Chapter 16 Devil's Spouse (1)

Name:Origin Lust Sword System Author:
When Rita saw the middle-aged man, her expression turned somewhat frosty.

The middle-aged man frowned as he looked at Cyrus, whose face and hair were covered. He looked suspicious, no matter how you looked at him.

But since Rita was with him and it was still quite an early hour, and they were coming out of the servant quarters where Rita usually stayed since it was more convenient than coming back early morning like this middle-aged man from area-9.

However, she should be alone in her private quarters, but she wasn't, so he took it for something completely different meaning.

"Who is he?" He sternly questioned with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Rita was naturally a budding rose who everyone wanted to pluck, but she was too aloof and was not easy to handle like helpless girls. This man was also one of those who eyed her.

But now that she appeared with a random man at this hour and that man just happened to be hiding his face, how could he not think that Rita was having a secret affair while everyone thought she was still a maiden?

Rita was about to reply when Cyrus suddenly moved, shocking both her and the man.

Before anyone of them could, the Lust Sword was already in that man's heart as he looked at Cyrus with horror and disbelief.

Before he could scream, Cyrus blocked his mouth with his hand and twisted his sword as he said coldly, "You can only blame yourself for being at the wrong place at the wrong time!"

That man died with his eyes widened before he turned into particles and vanished under Rita's horrified eyes.

She couldn't believe what she just saw. Not only did Cyrus take advantage of the man's distraction and kill him, that man's body even vanished right under her eyes.

This was simply unbelievable. If those empty clothes weren't lying there, she thought it was all illusion, but apparently, it wasn't.

Cyrus unsummon lust sword as he coolly said, "Let's go."

Rita was snapped out of her stupor as she finally looked at Cyrus, who seemed as calm as before. It was like he had just killed a random ant, not a living person. She finally understood if Cyrus didn't need her, he could've killed her long ago.

"This is just one of the many who will be going to die by my hand, and if you still want to back down, then you can be like him. But if you still follow me, then you'll have to live with it or even become like this. The path to strength is not always pretty. At least mine isn't." Cyrus looked deeply at Rita as he said those cold words.

Rita couldn't help but feel a chill in her spine. She could tell Cyrus was ready to kill her. She just needed to say those words. Furthermore, she felt like she was in front of a devil who wanted her soul.

Yet, this devil was offering her a position beside her for her soul, and she felt compelled!

She inhaled sharply before moving forward and said softly, "You're a devil, but this world is not paradise, either. I'll follow you!"

Cyrus smiled contently, and he started to follow her again. He started to like Rita more with her decisive personality.

This time they didn't encounter anyone and left the hoax building.

The District-U was made the same as the District-V. No one can tell the difference, as it was also filled with BoD patients.

The only place exempt from them was where ordinary officers like Rita lived from area-1 to area10.

These areas were divided by small walls and always patrolled by guards, and BoD patients weren't allowed to approach it, or they'd be shot on the spot.

Rank-0 officers like Rita were given an apartment in area-10, which had five buildings, but they were paradise compared to area-11 to area-35.

There weren't any vehicles in districts from G to Z, so they had to walk all the way toward area-10, which took half an hour, and people were already started to emerge.

As they were getting closer to area-10, an officer in uniform would pass by both Rita and Cyrus. But they were too busy to reach their duty, so no one paid much attention to them.

Rita was taking the passage, which was less crowded, and they finally reached their destination, which was a big gate.

A guard was lazily sitting behind a guard booth, and he didn't check their identity as they were wearing uniforms and let them in.

Rita's apartment was in the third building.

When they entered the building, Cyrus suddenly asked. "Where is your family?"

Rita was startled by this question before she replied with a hesitant tone, "They're in District-C. But I've been an orphan since my father and mother died when I was ten, so I was sent into the task force, and after I got instated into District-U, I never heard from them."

There was a hint of chinless in her voice.

Cyrus's lips curled, "It seemed you don't have anything tying you into this place."

"Is that a bad thing?" She looked at him as she stopped in front of a door.

"No. It's perfect!" Cyrus chuckled mysteriously.

Rita felt her heart race as she opened the door to her apartment, which was a typical small one-bedroom apartment. But it was clean and didn't smell like rats.

Cyrus didn't think much of it and entered while Rita quickly closed the door.

"Do you need something?" Rita asked as she looked at Cyrus, who sat on a small couch.

"No." Cyrus smiled at her and shook his head before he signaled her to sit beside him on the empty spot.

Rita's calm heart was beating like a drum at this moment as she sat beside Cyrus. She knew the moment of truth was here!
