The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Tallulah staggered and almost fell out of the tent, her teeth itching with rage.

"Speak frankly and keep your word. If even you are willing to deceive those infected, deceive those who trust you so much, then who else can these infected people trust in this world? If it comes to that, I advise you, young lady, to find someone to marry as soon as possible and live an honest life. Stop messing around with saving the infected."

When these words were spoken, Tallulah paused as she was about to step out of the tent. She took a deep breath, turned her head, and glanced at Wang Chong with complicated eyes.

"If I continue to deceive them with lies, then what's the difference between me and those villagers... Is he reminding me? But why?" Tallulah's heart was in turmoil, and she suddenly wanted to understand the man behind her.

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet? If you don't want to leave, why don't you warm my bed for me?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

“…” For some reason, Tallulah was not angry this time. After hearing this, she turned her head silently and walked out of the tent.

Chapter 8 Tallulah's Explanation

“…It’s out.”

"Ah."

The Patriot looked at Tallulah, who was preoccupied with her situation. After a brief conversation, the Patriot signaled some shield guards to surround the place. He then took Tallulah, the other shield guards, and White Rabbit, who had come to see the situation but was forcibly taken away, to a suitable place to begin the conversation.

"What is going on now? Who is that person? Please tell me, Talulah." The person who asked the question was not Patriot, but Frost Star. After all, Patriot's voice was not very good now, so he tried not to speak if possible.

"Everyone... before I explain his story, I have something I must reveal to everyone." Tallulah took a deep breath, as if prepared for something, and then said, "Everyone, no matter whether you feel angry or disappointed when you hear this... I hope you can patiently listen to me finish this. This is... my original sin and my past. Now, I don't want to hold back or hide anything from you anymore."

Hearing Tallulah's serious words, Froststar's rabbit ears twitched slightly, and her expression grew serious. She then looked at the Patriot. The Patriot exhaled a puff of white mist and said, "...Go ahead."

"Okay, let's start from Longmen..."

Then, Tallulah began to tell her past, how she was kidnapped, and how she was trained step by step by Black Snake to become the so-called successor, how she became infected, how she denied Black Snake's words, and finally killed him with a sword, and the most crucial thing - "Black Snake's Curse".

"That kind of curse... doesn't that mean that in this process, Talulah, you can't make any mistakes on the path you're taking, you can't have any complaints, you must be as firm as a saint and not be confused at all? How is that possible!" Frost Star was a bystander after all, and after hearing it, he immediately realized the most vicious part of the curse.

"This is simply... as long as its conditions are met, it will push Tallulah completely into the abyss! But how can a person move forward without any confusion or mistakes... Tallulah, you're not saying this?" Frost Star seemed to have noticed something, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense for some reason.

Not only Frost Star noticed this, but even the shield guards present also had a vague sense of it. However, they did not act rashly, but waited to see what the Patriot would think.

"Tallulah... have you committed a crime?" The Patriot finally spoke, and the heavy voice was like a mountain pressing on Tallulah's heart.

"Yes..." Tallulah admitted, "Just two hours ago, I went to look for the whereabouts of the village outskirts... and there, I saw true darkness and evil. I couldn't bear it in the end. I hated them, and once that emotion was ignited, it was completely out of control. In the end, I burned all of them, all of them..."

After saying this, Tallulah felt as if all her strength had been drained from her. Though her body felt weak, her heart felt as if it had been freed. The gloom and chaos within her had involuntarily become clearer.

"Old stubborn... Don't do anything. Let Tallulah explain herself clearly." Frost Star was also very upset after listening to Tallulah's confession of her sins, but when she met Tallulah's eyes that seemed to be relieved after she finished speaking, she decided to believe Tallulah again.

The Patriot nodded as well. Seeing that his father had no objection, Froststar asked directly, "What did you see in that village?"

Tallulah held nothing back, recounting everything that had happened in the village. Afterward, Froststar clenched her fists. The plight of the infected, simply from Tallulah's description, had already filled her with immense rage. How could Tallulah, who had witnessed it all herself, possibly control herself?

"Hey, old stubborn man, this matter cannot be blamed on Tallulah." Frost Star looked at the Patriot and said.

"No..." said the Patriot in a heavy voice.

"Why not? Those guys did that, they deserve to die... As for those women, children and the weak... Tallulah was indeed wrong, but wasn't she completely affected by that curse?" Frost Star said.

"That's not right!" Patriot paused after speaking, then continued, "Firstly, Tallulah, this one incident alone shouldn't have been enough to defeat you... Is there something else that has brought you to this point... Is it the distrust and betrayal of the infected?"

"So that's what you meant, old stubborn man..." Froststar breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Tallulah and asked, "Tallulah, are you under some other pressure that we're not aware of? Since you're being so frank today, why not just tell us everything?"

