Killing Angel
Simply put, this is a story of the heroine and the male protagonist escaping from the Building of Death.
On each floor of this underground building there are perverted murderers who kill in different ways.
The first layer is Zak, the male protagonist wielding the death scythe, who is simply killing. The second layer is Danny, a doctor who loves to collect other people's eyeballs, and is deeply in love with the heroine's quiet, dead eyes. The third floor is Eddie, who builds a grave for the dead, a teenager of similar age to the heroine, whose love is to kill the heroine himself and bury her in a beautiful tombstone full of flowers. On the fourth floor is Catherine, a plump prison guard with a leather whip and a tendency to shake, and she interrogates and kills more people, including electric chairs, poison gas, and strafing guns. On the fifth floor is the ruler of the whole building, the priest, who stands on the position of the judge, who considers himself a god to observe and punish all sinful people. On the last floor, the well-behaved Lolita heroine Rigel, after seeing the mother who was killed by her abusive father, shot and killed her father, who also wanted to kill her, and then sewed her parents' bodies together with needles and threads, and like the puppy toys she sewed, she also became her own "thing", and was later taken to the mansion by doctor Danny and became the owner of the last floor.
The story begins with the amnesiac heroine escaping Zach's pursuit on the first floor, but immediately loses the will to resist after being mentioned by the doctor Danny to her parents on the second floor, but is saved by Zach. In order to get Rigel to take him out, Zach swore to the gods that he would kill her when he got out. This oath became their belief in escaping from the mansion alive, and also brought them mutual trust and dependence, and even disregarded their own life and death for each other. Here, Zach's life is also slowly revealed, the man who was brought home by his mother when he was a child poured gasoline, he held the man dead and burned in the fire, so he was burned and covered with bandages, and then buried the dead child for the director in the orphanage, and learned to kill people in the TV series, infected with the addiction of killing. After breaking through the barrier layer by layer, the two people finally reached the exit. Suddenly, Doctor Danny appears and activates Destruction Mode, the building begins to collapse, and Rigel is shot several times. At the last moment, the priest stops Danny, who originally thought that Zach was an angel, a pure person who could only kill, but under the influence of Rigel, he became a person who could wield a knife for others, and he was no longer a god, so he decided to let Zach and Rigel go.
After going out, Zach was taken to prison, while Rigel was healed and imprisoned in a mental hospital. Every day after that, Rigel waited for Zach, until the night she heard that Zach had been sentenced to death, Zach came like the god of death with a scythe and broke the window to fulfill their original agreement.
The ending is open-ended, and of course I agree with another interpretation: zach who finally appears is a fantasy of Rigel, because the scythe in Zach's hand has broken in the exit, and this ending looks much better.
Both the male and female protagonists are morbid murderers, and the author glorifies the scenes of the killings into romantic love journeys.
