My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World

Chapter 733 - 644: Apocalypse Date (6)

Upon hearing this, Riko Satou froze, then a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Really?"

"Really, really, you can leave." Chichu Chun spread their hands, making way.

"Great!"

"I mean... thank you."

Riko Satou, with an excited and anxious tone, hugged the bag tightly against her chest and got up.

"You’re welcome."

Riko Satou lowered her head and hurriedly walked past Chichu Chun.

At this moment, her expression twisted violently, and she lunged towards Chichu Chun’s neck with sharp claws, only to have Chichu Chun, who anticipated her move, grab her wrist.

Riko Satou, with reddened eyes, froze, trying to shake off Chichu Chun’s grip, but found it as unshakeable as steel pincers.

With a casual tug, Chichu Chun tore off Riko Satou’s entire arm, blood gushed like a fountain.

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry!" Staring at her now empty left hand, Riko Satou screamed while retreating, her expression filled with extreme fear.

"I couldn’t control myself, I didn’t mean to attack you, I’m sorry!"

"What’s this about controlling yourself or not." Chichu Chun flung their hand, slowly approaching Riko Satou.

"You’re inherently part of the Insect Race, it’s in your nature, like all of the Insect Race, isn’t it?"

As if stung to her nerves, Riko Satou snarled and struggled,

"I’m not from the Insect Race, I’m human, I was turned into this by them!"

"How can you say that about me? You’re neither human nor ghost, what difference is there between us? Aren’t you the same as me?"

"It seems you’re quite ill." Chichu Chun shook the bag in their hand.

Riko Satou froze, hurriedly feeling around, only to realize that the bag she had been protecting was somehow in Chichu Chun’s possession, a nameless suffocating feeling surged up.

Chichu Chun tore open the seal of the bag, a thick stench of rot and blood wafted out, so overpowering it was nauseating...

Her stomach churned, as if recalling some scene, inducing such a strong physiological reaction that Riko Satou began to gag helplessly, her vision growing blurry.

"Don’t open it..." Riko Satou’s trembling voice carried a hint of a sob, her tone nearly pleading.

"I beg you."

Chichu Chun poured out the "food" from the bag, flies buzzed over the already rotting flesh, splattering everywhere, a murky eyeball rolled to Riko Satou’s feet.

A nauseating stench made Riko Satou retch even more severely, silently crying.

"It’s not like this..."

Scarlet memories flashed like scenes, like one red thorn piercing deep into her eyes, blood dripped on the edge of the images.

She saw herself losing control, crashing through a culture vessel, rushing towards a terrified woman.

She saw herself committing slaughter in the research station, figures who had cared for her collapsing into pools of blood.

She saw her frail self turning, a man with a look of despair stood behind her, raising a gun to his own head.

"It’s not like this..." These memories flooded Riko Satou’s mind, causing her such pain that she tore at her own hair, saliva dripping to the ground.

"I didn’t kill her... I didn’t..."

"I can understand all your memories through pheromones, you can’t hide from me."

"To think that the 075 Research Station actually used human embryos combined with Insect Race genes to breed them."

The other wasn’t entirely lying, but that woman named Wudu Riko was already dead, the man called Satou Sanbe out of guilt took his own life, and the test subject they studied.

Which was Riko Satou before Chichu Chun, after losing control, she killed all the researchers and escaped the lab.

That woman truly regarded Riko Satou as her daughter, nurturing this Insect Race girl with emotion, but eventually she was brutally killed by the out-of-control Riko Satou.

Due to the conflict between human emotions and the insect genes deep within her bones, a series of protective mechanisms were triggered, leading Riko Satou to imagine non-existent memories, believing she was attacked by the Insect Race and turned into her current form.

"How pathetic." Chichu Chun said softly.

"I want to be human..." Riko Satou cried out, "I don’t want to be a monster."

"I’ve really, really tried hard to be the good child in my mother’s eyes."

"Every time I scored top in various tests, not causing her trouble, why does everyone always look at me like I’m different?"

"Because you’re a monster."

Chichu Chun leaned down, extending their arms over the girl’s shoulders, gently holding Riko Satou, burying her head in their embrace, whispering by her ear.

"A monster is just a monster, always an outsider in others’ eyes, forever covered in thorns, bruised and battered."

"Trying to integrate into this world only brings harm to those around you."

"What should I do?"

Before Riko Satou could finish speaking, her chest burst open with blood marks, her eyes flickered, turning bleak. The muzzle of Chichu Chun was pressed against her chest wound, their eyes indifferent.

"Monsters don’t need to prove themselves."

"Don’t burden others, learn to please yourself."

"To be different is the best mark of a monster, unbound, treading outside the lines."

"A monster only needs to..."

Chichu Chun stood up, their gaze unwavering. Riko Satou slowly fell in front of them.

"Walk alone on a thorny path."

...

In Chichu Chun’s memory, everything was like it was here. It was a pitch-black, huge cinema. Her life experiences played on the screen, the seats crowded with people, the theater sometimes noisy, sometimes quiet. The audience would come and go, some leaving and never returning, others swallowed by the darkness behind, vanishing.

Benjamin, Sparrow, Owl, Night Owl, Yukawa Maki, and Sebastian, they all disappeared, once they left this cinema, they never appeared again.

Perhaps in the future, Sister Tang, Sister Youyou, Angelina, and Xu Xiaoyou, as well as everyone in the Light Chasing Garden, will also disappear, the Xuedong Kui, who has always treated her specially, will also disappear, everyone will vanish.

The world will be destroyed someday, the film on the screen will end, no matter how tumultuous the life of the protagonist, it will only leave a black curtain, the supporting characters all finishing their parts. The moment the lights come on, the audience in the cinema rises to pay their respects, then disperse into crowds.

Night slowly deepened.

Chichu Chun leaned her head on Xu Xiaoyou’s shoulder, lost in thought.

She had thought, if one day, everyone familiar would disappear, what should she do then?

If it were her.

She probably wouldn’t seek them out, right?

Even if she could find everyone, what about a hundred years from now, a thousand years, ten thousand years later, everyone would still disappear, there would be a day she could no longer find them.

If that’s the case, then she might as well not look for anyone from the start, if the world is on the brink of ruin, then save the world first. After saving the world, if she still felt bored, she would bring more people home before the autumn leaves fell, make this world better.

Chichu Chun’s mind was a mess, she simply stopped thinking about these things, tossing them all aside.

After all, she was heartless, she’d think of a solution once those things actually happened.

Chichu Chun thought, lightly bumping her head against Xu Xiaoyou’s shoulder, her gaze fixed on the screen.

The movie was about to begin.
