Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 261

Chapter 261: Devotion to the Saint

“Kisaragi Mika, long time no see.”

The familiar, fluent Japanese made Kisaragi Mika freeze.

Not just because it was her native language, but also because the calm tone of voice sounded so familiar…

She looked up towards the source of the sound, her eyes meeting those of a black-haired girl sitting in a strange chair.

In that instant, Kisaragi Mika felt certain.

The one sitting there was definitely the Saint…

And the Ino God’s daughter was also behind her, further confirming Kisaragi Mika’s guess.

Kisaragi Mika, who had just stood up, knelt devoutly before the girl in the flesh-and-blood wheelchair.

“Saintess,” Kisaragi Mika greeted respectfully, her head bowed.

“Huh?” Lin Xiwan, witnessing this, was a little surprised.

She looked at Lin Jiayao, then at Kisaragi Mika kneeling on the ground, confused about their relationship.

Lin Jiayao, sitting in the flesh-and-blood wheelchair, saw her sister’s confusion and explained, “I saved her once, she’s expressing her gratitude.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiwan quickly said, “Oh, oh… then you should have her get up.”

“Get up,” Lin Jiayao said, looking at Kisaragi Mika.

“Yes, Saintess.” Kisaragi Mika quickly stood, but kept her head bowed, not daring to look directly at the seemingly frail girl before her, who appeared to be around her own age.

“Look at me, Kisaragi Mika,” Lin Jiayao commanded.

“Okay.”

Kisaragi Mika slowly raised her head and looked at Lin Jiayao.

Lin Jiayao gazed at the girl before her.

She hadn’t figured out how to explain everything to Kisaragi Mika, but just as Kisaragi Mika stood before her, the answer came to her.

“Come with me.” Lin Jiayao beckoned to Kisaragi Mika, then turned to Huayibai and whispered, “Push me to your room.”

“Okay, Mommy~” Huayibai replied softly.

But even whispered, Huayibai’s words were caught by Kisaragi Mika.

Although she didn’t understand other Chinese words, she understood “Mommy.”

What was going on? Wasn’t that white-haired little girl the Ino God’s daughter? Why was she calling this girl Mommy?

Could it be…

Kisaragi Mika’s pupils trembled slightly, a shocking realization dawning on her.

Seeing the figure in the flesh-and-blood wheelchair being pushed towards the villa, Kisaragi Mika snapped out of her daze and quickly followed.

Her heart was filled with excitement and confusion, but mostly bewilderment.

She didn’t know why she had been called into the house, but because the other party was the “Saint,” Kisaragi Mika obediently followed.

Soon, the Saint, the Ino God’s daughter, and the tall woman whose identity she didn’t know, stood before an open door.

Kisaragi Mika quickly caught up, standing behind them, unsure what they were going to do.

“Go in,” the beautiful girl in the wheelchair pointed to the large bed in the dimly lit room, “and stand by the bed.”

“Oh…” Kisaragi Mika nodded, walked past them, and entered the dark room.

Inside, Kisaragi Mika fumbled her way to the bed and turned to look at the doorway.

The girl in the flesh-and-blood wheelchair seemed to be whispering something to the person beside her. Soon, only the black-haired girl remained at the doorway.

Just as Kisaragi Mika was about to ask what she should do, the girl spoke.

“Take off your clothes.” The girl’s voice was calm, as if her request was perfectly normal.

“T-take them off?” Kisaragi Mika was taken aback, frozen in place.

To undress or not to undress…

“Saint… Saintess, are you…” Kisaragi Mika tentatively tried to understand the other party’s intentions, but was interrupted by the girl’s cold voice.

“Take them off.” Lin Jiayao didn’t want to waste time and urged her again in Japanese.

“I… I… O-okay…” Kisaragi Mika’s voice trembled. Facing the doorway, she bit her lip. “If it’s what the Saintess wishes…”

In the darkness, Kisaragi Mika’s cheeks flushed crimson. Her trembling hands reached for the sash of her hakama, untying the knot.

As she removed each garment, she vaguely guessed what was about to happen.

Perhaps, the Saintess wanted her to… offer herself.

If anyone else had made such a request, Kisaragi Mika would have run away.

But the one asking her to undress was the Saintess, who shared so many similarities with the Ino God…

And the Saintess was also very beautiful. Looking at the Saintess’s face, Kisaragi Mika didn’t feel much resistance.

On the contrary, she felt a certain anticipation.

After removing all her clothes, Kisaragi Mika covered herself with her arms, slightly lowering her head, her mind in a daze, her heart pounding in her chest.

Kisaragi Mika’s ponytail had also come undone, her long, black hair almost reaching her knees, making her skin appear even paler.

“Lie down and cover yourself with the quilt.” Lin Jiayao, at the doorway, looked at the blushing Kisaragi Mika and calmly continued her instructions.

Kisaragi Mika obediently moved onto the bed and slipped under the covers. After a while, seemingly having made up her mind, she poked her head out and looked towards the doorway.

“Saint… Saintess, allow me to serve—”

Before Kisaragi Mika could finish, a giant black eyeball, its vertical pupil filled with writhing worms, appeared before her.

Worm’s Eye.

Instantly, before she could even scream, Kisaragi Mika’s consciousness plunged into darkness.

Lin Jiayao, at the doorway, looked at Kisaragi Mika lying on the bed, covered by the quilt, her eyes closed, and nodded slightly.

To correct Kisaragi Mika’s deeply ingrained, cult-influenced thinking, she had to use nine years of compulsory education in the dream world.

If nine years weren’t enough, then twelve. She believed that inside, Kisaragi Mika would not only learn Chinese, but also completely abandon her previous feudal cult ideology, becoming a better tool… a better partner.

