8 I can stay because ,???

—————————————————————

(Two days ago)

{hey Qiàngdù can you look at this?} (me)

{at what} (Qiàngdù)

{something about this kid feels off} (me)

{oh right you have the perception skill right?}

(Qiàngdù)

{yeah and you probably have a higher level} (me)

{okay}(Qiàngdù) she gets silent for a second then says {whatever it is it isn't human and explains the slight killing interest if been feeling}

{what should we do!}(me)

{kill it after hearing your explanation about Games it would make us stronger too} (Qiàngdù)

{that is not a valid method to use when deciding wether or not to kill someone!!} (me) I don't know why but Qiàngdù seems always ready to kill something she's ridiculous.

{ did you think something offensive} (Qiàngdù)

Then there's her ridiculous perception though luckily it hasn't evolved into mind reading.

{Well if we don't want it to hurt the people here we should kill it I can send you quick images showing you what to do}(Qiàngdù)

Huh may be she isn't so cruel. { Right!} (Me)

We convinced the weird thing to follow us to a dark alley and surprisingly it didn't even fight. I made use of the kitchen knife that Qiàngdù had me steak and it went down easy I made sure to stab the glowing crystal thing that floated to the surface as it lost its form.{someone saw you} (Qiàngdù)

{what it's probably fine} there was no body or mess to clean up so it went fine and we went on our way.

Turns out that was a bad thing. Not that I didn't feel bad I spent the night crying it looked too human. At this time I forced Qiàngdù to the forefront to mask emotions though I control the body only her emotions would be visible. She ensured the body was fine while i spent the night crying. Honestly I don't want to fight humanoid monsters. Good thing I have Qiàngdù for now. But I might need to get used to it.

"You what!?" (Jisan) she was extremely upset and had already rushed over grabbing my shoulders.

"Don't worry I knew it wasn't human!"(me) I attempted to reassure her but it didn't work.

"How would you know that"(Jisan)

"The kid seemed off and I was right!" (Me)

"So every time a kid seems off you'll kill them?!"(Jisan)

"Yes!! Wait-"(Me) I already said enough to make her not want to let me leave the house. When I answered I was extremely confident because I was certain whatever level of perception Qiàngdù has she won't mistake a person for a monster unless they meant serious harm. Though this convinced her to let me stay she seemed worried. According to her before I can learn weapons I need to learn ethics. Especially needing a moral compass that told me not to kill people. But if they seemed off to both of us they probably aren't human or they are extremely dangerous. Well what I said doesn't seem 'right' anyways.
