Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 19

Moonlight streamed through the window, draping the girl in a delicate veil.

The face, once twisted with paranoia and madness, now appeared a touch softer.

She reached out and covered Fang Senran’s face, her voice light but filled with deep infatuation.

“I know you’re lying to me, but why won’t you lie to me for a lifetime?”

“I… mm…”

Fang Senran hadn’t finished speaking when the hand covering his face suddenly paused, then gripped his neck and lifted him up.

The obsessed, affectionate gaze vanished, replaced by a pair of eerie, chilling eyes.

The girl spoke coldly, “Once you’ve given me something, there’s no reason to take it back.”

Ruan Tian wanted to twist Fang Senran’s neck right then, but her hand involuntarily loosened its grip.

In her mind, a figure was constantly fighting her for control of her body.

Ruan Tian knew who she was.

One wanted to strike ruthlessly, the other desperately tried to stop her. Her body twisted between the two forces, her eyes flickering between ferocity and confusion.

Lin Zhixia didn’t know what kind of madness had seized the girl before her, but she knew this was the perfect chance to escape.

Seizing the moment, she dragged the barely breathing Fang Senran with one hand and grabbed Lin Father with the other, then began to run outside.

Ruan Tian used some tricks to suppress the other presence.

By then, Lin Zhixia and the others had already run far away, leaving only shrinking silhouettes in her sight.

“Trying to run? It won’t be that easy.”

Ruan Tian lowered her gaze, sweeping over the shards of glass scattered on the floor. With a flick of her fingertips, two of the sharpest pieces were pinched in her palm. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes as she flicked her wrist.

The shards sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, shooting toward the three fleeing figures.

Just as Lin Father thought they had escaped disaster and was about to catch his breath, he caught a glimpse of two flashes of silver out of the corner of his eye-aimed straight at Lin Zhixia and Fang Senran.

“Zhixia, watch out…”

Lin Father used the Teleportation Card, reacting purely on instinct as he lunged forward to shield Lin Zhixia.

At the same moment, the glass shards embedded themselves into Lin Father’s flesh.

Lin Father grunted, his body swaying as blood quickly soaked through his clothes, staining his back red.

“Dad…”

Lin Zhixia hurried to support Lin Father, but when her hand touched his back, she felt a patch of warm, sticky wetness.

“Dad, hold on, I still have recovery serum, just hold on…”

Lin Zhixia propped Lin Father up in the corner by the wall, fumbling to take out the medicine and administer it.

Lin Father grabbed her wrist and shook his head. “Zhixia, listen to me.”

“Dad might… not make it… You have to… take care…”

Before he could finish, his head slowly drooped, and the hand resting on Lin Zhixia’s fell away.

“Dad.”

Lin Zhixia quickly grasped Lin Father’s falling hand.

“Don’t leave me alone.”

She buried her face in the back of Lin Father’s hand, her shoulders trembling slightly. She sobbed in a suppressed, barely audible way, never daring to cry out loud.

Fang Senran leaned against the corner, using the moment to quickly tend to his own wounds.

He looked at Lin Zhixia’s frail figure, as if she were a leaf that could be blown away at any moment, and his heart ached for her.

Fang Senran slowly moved to Lin Zhixia’s side, gently embracing her and comforting her softly:

“Zhixia, that woman could come after us at any moment. It’s dangerous here-we need to leave.”

Lin Zhixia didn’t move, only clutching Lin Father’s hand tighter.

In one night, her mother was gone, her father was gone…

The two people who loved her most were both gone.

Lin Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing…

Why didn’t she just kill her back then?

Lin Zhixia had already regretted it a thousand times in her heart.
There is no cure for regret in this world.

Her father and mother will never come back to life.

Lin Zhixia intends to kill them-whether it’s Lin Zhiqing or Ruan Tian, she will personally kill them to avenge her parents.

Fang Senran knew Lin Zhixia was feeling terrible, but he still comforted her gently and patiently: “Xiaxia, I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to be sad.”

“Uncle protected you with his life. He surely hoped you could live safely. Your safety is the most important thing right now.”

“Let’s go for now. Tomorrow, I’ll find someone to handle Uncle and Aunt’s remains. I know you want revenge. I’ll help you-whatever you decide to do, I’ll help you.”

Lin Zhixia, who had been silent, finally reacted. Her eyes were red as she looked at him, but she didn’t say a word.

This broken and helpless Lin Zhixia was a first for Fang Senran. It felt as if something gently clenched his heart, making it ache and go soft.

“Xiaxia…”

Lin Zhixia looked at Fang Senran. “Will you stay with me forever?”

“I will,” Fang Senran answered as he held her, certainty in his voice.

He thought, even if Lin Zhixia wanted him to die for her now, he would be willing.

“You’re all I have left.”

Lin Zhixia buried herself in his shoulder, her voice trembling, with a heavy nasal tone.

But in the shadow of her lowered gaze, there was no weakness in her eyes, only deep hatred.

Fang Senran only sensed her fragility. He tightened his arms around her and continued to coax her gently and patiently.

Only when Lin Zhixia’s emotions had mostly settled did Fang Senran take the others and leave.

······

Meanwhile, Ruan Tian had no intention of giving chase.

She had more important things to deal with right now.

Her body suddenly losing control-such an uncontrollable accident was already her bottom line.

A trace of coldness flashed through Ruan Tian’s eyes, and the atmosphere around her turned oppressive; even the air seemed to grow heavier.

“001, come out.”

This time, 001 did not appear as usual, nor did it respond at all.

Ruan Tian stood in the center of the courtyard. The night breeze tossed her black hair, and as a few strands brushed her cheek, she tilted her head slightly, the corner of her lips curving in a barely-there, mocking smile.

“Or maybe I should call you Lin Zhiqing.”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but in the stillness of the night it sent out quiet ripples.

All around, only the sound of wind rustling the leaves remained. The moonlight stretched her shadow long on the ground, like a silent mark.

Still, there was no answer – only the night wind blew more fiercely.

The Lin family lived in a detached courtyard, and the neighbors were at some distance.

Still, you could see that the lights in the houses on both sides were on, but their curtains were tightly drawn, not letting out even a crack of light.

No matter how much commotion they’d made tonight, no one bothered to come over for a look.

Self-preservation is the rule of Survival in this world.

Ruan Tian turned and entered the house, her voice calm and steady: “It doesn’t matter if you won’t admit it. Just listen to what I have to say.”

“Ever since I took over this body, you’ve been here.”

“You use a mechanical voice to cover your real one, tell me some basic game knowledge, and try to make me believe you’re really a system.”

The living room was a complete mess: overturned tables and chairs, shattered porcelain scattered everywhere.

Ruan Tian kept her gaze straight ahead and went directly upstairs.

Compared to the chaos downstairs, the second floor was almost untouched.

Ruan Tian entered her room, lay down on the soft bed, and continued the topic she hadn’t finished earlier.

“You think you’re acting well.”

“But I think your performance is really poor.”

“In fact, it’s clumsy.”
