Their commission was suspicious.

"This world is not peaceful, and you know that to some extent now. That bodyguard doesn't know much, but he understands some basic things, like this thing. It's a monster called a demon of the heart, which can be created in a very low probability due to someone's huge negative emotions," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing at the blond-haired man.

"Inner demons? That sounds really powerful," Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm, that does sound impressive. After all, inner demons have always been a major taboo for cultivators, but this thing is currently only at its lowest level."

"The so-called inner demon is one of the evil spirits that is generated by negative emotions and can devour negative emotions to strengthen itself. When a person is possessed by an inner demon, they will receive the blessing of negative energy at the beginning, their physical fitness will increase dramatically, and they will also have a strong ability to hide, making them extremely difficult to detect. Only when they are in a state of anger will their pupils be dyed completely black, leaving only a little red light."

"And once the inner demon is created, it will try to destroy the inner demon that created it."

"Wait a minute, what you're saying is a bit convoluted. Isn't he a demon in his heart? Why do you want to eliminate a demon in his heart?" Chen Luo interrupted the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Well, inner demons are often extremely vengeful, and they also represent the dark side of the host. Only by helping the host avenge the hatred in their heart can the inner demon completely control the host's behavior, and even parasitize another body after the host dies."

"And think again, who exactly caused him to develop inner demons?" The Herald of Knowledge glanced at Chen Luo meaningfully.

"Wait, you mean the inner demon is actually myself?" Chen Luo pointed to himself incredulously.

"No, to be precise, you are the inner demon of your own inner demon."

"..." Chen Luo suddenly didn't know what to say.

Chen Luo originally thought he was a good person.

"Once the inner demon appears, taking revenge on it becomes the primary task. After successfully taking revenge, the inner demon will embark on an unlimited growth mode, and may even grow into a powerful demon capable of threatening an S-rank talent holder," the Herrscher of Knowledge continued to explain.

"Hmm, so in other words, after he beat me up, he might break through the limitations and become a true inner demon, then go around slaughtering everyone, while I would be the one who stifled the future of a powerful demon?"

Hearing what the Lawgiver of Knowledge said, Chen Luo felt increasingly unlucky.

In this world, Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er are both S-rank talents, and their first enemy is a demon who could become an extremely troublesome powerhouse in the future, with a threat level of S-rank.

This is absolutely outrageous.

"No, you may have misunderstood something. Inner demons are not the kind of kind beings that only beat you up. According to the memories of that person, 90% of the targets of inner demons' revenge are those who die tragically." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.

"Huh? What about the remaining 10%?" Chen Luo looked at the blond-haired man in surprise.

Chen Luo couldn't even remember how badly he had offended this blond guy.

What did I do?

He bullied his classmate, pushing his head into the toilet. Chen Luo told that classmate to gag him with a mop soaked in feces, giving him a taste of his own medicine. That's perfectly normal.

Huang Mao incited his classmates to ostracize anyone who dared to resist his "tyranny," driving one student to the point of depression and even dropping out of school. Chen Luo wrote a letter of complaint and submitted it directly to the police station, resulting in a detention of up to 5 days and a fine of 500 yuan. In fact, Chen Luo felt that this was already very lenient with him.

Two days ago, the other party attempted to rob me in my home and intentionally harm me. I simply buried him in the yard to experience loneliness.

Why is this person so petty?

"The remaining 10%...it's worse than death..." The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at the blond-haired boy lying on the ground, still glaring fiercely at Chen Luo, with a complicated expression.

"And almost all inner demons will bring misfortune to family members," the Law Master added.

"..."

"What are you thinking about? If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can help you, like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, but even if you're willing, I won't agree." The Herrscher of Knowledge asked Chen Luo with some concern as he pondered.

Chen Luo had never seen blood before. Although he had killed assassins, Honkai Beasts, and bandits in the consciousness space, that was only in the consciousness space.

Shi Zhi Lu Zhe felt that as the older sister, it was necessary to correct her younger brother's wrong ideas.

After all, in the other person's memory, inner demons cannot be eliminated by any normal means. Even if they are eliminated by special means, new inner demons may emerge after a period of time if the host is not killed.

This is what they call "practice makes perfect".

"I was wondering, if we kill him now, will we be listed as criminal suspects? After all, don't underestimate the investigative methods in this world, especially since he followed me into the neighborhood..."

