Chapter 132 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Inside the blood-red western mansion, a silver-haired girl and a noble-dressed woman stood facing each other. "I do not have children, nor do I know what gas is," the noblewoman, Luo, looked at Nan Yin with interest, arms crossed, and a smirk on her face. "Little one, what kind of weapon did you use just now? Let me take a look. Maybe... I'll spare your life and make you a law-enforcer under me," she said with feigned enthusiasm, even making some dramatic gestures. Nan Yin, seeing this, couldn't help but cover her forehead in exasperation. Thankfully, there was no one else around, or she'd feel embarrassed for the over-the-top dialogue from Luo. It was the exact same script as in the original game. Back then, Su Xiaoyu had directly engaged in combat, but unfortunately, Nan Yin didn't have the strength to do so. All she could do was helplessly listen to Luo finish the seemingly rehearsed lines. In the end, perhaps seeing Nan Yin's indifferent expression, Luo finally stopped. Puzzled, she looked at Nan Yin. "Aren't you moved at all? Not even a little excited?" she asked. "Why should I be excited?" Nan Yin raised her eyebrows. "But that's a law-enforcer under me. Back then, so many people lined up for that position," Luo boasted. Back then? Nan Yin thought Luo was probably referring to thousands of years ago. People wanted to be your law-enforcer not because you were powerful, but because you were attractive, right? But of course, Nan Yin couldn't say such things to Luo's face. She shook her head again. This time, Luo was genuinely puzzled. Tilting her head, she asked, "Then what do you want?" "I can give you limitless wealth and splendor," Luo said. Nan Yin, now a big company boss, probably didn't lack in wealth and resources, so she still shook her head. "I can give you countless male companions." Nan Yin: ?? My goodness, if she's guilty, please prosecute her with the law, not subject her to hearing such statements! Nan Yin's face immediately showed disgust. Luo naturally sensed Nan Yin's aversion. She blinked and, truth be told, she had never encountered someone so unyielding. Money, women, status—none of it interested Nan Yin in the least. "What do you want then? I can give you powerful strength," Luo pondered. Powerful strength? Upon hearing this, Nan Yin gained a little interest. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Then, Luo, can you defeat Di Xin?" "Di what? Who? Hold on a moment," Luo felt a bit dizzy for a moment, but she quickly grasped onto another point. "Please address me as Lady Luo, thank you." "Oh, Lady Luo, can you defeat Di Xin?" Nan Yin added the word 'lady' with a stoic expression. "Oh... you mean Di Xin," Luo also had a neutral expression. Di Xin? That guy is still alive? Honestly, she was pierced through the heart by his cruel Imperial Army. Wasn't it called the Divine Machination Legion? But that's not important. Right now, all Luo knew was that Di Xin was alive. "So, can you defeat him?" Nan Yin actually knew the answer long ago, having read the original work. This Lady Luo was indeed formidable, but in front of Di Xin, she was like a child, almost calling him 'grandfather'. "...No," Luo sighed. "You say you can give me power, but it seems you're quite weak," Nan Yin crossed her arms this time. "No... Di Xin should be one of the strongest in your human world, right? You shouldn't compare yourself with him. Instead, at least name an enemy you currently can't defeat," Luo coaxed. Nan Yin raised her eyebrows, "My biggest enemy right now is Di Xin. You figure that out." Nan Yin certainly didn't want to antagonize Di Xin; she was just kidding. However, Luo took it seriously, "You have a grudge with Di Xin?" The fact that she, as one of the few strong ones, bore hatred towards Di Xin, astonished Luo. At this moment, Luo was moved to tears. Since waking up from that coffin, she had wanted to communicate with people, but her insatiable bloodlust led to her unintentionally devouring many. She was beyond redemption. Now, finally encountering someone she could communicate with, someone who shared her resentment towards Di Xin, Luo even felt a desire to bond over drinks with Nan Yin. Just as Luo was excited to take out her cherished wine, she suddenly realized something—what use was there in sharing a common goal with Nan Yin? The girl had no spiritual power, completely ordinary in every way! She relied on crude weapons like firearms for her killings. Thinking this, Luo's excitement disappeared in an instant. Her faint smile faded, and without a word, she acted. "Since you refuse the gift, become my essence instead." Luo acted swiftly; even before she spoke, a blood-red thread flashed in front of Nan Yin. "Bang! Bang bang!" Red, green, white—every defensive charm on Nan Yin's body activated in a split second, thanks to our beloved male lead, Su Xiaoyu. After Nan Yin paid a heavy price, he sold her all his belongings. Nevertheless, even as the male lead, he was just an unripe fledgling now. Despite the protagonist's aura, his charms could not withstand even a second longer. All that remained for Nan Yin was a few charms giving her five seconds won by explosion. The man in a black suit screamed frantically as he ran back upstairs, but it was like running into a corn harvester. Blood splattered on the corner mural of the stairs. First the footbones, then the legbones, and finally the entire blood-red skeleton, why blood-red? Because chunks of flesh and black fabric were stuck to the bones... As moonlight dissipated, the crimson light illuminated the pinnacle of the roof, where the pale girl removed her own head and sang a ballad. Fresh flesh was smudged on the mirror and on the sign outside the house. The pale figures smiled, with cracked lips, until their skulls cracked and fell to the ground. In an instant, Nan Yin's mind was filled with bizarre, inexplicable illusions. Nan Yin was sure they were illusions and assumed Luo was trying to mentally crush her. Perhaps these were events that had occurred in this mansion in the past and the people who died? With this in mind, Nan Yin crushed the last clear-headed charm in her hand, took a step forward, and the collar from the system's space appeared in her hand, finally securing it around Luo's neck.
