Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Some journeys come to an end, but we will begin new ones. Games that haven't been shown don't mean they don't exist, and life will continue in our world—"

"To continue in another way."

Nana held his hand, somewhat puzzled.

"Mr. William, you said that showing it off means someone is watching, but to whom is it shown?"

Bai Weiran couldn't help but laugh.

"To show to a group of people who have been watching us all along, from the beginning until now."

"Where are they? Can Nana see them?"

Nana was startled, her eyes darting around curiously.

"Yes, they are everywhere, but they are also nowhere. They can see us, but we cannot see them, yet we coexist with them."

"It's too difficult, Nana can't understand—where are they?"

“I don’t know either. They might be in the mountains, by the sea, in the city, in the countryside, in an old apartment building, or in a new apartment. In short, they might be in all sorts of places, watching us through the internet.”

"That makes things easy! Nana can use the internet to find people!" Nana cheered happily.

"...Don't scare people to death."

No, was Nana scared to death, or were the people who saw Nana scared to death?

If an innocent and adorable pink-haired loli ghost appeared beside you, what would you choose?

(I) Escape, there are ghosts, Mom, I'm so scared

(II) Capture and bring home

Bai Weiran thought for a moment and gave a serious warning.

"Don't mess around with internet cables, or you might get captured and taken home as a little maid!"

There are currently no laws protecting loli-like little devils from another world.

Nana: …………?

Bai Weiran walked onto the arena and, amidst the cheers of the crowd, saw something in another corner of the arena.

He couldn't help but laugh.

There stood a wooden Gundam, its streamlined body seemingly stepping out of a memory, surrounded by twinkling blue fluorescent lights, like a swarm of beautiful daytime fireflies drifting by.

Gundam stands tall on the earth.

It turns out that this person not only studies chess scores and books every day, but also watches a lot of exciting anime.

She is truly a role model of academic excellence, embracing all corners of the world and welcoming all who come.

Chapter Four: We Became Strangers

Holding a microphone, the pink-haired loli broadcasted enthusiastically, spitting as she spoke.

"Yes, the battle is extremely fierce right now!!"

"Contestant Bai Weiran, piloting Initial Zero Unit, is challenging the 250th floor master, known as the Invincible Witch!"

"Wow! Bai Weiran's move was absolutely beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! That horizontal slash with a machete—if it succeeds, it could directly break through the Invincible Witch's cockpit—go straight for the Gundam's core! Can it succeed? Can it succeed?"

"Ah, what a pity, the witch fired a short burst of energy that shattered the wood-chopping knife—"

"Bai Weiran's initial Zero unit was only equipped with melee weapons, while the latest X-generation unit piloted by the witch has seven cannons built in, powered by the core energy source at the witch's will. This is truly despicable!!"

"Will Bai Weiran give up because of this? No, he didn't give up. After losing his machete, he adopted a new strategy—yes, the stone slab!! He lifted up the entire stone slab under the witch's feet!!"

"The witch fell down; the attack had effectively struck her—"

"Although it was Bai Weiran's first time piloting a Gundam, he displayed extraordinary control, which is not at all like a beginner piloting a Gundam for the first time. Is this the legendary Gundam genius?"

He—held—down—his—arms—

"He jumped up, grabbed the witch's cockpit, and oh dear, he wanted to forcefully break it open to end the battle—but he didn't expect that the witch's latest creation also had a hidden cannon in its abdomen. The shot went off! It went off!! A perfect hit! The explosion blinded everyone, but don't worry, everyone. As a professional judge, Nana is here to help you, going through fire and water! I'm going to rush in and find out what's going on!!"

"...Oh, Bai Weiran has appeared; he escaped a fatal blow."

"Although we don't know how he escaped, he did escape a fatal blow—no, Bai Weiran's Gundam lost its right hand, and now he only has one hand to fight. Can he handle it?"

"The witch seized the opportunity to launch another attack—wow, she actually launched a barrage of attacks on the seriously injured person simultaneously, how despicable!!"

"Bai Weiran is on the run. He can only run, moving along the edge of the circular arena. But at the same time, he doesn't give up. He runs in circles while gradually getting closer to his opponent. He is so tenacious. Even in a disadvantageous situation, he is still fighting for the dawn of victory. Will the goddess of victory smile upon him... oh no, the goddess of victory did not smile upon him."

"Bai Weiran's Gundam blocked a cannon shot with its left hand, which appears to be damaged and can only be used with difficulty..."

"The Invincible Witch is truly despicable, constantly bombarding unarmed people!!"