To the surprise of the knowledgeable law-teller, Chen Luo's line of thought was completely different from what he had imagined.

"What's there to worry about? At worst, we can just run to the Honkai world, right?" Seeing that Chen Luo wasn't being indecisive, the Herrscher of Knowledge was very pleased.

He did not betray the grueling training he had given the other party in the realm of consciousness.

The other party is just thinking about a lot of things.

"You idiot." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Lawyer of Knowledge.

Your parents aren't in this world, but my parents are.

Moreover, if you're living a good life in this world and suddenly have to leave your home and family, who can handle that?

"You dare to insult me? I... Fine, then tell me, what should we do? If you're so capable, come up with a better solution." The Herald of Knowledge said somewhat unconvinced.

You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots.

How could I, a dignified Lawyer of Consciousness, who controls consciousness, possibly be stupid?

I'm very smart!

Chapter 41 Chen Luo: That's how it's written in novels

"Xiao Shi, if I asked you to control his body to leave our neighborhood and return to his home, could you do it? Or, to put it another way, could you just get him a little further away from the neighborhood?" Chen Luo asked.

The most important issue now is that this guy didn't pay any attention to the surveillance cameras when he was following Chen Luo, so he must have been caught on camera following Chen Luo. If he dies or goes missing, Chen Luo will be the prime suspect.

As long as he can leave this neighborhood, Chen Luo has countless ways to make him disappear from this world.

After chopping him up, just throw him into your backpack so he'll never see the sun again.

Or drag it into the tavern and wait for Wendy to arrive so he can help dispose of the body in the wilderness.

If the police in this world are so capable, why don't they go to the other world and find the other person's corpse? If you can find it, I'll guarantee a lifelong gacha pull!

“No, I just tried it. It seems that because of the existence of the inner demon, the other party is immune to mental manipulation skills. Especially since I am still seriously injured, the other party may break free from my mental cage at any time.” The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head under Chen Luo’s expectant gaze.

"Wait, you're still recovering from your serious injuries?" Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge with surprise.

"What do you think? You really think that 'severely injured' in your mission description is just a prefix? I've only recovered about 30% of my strength, but thankfully, the spiritual energy in this world has a great healing effect on injuries. So I'll be almost fully recovered soon." The Herrscher of Knowledge gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

"Spiritual power? What's that?"

"According to the knowledge in that bodyguard's mind, spiritual power is a unique force in this world, just like the Honkai energy in our world; both are a type of magic. I don't know about other things, but at least in terms of healing injuries, spiritual power is much more effective than Honkai energy. So, have you come up with a solution yet? We can't just keep him tied up in the basement forever, can we?"

"Well... I do have a solution."

"any solution?"

"Since Yunxia gave me the amulet, do you think she might have some kind of tool to monitor whether the amulet is working?" Chen Luo said, throwing a string of amulets at the blond-haired man.

When the amulet touched the blond-haired man, the amulet, which had been unremarkable in Chen Luo's hand, suddenly lit up and looked quite pretty.

"Ah!!!" The moment the amulet lit up, the blond-haired man screamed in agony, and wisps of black energy rose from his body.

The blond-haired man's screams were so loud that if it weren't for the basement, someone would have heard them and called the police long ago.

"Crack..." At the same time as the blond-haired man screamed, Chen Luo also heard the talisman crack.

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Luo quickly took the amulet from Huang Mao and glanced at it with heartache.

"Fortunately, only two amulets were slightly cracked, and they can be recycled." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the details of the 24 amulets.

"This thing can be recycled?" the Herald of Knowledge couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, of course, but the buyback price is a bit of a rip-off. It's only half price, which is 5 raw stones per stone."

Chen Luo expressed strong protest, but the protest was to no avail.

"But does your method really work?"

"Why don't we try it and see if it works?" Chen Luo took out his phone.

If Chen Luo's guess is correct, he will receive a phone call in less than two minutes.

……

"Sigh, I wonder if Chen Luo will ever awaken his talent. I've heard that people who are about to awaken their talent but haven't actually awakened it are the kind of sweet treat that demons love most. Luckily, I was smart enough to give him a protective jade. But I hope he won't need it..."

Lying on her large bed, Yun Xia idly fiddled with a dragon-shaped jade pendant.

This dragon-shaped jade pendant is a matching item with the protective jade, serving as a form of remote monitoring.

