Inspiration Interrupted

"You..."

Arcueid's eyes widened as she watched Fang Li suddenly cut his palm, causing bright red blood to flow from the separated skin.

no way.

This is so sudden.

No one would have expected that Fang Li would suddenly cut his own palm for no reason.

However, Fang Li seemed to be immersed in his own world, staring at his cut palm and muttering to himself.

"How could someone as fragile as me be able to record all the deaths?"

It was this sudden idea that led Fang Li to follow his heart and do this on a whim.

However, after doing so, Fang Li felt...

I seem to have grasped some kind of inspiration.

"By the way, why do I possess the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"

This question is completely self-evident.

Although Fang Li is not like Ryougi Shiki and Tohno Shiki, who are inhabitants of this world and therefore able to open the brain circuits connecting to the Root, understand death, and thus obtain the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li was able to obtain the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception because he possessed a soul with a nature similar to the Root.

Therefore, Fang Li has always believed that obtaining the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is a matter of course.

However, today, on a whim, Fang Li began to question this seemingly obvious matter.

"There are countless abilities related to death, so why did I end up with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"

That's right.

Upon closer examination, this is a very fundamental issue.

In the Main God Space, there are countless Plane World and Instance World.

Even the Instance World derived from the Fang Li resides in can be described as virtually endless.

In this vast Instance World, there are countless abilities related to death, far more than just the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

"Then why did I receive the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"

Staring at the blood flowing from his palm, Fang Li finally frowned.

Fang Li realized that he had noticed a very fundamental problem.

This is a question that, once answered, can lead to a profound understanding of the true nature of one's soul, completely resolve hidden dangers within it, and achieve a transformation.

Ryougi Shiki brought Fang Li into this world precisely to draw Fang Li's attention to this issue.

"Why did I, with a soul that records death, receive the mystery of this world?"

Once this problem is solved, Fang Li will be able to understand the essence of his soul.

While Fang Li was engrossed in this problem, he didn't even notice.

Beside him, Arcueid was staring intently in one direction.

Those were Fang Li's hands.

No.

More accurately, it should be said that it came from Fang Li's hands.

"Blood..."

Arcueid's crimson eyes suddenly wavered, and their focus began to slowly fade.

All that remained was a slightly distorted pretty face, which eventually became blank and lifeless.

"Um?"

Fang Li was immersed in his thoughts, seemed to be interrupted and was slightly startled.

There is no other reason.

It was only because Arcueid slowly grasped Fang Li's hand, her eyes still fixed on the blood flowing from his palm.

Immediately, Fang Li heard it.

Arcueid's breathing became hot.

As if tempted by something, Arcueid pulled Fang Li's slightly cut hand towards herself.

The eyes staring up at it were filled with longing and ferocity.

"You..."

Fang Li was slightly startled when he saw Arcueid like this.

Arcueid, however, seemed oblivious to everything, continuing to stare at Fang Li's hand while bringing it to her own face.

He moved it closer to his mouth.

"Ha ha..."

Arcueid's rapid breathing finally became uncontrollable.

Under the scorching breath, Arcueid pulled Fang Li's hand, which was dripping with blood, to her mouth.

Seeing Arcueid about to bite, Fang Li couldn't stand it anymore.

"Enough!"

Fang Li couldn't help but speak up.

"Wake up! You stupid woman!"

One sentence made Arcueid's movements suddenly stop.

"Smack—!"

A very loud voice suddenly rang out.

That was the sound of Arcueid slapping away Fang Li's bleeding hand with a force almost capable of shattering rocks.

Under such force, even Fang Li could not ignore the pain in his hand.

However, Fang Li had no time to pay attention to this.

Because Arcueid recoiled abruptly from Fang Li's side as if she had been electrocuted.

His eyes remained fixed on the blood on Fang Li's hands.

"I... I..."

Arcueid bit her lip.

His whole body was trembling.

"————!"

The next moment, Arcueid seemed unable to bear it any longer. She suddenly turned around, and with a "bang," she stepped on the ground and darted towards the wall. After landing on it, she immediately stepped on the edge of the wall again and leaped out of the Tohno family's territory.

Fang Li watched this scene unfold, his eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

"Could it be..."

Thinking about the reason for Arcueid's sudden erratic behavior, Fang Li couldn't help but click his tongue.

How could I have forgotten about this?

At this moment, Tohno Shiki seemed to realize something was wrong and rushed over in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Tohno Shiki asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"... It's nothing." Fang Li didn't look at Tohno Shiki, but just looked in the direction Arcueid had left, and said to Tohno Shiki, "Please tell Kohaku and Hisui that I'm going out, and today's work is as usual."

After saying that, Fang Li ignored Tohno Shiki and flashed to the wall as if he had teleported. Like Arcueid, he left the Tohno family.

"Hahaha..."

The panting gradually took on a tone of discomfort and distress.

Arcueid gasped for breath, her face contorted in pain, yet she gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge surging within her. Like a nimble cat, she leaped swiftly across the buildings, disappearing without looking back.

No destination.

There's nothing I want to do.

Arcueid's only thought now is that, no matter what, she must get as far away from Fang Li as possible.

No, it should be said that you should try to stay away from everyone.

After all, for Arcueid now, humans are dangerous drugs.

"Hahaha..."

His breathing became increasingly rapid.

But the more this happens, the less Arcueid can stop.

She only noticed it when Arcueid stopped.

I arrived at the meadow on the outskirts of Misaki City.

"In this case..."

I doubt anyone would come here.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

"So it really was you?"

A cold, clear voice rang out from above Arcueid's head.
