The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

".....It's almost over."

Walking out of the alley, Lee squinted slightly at the already slanted setting sun.

".....What a, disgusting feeling."

Without making any more sighs, Lee turned silently, preparing to go to the address that Pardofelis had previously revealed, and to exterminate the last of humanity.

Speaking of which, Hua was also there. If she killed Hua here, would Lihua still be able to meet her? Or was it that because she had her in her memory, she couldn't kill Hua at all?

Can't figure it out, won't think about it. She's already gone on a killing spree, why should she still think about problems~

Just as Lee silently took a step, an unexpected figure blocked her way.

"Meow~"

A chubby tabby cat squatted on the road in front of Lee, calling out affectionately. Then it raised its tail and walked over, rubbing happily against Lee's feet.

".....Geez, I don't have anything to feed you right now."

Lee gently squatted down and subconsciously reached out to the ingratiating cat in front of her.

But the next moment, her hand stopped in mid-air, because Lee saw the bloodstains on her hands.

"You probably don't want to be touched by someone like this either~" There was a hint of bitterness in Lee's smile, and she slowly withdrew her hand.

"Meow?"

"Be good, I'll send you to play with the person who likes you."

Without saying anything more, Lee just stood up and set off in the direction she was going.

And the chubby cat fell silently to the side of the road.

The poor little cat would also be killed by the Herrscher of Finality's attack if it stayed here. It was better to stuff it into the core to play with Pardofelis. It just so happened that in reality, after Pardofelis underwent the MANTIS surgery, the cats that originally liked her no longer got close to her. Now, in the world of consciousness, she could finally get her wish~

...

When Lee arrived at the shelter outside the city and used Seven Thunders of Retribution to split open the seemingly indestructible gate with a single slash, most of the sheltered people inside let out screams they had never uttered in their lives.

Some people tried to escape in fear, and some people tried to fight back in anger and despair – the number of the latter was actually larger. To have such courage in the face of a completely unwinnable enemy, Lee could only say that the mind-steel seal she had placed on them was really effective.

But unfortunately, most things in this world couldn't be solved by willpower.

Whether they were running away or fighting back, everyone eventually became corpses lying on the ground. Lee walked calmly into the depths of the shelter.

And there, a petite girl was calmly painting on a canvas, as if nothing around her could disturb her concentration.

"What are you painting, Griseo?"

"Big Sis Lee." Griseo silently turned the easel around, showing Lee the content of her painting.

However, the picture was completely black.

".....Is it because I'm completely rotten?" Lee smiled self-deprecatingly.

However, Griseo just shook her head stubbornly, and then picked up her brush and continued to paint, as if the person beside her wasn't the Herrscher who had just killed everyone in the shelter. "Not finished yet."

Without disturbing Griseo's painting, Lee just stood beside her and said softly, "Griseo, do you miss your dad?"

"Yes." Griseo nodded heavily, but the movements of her hands didn't stop for a moment.

"Then Big Sis Lee will send you to see your mom and dad, okay?"

Himeko was already dead, and Blanca was one of the countless ordinary people who were controlled by Lee to commit suicide during the massacre in the city. Although Blanca had already tried her best to live, and was even lucky enough to live until after the time of the Twelfth Herrscher – but who told her to meet Lee?

And what it meant to send Griseo to see her mom and dad, naturally, didn't need to be explained.

"Okay." Griseo nodded again, and at the same time stopped her brush, silently looking up at Lee's face. "Finished."

Lee silently picked up Griseo's painting. It was still a large area of black, but when viewed from certain angles, a crying face could be faintly seen in the reflection of the light.

My goodness, is this a further upgrade from abstract art to installation art? But her ability to see people is as accurate as ever.....

"Big Sis Lee, always lying." Griseo tried to explain her painting to Lee. "Never telling everyone what she's thinking..... Not telling everyone when she's very sad, just like now."

".....Griseo, some things are better left unsaid for everyone's sake." Lee gently stroked Griseo's hair. "It's like everyone likes cute dolls, but not many people like the dirty cotton inside the dolls."

"I don't understand." Griseo shook her head. "Big Sis Lee is not a doll."

"But if you want people to like you, you have to be like a doll." Lee smiled and didn't explain any further.

"Griseo, you're relatively young, so your consciousness is not as stable as other warriors, you don't need such extreme operations..... But it's too cruel to leave a child like you alone in a world that has already ended." Lee lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "So I'll send you to your mom and dad..... Now, close your eyes, okay?"

"Okay." Griseo closed her eyes obediently.

Until now, she hadn't felt the slightest hostility from Lee.

She didn't know what Lee had done, nor did she know what Lee wanted to do, but she believed that her Big Sis Lee would definitely not do anything to hurt everyone.

Looking at Griseo, who had closed her eyes, Lee's hand slowly approached her neck.

Directly slashing to death with Seven Thunders of Retribution and strangling with her hands were no different for the current Lee, both were just a matter of an instant – and why did Lee do such a troublesome operation?

Of course, it was for the person who was about to appear~

Griseo's charging efficiency was not as high as other warriors, and her mind was innocent and peaceful, and it was difficult for her to be emotionally overwhelmed by external events. Since she couldn't get too much energy from the other party, she might as well take this opportunity to milk the next person.

Looking at the icon on the map that was constantly approaching her, Lee silently calculated the time in her heart, and then at the moment the other party rushed into the room—

"Griseo—?!"

Crack.

When Hua, who had rushed back, rushed into Griseo's room, what she saw was the moment when Lee broke Griseo's neck with a blank expression.

"Hua..... You're just in time."

Like discarding a toy, Lee casually threw Griseo's body aside, and walked towards Hua, who had a dazed expression, with a wicked smile on her face.

"Just you left."