"Hmm...that's what I was thinking. However, this story probably starts with the first close friend I ever met...Alina."

Tallulah nodded, and then she began to tell the story of her first true friend in her life, a happy and peaceful time. Then, she told how she joined the Reunion Movement and became the leader of the infected...

The speech was long, even a bit boring in the middle. But everyone present listened attentively. When Frost Star heard that whenever Tallulah was troubled, she would turn to the girl named Alina, she had a vague feeling of foreboding... No, she already knew the outcome, because she had remembered who that girl named Alina was.

"You all know what happened later... I carried her back. That dear friend who was always willing to listen to my complaints and always tried her best to enlighten me... She died, died at the hands of those infected people who betrayed me... She never told me who killed her until her death, but I knew it, I knew it very well... But she knew the curse of the black snake, so she refused to tell me until her death, and asked me not to hate. I... I'm sorry for her. In the end, I couldn't hold on."

After saying that, Tallulah closed her eyes. Her tears had already completely dried up in that village.

"Tallulah..." Froststar wanted to say something, but she didn't quite know how to comfort someone. Her heart was choking, and she was growing increasingly angry, furious at this ugly land. Ultimately, Froststar could only turn her attention to her father, the Patriot, to see how he would handle this matter.

"The seeds...were they already planted back then? This is the true secret of the 'Immortal Black Snake' they speak of." The Patriot's tone expressed no emotion, but he raised his right hand and began to reach towards Tallulah's head.

"! Old stubborn man! What are you doing...?" Froststar was about to stop him, but before she took a step, she saw that the Patriot was just stroking Tallulah's head, with no intention of hurting her. She said, "Tallulah... you should have told us earlier. We could have shared the responsibility."

"Yes, Tallulah, if you have any worries in the future, just tell us. We all trust you."

"We were indeed a bit too harsh on you in the past. Please forgive us. After all, we have seen too much intrigue and deception, so we had no choice but to do so."

"I used to think you were too dazzling, Tallulah. But now I realize that you, like us, have your own worries and anguish. It's us who ignored your feelings."

After the Patriot took action, the surrounding shield guards also expressed their comfort.

"I...everyone..." Tallulah felt a pang in her heart and was speechless for a moment.

"...Phew. That's terrifying." Froststar finally calmed down. However, the Patriot's attitude and previous words reminded her of something, so she quickly said, "Wait, Tallulah, you don't look as deeply cursed and completely corrupted as you said."

"Actually..." Tallulah was about to explain, but was interrupted by the Patriot: "It's the man named Wang Chong, right?"

"Wang Chong?" Shuang Xing then remembered that their original purpose was to inquire about Wang Chong. Now, they had come full circle.

"Well, at that time, I was being devoured by the black snake's will..." Tallulah quickly recounted the entire story of her encounter with Wang Chong. She explained how the snake had killed her instantly, how it had devoured and ripped her apart, and how it had inexplicably followed her to the camp.

"Wow? Even your flames can be frozen instantly? It's the same ability as mine. I would like to see it if I have a chance." Frost Star couldn't help but say.

"Yelena!" The patriot said loudly, as if giving a warning.

"I understand, old stubborn man. I won't go looking for him casually." Frost Star said somewhat unhappily.

"This is the general information I know about him. I really couldn't predict his behavior, and I was afraid of him... and before I came out of the tent, I was not prepared to be frank with everyone, so I deceived everyone." Tallulah said apologetically.

Chapter 9: The Inner Guard Attacks

"It's okay, Talulah. You have your own concerns, and you haven't recovered yet. But seeing that the old stubborn man has been thinking about it for so long, could it be that he hasn't thought that there is such a person in the world?" Frost Star looked at the Patriot and asked in confusion.

"Strong body and freezing ability...can perform Originium skills without a spell unit, but is completely unaffected by mineral sickness and is not afraid of contact with infected people...black mist similar to the inner guard...very clear about the ancient black snake curse...Yan Country..." The Patriot panted, silently reciting these clues, and finally had some ideas.

"If his identity as a Yan Country is true, and he possesses such strength, knowledge, and a physique that is not afraid of mineral sickness, then I can only think of one identity - a god or a giant beast from the Yan Country." said the Patriot.

"Giant beast? God? Didn't you talk about that when you were trying to coax me to sleep, old stubborn man? Do such things really exist?" Frost Star frowned and said.

"They do... Before Koschei took me away from my memories, I heard the ancient legends of Yan Country about giant beasts. And actually, according to the information I know, there are indeed several giant beasts walking among the human world in Yan Country. Although they are giant beasts, they can also transform into human forms like us and live with us."

