Chapter 3: Who Made Himself an Evil God?

On the other side, Fuyeli, whose innocence had been “defiled,” did not know how long she had been flying.

She felt itching with rage in her heart, but she was utterly helpless.

There was no helping it; who told her to be so weak, so devoid of power…

Because she had been sealed in this game for a long time, her strength was a far cry from what it used to be.

The pressure she emitted might be somewhat useful against monsters, but it was truly ineffective against the man who had just struck her with a club without a word!

However, thinking of how she had waited here for so long without seeing a single person, Fuyeli slumped onto a tree branch, completely exhausted.

“It was so hard to find a sacrifice… oh wait, a player.”

“It was so hard to find someone I could hold a normal conversation with.”

“Clearly, two doses of happiness should have combined into an even greater happiness.”

“But why, why did it turn out like this?”

Fuyeli could not help but feel physically and mentally drained.

However, to give credit where it was due, there were two pieces of very good news.

The other party had made contact with her body, which meant her brand had already been planted upon him.

From now on, whether in the real world or the game world, she could lecherously… monitor his every move.

This counted as good news for her.

Although she had been stripped by him, overall, this person was a prey that had fallen into her trap; there was no way he could escape the palm of her hand.

With his soul gradually sinking under the gaze of an evil god, his thoughts numbing bit by bit, and his flesh turning into a puppet…

This kind of thing was simply… simply wonderful!

A look of “the plan is succeeding” appeared on Fuyeli’s face.

Beyond that, there was another piece of good news.

Although she hadn’t managed to ask him for his identity, she had already obtained this man’s file through the brand.

Even though she had just been defeated in one hit by him, one thing that could not be denied was that, judging by his proficient tactical roll, this man was definitely a trained professional.

“I really want to see what kind of toy… you are?”

Looking at the file, the expression on Fuyeli’s face froze completely.

This was no ordinary file.

First, a lot of the information, including his name and age, had been redacted.

Second, Fuyeli learned that the man’s code name was “Raven.”

Finally, this man named Raven was an S-tier investigator with ten years of experience, a wealth of knowledge, and a history of fighting on the front lines against monsters.

Hm… an S-tier investigator.

“Hehehehe…”

Fuyeli’s eyes looked as if they had malfunctioned as she slowly put down the file in her hand.

She only wanted to ask one thing now: could she exchange this sacrifice?

If that was not possible, would a no-questions-asked refund be acceptable?

Why on earth would a fresh, fledgling evil god, who had been locked… locked…

Locked away for so many years, run into such a troublesome annoyance!?

“Just destroy everything, hurry up.”

“I’m tired.”

The little elf sitting on the tree branch turned into snow-white ash in that moment.

No, that was wrong.

Just as Fuyeli was about to stop thinking, a bold idea flashed across her mind.

The reason S-tier investigators were powerful lay in their indomitable willpower.

The man would clearly enter this game again to investigate and gain a deeper understanding.

Then she… perhaps she only needed to find a way to shake their convictions, and then she could take advantage of the opening…

Fuyeli’s thoughts became increasingly daring, and she could not hide the smile on her face.

“System!”

“Present.”

This game world was not under Fuyeli’s control, but she could still use her permissions to change things.

For example…

Create a classic RPG script about saving a beautiful maiden and defeating an evil god, and then, along the way, subject those maidens to one scripted death after another…

Wow, that would be so wonderful and so agonizing.

Thinking of this, Fuyeli’s body turned into bubbles, and a small portion separated from her.

These few bubbles quickly turned into brand-new NPCs.

“System, help me insert these NPCs into the main story, then find a way to give them appropriate scripted deaths—the kind that are unforgettable and heart-wrenching.”

“For example, ‘I am willing to join the Midway Island.'”

“Or perhaps, ‘This is my final bullet…'”

“Yes, yes, all of that, make it all happen!”

The more she spoke, the more excited the girl became.

Toying with human hearts?

Enjoying the suffering of others?

It could not be helped… after all, wasn’t doing such things very fitting for her identity as an evil god?

…..

Returning to reality, Raven took off the game helmet from his head.

The moment he took the helmet off, he felt an inexplicable swelling in his head, as if something had been inside his brain.

He looked at the display screen on the game helmet, where a message was scrolling by.

“The system is undergoing maintenance. Maintenance time is from 11:30 PM to 12:30 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience caused…”

“It seems there is no way to log in for the time being.”

Raven sighed, and he could not help but recall Fuyeli in his mind.

He had to admit that he had been suspicious of the little elf at first, but after going through this, he started to doubt his own judgment.

After all, if the other party was truly a “Bubble Shadow,” she could never have shown that pitiful expression.

Monsters could disguise themselves and imitate, but they would never run away like a “defiled” girl.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Just as he was reminiscing, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone; it was a call from his superior.

“Hello?”

“S-tier investigator Raven, did you find any clues about the contained object ‘Bubble Shadow’?”

On the other end of the line was a very mature female voice; this person was Raven’s superior.

Hearing this voice, Raven rubbed his temples, but the swelling sensation did not subside.

He simply lay down on the examination table and stared at the ceiling, not answering the question, but asking one in return.

“Ye Xiao, do you think there is a monster that would run away like a helpless girl after being stripped of its clothes?”

“What kind of crazy talk is that?”

Clearly, Ye Xiao did not understand what Raven meant.

“Didn’t I tell you to go into the game and look for clues about ‘Bubble Shadow’? Why are you suddenly talking about such random things?”

“I’m just asking for your opinion. Do you think there is one?”

Seeing that Raven was so serious, Ye Xiao began to think.

“It’s impossible. It’s not like you haven’t seen those monsters. Let alone stripping their clothes, even if you did more, they wouldn’t have any bashful reactions. They would only hunger for your flesh and soul. So, don’t talk about them running away; they are more worried about you not falling for their traps.”

“I suppose that’s true…”

Raven scratched his head, recalling everything he had done to Fuyeli.

Although the other party was supposed to be an AI system elf, he could not help but feel a little guilty.

“Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Never mind. Just in time, I’ll send you the recording so you can figure out if the other party is ‘Bubble Shadow’.”

Raven sent over his game screen recording.

After watching it, Ye Xiao did not speak, falling into silence for a moment.

Raven, who had waited for a long time without receiving a response, could not help but ask.

“So, what do you think?”

“I think… Raven, should you go turn yourself in and try to get a reduced sentence?”
