Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Shi Qi slid her fingers down and stroked Si Yan's cheek: "Although this life belongs to me, I'm giving you the choice, and I believe you will make the right decision."

Si Yan choked up and said, "But without you, how am I supposed to live in this world?"

Shi Qi's tone was somewhat like coaxing a child: "In that case, shall we make a deal?"

Seeing Si Yan nod, Shi Qi put on a reassuring smile and continued, "Once the vaccine is successfully developed and the world is at peace, you'll come and stay with me, okay?"

Tears continued to stream down Si Yan's face. After a long while, he finally nodded: "If there really is an afterlife, don't forget to wait for me."

No sooner had he said this than Si Yan suddenly lost consciousness.

----

After working in the lab for most of the day, Jiang Weilan was just about to take a break when the lab door was opened from the outside.

Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Weilan was taken aback: "What brings you here?"

The person who arrived was none other than Si Yan, whom Jiang Weilan had just seen half a day ago. She never expected to see this busy man, Si Yan, again after only half a day.

Si Yan walked towards him without saying a word. Only when he got closer did Jiang Weilan see his calm expression, which was as still as a stagnant pool.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Weilan didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just watched him walk up to her.

Just as he was still guessing Si Yan's intentions, Si Yan, who had stopped a second earlier, opened his palm and placed it in front of him...

A beautiful, translucent crystal, which upon closer inspection faintly glows with iridescent colors, lies quietly in his palm.

"What is this?" Jiang Weilan sensed that Si Yan was handling the crystal with some utmost care.

Although Jiang Weilan's observation was written all over her face, Si Yan's expression remained unchanged: "The Zombie King's crystal core...you can keep it..."

Jiang Weilan never expected that Si Yan could obtain the Zombie King's crystal core in half a day, so when he saw this crystal he had never seen before, he never even considered that possibility.

"How did you get here so fast..." Jiang Weilan almost instinctively wanted to ask his question, but then he stopped himself.

How exactly did Si Yan manage to obtain the Zombie King's crystal core within half a day without ever having seen it before? And considering Si Yan's clearly strange state when he saw me...

The answer seemed obvious to Jiang Weilan at this moment: "Is it time to start?"

Si Yan remained silent, but Jiang Weilan interpreted this silence as tacit agreement. He frowned and said, "I've had my suspicions about his identity for a long time, but I never expected it to be..."

"You two are close, he didn't hurt you, did he?"

These words struck a nerve with Si Yan. Almost as soon as Jiang Weilan finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past his face, cutting a gash in his cheek.

Just as Jiang Weilan was about to reach out to touch the wound on her face, Si Yan grabbed her collar: "What makes you think that someone who is willing to sacrifice their life to make a vaccine would do something to hurt me?"

"Or do you think I have the ability to kill the zombie king?"

Seeing Si Yan's eyes turn red in an instant, Jiang Weilan dared not speak carelessly for a moment, and could only apologize, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made assumptions about others."

Although she knew Si Yan wouldn't do anything to her, Jiang Weilan was still afraid when she saw his murderous aura.

After a moment, Si Yan let out a long sigh and finally let go of his hand: "Go and develop the vaccine." Then he left.

Released, Jiang Weilan straightened her rumpled collar, still feeling a bit shaken, and watched as Si Yan's figure completely disappeared from her sight.

——Two years later——

"As of today, the zombie virus has been effectively controlled worldwide; the number of zombies has decreased to less than a thousand; and global security has been basically guaranteed."

"On behalf of all humanity, I would like to say to all the heroes on the front lines of the fight against the zombie virus: 'Thank you for your contributions to all humankind'..."

The news, which had just been restored to the communication network, was reporting on a hopeful future for the world. In the quiet residence, Si Yan turned off the only sound-making device, then bowed his head and kissed his outstretched palm with deep affection.

A crystal core, so small it was almost invisible to the naked eye, was held solemnly in the palm of the hand.

Fortunately, vaccine development doesn't require all the crystal nuclei, which has been Si Yan's only wish for the past two years...

Clenching his fist again, Si Yan said as if talking to himself, "I've done what I promised you, now it's time to fulfill our agreement—"

After saying that, Si Yan, without changing his expression, plunged a dagger into his own heart...

When Shi Qi opened his eyes, he received a message that all his missions were completed. However, whether the missions were completed or not was no longer something he cared about.

Before 007 could react, Shi Qi rolled out of bed and ran out.

"Host? Host!" By the time 007 finished shouting, Shi Qi had already run out of the room.

The outside environment is still as antique as Shi Qi's room, and it is similar to the fairyland imagined by the people in the small world where Shi Qi lived. However, compared to the fairyland, the scenery here has many more cyberpunk elements.

This was the first time since the beginning of the era that I had stepped out of this so-called "system space"—no, perhaps it shouldn't be called the first time...

Along the way, Shi Qi saw many systems in animal form, like 007, and even some "humans" that he had "never seen in the room before." When they saw Shi Qi, their faces were filled with shock instead of displeasure.

Shi Qi completely disregarded 007 behind him and the shocked bystanders. What he was thinking now was: the time flow between the Main God Space and the Small World was vastly different, so if he went there now, the time should be just right.

Once 007 caught up, he realized where Shi Qi wanted to go, so he cautiously asked, "Master... you remember everything?"

Shi Qi simply gave a soft "hmm" and continued on his way to his destination without pausing for a moment.

Upon hearing Shi Qi say "hmm," 007 immediately shut up. He suddenly dared not recall what he had done in the little world...

This impulse continued until they reached the door of someone's residence. Just as 007 was about to enter, he found that Shi Qi had stopped in his tracks.

For some reason, Shi Qi suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, as if he were returning home. He feared that the intimacy in the small world was all fake, and that once he stepped through this door, everything would return to square one...

While Shi Qi was still hesitating, a very familiar voice came from inside: "Is that Xiao Qi outside?"
