Their commission was suspicious.

"Huh? Another tiring job? Erasing memories is really tiring." The Herrscher of Knowledge, who suddenly appeared next to Chen Luo, looked at Chen Luo with dissatisfaction.

To be honest, erasing one person from another's memory is quite troublesome.

If the Herrscher of Knowledge wanted to make Estelle temporarily forget Serena, it would be quite simple. However, if they wanted to address the root cause, it would be more complicated. Chen Luo deliberately brought himself out, which clearly indicated that he wanted to completely seal or even erase all of her memories.

"I didn't ask you to erase all of her memories or anything like that. Just change the ending for her, say that Serena died from a cold due to her poor health," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

"She's just frail and sickly?" The Herrscher of Knowledge pointed at Serena, somewhat puzzled.

An eight- or nine-year-old girl who can kick an adult two meters away with one kick—can that be called frail and sickly?

"Just give her a perfect ending. Then let Estelle accept this ending calmly." Chen Luo said, turning his gaze to Serena.

【Saving Serena】: Help Estelle travel back 10 years to save her best friend Serena from the tragedy of her parents being killed by bandits, change her fate of becoming a murderer, and help Estelle find peace.

Rewards: 1000 Primogems + High-Level Random Reward + Time Reversal Magic

Difficulty: Four stars

[Kill the Serial Killer]: Kill Serena, kill this heinous serial killer who will murder dozens of people in the future, kill this "best friend" who fooled Estelle.

Rewards: 400 Primogems + High-level Random Rewards + Magical Knowledge Learned by Estelle

Difficulty: 3 stars

These are the two missions Chen Luo accepted from Estelle.

The former is a four-star mission, and the latter is a three-star mission. Although the latter has some additional spells besides time recovery spells, normally, if Chen Luo had to choose, he would still choose the former.

After all, if you want to learn magic, you can just go to Estelle's study and touch all the magic books one by one, right?

And to be honest, Chen Luo still has a chance to complete a four-star mission.

but……

Forget it, forget it, it's just 600 raw stones, I'm not going to make that much.

Damn it, if my bar does well, I can make 600 raw stones in one night.

At worst, Chen Luo can just consider it a day off.

Chen Luo was unwilling to do such a disgusting task against his will.

This task is almost 100 times more disgusting than the one where you search for cultural relics for a certain Bao'er sister, and even though you know the other party is a scammer from a treasure-hunting gang, you still have to hand over the relics to them for the sake of the raw stones.

Damn it! This is garbage! I wouldn't even take it if I were a dog!

Oh no, I've already accepted it.

Even a dog couldn't finish it!

"If you really replace their personality, or turn them into a puppet, it's no different from killing them. What's the point of finding solace in false satisfaction?" Chen Luo thought to himself as he looked at Estelle and then at Serena.

Although Chen Luo usually loves raw stones, he does have other pursuits besides raw stones.

At least Chen Luo wasn't willing to make himself miserable for the rest of his life for 600 raw stones.

Hmm, 6000 Primogems is about right, I can consider it...

In Chen Luo's view, that four-star commission was just stirring up trouble.

Of course, it's not impossible to actually complete that four-star request, as long as Estelle adjusts the time travel a bit more, to 15 years ago.

Chen Luo's teleportation anchor point can anchor not only in space, but also in time.

If Chen Luo sets up a teleportation anchor point here now, and then travels back 10 years to this teleportation anchor point through the bar, it would be equivalent to traveling back 10 years without any cost.

The problem can be solved by having Estelle advance the time of the time-rewinding spell by 5 years.

Chen Luo can quickly accumulate magic power for Estelle through the Eye of the Elements by transforming the Honkai Crystals.

When Chen Luo arrived, he roughly estimated the amount of magic power released by the Rewind Magic.

It only takes about 200 more Honkai Crystals to reach the point where you can travel another 5 years.

Then Serena can be completely saved.

The problem is... after Estelle learns the truth, what makes her truly capable of saving Serena?

Chen Luo had no idea what kind of willpower Estelle had that drove her to keep drawing her own blood until she couldn't draw any more, in order to accumulate magic power.

But the fact that the other party was able to upgrade a quest involving killing ordinary people to a three-star mission and offer a high-level random reward shows that their anger should not be underestimated.

Let Estelle, who knows the truth, truly save Serena!

Anyone who thinks like that must be out of their mind.

"Chen Luo..." Seeing Estelle unconscious and a strange woman appear beside her, Elena quickly walked over.

“Oh, don’t worry, this is my… family. After all, you should know that it’s probably not a good thing for Estelle to continue to have such cruel memories. So I asked her to sort out Estelle’s memories.” Chen Luo didn’t intend to ask Elaina’s opinion; he was just informing her.

Let me also introduce the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

After speaking, Chen Luo looked at Serena, who had remained silent.

After being completely immobilized, Serena did not panic or become hysterical; instead, she strangely fell into a silence.

After noticing Chen Luo looking over, Serena gave a sweet smile and then spoke.

"Hey, big brother, Estelle just said that you're a traveler who grants wishes, right? So... can you grant my wish? If you're willing to grant my wish, then you can have anything you want."

