Looking at Rayze's face which was filled with joy, Yue felt uncomfortable.

She felt that if Rayze did not exist, perhaps she and Hikaru would have been a perfect pair of swans.

However, Yue also knew that if Rayze hadn't caused some problems, Hikaru wouldn't have appeared either.

Remembering what Rayze did, Yue hated him even more.

"That's right. I... I felt a bit sad and bored so I played the piano to calm my mind. Don't you like it? Yue said while feeling worried.

That's right, she was worried because she was afraid that Rayze would discover Hikaru's existence.

Yue could guess that Hikaru was also a bit afraid of Rayze. If he wasn't afraid of Rayze, he would have killed Rayze a long time ago instead of avoiding him like this.

'Perhaps… evolved people also have weaknesses. Hikaru might not take action because he doesn't know Rayze's superpowers, or how strong Rayze is.'

'Hikaru is brave... although his friend was killed, he is not afraid to come to this place and investigate his friend's death.'

'But… Rayze is too dangerous. If he can kill everyone in this building without anyone being able to resist him, that means he is extremely strong.'

'Hikaru… you're so pitiful.'

'It's not good, I have to find a way to help Hikaru, I don't want him to be in danger.'

Yue glanced at Rayze and began to think about how she could help Hikaru.

"Hahaha…" Rayze laughed loudly: "No, I really like it. The melody is great."

Yue raised her head to look at Rayze, as she looked down on him in her heart: 'Very wonderful... Ah! I also didn't expect a serial killer to feel something from music.'

Rayze continued: "Yue, when you played the piano, did you feel anything?"

"What do you mean?" Yue asked, as she started to feel worried.

'Could it be… he discovered Hikaru?'

"What I mean is…" Rayze smiled and said: "Do you think… is your music wonderful? Do you feel anything changing in your body?"

Hearing that, Yue took a step back, as she tried to close the door.

Rayze: "…"

'Oy! Why are you stepping back? I won't eat you either...'

Rayze felt that Yue seemed to be on high alert towards him. He of course felt Yue's gaze that was both disdainful and frightful.

'Could it be… she still feels afraid of me after what happened that day?'

Rayze remembered the day he killed a man in front of Yue, which shocked her.

He frowned and said: "Yue, I know you are still afraid of me. However, this world has changed, it is no longer a world protected by the law."

"In this world, the strong are kings, and the weak must die, or become slaves, or they become food for the strong."

"This world has become a giant forest. There are no longer any rules at all."

"There is only one rule. Whoever's fist is bigger and stronger is the one who makes the rules."

"Yue, I hope you can understand what I said. Besides... this place won't be safe anymore. In the future, maybe in about 4 or 5 days, we will have to leave this place."

Yue was startled when she heard that, she asked: "Why do I have to leave this place?" This place is very safe, where are you taking me?"

Rayze shook his head: "Currently the world is entering an ice age. Even though most zombies are frozen and can hardly move or harm us, that doesn't mean we don't have any danger."

"There are still a lot of powerful monsters out there. They are evolving, and they have started to come into this world through a strange portal."

"Yue, maybe you don't understand what I'm saying, but you just need to know that I'm trying to help you, and give you a safe life."

Hearing that, Yue gritted her teeth. She seemed unable to control herself as she spoke up: "A safe life?"

"That's right." Rayze nodded, his expression extremely confident.

"So… is that why you killed everyone in this building?"

Hearing this, Rayze was a bit surprised, however, he did not deny it. On the contrary, he smiled and said: "I'm a little surprised. Have you left the room and gone to other rooms?"

Yue nodded slightly: "That's right. I feel a bit strange. This building has a lot of people, if anything is happening, everyone would definitely meet together to discuss or come up with a solution."

"However, many days have passed but I have not heard any noise in this building. It was as if… everyone was dead."

"That's why I…"

Yue did not continue speaking. In reality, she was just lying, the fact that Rayze killed everyone was proven to her by Hikaru.

