Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 80: Pearl’s Assassination

[You could see from your Hint Prompt talent that Pearl was using a spirit artifact. However, unlike the spirit artifact used by those gunmen, the pistol Pearl was using wasn’t manufactured by Logan.]

[’From what I know, the conflict between Logan and Pearl is mostly due to Pearl accidentally killing Logan’s son.’]

[’It was due to Pearl wanting to recruit Logan into the Spirit Avatar Master Association, yet she was refused by him, so she took drastic measures and kidnapped Logan’s son.’]

[’However, Pearl didn’t expect that one of her subordinates was controlled by a third-party Spirit Avatar Master and that Spirit Avatar Master took advantage of her using her Pearly Eyes of Equality on Logan’s son.’]

[’Since that controlled subordinate of hers had killed Logan’s son under the effects of her spirit avatar ability, Logan took it as Pearl killing his son.’]

[’After all, if not for Pearl using her equality ability on his son, his son wouldn’t have died since his son was also a Spirit Avatar Master.’]

[Obtaining that information without interrogating anyone was easy due to your Hint Prompt talent. Without it, you would have to recruit a train crewmate who specialized in information acquisition specifically.]

[Unlike the previous doomsday scenario, this current scenario heavily relied on acquiring information since each station was different. Knowing the specialties or forbidden rules of a specific station was highly required, or else a Train Conductor would die due to ignorance.]

[Because of that, Hint Prompt (Gold) was undoubtedly a simulation talent that had boosted rate due to it being relevant to this doomsday scenario.]

[While you knew about Pearl’s conflict with Logan, you weren’t interested in helping either side. Pearl might be a twisted and self-centered individual, but Logan wasn’t any better either.]

[Logan was connected to the underworld, and he made use of his Gun Arsenal spirit avatar to manufacture guns for the underground gangs and sold the surplus in the black market.]

[Although you didn’t know about Logan’s personality since the information about him that could be obtained from using Hint Prompt on Pearl was limited, you still weren’t interested in recruiting Logan as a train crew.]

[’Logan’s spirit avatar is only useful if I had planned to take the large faction or empire route. But since I had decided to take the elite crew route, it would be better if I could recruit a master dwarf race craftsman rather than him, who is only limited to guns.’]

[Thinking of this, you decided just to observe Pearl and Logan’s conflict from above.]

[As long as you could take the opportunity to steal a gold-grade spirit crystal from the Spirit Avatar Master Association’s treasury, you wouldn’t mind helping or sabotaging whoever could improve your chances of doing so.]

[Sending a message to Jade and Scarlet via the zenith chat group, you conveyed that intention to them, which Jade and Scarlet responded with a nod.]

[After Pearl massacred the gunmen, she scoffed, "A bunch of trash! All are equal under the truth."]

[Pearl naturally knew who the mastermind behind this was, but she was confident that no one could deal with her. Her spirit avatar could counter any spirit avatar master and any people with supernatural powers, so she wasn’t worried about being schemed against.]

[Holding the pistol, which she called as the "truth", Pearl surveyed her surroundings, seemingly waiting for Logan or anyone under him.]

[However, much to her disappointment, no one responded to back up the gunmen.]

[Assuming that Logan was likely just testing whether she was present in the Spirit Avatar Master Association or not, Pearl no longer minded and turned her back, about to return to the association building.]

[But as soon as she turned her back and let down her guard, a portal appeared a hundred meters behind her.]

[If not for your Hunter’s Instinct skill and Malice Perception skill, you wouldn’t have even noticed it since it was hidden in a secretive location.]

[Naturally, Pearl was unaware of it. The hostile spirit avatar master had specifically chosen a location that was a blind spot of her Pearly Eyes of Equality spirit avatar.]

[The muzzle of a sniper rifle peeked out of the portal. A silencer was attached to it, and you discovered it was a peak gold-grade spirit artifact. It was none other than Logan’s greatest creation. It was successfully created due to his obsession with wanting to kill Pearl.]

[As an Initial Gold rank Spirit Avatar Master, it was impossible for him to create a peak gold-rank spirit artifact. However, by restricting the scope of targets, that sniper rifle was created to kill only Pearl.]

[So, you weren’t worried. While it possessed Peak Gold rank attack power, it would only work against Pearl. When shot towards other people, it will be as weak as being hit by a cotton ball.]

[In just under a second, as soon as the sniper rifle’s muzzle poked out the portal, a bullet was soon fired, traversing the air and shooting towards Pearl!]

[However, just as it was about to hit Pearl, a barrier-like shield appeared around Pearl, blocking the sniper bullet momentarily.]

[The shockwave and sound of the sniper bullet colliding with the barrier naturally caused Pearl to turn around and take notice of it. However, her reaction was still a beat slower.]

[The barrier shattered into pieces, but due to Pearl’s movement and the bullet’s ricochet, it landed on her right shoulder instead of her head.]

["Fuc-" Before Pearl could curse and use her Spirit Avatar, her swearing was interrupted as an attack that came from the void suddenly landed on her neck!]

[A claw-like void slashed Pearl’s neck, ignoring distance and immediately severing her neck, decapitating her.]

[As her head flew into the air and blood spurted out from her headless neck, you immediately flew down rapidly from the tall building, heading towards her corpse!]

[In just a split second, you arrived and stored her corpse and whatever she dropped inside your system inventory.]

[Afterwards, you activated World Order, "Order! Only normal people can harm me!"]

["Order! Only I can enter the Spirit Avatar Master Association’s treasury!"]
