[China, Tianjin--Zhi's Residence]

Xiao Mei Zhi sneezed out of the blue. It was a hint that someone must have commented bad about her. Obviously, those players she killed was her hypothesis. They must have hated her character by now. She did not kill them on purpose, the game rules are to be obeyed. So what can she do about it? Kill. Just continue killing.

She glanced back down at her injured foot then she came across to imagine that it was an opportunity to continue practicing her character in a casual mode.

With a sharp, tingling feeling from her foot, she mumbled

"Pain do not come back yet." Hoping that her words would take effect. It was every so often she would glance back to the game screen and peek back to the foot injury. As her in game character was moving.

She sighed, "Rest to wake up happy." She recollected herself. Even if her positive opinions were holding back the negative thoughts. Nonetheless, she has the intention to feel an opposing heavyweight from her head.

"Game on."

She then guided her in-game character towards the car before she hopped in. She was now driving 'Her' so-called Lamborghini. With the background music that was still playing, she lowered down the media players volume from 100 to 20. With a clear noise in reality she can now hear the sound of a few vehicles that passed through their housing area. Which was not there before.

She catches a glimpse at the window. There was a beam from a cars' headlights coming over and illuminated her entire room for twelve seconds.

"What would it be like if I have a Lamborghini in real life?" She carried that thought while proceeding with what she was doing in the game. But it disappeared the moment RoadKillerRifle talk through its mic,

"I do not think this is about team work anymore. Lets just try to win this and be on the list. However, I do not think I would like to join again in this kind of team. The setup should be about cooperation but I feel we are doing this separately now."

Xiao Mei Zhi wanted to explain something but it will just turn stuff the other manner around. She did not even believe RK's words. Two option: One was-- No one can be trusted by words nor action. Second--He would like to join the team in the next group battle.

It was already understandable. People like him just say 'No he does not want to play' but at the same time it was a 'Yes I do want to play'

"You know guys, I just realized that Rage can be a car passing by at some bodies house. She entirely lights you up for a quick amount of time but then she will give you a darkness that even your shadow will disappear with it."

"Road, I think you crossed the line."

BattleAxeEmpress stops RoadKillerRifles' remark about her. Empress does not even have a clue about Rages true value. "Empress, if you only meet me in real life I would not even dare put a trust on people like you. No one should be trusted even if you put up a good word. Everything is a big lie." She was not ready to sulk in with questions about people, but she said it-- off mic. Because it was the truth. Or was it not?

She stopped her character in the game at Empress's location.

How? . . how can she keep up with being optimistic when every one was trying to make her think pessimistic? Her value was in line with a negative infinity.

Then both of them left the Factory while riding their chosen vehicle. The factory was the place were Empress was located.

With her being swallowed slowly with unfavorable thoughts, Empress began a new subject,

"How about we race now? The first one who goes to the 'Peak' will get diamonds!"

Xiao Mei Zhi did not feel positive after hearing Empress talk. She muted the speakers from her netbook. With her mood going less and less energetic, she can only do one thing right, "Finish the game now!" She thought screaming the words out loud would take out the brewing unpleasant vibes.

But it made her worse.

Xiao Mei Zhi did not know for sure, but she was pretty sure that the feeling she felt has happened before --When RoadKillerRifle told her 'You are not worthy to be here.'

And it goes on . . .

and on. .

Some voices echoed now inside her head, 'You could have been aborted.'

She was still looking at the in-game screen. Road, Chase, and Empress that was near her almost reach the 'Peak'.

'Your mother chose to keep you? A whores' daughter will also grow up to be one of those future whore generations!'

'You should just go away together with your mother!'

A lot of different voice from her past came inside her mind. The past that she does not want to go back.

What was happening to her? She was bullied at school before RK even came into the view. But it did not made her feel like this until now.

'I would never trust anyone ever again!'

Xiao Mei Zhi's fear paralyzed her for a minute.

At the same time her in-game character just arrived at the 'Peak' together with her squad.

She had never given the group a chance to kill. She was in a hurry to end the game. She shoot the enemies that were seen on spot.

[RagingLightSpeed killed Player 12]

Her in game screen counted the endless streak of kills.

". . ."

[RagingLightSpeed killed Player 8]

8/60 -- eight players left. Which means she has only to kill 4 more. The 4 enemies may be playing alone and the rest of their team members already died.

She must clear it up. But before she was able to do it, the voices came back.

'You are not worthy to be here'

'Not worthy'

"Stop!" She begged her thoughts to evaporate while shooting on the field.
