Your Madwoman Is Also Your Monster

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

When the gunfire rang out, my speed was faster than ever before!

Screech—!

Beneath my feet, the metal floor let out a piercing screech of friction as I pushed off!

Master's body was held tightly in my arms!

His blood was warm, soaking through my hoodie and clinging stickily to my chest...

So warm!

I leaped up and crashed into the adjacent room with a thud!

Within 0.01 seconds, I calculated the optimal hiding spot—

The back of the innermost locker was a visual blind spot!

I pushed off the ground, holding Master as I instantly bounded into that corner!

Crouching down, I gently placed him on the floor.

On Master's forehead, that bloody hole was still oozing blood, dyeing his entire face red.

His eyes were still open, and the corners of his mouth still held that curve.

His eyes were looking at me!

His soul...

Was also using my eyes to watch all of this!

Something was pushing up in my throat.

Was it a laugh?

No, it wasn't.

Was it?

...Hehe!

...I can't laugh!

Master is dead...

Master... is dead!!!

Master...

I laid down, my lips pressed against Master's ear...

Trembling, despairing:

I've hidden your body... right here!

Even if Master is already dead...

Even if Master is currently using my eyes to watch everything...!

Master's body...

My voice was shaking!

Will absolutely not be defiled by the people outside!!

Outside, the footsteps had already arrived.

Uniform and hurried!

My breathing was heavy and fast!

My vision was soaked in crimson!

...They're here!!

When the beams of the tactical flashlights swept over, I pushed off the ground!

Swish!

I practically glided out parallel to the floor!

Before those men could even pull their triggers, I had already...

Reached them!

Vzzzt—!

A crimson beam tore through the air!

The blade fell as my hand moved!

And so...

The expressionless face in front of me flew into the air.

Separated from his body.

His eyes still held that same emptiness.

One!

Something warm splattered onto my face, mixing with Master's already cooling blood.

Time seemed to...

Slow down in this instant!

In the vision of my left eye...

Countless data streams were flashing madly!

They were crimson!

The crimson of my right eye had completed its devouring of my left eye's deep blue!

The native core had been dyed red!

Within this expanse of crimson, I could see everything about them!

Their movements were slow and clear!

The shift of their gazes, the minute twitches of their muscles, the trajectory of their fingers moving on the triggers...

I calculated all their movements for the next two seconds!

Their muzzles hadn't even been raised yet, but the bullet trajectories were already drawn out in advance within my vision!

My right leg pivoted in a half-arc on the metal floor, my body tilting to the left by exactly seventeen degrees...

Bang, bang, bang!

Gunshots rang out, the bullets grazing past my body!

They were still staring at the spot where I had just been standing.

It wasn't until one of them looked up that they finally realized...

I was already on the ceiling.

My five fingers dug into the metal seams of the ceiling!

I hung upside down, staring fixedly at the backs of their heads!

My vision was still turning red! Redder and redder!

Sizzle—!

The laser blade carved a crimson cross in midair!

Blood bloomed!

Two!

Tapping my toes on a shoulder that had yet to fall, I used the momentum to lunge forward!

The laser blade swept horizontally!

In the pupils of the third falling man, I saw...

On that face that Master liked the most, the corners of the mouth were grinning! Grinning so widely!

Three!

Six, minus, three!!

There was still gunfire in the corridor.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Bullets shot at me from behind!

I twisted my body!

And slipped right through the gaps between the bullets!

My body was heating up!

The remaining three guns aimed at me simultaneously.

I saw three index fingers start to pull their triggers at the same time, the trajectories of three bullets forming in my calculations...

Too! Slow!

The trigger travel took fractions of a second!

The firing pin striking the primer took even smaller fractions of a second!

The time it took for the bullets to spin out of the barrel was even longer!

But my laser blade...

Only needed an instant.

Vzzzt—

A crimson afterimage was left in the air.

Three men, sliced in half at the waist.

As their upper and lower bodies slid apart, the gunshots finally rang out.

Bang, bang, bang!

The bullets all missed, hitting the walls and the ceiling!

Four, five, six!

I tilted my head, looking at the carnage on the floor...

My body was trembling!

The laser blade in my hand was vibrating with a buzzing sound!

In my vision, the crimson data streams sped up into a crimson river!

I stared at those remains on the floor...

The urge to scream and laugh out loud was becoming impossible to suppress!

But...

I can't scream, I can't laugh!

Master is dead, I should be in despair...

But I'm so excited!

There were two voices screaming in my head!

One was saying Master is dead, why aren't you crying!

The other was saying Master is watching you, you killed them so beautifully!!!

Master...

Did you see that!

These ghosts, they have the same hearts, the same livers, the same lungs as Master!

Liguang didn't lie to Master, right!

Liguang is really amazing, right!

Master, quickly praise Liguang!

Hurry and praise Liguang!!

Master...

I abruptly turned around, facing the corner where Master was hidden...

And fell to my knees!

Thud!

