Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

As they went deeper, shadows surged in like a tide, and their numbers grew denser and denser.

Mitsui Tsubasa's battle becomes increasingly difficult, and every victory brings him new scars.

He took the quick-healing medicine again and again until Wu Jianmiao couldn't bear it anymore and finally stopped him.

"Are you crazy? You've taken pills four times in one hour. Do you want your body to do this?"

She reached out and snatched the medicine box with a firm and resolute movement.

Mitsui Tsubasa did not stop her, but just looked at her and sighed: "Doctor Wu Jian, you have also seen it. If I don't take medicine, how can I deal with the next battle?"

"Then stop fighting. What's the point of going on like this?"

Wu Jianmiao couldn't help but retort.

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her steadily, and after a long silence, he shook his head.

"This is meaningful, both to prevent past tragedies from happening again and to save more people."

"Dr. Takemi, you may not know this, but the more I investigate those people, the more I find that they are using the power of the personality mask to do whatever they want. If they are allowed to completely control the government, Japan will be finished!"

He stood there, his body straight as a pine tree, his eyes firm as iron, his lips tightly pursed, as if he was gathering all his strength deep in his heart.

"At that time, I had already realized something." His voice was low and powerful, as if an ancient war drum was echoing in his ears. "Only by cherishing every day as if it were my last day of life and fighting every battle as if it were my last and doing my best, can I take back the future of mankind with my own hands!"

'And hold it firmly in your hand!'

His oath resounded in the space, and every word was like a flame bursting from the depths of his heart, burning the surrounding air.

Wu Jianmiao stared at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and was speechless for a long time.

Mitsui Tsubasa gently took the medicine box from her hand, but she remained standing there.

After swallowing another quick-healing pill, he walked towards the depths of the tunnel without looking back. His dark attire blended with the darkness yet was particularly eye-catching.

After several fierce battles, Takemiya always stayed silently by Mitsui Tsubasa's side, treating his increasing wounds.

Her expression became more solemn, her eyes filled with deep pain and worry, as if every scar was engraved on her heart.

Mitsui Tsubasa was keenly aware of her emotions, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

It's time to move on to the final stage.

He slowed down his pace and carefully searched for a suitable battlefield in the dark tunnel.

Finally, he found the ideal position - there was a hidden shelter behind him and a wide intersection in front of him, where several shadows were wandering.

After Wu Jianmiao hid himself, he deliberately took heavy steps and faced the enemy.

Step, step, step...

In the silent tunnel, clear and loud footsteps echoed, beating heavily on Wu Jianmiao's heart like drumbeats.

She stretched out her hand but couldn't say anything to stop him. She could only watch his back gradually moving away, feeling ominous in her heart.

The battle broke out again, and the shadows came like a tide.

Mitsui Tsubasa fought hard, but this battle was particularly "difficult" and he was forced to retreat several times.

Seeing the opportunity, he pretended to be exhausted and was knocked to the ground by the shadow.

He lay on the ground, pretending to be panicked, picked up a shotgun and started shooting wildly.

Bang Bang Bang!

The deafening sound of gunfire quickly echoed in the tunnel, and in the distance, waves of shadowy roars were heard.

He struggled to stand up, but failed several times.

In the end, he only had time to cast a farewell look to Wu Jianmiao before he was surrounded by the swarming shadows.

Wu Jianmiao hid in the bunker, trembling all over as he watched him being overwhelmed by those hideous monsters and completely disappear from his sight.

Her face was as pale as snow, her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, and her hands were tightly clenched together, as if she was looking for a little comfort from this tiny movement.

She wanted to rush out to save him, but her body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, preventing her from breaking free.

Takemiya recalled the brief time they had spent together, and how it had ended in such a tragic way.

'Once again... I can't do anything...'

[Are you just going to watch like this? ]

A gentle and cold female voice suddenly sounded in Wu Jianmiao's mind, breaking her meditation.

The sound seemed to come from the deep night sky, or from distant memories, full of mystery and solemnity.

"what……!"

Wu Jianmiao exclaimed, and the severe headache that came with the sound made her bend down tightly.

The pain was like a sharp knife, piercing into her mind and making it almost unbearable for her.

【Didn’t you see the patient who was asking you for help? 】

[Have you forgotten the oath you once swore? Or is being a doctor just a profession for you? ]

The voice rang out again, and every word was like an icy needle, piercing deeply into Wu Jianmiao's heart.

"That's not it..."

Wu Jianmiao shook his head in pain, his voice choked with sobs.

This familiar feeling of powerlessness made her feel as if she was back in her internship in the intensive care unit.

Those lost lives, those helpless eyes, and those tragedies that she could not reverse no matter how hard she tried, once again appeared before her eyes.

The severe headache made her unable to stand up straight, so she could only curl up in the corner, holding her head tightly with both hands. However, even in such pain, her eyes still did not move away from the figure that had disappeared in the distance.

【Then, make your choice. 】

There was an unquestionable majesty in the cold female voice.

[Take a step back, even if you are called the god of plague, you must live peacefully; take a step forward, put everything you have on the line and bear the lives of others. ]

Crystal clear tears slid from the corners of Wu Jianmiao's eyes and dripped onto the cold ground.

