My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 133, page 132: A new rare skill – Sin Buster!

"Welcome home, Alexandra."

The goddess Astraea's gentle voice, like warm sunshine, dispelled the last vestiges of twilight's weariness.

She seemed to have been waiting in the entryway for a long time, her hands clasped together in front of her lower abdomen, her expression loving as if she were a mother welcoming her wandering son home.

"How was your day? You must be tired. Would you like to take a shower first, or have dinner first?"

"Or perhaps—"

Before she could finish speaking, her gaze passed over Alexandra's shoulder and landed on the silent figure following her, and she let out a soft sound.

"Seriously, Goddess, are you teasing me?"

As Alexie bent down to take off her dusty boots, she grumbled, "Knowing he's so strong, how could I possibly get tired? I almost couldn't keep up with his pace."

She looked up and only then noticed the meaningful expression on the goddess's face. She belatedly waved her hand and explained:

"Ah! He's here to update his stats! He's been fighting all day and is exhausted."

"Don't worry, he's just here to update his things, he won't be staying here."

Although the righteous faction desperately needs a hero, allowing a male member to live in the Star Garden, which is full of young girls, will inevitably attract unnecessary criticism.

Before Gu Yuan truly becomes a "hero" recognized by the world, this matter must be handled with caution.

...

The goddess Astraea gently shook her head, a warm smile playing on her lips: "Do I look like the kind of person who cares about worldly opinions?"

"Is the urgent update of ability values ​​a sign that you've eliminated many members of the dark faction today?"

"Of course!"

Mentioning the day's achievements, Alexie immediately puffed out her chest, her emerald eyes filled with excitement and amazement, "He single-handedly quelled almost all the unrest in the entire North District!"

"My goddess, didn't you see? Even a group of four officers couldn't withstand a single move from him!"

"I bet the whole underworld is buzzing with rumors right now that a 'God of Slaughter' has emerged in the North District!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Astraea slightly stepped aside to make way for the living room, a perfectly timed look of surprise flashing in her eyes, but more so a knowing "I knew it" kind of understanding.

Then, she turned around, her skirt swirling gently:

"In that case, let's not delay, come with me."

She walked towards the stairs, and Gu Yuan followed.

Just then, a thud—

There was a knock on the door that had just been closed.

Alexie turned around and opened the door in confusion, only to be met with Shakti Farma's handsome and upright face.

She was holding several sealed files in her arms, and a small paper bag tucked under her arm, emanating the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked potato balls.

"Good evening, Alyssa. I have some documents concerning the security of the North District that I need to have the Goddess Astraea review." Shakti wore a businesslike smile, but before he could finish speaking, his gaze immediately caught Gu Yuan's back as he stepped onto the stairs, and his voice abruptly stopped.

He's actually here?! He's already settled in?!

Her mind went blank for a moment, and all the words she had prepared to subtly inquire about Gu Yuan's background stuck in her throat.

Stuck at the doorway, unsure whether to go in or back out, the atmosphere became subtly awkward.

In the end, it was Alexandra who reacted first, grabbing her wrist and warmly pulling her into the room:

"Commander Shakti? You've come at the perfect time! Come in, come in!"

As she spoke, she secretly gestured to Gu Yuan with a "Don't worry, leave it to me" gesture, and then half-pushed, half-invited the still somewhat resentful Xia Ke towards the sofa in the living room.

Gu Yuan glanced thoughtfully at the two girls, then, without further delay, followed Astrea up to the second floor.

Bang! The living room downstairs temporarily returned to silence.

"So, he—he really is a newly recruited member of your Astrea Familia?"

Shakti pulled a steaming hot potato ball from the paper bag, took a bite instinctively, and exclaimed in disbelief, "That's ridiculously strong! That power level is at least V5, right?"

"Where did you find this monster? Orario has never heard of it before."

Although the power of that sudden warning at noon made her feel that it was even at the level of level 6, level 6 adventurers were extremely rare in this city.

The sudden appearance of an unnamed Iv6 is beyond the scope of "envy" and is enough to shock and unsettle any clan leader.

"Haha, I guess so—" Alexie scratched the back of her head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the term "monster."

She began to carefully craft the origins of Gu Yuan, following the account agreed upon with the goddess and the guild.

