Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Deep within the ancient palace, Shen Ying had just finished speaking well of the male protagonist, Gao Su. At this moment, her face was still beaming with joy as she secretly rejoiced at having successfully completed the mission before the game ended.

However, in that instant, without warning, everyone around them collapsed like puppets suddenly without power. They fell in all sorts of positions, some falling sideways, some backward, and some even piling up on top of each other.

Almost at the same instant everyone fell, the person next to Shen Ying suddenly drew a knife with lightning speed and stabbed Gao Su, who was smiling in front of her. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Shen Ying was filled with astonishment. She abruptly turned to look at Lan Xiao, only to see a bright, innocent smile on his blood-splattered face. Shen Ying's mind went blank for a moment, countless fragments of memory flashing through her head like lightning. Each fragment contained a blurry, indistinct face, yet she knew with absolute clarity that every face was facing her with the same bright, innocent smile.

The system's cold, indifferent voice rang out: "Mission complete. Exit the game."

In the quiet night, the apartment was dimly lit. Shen Ying nestled on the sofa, engrossed in scrolling through her phone, enjoying this moment of relaxation.

Suddenly, a strange feeling struck her without warning, making her heart skip a beat. That familiar chill instantly took hold of her mind and body, as if a sinister atmosphere was permeating the surroundings.

Shen Ying unconsciously put down her phone, her eyes nervously scanning the room. Every dark corner seemed especially suspicious now, her breathing became more rapid, and her heart pounded like a drum.

As her gaze swept to the corner of the room, a cockroach the size of a thumb came into view.

But in Shen Ying's eyes, this tiny cockroach had been magnified infinitely, like a ferocious monster.

Its dark brown carapace looked particularly sinister at this moment, and its slender tentacles swayed wildly, stirring restlessly in the darkness, proclaiming its arrogance and extreme conceit.

Just as Shen Ying was staring at it in horror, the arrogant cockroach suddenly flapped its wings and flew straight at her.

"Ah!" Shen Ying's terrified scream echoed throughout the room. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she frantically waved her hands in the air, trying to stop this terrifying "uninvited guest."

Almost at the same instant, a deafening bang suddenly rang out, and the door was kicked open without warning, smashing the cockroach that was rushing towards Shen Ying to the ground with overwhelming force and absolute precision.

Shen Ying was so shocked that she froze instantly, her eyes wide open, her mouth slightly agape, her mind blank, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened. Her body stiffened on the spot, her thoughts seemingly frozen by this sudden turn of events, and she could only stare blankly at the door that had flown in.

Before Shen Ying could recover from the shock and her mind was still in a daze, she was suddenly embraced in a warm embrace by a powerful yet gentle force.

Once Shen Ying's mind finally returned to normal, she forcefully pushed the person away, staring at them with wide eyes, her face full of astonishment and helplessness.

What's wrong with this usually strange neighbor? Who would suddenly kick down someone else's door without saying a word?

Although she accidentally killed the cockroach that terrified her, what about her own bedroom door!

Shen Ying pointed blankly at the pitiful door lying on the ground and asked the neighbor, "Brother, what are you doing? Should I thank you or ask you to pay for my door?"

"I heard you scream and thought you were in danger," the neighbor said.

Shen Ying: Was it my fault or was it my own? The other person only kicked down my door because they were worried about me.

Shen Ying had originally intended to give the man a severe dressing down, but the message emanating from him clearly indicated: I am completely innocent, I did not do it on purpose. This situation made Shen Ying swallow back the words of accusation that were about to spill from her mouth.

Leaving her somewhat bewildered neighbor aside, Shen Ying stared at the fallen door, filled with helplessness and exasperation. "What did this person eat to grow up like that? They're incredibly strong! They actually managed to kick the door away with one kick!"

The door, now detached from its frame, lay askew on the ground, its once smooth surface now covered with deep dents and scratches. The lock was completely twisted and deformed, its metal parts scattered and broken, as if telling the story of the immense impact it had suffered.

Large patches of paint had peeled off the door panel, revealing the rough material underneath, making it look mottled and ugly. The door frame was also broken, the jagged edges a shocking sight. The entire door looked shaky and precarious, as if it would fall apart at the slightest touch, completely losing its function and dignity as a door.

"But the landlord bought this door. Did he buy a cheap, low-quality one? But it can't be this bad. It got kicked into this terrible state. I'm so unlucky to run into something like this." Shen Ying frowned, muttering to herself, shocked by her neighbor's strength and filled with resentment towards the unreliable door the landlord had bought.

Shen Ying sighed helplessly, took out her phone, and dialed the landlord's number to explain the situation. After briefly reporting the situation to the landlord, she sincerely assured him that she would take responsibility for compensation.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ying immediately began searching for a suitable door online. She carefully compared various styles and materials, her eyes almost blurring from looking at them. Finally, she chose a door she liked and quickly sent the picture to the landlord.

The landlord quickly replied, agreeing to her choice. Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately contacted the installation technician.

While Shen Ying was busy with these things, the neighbor silently walked towards the door that he had kicked and wrecked beyond recognition. He effortlessly lifted the door and carried the twisted and deformed door panel and broken frame outside. Then, he found some tools and carefully cleaned up the remaining door fragments and screws on the ground.

After dealing with the door, he turned his gaze to the dead cockroach that had terrified Shen Ying. He frowned, tightly wrapped the cockroach in a tissue, quickly walked to the toilet, threw it in, and then swiftly pressed the flush button.

After doing all this, the neighbor silently walked over and sat down next to Shen Ying, still without saying a word.

Soon, the installer arrived at Shen Ying's place with the new door. With a series of clanging sounds, the new door was securely installed. Looking at the brand-new door, Shen Ying felt a pang of heartache; her money…

By the time the job was finished, it was already past midnight. Her neighbor had been standing quietly watching the whole time, and only went back to his next-door apartment after the installer left.

Looking at the newly installed door, Shen Ying initially wanted to ask her neighbor to reimburse her for the cost. But then she thought about it again; the neighbor probably thought she was in danger, which is why they impulsively kicked the door so dramatically. They meant well but did something wrong; it wasn't intentional.

And her neighbor, who especially loved cooking, would often bring her delicious food and take good care of her. "Well, I guess I'll just consider it a small way of repaying her for all the kindness she's received!"