Lin Jiayao reached out, and her mycelium picked up Kisaragi Mika’s miko outfit, folded and placed by the bed, now so dirty its original color was unrecognizable. She put it into the warehouse, intending to have the vines in the outside puddle wash it.

Later, she would give Kisaragi Mika a choice between a normal outfit and the cleaned miko outfit.

If Kisaragi Mika chose the normal outfit, it would mean the transformation was successful.

If she still chose the miko outfit, then Lin Jiayao might have to reconsider her educational approach.

The flesh-and-blood wheelchair wriggled across the room and towards the living room, where Huayibai and her sister were waiting.

And the small Black Stem, which had awakened at some point, was squatting in a corner, secretly watching her.

No wonder Lin Jiayao suddenly felt her mental power significantly recover.

Although the small Black Stem was still afraid of Huayibai, at least it wouldn’t “crash” just from Huayibai saying something.

After the Black Stem Fungus’s mental power grew a little more, she would also throw it into the spiritual space created by Worm’s Eye for some learning.

Although she didn’t expect the little Black Stem to learn much, at least it should learn some basic knowledge, understand human language, and be able to respond.

The uses of Worm’s Eye were far more numerous than Lin Jiayao had initially imagined.

Besides precise, point-to-point control, its greatest feature was creating a “dream world” driven by mental power.

And the effect of this “dream world” was actually similar to her system’s training ground, just that her processing power wasn’t as strong as the system’s.

Even so, Lin Jiayao could basically guarantee that as long as the other party didn’t try to simulate A-rank evolution inside, the illusion created by Worm’s Eye wouldn’t collapse.

Now Lin Jiayao could also observe the situation within the dream world through Worm’s Eye. In that short time just now, Kisaragi Mika had already been sent to an orphanage.

The development was going smoothly, and Kisaragi Mika should be starting kindergarten soon.

Lin Jiayao had Huayibai push her to the door, casually threw Kisaragi Mika’s clothes into a nearby puddle, and let the vines wash them.

Then, Lin Jiayao separated another portion of mycelium as a clone and sent it to Yangzhou City.

The previous mycelium clone had been destroyed by the aftershocks of Huayibai’s evolution, so Lin Jiayao had to send a new one to the seaside to maintain contact with the Blue Serpent.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Lin Jiayao remembered something else and had Huayibai push her back to her room.

Entering the room, Lin Jiayao picked up the uniquely shaped white umbrella by the bed and handed it to Huayibai.

“This is for you… I don’t know if you can use it now.” Lin Jiayao handed the umbrella to Huayibai.

This umbrella was originally made for Huayibai’s self-defense when she was at B-rank.

But Huayibai’s evolution speed far exceeded Lin Jiayao’s expectations, and the self-defense umbrella now seemed somewhat redundant.

But Lin Jiayao was thinking more about practicality. Huayibai wouldn’t think that way.

Huayibai’s eyes widened slightly when she saw the umbrella Lin Jiayao handed her, and she reached out and took it.

She lifted the umbrella, which was almost as tall as herself, touched the canopy, and then directly pressed the button on the handle, and the umbrella opened.

At the same time, several mycelium threads wrapped around Huayibai’s right hand holding the umbrella handle and drilled into the back of her hand.

“Click—”
“Poof—”
“Click—”
“Poof—”

Just like this, she played with the large umbrella in her hand, opening and closing it, for a while, and then Huayibai closed the umbrella and hugged it in her arms.

“Thank you, Mommy~” Huayibai squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Jiayao with a silly smile, “Huayibai likes it very much~”

“It’s good that you like it.” Lin Jiayao reached out and touched Huayibai’s head, instructing, “If there’s anything you’re not used to, remember to tell me, and I can modify it at any time.”

“Okay~ Thank you, Mommy~” Huayibai put the white umbrella behind her, and the mycelium spreading from her body tied the umbrella and hung it behind her like a strap.

Seeing that Huayibai liked it, Lin Jiayao also nodded with relief. Then, as if she had remembered something, she turned to look at her sister.

“Sister, are you still planning to train today?” Lin Jiayao asked.

“Yes, I was planning to go train later if there’s nothing else… What’s wrong? Is there something?” Lin Xiwan thought her sister was going to give her some mission, so she asked.

“Do you want to try a new training method?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister’s eyes.

“New… training method?” Lin Xiwan blinked, obviously not quite understanding what it was.

Then, Lin Jiayao told her sister everything about Worm’s Eye, including its abilities and characteristics.

After listening, her sister was greatly shocked – there was such a thing?

Using evolutionary abilities to train others? Unheard of.

If someone else told Lin Xiwan this, Lin Xiwan would definitely think the other party was a liar and punch them.

But it was her sister who said this, so Lin Xiwan naturally considered it seriously, without doubting its authenticity.

“I can try, let’s see the effect.” Lin Xiwan nodded, expressing her willingness to try.

“Okay, you have to remember, you can simulate many zombies inside, but you can’t simulate me, you can’t simulate Huayibai, and you can’t simulate the zombie that came to deliver the eyeballs before…”

Lin Jiayao slowly told her sister all the precautions of the “Worm Training Ground”. It was said to be precautions, but these were basically the weaknesses of Worm’s Eye.

It just so happened that Lin Jiayao, who had nothing to do now, could also conduct an experiment, to test how much mental power she would consume if her sister used her abilities in her Worm’s Eye.

Of course, if the consumption was too high, Lin Jiayao would directly stop the Worm’s Eye ability and drag her sister out of the dream world.

After letting her sister lie down on the bed, Lin Jiayao directly used Worm’s Eye on her sister.