Rayze was different, he thought that Yue was so shocked that she couldn't continue talking.

He sighed and said: "You didn't listen to what I said. I said… you shouldn't wander around."

"You killed everyone, right?"

"That's right."

"Even the children?"

"That's right."

"Why? They were just kids."

"Because… if the adults die, the children won't be able to survive on their own in this horrible world." Rayze said, his voice extremely calm and cold.

"I killed those children to free them, so that they won't have to endure the suffering and fear that surrounds this world."

"Besides… even if they go to heaven, they can still be with all their family members. It's not a crime, I'm just freeing them."

Yue trembled, she looked at Rayze but she didn't see Rayze.

What she was seeing was a demon wearing human skin. A bloodthirsty demon, and behind him were countless souls that were screaming miserably.

"You… you are not human…" Yue couldn't help but say: "You are a devil…"

"Being a human is fine… being a devil is also fine… no matter what I am, I will protect you, Yue."

"You have no idea how horrible and cruel they would be if they were left alive."

"What I did was to protect you."

"Shut up!" Yue shouted: "Please… don't say that."

She was trembling, Rayze wanted to hug her to comfort her, but he knew that doing so would only make her hate him more.

One drawback of Yue's superpower was that.... if she hates someone, the effectiveness of her superpower was almost zero.

That's why he needed to make Yue sympathise with him. The greater the sympathy, the higher the effect.

If Yue loved him, the effects of her superpowers would be even more terrifying and limitless.

Yue clenched her chest with her hands, she felt as if her heart was about to explode: "Why? If you say that, it's no different from me being the cause of their deaths."

"Yue…"

"Don't say my name!" Yue shouted: "Rayze, you disgust me."

BAM!

Yue finished speaking and immediately slammed the door, the sound of the door being slammed was so strong that it echoed throughout the hallway.

Rayze could predict that similar things would continue happening. However, he didn't think that Yue would know everything so quickly.

"Yue, I still have to say this."

"I did everything to keep you safe. I am protecting you, i want you to have a good life in this terrible world."

"I love you Yue. No matter what happens, even if you hate me, I will still love you."

"I know you hate me, but later you will understand why I do what I do."

"The most terrifying thing in this world is not zombies, not monsters, but humanity."

"Humans are the ugliest monsters that exist in this world."

"Yue, I will take you away in 4 days. This place will be attacked by monsters, we can't stay here for long. This is true, if you don't believe me then I will have to force you away."

"I will leave supplies and food at the door, you can take it whenever you want."

After Rayze finished speaking, he felt a bit tired. He had spent too much life energy, and now that Yue was looking at him with eyes filled with disgust and fear, he felt extremely hopeless.

It seemed that everything he did, all his efforts to keep Yue safe, had become meaningless.

Seeing that look, Rayze wanted to throw everything away. He wanted to forget about the effectiveness of Yue's superpowers, and he wanted to discard her feelings.

He wanted to throw her on the bed, and give her a really sweet time.

But Rayze's mind was still somewhat conscious, enough to prevent his actions.

In his plan, Yue was the most important factor that would help him evolve.

Rayze sighed, then returned to his room. He didn't want to stay out for long, he also needed to rest.

After spending a day and a night wandering outside, the temperature was so low that it was freezing. Even if he had evolved to become stronger, it would still be difficult for him to endure it.

In Yue's room, she quickly lay on the bed, as tears flowed out of her eyes like a stream. She felt as if the souls of the dead were surrounding her.

Even though the bed was comfortable and warm, and even though the bracelet she was wearing also helped her stay warm, she still felt extremely cold.

The coldness came from her mind and soul.

"Hikaru… where are you… please… Please hug me… I feel so cold…" Yue muttered.

She remembered the warmth that Hikaru provided, that warmth made her feel safe and warm.

As Yue remembered the warm hand that caressed her body, she immersed herself in the memory and forgot about the horrors of this world.

"Hikaru… I miss you…"
