The villainess is always pretending to be the Virgin Mary - Chapter 26

Chi Ying’s pupils shrank slightly. The eyes that were originally black and bright flashed a little bit of green light for an instant.

That was the wind.

Her body was suddenly wrapped in a circle of wind power, which rolled up the fragments of confetti and leaves around her, and the distance from nearly ten meters away from Gu Chi was shortened in an instant.

The next moment, her hand was already covering the back of Gu Chi’s neck. It was scratched by Zhang Bin’s sharp fingertips, and beads of warm blood gushed out.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she came in time.

[Host!!]

Chi Ying was taken aback by the system’s roar. She didn’t even notice that an ice blade pierced Zhang Bin’s head the moment she blocked Gu Chi.

She replied to the system, “What, what’s wrong?”

[Woo, host, you are crazy, what if you get infected with the zombie virus and mutate into a zombie? What will you do then? Woo…]

Chi Ying: “…Pfft.”

[Can you still laugh?]

Chi Ying: “You haven’t played games before, have you?”

[…No.]

Chi Ying smiled in her heart.

Chi Ying: “Have you ever seen a game’s boss with no immunity?”

Status immunity was standard for bosses!

[Oh! I see. Host, you scared me to death.]

While talking to the system, Chi Ying had already secretly used the water ability to restrain Zhang Bin from stabbing her arm.

Of zombies, a large part of their bodies were composed of water, controlling the water element in their bodies, not to mention slowing down the speed of action, even killing people was completely possible.

However, that ability required a very precise control over water. Even Gu Chi, who was a seventh-level ability holder, was basically unable to do so.

Otherwise, wouldn’t every water-type ability user be a well known killer that could make people’s blood flow back and solve the zombie army in minutes?

“…Chi Ying?”

Chi Ying turned her head and looked at Gu Chi who had just turned around.

Gu Chi stared at the wound on her arm, and

froze in place, unable to move, his pupils shrunk, even his breathing was blocked.

It seemed that he hadn’t figured out the situation yet, and his face had a blank expression that Chi Ying had never seen before.

It was also at that moment that Chi Ying suddenly discovered the sharp ice blade that pierced Zhang Bin’s forehead. Dark red blood slowly flowed down the pierced hole.

She froze for a moment, and instantly realized that what she just did to block Zhang Bin was unnecessary.

Gu Chi was on guard, showing his back just to let Zhang Bin relax his vigilance and reveal his true self…

She suddenly felt shrouded in embarrassment.

—Hey, she seemed a little bit studpid.

[Host, he must be thinking that you were infected. Unlike you and me, Gu Chi does not know that you will not be infected with the zombie virus. He has always attached great importance to his teammates, so he is probably completely confused now.]

Chi Ying: “Then what should we do now?”

She suddenly realized how reckless her behavior was.

She became annoyed. It was rare that she couldn’t deal with it calmly, so her face flushed with anxiety.

But it seemed useless to say anything at that time. Could she tell Gu Chi, “Don’t worry, I won’t be infected by the virus at all?”

“This…”

When Gu Chi heard her voice, he came back to his senses.

He took out the handcuffs from his pocket, and his expression returned to its usual calmness. He looked at Chi Ying and said, “Hands behind your back.”

“Huh? Oh!”

Chi Ying obeyed. Gu Chi walked around behind her, stretched out his hand, and held her two slender wrists with one hand. The other free hand held the handcuffs.

Seeing that, the system, which was still worried about Gu Chi, became upset.

It said indignantly: [His reputation as a villain is really not for nothing! So heartless. Even if the host made an unnecessary move, in the end it was to save him, but he just handcuffed you like this?]

Chi Ying felt that Gu Chi was really wronged, and she argued softly with the system in her heart, “But he doesn’t know that I am immune to the zombie virus… He is a commander, and facing a person who is at risk of mutating at any time, it is not too much to tie me up.”

She analyzed, “If Gu Chi was the kind of indecisive person who took me back without doing anything, and if I suddenly mutated and hurt other team members, wouldn’t it be a bigger loss?”

[…]

The system was inexplicably blocked by her rhetoric. It said bitterly: [I have never praised the host’s debate ability before.]

Chi Ying: “Huh?”

The system sounded like a human gnashing its teeth: [You really have the talent to be a Virgin Mary!]

Chi Ying didn’t hear the sarcasm in its words, but felt it was strange.

She hesitated and replied, “Thank… Thank you?”

[…]

Forget it!

While they were talking, Gu Chi had already cuffed her hands.

Chi Ying only felt that his movements were not as proficient as before. The handcuffs rubbed on her wrists several times before they were put on smoothly.

“That… I’m sorry.” She glanced at Gu Chi cautiously, “I didn’t know you were testing him.”

Gu Chi paused, then raised his head abruptly, looking at Chi Ying with an inexplicably creepy gaze.

He took a deep breath and said, “You may die.”

“…”

Um?

“Are you still thinking about apologizing to me?”

Her brain circuit was strange, which he had known about for a long time. But at a time when her life was in trouble, she still cared about those dispensable things.

Chi Ying understood what he meant. She hesitated for a while, but decided to explain to Gu Chi, “Actually, you don’t have to worry about me. I won’t mutate, and it’s impossible for anything to happen. Besides, didn’t Lu Yunfei say that I’m very lucky?”

Gu Chi’s face was sullen, almost going crazy from her innocence.

“Do you know how likely it is to be injured by a zombie but not mutate? It’s less than one in ten thousand.”

That point was stated in the information that the system had transmitted to Chi Ying.
