Chapter 98: The Disease Called Love
I’m sure Yang Shifan really wants this Destiny Power. After all, he’s a Fate Hunter. Having a F-Witch capable of completely restricting a Master of Fate like this…
This is troublesome. His biggest trump card has been stolen by the enemy. This is simply the worst development.
Right, Qiye is also a Master of Fate, and moreover, the Master of Fate of the Seven Deadly Sins. He should be one of Yang Shifan’s targets too…
If only there was a way to pit these two against each other!
“But he shouldn’t be a match for you yet. Your Destiny Power is already enough to construct new destinies. That’s why I said you need to find Xi’er and bring her back as soon as possible.”
“Then why don’t you do it yourself?”
“I can’t abuse karma. If I were to be expelled by the world because of it, let alone becoming complete again, I’d be completely eliminated. After that, the world would never be able to become complete again. What do you think would happen?”
“…Would the world self-destruct?”
“I don’t know.”
So you don’t know!
“After all, it’s something that has ‘never happened before.’ But my future simulations, what you humans call ‘premonitions,’ are quite poor.”
I still have to make contact with Qiye. I remember Lan said she had a way. I’ll tell you when the time comes. I don’t know if now is that time.
I glanced at Lan. But this time, she didn’t seem to understand my thoughts. She tilted her head, pursed her lips, and purred with a smile.
Maliciously cute, minus points.
But for cuteness’s sake, I won’t punish you, as punishing you would only excite you.
“Sorry, Juncheng. I don’t really know what that weird and disgusting gloomy guy Qiye is up to. I only know that man has some special abilities. I met him because he commissioned me to investigate something. It was also then that I realized someone could see me.”
Although Lan knows a lot, she isn’t omniscient. The reason she knows so much is simply because she hasn’t been idle during this time; she’s been collecting information.
But Lan, like me, burst into this world, so she can’t know everything. She’s not Miss Shirley, who’s omniscient and omnipotent.
“Oh, right, right! Yang Shifan is going to look for you, Juncheng, also because of that gloomy bastard Qiye! He even impersonated me, making everyone the same. No one can pretend to be a good girl to win Juncheng’s affection anymore.”
You’re also very gloomy (.-..2网).
Tsk, so Yang Shifan found me because Qiye was causing trouble. Is his plan the same? First, incite the other two parties, then take advantage of the situation for himself.
I’ve been tricked, you bastard.
Where did this Qiye come from? He’s deliberately erased his existence, he’s really thorough.
After changing this world, so many inexplicable guys have popped up like moles. It’s really annoying. Is this the influence of world-line fluctuations?
Uh, and it’s not just world-line fluctuations; the world itself has problems. It’s only natural that all sorts of messy things are happening.
“But I still can’t understand, why exactly did you mistake Qiye for me…”
“I hadn’t seen you before. My impression of you comes from information recorded in a complete world. And that person has a very similar aura to you.”
“Aura? What kind of aura?”
…A repulsive aura.
“You saying that is as good as saying nothing…”
There are many kinds of repulsion, which one is it?
And lately, I’ve been called repulsive so many times that I almost don’t recognize the word anymore.
Speaking of which, which bastard said that a woman’s repulsion is equivalent to acting cute? That’s not it at all!
“I don’t know how to express this feeling, but it’s a fundamental, unacceptably repulsive feeling. Hmm, right, let me put it this way: if you were to enter my body, I would definitely die on the spot.”
Entering my body, what is that… That’s very misleading.
Wait, could it really mean *that*?
“Is this physiological aversion…?”
To what extent has this world hated me?
There’s no possibility of conquest here, is there? Isn’t she just as disgusted with me as Lianbing is now?
“For example, the feeling you give me now is very contradictory. It feels reasonable yet unreasonable, it feels present yet absent, ambiguous, unclear, and utterly disgusting.”
“Human intelligence is only at this level.”
Hey, hey, don’t generalize! Although I don’t understand, I believe there are people who can comprehend your words!
Humans are constantly moving forward on the path of seeking truth, don’t underestimate human perseverance!
Besides, you were the one who said it was messy. Your words are full of contradictions. Reasonable yet unreasonable, present yet absent, what the heck is that?
Who would behave like that? Would someone suddenly disappear and reappear?
“At that time, I didn’t differentiate clearly, but now I know the difference between you. This repulsive feeling you give me isn’t an aura you inherently possess; it’s someone else attached to you. And that man named Qiye has the same aura as you. Although it’s not as strong as yours, it’s very faint, but it’s emanating from him.”
I think I understand what she’s referring to.
“You are both walking on the wrong path. It’s just that your mistake was imposed on you, while he is the mistake himself. That’s probably it.”
The repulsive feeling she felt should be from the paradox ability that is still effective on me.
The world is absolutely ‘correct,’ so it’s only natural to hate ‘unreasonable errors.’
Ah, thinking about it this way, could Miss Shirley be… the complete opposite of the world?
It seems I’ve inferred something incredible.
