The corpses of the dead man and woman started to change immediately, their skin turning pale and swollen with dense horizontal stripes surfacing, like worms crawling beneath.

Gasping for air, Li Cheng somewhat steadied his breathing, walked into the kitchen, turned on the tap, and washed off the mucus and bloodstains on the Mantis Arm Bone Blade.

Then he picked up a palm-sized plastic bag from the ground, emptied it of the nuts inside, and placed six pieces of Blood Amber into it.

After completing these tasks, he scanned the scene to make sure he hadn't left anything behind, pocketed the plastic bag, and turned towards the balcony—

With all the commotion here, the neighbors might have already called the police. When the police arrive, they would naturally report the situation in the room to the Special Affairs Administration, who would then clean up the aftermath.

Therefore, Li Cheng did not knock on the master bedroom door or alert the two siblings inside that it was safe outside.

For them, hiding away and not witnessing the death of their "parents" was perhaps for the better.

In a flash—

Just as the sore Li Cheng was preparing to jump out of the window, a breeze blew by, and a figure appeared out of thin air on the balcony.

It was a short-haired girl with delicate features, looking only a few years older than Li Cheng, dressed in a brown wool coat, wearing a gray fisherman's hat, and accompanied by a naive-looking gray and white chinchilla floating by her side.

Their eyes met in silence.
