Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain

Chapter 126 Laylah And Daziro...

?

Back at the entrance to the research center, Laylah, Ryrlia, and the other children watched the armed men aim their guns at them, and this frightened them.

"Oi! Ryrlia, what's the next plan?"

"Plan? We will be lucky if we don't die, do you think I have a plan?"

Laylah frowned, the current situation made her feel desperate.

"FIRE!"

Someone's voice rang out, the armed men then opened fire on them.

Of course, these children were all test subjects so they wouldn't kill them.

The ammunition that was fired were all anesthetic needles. Ryrlia, seeing this, raised her hand…

Ptks!

Suddenly, a needle suddenly hit Ryrlia's neck from behind.

Ryrlia slowly turned her head to see a young girl holding a small gun, pointed at her.

Her face was so calm that it scared others.

"Damn it!" Ryrlia only had time to say a word before collapsing.

Laylah was very angry as she witnessed this, she didn't think that among the children here there was a spy.

She wanted to avenge Ryrlia but it was all too late. As Laylah also felt a needle in her back.

Laylah turned her head, at this point, she realized that it seemed that there was more than just one spy.

Although Laylah fell on the ground she could still see other children falling to the ground and become unconscious.

'Could it be… is everything meaningless?'

'Is Alissa's efforts also pointless?'

Laylah thought to herself, she didn't accept this result in her heart but she could do nothing but lie on the ground.

Because Laylah's physical strength was quite high, the anesthetic hadn't caused her to lose consciousness.

She could still clearly hear what was going on around her. Apart from the screams of the children, Laylah also heard the screams of other people.

'Wait!'

Laylah suddenly realized something, she tried to open her eyes, and look towards the door. When she did she saw something horrifying .

On the wall, on the ground, everywhere were countless blood-red tentacles resembling tree roots. Those tentacles lunged towards the  army, and gunshots rang out continuously.

"Ah!"

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

"Run!"

"Monster… monster!"

"Rescue me! Help me!"

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Screams and chaotic gunfire rang out, and after a while, everything fell silent. At this moment Laylah became woozy.

"Laylah!"

'Who…who is calling me…' Laylah wanted to respond but she couldn't speak, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

However, the voice that called her sounded so familiar, and this made Laylah feel extremely safe.

'Ah…Alissa?'

"Laylah… I don't have much time left. You and Ryrlia try to have a happy life. Never come back to this place…"

Laylah used all her strength to open her eyes, she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her.

Laylah could only see that it was a red creature, and that countless red tentacles sprouted from the creature's body.

"Remember what I said.. never come back to this place."

Then… Laylah fell asleep.

"Heh!?" Laylah suddenly woke up, she looked around and discovered that she was next to a highway.

Beside her was Ryrlia who hadn't regained consciousness yet because Ryrlia's physical strength was weaker than her's, therefore, the effect of the anesthetic is stronger for her.

Laylah approached, and checked on Ryrlia, seeing that Ryrlia was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Laylah remembered the red shadow with countless tentacles that appeared before she lost consciousness.

'Could it be… is that Alissa?'

Laylah looked into the distance, wondering where Alissa was and if she was still alive.

'Alissa, even if you are no longer here, Ryrlia and I will surely find you...'

…

Claps! Claps! Claps!

The sound of clapping startled Laylah awake. She found herself back to reality.

"This place is…" Laylah found herself standing in a cell and knew something had just happened.

"Hahaha… a good memory, Laylah…"

Daziro's voice rang out, he sat on a table, and repeatedly clapped his hands. His face was so thin that it was like skin and bones, and his eyes were sunken in.

However, in those two eyes were countless irises that made anyone who looked at them scared.

"You..." Laylah was startled, she didn't know why she was in the cell, and how she entered it when the door of the room was still closed: "Could it be… you hypnotized me?"

"Ah! It's not exactly hypnosis either." Daziro laughed and said: "Did you know that there are certain frequencies of sound that make people feel like using drugs."

"In the past, especially, it reminded listeners of the memories they were most impressed with."

"Don't talk about nonsense, Daziro, what do you want?" Laylah frowned.

Daziro pointed to the room door that had been opened and said, "I want to show the world that… I'll be back."

Laylah stared at him for a long time and then said, "Daziro, I don't understand why you want to do that? Is the research at this research center not good enough?"