If the dragon-shaped jade pendant lights up, it means that the other person's amulet has worked.

If the dragon-shaped jade pendant breaks, it means that all the protective jade has been used up, which means that the user is in danger.

The brightness of the jade pendant varies depending on the danger the wearer faces.

The fact that the jade pendant is now slightly glowing indicates that the other party is in danger, but it is not fatal.

Wait, a faint light?

Yunxia looked at the jade pendant that had lit up and sat up abruptly in bed.

"Number 2 just called to say the other party received the amulet, and now it's lit up?" Yun Xia was somewhat incredulous.

Although it was hard to believe, she immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number that was pinned to the top of her chat list.

At the same time, a magic wand about one meter long appeared in Yun Xia's hand. Yun Xia, who was originally wearing pajamas, was instantly wrapped in a cute pink outfit after a burst of light.

"Hey, A-Luo, are you alright?" Yun Xia asked hurriedly after the call was finally answered after a while.

……

"See?" After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo turned to look at the Herald of Knowledge.

"I told you, there's a 50% chance they have surveillance capabilities. After all, that's how it's written in novels."

“…Novels.” The Herald of Knowledge never expected that his millennia-old knowledge reserves would ultimately be defeated by novels.

"But how do you explain that you can beat him? Are you planning to reveal your talent? Or just a part of it?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

In fact, the Lawrence of Knowledge does not recommend that Chen Luo tell others about his talent, because in the Lawrence of Knowledge's view, there are no people in this world who can be trusted.

Oh, right, except for myself.

I was an accomplice to Chen Luo.

"I have to thank Wendy for this. The Eye of God can also be disguised as a wind-type ability." Chen Luo took out his wind-type Eye of God from his backpack.

Chen Luo's Eye of God can be used normally even when it's in his backpack, so it doesn't affect his ability to impersonate a wind-type ability user at all.

"And have you noticed something..." Chen Luo left it as a mystery.

"What is it?"

"So these two talents I've seen so far seem to have some connection to certain anime or game characters," Chen Luo said, taking out his bladeless sword.

"In that case, I should also play a cameo role, right?"

Chen Luo tossed it lightly, and the bladeless sword in his hand vanished instantly.

This wasn't because it was put into a backpack, but rather it's an inherent characteristic of the Bladeless Sword.

You can make it disappear when you don't need it, and make it reappear when you do.

Chen Luo didn't understand the principle behind it, but it seemed like all Genshin Impact characters knew this technique.

So here's the question: what do wind magic, one-handed sword, and the Eye of God equal?

Chapter 42 The Hymn of Humanity is the Hymn of Courage

"Big brother, it's been a long time." A boy of similar age to Chen Luo hugged Chen Luo tightly, looking quite excited.

"How many times have I told you not to call me big brother? I'm not your big brother. And why are you here?" Chen Luo didn't understand. Chen Luo was very confused.

Chen Luo met the wrong person at the wrong time. No, it can't be called a mistake, it's just unexpected.

"You didn't expect that, did you? Liu Wenxuan was even more anxious than I was when he heard you were attacked." Yun Xia stood to the side, looking at Chen Luo and Liu Wenxuan with a hint of jealousy.

Although the two embraced, the difference was that Liu Wenxuan, who looked gentle and weak, was quite enthusiastic, while Chen Luo, who was being held in his arms, was quite disgusted.

"Wenxuan, that's enough. If you don't let go, I'll stab you." To Chen Luo's disbelief, he was actually weaker than his opponent. He tried for a long time but couldn't push him away. Only when a sword suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's hand did his opponent reluctantly let go.

"Hey, big brother, don't be angry. I was just too excited." Liu Wenxuan scratched his head sheepishly.

"However, I never expected to see him under these circumstances." Liu Wenxuan glanced at the tightly trapped blond man with complicated eyes.

"So, why is he here?" Chen Luo hid next to Yun Xia and asked, pointing at Liu Wenxuan.

"Before I explain to you, A Luo, could you demonstrate your special ability? Or is the ability to conjure a sword out of thin air your ability? Spatial ability?" Yun Xia didn't answer Chen Luo beforehand, but asked a question first.

"I'm wondering if you two are members of some special organization, and that's why there's a rule that if you're not a person with special abilities, you can't talk about this kind of thing?" Chen Luo looked at Liu Wenxuan and Yun Xia with a strange expression.
