Fear and Confusion

Lilith took in every expression on her face, a triumphant smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She leaned close to Moyan's ear and said in a bewitching tone:

"Little Moyan, do you know about your exclusive skill?"

Moyan raised her head and looked at her in confusion.

"Monster Demon Brand."

Lilith's voice carried a hint of temptation:

"As long as you carve the Monster Demon Brand onto a target's skin, they'll obey your every command from then on."

"If you carve the Monster Demon Brand onto your sister, she'll never leave you again."

"You can stay together forever and never be separated, okay?"

"!!!"

Moyan's heart pounded wildly.

The temptation was simply too great for her.

To be with her sister forever...

Her gaze could not help wavering.

But she quickly shook her head and bit her lip.

"No! I can't do that! My sister has been so good to me. How could I use such a despicable method against her?"

Lilith shrugged.

"Fine, fine. Pretend I never said anything."

"I've told you the method anyway. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

With that, Lilith's figure flashed and vanished into thin air.

Moyan stared at her now-empty shoulder, her thoughts in complete turmoil.

Lilith's words were like a seed, taking root and sprouting in her heart.

To be with her sister forever...

The thought lingered stubbornly in her mind.

Moyan walked out of the school in a daze, heading toward home.

With her head lowered, she walked while lost in thought.

She did not notice that she had turned into a secluded alley.

Few people usually came through this alley.

It was piled with garbage and filled with a foul stench.

Moyan frowned and was about to turn around and leave.

Just then, two men in black protective suits suddenly emerged from around the corner, blocking her path.

They were two Black Defectors.

The two Defectors had just finished handing out flyers and were wandering around.

They had been worrying about where to go next, never expecting to run into a top-tier beauty like Moyan.

Their eyes lit up at once.

They looked her up and down, their gazes filled with greed and lust.

"Tsk, tsk. Never thought we'd run into such a pretty girl here."

One of the Defectors, tall and skinny, licked his lips and leered.

"Little sister, school's out, huh? Want your big brothers to take you home?"

The other Defector, short and fat, added with a nasty grin:

"Yeah, yeah. We promise we'll take good care of you."

Moyan's expression darkened. She took a step back and said coldly:

"Move."

"Move?"

The tall Defector gave a derisive laugh.

"Little sister, don't be so unfriendly."

"This alley's so secluded that even if you scream your throat raw, nobody will come save you."

As they spoke, the two men closed in on Moyan.

Their expressions grew increasingly lecherous.

Moyan's heart sank.

She knew she was weak and no match for those two men.

And she could not run away either.

What should she do?

Was she really going to fall here today?

As she watched the two Defectors draw closer, Moyan's gaze turned icy.

She had endured enough.

Since you're looking to die, don't blame me for showing no mercy!

"Transform!"

With a thought from Moyan, purple-black magic power surged from within her body.

A flash of purple-black light passed over her. Her school uniform vanished, replaced by a purple-black dress.

The dress fell to her knees, exposing only her slender waist and fair calves. It was far more conservative than the revealing outfit she had worn as a Monster Demon Contractor.

She had specifically asked Lilith to modify it before.

Behind her, a pair of black wings slowly spread open.

Moyan's aura underwent a complete transformation.

Her original coolness became an extreme, bewitching allure.

The two Defectors were terrified out of their wits when they saw this.

They never would have imagined that this delicate-looking little girl was also a Contractor!

"Is this a ma... magical girl?"

The tall Defector's voice trembled slightly.

"No! Run!"

Neither of them dared entertain any filthy thoughts now. They turned and tried to flee.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

A cold smile appeared on Moyan's lips.

Her eyes turned an eerie red.

"Bewitchment!"

A purple-black beam shot from her eyes and enveloped the two Defectors.

The two Defectors' bodies instantly stiffened.

Their gazes became vacant, as if their souls had been stripped away.

Moyan looked at them coldly, her voice devoid of warmth.

"Kill each other."

As soon as the words fell, the two Defectors went mad and drew their weapons.

One grabbed a black club while the other gripped a dagger. With bloodshot eyes, they lunged at each other.

Before long, the two Defectors had beaten each other bloody. In the end, they both collapsed to the ground from excessive blood loss, no longer breathing.

Moyan folded away her wings and canceled her transformation.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

This was the first time she had killed someone.

A powerful wave of nausea rose in her chest.

"Urgh..."

She dry-heaved several times, but nothing came out.

Moyan did not dare remain there any longer and ran out of the alley.

Her heart was filled with fear and confusion.

She did not know how she could face her sister.

Her sister was so kind. If she found out Moyan had killed someone, would she hate her?

Would she abandon her?

As the sun set, it stretched her shadow long, long behind her.

The girl's footsteps grew faster and faster.

Before she realized it, helpless and frightened tears had already covered her face.
