Shen Qianyu could never have imagined the truth she now saw so clearly.
Ye Qiyan and Altos.
Though their abilities were similar, everyone had always considered them two entirely different people. Now, before her eyes, they had overlapped completely.
A bullet had pierced her heart.
Blood streamed endlessly from the gaping wound.
Ye Qiyan had held nothing back in his attack. He had fully intended either to kill her or to injure her so badly she could no longer move.
If that strike had failed, he would have been even less inclined to let Shen Qianyu escape.
Eve and Lisette had already sealed off her retreat.
From the moment she chose to open those crimson eyes and peer at Ye Qiyan.
Shen Qianyu had lost any chance of escape.
"Cough, cough..."
Blood clogged Shen Qianyu's throat.
Ye Qiyan gripped her hair. Though he wore a smile, his eyes were utterly cold.
He met her gaze.
Those crimson eyes were filled with the fear of death.

The Demon's whispers drowned out her instinct to think, and all the information processing in her mind became her one and only answer.
"I, I don't want... to die..."
"Full marks."
A ghastly white light engulfed her.
Shen Qianyu opened her eyes. She felt as though she had arrived on a road and was walking forward unconsciously.
On either side of the road, humans without facial features knelt prostrate on the ground, praying for something.
And at the end of that road.
She stared blankly at the sacred skeletal Demon before her, letting it raise a hand to stroke her head.

"Ha! Ha! Ha..."
Shen Qianyu's consciousness returned to reality.
She was still alive.
Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.