The two chatted casually, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened as they talked.

As the last rays of the orange-red sunset completely disappeared from the living room floor, the magic stone lamp on the ceiling automatically turned on, emitting a soft white light.

"I'm so tired."

"Finally back—my legs don't even feel like my own anymore."

The sound of crisp, noisy footsteps and the tired complaints of young girls came from the entrance hall.

The other members of the Astrea Familia finished their day's missions and training and returned home one after another.

"Where is the goddess?"

The little girl "Lyra" slumped into the soft sofa. Not seeing the figure that always brought them warmth and comfort, she suddenly felt something was missing and listlessly lost her energy. "He's upstairs, updating Mr. Gu Yuan's stats."

"He's still here?" Leila's brows furrowed immediately, her tone clearly displeased. "I remember he was just a nominal member, wasn't he? Does he intend to stay overnight?"

"Lyra!"

Alexie's tone became slightly more serious, "A nominal member is still a member. Today, he practically wiped out all the dark forces in the North District!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Leila's small face, but she quickly gave a soft hum and turned her head away.

"So what? Even 'Hero' Finn can do that, right? This can't be—"

Just as Lyra was about to argue something—

oops.

The door to the second-floor room was pushed open.

All conversations and thoughts ceased instantly as everyone's attention was drawn to the goddess Astraea, who stepped forward first.

Her expression was somewhat complicated, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were immersed in some indescribable thought.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuan's figure appeared behind her.

Instead of taking the stairs, he braced himself against the railing with one hand and nimbly leaped directly from the second-floor platform.

Once he had stood still, his deep gaze swept over every girl present, finally settling on Alexie.

"Oh, they're all here. That's perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for them."

"Alicie, as the goddess wishes, you will still be with me on tomorrow's mission."

Leila immediately glared at him, her brows furrowed.

Is the guild leader someone who can be bossed around by outsiders? Why does that tone sound like he's ordering his deputy? What exactly did the goddess promise him?

Alexandra was not much surprised by this.

After a day of working together, she discovered that her quickness and meticulousness complemented his perfectly.

Having oneself as his partner and "guide" is indeed the most efficient combination.

However, she was more concerned with another crucial question: "Have your stats been updated yet?"

Alexandra asked tentatively, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, "How is it? Did you—level up to Iv2?"

"??"

Upon hearing this, not only Leila, but even Liu, who had been silent all along, subconsciously raised his head, his azure eyes filled with shock.

One day? Reach level 2?

How is this possible?!

Gu Yuan looked at the incredulous expressions on their faces, a meaningful smile playing on his lips:

"What do you think? Of course—."

He recalled the ability values ​​he had seen in the room, and the smile in his eyes softened slightly. "They're gone."

Upon hearing this, Alexie subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief—that made more sense.

But then she realized something was wrong, because Gu Yuan's face showed no sign of disappointment, but rather a calmness as if he had everything under control.

"but"

Sure enough, things took a turn for the better.

Gu Yuan took out the attribute paper and handed it to Alyssie.

The section about magic on the paper seemed to have been deliberately crossed out.

"This is the Goddess's instruction, and it is entrusted to you alone for review."

"From today onwards, we are officially partners. I hope you are mentally prepared—my killing spree will not stop."

Alexie was taken aback by the decisiveness and coldness in his words, and accepted the gift in confusion.

She unfolded the paper, her gaze quickly moving downwards until it finally settled on the [Skills] section.

At that moment, his pupils constricted sharply.

"!"

This is a rare skill that has never been seen before.

Not only righteous, but also evil.

Crime Buster

• Against evil gods/evil faction units, physical and magical resistance is increased during combat. • Against evil gods/evil faction units, after killing them, there is a chance to plunder a portion of their stats, depending on the levels of both sides.

plunder?

A wave of shock washed over her, and her fingertips trembled slightly uncontrollably. Her gaze fell upon a tiny line of runes at the very bottom of the skill list, which seemed like a warning:

"Those who cleanse their sins with blood must always remember that the evil they have committed may also become a light for others."

Unable to suppress her emotions any longer, Alexie suddenly looked up, her lips parted, and stared intently at Gu Yuan.

But in the end, with a thousand words stuck in her throat, she realized that—

Nothing to say.