Well, it doesn’t matter, it’s Miss Shirley. Right, Miss Shirley is a reliable Head Maid, a slightly magical Head Maid, a Head Maid with a sisterly aura. Nothing more special than that.
Forget it, I’ll think about this later. If I can’t conquer you, I can’t undo the Brain in a Vat scenario.
Wait, does this mean I have to conquer her while she hates me?!
What kind of insane difficulty GALgame is this?! Huh?! How can I make someone who physiologically detests me fall in love with me?
It’s impossible!
It’s over, I’m finished. This world is finished as well.
Let’s all be doomed together.
Let’s just write an END here and go into a Bad Ending.
Alright, alright, show’s over, show’s over. Nothing more to see, we’re GG.
Next, a big explosion scene would create an absurdist ending.
BOOM!
No, I’m kidding. Why did it actually explode?
The sound of the explosion was loud and seemed to be not far away. No buildings collapsed. Was someone setting off fireworks?
But I can’t see anything if I look up… What kind of explosion is this? Why is there no follow-up reaction?
No, that’s not right. Something seems to be falling from the sky above… I can’t see clearly…
What is that—After waiting for a while, when those things floated down to within the range illuminated by the streetlights, I finally saw what they were.
“Huh? Is it snowing? It’s really early for snow this year.”
Since it was late at night, I couldn’t see clearly before. Black snow was falling from the sky.
Is the air pollution this severe?
No, although the air quality isn’t great, it shouldn’t be falling like black snow. And the speed at which they’re falling is much slower than snow, like dandelion seeds drifting down slowly.
What is this… Seeds of Parasytes… Or is it ash…
I stretched out my palm to catch the falling black snowflakes. The moment my fingertip touched the black snow, my heart suddenly contracted with intense pain. A stinging, icy sensation spread from my palm, and then another surge of heat emerged from my body to fight it, forcing it out of my body after a struggle.
And I was already drenched in sweat.
“Wait! Don’t touch this black snow! Put on your hats and cover yourselves up!”
“Huh?”
…Damn it. Lan’s maid outfit is a bit too revealing! Lou Ling too! Why are they still wearing hot pants? Aren’t they cold?!
There’s no time to warn them. I had to pounce on both of them, then carry them both and roll to a nearby bench, and then immediately take off my clothes to cover their skin exposed to the air.
I know what this is. I was once possessed by this thing, but I had never seen its true form.
And this thing doesn’t affect me because I have ‘resistance.’
This… Zombie Virus! Impossible! Why?!
“Neither of you move! Stay under my body!”
“Yaaay~~~ Juncheng, you’re so amazing! Let’s fuse! Let’s make babies! Let’s be happy!”
“Don’t be horny at a time like this! This is a life-or-death situation!”
I directly suppressed Lan, who had latched onto my body, and then inserted three fingers into her mouth, pressing down on her tongue to make her behave.
Then I spoke to Lou Ling, who was indifferent to the situation and not resisting at all.
…Lou Ling.
“Whatever about that, first tell me, where is Li Nai?”
Where is Li Nai?
Where is she?
“She should be with you, right? Where did she go?”
“She’s not with me.”
“Ah???”
F SF Light Novel
“How could that be! She brought you home!”
“I don’t know. When I ‘woke up,’ I didn’t see the Li Nai you mentioned. I was lying on this bench, and my main body lost consciousness, so I could appear for such a long time.”
“Haahaha?”
Where did the vanished Li Nai go?
Why did Lianbing suddenly disappear?
What’s falling from the sky is the Zombie Virus. This range will turn everyone in the city into zombies—
The only one who could spread the virus in this manner is Li Nai, but why would she do that?
Damn it, could it be that something terrible is happening in the places I’m not?
Here we go again… That’s enough! I’ll play along to the end!
“Very well, this is sufficient.”
“This is sufficient? But what’s the point of this… A ‘Zombie Virus that only affects those who have been turned into zombies before’?”
“Because this way, it’s targeted specifically at Juncheng~ Hehehehe~”
“But ordinary people won’t change. Generally, they would definitely discover it.”
“No, it’s him. He’ll definitely take the bait. Even if he doesn’t see a single zombie, he’ll think a great danger has occurred.”
“What about you? You deliberately ordered your maids to forcefully bring me here, and forced me to be your accomplice. What are you trying to do? Do you just want Juncheng to suffer?”
“Hehehehe… I just want to fall in love with him again. A very ordinary thought~”
“That’s not ordinary at all. If you can’t twist your thoughts, you twist the facts. You’re such a twisted woman.”
“But even if you say that, you still did as I said. That already explains a lot, don’t you think? Big sister Li?”
“Hehehe, you just don’t want him to leave you, right?”
“Therefore, we have the same goal. Hehehehehe.”
“Aren’t you the same as me? Hehehehe.”
“Yeah, I’m sick too. / Hahaha!”
“That’s right, it’s the disease called love~ Hehehehehe~”
