"Really?" Fang Li turned his gaze to Arcueid, inquiring with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Why do you think that?"

After all, up to this point, Fang Li hadn't shown any particular obsession with hunting Vampires, unlike Arcueid, whose intentions were so apparent.

Generally speaking, no one would assume that Fang Li was determined to hunt down the bloodsucking creatures lurking in the shadows of the city.

So why was Arcueid so sure of this?

Faced with Fang Li's question, Arcueid simply replied,

"Intuition." Arcueid replied straightforwardly, "Even though I don't feel any obsession or anything like that, haven't you always agreed to make a move? Like with Nrvnqsr? The Dead Apostles? And even that 'Serpent' guy?"

Indeed, Fang Li had not shown any excessive obsession, but he had not hesitated to take action either.

When Nrvnqsr attacked, Fang Li went to confront him without any prompting.

When Arcueid asked for help, Fang Li had no hesitation in choosing to help her.

This was enough to prove that Fang Li was not against hunting vampires.

"You're neither an executor of the Holy Church nor a mage of the Magecraft Association, so you shouldn't have any reason to hunt vampires, right?" Arcueid said.

Actually, her words were correct.

If he were an Executor of the Holy Church, then Fang Li's actions against Vampires would be entirely justified, as the Holy Church is primarily devoted to exterminating heretics.

If he were a Mage of the Magecraft Association, then Fang Li would also have ample reason to hunt vampires, perhaps to use their corpses, blood, or organs for research purposes, in keeping with the Magecraft Association's fundamental focus on Magecraft research.

But Fang Li was neither of those things, yet he didn't shy away from hunting vampires, indicating that he surely had his own motives.

He was just like Arcueid, someone with very personal motives.

Therefore, Arcueid sensed this fact almost instinctively.

She sensed that Fang Li had his own reasons for hunting Vampires.

Although, she didn't know what that reason was.

"Come to think of it, you're neither an Executor nor a Mage, so why do you possess such extraordinary combat abilities?"

Arcueid seemed to only now start caring about this issue as she questioned Fang Li.

"As for the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, one could argue they were gained by chance, but your superhuman combat prowess is definitely not something an ordinary person can have. Moreover, you can wield those terrifying eyes with ease, handling their power as if they were a part of you. You can't possibly be someone like Shiki, who has lived a normal life in the ordinary world, right?"

At this point, Arcueid grew more intrigued and she stood up from the bed and stared intently at Fang Li with her eyes full of curiosity.

"Could it be that you're somehow linked to some ancient Mystery? Like being part of a lineage that preserves an ancient artifact or perhaps the heir of a lost secret ritual? Or maybe you're an inheritor of some unknown Mystery research?"

The more she spoke, the more excited Arcueid became, her previous unhappiness completely forgotten, replaced by joy and excitement.

"Hey, tell me."

Saying this, Arcueid even leaned her whole body towards Fang Li.

That incredibly beautiful and enchanting face approached him without any guard, and at this point, any man's heart would likely start racing, right?

Unfortunately, Fang Li was unfazed as he extended his hand, pressed it against Arcueid's head, and pushed her face back, returning her to the bed.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not any of those people you imagined."

Fang Li ignored Arcueid's displeasure and spoke up.

"If I have to say there was anything special in my past, it would be nothing more than training in the art of killing."

This explanation clearly didn't satisfy Arcueid.

"If you only know how to kill, how could you have trained to such a level?" Arcueid argued. "Humans have limits. Unless they touch upon Mysteries, no matter how much they enhance themselves, they'll only become somewhat stronger, not truly powerful."

At least, in the eyes of those who dealt with Mysteries, ordinary people were only at that level.

Even Tohno Shiki, whom Arcueid considered a special case among ordinary people, was a descendant of the Nanaya Clan, one of the four great Demon Hunter families. Even if you don't count the Demon Hunter's innate impulses, he still had the potential to train his body to surpass human limits.

Ryougi Shiki was the same, coming from the Ryougi Family, another of the four great Demon Hunter families. Not only did she awaken to her origin, but she also had a direct connection to the Root.

Therefore, an ordinary person who doesn't touch upon any Mysteries would never become truly powerful.

Even when the Main God's Dimension selects its primary Divine Envoy, it chooses those with special power, not just anyone.

Fang Li appeared ordinary in every way, yet without a soul that could record even death, he would have perished in that car accident long ago.

However, even knowing this, Fang Li was still able to assert one thing with certainty.

"I'm really not lying to you."

Fang Li spread his hands and said with a slight pout:

"I really only know how to kill."

These casual words finally silenced Arcueid.

"Only knows how to kill?"

Arcueid lowered her head, whispering in a voice so faint that only she could hear it.

"It seems you and I are very much alike."

When she said this, Arcueid no longer had the innocent and whimsical demeanor she had before. There was only a sadness that no one else could perceive.

Unfortunately, Fang Li noticed it, yet chose to remain silent.

Perhaps it was indeed so.

If Fang Li only knew how to kill, then Arcueid only knew how to kill Vampires.

Because that was the very purpose the True Ancestors had given Arcueid when she was brought into this world.

Of course, Fang Li could certainly tell Arcueid that he and she were not the same.

He killed because he chose to, out of his own will. But Arcueid killed Vampires almost entirely because of others' wills.

There was only one Vampire Arcueid killed out of her own will.

That was the 'Serpent.'

Perhaps realizing that her thoughts had been entirely seen through, Arcueid lay back on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and stopped speaking.

Fang Li quietly watched this scene, then turned his head and looked out the window at the sky.

Dawn was breaking.
