All I Know Is Killing

"Oh?"

Fang Li turned his gaze to Arcueid and asked with great interest.

Why do you think that?

After all, Fang Li has not shown any determination to fight vampires so far, unlike Arcueid, whose purpose is so obvious.

Therefore, generally speaking, no one would think that Fang Li should necessarily fight against the vampires who are running rampant in the shadows of this city.

If that's the case, what makes Arcueid so certain?

When faced with this question from Fang Li, Arcueid simply said this.

"Intuition," Arcueid said bluntly. "Although I haven't sensed any obsession or anything like that, haven't you never refused to take action? Like Nero? The Dead? And that 'Snake' guy, right?"

Indeed, although Fang Li did not show excessive persistence, he has never been stingy with his efforts.

When Nero attacked, Fang Li went to meet him without any instructions from anyone.

When Arcueid sought help, Fang Li accepted without any resistance.

This is enough to prove that Fang Li is not opposed to fighting vampires at all.

"Since you're neither an agent of the Holy Church nor Magus of the Mage's Association, you have no reason to go and fight vampires, right?"

Arcueid said this.

In fact, this statement is correct.

If Fang Li is an agent of the Holy Church, then it is only natural for Fang Li to fight against vampires, as that is the fundamental purpose of the Holy Church, whose main goal is to eradicate heresy.

If he were Magus from the Mage's Association, then Fang Li would also have ample reason to hunt down vampires, such as intending to use vampire corpses, blood, or internal organs for research. This is also the fundamental purpose of the Mage's Association, whose main objective is to study magic.

Fang Li is neither the former nor the latter, yet he does not resist the fight against vampires, so he must have his own purpose.

Like Arcueid, it was for a very private purpose.

Therefore, Arcueid sensed this almost instinctively.

They realized that Fang Li had a reason to fight vampires.

Although Arcueid didn't know the reason.

"Think about it carefully, you're clearly neither an agent nor Magus, so why do you possess that extraordinary combat power?"

Arcueid seemed to only now begin to care about the issue, and asked Fang Li about it.

"The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can be explained by chance, but your extraordinary combat power is definitely not something an ordinary person can possess. In addition, you completely withstand the power of those terrifying eyes and use them as if they were your own limbs. You can't possibly be someone like Shiki who has always lived in the ordinary world, right?"

At this point, Arcueid became increasingly concerned, getting out of bed and staring intently at Fang Li, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Could it be that you are connected to some ancient and mysterious entity? Perhaps a family that has maintained its bloodline to preserve ancient treasures? Or perhaps a successor who has passed down lost rituals to protect them? Could you be a mysterious heir conducting unknown research?"

The more Arcueid talked, the more excited she became, completely forgetting her previous unpleasantness and being dominated by happiness and joy.

"Hey, tell me."

As Arcueid said this, he even moved his entire body closer to the Fang Li.

That stunningly beautiful face came so close without any warning. Any man would have his heart start racing at that moment, right?

Unfortunately, Fang Li, without any change in expression, reached out and pressed Arcueid's head down, pushing Arcueid's face back onto the bed.

"I'm sorry, I'm not one of those people you're thinking of."

Fang Li ignored Arcueid's displeasure and spoke in this way.

"If I had to say what special experience I had, it would simply be that I had been trained in the methods of killing."

This explanation clearly failed to satisfy Arcueid.

"If you only know how to kill, how could you possibly train to this level?" Arcueid argued, "Humans have so-called limits. Unless you touch the mystical, even if you improve yourself, you will only become stronger, and you will never become truly powerful."

At least, from the perspective of those involved in the mystical, this is the extent to which ordinary people are.

Even Tohno Shiki, a boy whom Arcueid considered a slightly special ordinary person, was a descendant of the Seven Nights Clan clan, one of the Four Great Demon-Exterminating Families. Even without considering the exorcism impulse, he had the potential to train his body to break through the limits of the human body.

The same applies to Ryougi Shiki. Also born into Four Great Demon-Exterminating Families, the Ryougi Family not only awakened its origin but also directly connected with the Root.

Therefore, ordinary people who never touch any mystery can never attain true power.

Even when the Main God Space selects Main God Envoy, it chooses those with special powers, not just randomly.

Fang Li may seem ordinary, but if there weren't a soul capable of recording even death, he would have perished in that car accident long ago.

However, even knowing this, Fang Li was still certain of one thing.

"I really didn't lie to you."

Fang Li shrugged and said this with a slight smirk.

"All I really know is how to kill."

This time, the casual remark finally silenced Arcueid.

"Is all you know how to do?"

Arcueid lowered her head and whispered in a voice so faint that only she could hear it.

"It seems you're a lot like me."

When Arcueid said this, she no longer possessed her previous naivety and capriciousness; all that remained was a sadness that no one else could perceive.

Unfortunately, Fang Li still noticed, but chose to remain silent.

Perhaps that's really the case?

If Fang Li only knows how to kill, then Arcueid only knows how to kill vampires.

Because that was the meaning that Arcueid was given to it by the True Ancestor after it was born into this world.

Of course, Fang Li could confidently tell Arcueid that he was still different from her.

If someone kills someone, it's because they did so willingly.

Arcueid's killing of vampires, however, was almost entirely at the behest of others.

There is only one vampire that Arcueid would kill willingly.

That is a "snake".

Perhaps realizing that her thoughts had been read, Arcueid lay back down on the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and stopped talking.

Fang Li watched this scene quietly, then turned his head and looked out the window at the sky.

Dawn has arrived.
