What do you mean you also want to return to the world?

Chapter 10: Seeking Death!

"Sorry, sorry, it's just a professional habit."

A few minutes later, Shi Yan was taken aside and looked at the man who had lost all his charisma with a speechless expression.

"That was just a part-time job. Now it's your full-time job. Let's get to know each other again." The man handed another police ID to Shi Yan. Before Shi Yan could take it, he opened it first. Shi Yan found that it was not an ordinary police ID, but a dark gray ancient sword badge. "Sword Bureau, Qi Fei."

The Sword-Wielding Bureau? Is this the official power in this world?

Shi Yan said calmly, "I don't quite understand what you do."

"If you don't understand, just think of us as police officers. We are indeed in the police system, it's just that most people don't know it." Qi Fei slowly put away his identification. "Let's get straight to the point, Shi Yan. Where were you at this time yesterday?"

"I'm on my way home."

"And then, what happened on your way home?"

"What happened...?" Shi Yan feigned a hint of confusion. "I don't remember very well."

"You should be honest, Shi Yan." Before Qi Fei could speak, Tang Shi interrupted him, saying coldly, "We're here to help you."

"But I really don't know what you mean."

"Alright, Shi Yan, I know you're nervous. After all, some things are indeed beyond your comprehension, but we have to try to accept it, don't we?" Qi Fei stopped Tang Shi, who was about to continue speaking, and then his gaze shifted downwards, landing on Shi Yan's left hand. "Even if you can't remember what happened yesterday, you should be able to feel that there are already some things inside your body that don't belong to you anymore, right?"

Shi Yan lowered his head, his gaze falling on his left hand, which he had deliberately hidden in his pocket. Although Shi Yan was trying his best to control it, the crimson genitals were still writhing wildly in the mud like a restless earthworm.

"Don't worry." Qi Fei patted Shi Yan on the shoulder. "We really are here to help you."

……

"You mean, monsters really do exist in this world, and one of them is inside me, and that it's not my hallucination?"

Over the next ten minutes or so, Shi Yan listened to Qi Fei's account and gradually understood the current situation.

In short, in Qi Fei's and the others' eyes, Shi Yan had lost his memory in last night's accident, which was why he hadn't quite figured out what was going on and was coming to school as if nothing had happened. Since that's what they thought, Shi Yan went along with it, his face pale and his eyes full of worry: "Will I die?"

"Of course not, it's not a very serious matter... well, I wouldn't say it's not serious, but everything is still under control," Qi Fei said with a smile. "Otherwise, it wouldn't be two harmless guys like us coming to find you."

Is it harmless to humans and animals?

Shi Yan couldn't quite agree with this. Although Qi Fei did seem quite gentle, the woman named Tang Shi was clearly not like that. She followed behind Shi Yan by about two steps, carrying a black box, and remained silent for a long time, just like Qi Fei's little follower.

But Crimson saw through everything and shouted directly into Shi Yan's mind, "The woman behind you is stronger than this man, but neither of them poses a threat to me. Give me your body later, I'll kill this woman first, then deal with this man..."

Shut up!

Shi Yan was a little worried that Fei Hong's words would be overheard, after all, the two of them were not ordinary people, but fortunately they did not react.

"So you're here to help me get rid of the monster?"

Although Yan already knew the answer to this question from Scarlet, it was only reasonable and logical for him to ask them again.

What if Scarlet was lying to him? If he could get rid of this great demon, wouldn't he be able to return to a normal life?

Having finally been given a second chance at life, he certainly didn't want to get involved with anything dangerous.

Unfortunately, Crimson did not lie to him.

"I'm sorry." Qi Fei shook his head. "Once a human is tainted by the flesh and blood of a demon, there is no way to separate them except through death."

Although Shi Yan already knew the answer, he was still disappointed. Only Fei Hong was very happy and said smugly, "I told you, unless you commit suicide, you can't be separated from me. Otherwise, you might as well give in to me and wait for me to be resurrected..."

"But as I said, you don't need to worry too much." Qi Fei's voice drowned out Fei Hong's words. "As long as it's controlled properly, most people who are corrupted by monsters can still have a normal lifespan and live a normal life."

"Can I do it too?"

"Then you probably can't do it."

Shi Yan's expression froze.

"Hahaha, did I scare you... cough cough." Qi Fei turned his head and saw Tang Shi's eyes, which looked like she was about to draw her sword. He quickly suppressed his smile. "I thought you were too nervous. I just wanted to make a joke to relax you. Don't mind it."

Is this guy really okay?

"But I'm not entirely joking." Qi Fei's tone shifted again. "The monster inside you is quite troublesome; it's not something you can just control casually. Especially what it did last night. You can't remember it now, but that doesn't mean you'll never remember. So we have to give you a heads-up beforehand, letting you know that a very dangerous and ferocious demon resides in your body."

No one knows that better than me.

Shi Yan was complaining in his heart, but he caught a small problem from Qi Fei's words.

What is meant by "the monster inside you"?

Shouldn't there be two monsters living inside him? How come one is missing?

Before Shi Yan could ask, Qi Fei suddenly stopped: "Telling you so much all at once isn't something you can easily accept, is it? But this is the real world, a real world that most people never experience in their entire lives. From this perspective, you're quite lucky."

Shi Yan was silent for a while, then sighed heavily: "If I could, I would rather never have this kind of luck in my life."

"Haha, that's true," Qi Fei said with a laugh. "But your ability to accept things is much better than I imagined, not at all like a high school student. You know, many adults, even when the evidence is right in front of them, still refuse to accept it."

Oh no, did he notice something was wrong?

Shi Yan panicked and was about to explain when she saw Qi Fei pull a piece of chocolate out of his pocket: "But no matter what, you must have been frightened for the past two days. Have a piece of chocolate. This is specially made to help you relax."

Specialty chocolate?

Shi Yan looked down and then his lips twitched.

What the heck? Isn't this just one of those cheap chocolates that cost a few dollars a piece at the school store? Couldn't you at least change the packaging before you lied?

Shi Yan felt somewhat helpless, but since the offer had already been presented to him, he couldn't refuse. So he reached out his left hand from his pocket, ready to take it.

But at that moment, Qi Fei suddenly quickened his pace, grabbed Shi Yan's left hand, and interlocked his fingers with his.

Two grown men holding hands on the street looked rather strange, but Shi Yan's attention was not on that at all, because he felt a very peculiar force flowing into his body through his fingers.

Then he heard a crimson, furious roar in his mind.

"court death!"
