Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



Kateb understood what Hikaru was trying to say and because he understood he could only keep quiet.

Hikaru was right, even his own body could protect itself, so why can't he protect himself.

Kateb was silent for a long time…

Oe!

Oe!

Oe!

Suddenly, the sound of children crying broke the silence, startling Hikaru and Kateb.

"You go inside, I'll keep watch outside. A baby's cry will attract a lot of Zombies."

"You?" Kateb looked at Hikaru with a puzzled look. However, when he remembered that Laylah had a superpower that could kill zombies more easily than he did, Kateb fell silent.

He thought that maybe Hikaru also possessed superpowers on par with Laylah.

Kateb obeyed Hikaru's orders and walked to the front door.

The door to the room opened, and Laylah stood there and said, "Come in, I'm done. The baby is saved, there is no sign of zombie poisoning."

"However, Sanym is…"

Kateb nodded, then went inside. Laylah came out of the room then closed the door.

"I didn't think you would know how to deliver babies."

Hearing Hikaru's words, Laylah smiled and replied, "It's just a woman's instinct. However, you also trusted me unconditionally just now, right?"

Hikaru knew Laylah was talking about the time when she was about to deliver Sanym's birth.

In fact, he didn't think that Laylah knew how to do it, however, as she was a main character, he believed that she would definitely succeed.

Have you ever seen the main character fail?

Certainly not.

Even if forced to a dead end, the main character can still struggle and escape.

He didn't trust Laylah, he only believed in her lucky points.

Hikaru glanced at Laylah and asked Rika in his mind, "Why is it that as I am staying with Laylah I am not getting any luck instead I am only getting into trouble?"

[Master, you are the villain, and she is the protagonist. Have you ever seen the villain and the protagonist cooperate or accompany each other?]

[That is impossible. Even if your luck score is high, that doesn't mean you can become the main character or be as lucky as the protagonist.]

[The bad luck of a villain remains, it will even increase with your luck.]

"What the hell? So what do we need luck points for?"

[Master, the villain is not as lucky as the protagonist. Your luck points can help you live longer or even become a villain.]

[It also helps you to increase your odds of getting good items when drawing bonuses and many other good things.]

[Of course, it also brings bad luck such as increasing the odds of other protagonists meeting you. Increasing the odds that those around you also have bad luck or suppress the luck of those around you.]

[The current Laylah may not have become your ally, however, she is accompanying you so she is overwhelmed by your bad luck.]

"Then we just have to stay away from Laylah, right?"

[Do you think it will be that easy? The thread of your fate and hers is twisted, no matter where you are, she will be oppressed by your bad luck.]

Hearing that, Hikaru sighed…

"Oi! Why are you looking at me with those pitiful eyes." Laylah puzzled.

He shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

Laylah: "???"

He felt that Laylah was also too pitiful, because she was related to him, she got into a lot of trouble even though her luck score was extremely high.

"So… can Laylah use her luck points to fight the other main characters?" Hikaru asked Rika.

[That's fine… however, the odds of her winning will also be greatly reduced even if her luck points completely overwhelm the  protagonist.]

[Example.. Now, because her destiny is tied with yours, even though her luck score is much higher than Tadashi's, the odds of her winning against him are only about 15-25%.]

Hikaru heard that and let out a tired sigh. It seems… as long as the villain is involved, even the main character can't have a happy ending.

He didn't want to think anymore, after all he was just a passerby in this world.

This world was a world in a novel, and every character was created by someone else's pen.

Even though he was living in this world like a normal person, that didn't mean he wanted to stay in this world forever.

He didn't want to be a villain, who would be chased by the main character forever.

Hikaru wanted to go to the Fantasy world, although even if he goes to that world, he won't be the main character but at least he wouldn't need to continue being the villain.

He shook his head, as he did not want to think about it any longer.

Hikaru picked up the backpack Kateb had left on the ground, and placed some food from the Panara's space inside the backpack, then placed the backpack in front of the room door.

Laylah didn't ask much when she saw this, now she was certain that Hikaru possessed some kind of superpower like a mobile warehouse.

She suddenly looked away, and did not pay any attention to Hikaru's actions.

Laylah felt like this was enough, she didn't need to be a curious kitten, which would only make him more wary of her.