Tallulah recalled how her uncle Wei Yanwu had spoken to her and her sister Chen Huijie about the Yan State giant beast with such a serious look on his face, and some information and characteristics about the Yan State giant beast emerged in her mind.

"Yes... that should be the case. From what I know, the Yan Nation's behemoths possess extremely long lifespans. Because of this, their personalities are often different from those of ordinary humans, and their behavior is completely illogical. They generally act on impulse, treating everyone and everything they encounter with a playful attitude."

As she spoke, Tallulah recounted some of Wang Chong's peculiar behavior, including how her decision to reveal her true feelings was due to his unintentional guidance. Looking back on Wang Chong's eccentricities, they often seemed completely irrelevant, yet they cleverly helped to unravel her inner struggles step by step.

"So this guy followed us here just because he thought it was fun?" Frost Star couldn't help but frowned.

"The thoughts of the giant beast cannot be understood by ordinary people...but surveillance is necessary...Tallulah, do you have any questions?" The Patriot said to Tallulah, who frowned.

"Although this is my guess, there are still many things that don't make sense. It is said that the giant beasts of Yan Country are strictly controlled by the Yan Country government. How could they be so honored to let a giant beast leave their territory? Also... when he was destroying the black snake, he said that he was eyeing my identity and bloodline... Could there be some secret about me that even I don't know?" Tallulah said.

"It doesn't matter. No matter what he plans for you, he has to get over us first." The patriot finished the sentence this time to show his determination.

"A rustling--"

“Tallulah—! Shield brothers—!”

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from a distance. Everyone looked in that direction after hearing the sound. They saw the bear-infected person from before, running towards them carrying an unconscious person on his back.

"It's them—those masked guys spewing black mist are here again! Our scouts were attacked, and we drove them back! Faust…that kid Faust got hit by that damn guy's spear." The Bear Infected lowered the person on his back. Faust's face was tightly closed, in agony, and he had been stabbed in the back by the black spear. His blood had already turned black, and the black spear was still contaminating and robbing Faust of his last hope of life.

"Sasha!" Tallulah was furious and immediately leaned over to give Faust first aid, but the Patriot held her back, saying, "He's fatally wounded... and the power of the kingdom is on him. He can't be saved."

"No...it shouldn't be like this. Captain, please save this child. He has just joined the team and he has a bright future. He shouldn't die here..." The infected person's eyes were red. Although they have been experiencing this kind of death...but if even the child who symbolizes their future died so tragically in front of them, how could they accept it?

"Those damn guys! I'm going to kill them!" Frost Star was also furious when she saw this situation. She immediately prepared to lead the shield guards and the snow monster team to meet the enemy.

"Line up! This is the Emperor's inner guards' most skilled trick, and it also serves as a declaration of war! Everyone, take the signal to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The Patriot naturally didn't hesitate. With a powerful enemy approaching, he had to make all necessary preparations and couldn't afford to worry about these matters. Then, the Patriot turned to look at Tallulah, who was still kneeling on the ground, holding Faust, and said, "Tallulah! For the sake of those who are still alive..."

Tallulah clenched her fists. Tragedy unfolded before her eyes time and again, yet she was powerless to stop it. Was this land destined to devour the weak and the kind, leaving no hope for survival?

"Tallulah!" The Patriot called out Tallulah's name in a deep voice. Tallulah suppressed her grief and said to the Bear Infected, "Sasha... accompany him on his final journey, and then take good care of his body."

Then, Tallulah stood up, wanting to vent all her anger on the executioners who wanted to take the lives of the infected.

The guerrillas attacked one after another, leaving only the bear-infected people wiping their tears and saying sorry words.

"rustle--"

"Leave him to me."

At this moment, the sound of footsteps on the snow was heard along with a man's voice. The bear infected person raised his head after hearing it, and saw that the strange man he met today - Wang Chong appeared in front of him again and stretched out his hand to him.

"How is it?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

……

Outside the camp, only white and black intertwined. Amidst the wind and snow, a group of black-clad guards, emitting a strange black mist and wearing specialized tactical uniforms and masks, appeared on the other side, pressing towards the camp with an oppressive aura.

On the other side of the camp, the shield guards have already formed up, and together with other members of the guerrillas and the battle-hardened infected warriors, they are confronting the oppressive inner guards.

The Patriot, Tallulah, and Froststar were all at the front, ready to charge at any moment. They were just waiting, waiting for the other side to make the move.

Sure enough, an internal security guard came out of the team and stopped 50 meters away from the Patriot.

"Nice to meet you again, Wendigo." The internal guard was obviously the same one he had dealt with last time.

"10 people...what a big team. So you have finally made up your mind to completely eradicate the infected." The Patriot looked directly at the internal guard and said.

