I Turned the Villainess System Over to the Government - Chapter 3
Shen Yi, his face flushed, stumbled onto the heart-shaped round bed strewn with rose petals.
Wearing nothing but a silk slip dress, I suddenly wrapped my arms around him from behind.
My fingertips brushed lightly over his burning Adam’s apple. I pulled him back into my soft embrace and whispered into his ear,
“Ah Yi, let me help you…”
Shen Yi gave a couple of faint, indistinct responses, and I immediately reached for his clothes, impatient to undo them.
What I got in return was a resounding slap.
The redness in Shen Yi’s eyes wasn’t lust.
It was fury.
“Get out!”
I clutched my cheek and fled, heartbroken by my misplaced devotion.
Shen Yi’s long, bamboo-jointed fingers yanked the pure white blanket over himself, hiding the release of his unbearable desire.
[Mission complete. Item obtained: “Charm.” Makes a designated target listen to you, believe you, adore you, and obey you. Usable duration: 6 hours.]
I put on the coat handed to me by the logistics team and told Officer Li,
“Mission complete.”
Officer Li led the others into the room.
“All right, turn the air-conditioning on. Don’t let Shen Yi overheat.”
Still wiping sweat from his forehead, Shen Yi reached under the blanket, pulled out a specimen cup, and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor beamed as he shook Shen Yi’s hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your contribution to the national sperm bank.”
Shen Yi said, “So under a specific ritual, severing the anchor point by which the evil will imprisons my soul will greatly weaken its power, correct?”
The doctor: “Huh?”
Officer Li hurried the doctor out.
“It’s nothing. Kids grow up and start having strange ideas the rest of us can’t understand.”
In the next room, Xiao Heng held an ice pack to my face and asked with concern,
“You okay?”
I thought for a moment.
“I slapped you, and then Shen Yi slapped me.”
“So when are you going to slap Shen Yi? Then the three of us will be even.”
The [Charm] item only lasted six hours, so the organization arranged just one assignment for me.
At a small town on Hua Country’s southern border, on a broad concrete grain-drying yard.
Two sides faced off, tension stretched to the breaking point.
Wearing a bulletproof vest and a gas mask, I sat inside an armored vehicle and rolled right into the middle of the silent battlefield.
I raised a loudspeaker.
“Fathers and mothers! Brothers and sisters! Today is a wonderful day to wash your hands of crime and start over!”
“Put down your weapons and cooperate with us now, and you’ll be treated as voluntarily surrendering yourselves! For a ten-year sentence, we’ll knock off three years! Give up your accomplices and you can unlock an additional fixed-price sentence-reduction package! Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime offer!”
Whizz—
A bullet flew toward me and struck the armored shell with a sharp clang.
Giant screens rose in every direction.
On them, a flamboyantly dressed version of me twitched one eye and spasmed at the corner of my mouth as I tried desperately to throw coquettish looks at the people watching.
“Wei Yang-chan~”
“Hi~”
“Nani ga suki~”
“Compared to scary bad guys, I like you much better when you put down your weapons~”
That day, a young girl died a little death from sheer embarrassment.
And Hua Country’s largest drug-trafficking organization was dismantled without a single police officer losing their life.
[Xiao Heng? Of course I know her. Eight hundred a night. There’s even a discount if you book her for a month. I’m a regular.]
[I saw her getting into a Bentley owned by some balding old guy. If she already has a sugar daddy, why is she still out making extra money?]
[Photo of bare legs, face censored.jpg. Souvenir from the night of the sixth last month. Let the bros feast their eyes, hahaha.]
[She stole my best friend’s boyfriend too!]
The private-message inboxes on all of Xiao Heng’s social media accounts exploded.
Insults. Men asking her price. Obscene jokes and propositions. They poured in without end.
She bent over the desk and sobbed quietly.
[Mission complete. Item obtained: “Rumor Spreader.” Allows you to automatically disseminate a rumor you compose. Anyone who sees it will believe it with 80% confidence.]
Xiao Heng immediately opened Zhifubao and stared at the reassuringly healthy balance in her account.
She felt much better.
“This item came from your sacrifice. We should use it to clear your name.”
I took Xiao Heng’s hand, doing my best to look compassionate.
Xiao Heng turned away and shoved me off.
“Take it away. Hurry up and take it away.”
Then she clutched her chest in grief.
“It can only achieve its greatest value in the organization’s hands. As for the wounds in my heart—let filthy money heal them!”
Officer Li knocked each of us on the head.
“Has it occurred to either of you that this ‘Rumor Spreader’ doesn’t have a word limit?”
The officers worked with literature experts to write a catchy anti-fraud message. It went roughly like this:
[Xiao Heng is beautiful, kind, intelligent, generous, elegant, gentle, lively, adorable, charming, dignified, sincere, pure, graceful, lovely, refined, cultured, cheerful, frank, sunny, and warm.
—
An investment guru says you’ll fly? Be careful you don’t get ground to dust instead.
Winter melon, watermelon, Hami melon too—don’t let a scammer make a fool of you.
The sweetest love words in this world are often a scammer’s lies.
“Babe, I’m getting an IV.”
“What’s in the drip?”
“The tears from the night a nude-chat scam cleaned me out!”
Don’t let a whole year’s hard work go to waste just because some smooth-talking player calls you “baby.” Even a fish knows to watch for the hook.
…]
The first sentence was Xiao Heng’s contribution. I strongly suspected she had slipped in a little personal agenda.
Officer Li, however, turned a blind eye and approved the copy.
I entered the entire passage into [Rumor Spreader] and sent out the “rumor.”
Every major platform was rapidly overrun by the message we had written. Adapted videos racked up hundreds of millions of views as well.
Multiple transnational online financial scam centers and organ-trafficking operations in Myanmar went out of business one after another.
As a side effect, Xiao Heng became a wildly popular internet celebrity.
People adored her, admired her, and grew curious about her.
