Li Anle revealed vampire-like sharp canine teeth and let out a piercing, bat-like screech.
Li Cunxu said, "So it's the Blood Personality."
Li Anle's situation was very special, so special that even in his previous life, Li Cunxu had never seen the same case in the game.
Li Anle was not paralyzed due to an accident; her paralysis was artificially induced, and the person who induced it was the Original Body.
The Original Body used seventy-two Forbidden Spirit Nails to pin Li Anle down inside her body, rendering her unable to move and bedridden.
Was the Original Body a pervert? Certainly not.
Far from causing harm, it was actually protection.
A Hundred Years Ago, the humans of the Divine Beast World occupied seventy percent of the continent's territory; now, human territory is only one percent.
A Hundred Years Ago, the population of the Divine Beast World was 75 billion; now, it is 740 million, which is one percent of the population from a Hundred Years Ago.
The drastic reduction in territory and population are both due to the Great Cataclysm.
And the culprit for this disaster is the Gods from Outside the Realm.
Li Anle's physical peculiarity comes precisely from the Gods from Outside the Realm.
The power of the four evil gods eroded Li Anle, turning her into a cunning, evil, and terrifying monster.
The four Gods from Outside the Realm come from four different worlds; their powers are incompatible. Li Cunxu had never seen anyone integrate the powers of the four gods into one being—Scorpion Daddy was unique.
Her personalities were influenced by the four gods, splitting into four evil Sub-Personalities.
The Younger Sister is not entirely unsalvageable; the Main Personality is the good one, but the branches are strong while the root is weak. The Main Personality is suppressed by the four Sub-Personalities, only gaining control of the body for a very short time each day, and even when she does, she cannot communicate with Li Cunxu.
The four Sub-Personalities all have acting talent; each one pretends to speak as the Main Personality to gain Li Cunxu's sympathy, attempting to lift the seal of the Forbidden Spirit Nails.
Li Cunxu could not distinguish whether the Main Personality or a Sub-Personality was speaking.
The Original Body immobilized Li Anle with the Forbidden Spirit Nails both to prevent her from running out to harm others and to protect her from being eliminated by the Alliance as a Cultist.
Li Anle had always been unable to move, but today she suddenly could, even climbing into the wheelchair, coupled with the Original Body's sudden death this morning.
Li Cunxu had reason to suspect that Li Anle got up and poisoned his breakfast to kill him.
As for where the Poison comes from? Li Anle's blood is the most terrifying Poison.
"However, this is just my wishful thinking; verification requires asking Li Anle."
Li Cunxu still held a sliver of unwillingness to believe it in his heart.
He was unwilling to believe his Younger Sister would harm him, even if his Younger Sister had turned into an uncontrollable monster.
In the blink of an eye, midnight arrived.
Li Cunxu questioned the Blood Personality, the Evil Personality, the Evil Personality, and the Demon Personality.
"My guess seems to be wrong; it wasn't my sister who killed myself."
The other three personalities acted ignorant. Although Li Anle's Evil Personality admitted to killing him, Li Cunxu could tell at a glance that the Evil Personality was lying.
Although Li Anle's four Sub-Personalities were all cunning individuals, they had too little experience; their acting skills in this area were insufficient to deceive Li Cunxu.
"If my sister didn't kill me, then who did?"
Li Anle, lying on the sofa, suddenly spoke, "Brother, there is one Forbidden Spirit Nail missing from my body."
The only one who would tell him that a Forbidden Spirit Nail was missing from her body could only be his Younger Sister, the Main Personality.
The four evil Sub-Personalities would only conceal this fact.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu immediately fetched a tuning fork made of Forbidden Spirit Iron to verify. He struck the tuning fork with the Forbidden Spirit Horn Hammer, and the Forbidden Spirit tuning fork vibrated, creating Resonance with the Forbidden Spirit Nails inside Li Anle.
He counted the Forbidden Spirit Nails that lit up.
"One, two, three... seventy-one."
Seventy-one; indeed, one was missing.
The Forbidden Spirit Nail on her right wrist had vanished.
Li Cunxu's expression turned extremely grim. Li Anle couldn't move, so she couldn't remove the Forbidden Spirit Nails herself. Then who removed it?
Why did he only remove one nail? Why not remove them all and completely liberate Li Anle?
The person who removed the Forbidden Spirit Nail from Li Anle's body—how did they know the nails were inside her?
Could it be that he already knew Younger Sister Li Anle's secret?
Connecting this to the Original Body's sudden death this morning, could he be the one responsible?
Li Cunxu paced anxiously around the house. Who exactly was he, or she?
"No, I can't keep dwelling on the other person's identity. I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark; I can't guess who the person in the shadows is just by guessing.
Let's hypothesize: that person is the one who caused my sudden death this morning. If he hears the news that I am still alive, what will he do?
He will probably act again.
Set a trap to catch him?
No, I don't know how strong the opponent is, and besides, I am not yet a Beastmaster; I don't have the strength to catch him.
Call the police?
I don't have conclusive evidence; I can't make the police believe someone is secretly harming me."
Even if he requested police protection, what then? Even if he stayed at the police station, there would always be a time to leave.
There is only a thousand days for a thief, but never a thousand days for guarding against a thief.
Furthermore, police involvement risks exposing his Younger Sister's secret, which Li Cunxu could not accept.
"This won't work, that won't work—what should I do?"
Li Cunxu pulled at his hair with both hands, restless and anxious.
"Anxiety won't help you come up with a strategy, Li Cunxu. You must calm down, calm down more."
Verbal calming was not enough to make someone truly calm.
But Li Cunxu knew that only by thinking calmly could he grasp a sliver of hope for survival.
If he couldn't calm down, Li Cunxu would forcibly use a physical method to calm himself.
He filled the bathtub with cold water and threw in the large Ice Blocks he took from the refrigerator.
The icy water submerged the top of his head, simultaneously extinguishing the restlessness in his heart and allowing his mind to regain composure.
"Let's imagine: if I hadn't been resurrected through transmigration and had died normally, everything going according to the other party's wishes, what would have happened?
If I died, the school would definitely inform my family of my death. His family consists only of his paralyzed Younger Sister.
When the Younger Sister learns of her brother's death, she will surely Collapse.
The four Sub-Personalities might not Collapse, but the Main Personality Younger Sister definitely would.
People erupt with terrifying power in despair, especially a Younger Sister eroded by the power of the four gods.
Moreover, with one Forbidden Spirit Nail missing out of seventy-two, the Forbidden Spirit Nail seal has a loophole. The desperate Younger Sister will break free from all restraints, completely Degenerate, embrace the power of the four gods, and become a terrifying monster.
Therefore, the opponent's goal was never me; it was my Younger Sister."
Li Cunxu analyzed calmly, and as his analysis concluded, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Once he understood the opponent's objective, Li Cunxu could prescribe the right remedy and devise a countermeasure.
Rumble~
A bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the entire Pupil Capital.
This lightning bolt was like the charge signal from a Warrior's hand; the heavy rain followed its call, pouring down with a whoosh, and in an instant, it was pouring outside.
Li Cunxu gazed at the curtain of rain outside the window, "Heaven aids me."
"Your goal is my Younger Sister; I will certainly thwart you."