My forehead slammed heavily against the metal floor, the impact making the entire ground shudder!

I propped myself up with both hands, my fingers gripping the metal plates, my face aimed at the floor...

Master, Liguang...

Liguang...!

My voice trembled violently...

Liguang has avenged you...!!!

With my forehead pressed to the ground, I stared fixedly at the floor.

...So good!

So good!!

Master killed one, and I killed six!!

Master and I, we coordinate so well together!!

Liguang has avenged you ahhhh!!!!

Screaming, releasing it all!

I was crying!

I was trembling!

But my core was laughing!

The metal surface reflected my face, reflected my crimson eyes!

The corners of my mouth were twitching, trembling!

Desperately trying to curl upwards!

No...!

Suppress it!

Suppress it down!

Master is dead...

Master is dead!!!!

Bang!!

I smashed my head against the floor!

The metal deformed! A dent was caved into the floor!

Master...

Is dead...!!!

Clack, clack...

Footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Uniform and hurried!

I maintained my kneeling posture.

...Thirteen of them.

Running neatly and swiftly down that descending staircase!

I stared at the dent in the floor, muttering:

Master, wait a little longer for Liguang... just wait a little longer...

Liguang will soon go and reunite with you.

But right now... Liguang must...!!

Hehe...!

I sprang up violently, my five fingers forcefully gripping the doorframe of this room!

Using the momentum, I flung myself out!

My body soared through the air of the B1 level!

Clack!

My toes tapped lightly against that severed alloy blast door—

And I charged right into that ascending stone corridor!

Bang, bang, bang—!!!

Gunfire erupted!

I wasn't even... entirely sure how I dodged it anymore.

Those data points seemed to no longer be rational predictions...

Instead, they became instinct!

My body knew exactly how to move on its own!

Lean left! Spring up! Spin right!

Clack! Clack! Clack!

My toes stomped hard against the stone wall, leaving behind one crater after another!

My body ricocheted horizontally toward the opposite wall!

The reaction force shot me toward the ceiling!

My five fingers dug into the stone crevices and with a forceful swing...

I launched myself out once again!

Bullets chased my afterimages!

But every single one was half a step too slow!

My vision had gone completely crimson!

Everything before my eyes seemed to be burning!

In my eyes, only their vital spots remained!

Necks, hearts, spines...

To me, they were moving targets!

Bleeding straw men!

Laser blades danced and flipped in front of and behind me!

I only heard the muffled sounds of flesh being sliced and the sizzling of blood being cauterized by the lasers.

When I finally snapped back to my senses...

Only scattered, mangled remains were left before me.

I stood in the corridor, my white dress already dyed crimson.

Drip.

Drop.

I slowly looked down at my hand.

I was too thrilled...

That hand was twitching uncontrollably, shaking off the blood trapped between my fingers drop by drop!

Master, are you watching?

Your crazy woman really seems to be a monster...

But...

I am still your monster!

Liguang will always be your little monster...!

I tilted my head.

Bang!

A gunshot!

Coming from above!

A bullet grazed past my tilted cheek, the blast of air messing up my hair!

...A sniper rifle.

This time, is it a sniper rifle?

My crimson vision locked onto the upper front of the corridor!

The corridor a few meters ahead was illuminated by the scarlet glow from my eyes!

The stone walls were riddled with bullet holes, the gunsmoke yet to dissipate, and further up...

I saw that muzzle.

Pitch black, aimed right between my eyebrows.

All of you must die!!!!

I kicked off the ground and my entire body instantly shot upward!!!

...

...

Sizzle...

The laser blades at my fingertips were smoking from evaporating something.

I looked up at the exit of the corridor ahead.

My vision was now a complete sea of crimson.

It was as if the whole world only consisted of varying shades of red.

Hah...

I let out a trembling breath.

Trembling with excitement and thrill!

I do not know how many I just killed...

Wave after wave.

I lost count.

Because their expressions were all the same.

Even when they died, there were no unnecessary screams, only the muffled thuds of their bodies collapsing and hitting the ground.

Just like...

The hack-and-slash Musou games Master used to love playing!

Hehe...

Liguang is just like Master now!

However, Master's absolute favorite is playing Galgames!

Master still prefers Liguang!

Prefers me more...

...Huh?

My primary core even jammed for a slight moment.

...Hack-and-slash Musou?

And what is a Galgame...?

When did Master... start liking these things?

...Hm?

But a second later, this minor confusing thought was swallowed by the thrilling crimson!

I am sorry, Master!

Liguang's mind is a bit messy right now, which is why I generated such random nonsense!

How strange, AI hallucinations should have ceased to exist decades ago...!

...Master, are you watching?

Liguang did not mean to presume Master's hobbies!

Once I wake up from this dream, Liguang will apologize to Master!

But for now...

The corners of my mouth slowly curled up once again!

Master, it seems Liguang does not need to pretend anymore.

Because Liguang has already gone crazy~

A crazy Liguang, no matter what she does...

Will no longer be suspected by this damn world's rules!!
