Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



After moving for a long time, Hikaru and Laylah were already outside the city's outskirts. Hikaru led Laylah to a road that hadn't been tarred.

This road was still a normal dirt road, there seemed to be a lot of cars passing so it was very flat. A car or a truck with a large tonnage can still easily cross this road.

There was also a barricade in front of the road, on the barrier was a rusty board.

"Private Area - No Entry!"

"This place…" Laylah frowned and said, "This seems to be the property owned by Hodai, your father."

"What?!" Hikaru was a bit startled: "How do you know this?"

"Heh?! Didn't you know about this?" Laylah looked at him puzzled.

In her mind, she felt that Hikaru must have known about this for two reasons. Firstly, Hikaru is Hodai's son.

Although Hodai doesn't really like Hikaru, and he even wanted to transfer his inheritance to Tadashi.

However, the real estate owned, invested and exploited by Hodai's wife is no secret.

Many people in the city's leadership position know this. Even many of Hodai's subordinates knew about this, so why wouldn't Hikaru know about it.

Second reason, okay, Laylah didn't want to think about that possibility because doing so would only alienate Hikaru even more.

Hikaru shook his head: "My father does not allow me to attend any of his businesses. Maybe he's afraid I'll ruin everything."

"Hahaha… but that seems to be the most wrong thing he's ever done." Layla laughed.

In fact, she was saying the truth. Laylah thought that if she was Hodai, and she found out that Hikaru wasn't as useless as she thought, she would definitely spit out a mouthful of fresh blood in anger.

However, there was no such thing as regret in this world. Suddenly, Laylah remembered Amanda.

Yes, Amanda Ryrlia is Hodai's wife, however, that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Hodai had never been able to touch Ryrlia's body, even holding hands, Hodai could not.

'What is Ryrlia doing now? Will she become a Zombie or awaken some superpower?'

Suddenly, Hikaru spoke up: "If this is my father's property, does that mean… Tadashi also knows the area?"

Laylah shook his head: "Actually, Hodai doesn't know what this area is used for."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Laylah sighed and said, "I only know through a few people. This area was formerly used as a laboratory."

"However, the government decided to cancel that experimental project so the place became abandoned."

"Then the government sold this land to Hodai. Even though on the surface the government has announced that this land belongs to Hodai, in reality, this place still belongs to the government."

Hikaru felt a bit of a headache after hearing that. In fact, he was not the smart type.

He was not good at using his brain much. Even when he was faced with complicated issues he just looked up the answers on Google.

Hikaru sighed and said, "You mean… is this still the government research headquarters?"

Laylah shook her head: "I don't know."

Hikaru: "..."

'Are you crazy? You explained for a long time, and finally you say you don't know.'

He shook his head and sighed, "Let's go in."

Hikaru remembered that in the , when Tadashi and Gray Wolf entered the area, a spider-like monster attacked them.

It had tremendous strength with skin so thick that it could withstand bullets.

However, Tadashi is the main character, so he could defeat that monster.

Hikaru kicked the barricade away, then entered the interior. Laylah suddenly frowned then shook her head, and followed behind him.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the two of them reached a cliff, surrounded by nothing unusual.

Laylah looked around, then said: "Strange, this road leads to a cliff, but this place is not wide enough for a truck to turn around."

"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked, confused.

Laylah shook her head and said, "You also see that the road just now is quite wide, enough for two trucks to move side by side."

"However, this area is very narrow, just enough for a truck to enter. Even if that truck wants to turn around, it can't do so because the place doesn't have enough space to do that."

"That means this place must have a gate or another secret passage."

Hikaru was startled, he then glanced at Laylah with wary eyes.

'With just a few pieces of information, she could guess so many things. If she's with me, I'm afraid…'

Hikaru sighed, his anxiety growing stronger. But he knew now was not the time to turn into Laylah's enemy.

At least… he would have to complete the System's hidden mission before he'll find a way to get Laylah to leave him alone.

What about the thought of using Laylah to destroy the other main characters?

Hahaha… he couldn't even defend himself if Laylah attacked him, so how could he use her to his liking?

Hikaru crossed his arms and looked at Laylah. Laylah also looked at him.

Hikaru frowned and said, "Hm? What are you looking at me for? Didn't you find the secret passage you just talked about? Show me where it is"

"Why do I have to do that? You certainly know the location of that secret gate, I don't need to act smart, right?"

Hikaru: "..."

