[The "High-Cloud Quintet" gradually rose to fame.]
[You secretly observed Jingliu, even resorting to despicable methods like stalking and tailing her, trying to find her weak spot.]
[The fame of the "High-Cloud Quintet" grew larger and larger, and with its mix of handsome men and formidable women, they gained many fans. Some of the more irrational fans began to engage in behaviors like stalking and taking secret photos, just like you, which in turn became your perfect cover.]
'...'
Faced with a Villain Simulator whose paths were getting wilder and more evil, what else could Victor say?
[By a chance encounter, you discovered Jingliu shopping with a white-haired Foxian girl. The smiles on their faces revealed a joy that came from the bottom of their hearts.]
[This was the first time you had ever seen Jingliu smile like that. The look in her eyes as she gazed at the white-haired Foxian girl clearly transcended the bounds of ordinary friendship.]
["Master, I've found your weakness! Hehehe!" You were ecstatic. This Foxian girl before you, named "Baiheng," was the idealized love in Jingliu's heart, her most untouchable weak spot.]
Seeing this, Victor immediately understood the reason for his last failure: Jing Yuan's position in Jingliu's heart wasn't high enough.
Jing Yuan was just a disciple, and because of his own status as the senior disciple, Jingliu would subconsciously reject and be wary of Jing Yuan, who was also just a fellow disciple.
Victor awkwardly rubbed the tip of his nose with his finger.
Poor little Jing Yuan. He had been getting screwed over by him since they were young. He, the senior disciple, was practically a professional at making things difficult.
Thankfully, only Jingliu would retain memories of the simulation. If Jing Yuan did too, he would have offended two major figures at once. Just thinking about that scenario was a terrifying thrill.
[After finding Jingliu's weak spot, you began to use your power and influence to collect all information on Baiheng.]
[Baiheng was an excellent pilot and also a Nameless. The Nameless belong to the Trailblaze faction and do not hold official positions on the Xianzhou.]
[This meant that Baiheng was not part of the Xianzhou's system, and it would likely be difficult for you to use your authority to coerce her.]
[But this was no obstacle for someone as innately evil as you.]
[You quickly thought of a very insidious plan.]
'Innately evil? System, you know that's slander, right!? You're slandering me!'
Victor, who considered himself an ordinary person who had never done anything particularly good or bad in his life, complained loudly in his mind.
The 'innately evil' simulator ignored him and continued the simulation.
[You impersonated Jingliu, lured Baiheng into the Prison of Shackling Souls, and guided her step-by-step through a secret path known only to internal personnel, leading her to the area where high-profile criminals were imprisoned...]
[The guards and Aurumaton Spectral Envoy captured Baiheng on the spot.]
Victor couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
If she had merely trespassed into the Prison of Shackling Souls by mistake, with the reputation of the "High-Cloud Quintet," plus the connections of people like Dan Feng and Jingliu, they still could have bailed Baiheng out.
Unfortunately, to ensure there were no mistakes, "Victor" had led Baiheng directly to the area where high-profile criminals like Hoolay were imprisoned.
If she had just been wandering near the entrance, it could have been passed off as accidental trespassing. But to directly take a secret path known only to personnel to reach the high-security area deep inside...
What could this be other than a premeditated prison break, planned after having scouted the internal layout of the Prison of Shackling Souls?!
The plan was truly insidious and cunning, just as one would expect from someone innately evil...!?
Victor was immediately reminded of the classic scene from Water Margin, "Lin Chong Accidentally Enters the White Tiger Hall." The current situation was a perfect parallel.
(Water Margin is a 14th-century Chinese historical novel.)
And just as he expected.
[Baiheng was arrested. Yingxing and Dan Feng came one after another to plead for her, but you refused them with righteous conviction. Somehow, they even managed to persuade the current Luofu General, Teng Xiao, to personally come and ask you for her release.]
[Given your current status, you still had to give face to the Luofu General.]
[However, with your cunning and treachery, you had long anticipated this scene and made preparations in advance.]
[At your instruction, the news that "One of the High-Cloud Quintet broke into the Prison of Shackling Souls in a premeditated prison break" quickly spread throughout the entire Xianzhou Luofu. Now, not even the Luofu General could withstand the public pressure and have you release her privately.]
'...'
Seeing this, Victor was completely dumbfounded.
The "Victor" in the simulation was so insidious he seemed like a different person.
He couldn't help but ask the system:
'System, is this simulation really me? I feel like this isn't me at all. The personality difference is just too great. How could I possibly be this evil?'
The system temporarily paused the simulation and replied:
[As this system is a Villain Simulator, all scenarios are simulated by referencing the host's personality and experiences, then amplifying and guiding the desires and evil thoughts within the host's heart.]
Victor understood now.
In reality, he was just an ordinary person, neither good nor evil—firmly in the neutral camp.
In the simulation, the system would intentionally amplify his desires and guide him toward the evil alignment, as greater evil resulted in a higher final evaluation.
Victor quickly let go of his mental burden. Even if the other person retained memories, a simulation was ultimately just a simulation, equivalent to having a dream, and it wouldn't physically affect them in reality.
After all, you couldn't be convicted of a crime just because someone else had an erotic dream involving you.
Besides, to gain enough strength to survive the major upcoming events, he would continue with the simulations, even if it meant offending many people.
After the system finished its explanation, the simulation resumed.
A faint sense of anticipation rose in Victor's heart. He had a premonition that the simulation was about to enter the part he had been looking forward to the most.
[Night had fallen. An unexpected guest arrived at your residence. It was the person you had been waiting for for so long: your master, Jingliu.]
["Master, it's been a long time. Your disciple has missed you dearly."]
[You suppressed the blazing desire in your heart, forcing yourself to put on an appearance of a respectful disciple and bowing to Jingliu with the utmost reverence.]
[You had a feeling that tonight, your wish would finally be granted.]
[Therefore, you were in no hurry. At this moment, you were like an extremely patient chef, slowly "preparing" the "ingredient" before you, all to create the most supreme "delicacy."]
[Your reverence and your respect were all meant to create a sharp contrast for the final moment of harvest.]
[Having spent so much time with you, Jingliu knew you well enough to understand this was all your scheme. A flash of disgust and killing intent crossed her eyes.]
[But she had no choice. She could only cast aside her dignity and pride to beg you—this rebellious disciple whom she utterly loathed.]
[Her eyes finally became calm, with only cold indifference remaining in their depths.
"Speak. What exactly will it take for you to let Baiheng go?"]
[You smiled.]
Just as Victor was watching with great relish, the system suddenly displayed a prompt.
[A special story event has occurred. Enter Reality Mode? (Yes/No)]
Victor chose "Yes" without hesitation.
In an instant, Victor felt the world spin around him.
By the time he came to his senses, he had entered the simulation directly.
