The Awakened Blood of the Seven Nights

The Tohno family, entrance hall.

When Fang Li and Tohno Shiki returned, soaked to the bone, Kohaku and Hisui were already waiting for them in the lobby.

"Young Master Zhigui..."

Looking at Tono Tohno Shiki, who was following behind Fang Li with a somewhat complicated expression but was unharmed, Hisui's expressionless face involuntarily relaxed. It seemed that she had been worried about Tohno Shiki all along, and only now could she finally feel at ease.

"Well?"

Kohaku noticed the girl in Fang Li's arms immediately and exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing the distinct personalities of the twin sisters, Fang Li didn't explain anything, but simply addressed them.

"I'll take her to my room first, and we'll talk about the details later. In the meantime, please prepare some clean clothes for us."

His tone carried a hint of unquestionable authority.

However, both Kohaku and Hisui nodded, indicating that they understood.

After all, Fang Li's current identity is the butler of the Tohno family, and all the servants in the Tohno family are under his management.

In the absence of the head of the household, the person with the authority to make decisions is Fang Li.

On the contrary, Tohno Shiki, although he was the eldest son of the Tohno family, was in a position of being taken care of. In addition, he had no experience or ability to order servants around, so he could only stand aside and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

And so, Fang Li carried the White Princess towards his room.

Seeing this, Tohno Shiki's expression showed a hint of struggle, but he ultimately followed.

"Ha ha..."

In Fang Li's room, on the soft bed, White Princess clothes had been changed, lay there, covered with a quilt, but her breathing was still full of bitterness, and she seemed to be in great pain.

After Kohaku and Hisui left, only Fang Li and Tohno Shiki remained in the room.

"Alright."

Fang Li turned around, looked at Tohno Shiki, and said this directly.

"Shouldn't you explain this situation a bit soon?"

That's what they say, but Fang Li actually already knew the reason behind it all.

Therefore, Fang Li asked the question in this way.

"Is she the one you killed before?"

One sentence made Tohno Shiki's expression stiffen somewhat.

However, this is an indelible fact.

"It's no use hiding it." Fang Li said, "When we were in the park, I could smell the blood on you. Coupled with your abnormal behavior at that time, I can be sure that you had already killed someone back then."

This is why Tohno Shiki, after taking leave due to anemia, didn't go straight home but instead slumped in the park.

In response, Tohno Shiki desperately said, "I... I don't know what happened. I was planning to come straight back, but after I saw this person on the way, my head suddenly went haywire. Not only was my whole body burning up, but I also couldn't control my body at all, so..."

"So, driven by some inexplicable impulse, you secretly followed them, waited until they were alone, and then suddenly attacked and killed them." Fang Li picked up where Tohno Shiki off, staring into his eyes, and said, "With those Magic Eye that can see 'death,' right?"

Tohno Shiki lowered his head and fell silent, his face ashen.

Clearly, Fang Li was not only right, but his statement was also irrefutable.

Because Tohno Shiki also greatly shocked by his sudden action.

Tohno Shiki was unaware of this.

The reason he suddenly felt this urge to kill stemmed from the bloodline of the Seven Nights Clan within him.

The Seven Nights Clan, one of the Four Great Demon-Exterminating Families, has always been a clan of Assassin with superpowers and superb killing skills.

One manifestation of this so-called superpower is that the bloodline of the Seven Nights Clan contains an urge to exorcise demons and eliminate non-humans.

This urge to exorcise demons grants exorcists with the blood of the Seven Nights the ability to sense demons and enforce exorcism orders, while also significantly enhancing their physical abilities.

Tohno Shiki encountered a non-human on his way home, which awakened the Seven Nights Blood within him and triggered his exorcism impulse, causing him to uncontrollably carry out the exorcism mission.

Yes.

The pure white princess lying on the bed, breathing heavily with some distress, was not human.

So, on his way home Tohno Shiki encountered this non-human being. The urge to exorcise demons completely took over his consciousness, causing him to secretly follow behind the other party. With the awakening of his Seven Nights instincts, his physical abilities were greatly enhanced, and his Seven Nights Assassination Technique skills also unconsciously awakened, allowing him to ambush this non-human being.

Moreover, it was while using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that he managed to cut his opponent into seventeen pieces.

By the time Tohno Shiki's impulse to exorcise the demon began to subside, all that remained before his eyes was a ground covered in blood and chunks of flesh.

This almost caused Tohno Shiki, who had never killed anyone and had lived as a normal person all these years, to break down on the spot. He fled the scene of the murder as if he were running away, and eventually, in a daze, he ended up in the park.

When Fang Li found Tohno Shiki, the reason why this descendant of the Seven Nights Clan suddenly attacked Fang Li was probably because his exorcism impulse had not completely subsided, coupled with his mental confusion. When he sensed someone approaching, he subconsciously launched an attack.

Otherwise, with Tohno Shiki's current abilities, without the physical enhancement brought about by the exorcism impulse, even if he instinctively used Nanaya's Assassination Arts, he would not pose the slightest threat to Fang Li.

This is the cause and process of the whole incident.

"As expected, having those eyes means he's destined to never live an ordinary life. Even if he's harmless most of the time, once his bloodline and abilities are awakened, even I can't ignore the threat this guy poses."

After all, even though it's weaker Fang Li, the threat of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is not diminished at all.

Fang Li knows this better than anyone else.

Just how unfair is this to the eyes?

Although it has the weakness of being useless if it misses, it becomes a fatal problem once it hits.

Fang Li himself has already used those eyes to win countless times against stronger opponents, Tohno Shiki naturally has the same advantage.

So even if this guy is usually harmless, you can't ignore him.

Otherwise, if they become enemies, the outcome will be dire.

"However, what I admire even more is this girl."

Fang Li turned his gaze to the girl lying on the bed, panting with a pained expression, and spoke in a low voice.

"He was dismembered by a Esper with the Mystic Eyes of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, yet he was able to revive and even chase after us."

"Truly worthy of being the princess of the True Ancestor."
