System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

◎Take Responsibility for Me.◎

Yun Wenzhou had been woken up by the first agonizing scream when Mo Jiu killed the first person.

Yun Wenzhou got up and went to the window to look down.

Sister was dressed incredibly cool today, all in black, her hair curling in a provocative arc, the wolf tail at the back of her neck both alluring and sexy.

“Does anyone else want to join in the fun with me?” Her tone wasn’t particularly intense, yet it sent shivers down the spine of everyone facing her.

She was utterly commanding.

And her inner voice was: Don’t be soft-hearted, don’t be soft-hearted, don’t be soft-hearted. If I’m soft-hearted toward the incorrigible, then I’m the one who’s incorrigible.

Yun Wenzhou curved her lips, supporting her head with her hands, utterly smitten.

This is my Sister, my beautiful and commanding Sister.

Sister is so beautiful, Sister is so powerful, Sister is so cute. As expected of Sister.

After Mo Jiu confirmed Sima Xiu Luo’s location and chased after him, Yun Wenzhou briefly tidied her hair, then directly opened the window and leaped down.

Her black, thick-soled leather shoes with an English style landed lightly, without making a sound.

Her long, straight black hair was neatly draped behind her, the ends almost perfectly even.

Yun Wenzhou’s appearance was always flawless. Her noble and elegant demeanor might be inadvertently dropped in front of her sister, but in front of others, it was always the most potent aphrodisiac.

It made people yearn for her but fear to approach and desecrate her.

The few men on the ground were dumbfounded on the spot, frozen in place as if paralyzed.

Yun Wenzhou smiled and made a “shush” gesture toward them.

She wanted to secretly follow her sister and see what she planned to do.

However, before taking a step forward, Yun Wenzhou could never have imagined that these men would be the last living people she saw before leaving the Xiu Luo Gang.

The supermarket.

After Mo Jiu finished saying the words “Now you can go die,” she immediately raised one hand and crushed Sima Xiu Luo’s heart from a distance.

Crushing the entire body was not only strenuous but also resulted in a slower death.

Crushing the heart meant death was instantaneous.

Sima Xiu Luo collapsed, maintaining an expression of terror.

The people around him quickly rushed to help him.

“Boss, what’s wrong?”

“Boss?”

They checked Sima Xiu Luo’s breathing, felt his pulse, and pressed his carotid artery. Finally, they belatedly realized he was dead, and panic erupted on their faces.

One fearless person spoke up in his defense: “He only spread a rumor about you. Is that reason enough to kill him?”

“Sympathy for him? Then you can die too.” Mo Jiu crushed this person’s heart as well.

Explanation was pointless because Mo Jiu already understood: this group of people didn’t care about the truth, didn’t care about what others thought. They only cared about satisfying themselves.

Explaining would only make them think that her innocence was so important to her that they had to graciously bestow it upon her.

No. She was just annoyed, and there were many ways to resolve annoyance. The simplest and most direct way was to make the person who was annoying her disappear from this world forever.

After killing two people consecutively, shouldn’t a normal person at least shrink back and do nothing, if not kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?

But the remaining people quickly exchanged glances and simultaneously launched an attack on Mo Jiu!

Different people with different abilities, which left Mo Jiu dazzled.

However… Mo Jiu instantly froze them all.

Everyone was immobilized in their attacking posture, their expressions shifting from astonishment to terror, and then to despair.

Clearly, they knew very well the outcome of a failed attack.

“You disappoint me greatly,” Mo Jiu said expressionlessly. There was no detectable disappointment in her tone. “If everyone could just talk things out instead of resorting to violence, how wonderful that would be.”

As the words fell, she clenched her fist, and everyone spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.

Afterward, Mo Jiu reflected and thought that the reason they insisted on launching a surprise attack, even knowing they might die, was that they were scared by her decisiveness. They figured they would die even if they didn’t act, so they might as well band together for a slim chance of survival.

But Mo Jiu swore that she truly hadn’t intended to wipe them all out.

All she could say was that she still didn’t understand men, or rather, didn’t understand a world without moral constraints, where only profit mattered.

From the moment Sima Xiu Luo unhesitatingly burned those four castrated guards, she should have known what kind of place the Xiu Luo Gang was.

Mo Jiu walked to a clean chair and sat down to rest for a while.

She successfully made the people who annoyed her disappear, but she wasn’t happy at all. Instead, she felt incredibly complicated.

Only a year had passed since the meteor shower, and had humanity completely abandoned morality? Or was it just the Ability Users Alliance that was like this?

When Yun Wenzhou stepped into the supermarket, this was the hellish scene she witnessed.

Seven men lay motionless on the ground. A few of them had their eyes open, unable to rest in peace.

And her sister was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, as if on a throne made of piled-up bones, her face devoid of desire, indifferent and distant, as if she had seen through the world.

Her inner voice was also blank, only stirring with a ripple when she saw her.

Xiaozhou…

I shouldn’t have let her see this.

Yes, you shouldn’t have let me see this.

Yun Wenzhou curved her lips, stepping over the corpses to reach Mo Jiu, and reached out to brush the hair near her ear.

Mo Jiu turned her head to dodge but failed, letting her have her way. She felt a tingling sensation where Yun Wenzhou’s fingertips touched.

“Sister, you forbid me from killing, yet you are killing so happily yourself. That’s really unfair,” Yun Wenzhou said.

Mo Jiu couldn’t be bothered to explain. She spoke forcefully: “Whether I kill or not is my freedom. If you kill someone, get away from me. There’s no ‘why’.”

