In the basement of the suburban villa.

Meng Ran woke up from the pain of the knife cutting her skin.

"Yan... Xu?"

She was tied to the operating table I purposely bought. When she opened her eyes and saw me holding a surgical knife, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Finally awake," I smiled.

"Originally, I wanted to take you to Ningning's death scene, let you personally experience Ningning's pain, but I think Ningning wouldn't want to see you, so I chose here instead."

"Yan Xu, what... do you mean?" She widened her eyes, her voice trembling instinctively due to pain.

I looked at her, no longer concealing my disgust: "How about it, when you killed Ningning, didn't you ever think that you would have such a day?"

"Well, after all, you had that system protecting you before, doing whatever you wanted, how could you think about these things."

I coldly inserted the surgical knife into her abdomen, causing her to struggle and convulse instantly from the intense pain.

"You... you... you know..."

The intense pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Yes," I laughed emotionlessly, "Otherwise, why would I desperately design you, make you use up your points, and make you break away from the system?"

"Because only this way, I can avenge Ningning."

"It's that Xie Ning again!"

Meng Ran, with a sudden burst of strength from somewhere, suddenly struggled towards me: "What's so good about her? She's just an NPC! Yan Xu, why can't you forget about her!"

"Shut up!" Hearing her curse Ningning, I directly pulled out the knife and pressed it against her neck, my crimson eyes seeming to want to shed blood, "In your eyes, Ningning is just an NPC, but in my eyes, she is my one and only world's number one!"

"You killed my world's number one! Do you understand!"

After enduring tears for so long, they finally rolled down, and I returned to my usual calm expression.

"Forget it, how could someone like you understand," I calmly said, "I don't care if you understand or not, as long as you suffer the same pain as Ningning."

At this moment, Meng Ran truly began to feel afraid.

"You, you can't kill me, I have your child in my belly." She looked at me reaching for the surgical knife again, panicking.

"That's not my child, I never touched you." I calmly cut her skin with the surgical knife, speaking as if it were an insignificant matter.

"The child's father is that murderer.

"Oh, I haven't told you yet, I had him locked up here before. I cut off his hands and feet, kept him like a dog for several months, and every few days, I would cut a piece of flesh from his body so he could always remember how painful Ningning was before she died."

"Oh, by the way." I suddenly stopped my actions, looking at her gasping in pain, deliberately saying, "Rest assured, after you die, I will bury you together. You've conquered so many worlds, killed as many people as he did, in a sense, you and him are really a perfect match."

At these words, a look of disgust indeed appeared on her face.

At the same time, a hint of realization flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, you're right." I lowered my head to continue my actions, "Today's kidnapper was also arranged by me."

"Ningning was abducted when she was young, left to die in a dry well after falling ill."

I said indifferently:

"He was the human trafficker.

"I know your points were running out over a month ago. The reason I waited until today to act was to find him.

"You deserve to die, he shouldn't live.

"My original plan was, if you used the system to kill him, I would take the blame for you, forcing you to unbind from the system.

"Yes, I never loved you, from start to finish, I was only pretending to care for you."

I looked into her eyes, answering the questions in her mind.

At this moment, what was there left for her not to understand?

I "understood" her so well, could see through all her vulnerabilities, could accompany her to reclaim her childhood regrets, but it was all deliberate after I learned that all her privileges were obtained through points and the system.

Everyone has their weaknesses.

Just like how she chose to imitate Ningning to get close to me, I could also disguise myself as the perfect object she yearned for, step by step, counter-strategizing against her.

After hearing my words, her eyes finally lost their light, leaving only her body instinctively struggling...
