Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 403 Blessing or a Curse Part 2

Seki's shoulders trembled as she hugged her own body, trying to make sense of her disoriented state.

She couldn't remember the details of what happened after she lost consciousness.

Slowly, she turned her gaze to the figure responsible for her suffering.

But instead of the anger she expected, a wave of fear washed over her.

Nobu was on the ground, lifeless. His body had no visible wounds, but his face was twisted in sheer terror.

Seki stared at the sight, and ...

"That's what you get! You disgusting pig!" Seki shouted, her voice trembling with a mix of relief and excitement.

Laughter burst from her, rough and uncontrollable.

Seeing him dead brought extreme joy to her heart. She didn't even care how he had died.

However--

A sharp pain made her wince, and she noticed droplets of dry blood on the floor.

It didn't take long for her to realize what had happened.

THUD!

She slumped down on her bed, her whole body shaking as she covered her face with both hands.

"No… No… No.." She cried nonstop, her sobs coming out in muffled, painful bursts.

Tears soaked through her fingers and onto the bed. Her shoulders shook with each cry, her emotions pouring out all at once.

In that moment, she felt overwhelmed by everything she had been through.

KNOCK! KNOCK ! KNOCK

Suddenly, a noise from the door jolted her out of her tears, sending her into a panic.

'No, I can't let anyone know what happened here!' she thought frantically.

She quickly changed her clothes and rushed to clean up the blood on the floor. Determined to protect her reputation.

After fixing her hair, she opened the door to find a familiar face.

"What happened?" Celine asked, noticing Seki's troubled face.

"Celine-sama!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug.

"What happened? Did someone hurt you?"

Seki stepped aside to reveal Nobu's lifeless body.

"He tried to force his way to me… I had to… I had to…" She began to sob, her voice breaking.

"It's okay!" Celine said, pulling her into a comforting hug again.

"It's not your fault. You only protected yourself," she reassured her, trying to ease the pain.

Both women hugged each other, their embrace providing some comfort.

"What's with all the noise?" Reign asked, interrupting their moment.

"Sunny, Nobu tried to assault Seki. She had no choice but to defend herself," Celine explained quickly.

'Assault? That was like an hour ago,' he thought to himself.

From what he remembered, it wasn't just a "try"—Nobu had already been in the act.

But he chose not to mention it.

He didn't care much about the specifics of what had happened to her. As long as she could still be of use to him in the East, that was all that mattered.

As for Nobu, he reaped what he sowed—literally.

"I see," Reign said with a calm and unreadable tone.

Seki nodded weakly, her tears still flowing. "Yes, Sunny! He tried to force himself on me, and I had to… I had to protect myself before he could..."

Reign looked at her with a detached expression, puzzled by why she felt the need to explain herself so strongly. It wasn't as if he cared about her feelings.

Celine noticed his cold, indifferent reaction and couldn't help but feel pity for Seki.

Reign was as heartless as a stone when it came to things he deemed unimportant.

"Well, there's not much we can do now. It's best to report this to the train staff. We can't have you staying here with a dead body."

Seki realized just how insignificant she was to him. If something like this had happened to Celine, he would probably be furious.

Noticing the cold expression on his face, Celine decided to take action before he could say anything unnecessary.

"Sunny, we need to call someone to handle this situation," she said firmly. "Can you contact the train staff?"

Reign, clearly not a fan of the prospect of dealing with a distraught woman, gave a nod.

He wandered through the train's corridors until he found a staff member.

"There's been an incident," he reported briefly. "A passenger is dead, and we need to handle it quickly and quietly."

The train employee, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded and contacted the rest of the team.

Within minutes, a small group of employees followed him.

Back in the cabin, Celine remained with Seki, who was still trembling and trying to regain her composure.

The train staff entered the room with a serious look. They quickly spotted the corpse and worked carefully to avoid messing up the room.

They unzipped a black body bag and began moving the corpse.

The process was quick and orderly, done to make sure it didn't disturb the other passengers.

Celine watched with a heavy heart as the staff did their work.

She was thankful for how quickly they moved, but she couldn't shake her sadness for Seki, who had just been through such a terrible experience.

The train employees finished their work, took down a report of what happened, and left the room, leaving the three of them alone.

Normally, such cases would be investigated, but incidents like this were usually brushed aside. No one had the time or energy to deal with an already dead body.

In addition, Nobu was found in the victim's room. Given her statement, it was highly likely that she was telling the truth.

"It's taken care of," Reign broke the silence.

"I'm going back to my room. Celine, you should give her some space," he commanded.

"But—" she started to protest, but Seki grabbed her shoulder and smiled.

"Go, he's right. I need some time alone."

Celine sighed and didn't argue. "Get some sleep,"

When the two left the cabin, Seki stared at the door for a few seconds.

Her face showed deep sadness for a moment, but then it abruptly changed.

'Those two are not humans,' she muttered to herself, her eyes narrowing as a sinister smile crept across her face.

'This is the first time I've seen souls like that. It looks like this trip won't be boring after all,'
