" Xiao Huan, help me knock these people out..."
Aidan looked at the nearly one hundred people he had pinned to the ground with his abilities and whispered to his pocket.
"Go to hell!"
Xiao Huan's shrill voice entered Aikalun's mind.
"So you also consider me to be at the Human Limit combat power? I'm just an Variant breaking through to the ' Disaster ' realm!"
"It would be fine if these people were all ordinary people, but even the weakest of them have a ' King Master ' level. How am I supposed to hypnotize them?"
Faced with Xiao Huan's insults, Aidan lowered her head in shame.
"But... I don't want to kill so many people..."
"Sigh, you're hopeless. After five years as an assassin, how can you still be so kind?"
Xiao Huan sighed.
"I can weaken these people's mental state a bit, so if you kick them in the head, they should be knocked unconscious."
"Honestly, I have to help you even during your molting period. You're such a handful."
After Xiao Huan finished speaking, the hundred or so people suppressed by Aidan suddenly felt extremely dizzy, and some of them, who were already weak, fainted.
"Thanks!"
Aidan expressed her heartfelt gratitude and summoned several floating bone clubs to knock out the remaining dozens of people.
Yao Di stood not far away, watching all of this unfold, and slowly walked forward, approaching Aidan.
Aidan noticed the other person approaching and immediately tensed up.
"What... what's wrong with you...?"
Yao Di first looked around at the nearly one thousand people killed by Aidan and herself, then looked at the dozens of people who had fainted in front of Aidan.
Why let these dozens go?
Aidan paused, lowered her head, and said in a very soft voice.
"Because I thought they might have parents or children, I couldn't bear to kill them..."
[But you've already killed hundreds of people.]
Aidan pursed her lips. "I know, because we're on different sides, they're all my enemies, but even as enemies, I want to kill as few people as possible."
He focused his gaze on the dozens of people who had collapsed in front of him. "These dozens of people have lost the ability to resist. Even if I don't kill them, it won't cause any serious consequences."
"That's why... I didn't kill them..."
After saying that, he looked at Yao Di somewhat nervously, "Um... can you pretend you didn't see anything... and not kill these dozens of people? They won't do anything to us!"
Aidan's earnest gaze pierced through the gaps in her bangs and fell into Yao Di's eyes.
From those eyes... she saw pleading, worry, sympathy, and a complex emotion hidden deep within.
"Good..."
She opened her lips and said yes.
"Okay, thank you!"
Aidan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her thanks, and after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly realized what was happening.
"You... you just spoke?"
Yao Di blinked, somewhat bewildered, then covered her mouth, her face turning bright red; she was equally shocked.
"I... I thought you wouldn't..."
Aidan had only spoken halfway when she immediately realized that her words might be a bit impolite and quickly stopped herself.
Yao Di didn't care at all. Her face flushed, she lowered her head and took out the notice board again.
I'm not mute, I can speak.
She bit her lip hesitantly, but after glancing into Aidan's sincere and shy eyes, her heart calmed down immediately.
When I was little, my family favored boys over girls, and they named me this because they wanted a younger brother.
[Furthermore, my parents find it annoying when I talk. After my younger brother was born, they only talk to me when they're angry.]
When I was in school, they would ignore me when I spoke, so I gradually stopped talking.
Even through those few cold lines of text on the signboard, Aidan could feel the suffocating state of her life.
They also sensed the sorrow in Yao Di's heart as she recounted the incident.
However, she smiled faintly again.
[Because I always felt you wouldn't ignore what I said, I found myself responding to you without even realizing it.]
It's been five years since I last spoke.
Aidan blushed slightly and scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.
"Really... Well, that's an honor..."
Aidan clutched the hem of her clothes helplessly, feeling a mix of joy, nervousness, and embarrassment.
Yao Di was in a similar situation, head down, hands clasped together.
The two socially awkward individuals stood there awkwardly, neither of them breaking the silence. Mingming embarrassed inside, they also felt a sweet warmth in their hearts.
The pug, which had been lying in the pile of corpses nearby pretending to be dead, quietly poked its head out.
The big, round eyes lit up when it saw the two of them staring blankly, and it quickly kicked the long-haired man next to it with its short legs. The man had the same strength as it.
They nearly kicked his head off, but the long-haired man remained completely silent.
Only then did the pug realize that the long-haired man wasn't faking death; he was really dead.
His two intelligent eyes darted around frantically, as if he were pondering what to do in his current situation.
The pug couldn't understand why, even though the fight had only lasted less than ten minutes, people from other areas hadn't come to help yet.
The person who cleans their own litter box said that if there's an emergency in one area, other areas will arrive to help within 5 minutes at the latest.
Where are they?
The main problem was that Aikawen companion were too powerful; those who were trying to retreat and call for reinforcements were all killed before they could even leave.
After much deliberation, the pug finally decided that relying on a dog was better than relying on a human.
He crawled under the long-haired man's corpse like a toad, letting it completely cover him.
Then, using his short legs to prop up his own corpse, he slowly moved towards the main entrance connecting to other areas.
Another area a few minutes ago.
Several Gravekeepers ate seafood boxed meals while leaning against the fence, chatting and laughing.
"Hey, did you know? Little Sister Xi's getting married in a couple of days. He's from Atan Country in District 2. I heard he was a celebrity before he came here, and he's quite handsome."
Wow, I'm so envious!
"Sigh~ It's a pity I was already married before I came in."
As those people were chatting animatedly, a section of space in front of them began to spiral and distort.
Lin Wushuang appeared before the crowd as the figures twisted, and seeing the Gravekeepers almost face-to-face, Lin Wushuang heart leaped into her throat.
The Gravekeepers were slightly taken aback, then continued their conversation.
"?"
Seeing that the Gravekeepers in front of him remained unmoved, Lin Wushuang could hardly believe it.
Looking around, I realized I was indeed in the Gravekeepers's quarters and hadn't escaped.
That's strange.
But Lin Wushuang quickly realized the reason: each Gravekeepers's residential area had nearly a thousand people.
Besides, if he teleports here himself, others might mistake Lin Wushuang for the Gravekeepers as well.
"Hey, what are you doing standing there?"
Among the Gravekeepers, seeing Lin Wushuang shaking his head in front of them, they couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Lin Wushuang coughed lightly twice and smoothed her hair.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how to meet my girlfriend later."
Several Gravekeepers:...
After speaking, Lin Wushuang walked confidently away from the group and began to look around.
