“Drip, drop...” It was either the sound of bathwater or blood dripping onto the ground, exceptionally clear.

The stairwell was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Suteir's front door also had a large hole blown through it.

Zhong Yi nervously pressed his eye to the peephole.

He saw the girl's cheerful footsteps, which froze the moment she stepped onto the fourth floor.

Only for a moment, Suteir resumed her pace, like a startled kitten, lowering her head and hurrying forward.

Her footsteps were no longer cheerful.

Zhong Yi clearly saw Suteir constantly glancing at her own home from the corner of her eye.

In the corridor, bodies were clearly visible, one after another.

Zhong Yi's heart was pounding.

If Suteir showed even the slightest sign of abnormality, she would be brutally murdered by those madmen from the Demon Suppression Division, just like her father and brother!

After all... the other party was a group of utter lunatics who came to wipe out an entire family!

What surprised Zhong Yi was that Suteir's will and mind were completely inconsistent with her age.

Even though her family's blood flowed to her doorstep;

Even though she had already seen her young brother turned into a corpse lying in front of the door... she still didn't look back, passing her home as if it had nothing to do with her, walking straight towards Li Ang's room.

It wasn't until she walked in front of the minor guard left at the door that Suteir finally couldn't help but redden her eyes.

Zhong Yi immediately realized that Suteir was pretending that she was not Ma Wei's family, but his own family!

Suteir trembled as she approached the door.

Only a door separated Zhong Yi and her.

Suteir raised her hand and knocked on the door, her beautiful big eyes already filled with tears.

Zhong Yi wished he could just open the door and shield Suteir behind him.

But as soon as he placed his palm on the doorknob, the Behavior Points in the upper right corner suddenly changed.

“Behavior Points -10 (This is a life-and-death gamble; Li Ang is unwilling to get involved in other people's Karma)”

“Behavior Points -5 (Opening the door the moment it's knocked reveals the fact that one is observing the outside, which does not align with the qualities of a professional killer)”

...Through the peephole, Zhong Yi saw Suteir's delicate face filled with despair, and her soft plea with a choked voice.

“Please, please...”

“Open... the door for me...”

How could Zhong Yi stand such provocation?

His veins immediately bulged, and the ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ palm on the doorknob pressed harder again.

“What the hell is Karma... Open it!! Open it!!!”

Zhong Yi steeled himself and tried to turn the doorknob again.

The Behavior Points notification came again.

“Behavior Points -8 (This is a life-and-death gamble; Li Ang is unwilling to get involved in other people's Karma)”

...“Damn it!!!”

Zhong Yi cursed angrily and tried again.

“Behavior Points -5 (This is a life-and-death gamble; Li Ang is unwilling to get involved in other people's Karma)”

He failed to open the door again, but he also keenly noticed that the deduction of Behavior Points was decreasing.

Could it be that Li Ang's main body was also conflicted?

He looked outside again.

Suteir was crying profusely.

At her doorstep, the Demon Suppression Division member on lookout had already noticed something amiss, pulled out a gleaming dagger from behind him, and was slowly walking towards them... Zhong Yi's breathing instantly stopped.

As cultivators, one could naturally determine if someone was inside by their breathing.

Suteir knocked, but he didn't respond. What did that mean?

It meant Suteir was not his family!

In that case, Suteir would be exposed!

Only death awaited Suteir!

“Open, open! Open it for me!!”

Zhong Yi frantically rattled the doorknob like a madman.

The man with the dagger was getting closer and closer;

Suteir's brows furrowed, and her shoulders trembled slightly as she cried... Behavior Points -3... Behavior Points -1... “Click.”

A light shone on Suteir's cheek.

Light suddenly appeared in the girl's hazy eyes.

Li Ang's deep voice sounded: “Come in.”

...Li Ang's room was unbelievably simple.

Next to the old wooden table, Zhong Yi and the dazed Suteir sat there silently.

The people from the Demon Suppression Division had already left.

The yamen's constables arrived, asked some questions, and after learning that it was the Demon Suppression Division at work, they left in a hurry.

Zhong Yi had just finished listening to Suteir's long, tearful complaint.

For example, the woman and the eldest sister in the house were her stepmother and half-sister.

She also didn't like her father, who was like a fat pig, who stood by and watched her mother die, favored her stepmother and sister, and only beat and cursed her daily.

Suteir was not sad about their deaths.

She even felt that even if the Demon Suppression Division hadn't acted, she would have killed them herself one day.

The only one who made her sad was her four-year-old brother... “What's your name?”

After calming down a bit, Suteir looked at Zhong Yi.

“Li Ang.”

Zhong Yi said, picking up the poured goat's milk.

“Very cute, I like it.”

The girl wiped away her tears and said without any pretense.

“Pfft...”

Under the System's miraculous power, Zhong Yi choked on the goat's milk.

While he turned to grab a handkerchief to wipe his clothes, Suteir's gaze was suddenly drawn to a black package on the cabinet.

When Zhong Yi returned, he saw Suteir looking at him with a face full of shock at the various items in his assassination tool bag.

“Li Ang... who are you?”

The girl blinked, without the slightest fear.

“Like those people... someone who kills.”

Zhong Yi thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

“But, you won't kill me, right?”

Suteir smiled.

Zhong Yi wanted to say something, but under the Behavior System's restraint, he couldn't say anything.

“Can you help me kill a few people?”

“The... six outside?”

“Mm. How much do you charge to kill people?”

“Five thousand... per head.”

“That's too expensive...”

The girl pouted, showing a childlike expression.

“Li Ang...”

“How about you teach me how to kill and be my Master?”
