Startled by Xia Linyin's smile, the cannibal, enraged, hurled his knife at her, yelling, "I told you to take off your clothes! What are you laughing at?!"
The murderous blade, thick with the aura of blood and having drunk countless lives, whistled through the air as it hurtled towards Xia Linyin. Just as it was about to reach her face, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Ripples spread out from the blade, and in the next instant, the killing knife rebounded at an even faster speed, striking the cannibal's head.
Blood streamed down his head as the cannibal fell backward, a look of shock still lingering on his face.
"You—" Another cannibal rushed toward Xia Linyin.
With a crescent blade appearing in her hand, Xia Linyin spun around and plunged the blade directly into the cannibal's stomach.
Turning the knife handle and listening to the sound of flesh churning, Xia Linyin asked the cannibal, whose mouth was gushing blood, "Does it hurt?"
The cannibal drew his knife and knelt before Xia Linyin, his head and arms hanging low. He didn't even glance at her. Xia Linyin picked up the knife and walked out.
Crimson blood beads slid down the snow-white blade, dripping onto the ground one by one, forming a trail of blood behind Xia Linyin.
"Do you believe it? This is the first time I've killed someone," Xia Linyin asked Number 83.
She showed no fear, no trembling hands; she was frighteningly calm, perhaps because she perceived these cannibals as no longer human.
Or perhaps this wasn't her first time killing someone; after all, she had forgotten a few games.
Beams of laser light shot toward Xia Linyin, but were all blocked outside the barrier. The blinding light enveloped Xia Linyin, making her look like a moving luminous body.
The cannibals stopped firing. When they saw that Xia Linyin was still alive and unharmed, their eyes widened and their jaws nearly dropped in shock.
The crescent blade flashed through the air in a sharp arc as Xia Linyin passed right through the cannibals.
As he lowered the knife, the bodies of the cannibals behind him gradually separated, leaving perfectly clean cuts.
With the prison's structural diagram spinning before her eyes, Xia Linyin sprinted through the air, overcoming all obstacles, until she arrived at the storage room.
Having found the medicine, Xia Linyin packed it and other useful items into a bag, then slung the bag over her shoulder and left the storage room.
Seeing that Xia Linyin was walking in a direction that did not match the path leading to the exit, Number 83 asked, "Where are you going?"
“Murder,” Xia Linyin said coldly.
After a moment of silence, Number 83 said, "You need to save people."
“It’s all the same.” Xia Linyin swung her crescent blade and severed the head of a cannibal who was wielding a bone blade and trying to strike her.
“Maintaining the protective shield requires energy, Master. You have achieved your goal of coming to the cannibal's lair. I suggest you leave the prison immediately.”
“Number 83, you can use absolute rationality to analyze the best decision for me, but I am a human being. First, I cannot stand by and watch those humans be disemboweled, skinned, and have their heads chopped off to be used to raise maggots! When I have the ability to save them.”
"Secondly, when cannibals humiliate me by pressing my head to the ground, they should be prepared to pay the price!"
"You stole my mantis! Lock me in a cell—" Xia Linyin stabbed the cannibal into his body, the blade flipping as it was pulled out from his waist. The cannibal clutched his wound, but it couldn't stop his intestines from spilling out, hanging bloodily to the ground.
"You want to slaughter me, rip out my liver, chop my body to pieces, ha—"
With a soft laugh, Xia Linyin wiped the blood off the knife.
"Third, these people are no longer eating people to survive, but they enjoy killing and eating people. They will become a scourge on the normal world. The game asked me to rebuild human civilization, so let's start by cleaning up these people."
Xia Linyin, who was already bloodthirsty, was stunned when she kicked open the tightly closed door and saw a group of heavily pregnant women.
"They are..."
"Because there are fewer and fewer humans to be found, therefore—"
"Enough! Stop talking!"
Xia Linyin's body trembled uncontrollably. Due to extreme anger, she no longer wanted to think about whether the cannibals ate babies or raised them to eat. In the cannibals' eyes, these women's stomachs were full of their food reserves!
"hateful!"
Xia Linyin had never felt so strongly that her decision to massacre the cannibals was so right.
"This disgusting, cruel apocalypse!"
Xia Linyin smiled coldly as she watched the cannibals flee in disarray.
...
Feeling guilty, Xia Linyin opened the door of the hovercar and stepped inside. As soon as she did, Li Luo hugged her tightly.
She swallowed all the prepared explanations and wrapped her arms around Li Luo's body.
Although Xia Linyin had changed into clean clothes in prison before arriving, Li Luo could still smell the blood on her.
"Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was about you!" Li Luo's eyes were bloodshot, her expression ferocious and terrifying.
After looking at him for a while, Xia Linyin took out the crescent-shaped blade. "Li Luo, do you recognize this blade?"
Seeing a sharp curved knife appear out of thin air in Xia Linyin's hand, Li Luo was so shocked that she could hardly speak, "Sister, you..."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Linyin's face, but Li Luo suddenly said sharply, "You're not my sister, so who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?" Xia Linyin asked in return.
"Do you remember? We were lucky enough to find two Sawtooth Beast eggs once. That was the most delicious meal we ever had."
Number 83 said, "He's testing you; it should be three insect eggs."
"Brother, you're mistaken. There were clearly three insect eggs."
Li Luo stared at Xia Linyin for a while, as if trying to see into the depths of her heart. Xia Linyin met his gaze directly without flinching.
Unable to find any flaws in Xia Linyin's expression, Li Luo's gaze fell on the crescent-shaped blade. "Sister, what's going on with this blade? And this metal sheath..."
Xia Linyin didn't want to lie to him; one lie would require more lies to cover it up. But she wouldn't tell him the whole truth either; it wasn't the right time for Li Luo to know too much.
If she told him that he was an NPC and she was a player in a game, Li Luo would definitely think she was crazy.
Even if you believe it, you will still experience pain, because nobody wants to know that they are just a character in a game.
Moreover, she believed that Li Luo would regain her memories later, just like before, regaining all her memories.
It knows it is an NPC, but it is not a simple NPC, but an NPC that has a bug.
Xia Linyin wasn't too worried about the memory recovery issue. After all, Xiao Li had said that his memories had been erased by the game after he developed self-awareness, but he had recovered them all.
Faced with Li Luo's doubts, Xia Linyin said solemnly, "Brother, I must tell you something."