"In the end, what do you want to achieve, Daziro?"

"Hmm! Laylah, you don't understand what this world is facing." Daziro was suddenly serious, his voice tranquil.

"What do you mean?"

Daziro suddenly asked, "Laylah, do you believe there is justice in this world?"

"I mean… a place where people live together peacefully. No killing, no bloodshed, no war.:

Laylah shook her head: "There is no peace in this world, Daziro. All peace is only a silent preparation for a more terrible battle to come."

"Hahaha… you're the same as you were years ago, Laylah. You and Ryrlia, the two  experimental subjects with potential." Daziro smiled and said, "You and Ryrlia are my hope for a peaceful and just world."

Laylah silently looked at Daziro, and did not say anything.

Daziro continued: "In the past, I was a doctor serving in the army. On the surface or at least in the media, the world was at peace."

"However, the reality was much more horrifying. Countless wars have been fought, countless plots were being made."

"I saw a lot of blood, blood and corpses everywhere. Accompanied by the screams and cries of the soldiers on the battlefield."

"In the military hospital, I take on a very noble mission... to kill people."

"Soldiers who were so badly injured that continuing to live was torture for them. That's why a mission was given to me, to free those people."

"So that they can end the pain and fatigue caused by war. I  help them get a good night's sleep."

"At that time, I wondered if this world was worth living in. Whether what humanity is doing is right or wrong."

"At that moment, a thought popped into my head. Everyone wants to rule this world, people fighting each other for so many years still haven't decided who or what organization will be at the top of this world."

"What if… what if a god appeared and took over the world?"

"Everyone will be led by that god. No more suffering or war, no more sickness or death. Everyone's life will be filled with happiness."

"Humans worship the gods also because they want those things. So… what if I create a god?"

"A god with the power to make humanity peaceful, no more war, no more greed."

"Laylah… you and Ryrlia will help me do that."

Daziro now laughed ferociously, his face no different from the faces of monsters in horror movies.

Laylah angrily said, "I just want to know if Alissa is still alive or not."

"Alissa? Ah! Do you want to hear the good news or bad news?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hahaha… the good news is she's still alive."

Laylah kept silent, she didn't think Daziro was good enough to comfort her with his lies.

"And the bad news… she can no longer live in human form."

"You…" Laylah got angry, she swung her fist over the bars.

BAM!

The bars trembled violently, however, contrary to Laylah's thoughts, the bars did not break. It just trembled then stood still.

"Hahaha… Laylah, do you think I'm stupid?" Daziro smiled scornfully: "While you were hypnotized by me, I realized that your strength was far superior to before. That is why I have adjusted this cage to be an S-class experimental object cage."

"Don't think that you can break it with just your fists. Even ballistics won't be able to break it, so you can safely stay inside."

"Bastard!" Laylah was angry, her eyes were filled with murderous intent that made everyone else feel fear.

"Hahaha… Laylah, to become a God, you need to give up everything. Your relationships, your feelings, even your compassion."

"Shut up! I don't need to become a god, I just need to…"

"Laylah… you don't have any dreams, do you?" Daziro looked at her with sharp eyes.

Laylah was startled hearing that.

"Just as I thought. You are just a failed experiment after all. You have too many emotions, Laylah, emotions are unnecessary for a test subject."

"You want to be human, but you don't have a dream. You are neither human nor a failed product."

"Laylah… the only place you truly belong is in the dump?"

Laylah suddenly fell silent, it seemed that she was recalling some long-buried memories. Due to this Daziro's gaze began to frighten her.

Laylah recalled the horrible experiments, and even the times when Daziro tortured her.

"AAAA!!!" Laylah cried out miserably.

"This place!" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Daziro startling him.

He turned his head and saw an ax suddenly appear, and slash at his neck.

PTKS!

The sound of flesh being cut rang out, the blade of the ax easily cut through Daziro's neck as if it had just cut a cake.

Daziro's head flew up, then fell to the ground. Until now, he did not understand why the ax appeared.

"Hi… Hikaru?" As Laylah saw Hikaru she was both excited and worried at the same time.

Hikaru, holding the ax, pointed it at Laylah and said: "Apart from me… no one is allowed to bully you ."

Layla: "…"
