[The 'High-Cloud Quintet' gradually rose to fame.]
[You secretly observe Jingliu, even resorting to underhanded methods like stalking and tailing, trying to find her weakness.]
[The 'High-Cloud Quintet' gained more and more reputation, and with their five members being handsome men and dashing women, they attracted many fans. Some irrational fans started doing the same as you—stalking, secretly photographing, and so on—which actually became your perfect cover.]
'...'
Faced with the Villain Simulator getting wilder and more evil, what could Seth say?
[By chance, you discover Jingliu shopping with a white-haired fox girl, both of them wearing smiles that reveal genuine joy from the heart.]
[This is the first time you've seen Jingliu show such a smile. The way she looks at that white-haired fox girl clearly goes beyond ordinary friendship.]
['Master, I've found your weakness! Hehehe!' You rejoice wildly in your heart. This foxian girl named 'Baiheng' is the white moonlight in Jingliu's heart, an untouchable reverse scale.]
Seeing this, Seth immediately understood the reason for his previous failure: Jing Yuan's status in Jingliu's heart wasn't high enough.
Jing Yuan was just a disciple, and because of his relationship as the senior disciple, Jingliu's heart would subconsciously reject and guard against Jing Yuan, who was also a disciple.
Seth awkwardly wiped the tip of his nose with his finger.
Poor little Jing Yuan, from childhood to adulthood, he's always been screwed over by him. As the senior brother, he's practically become a money-grubbing monk.
Fortunately, only Jingliu retains memories from the simulation. If Jing Yuan did too, he'd be offending two big shots at once—that scene would be thrilling just to think about.
[After finding Jingliu's weakness, you begin using your authority to collect all information on Baiheng.]
[Baiheng is an excellent pilot and also a Nameless. The Nameless belong to the Trailblazer's faction and do not hold positions in the Xianzhou.]
[This means Baiheng is not part of the Xianzhou system, so it would be difficult for you to use your authority to coerce her.]
[But this doesn't stump the innately evil you.]
[You quickly come up with an extremely insidious plan.]
'Innately evil? System, this is slander, you know!? You're slandering me!'
Seth, who in his life had never done bad things nor good things and considered himself an ordinary person, loudly complained in his heart.
The innately evil simulator ignored him and continued the simulation.
[You impersonate Jingliu and lure Baiheng into the Shackling Prison, guiding her step by step through secret paths known only to insiders, leading her to the area where heavy criminals are held...]
[The guards and golden soul-reapers capture Baiheng on the spot.]
Seth couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
If it was just accidentally entering the Shackling Prison, with the reputation of the 'High-Cloud Quintet' and the connections of Dan Feng, Jingliu, and others, they could still bail Baiheng out.
Unfortunately, to ensure everything was foolproof, 'Seth' directly led Baiheng to the area holding heavy criminals like Hoolay.
If she was just wandering at the entrance, it could be called an accident. But going straight through secret paths known only to insiders to the deep heavy criminal area.
If this isn't premeditated prison break planning after scouting the internal structure of the Shackling Prison, then what is?!
This scheme is indeed insidious and cunning, worthy of the innately evil...!?
Sure enough.
[Baiheng is captured. Yingxing and Dan Feng come to plead for her, but you righteously refuse. Somehow, they convince the current Luofu General Teng Xiao, and General Teng Xiao personally comes to you to demand her release.]
[With your current status, you have to give face to the Luofu General.]
[But with your cunning and treachery, you had anticipated this and prepared in advance.]
[Under your instructions, the news of 'One of the High-Cloud Quintet intruding into the Shackling Prison with intent to break out prisoners' quickly spreads throughout the entire Xianzhou Luofu. Now, even the Luofu General can't withstand the pressure and force you to release her privately.]
'...'
Seeing this, Seth was completely numb.
The 'Seth' in the simulation was insidious, like a completely different person.
He couldn't help but ask the system:
'System, is this really simulating me? How do I feel like this isn't me at all? The personality difference is too big. Am I really this evil?'
The system temporarily paused the simulation and replied:
[Since this system is the Villain Simulator, all simulations are based on the host's personality and experiences, amplified and guided by the desires and evil thoughts in the host's heart.]
Now Seth understood.
In reality, he was just an ordinary person, neither good nor evil, in a neutral alignment.
In the simulation, the system deliberately amplified his desires and guided him toward the evil alignment—the more evil, the higher the final evaluation.
Seth quickly let go of the burden in his heart. Even if the other party had memories, the simulation was just a simulation, like a dream, and wouldn't affect their real body.
You can't convict someone for r@pe just because they had a wet dream about it.
Moreover, to have enough strength to survive major events in the future, even if it meant offending many people, he would continue the simulation.
After the system explained, it resumed the simulation.
A faint anticipation rose in Seth's heart; he had a premonition that the simulation was about to enter the part he was most looking forward to.
[Late at night, an uninvited guest arrives at your mansion. She is the person you've been waiting for a long time—your master, Jingliu.]
["Master, it's been a while. This disciple misses you dearly."]
[You suppress the burning desire in your heart, trying hard to act like a respectful disciple, bowing reverently to Jingliu.]
[You have a premonition that tonight, your wish will come true.]
[So you're not in a hurry at all. At this moment, you're like a highly patient chef, slowly 'preparing' the 'ingredients' before you, all to create the most supreme 'delicacy.']
[Your respect and reverence are all for the strong contrast at the moment of harvest.]
[Having spent so much time together, with Jingliu's understanding of you, she knows this is all your scheme. A flash of disgust and killing intent appears in her eyes.]
[But she has no choice; she can only set aside her dignity and pride to beg you, begging you, this rebellious disciple she utterly despises.]
[Her eyes finally return to calm, with only indifference left in them.
"Speak, what exactly do you want to let Baiheng go?"]
[You smile.]
Just as Seth was engrossed in reading, the system suddenly popped up a prompt.
[Special plot triggered. Enter immersion mode? (Yes/No)]
Seth unhesitatingly chose 'Yes'.
In an instant, Seth felt the world spinning.
When he came to, he had directly entered the simulation.
