Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Before the two could raise their guns to fire, Ke Ling rammed forward, knocking them to the ground. He then unleashed his claws, piercing their chests and pinning them to the ground.

The two scavengers who were slaughtering Ke Ling stopped in their tracks in fright and stared blankly at Ke Ling, who was now covered in blood.

"Can he still be saved?"

Ke Ling pulled out his claws, stood up and went to the operating table. He looked at the people on the table and asked the two cleaners holding scalpels.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 27 A Villainous Cultivator Who Can't Live Like a Man-Eating Demon

"He can't be saved."

The cleaner shuddered and said, "They've already started demolishing it, how can we save it?"

"Oh.

Ke Ling nodded regretfully. He scanned the two poor people on the bed with his prosthetic eye and saw that they were barely breathing.

"Pfft!"

Without hesitation, Ke Ling thrust out a claw and pierced the throat of the cleaner in front of him.

[Ding! Experience +1.]

"goo"

The cleaner opened his mouth as if to say something, but it was clearly too late.

"Wait! There's still hope!"

Seeing this, another cleaner immediately shouted, "Who said it's hopeless? There's hope! Of course there's hope!"

""

Ke Ling was speechless. Was there any hope? Was it really that agile?

"Then hurry up and save them! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing the cleaner staring at him, Ke Ling complained, "He can't save people, but he can eat them."

The cleaner was startled and immediately lowered his head to start working, but there was no way to save this man. He was just trying to buy time.

After seeing out of the corner of his eye that Ke Ling had turned to look elsewhere, the cleaner immediately pulled a pistol out of his clothes.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and Ke Ling turned around to see the cleaner lying on the ground, his face filled with despair.

"Hurry up and thank me for arriving in time and saving your life."

At the basement entrance, Jack Wells blew on the muzzle of his gun and raised an eyebrow.

""

Seeing the Cleaner shot in the head and dead beyond any doubt, Ke Ling gritted his teeth.

"Jack, thank you so much."

Ke Ling squeezed out this thank you through gritted teeth, sounding extremely reluctant.

He let the scavenger run wild, hoping to turn 1 experience point into 5, but now, he's lost even that 1 point.

"You're welcome, that's right."

Jack Wells chuckled, but he felt the gratitude was a little odd, a little creepy.

However, he quickly found an explanation: it might be due to the environment, since the basement really wasn't a place for humans to stay.

On the surrounding shelves were bottles containing various human organs.

In one corner, there were several corpses piled up, dismembered beyond recognition; these bastards had captured quite a few people.

"These two are doomed, let's give them a quick death."

V glanced at the operating table, made her judgment, and her expression showed some reluctance, but mostly calmness.

There's nothing they can do; people in their line of work see this kind of thing far too often, they're practically numb to it.

"Pfft."

Ke Ling swung his claws and freed the two poor souls.

"I've already avenged you."

With a soft sigh, Ke Ling noted down the two men's identities and names, intending to give them to the priest later to see if they could be notified of their families.

For the first time, Ke Ling felt that the two extra experience points didn't seem so appealing anymore. At this point, it would be better not to add them at all. Why would she care about those two experience points?

"It's really bad."

Ke Ling glanced at the experience section: "Experience: 138 experience points are needed to reach Lv3, which is equivalent to 6 armed street sweepers."

The task ahead is arduous and the road is long. After glancing at Jack Wells and V, Ke Ling began to consider whether he should team up with these two again. Their ability to steal kills is too strong!

"There are still two survivors here! They're lucky."

While Ke Ling was struggling with her decision, V had already made a new discovery: in the pool in another room, there were two people frozen in place.

"These two should still be salvageable."

Jack Wells rushed over and helped V lift the person out of the bathtub filled with ice.

"Ke Ling? What are you doing? Come and help!"

Jack Wells picked one up, then looked at Ke Ling with a puzzled expression, wondering what he was daydreaming about.

"I'm coming."

Ke Ling seemed to wake from a dream. He responded and ran over to take the other one from V.

