QT: Against My Will (Volume 1)

3.17 - Kuro I Choose You - Downfall of Humanity

Just like that...

While on their way to catch Ma Jie, Ren Han's teammates looked at him with admiration and respect, laughing as they said, "You're like the second coming of Bing Shi."

"I wish." Ren Han checked his phone for any new messages from his grandma. Finding there were none, he turned on the GPS, "What a cunny rat, hiding in a patrolling police car near a factory."

That awful night shook the world; mainly the City C citizens. To catch one man, many civilians, officers, and soldiers were injured or killed in the process.

At least, Ma Jie was caught.

Bing Shi struck again, this time targeting the authorities.

Inside the group chat room.

(Guest54): You can't do it!

(Bing Shi): You refuse to help? Fine. I'll do it myself.

Soon, everyone's devices were bombarded with a spam message that appeared every five minutes for three seconds.

When one person stopped working, another followed. As if a switch had been flipped, all over the world, people began to succumb to group paranoia.

"What do we want? Bing Shi out! When do we want it? Now!"

The riots were violent and chaotic outbursts of desperation, aggression, and blame.

"No more lies, no more greed!"

"We won't stop until she's gone! Bing Shi, you don't belong!"

"No more lies, no more greed!"

Individuals started to invade supermarkets and weapon stores in a desperate attempt to stock up on food and water.

In their desperation, even the most mild-mannered individuals resorted to aggressive behavior, fighting each other for a mere scrap of bread.

It was like a Black Friday sale, but much more severe, with the stronger ones grabbing what they wanted, while the weaker ones ended up in hospitals.

Despite this, there were those who chose to use their strength to aid others, providing food and shelter for those in need.

Everyone needed a scapegoat, and Bing Shi became the target of blame. As a result, she was burdened with the title of "public enemy number one" and became the most despised person in the world.

Beneath the covers of her hotel room, Bing Shi lay curled up, trying to calm her racing mind. It was a hard pill to swallow, accepting the blame for all the chaos in the world.

Although she had not physically caused any harm, the weight of responsibility felt like a heavy burden on her shoulders. She had played with fate and now feared the unknown consequences that lay ahead.

'I hope their view will change when the apocalypse occurs.'

'Mm, that's what matters the most.'

Sitting on the rooftop of a building, a man aimed his rifle through the scope, observing the scene in the main square below. Amidst the chaos, people raised peace signs and shouted out their message, hoping someone would hear them.

"We say no to hate and fear! Bing Shi, get out! You can't hide from the pain you caused, it's time to take the blame!"

"No more lies, no more greed!"

"We won't rest, we won't cease, until Bing Shi is gone from our lives!"

Suddenly, Ziek's phone vibrated in his pocket. He retrieved it and saw a message from someone who hadn't responded since the toy box incident.

(Bing Shi): Do you hate me too?

(Ren Han): I feel nothing. Is it enough?

(Bing Shi): More than enough. Did you like my gift?

(Ren Han): I loved it. Grandma, do you want to come over? I'm curious if you grew some wrinkles since the last time I met you.

(Bing Shi): Let me spare your innocent eyes of such a dreadful sight. I have a surprise for you. Meet my buddy, Kuro.

Ziek, 'Fūck.'

'Kuro, I choose you ♪♫'

Ziek saw a little white snake suddenly appear before him. His instinct was to reach for the gun on his waist and aim it at the snake. He pulled the trigger, but the snake, named Kuro, dodged the bullet and transformed into combat-ready mode. Its sharp fangs were poised to strike at Ren Han's face, but before it could, Kuro vanished into thin air.

Bing Shi started to clap in delight.

["You avoided his bullet! Good job, Kuro. Our training didn't go to naught!"]

[He is a lot better than you host. He almost got me. ]

["Huh? But I got you plenty of times."]

She tried to save her image.

[That's because you used a speed pill.]

["Hehe."]

Her system unintentionally shattered her self-esteem.

Rooted at the spot, Ziek didn't notice the goosebumps that covered his arms. Feeling nauseatic, he picked up his phone.

'Xuan Mu is scared of snakes. No, more like he holds deep hatred toward them. Ziek knew Kuro is going to appear and that he belongs to me. He didn't scream nor run away, yet he attacked Kuro. I wonder why?'

(Bing Shi): Grandson, did I scare you?

(Ren Han): Fūck you.

'Yes, continue being like that. Don't try to imitate my Xuan Mu.'
