The Possibility of His Sister Becoming a Beyonder

No. 6 Daffodil Street, 1 a. m.

The living room lights were still on, and two stunningly beautiful women were sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for something.

Unlike the mature and calm red-haired woman, the younger black-haired girl seemed restless, constantly glancing towards the door.

"Don't worry, your brother has succeeded and is on his way back."

The woman with blood-red hair, Ms. M, spoke gently. One of her golden eyes had turned a deep blue, and her vision seemed to transcend the current obstacle. "Yes, he's reached the entrance of Daffodil Street. Just a dozen meters more..."

Then I went home.

Before she could finish speaking, the black-haired Cecilia immediately stood up and strode towards the porch.

Just as Cecilia walked over, the door opened from the outside, and she saw her Luther, Luze, carrying a suitcase. His handsome face was pale, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. He walked in with unsteady steps, as if he couldn't even lift the suitcase.

"Luther!"

Seeing this, Cecilia quickly stepped forward to take the suitcase from Luther.

"I'm fine."

Luther smiled and didn't let his sister touch the things inside.

On the way back, his injuries, as expected, healed on their own. But as compensation, a strong hunger surged within him, as if trying to hollow out his body from the inside out. "My dear sister, I'm hungry. Is there anything left to eat at home? Preferably meat, tender meat."

I'll go look in the kitchen right away.

Cecilia said, turning and going into the kitchen.

Luther sent his sister away, took the briefcase, walked to Ms. M, placed it on the table, and opened it.

Several boxes were piled up in one corner of the box, emitting a bloody smell— the Demoness's organs he had removed. He didn't want his sister to see them, so he planned to keep them separately and preserve them with Ritual to ensure their freshness. On the other side of the box were the items he had taken from Madam Sharon.

Aside from some women's items and a small amount of banknotes, three items stand out most prominently. One is Beyonder Characteristic extracted from Madam Sharon's body after her death. It is a deep purple crystal, translucent and radiant, from which one can faintly hear ambiguous whispers.

The other peculiar object, which looked like a sharp spike and had the color of black iron, felt incredibly light when picked up. Relying on his Spiritual Intuition, Luther felt that this must also be a Beyonder Characteristic.

As for the remaining item, it was the bottle containing red liquid that Ms. M had asked Luther to bring her.

Extracted from the life force of many dead in Tingen City, it was once seen by Luther Madam Sharon used to mend her wounds.

Here, that's what you wanted.

He took the bottle out, placed it on the table, and then closed the suitcase.

Ms. M took the small bottle.

Luther watched her actions. He saw Ms. M open the bottle and drink all the liquid inside in one gulp. A blood-red light appeared on her skin. She couldn't help but lower her head, trembling as she let out a soft moan. After a moment, she slowly recovered.

Luther frowned slightly. Releasing his ear, he noticed that the sound of Flesh tearing apart on Ms. M's body had lessened and was no longer as intense as before.

Sure enough, she was using that liquid for treatment.

Although I had already guessed this would happen, it's a real shame we couldn't add poison.

Are you regretting not putting a deadly poison in it?

As if reading Luther's mind, Ms. M chuckled and asked.

"Of course not."

Luther lowered his eyes. "Your bomb is still implanted inside us, brother and sister. As long as you don't die immediately after being poisoned, you'll have enough time to kill us."

Moreover, Shepherd are incredibly resilient and difficult to kill; he simply couldn't find a poison that could kill her instantly in a short time.

"Yes, I'm so glad you're so sensible."

Ms. M smiled and said, "As a reward for fulfilling my request, what do you want?"

Award?

Hearing Ms. M say that, Luther couldn't help but feel pleased.

Did she genuinely want to give me a reward, or did she have ulterior motives?

"What, you don't believe me?"

Ms. M said.

Luther remained silent.

"What a pity. Well then, I'll teach you some advanced knowledge about Potion, or rather Beyonder Characteristic... These are things the Church of Evernight won't tell you." Seeing Luther's ambiguous attitude, Ms. M sighed and said.

"You should already know about Acting Method, so let me teach you the three laws of Beyonder Characteristic."

Ms. M said.

Luther readily agreed. He accepted the white bread and black tea that Cecilia had prepared for him to eat, and listened as Ms. M slowly explained the three laws.

The Three Laws of Beyonder Characteristics Beyonder Characteristic the laws of indestructibility, conservation, and aggregation. Indestructibility means that Beyonder Characteristic cannot be Destruction and will be extracted from the deceased extraordinary individuals. Conservation means that the total amount of Characteristic remains unchanged. Aggregation means that Characteristic of the same Sequence tend to aggregate together. In his previous experiences, Luther had vaguely grasped some of these laws, but now, after listening to Ms. M's explanation, he suddenly understood them completely.

No wonder extraordinary beings release their Characteristic after death; that's because Characteristic don't perish. Wait, if that's the case...:

"Then the Main Ingredient about the Listener that you provided me before, could it be...?"

"That's right, it's Characteristic extracted from a Listener died previously."

Ms. M said nonchalantly.

Luther's expression changed slightly, and he paused for a moment while eating, but he quickly returned to normal, picked up the white bread, dipped it in butter, and ate it, occasionally taking a sip of black tea.

"Also, among the things you got from that Demoness, there's an Assassin's Beyonder Characteristic," Ms. M chuckled. "If we knew what the auxiliary ingredients were, perhaps your sister could take it and become an extraordinary being... Do you have the Potion recipe Spirit Channeling from the Demoness?"

Luther quickly recalled that she was referring to the sharp, black iron-colored crystal. It wasn't surprising that Madam Sharon, Demoness Pathway Beyonder, possessed a bottom- Sequence Beyonder Characteristic.

But, should Cecilia become an Extraordinary...?

He hesitated for a moment.

Just then, Luther heard a noise beside him. It was Cecilia bringing out the prepared food and placing it on the table. She must have heard Ms. M's words—or rather, the latter had deliberately let her hear them.

"Brother, are Assassin extraordinary individuals who are capable of aggression?"

She prepared the tableware for Luther and asked as she did so.

"Yes, that's right."

Luther replied.

"I see... Well then, brother, if possible, I'd like to become an Extraordinary as well."

After Cecilia finished tidying up, she simply sat down next to Luther, looked intently into Luther eyes with her equally azure eyes, and said this.