Hikaru looked towards the door for a moment, then left.

"Heh?! Won't you go inside?"

Hearing Laylah's question, he shook his head and said, "No need, if you already know the outcome, you don't need to see it."

"Oh! Looks like… you're a rather sensitive person, aren't you."

Hikaru didn't answer, as he went out.

Laylah knew that there was only one end for Sanym and Kateb. Sanym would turn into a Zombie, and Kateb would take the baby and leave for another safe place.

Then what?

With Kateb's personality, Hikaru and Laylah both knew that Kateb will definitely not kill Sanym even though she would turn into a Zombie.

It's just… , whether Kateb can take care of the other baby. Or Kateb and that baby will become a meal in a Zombie's mouth.

However, Hikaru didn't care much. As he had thought before, this place was just a world in a novel, every character here had an unremarkable ending except for the main character.

Most characters would either die or live a normal life that no one notices for the rest of their lives.

Kateb and Sanym were just one note in this chaotic symphony.

"If not, why did you leave the food for Kateb?"

Hikaru stopped walking when he heard that, he sighed and said, "It shows that at least in this cruel world there are still people who value your life."

"I just hope he can live a little longer, I just want to keep the flame of kindness that is burning in this dark world a little longer."

Hikaru shook his head, he felt that he was a bit strange himself.

Just now he thought that this world was just a fake world, and that he was a passerby.

However, now he wanted to keep some hope of humanity in this chaotic and brutal world.

Bizarre…

Hikaru didn't quite understand what he was thinking.

He didn't want to stay here long, so he left immediately. Laylah looked at his back and smiled, however, her smile this time was a satisfied and happy one.

Laylah immediately went to his side too, accompanying him. Even though Laylah didn't know where Hikaru was going, she thought that just following him would be fine.

…

Inside the hospital room, Kateb looked at Sanym lying on the bed, her face as white as the dead.

However, she smiled happily as she held the baby in her lap, letting it suckle from her breasts.

Sanym looked up at Kateb and smiled. "It's a girl... Thank you... Kateb..."

Kateb shook his head, he didn't know what to say, his hand reached out, it was trembling, as he wanted to touch the baby.

But then he pulled his hand back…

"Kateb…" Sanym suddenly said: "Thank you."

"Don't… don't thank me… I wasn't able to protect you."

Sanym shook his head: "No, thanks to you, I was able to give birth to this baby. But… next time, please take care of it."

"Sanym…" Kateb trembled, he knew why she said that.

He wanted to say something to comfort Sanym but in the end he remained  silent.

"Kateb… take this baby away… I… I can't hold back anymore…"

Hearing Sanym's words, Kateb noticed that the threads of blood beneath her skin had spread everywhere, her eyes were also gradually losing their black color.

Sanym lowered her head, her tears welling up, as she kissed the forehead of the baby in her arms: "Sorry… Saphen, sorry for not being able to continue to be with you… sorry, or forgive me…"

She reached out, took Kateb's hand, and put it on the baby: "Please… help me take care of her."

Kateb couldn't hold it anymore and burst into tears. He picked up the baby tremblingly and looked at Sanym.

At this time, although tears were still flowing, she showed a happy smile.

As the baby left her mother it was as if it realized what was about to happen, so she cried loudly, and her cries echoed throughout the room.

Saphen's cry made Sanym feel despair and pain, and this made her cry even more.

Kateb also cried, at this moment, tears and pain had engulfed them.

"Go!" Sanym gritted her teeth and said.

Kateb was startled, he looked at Sanym then turned and walked out of the room. He suddenly saw a backpack full of food outside.

The backpack was his, however, he clearly remembered that the backpack was empty but now there were many boxes of biscuits, sausages, canned goods..etc.

"Could it be…" Kateb thought of Hikaru and Laylah, but when he looked around, he didn't see anyone.

"GAOOOO!!!"

Suddenly, a scream from inside the room startled Kateb.

Kateb turned his head, and he saw Sanym lying on the hospital bed convulsing. Her hair began to grow abnormally long, like tree roots as they started to spread around.

He immediately closed the door and leaned back against the door, plopping down on the ground.

He cried, he held the baby in his arms and cried. The baby in his arms also cried loudly.

Their cries and tears filled this entire space.