"It's okay, I can."

V was somewhat stubborn and didn't want Ke Ling's help, but with a gunshot wound to one hand, it was indeed difficult for her.

"I'll do it."

Ke Ling didn't waste any words with her and directly picked up the poor person who was a little stiff from the cold.

"You go first to rescue people. I'll stay here to search for any ill-gotten gains, and then we'll meet up with the priest."

V stopped trying to be tough, but she didn't plan to leave. She intended to stay and loot the place, otherwise, wouldn't her trip have been in vain?

"Take care of your injury, don't delay too long."

Ke Ling didn't say much, only offering a reminder. Having already experienced the embarrassment of being penniless, he could understand V's actions.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

V smiled and gave Ke Ling an OK sign before starting to loot. His methods showed he had done a lot of work.

“Let’s go. I’ve already contacted the priest, and he will arrange for treatment.”

Jack Wells, carrying another pitiful man, called out to Ke Ling as they walked. He sensed that Ke Ling seemed a bit out of sorts and not as energetic as before.

After this joint operation, he finally understood why Ke Ling was covered in blood yesterday. With that kind of fighting style, wouldn't he always end up covered in blood?

Ke Ling followed Jack Wells in silence. He was indeed in low spirits because he suddenly realized something.

He was either influenced by the [Limit System] or by the "ghost transformation." In any case, his attitude towards human life was now too indifferent.

Although V and Jack Wells were somewhat numb, they wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand if they encountered someone who could still be saved, given the circumstances.

And what about Ke Ling herself?

Even though they could already smell that someone was still alive in the basement, and that they were probably not in good condition.

He didn't think about rushing to check on those people or see if they could be saved.

He was thinking about whether he could turn 1 experience point into 5 points, so that he could gain 4 points for free.

He was thinking that even these two hopeless people could provide him with two experience points, so he had to rush to finish them off.

He was considering whether to go solo, because teaming up with Jack Wells and V often resulted in him getting kills stolen.

He might even be thinking that if the remaining people are also beyond saving, they can provide him with experience points.

Before long, human lives had begun to be seen as something that could be exchanged for experience points.

His current attitude towards human life is like playing a hack-and-slash game where you level up by defeating monsters; the double buff of becoming stronger and satisfying hunger is subtly influencing his mindset.

Ke Ling was glad that, thanks to Jack Wells and V, he realized this so early on. It seems that no matter where he goes in the future, it's best not to be alone with others for too long.

Because when he's with normal people, he can at least notice that something is wrong with him and correct his mistakes in time.

If he continues to walk alone, he will likely go further and further down a path of obsession, to the point that even if he eventually realizes his mistake, it will be too late to turn back.

Ke Ling really didn't want to become a brainless villainous cultivator in some novels who would kill entire families and exterminate entire clans at the drop of a hat, treating human life as worthless and using cannibalism to improve his cultivation.

Think about it carefully, is there really a big difference between gaining experience and becoming stronger by indiscriminately killing people and a demon becoming stronger by eating people?

One must have a basic bottom line in life and work. He has now adhered to the bottom line of not eating people, and what he needs to adhere to next is killing those who deserve to be killed.

He is not a saint, he will not try to save all those who suffer, nor is he great enough to sacrifice himself to save others, but he will try his best to save those who can be saved, provided that his personal safety is not affected.

"This is the bottom line, it's already low enough."

Ke Ling muttered to herself.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 28 Another Big Job

After placing the two unfortunate people into the car, Ke Ling sat in the driver's seat and launched the vehicle again.

Jack Wells sat obediently in the passenger seat. He looked at Ke Ling and noticed that the "alien's" condition seemed to have improved somewhat.

"This kind of thing is very common. In Night City, someone might be getting their kidneys cut every moment."

Seeing that Ke Ling wasn't going to speak, Jack Wells spoke up first. He assumed that Ke Ling was in a bad mood because she hadn't seen much of this kind of thing outside Night City.
