I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Noelle stood rooted to the spot, completely stunned by the sudden words.

The principal, seemingly no longer willing to feign innocence, continued in a tone of mockery and shock, "To be honest, I never imagined you'd come this far."

What I mean is... how come you're still alive?

The headmaster looked at Reid next to Noelle, his brows furrowed as he stared intently at Reid. "She's only alive now because of your help, isn't she?"

Your sudden appearance ruined my plans.

"So I really want to ask you why? Helping her... the bounty on the wanted posters outside is tiring you out too!"

Red's blood was spilling on the ground, but Red didn't care.

Reed shook the blood off himself and replied calmly, "For money."

The principal looked slightly surprised, then a sly smile crept onto his lips.

"Haha! Aren't you afraid she'll lie to you? Besides, you don't need to take such a risk to complete her so-called mission."

"The bounty posters are practically plastered in your face. She's right next to you, you could get a huge sum of money, wouldn't that be better?

After listening to what the other person said, Reed began to think...

Yes, I don't need to take so many risks.

Red didn't know why; he didn't even understand himself. He only knew some basic things.

Find money, live, eat, sleep, that's all.

Reid didn't know how to answer, and Noelle, who was standing nearby, was a little scared after hearing it.

Noelle also thought Reed was stupid, incapable of thinking of solutions, and rather slow to grasp the nuances of daily life.

"Oh right, Noelle, and you too, I almost forgot about you..."

Noelle snapped out of her daze, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

The principal ignored Noelle and continued speaking to himself, "Noelle, you are indeed very outstanding; you get first place in almost everything."

"But aren't you being too selfish?"

Noelle looked uneasy and said softly, "I'm selfish? Where am I?!"

The principal interrupted Noel, saying, "You didn't get first place, which seems unbelievable to you. You're even surprised, disbelieving, and resentful!"

"When I suggested a obviously fraudulent method that would guarantee you first place... you nodded in agreement without hesitation."

"And you harbored a deep hatred for the student who took first place from you."

Noelle was clearly flustered and tried to argue, "This is...no...any normal person would experience this! I just..."

The principal continued, "It's a deep-seated hatred. Don't think I didn't see your petty actions!"

"After that, you spread rumors about her, deliberately slandered her in front of others, and even mocked her..."

【remember】

The girl next to Noelle held her hand and whispered, "Isn't this inappropriate? After all, she..."

Noelle flung the girl's hand away, saying angrily, "Heh, she's just an ordinary person from the upscale neighborhood. All that talk about hard work and stuff on stage was disgusting."

[End of memories]

Noelle seemed detached from reality, lost in deep thought.

Yes... why do I hate that person?

Just because the other person took first place from her, a place she clearly earned through hard work.

Noelle realized how heinous her actions were, and her eyes became somewhat dazed.

The principal smiled slyly, as if he had succeeded.

“Redner, did you hear that? If you're in it for the money, you can grab him and hand him over to me right now!”

"If you're actually kind-hearted and want to help her, then you heard what I just said, didn't you? Such malice, hatred, and greed."

"In that case, you don't need to help her anymore."

Noelle was somewhat flustered, even a little desperate.

Noelle also realized that all of this happened because of her. She thought, "I wasn't that selfish. If I hadn't trusted the headmaster so easily, none of this would have happened."

Noel's eyes were tightly closed; he had accepted, and even prepared himself for, Reed to give up on him.

Noelle suddenly relaxed at that moment; she didn't hate Reed for abandoning her.

At the time, he was already being very kind by helping me; maybe he was just being naive...

"You're finally done!" Reed swiftly raised his knife, ran, and slashed at the principal.

The headmaster was completely unprepared for this situation, his eyes filled with shock, and in a panic, he used magic to teleport a short distance.

The principal opened his eyes again and saw the blood that was missing from his left arm.

"Aaaaaah!! My hand!!!" The principal bent over, covering his left hand with his right.

He looked at Reid with a face full of confusion and fear.

Reed then responded to the principal, "You rambled on and on, and that smug look in your eyes was really annoying."

"But you mean to say that Noelle isn't a good person, right?"

Noelle was surprised to open her eyes, because it was the first time Reed had called her Noelle...

The principal roared, his eyes blazing with anger, "Yes!! So why are you doing this?! She's selfish and..."

Reed interrupted, "So what are you thinking? I'm not a good person either, I'm not a kind person, I'm just a bad person, that's all."

"I don't consider myself a good person; you're just forcing that label onto me."

Reed looked at Noel beside him. "I don't know what to choose. You know how much we've been together."

Reed remembered something Alice had told him before: that girl, the one he had saved before.

【remember】

Alice glanced at Reed, who was standing to the side, refusing to apologize to the customer for breaking the bottle.

Alice patted Reed on the shoulder, and after Reed turned his face towards her, Alice smiled at him.

"Brother Reed, it was wrong of you to break the bottle. You have to apologize and make amends when you do something wrong, otherwise you'll cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Upon hearing the word "a lot of trouble," Reed reluctantly replied, "So what do I do? I'm not going to apologize."

Alice then bowed to the guests first, saying sorry and promising to compensate them.

Seeing this, Reed had no choice but to imitate and copy Alice's movements.

The guest, seeing that the matter was clearly none of Alice's business, still helped the masked man out of a predicament.

The customer could only wave his hand, accept the compensation, and leave.

Alice playfully nudged Reid, thinking smugly, "See? It's very simple."

"If a mistake can be undone and remedied, then do your best! No matter what, you must correct your mistakes!"

These simple words were unknowingly etched into Reed's mind...

[End of memories]

Reed said, "Apologize for what you did wrong, make her pay. I don't know what nice things to say, you know what I mean."

Reed's words were stiff, even somewhat speechless.

But Noelle, who heard this, didn't think so; she looked at Reid with tears in her eyes.

A flicker of surprise crossed her tearful eyes, followed by a bitter smile. "Reed... will you still help me?"

His brow relaxed instantly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "You're so silly... I'll apologize to that classmate..."

The wind blew in through the window, gently ruffling Noelle's bloodstained dress and trench coat.

The wind blew the mask off, revealing a smile.

Through the window, one can see a girl standing with no hands, and a monstrous figure beside her.

An elderly man, kneeling in front of the girl, clutching his bleeding hand.

You can still see walls and floors covered in blood and corpses.

How beautiful and terrifying this scene is!

The principal was also stunned, not expecting that Reed would not hesitate at all.

He stared at Reid as he slowly approached, and cursed wildly, "You idiot! She has nothing left! And you're still so stupid! You monster!"

"You ignorant monster! You killed me! Those ten will definitely not let you get away with this!"

Reed asked, "Ten what?"

The principal said, "You'll find out, hehe!"

Noelle, standing nearby, also asked, "Tell me how to restore your hands!"

But the headmaster chuckled and revealed the answer, leaving Noelle in despair once more.

"There's no... no way! You killed God!"

“Those are hands! Hundreds of hands, thousands of hands! Tens of thousands of hands!! Tens of thousands of hands…”

Before the mad principal could finish speaking, Red sliced ​​him in two.

Noelle collapsed to the ground, muttering, "How is this possible... without hands..."

Before Noelle could react, a series of footsteps suddenly came from under the floorboards.

"Redner and Noelle are up there!"

"attack!!"

A group of people wearing trench coats, black sunglasses, and black masks, carrying weapons, ran up to the third floor.

Reed turned around and saw that among the men in black trench coats, there was another person dressed differently standing in the middle...
