I'll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

Chapter 136

Grass grew everywhere over the desolate land. The wooden beams, which had been parched from lack of moisture, were shining smoothly.

Li, who was looking around, opened his mouth in a light voice.

“Promise me one thing, Philina.”

“…….”

“I’ll tell you everything, you kill me.”

Filina couldn’t answer, just stared at him.

Then Li smiled a little and opened his mouth again.

“Right now, I’ve compressed my powers and controlled my body, but as you know, I’m not free. No one knows when it will return to the main body. And one day it will be impossible to control it.”

He continued, making quiet eye contact with Philina.

“Well, I can’t guess what’s going to happen. Right now, I haven’t left the hallucinatory forest, but…, but what do you think would happen if I got out of here and headed to a place where humans stay?”

Philina’s eyes widened. I hadn’t thought about that part.

Li, whose gaze met her, said with a cold face.

“A lot of people are going to die. There’s only one way to avoid that catastrophe.”

“…….”

“One day at a time, to kill me.”

A sigh slipped between Philina’s lips.

Saying that you have to kill me with your own mouth to save people…….

I couldn’t refuse anymore.

Philina said, shaking her head.

“But…, I’m not as strong as you think.”

Huey couldn’t kill Lee either, so how could he deal with him?

But Li smiled as if it didn’t matter.

“Your strength is great. It’s not like the divine power that ordinary priests get. Because it’s your will.”

“…… My will?”

“Why do you think you have divine powers?”

Philina frowned at the sound of the noise.

“…… I don’t know. It’s a power I’ve never had before.”

At her words, Li smiled a little and opened his mouth.

“You said you wondered why you came here?”

He met Philina’s lightly and continued.

“If you know why the divine power came about, the answer is not difficult.”

“…… What do you mean by that?”

She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

In the first place, the divine power did not arise until after several regressions. But what does that have to do with how you got into this novel?

I couldn’t understand it.

Lee, who had been staring at Filina silently, asked with a smile on his face.

“You’ve taken your own life in a previous life, haven’t you?”

She replied with a hardened expression on her face.

“…… What’s wrong with that?”

He looked at Philina intently, then tilted his head at an angle. Li’s gaze penetrated into her.

His voice drifted through the desolate air.

“That’s when your last will was delivered to the world.”

“…… My last will?”

Li asked her, raising her lips pretty.

“What did you most wish for before you died?”

“That’s it, of course……”

I want to be strong.

Filina swallowed the back words quietly.

A hollow smile slipped between her lips.

After all……, that was it.

Did the desire to be strong create a divine force?

Lee stared at Filina with an amused face.

“You don’t look very surprised, do you?”

Her red eyes looked at Li dryly.

I wasn’t surprised.

I’ve already thought about that before.

His own death may have created a divine force.

Filina asked, raising her gaze to look at him again.

“What does that have to do with me coming to this world?”

At her words, Li smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“Think about it, your death has set the world in motion. So, why did you come here? What do you think the two have to do with each other?”

At his words, Filina asked, frowning.

“No way…, did someone else’s death bring me here?”

Lee didn’t answer, just laughed.

It wasn’t hard to see that it was an unspoken positive sign.

A breath slipped between Philina’s lips. Seeing her, Li whined in a light voice.

“What the world fears most is the untimely death of a major factor. Everyone has a certain destiny. But he ignored that fate and chose death.”

Li’s gaze turned somewhere. I saw a ruined pocket watch on the dusty floor.

He said in a low voice.

“In this world, an unexpected death is like the destruction of an important part of the clock.”

His clear eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Filina stared at Lee’s iris, which shone beautifully with a blank face.

“In a word, it’s a state of emergency. So, in the next life, you keep all your nerves on the one who chose death before. I’m afraid I’ll disrupt the flow of the world again.”

In the end, if he chooses to die again as before, the story will not flow normally, and the will to live in the past seems to be triggered and prevents him from dying.

