Hikaru glanced at Laylah, and felt that she was starting to change. She had begun to be similar to him, as she was able to kill people without guilt.
"Ah..." Laylah suddenly tilted her head and said: "While I was leading the zombies towards the survivors, I met someone."
At this point, she looked at him and smiled mysteriously: "Maybe you'll be interested in that person."
"Hm?" Hikaru frowned and said, "Tadashi or Delmor?"
Laylah shook her head and said: "No."
At this moment, he felt a little strange: "Is it Ryrlia?"
"No it isn't. Hmm, you're thinking of her, right?" Laylah pouted, while sulking.
"I don't have time to joke with you."
"Alright! You are indeed very impatient." Laylah sighed and said: "The person I met was a young man. Even though I didn't know who he was, when I saw him, I suddenly felt like killing him."
"Hm? Is that what your intuition told you?"
"That's right." Laylah nodded: "My senses are definitely not wrong. It's just... I felt a bit strange. This was the first time I was meeting him, but I wanted to kill him."
"Hikaru... you probably know who he is, right?"
Laylah glanced at Hikaru, her eyes filled with interest, like a curious cat looking at a mysterious box.
Hikaru didn't pay attention to Laylah's eyes, he immediately asked: "Can you describe that person a bit?"
"Of course. I happened to see him standing on a high tree branch, looking towards the area where people were camping."
"He is about 180 cm tall, his body is quite perfect, of course not as perfect as your body." Laylah smiled teasingly.
"Hm... I have a feeling he's very strong. As soon as I saw him, it seemed like he also sensed my presence."
"Right then, my intuition screamed that I needed to kill that person."
"But... hm... he saw me dragging an army of zombies but he wasn't scared at all. On the contrary, he looked at me, smiled and said.
Hikaru frowned: "What did he say?"
"Black Queen, we will meet again later."
"Black Queen? Was he talking to you?
Laylah shrugged: "At that time it was just me and him. So do you think he was talking to the zombies behind my back?"
"Did you see any other features?"
Laylah shook her head: "He was wearing a hooded jacket, he was also wearing a mask, I couldn't see his face clearly. But based on his voice and hair, I think that he's around 25 years old."
"What color is his hair?"
"Black."
Hikaru has now found a person who matches Laylah's description. However, he had never met that person before but his intuition was telling him that that person was Rayze.
That's right, only Rayze could know what the future will be like, and what kind of person Laylah will become. That's why he called her 'Black Queen'.
'It seems... The most dangerous factor is probably Rayze. Laylah isn't as worrying as before, maybe I should pay more attention to Rayze.'
"Oy!" Suddenly, Laylah spoke up, interrupting Hikaru's thoughts: "Do you know who he is?"
Hikaru heard that and glanced at Laylah, many thoughts immediately appearing in his mind.
Finally, he frowned, his face serious as if they were facing a very serious problem.
"Next time, when you meet that person, you should not act carelessly, understand?"
"Heh?! You know who he is, right?"
Hikaru nodded: "Of course I know. He is just like you, however, he is much more powerful than you. In the future, he will be your most formidable enemy."
Hikaru felt strange hearing that, but then he shook his head. Anyway, that had nothing to do with him.
"Don't worry, he won't survive today either. Even if he is alive, he will not cause us any harm."
At this moment, Hikaru seemed to hear something and immediately disappeared in front of Laylah.
Laylah opened her mouth, she didn't think that when Hikaru noticed danger, the first thing he would do was run away.
He didn't even care if she should run or not, or inform her that danger was approaching.
Laylah shook her head, then immediately left this place.
1 minute later, a terrifying explosion rang out, the whole mountain exploded like a volcanic eruption. Huge rocks weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms flew high and then fell to the ground.
The ground shook violently like an earthquake, cracks appeared everywhere and spread around like a spider's web.
In the distance, Rayze stood on a building, and looked towards the mountain.
He dressed exactly as Laylah described, at this time, he took off his mask, revealing his true face.
"It seems... things have deviated from the trajectory in my previous life."
"That's okay, anyway, if Laylah gets that stone, it's a matter of sooner or later."
"Even if she became the Black Queen right now, she still wouldn't be able to defeat me."
"Laylah, Delmor and Tadashi all changed their fates. And it seems... they are all related to one person, Hikaru."
"Hahahaha... how interesting." Rayze smiled and muttered, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, the eyes of a predator.
"Hikaru, in your previous life you seemed to be just a pawn on this chessboard, but in this life, it seems you have become a chess player."
"I hope you make things more interesting before I return to my throne."
...
At the abandoned mansion where Delmor is staying. The number of survivors in this place had reached 40. Because there were so many people, most of them had to set up tents in the garden to stay.
However, the lucky thing is that Akiko and Delmor have collected quite a lot of food, enough for everyone in this place to use for 7 days.
At this moment, Delmor was sitting with Rina and Akiko in a room. Although it was only around 3 pm, the sky was almost completely dark.
Therefore, a lot of candles were placed in the room to light it up.
Akiko held a piece of paper, looked at it and said: "The current amount of food is enough." However, the number of people in this villa has almost doubled, so we are lacking other supplies."
"Other supplies?" Delmor frowned and said, "You mean blankets and things like that, right?"
Akiko nodded: "That's right. The temperature is decreasing rapidly, currently, the temperature is probably only about 15 degrees Celsius. If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to face an ice age."
Delmor heard that and took a deep breath: "Is it that terrible?"
Akiko shook her head and said: "I'm not joking. Historically, there was a volcanic eruption where ash covered 15 countries for nearly 2 years."
"Even though it was summer, the temperature in those countries was only about 5 degrees Celsius. Now, what's covering us is more terrible than volcanic ash, so things will be much worse."
Delmor nodded and said: "Okay, I will..."
While he was speaking, he suddenly felt terribly dizzy.
"Delmor?" Akiko frowned, realizing something was wrong.
Rina also looked worriedly at Delmor at this time.
Delmor suddenly felt like he had just lost something extremely important. It was as if his soul had just escaped from his body.
Immediately afterwards, Delmor opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness.
