I'm Sure I'll Be a Good Person in the Future

In the year of spiritual qi revival, Chu Chi awakened an ability: whenever someone feared him or was intimidated by him, he could randomly draw on one of his future self's abilities.

So he went to work as an NPC in a haunted house, wrote horror stories online, and played villains in movies.

His fear points kept pouring in. The first ability he drew was the power to kill a target from thousands of miles away.

Chu Chi: Great. Very cool. Very powerful.

But this is a society governed by law!

What kind of monster does my future self turn into?

Chu Chi: No way. I've got to save myself.

The reborn, arriving from ten years in the future, realize that everything can still be changed and decide to join forces to eliminate the most dangerous wanted criminal of the future.

He's a madman who treats the entire world as a giant playground, wantonly toying with the lives and souls of others. In the end, he even commits an atrocity that destroys the world.

The reborn: First, let's find out where Chu Chi is.

So...

They spot the future world-ending criminal in a haunted house at an amusement park, on a giant LED screen on the street, at a horror novelist's book signing, outside milk tea shops, clothing stores, and toy stores, and even popping up on their phones from time to time!

The reborn are dazed and confused: Fear is everywhere, following us like a shadow.

They decide to expose the identity of this world-ending criminal to the Heresy Supervision Department!

However...

The person who receives them is none other than Chu Chi, the future villain, wearing the black uniform of the Anomaly Enforcement Division and smiling warmly. "Come on, tell me that story again about how I toy with the world and destroy it."

The reborn: ...

Why are you here?! Aaaaaah!

Chu Chi isn't troubled by knowing about the reborn and future events. What happens later can be dealt with later, after all, and he's always been an optimist.

Until one day...

He suddenly transmigrates on his way to work, landing directly in the world eight years in the future.

The sky is dark red, the ground charred black, and corpses lie in every direction.

Twisted, terrifying figures surround him, crawling on the ground in fearful submission, their auras strange and dangerous.

In the distance stands a human organization, wary and grief-stricken. They glare at him as if they want to kill him on the spot.

And Chu Chi, dressed in an enforcement officer's uniform and carrying a suitcase marked with the Supervision Department's insignia, radiates an air of utter innocence.

Great. So I've switched sides right here on the spot, have I?

Future me, why did you turn evil?