"We are not enemies, nor should we become enemies. Under the original blueprint of the empire, you all have your own place. After today, you should be in the position you deserve, and the history of Ursus will remember your contributions. It's a pity that, just like a child who suddenly jumped out and overturned the chessboard while playing chess, the chess pieces that should have been placed in their positions fell off the board due to an accident." The inner guard said in a deep voice.

"So, you have arranged everything from the beginning. Targeting Tallulah, right? This is the real secret of the immortal black snake." The Patriot's eyes began to become sharp, like a sword that wanted to penetrate the body of the inner guard.

Chapter 10: Refining in an Instant

"Do you already know... No, we haven't made any plans, but we know very well that in this land where there is only sin and corruption, it will surely blossom and bear fruit. It's a pity that it was abruptly stopped, and we also have to deal with these follow-up and unstable factors." The internal guard said.

"shut up!"

An angry cry stopped the inner guard from talking to himself. The air began to become scorching hot. The flames on the sword in Tallulah's hand had begun to burn fiercely. After completing a certain black snake curse spell and with the addition of her current emotions, Tallulah was now more passionate and violent than the last time she met the inner guard, and there was a hint of a tyrant in her.

"There are no chess pieces of yours here, and you won't be allowed to manipulate them at will. I won't become what you want to see, at least from today on, you won't be able to see it again!" Tallulah said angrily.

"Anger, hatred... Your emotions are darker than last time, but because the transformation is incomplete, it makes you seem even more mediocre." The inner guard shook his head and said, "One wrong step leads to another. You should return to your original position, Tallulah."

"Oh, are you still going to continue with these meaningless words? Your plot has failed. Even the immortal black snake is dead. Even if you noticed something was wrong, it's too late. And since you think I'm mediocre, then use your neck to test whether my sword and fire are truly mediocre!"

Tallulah had already determined that the ten inner guards who had appeared were all coming to her to lift the curse and restore order. If victory was not guaranteed today, she would rather lead them all away alone than allow them to harm her companions again. Therefore, she tried to step out of the protective line of the shield guards, but before she could take a few steps, the Patriot grabbed her shoulder.

"I've already said that I will follow your ideals and go with you. Don't have any more unnecessary thoughts, Tallulah," said the Patriot.

"...Yeah." Tallulah nodded. Though she had stopped and her anger was suppressed, the Patriot's words only intensified her fighting spirit.

"Do you want to take Tallulah away?" At this time, the Patriot looked at the internal guard and said.

"Not only her, but also that accident. This is our mission this time." The inner guard said slowly.

"I see... If I remember correctly, you've already declared war on us in your own way," the Patriot said gravely. "Then you shouldn't be so close to a Wendigo."

"!!" The inner guard felt something bad in his heart instantly. When he was about to draw his knife, a black shadow infinitely magnified in his field of vision.

"boom!!"

A sudden, violent noise echoed, and the inner guard flew away like a kite with its string cut. Where the inner guard had been standing, the patriot stood as still as a mountain, towering over the snowy plain.

"Pay attention to the contamination left after their death and evacuate in time... and now, the entire army advances!" The voice rang out like a loud bell, and the guerrillas and the infected people took action.

The remaining nine internal guards, faced with this menacing scene, all turned into thick black mist - the "country" began to infect the land, and then stepped forward to engage in battle with the infected warriors.

Froststar and his Yeti squad held back two inner guards, while Tallulah, wielding her flaming sword, engaged one in a one-on-one duel. The Patriot even engaged three inner guards in a direct fight.

But there were still three inner guards left. Like ice-cold killing machines, they charged into the defenses of the infected and the shield guards, harvesting the lives of the infected. You have to know that before, with only Tallulah's leadership, it was already difficult for them to resist two inner guards. Now, without Tallulah's flames, it was impossible for them to resist three inner guards.

Listening to the cries of the infected being slaughtered, Tallulah's grief and indignation grew even stronger, and the sword in her hand grew heavier accordingly. The inner guard confronting Tallulah felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to withstand Tallulah's swift sword and flames, and this could not help but cause a slight wavering in his heart.

"It's time to end it." But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Tallulah. Tallulah was startled, and when she wanted to draw back her sword to block, it was too late.

"Well--!"

Tallulah only felt herself being hit on the side and back, and she fell to the ground in the snow, rolling several times.

"Talulah!" Frost Star wanted to go to support when she saw this, but she couldn't get away because of the alternating attacks from the two inner guards.

"!" The Patriot also noticed the situation, and swung the giant halberd in his hand, smashing it down heavily, but was blocked by the three internal guards who wrestled together.

As for the others, let alone the front line formed by the infected and shield guards, they are already in a state of collapse and are simply unable to take care of themselves.