“The eyes of the world are the eyes of others looking at you. Didn’t your life in your previous life feel a little different from your life in this one?”

At Lee’s words, Filina smiled sheepishly.

I wonder if that was the reason why the characters’ eyes on me were different from before.

In the original, fearing that she would choose death again, she drew the center of everything to Philina.

It was futility.

Li laughed suddenly.

“But the problem is that it’s too much.”

“…… Is it too much?”

Filina narrowed her brow as she asked what she meant.

Then Li looked at her with noble eyes and opened his mouth.

“The world was just putting other people on it just to spy on you. But as the people who spend time with you have taken on their own identity, their emotions have changed.”

“…… I mean, all the people around me right now are dealing with me directly of their own volition?”

“Exactly.”

Filina looked at him in surprise.

Li, who had been staring at her silently, frowned.

“But Philina, you’ve changed the course of the world so much.”

His expression was dark. Fear suddenly struck me.

Filina blurted out urgently, as if to make an excuse.

“That couldn’t be helped. If you don’t change the story, it’s going to go the way it did. If that happens, I will be put to death.”

At her words, Li let out a big sigh.

Filina had a confused face.

Maybe you shouldn’t have changed the story at will?

Philina, who couldn’t look away from her embarrassed expression, opened her mouth with a sad face.

“…… What am I going to do? Just die the way it was written? Do you look forward to the day when you die doing nothing? I hate it. I don’t want to die.”

Tears rolled up her eyes. She shook her head and said in a mournful voice:

“…… I’ve already died countless times. I don’t want to die anymore…”

He was staring at Philina’s figure intently, and asked in a clear voice.

“Why do you think you’ve died so many times?”

At the sound of his voice, Filina raised her gaze to look at Lee. Then, with a slight frown, he pulled his lips apart.

“…… In the original, Filina dies because the final ending is the ending.”

Philina’s answer made him fold his eyes in half.

“Half right, half wrong.”

“…… What’s wrong?”

“You died because you set up a story.”

Li’s light voice made her eyes widen.

Looking at Philina, he added lazily.

“The world attaches great importance to destiny. So when someone comes out who breaks the flow, they treat it as an obstacle and try to remove it. All of your deaths so far have been caused by him.”

At Lee’s words, Filina couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

The reason he died was because he changed the story.

Li continued, in a sophisticated voice.

“The world is stupid. You don’t realize that you’re the main person here. They treat it as an obstacle just because it turned the tide. And there are tens of thousands of ways to get rid of those obstacles. It’s the same reason why monsters have been popping up around you so far.”

His words reflexively reminded me of the time when I entered the military academy.

A monster that popped out of nowhere.

And when he and Cecilia tried to go hunting for the first time, they were unfailingly confronted by violent monsters.

Filina chewed her lip.

After all, their purpose was all themselves.

Then I stopped all my actions. I could see her eyes shaking violently.

Filina slowly raised her head to meet Lee’s gaze.

“…… So, is my death predestined in this life? I’ve already played a lot of stories.”

“yes. It brought everything forward.”

Li said with a light shrug.

“In fact, other people’s agency played a big role in the change in the flow more rapidly than before.”

Pilina, who had been looking at him muttering to herself, asked again with a frustrated expression.

“So, what’s the bottom line? After all, do I have to die in this life? I don’t need any effort to do anything so far.”

Tears streamed unceasingly from her face.

I felt as if I had been condemned to death.

He realized now that the bond of hope he had been holding on to had actually been broken.

Philina slumped helplessly in place, trying to deny reality.

“It’s ridiculous……. I can’t admit it…….”

Lee stared intently at Philina, who was muttering in a low voice, and then pulled her lips away.

“You just have to go back to your original world before death comes upon you.”

At his words, Filina stared blankly at Lee with tears streaming down her face.

Looking at her, Li smiled slightly.

“The reason why you keep regressing so far is because you haven’t met your fate properly. Your destiny is to be sentenced to death by a certain person in this world, and then put in prison to await a horrible death.”
