Jiang Yubai was a game NPC. After the game shut down, he was trapped in a pitch-black dungeon.
Then one day, a System came to him and asked him to play the villain.
.
[You are the villain.]
[You are evil, powerful, and skilled at disguise. Everyone resents and despises you.]
[Until the protagonist runs you through the heart with a sword, ]
.
Jiang Yubai counted on his fingers and thought it over:
Evil and powerful: he had a whopping four billion red and blue health points.
Skilled at disguise: he had mastered every player's skill.
Despised by everyone: because the difficulty was so high, countless novice players had been wiped out by him. They hated him to the bone.
.
Jiang Yubai nodded. No problem!
After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Yubai disguised himself and infiltrated the Immortal Alliance as a spy.
To earn military merit, he fought with all his might on the battlefield between immortals and demons.
.
Whenever he used a game skill, he drew all the aggro from his target and automatically took the damage meant for those around him...
Thanks to this skill, he quickly amassed a huge amount of military merit.
Three years later, he became the Immortal Alliance leader's most trusted subordinate!
.
After stealing a secret treasure from the Immortal Alliance, Jiang Yubai successfully stabbed his former employer in the back.
·
The people he'd betrayed surrounded him, their eyes bloodshot as they demanded to know why he had done it.
Jiang Yubai was about to deliver a few classic villain lines.
When the Immortal Alliance leader came rushing over and threw his arms around him.
.
“Why? Why do you always insist on bearing everything alone!”
“What are you hiding? Tell me... I'll believe you, no matter what!”
.
Jiang Yubai: ?
But I really have nothing to hide.
His first plan had gone badly, so Jiang Yubai hurriedly ran for it.
He assumed another identity and went to imprison the Sword Immortal, who had lost the use of his legs and fallen from grace.
.
The mission said he was supposed to test medicines on the man and torment him in every way! Once the imprisonment came to light, everyone would join forces to hunt Jiang Yubai down.
.
But at the crucial moment, the Sword Immortal suddenly stood up from his wheelchair and shielded him.
He looked at Jiang Yubai, his gaze complicated and profound.
“I could have stood up a long time ago.”
“I just didn't want you to leave.”
Things like this kept happening...
At last, the System broke down and gave up, telling Jiang Yubai to skip straight to the ending.
.
The script said that once his crimes were exposed, the protagonist would shoot him through the heart with an arrow.
Seeing the protagonist's terrifyingly dark expression, the System thought, This has to work!
.
The next second, the protagonist drew his sword and turned to face the pursuing crowd, shielding Jiang Yubai behind him.
Jiang Yubai, who had already prepared himself to die: ?
.
The protagonist reached out and brushed his cheek, murmuring softly:
“Xiao Yu, who are all these people? How come you never told me about them?”
.
Jiang Yubai: ...
I don't know who they are, but I really am the villain!
Could you stop dragging me into a romance plot already?!
