The Villainess and I, her Zombie Chapter 346

Zombie's consciousness was drifting in the void, his body was too exhausted for him to wake up but at the same time, his mind was already well rested - creating the odd situation.

Well... this certainly is awkward...

Zombie thought to himself and his own voice resounded through the ocean of endless darkness.

What the...?!

Even though he didn't really forget about the sealed overseer living inside of his body, suddenly hearing Patience's voice coming from behind him instead of, well, inside of him, was a really shocking experience that forced the gasp out of him.

The boy turned around and there she was, the bright orb floating freely in the darkness.

The first thing that popped to Zombie's mind at that sight was...

...screen saver...

The orb of light trembled with anger and scoffed back at the boy, demonstrating that she could in fact still read his mind if she wanted.

Khahaha! As if! You look like an orb, go bounce in the corner - if there is a corner somewhere in this weird place... umm... Huh?!

Zombie laughed and tried to wave his hand before he realized, that he had no hands in his current form.

Just as Patience in front of him, he was now just a flaring orb too!

The two of them only differed in color - Patience was a radiant white just as how she was in her original form while Zombie was vibrantly violet.

Huh... odd... I kind of expected to be blue in my own subconscious...

Zombie frowned or tried to frown but the only difference was noticeable in the tone of his voice as there was no visible change to his sphere-like appearance.

Patience denied and darted from one side to the other giving the best visual cue she could for shaking her head.

Excuse me...? Then where are we and why? And if this isn't in my head then how come you are here? This doesn't make any sense, unless... Oh, for the love of...! Don't tell me I'm actually dead and without you pulling the strings from behind, the system didn't stop my soul from leaving and I'm about to reincarnate?!

Zombie gasped, floating back from terrible suspicion.

Patience denied in a calm voice, offhandedly letting him know that she knew exactly where and why they currently are.

...

The boy went silent and even though there was no change in his appearance of the vibrant violet orb, it was rather clear that he was rolling his eyes.

Instead of explaining it, as she would normally do, Patience encouraged her host and danced around, enjoying the freedom of movement in her orb form.

...?

Zombie raised his brow – or at least tried, and looked around once more.

He didn't saw them immediately, but there were there all along...

...few lights in the distance, surrounded by darkness just like the two of them...

...different lights, looking like the lonely stars.

There was one red one, two green ones, two light-blue ones, one blue, one orange, one yellow, and one other violet just like Zombie.

Patience asked sounding as if she was smiling.

All of those share their colors with sins...

Zombie sounded as if he furrowed his brows, deep in thoughts.

...and their number... this can't be a coincidence either, is it now... In that case, are those the representation of the avatars of sins and their official heirs registered in the system...?

He asked, turning back to the expectant Patience.

Patience twirled and bounced around as if it was some sort of a quiz show and she was the overexcited host, and instantly asked another question.

She generously threw in a hint, though it really wasn't telling the boy anything.

Patience sounded as if she furrowed her brows in realization and sighed.

Did something like that happened? I only vaguely remember using some new skill to decimate that repugnant thing that had the guts to remind me of what that other repugnant filth has done to me...

Zombie asked and scoffed – if he was in his physical body, he would have massaged his legs, specifically the tendons area, while saying that line.

Patience sounded as if she shrugged her shoulders and explained.

In the end, she gave up on asking questions and surrendered to her role of a tutorial.

...separate plane you say... so, not within the system...?

Zombie asked in surprise.

Patience answered him flawlessly.

No, no way. How can they be more powerful? My Cranberry and I killed three avatars – four if you count Wrath, but that was because you interfered so...

Zombie bounced from side to side and pointed out.

...oh...

After getting something like that revealed to him, Zombie was a bit overwhelmed, to say the least.

HUH?! Hold on, what?!

Zombie gasped in disbelief while Patience continued.

The white orb danced around overjoyed, before stopping in place, suddenly sounding dispirited.

Wait... we shouldn't be here? And didn't I gained this skill and become an heir way too soon? What if the system will count it as cheating and will send Eternal right away before we get rid of his Invictus title?!

Zombie twisted and turned around as if looking for an exit from the endless void.

Patience asked the panicked boy.

...it's...

Zombie sounded as if he closed his eyes, focusing on the intercepted memories...

Ah! Yes, I was!

The boy gasped with relief.

Patience laughed happily and bounced around Zombie.

She declared, sounding as if a big bright smile bloomed on her face.
