"Okay, thank you both for your cooperation. Please come in."
The two entered the building and looked around for a moment before spotting a sign placed to the side.
Yuliu glanced at it indifferently, "The party is being held on the top floor; I guess the people who want to kill us are there too."
"No, not here." Hela shook her head in denial.
Yuliu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why?"
Hela pointed to the ground. "I have a feeling there's someone in the basement, and they look familiar."
"Familiar... do you know him?"
The latter nodded. "I think this is the person from the building I ruined five years ago. He was probably the chairman or something."
"I see..." Yuliu stroked his stubble-covered chin and nodded slightly. "Then it all makes sense. You destroyed his business before, and now he's probably here to seek revenge."
"That makes sense. I'll go kill her."
"That's possible, but I think they'll be on guard. Why don't you come up with me first, and then sneak up there quietly?"
Hela thought for a moment, glanced at the surrounding surveillance cameras, then ran to a blind spot in the surveillance, and her body suddenly split apart.
In no time, they turned into two Hela.
This astonishing scene surprised Yuliu; he hadn't expected Hela to possess such an ability.
Then, one of Hela's figures began to slowly dissipate, turning into a wisp of blood mist that drifted into the ventilation duct.
"That's fine. My clone will kill her, and I'll go to the banquet with you."
After saying that, without waiting for Yuliu's response, he walked directly into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
Yuliu quickly slipped inside the elevator before the doors closed.
bite!
As the elevator announced its arrival at the floor, the iron door blocking their way slowly began to open.
The dazzling lights shone on Hela's pale face.
The spacious venue was already filled with young people of all kinds, dressed in various styles.
They sang and danced, like soldiers celebrating a victorious battle.
On the central stage, several beautiful young women, some cute, some alluring, and some sexy, were performing an energetic dance, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
Hela suddenly felt something was off.
My perception of Life seems to be hindered here, becoming vague and indistinct.
If you disregard facial features, Hela wouldn't even recognize that the person standing next to her is Yuliu.
He glanced at Yuliu beside him and saw that the other person didn't seem to be acting strangely.
Is this targeted at me?
I estimate so.
However, this confirmed Hela's suspicions that the other party had indeed come to take revenge on her.
And they put in a lot of effort.
However, Hela remained unconcerned; no human being in this world had yet been born who could single-handedly defeat her.
I randomly found a seat, picked up a dessert from the side, and started eating.
They ate while watching the beautiful women dancing on stage.
It has to be said that even Hela, Variant devoid of human emotions, felt that there was something special about their dancing.
Furthermore, some dancers were dressed up as animal-eared girls by machines, making the scene even more pleasing to the eye.
Yuliu didn't have Hela's good mindset. He remained vigilant about his surroundings while trying to make sure he didn't seem suspicious, and sat at the table drinking.
Suddenly, Yuliu felt someone nudge him from behind.
His instinctive reaction nearly made him pull out his gun and fire a shot behind him.
However, he restrained himself from touching it and slowly turned around to look.
A long-haired, gothic-style boy with a red scarf around his neck, covering most of his face, was looking at him with shifty eyes.
"What's up?"
Yuliu deliberately lowered his voice, making his words sound extremely oppressive.
He has achieved his goal.
The boy's body trembled slightly at first, and after swallowing hard, he spoke with difficulty.
"Um... could you come with me...?"
As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, until it was eventually drowned out by the surrounding loud music.
If Yuliu hadn't had such keen hearing, he really wouldn't have been able to hear what he was saying.
Yuliu didn't answer immediately, but simply picked up a glass of wine, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.
Bang!
The wine glass slammed heavily on the table, making a dull thud that startled the boy once again.
Is there something you need?
"It's just... there are some things I can't say here... please, please..."
Yuliu's gaze swept over the boy from head to toe.
She looked to be just over twenty years old, and she was timid and hesitant, even quickly looking away when her eyes met mine.
He just seems like a socially awkward teenager.
Yuliu glanced in Hela's direction again, and seeing that she was alright, decided to see what the young man was up to.
"Fine, if it's nothing important... I'll kill you."
Yuliu slowly stood up and glared at the other person with a cold look in her eyes.
The frightened boy quickly nodded and, with stiff steps, led Yuliu out of the arena.
The boy led Yuliu all the way to the rooftop at the very top of the building.
Looking at the empty rooftop where only he and the boy were, Yuliu frowned.
"Speak, what is it?"
The boy, who had his back to him, swallowed hard and slowly turned around.
"Um... have you ever killed anyone?"
Yuliu frowned slightly, and silently slipped his hand under his trench coat to the pistol tucked into his waistband.
"Um... did you actually kill anyone?"
Seeing that Yuliu did not answer, the boy repeated the sentence, and Yuliu could clearly feel that the other party's tone had hardened.
So what if you've killed someone?
"May I ask you another question...? Who were the people you killed?"
"I'll kill anyone, as long as you pay me. There's no one I can't kill."
"Is it just because of money?"
The boy clearly didn't believe Yuliu's explanation and pressed for an answer.
"Of course, money makes the world go round."
No, you're lying.
Yuliu's body jolted suddenly, and a bead of cold sweat Wusheng slid down his cheek.
He believed he was very good at hiding his emotions; even under the most tense circumstances, he could never reveal a single flaw.
The boy in front of me was able to immediately detect that slight lie.
"Why did you kill him...?"
Yuliu smiled gently, the hint of panic in her eyes quickly disappearing.
"Because I hate humans. They are selfish, self-serving, and destructive towards each other, killing one another."
"I hate this deceitful race, that's why I killed."
The boy lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought, "But aren't you also killing your own kind of people...?"
"Yes, that's one of the reasons I hate humans, and of course I hate myself as a human."
"Okay, thank you..."
The boy seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and nodded slightly twice with his head down.
So what exactly are you trying to achieve by asking all these questions?
The boy raised his head and hooked his scarf around his neck to reveal his entire face.
"I ask these questions so that I can kill you with a clear conscience..."
Bang--!!!
A burst of flame erupted from the pre-installed gun barrel, carrying a heat wave that distorted space as it blasted towards the boy in front of him.
Half of the boy's body was instantly covered.
