The sage was determined to die.

According to their recollections, the four of them were walking normally in the mountain of books when their most talented leader suddenly went missing for a while. When he returned, he had changed a lot.

"He acted like he'd found something amazing," the passerby replied.

"Yes, he even kept it from us," said Passerby B.

However, they soon encountered a woman, a very beautiful woman.

As they recalled this, the three of them were clearly still shaken, their bodies trembling slightly. They inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, as if they had thought of something extremely terrifying.

"And then, she..."

Passerby C stammered, his eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought, his entire being radiating a pale, listless aura.

From their fragmented words, Ji Bai seemed to see the beautiful woman walk up to the unfortunate victim, first sizing her up, and then asking in a strange tone, "Tsk, you've already been marked."

Her actions were anything but slow; she confirmed almost instantly that the man was no longer of any use, and the next second she ended his life.

"It's so fast, it's incredibly fast."

Passerby A, still shaken, said to Ji Bai, "They just threw us away like trash, and did it so quickly."

"Fortunately, she's not interested in us," said Passerby B.

Ji Bai listened with a thoughtful expression. He knew almost immediately who the girl in their conversation was and even why they were doing this.

He waved his hand, as if he had just thought of something, and let the three people in front of him go.

"You can leave now." After saying this, Ji Bai suddenly added, "Don't say you've seen me before."

……

He also told us not to mention that we had seen him...

After the three left, their figures disappeared in a flash, and then they quickly and skillfully knelt in front of someone.

She was a very beautiful woman.

The woman stared at them expressionlessly. The three swallowed hard, slowly raised their hands, and said with sincere expressions, "Really, that's all we have..."

"oh."

The girl uttered this single word and slowly stood up from a corpse. She fiddled with her fingernails, where tiny fragments of stone remained between them.

She looked at them as if they were three dead men.

Just as the three were trembling with fear, the girl suddenly smiled, her expression turning warm again: "You can go now."

Upon hearing the unexpected answer, a flicker of surprise crossed the three faces, but they quickly realized something and asked hesitantly, "Can we really go?"

Seeing the girl nod, the three of them instinctively hugged each other and then retreated step by step, facing the girl.

Only after they had walked away did the girl show a look of disgust.

"What a pity, we've used up all our kill quotas."

She brushed the stone fragments from her hands and said softly, "Using such a precious spot to kill you is such a waste..."

As these words fell, many tiny cracks appeared on the girl's hands, but no blood flowed out. It was as if she had been torn open in the void, with flesh and blood being swallowed up as the cracks appeared.

The pain of her flesh being gnawed at gradually spread, but as the girl watched, she suddenly burst into laughter.

It's strange, she actually felt alive.