"But Bai Weiran didn't give up. He's still running, he's still in the arena—wait, he changed his direction of travel, no longer blindly approaching the Invincible Witch. That's the right thing to do, to escape the shelling range. But from this distance, what weapon does he plan to use to retaliate?"

"The weapons on the initial aircraft were almost completely used up, so what... wait, he's heading towards the judging panel, how could he—"

The pink-haired loli who was enthusiastically broadcasting the news screamed as she was lifted up by the damaged Gundam's left hand.

"Nana, please help me fight back."

Before the pink-haired loli could react, she was thrown out, screaming as she flew in a pink arc straight towards the enemy Gundam.

Yuan Jixi, a judge's assistant who was eating cup noodles on the judging panel, saw this sudden accident and threw the cup noodles into the air and rushed towards the pink-haired loli, trying to save her.

This turn of events was too unexpected. The two rushed towards the Gundam, which was preparing to fire, causing it to pause and reflexively stop all attacks. The luminous blue light from the wooden muzzle instantly dimmed.

Yuan Jixi intercepted the pink-haired loli who was being thrown away in mid-air and carried her in a cool princess carry.

His overly cool move elicited screams from the audience.

The battle-damaged Gundam passed right under them in an instant, and taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to Nana and Yuan Jixi, it used its broken left hand to punch the enemy's cockpit.

Nana poked her head out from mid-air, cursing loudly.

"Mr. William actually used Nana as a weapon! Mr. William is such a scumbag!!"

Bai Weiran ignored it.

Game designer, loves to cheat.

Victory will be achieved by any means necessary!

With one blow, his mangled left hand exploded.

Nana climbed onto Yuan Jixi's shoulder to look around, still mindful of her duties.

"Bai Weiran has launched an effective attack—but unfortunately, this strike failed to penetrate the opponent's defenses, only creating a crack in the cockpit. What should Bai Weiran do... Oh, Bai Weiran has launched another attack! He directly uses the head section, which contains the cockpit, to attack the opponent's cockpit!"

"That's a very dangerous move! If he fails, he won't have time to escape the attack range—"

A loud bang erupted on the field.

The cockpits of both cockpits shattered simultaneously.

"Oh, that attack was dangerous but effective! It was a success! The witch's cockpit has been breached!!!"

"Bai Weiran's actions suggest he's preparing to abandon the Gundam-based strategy!"

"That's right. Sister Mengmeng said that when you can't beat the opponent's monsters with your game cards, you should activate a Quick-Play Spell Card to attack the player directly!"

"Similarly, when you can't beat your tablemate at mahjong, you flip the table and smash their hand!"

Yuan Jixi's facial muscles twitched slightly as he held Nana in his arms.

I feel like something's off about what they said.

"Bai Weiran planned to jump into the Witch's cockpit—but his damaged Gundam couldn't stop the Witch's actions. The Witch escaped in her Gundam! She escaped!"

"Oh, Bai Weiran, having lost both hands and the protection of the cockpit, can only flee in a sorry state."

The battered Gundam ran around the edge of the arena, struggling to dodge the attacks, but the people in the center of the arena fired their cannons with increasing enthusiasm and laughed gleefully.

It pierced through the damaged Gundam's right leg with a single blow.

The damaged Gundam knelt down.

Another blow pierced through the damaged Gundam's left leg.

This trapped him inside, rendering him unable to move.

The blue-eyed older woman, piloting a Gundam, pounced on him, yanked him out of the cockpit, and pinned him to the wall of the circular arena with the Gundam's massive mechanical hand.

“It’s really fun, Mr. Weiran.” She chuckled.

"A game where one side is cheating."

"I thought you would use an intelligence challenge instead of a force challenge."

Use intelligence when force is necessary, and use force when intelligence is necessary.

Mages fight in melee combat, while heavy armored knights use spells. A heavy armored knight who can't use spells isn't a good priest, right?

"That would be more fun, a lively and exciting match."

The blue-eyed mature woman jumped out of her cockpit and walked up to him.

She stood on the ground, looking up at Bai Weiran, who was suspended in mid-air.

“Hey, Mr. Weiran, I’ve been thinking about a strange question lately. It’s strange, but it just suddenly came to mind.”

"What's the problem?"

"...If I, Xia Yanle, did not possess this kind of obsessive and pathological personality."

What will happen if we meet someone like me?

The young man on the wall laughed.

"Then nothing will happen—we'll just become two strangers."

Chapter Five: At Least We Met

Xia Yanle smiled.
