I Use a Chainsaw to Conquer the Yandere Male Lead - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I poisoned him.

Chen Zhi: [She really does like me. Even the poison is sweet.]

Favorability +10.

I stabbed him.

Chen Zhi: [She’s so close. She smells so good. Ah… do I smell sweaty?]

Favorability +10.

I threw a hair dryer into his bathtub.

Chen Zhi: [This is so embarrassing. She saw me. Will she like my body?]

Favorability +9.

At the end of my rope, I shoved him into a corner and put on my fiercest face.

“You think just because you can revive infinitely, I can’t do anything to you, right? What if I tie up your arms and legs, bind you to a heavy rock, and push you into a lake?”

The faint smile at the corner of Chen Zhi’s mouth vanished. His bright black eyes stared straight at me.

“Scared now?”

Chen Zhi said nothing. He only watched me quietly, his dark pupils reflecting my bristling, furious state.

“Infinite revival isn’t good. You killing me makes me very happy.”

Chen Zhi said it in a small voice.

The System’s voice rang in my ear: [Host, Host, because of the bug in the Male Lead’s special constitution, I checked the database and found that he was originally supposed to be a testing NPC for a horror game. But later, it seems there was a problem with his emotional module, and the testers felt it was too inhumane, so they transferred him into this romance novel instead~]

Being a former testing NPC meant Chen Zhi had died countless times in horror games, and all his pain had been turned into strings of cold data.

The System’s compilation of Chen Zhi’s death videos kept flashing before my eyes, the progress bar rolling forward.

At last, it froze on the scene of his first death.

He had been locked inside a black box where he could only stay curled up, and suffocated to death.

I had seen plenty of death in the apocalypse, but it had all been blood and gore, wide-open violence in all its brutality.

This kind of torturous death made my insides crawl.

[Actually, a testing NPC’s memories are supposed to be erased after every test. But for some reason, Chen Zhi seems to resist memory deletion extremely strongly. That’s why he remembers everything…]

Even the System couldn’t bear to continue.

When Chen Zhi saw I wasn’t speaking, he looked at me pitifully and tugged at my sleeve.

I flicked him hard on the forehead, making tears well up in his puppy-dog eyes.

“Forgetting would be a good thing for you.”

Chapter 5

Chen Zhi’s Favorability finally stopped at 99.9.

After that, the number refused to move. Even when it twitched once in a while, it would only land on some miserable decimal that made anyone with OCD want to scream.

Damn it. Was this Favorability score a Pinduoduo referral campaign? It shot up like crazy in the early stages, but toward the end, getting it to budge was harder than making an eight-year-old mutt go for a walk.

I was too lazy to keep killing Chen Zhi, and that only made him clingier.

Honestly, schoolwork was already giving me enough of a headache.

I’d spent the previous month busy knifing Chen Zhi, so I’d fallen behind on a lot of classes.

On top of that, I hadn’t studied in a very long time, and most of what I knew had long since vanished from my brain.

“Don’t move. Stand right there!”

Chen Zhi followed behind me. He blinked, just about to take a step, only for me to glare him back into place.

Even the tail behind him stopped wagging.

But after I walked forward for five minutes and looked back, Chen Zhi was still a good distance away from me, yet where he stood now was already miles from the spot I’d told him to stay in.

When I walked, Chen Zhi followed.

When I turned around, Chen Zhi stood still.

Was he playing Red Light, Green Light with me?!

In the end, I came up with a plan.

“If you can stand here without moving and count from zero to one thousand, I’ll come back and take you to my house.”

I smiled, my little canine teeth sharp, my face the picture of sincerity.

Chen Zhi seemed a little tempted.

“You won’t lie to me, right?”

His black pupils were clear and transparent, like a child’s.

“I won’t lie.”

As if!

While Chen Zhi stood there stupidly counting, I had already bolted. He could count to a thousand or ten thousand for all I cared. I wasn’t coming back!
