100 A Non-Hosts Anger 3 (2/2)

Sofony's glare went back to Chris.

”You mention the Violent Goddess' name. It means you know she's also like me. Now, if you're so capable, then why don't you try telling your point to Clarissa Guzman? I bet your system has repeatedly warned you about me. But I'm telling you if the one you spoke with is not me but any other host, they would surely be laughing at your lifeless body by now!”

Sofony lifted Wendy and started piggybacking her. On the first step that she took, she swayed a little. It seemed she was already too tired. This whole morning and afternoon, she had practiced shooting until her arms gone sore. Then an hour ago, she had fought with Clarissa in a deadly confrontation.

Now, she was here, physically and mentally drained by both Wendy and Chris...

She stared again at the young man when she heard him speak,

”So in the end, you want to tell me you're already the most reasonable out of all hosts?”

Sofony sarcastically smiled, ”Obviously?”

”Ask yourself what will happen to you if I am Clarissa! I'm sure you won't want to imagine what she will do. Since it seems your memories are already restored, it means you remember how Wendy stabbed a teacher. What if I tell you she's controlled by Clarissa? What if I tell you for that woman, mind-controlling someone to kill is just as easy as breathing?”

”Heed my warning, boy!”

”Don't get yourself into our world! Even I can't ensure my survival. What more of someone like you who's not even a proper host?”

”Also, don't tell about the system or anything related to the system to others. Otherwise, you'll just find yourself killed by one of us!”

”And lastly, don't preach if you yourself can't make a difference! Because no matter how sophisticated your words are, if you yourself can't do anything against the system, then it's nothing but empty talk!”

After the last polite advice, she ignored the guy and continued making way to the exit.

It was honestly not nice to bicker with a non-host like Chris, so she just chose to end it. Anyway, she had already kicked the person and said what she needed to say.

Compared to Clarissa, Chris was a harmless person.

And speaking of that woman, may heaven forgive her, but because of what she did to Wendy, she could no longer see herself ever forgiving the other.

It made her so angry. She never wanted to feel again the same hopelessness and despair she felt earlier when she thought that Wendy had already died.

Hence she vowed to make Clarissa live a life worse than death if ever she survives the shower of bullets!

May heaven forgive her!

.....

”She didn't erase my memories.” Chris murmured after he saw the last strand of hair of that girl vanishing from the doorway.

”Are you saying she's really different?”

Chris' faced turned gloomy. He still felt conflicted, confused and dog tired. However, even though he doesn't want to admit it, Sofony really has a point.

To be honest, when Chris decided to agitate Sofony Mendez, all he wanted was to vent his rage and etched to her mind that she was already causing harm to many people in her surroundings. Of course, he knew he was somehow courting death. But actually, he only dared to say those things because he knew she was still someone who could be reasoned with. Or at least he was betting a host who cared about her friend would be like that.

He shook his head and also started going down the long staircase. Since he was already very tired and hungry, he planned to take the elevator starting from the next floor. The day had been long and unfruitful so he badly wanted to reach home. He already wanted to sleep.

Unfortunately...

A minute after he started descending the stairs, he discovered that he still hadn't reached the next floor.

It was weird because it would normally only take about fifteen seconds to do so. However, he had already climbed down so many steps yet he still hasn't taken a glimpse of the next floor!

He cursed out when another minute passed yet nothing changes. 'Dafuq! What's happening here?! Hey, system! Am I hypnotized or caught in an illusion?!'

Then his heart grew cold because the system gloatingly replied,