“Theoretically speaking, we accept all comers,” Chen Luo said after a pause.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Murder to silence witnesses]: Kill all the eyewitnesses.

Rewards: 800 Primogems + Random Rewards + Serena

Pfft, cough cough!

Where's the affinity reward after 【Serena】? Is there something wrong with this talent panel? Show it to me!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Serena has really mastered the talent panel.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party has no other choice at the moment.

Although the opponent is weak, their obsession is very strong.

Is he really a serial killer? The rewards for his commissions are just too outrageous.

However, to be fair, if you ignore the blood on her lips, she is indeed quite adorable; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fool Estelle so completely.

"!!!" Seeing Chen Luo fall silent, and Serena seemingly laughing even more happily, Irena felt a little uneasy.

Hey, hey, hey, could it be true that Chen Luo once said he could grant anyone's wish?

"Sorry, I refuse." Although the reward was tempting, Chen Luo declined.

Although the reward is very tempting...

Foolish. If Chen Luo really wanted the other person, he could just turn them into a puppet. Wouldn't the other person still belong to Chen Luo then?

Although anyone could entrust Chen Luo with a task, Chen Luo is not someone who lacks his own thinking.

Who says I have to accept a commission just because you post it?

"Phew..." Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, that was a bit scary.

"Huh? You won't grant my wish? Is it because I'm a murderer? Oh dear, I actually quite like you, big brother. I felt an inexplicable fondness for you the moment we met. Big brother, actually... I didn't want to kill either, but killing is just so much fun, hahaha!"

One second they were pretending to be pitiful, the next they were laughing out loud. Maybe they thought they were doomed, so they let loose.

Even Serena couldn't imagine how she could possibly escape now.

But... what does it matter?

"Let's get ready to leave, it's almost time." Chen Luo looked at the towering clock tower that could still be seen from this angle.

The clock tower was three minutes shy of 5 o'clock.

"Then, what about Serena?" Elena asked hurriedly after hearing Chen Luo's words.

"Senior Elena, I'll ask you one more time, have you ever killed anyone?" Chen Luo asked Elena.

"N-nothing, what are you planning to do?"

“Elena, there’s no time left. There are only three minutes left. It’s too late to send her to prison, so… we’ll have to settle this between the two of us,” Chen Luo said with a sigh.

Elena's expression showed that she had obviously guessed what Chen Luo was talking about, but she was unwilling to think about it.

“Just as I said when I first met her, she’s beyond saving.” Chen Luo gave Serena a deep look.

In Chen Luo's eyes, Serena's fate was showing signs of gradually splitting apart.

One fate line, bright red, symbolizes the person's destiny to become a murderer. The other fate line is broken, representing the person's death.

Although there are many possibilities for a broken fate line, the only explanation now is death.

This means that if the opponent isn't killed here, they will eventually become a serial killer, and that fate is unchangeable.

Because the opponent was too weak, and Chen Luo had been in contact with him for some time, he could see the opponent's fate somewhat clearly. However, he couldn't tell how many people the opponent would kill this time as a serial killer.

"Alright, let's go." Chen Luo stood in front of Serena for two minutes without making a move, and even untied all the threads binding her before calling out to Elena.

"Huh?" Elena was taken aback.

Although Elena didn't really want to see Chen Luo kill someone with his own hands, Chen Luo letting the other person go was truly baffling.

Serena was equally bewildered, but looking at the blood-dripping blade in her hand, and then at Chen Luo who had his back to her, she smiled sweetly and charged at him with her knife.

"Splat!" But after taking only two steps, Serena accidentally stepped on her mother's hand, which lay dead beside her, and slipped.

"Ugh?"

This was the last question Serena asked.

Due to the sudden fall, Serena's knife swung around, and she ended up lying on top of the upright blade.

"Pfft."

The knife pierced Serena's heart.

Serena doesn't have any of those cheesy plot points about her heart being on the right side; after her heart is pierced by a knife, Serena's life force grows weaker and weaker.

Serena's unclosed eyes signify that, in the end, she could never understand why she died by her own hand.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Mission accomplished means the target is definitely dead.

If Wendy hadn't died, Chen Luo would have turned her upside down into a cocktail.

Because Chen Luo blocked her view, Elena did not see how the other person died.

"Pfft, cough cough." Just then, Chen Luo spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

"Chen Luo, what's wrong?" Elena asked with concern.

Even the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was processing Estelle's memories, couldn't help but look at Chen Luo with concern.

"N-nothing, it's just fate's backlash," Chen Luo said weakly, waving his hand.

Chen Luo wasn't some chosen one; how could he let someone with ill intentions towards him simply kill him? Chen Luo merely severed the other person's already impending doom.

Although Chen Luo could have countless ways to kill his opponent, well... he just couldn't resist the urge to do it.

But this is not Chen Luo's fault. After all, who can refuse an opportunity to test their destiny abilities?

The result is that even changing the fate of a murderer without magic comes at a price.

Well, okay, it's mainly because the difference between changing and cutting off is too great.

After this experiment, Chen Luo will definitely not try to defeat opponents of similar strength by severing the fate lines of others.

People will probably die, right?

"Clang! Clang!" The clock tower chimed, and Chen Luo and his group disappeared from the spot.