The tears contained neither pain nor weakness, but regret for her own inability to do anything. She hated herself for not being able to save those lives, and hated herself for not being able to change this cruel world.

The invisible shackles tightened more and more, causing her extreme pain and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

But her body stopped shaking because she had made her choice.

"I don't want to lose anymore... I want to reverse this cruel fate!"

The will to resist surged from the depths of Wu Jianmiao's heart, like a blazing flame, instantly dispelling her powerlessness and regret.

She raised her head with force, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"I will not let tragedy happen again."

"I will save...!"

She slowly raised her foot, using all her strength to barely move her toes an inch. This step was as difficult and long as climbing a mountain for her.

Her body was trembling as she maintained a delicate balance, as if she might fall down at any moment. But she did not stop, but continued to take each step forward firmly.

[Very good... I have seen your enlightenment.]

A gentle female voice chuckled, with a hint of relief and appreciation.

【Let’s conclude a contract! 】

【I am you.】

【You are me.】

【A doctor with a compassionate heart who longs to save others from danger. 】

[I, Xuguiya, will entrust my strength and medical skills to you. ]

[Follow your belief, firmly believe in the mercy that hangs just below the scythe of death, and then go create a miracle! ]

As the voice fell, a warm and powerful force surged from the depths of Wu Jianmiao's heart. This force instantly filled her whole body, making her feel more fulfilled and powerful than ever before.

Silently, a sky-blue, elegant bird mask appeared and covered her beautiful face.

The mask fits tightly against her skin, as if it has merged with her face.

Wu Jianmiao seemed to have sensed something in her heart. She took a deep breath and tightly grasped the edge of the mask with both hands.

"I...ah!"

As she pushed harder, severe headaches and a feeling of suffocation came over her like a tide, causing her to cry out in pain.

But she didn't hesitate at all and continued to tear it with all her might.

With persistent tearing, the mask, which seemed to be completely glued to the face, began to loosen.

Strands of bright red blood flowed down from the cracks, staining her hands and cheeks red.

"I won't hesitate any longer... Respond to me, Hygieia!!!"

Wu Jianmiao suddenly raised his head and called out the name that emerged in his mind.

Warm blood splattered, and Wu Jianmiao, whose half face was covered with scars, finally tore off the mask.

The moment the mask fell off, a sky-blue flame burst out from Wu Jianmiao's body.

This clear flame is as bright and clear as a mountain spring, and as soft and delicate as the first light of dawn.

Under the illumination of the flame, the scars on her face healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye and returned to normal.

blah blah...

The sound of light footsteps seemed to be echoing.

An elegant and mysterious lady walked out slowly from the flames. Her face was gentle and kind, and her eyes were as deep as lakes, sparkling with wisdom and compassion.

She had a graceful and upright figure, and her flawless white dress swayed in the wind, making her look like a fairy walking out of a painting.

With the appearance of this mysterious lady, a strong storm suddenly surged around Wu Jianmiao.

A blue hurricane rose up out of nowhere, howling, and instantly suppressed the dark shadow in the distance to the ground.

Those originally ferocious shadows seemed so small and powerless in front of this force. The black figures curled up on the ground, as if worshiping them.

As the shadows fell one after another, Mitsui Tsubasa also saw the goddess-like figure in the distance. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, revealing unspeakable joy.

Wu Jianmiao has awakened!

The plan goes through!

He looked around; the shadows beside him seemed so annoying at this moment. With an idea in his mind, the dark flames swept through everything like a volcanic eruption, instantly devouring the shadows.

'How can I share such a beautiful painting with others! '

This scene happened to be seen by Wu Jian Miao who was walking forward. She stood there in a daze, her eyes full of surprise and confusion. She looked at Mitsui Tsubasa at a loss, then turned to look at the goddess beside her, with doubts in her heart that were hard to express.

Xu Guiya gently turned his head and looked at Wu Jianmiao, and his gentle voice was like a spring breeze blowing into her ears: [It seems that I don’t need to appear. ]

She laughed softly twice, and her figure became more ethereal and illusory, transforming back into the exquisite sky-blue spirit bird mask.

As if taken by an invisible hand, the mask floated lightly towards Takemiya's face.

Wu Jianmiao subconsciously took the mask and gently rubbed it with his hands, as if feeling a mysterious power.

She tried to put on the mask, then took it off immediately, playing with it repeatedly, with an innocent smile like a child on her face.

Mitsui Tsubasa waited patiently for a moment in the distance, giving her enough time to adapt, and then walked back briskly.

"Doctor Takemi, it seems that you have successfully awakened the power of your personality mask. That's great."

Hearing this, Takemiya raised his head and looked into Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes.

She was silent for a moment, then put the mask back on and said softly, "Don't move."

Mitsui Tsubasa raised his eyebrows slightly, stood there obediently, and let her look at him.

Wu Jianmiao's eyes scanned him carefully, even circling around him, before he nodded as if to confirm and took two steps back.

"Hygiea!"

She called softly, her right hand gently touching the mask.

A goddess as otherworldly as a fairy came floating in. With her appearance, a faint fragrance appeared in the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy, as if all the illnesses and pains disappeared at this moment.