He desperately wanted to refute Laylah's words, but in the end he could only sigh.

Hikaru went to the edge of the cliff, and found a rock that was not special. It was an ordinary rock on a cliff.

In the , Tadashi arrived here without finding any useful information.

He, like Hikaru, saw the cliff, then thought that the map Gray Wolf gave him was wrong.

But when Tadashi leaned his back against the cliff, he 'accidentally' activated the key to the secret gate.

The author described the key as a very ordinary stone, protruding from the cliff, about 1.5 meters above the ground.

There were countless stones protruding from the cliff, but Hikaru found one that caught his attention.

Hikaru touched the stone, then shoved it inside.

Crack!

A strange sound resounded, the cliff suddenly trembled, then it split open, revealing a gate more than 5 meters high, and more than 10 meters wide just like in a sci-fi movie.

Hikaru felt a little lucky that his choices were gradually becoming more accurate. No, to be more precise, he had become much luckier than before.

Perhaps thanks to his luck points, his intuition had also become as accurate as the main characters.

However, he was still unable to match the main character.

Suddenly, Hikaru glanced at Laylah, who also crossed her arms over her chest, looking at him with a calm gaze as if she had predicted this would happen.

Hikaru: "..."

Layla: "…"

Hikaru: (→ _ →)

Laylah: (← _ ←)

"What's with that look of yours?" Laylah and Hikaru said in unison.

Hikaru: "..."

Laylah suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha… it seems like you and I have the same thoughts."

"Hm… how do you feel about having a second girlfriend? I think we'll get along really well."

"Don't worry about Velys, she will definitely accept me."

Hikaru glanced at Laylah, then silently entered the path behind the gate.

"Oi! What kind of attitude is that?"

Hikaru didn't turn his head to look at her but continued to move forward. Laylah sighed, feeling a little angry.

But then she followed behind him.

Hikaru went inside, and he saw a heavy solid steel door blocking the passage.

'Strange… the didn't describe this in detail.' Hikaru thought to himself.

That's right, in the , Tadashi and Gray Wolf, after going inside, immediately encountered a spider monster ambush.

After killing the spider monster, they immediately went inside and took away all the weapons.

And of course… in the there was no mention of this place having a monolithic steel gate blocking the path.

Hikaru frowned, feeling extremely confused.

Suddenly, Laylah approached the gate, where there was an electronic cipher box.

Laylah touched the cipher pad with a strange look in her eyes. Then she suddenly entered a series of numbers, then clicked the 'confirm' button.

Ding!

A bell rang, and the monolithic steel door suddenly opened automatically.

The light inside suddenly turned on, revealing a seemingly endless tunnel behind.

Laylah slowly approached the door, and with a slightly trembling voice she said: "Hikaru… you are the first one who is about to see where I was born."

"Where were you born?" Hikaru frowned, he felt like he was about to learn some terrible secret.

"That's right. Are you excited?"

Hikaru: "..."

'Wait! Laylah says she is the result of a research, however, she is just a failed product. So…'

'Is this the place where Laylah used to live?'

After linking all the facts, Hikaru seemed to realize that he had just found a secret that had been buried after so many years.

He didn't find it strange that the armory in Tadashi's turned into a laboratory that created Laylah.

This is a chaotic world anyway, anything is possible. The plots will probably overlap, and somehow it will be logical.

Or illogical...

"So… why did you say earlier that you didn't know the way to this armory?" Hikaru frowned and said, "You… are lying to me, aren't you?"

"I wasn't! I just…"

"Enough! Laylah, you and I are just in a cooperative relationship, moreover you are withholding information like this, I don't think I can continue to cooperate with you."

Laylah heard that and fell silent. She really wanted to punch Hikaru in the face. He also wanted to push her away now while she was trying to move closer to him.

"You… are thinking too much. It happened more than 25 years ago, how can I remember everything clearly?"

"Ah! You don't remember everything so why do you remember the password of this gate?" Hikaru sneered: "Laylah, you don't have to lie."

"It's normal for a five-year-old girl to not be able to clearly remember the way home. But that little girl can clearly remember the password of this gate."

"Even a sci-fi movie wouldn't have such illogical scenes, Laylah."

Laylah sighed, she didn't know how to explain it to him…

BAM!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out from the end of the tunnel, and the lights illuminating the tunnel flickered continuously.

Laylah heard the sound and shouted in fear, "Hikaru, run away from here, hurry."
