Chapter 141: Mask

The chilling wind of night sent shivers down Shen Yu's spine even though he was wearing a trench coat. But the wind wasn't the reason for that.

He stayed silent for a while, just looking at the blue moon. After that, he asked this system in his mind.

'Are you going to kill me?'

[I would have under certain conditions but fortunately, you're too good, Master. Now, even if I want, I can't kill you. I also can't just do whatever I want, Master. Everything should have order and chaos.]

'Phew! That's a relief. So, I'm guessing you can't tell me these conditions and all?'

[If you order me, then I will but I hope you give me some time, Master. I'm finally opening up to a Host so there are certain things I need to make sure of before I disclose the information.]

Shen Yu could sense the calmness in system's voice but he felt there was more to its words than it was letting it show. But he didn't pester more.

'I trust you. Just tell me whenever you're ready.'

[Thanks for trusting me, Master. I'll tell you whatever I can but there are certain things I can't say even if I want, so forgive me not disclosing those.]

'Alright. But suppose I ordered you to tell me those forbidden information, then what would happen?'

[Your existence would be erased and I'll be destroyed.]

Hearing that, Shen Yu shivered slightly and then said.

'Well, that's scary.'

Suddenly, the background of Shen Yu turned silent so he thought.

'We will take later.'

[As you command, Master.]

"I didn't."

Song Junwan clicked her tongue, not wanting to drag the matter as they had things to do. But she swore she would settle this. She exchanged glances with Ning Xi and both understood.

"Anyways, so I've decided to first clear the bases where they train the orphans to become an assassin."

Shen Yu's eyes turned cold as he stated, his voice turning colder with every word he spoke.

"Unfortunately, we can't save them as most of their mind and souls are broken by the torturous training an assassin have to go through. After thinking it through, I've decided to give them a quick death."

He had asked the system if he could restore their mind so that they could live a normal life again. However, the results were disappointing. Their mind had broken after going through so much physical and mental torture that if he restored their mind, it would just make things worse for them as they would remember everything they went through which was the reason for their mind break.

The only solution was if he erased their memories of their time in the organisation but that would mean erasing their whole personality as they had been in the organisation from small age.

That was why Shen Yu decided to give them a silent and peaceful death which would put an end to their sufferings. After all, even after being mind broken, their souls were still suffering from past.

Shen Yu didn't believe himself as a God, even though he was practically being one by doing everything. However, he became selfish and decided to do what he wanted. And that was to give salvation to the poor souls.

He would also ask the system to see to their reincarnation. He wanted them to have a good next life.

Although Shen Yu didn't speak much, the ladies understood the gravity of the situation. They weren't naive so they knew what made the Assassins.

Ying Yue clenched her fists, as she closed her eyes for a moment. Then she opened them again, her eyes showing no instability.

Shen Yu put his hand in his trench coat's pocket and took out four dark wooden mask which he gave to his wives.

The wooden mask was a simple one. It depicted the face of a demon like being who had three horns on the top. Two growing on the sides while one protruding from the middle.

The mask covered the whole face except the eyes which turned bone chilling red once they wore it. It was as if the personification of evil had descended upon the mortal realm.

The four ladies were confused at first but still wore the wooden mask which fit their face perfectly and was comfortable. They didn't even feel like they were wearing anything at all.

However, then it changed as a vast ancient aura surrounded the four of them and entered the masks, giving them the boost of ancient powers.
