When Fang Li suddenly cut his palm, causing crimson blood to flow from the open wound, Arcueid's eyes widened in shock.
She couldn't help it.
It was just too sudden.
No one would have expected Fang Li to suddenly cut his palm for no reason.
However, Fang Li seemed to be lost in his own world, staring at his bleeding palm and muttering to himself.
"Why is someone as fragile as me able to record the death of everything?"
This sudden thought made Fang Li follow his instincts and do what he had just done on a whim.
However, after doing so, Fang Li felt that he might have caught a glimpse of inspiration.
"Speaking of which, why do I have the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
He already knew the answer to this question.
Unlike Ryougi Shiki and Tohno Shiki, who were natives of this world and were able to open the brain circuit that connected to the Root, thereby understanding death and obtaining the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li's acquisition of the Mystic Eyes was because he possessed a soul with a similar quality to the Root.
So, Fang Li had always believed that obtaining the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception was a natural thing for him.
However, today, after this impulsive act, Fang Li began to question what he had always taken for granted.
"With countless abilities related to death, why did I end up with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
Indeed.
Upon closer examination, this was a fundamental question.
How many planar worlds and dungeon worlds were there in the Main God's Dimension? Thousands upon thousands, if not more.
Even within the plane where Fang Li resided, the Dungeon Worlds that were derived from it could be considered almost infinite.
Among these countless Dungeon Worlds, there were countless abilities related to death- and not just the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
"So why did I end up with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
Looking at the blood flowing from his palm, Fang Li finally furrowed his brow.
Fang Li realized that he had noticed a very fundamental problem.
An issue that, once resolved, would allow him to fully comprehend the essence of his soul, eliminate any hidden dangers within it, and achieve transformation.
It was to make Fang Li aware of this question that Ryougi Shiki had brought him to this world.
"Why did I, with a soul that records death, end up with the mystery of this world?"
If he could solve this question, Fang Li would understand the essence of his soul.
But while Fang Li was absorbed in this question, he failed to notice something.
Arcueid, standing next to him, was staring intently in one direction.
She was staring at Fang Li's hand.
No.
To be more precise, she was staring at the blood flowing from Fang Li's hand.
"Blood..."
Arcueid's crimson eyes suddenly wavered, and her focus began to blur.
Her previously charming face twisted slightly before going blank.
"Hmm?"
Deep in thought, Fang Li felt as if he had been interrupted and was momentarily startled.
The reason was none other than...
Arcueid slowly grabbed Fang Li's palm, her eyes fixed on the blood dripping from his wound.
Then Fang Li heard it.
Arcueid's breathing had become heated.
As if enchanted by something, Arcueid pulled Fang Li's slightly cut hand toward her.
Her eyes were filled with longing and wild hunger.
"You..."
Seeing Arcueid like this, Fang Li was slightly taken aback.
But Arcueid seemed oblivious, still staring at Fang Li's hand as she brought it closer to her face.
Towards her mouth.
"Ha... ha..."
Arcueid's heavy breathing became uncontrollable.
With hot breath, Arcueid brought Fang Li's blood-stained hand to her mouth.
Just as Arcueid was about to bite down, Fang Li couldn't watch any longer.
"That's enough!"
Fang Li couldn't help but shout.
"Wake up! You idiot!"
At his words, Arcueid's actions came to an abrupt halt.
*"Pā----!"
A loud sound suddenly echoed.
It was the sound of Arcueid forcefully slapping away Fang Li's bleeding hand with enough force to shatter a rock.
Under such pressure, even Fang Li couldn't ignore the pain in his hand.
But he had no time to think about it.
Because Arcueid, as if shocked by an electric current, suddenly jumped away from Fang Li.
Her eyes were still fixed on the blood on Fang Li's hand.
"I... I..."
Arcueid bit her lip.
Her whole body was shaking.
"----!"
The next moment, as if she could not stand it any longer, Arcueid abruptly turned around and pushed off the ground with a loud bang. Her figure shot towards the wall, and after landing on it, she immediately jumped again and left the Tohno Mansion.
Fang Li watched the scene unfold, his eyes clouded with uncertainty and thought.
"Could it be..."
Realizing the reason behind Arcueid's sudden behavior, Fang Li couldn't help but cluck his tongue.
How could he have forgotten?
At that moment, Tohno Shiki realized that something was wrong and came running over, excited.
"What happened?" Tohno Shiki asked in surprise. "What just happened?"
"Nothing." Fang Li didn't look at Tohno Shiki. Instead, he kept his eyes on the direction Arcueid had left and said, "Tell Kohaku and Hisui that I'm going out, but today's work should continue as usual."
With that, Fang Li ignored Tohno Shiki, his figure flashing like teleportation as he landed on the wall, and just like Arcueid, he jumped out of the Tohno mansion.
...
"Ha... ha... ha..."
The labored breathing gradually became tinged with discomfort and frustration.
Arcueid gasped painfully, her face full of anguish, but she clenched her teeth and tried to suppress the urge that was erupting from her body. Like a nimble civet, she darted across the rooftops, never once looking back as she raced forward.
No destination.
No particular destination.
The only thought in Arcueid's mind was to get as far away from Fang Li as possible.
No, she needed to get as far away from everyone as she could.
After all, to Arcueid in her current state, humans were dangerous temptations.
"Ha... ha... ha..."
Her panting grew more rapid.
But the more this happened, the more Arcueid couldn't afford to stop.
When Arcueid finally did stop, she realized something.
She had arrived at a grassy field on the outskirts of Misaki Town.
"Here..."
Here, no one should come, right?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
"So, it really is you?"
A cold, clear voice echoed from above Arcueid.
