"Huh?"

At that moment, both Tohno Shiki and Arcueid uttered sounds of astonishment.

The sharp knife stopped only two centimeters away from Arcueid's neck.

The razor-sharp claws also stopped above Tohno Shiki's head.

If there had been another 0.01 seconds, the deadly killing moves of both sides would have landed on each other's bodies.

The knife would have cut off the white-haired girl's head.

The claws would have shredded the head of the rampaging Murdering Demon.

In another 0.01 seconds, Tohno Shiki and Arcueid would have died together in mutual destruction.

And it was in that 0.01-second gap that a third party suddenly intervened.

He grabbed both of their wrists.

"To think that you would choose to turn against each other at a time like this, you guys are really something."

Fang Li stood between Tohno Shiki and Arcueid, grabbing both of their wrists. His voice, filled with a chilling calmness, was surprisingly calm as he spoke.

"Both of you, calm down right now."

As he finished speaking, Fang Li's grip on their wrists suddenly tightened.

Then, treating the Murdering Demon and the Vampire with equal disregard, he pulled them both backward and threw them directly behind him.

Unable to react, Tohno Shiki and Arcueid were propelled by an irresistible force and were sent flying by the howling wind like cannonballs, and crashed into a pile of stones in an open corner.

"Boom...!"

With a loud crash, both Tohno Shiki and Arcueid crashed into the pile of stones, causing it to completely collapse. The sound of the stones "cracking and rattling" echoed as the debris buried them.

Dust rose and filled the air.

When the dust settled and the stones stopped crumbling, Tohno Shiki and Arcueid were half buried under the rubble, lying in the middle of the pile of stones.

"Ugh..."

"Ah..."

Sounds of discomfort came from the mouths of the two beings lying in the rubble.

Only then did Fang Li turn around, pick up his steps, and slowly walk towards them.

"How do you feel?" Fang Li spoke with a half-smile on his face. "Have you calmed down?"

This one sentence elicited only confused looks and angry glances from his audience.

The former was Tohno Shiki's reaction.

"I... I just..."

As if waking from a nightmare, Tohno Shiki opened his eyes wide while sweat covered his face.

The latter was Arcueid's reaction.

"What are you doing?" Arcueid glared at Fang Li and said loudly, "It was Shiki who tried to kill me first!"

"So you decided to kill him in return?" Fang Li crouched down and knocked Arcueid's forehead as he spoke, "Try to understand the situation, you stubborn vampire."

"What the hell!" Arcueid shouted in pain as she quickly defended herself, shouting, "Fang Li is the real idiot! The big idiot!"

The two of them continued to argue like this.

As a result, only Tohno Shiki sat there, looking at his hands in disbelief, his face filled with confusion.

"Did I become like that again?"

The so-called **Demon Hunter's Impulse** is only an impulse.

Although it affects the user's thoughts and consciousness, it does not affect his memory.

Therefore, Tohno Shiki will not forget what he just did.

It was just like the last time when Tohno Shiki tried to kill Arcueid.

With those eyes that can **look straight into death**.

With the sharp knife in his hand.

"Why did I become like this?"

Tohno Shiki's voice had a noticeable tremor.

"Could it be that these eyes have some side effects?"

For Tohno Shiki, who has completely forgotten all memories of the **Nanaya Clan**, it's of course impossible to understand the changes within himself.

And it wasn't just Tohno Shiki who couldn't understand - Arcueid was perplexed as well.

"...Why does it feel like you have turned into that other Shiki again?" Arcueid said, frowning as she looked at Tohno Shiki with a suspicious look on her face. "I say, could it be that you have a split personality or a dual personality problem?"

"Split personality and dual personality?" Tohno Shiki was stunned and hesitated.

However, Tohno Shiki wanted to answer that he did not have such symptoms and that he had never had them.

But if he didn't, then why did he suddenly have such a strong murderous impulse both last time and this time, and why did he act against Arcueid as if it were a matter of course?

"I..."

Tohno Shiki was speechless, unable to say anything, and could only cast a pleading glance at Fang Li.

Seeing the pleading look in Tohno Shiki's eyes, Fang Li said only one thing.

"Don't ask me. I'm not going to say anything."

Tohno Shiki understood that sentence.

It wasn't "do not know," but rather "will not say."

In other words, Fang Li knew the reason but didn't want to reveal it.

"After all, my current employer definitely wouldn't want me to spill the beans, right?"

That was Fang Li's reason.

A reason that Tohno Shiki could not accept.

But before Tohno Shiki could speak, Fang Li silenced him with one sentence.

"I've said it before: this is an inhuman world. If you intend to enter it, you must be mentally prepared. If you're not prepared, it's best to return to the world of ordinary people."

"In that case, you won't have to worry about such incidents happening again."

"At least, I can guarantee that the targets that cause you to have such a murderous impulse are absolutely not human."

"So you don't have to worry about killing people."

"You will only kill monsters."

These words left Tohno Shiki's mouth agape, and in the end, he chose silence.

Only Arcueid spoke, looking puzzled.

"This is really hard to understand. Even though I don't understand it, it seems very complicated. Humans are indeed troublesome creatures."

Despite saying this, Arcueid did not disagree with Fang Li's statement.

Even if she was in desperate need of help, if Tohno Shiki decided to back out, Arcueid would have nothing to say.

After all, Arcueid could also see.

There is a switch in Tohno Shiki's body.

When the switch is flipped, he becomes a pure **Murdering Demon**.

And when the switch isn't flipped, he's just an ordinary human.

The former is a different matter.

As for the latter, Arcueid had no need to ask him for help.

That's just the way it is.

"On the other hand, he..."

Arcueid turned her gaze to Fang Li, who was standing there with an expression of indifference on his face.

"In terms of being special and unusual, he's definitely the more terrifying one, right?"

A pair of **Mystic Eyes of Death Perception** with no restrictions.

Combat power sufficient to rival the **Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors**.

A calm mind.

An extraordinary adaptability.

Therefore, Arcueid thought.

"Even if it's just him, it would be enough to make up for the power I've lost."

Is that why Arcueid didn't say anything about Tohno Shiki's situation?
