Ch. 6 - Guarding Li Yihan

"I still don't know your name. After you attempted suicide, how am I supposed to inform the Security Guard Bureau and contact your relatives?"Yusheng asked another reasonable question.

The young man remained silent, suppressing the anger within himself and calmly said, "I am Li Yihan. Any more questions?"

"No more."

Yusheng pondered seriously for a moment and shook his head.

Li Yihan suspiciously stared at Yusheng for a long time after tentatively lifted his hand, drawing the knife blade around his neck for a while. Seeing no resistance from Yusheng, he slowly closed his eyes and once again recalled his life.

"He committed suicide, you know."

Suddenly, Li Yihan felt a sharp light and numbly opened his eyes, seeing Yusheng holding a phone that he didn't know when he took out, turning on the night light, recording a video and aiming it at him.

Yusheng even explained thoughtfully.

Sensing Li Yihan's gaze, Yusheng hesitated and explained, "Uh, I have to leave some evidence behind."

"Are you a devil?"

"Are you done yet?"

"Huh?"

"You didn't want me dead. Hiss. You didn't want me to die."

"What are you doing?"

"Hiss..."

"Oh my god!"

"Hiss! Such misery!"

With each yell, Li Yihan would tear open his wounds, stimulating his emotions through the pain, cursing in anger, tearing again and cursing again, repeating the cycle.

It's hard to imagine the determination one must have before dying.

And Li Yihan's ability to overcome his inner fear several times can only be described as strong-willed.

But after experiencing it too many times,

When Li Yihan raised the knife blade again, he found that he no longer had the determination to bring it down.

He listlessly threw the blade on the ground, not caring about the bloodstains, then slumped on the sofa, tearing at his wounds again. He instinctively gasped for a cold breath and gazed at Yusheng, saying, "I don't know what you, a lunatic, are thinking. But if you want me dead, I'll probably die from excessive bleeding in about half an hour."

"If you don't want me dead, then give me hemostatic medicine and bandages."

He stared at Yusheng, awaiting the final answer.

Yusheng looked at him curiously and said, "Actually, what I'm more curious about is why you didn't kill me."

"As the future world's top assassin, I have my professional ethics."

"Take people's money and eliminate their troubles."

"Killing is my job, not my interest."

"I can't kill you without receiving the bounty from my employer."

Li Yihan's expression was particularly serious at this moment. Without any hint of joking, his eyes filled with determination.

Yusheng pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, "I now believe that you are indeed an assassin."

"But an assassin who hasn't fully awakened—who would place a contract on you?"

"Is it because of poverty?"

Yusheng asked with interest.

"I think before you start asking questions, you should give me the hemostatic medicine first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer you for much longer."

Li Yihan spoke helplessly, glancing at his chest wound.

"No hurry, if you don't get too emotional, you'll probably last another thirty-two minutes."

Yusheng glanced casually

"…"

"What kind of monster is this?", Li Yihan always felt that the person in front of him seemed more like an assassin than he himself did. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"I'll be an adult in half a month."

"I'll be able to perform the awakening ceremony soon."

"So I lied about my age and took the mission, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the awakened and non-awakened."

"Even though his awakening material had no effect, his reaction speed and strength were much stronger than mine."

"Being able to escape, that's already quite agile."

"So... can you give me the medicine now?"

Li Yihan asked again.

At this moment, they could see a group of Security guards patrolling outside the window.

Li Yihan subconsciously leaned back, tearing open his wounds again, but clenched his teeth without making a sound.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Don't be afraid, I have connections in the Security Guard Bureau."

Yusheng said optimistically.

Li Yihan was stunned. "Do you have someone in your family working at the Security Guard Bureau?"

"No, my dad visited a prostitute so I just reported him, he should be locked up in the Security Guard Bureau now."

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's where he is."

Yusheng shook his head, speaking plain words. Coupled with his harmless appearance, Li Yihan didn't know what to say for a moment.

The person in front of him, though looking about the same age as himself, had a hint of innocence on his face and a slim figure that he couldn't help but feel an illusion.

As if sitting across from him was a towering demon lurking in the darkness, ready to unsheath its blade at any moment and drag him into the endless abyss.

"Apply the medicine first."

Yusheng didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly said something and picked up the medicine, tossing it next to Li Yihan.

He let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that the person in front of him really doesn't intend to kill him.

Li Yihan took out a bottle of a specially made potion and carefully poured it on the wound. The intense pain swept through his nerves, causing his whole body to twitch slightly, but he gritted his teeth and made no sound.

"Actually, what I gave you was chilli water."

Yusheng suddenly spoke.

"You... Ah!!!"

"Damn it!"

Li Yihan glared at Yusheng as if he wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back the pain and let out a low roar.

Yusheng shrugged, "I was joking. When it hurts, you should scream. It's uncomfortable to hold it in."

"After bandaging, remember to clean up the room for me before you leave."

"And there's garbage at the door, take it with you."

"But you still owe me your life, I'll come looking for you when I need it. I hope you'll still be alive then."

With that, Yusheng yawned and got up, returning to the bedroom and lying down.

Li Yihan watched Yusheng's back, his eyes filled with complexity, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Actually, awakened ones aren't as powerful as you think."

Standing at the bedroom door without turning around, Yusheng suddenly said something, uttering a somewhat cryptic sentence before closing the door.

"Really?"

"Perhaps... hiss, it hurts, it hurts, damn it!"

Just as Li Yihan was about to say something, he couldn't hold back the pain and groaned again.