Once the boundary between good and evil blurs, there is no turning back. I have already crossed it, but you cannot…

But I no longer know who should be killed and who shouldn’t.

What if Xiaozhou is bullied because she didn’t strike in time?

Wait, isn’t this…

Mo Jiu: Isn’t this completely following the villain’s path?

System: …You are indeed following the villain’s path right now.

Mo Jiu looked up at Yun Wenzhou, then quickly lowered her gaze.

Yun Wenzhou noticed her look and tentatively reached out to lift her chin: “Sister, ever since last night…”

Mo Jiu avoided her hand.

Yun Wenzhou didn’t mind and continued: “…you haven’t looked at me properly?”

Mo Jiu would dodge her gaze or turn her head away when she saw her face, as if there was something shameful on her face.

“Sister touched my entire body and forced me to give such a shameful reaction, yet I haven’t been shy toward Sister. How can Sister, conversely, not face me?” Yun Wenzhou played with Mo Jiu’s wolf tail hair.

Mo Jiu grabbed the hand that was playing around, unable to endure it anymore, and stood up to push her against the wall.

Yun Wenzhou’s back hit the wall, and her legs were forced to bend due to the mineral water bottles stacked on the floor.

She let Mo Jiu pin her wrists by her ears, looked up to meet Mo Jiu’s eyes, her expression utterly pathetic: “Sister?”

Mo Jiu, fresh from killing, was filled with murderous intent, but upon meeting her gaze, she instantly lowered her eyes and pursed her lips as if she had been shocked. She not only lessened the force on Yun Wenzhou’s wrists but also used her other hand to support her waist, afraid she would fall.

Her words were harsh: “Say words like that again, and I’ll kill you too.”

Her heart was soft: I bullied her and am still so fierce to her… I’m really not a good person, aah aah aah!

Yun Wenzhou couldn’t help but laugh. She suddenly leaned in and pecked Mo Jiu on the lips.

Mo Jiu’s mind went blank. Her mouth stopped, and her inner voice stopped. She was completely stunned.

Last night, she could still blame everything on the Charm Scent. Now… what was this supposed to be?

Following that, Yun Wenzhou said the words that would make any highly moral person unable to cope: “Sister, you bullied me. You need to take responsibility for me.”

Mo Jiu: “…”

In a brief moment, Mo Jiu thought about many things.

She thought she should take responsibility.

Even though everything started because of the Charm Scent, it was also a fact that she had taken advantage of the scent to bully Yun Wenzhou in all sorts of ways. She was the one who owed Yun Wenzhou.

However, she was going to die at Ye Lan’s hands sooner or later…

Yun Wenzhou could certainly like women. She liked women too, but Yun Wenzhou shouldn’t like her.

She could shelter Yun Wenzhou for a time, but not for a lifetime.

She couldn’t stay with Yun Wenzhou until the end, so this relationship shouldn’t have started in the first place.

But what if it already had?

Concealing it until the moment she left… she didn’t want to imagine how heartbroken Yun Wenzhou would be.

But rejecting her now would also hurt her.

What was the right thing to do?

Mo Jiu tried to ask the System for help, but the System was a heartless artificial idiot, no different from the corpses on the ground who only discussed profit and not emotion.

System: Tying the villain Yun Wenzhou to you with emotion is a good choice. This will significantly increase the Host’s survival rate before the final battle, and it aligns well with the Host’s persona.

Mo Jiu: Go die.

System: …

Mo Jiu’s heart was still conflicted over whether to reject Yun Wenzhou now or later. She couldn’t make a choice.

But her body made the choice—she wrapped her arm around Yun Wenzhou’s waist and pulled her into a hug.

Yun Wenzhou rested her head on Mo Jiu’s chest, pleasantly surprised: “Sister? Does this mean… you accept my feelings?”

“Feelings? You are just my toy,” Mo Jiu said in a cold tone, yet she gently stroked Yun Wenzhou’s hair, like comforting a small animal.

I can’t reciprocate her feelings.

Yun Wenzhou froze, her face showing confusion more than disappointment.

“I can take responsibility for you. As the owner, I naturally have to take good care of my toy.”

I must be kind to her.

“If you want something, tell me, and I can satisfy you, just like last night. But never expect to receive my love—you’re not worthy.”

I can give you everything, except love.

Yun Wenzhou leaned against Mo Jiu in a daze. She didn’t understand the words Mo Jiu spoke, nor did she understand her inner voice.

Why can’t you love me?

You can give me everything else, so why is love the only exception?

What concern does Sister have?

What secret is Sister hiding that even her mind-reading ability cannot perceive?

But… does it matter?

Yun Wenzhou had known for a long time, even before leaving that house, that her sister was extraordinary.

A mouth full of lies, flawless acting, occasionally interrupted inner thoughts, and unpredictable behavior.

All of this might seem strange to others, but in Yun Wenzhou’s eyes, even her sister’s flaws were part of her charm.

At least, her sister wouldn’t despise her, question her, think her motives were sinister, like some people. Nor would she pretend to be kind to her while harboring filthy desires in her heart, like others.

Even when touching her in her heart, her sister was gentle and cherished her.

As long as she could stay by her sister’s side, as long as her sister never left her, whether she was her wife, her girlfriend, her toy, or her dog, Yun Wenzhou simply didn’t care.

“Mhm. I’m Sister’s toy. Sister, why don’t you play with me until I break tonight too?”
