scare people and even make them obey orders."

"As long as there is enough energy in the eyes, I can control others to do what I want with just one look…"
