In fact, everything is not complicated, this world soaked in anomalies is a cage, and the people imprisoned in it are turned into crazy creatures, and then they go to destruction together.

Xia Xiaoyu is also one of them.

She is the source of the disaster, but not the beginning of it.

In the end, for a long time, all life was eroded, and the lonely environment and distorted self finally led her into madness, so that she regarded Lin Ling, who was similar to her, as her only sustenance.

The human part and the monster part were also separated at that time, but they were connected to each other.

Xia Xiaoyu, who appeared in front of Lin Ling, was in a state where the human part was dominant.

But to be honest, in fact, Xia Xiaoyu is probably already dead.

The rest of the activities with her appearance are just an abnormal aggregate with the memory and personality of "Xia Xiaoyu".

“……”

Lin Ling sat on top of the ruins, lollipop in her mouth, and watched the sunset that fell into the mountains in the distance.

The former city has become a slag all over the ground, and it is no longer visible to the original.

The only remaining plants had died on the ground, and the lush green had disappeared from Linling's vision.

There was a chill here.

Aside from the collapsed buildings and shriveled cars in the distance, there was almost nothing left.

After the death of Xia Xiaoyu, who was infected, both those plants and mutated creatures had lost their vitality.

To this may be added the humans who have melted into the land.

Lin Ling suddenly wanted to sigh something, but found that she couldn't say a word.

She looked at the system in her arms, and when she was eating, the system had already fallen into her stomach, and although it was removed in time, the shell was still affected.

But......

The system is still sleeping soundly.

Lin Ling had already seen that the little guy had recovered from the outage, but she didn't know why she could still stay asleep in that situation, which was quite incomprehensible.

Even so, Lin Ling was a little envious.

So she picked up the system with both hands and smashed it against the rock like a walnut.

One time.

Two clicks.

Three times.

A continuous, rhythmic "thump" sound sounded in the silent ruins.

Eventually, an angry voice erupted from her hand.

[Host, you're insane! 】

The system, which was awakened by the pain, saw that it was slamming into the rock as soon as it opened its eyes, and when it realized that it was in Lin Ling's hand, it directly hit Lin Ling with a head hammer.

But this time, it felt like it was hitting the air, and there was no real feeling.

When he looked up, Lin Ling was wearing a gas mask, with long sleeves and long pants all over her body, and her neck and arms that were not wrapped in clothes were also wrapped in bandages.

The costume was so strange that the system almost didn't recognize who it was.

[Host, what the hell are you?] 】

"I was burned, and I had to do this to avoid scaring people." Lin Ling spread out her hand, and her fingers, which had been wrapped in several layers of bandages, looked a little bloated, "Do you want to see it?" It's full of pus~"

As she spoke, she tore the bandage off her neck.

【it!】 I don't look at it! See for yourself! The system directly distanced itself from Lin Ling, recalling the scene when Lin Ling melted the flesh and blood of the moth girl into her body, and the system felt that its own thread began to alarm again.

It wisely sealed the memory at once.

Unless it's dead, it won't look at this memory again!

"That's a shame."

Lin Ling seemed to regret it, but in fact, her hand did not touch her neck at all.

After all, she just wanted to tease this little guy, and she couldn't help but want the system to go down again.

"Okay, the mission has been completed, isn't it time to settle the reward?"

[Huh? So fast? 】

The desolate ruins around it came into view of the system, and that's when it realized that something was wrong with the environment.

[Did you do this?] 】

"No, it's the source of the infection." Lin Ling sat on a rock, picked up a stone and threw it.

[You killed the source of infection??? The system was a little surprised.

"yes, but it was done by sneak attack."

Lin Ling said, and then put a stone on the system's round head and watched the stone roll down.

[That summer is raining? ] 】

"She left, saying she was looking for other survivors, so she left before you woke up."

There was a slight pause in Lin Ling's hand holding the stone, but it quickly returned to normal and put another stone on the head of the system.

Feeling the childish behavior of its own host, the system couldn't help but retreat a few centimeters again.

[She's dangerous alone, isn't she? Even if the cause of this world is removed, there will still be dangers, right? 】

"And what do you want her to do? Let's go back together? Can you do it? Lin Ling looked at the system, her face hidden under the mask, making it impossible to see the expression inside, "And don't forget that she's also a monster." ”

【…… All right. 】

For Xia Xiaoyu, the system can't talk about liking or disgust, but more with a kind of fear.

But so far on the trip, Xia Xiaoyu did not bring danger to it and Linling, and provided advice and help at a critical moment.

So it's impossible to equate her with other strange lifeforms.

In this regard, the system can only regret that it did not say goodbye at the end.

[Then let's go back now, the settlement will not be completed until after leaving the world.] 】

"Okay."

Lin Ling looked at the little guy who completely trusted her, and held her right hand, and a slightly dented mark appeared from under her finger.

Hope...... Her lies can go on forever.

The blue light had opened up in front of the two, and Lin Ling glanced behind her, and saw the blue and white school uniform fluttering in the wind on the small earthen bag with a short knife in the distance.

[Host hurry.] 】

The sound of the system's urging came from the light gate, and its face was still filled with joy and excitement at the completion of the mission.

Lin Ling still looked there, and an almost imperceptible voice came out from the hollow face on the mask, "Good night." ”

She didn't look back.

……

At night, the station is flooded with dim lights that fill the space.

A door of light emerges from the sky, illuminating the entire area.

Lin Ling and the system stepped out of it.

"I said the system, can you change it to a less conspicuous way, so that it always feels easy to be exposed." Lin Ling walked to the chair she was sitting on, pulled out the watch stuck in the crack, and looked at the time on it.

It's past 3:5 a.m.

The world traveled in exactly one minute.

[Change?] Okay, do you want a toilet crossing, a car crash crossing, or a lightning split? Take your own one. 】

directly turned the dress up interface away from Lin Ling, and the system said that it didn't want to speak.

Hell knows why it has all this stuff in its traversal effect library.

"......" Lin Ling stared at several effects on the interface, and it took a long time for her to spit out a sentence, "It's really hard for you." ”
