Chapter 79: Serial Killing Gang Suffers Serial Killings (14) “…
Fenric took Alice and was about to leave when the Hell Demon leader spoke up, "Please wait a moment!"
He looked at Si Ling, pointed at the unconscious Alice, and asked hesitantly: "Was she knocked unconscious by the violent ghost, or is she the one..."
"She is." Si Ling looked at them. "What's wrong?"
"...Then you can't take her back to the Ghost Academy. Leave her to us and we will dispose of her harmlessly." said the team leader.
"Harmless disposal" is such a euphemism.
Si Ling frowned: "Why?"
"Because she's gone berserk!" The team leader spread his hands. "Even though she's unconscious now, what are you going to do when she wakes up? Knock her out again? And knock her out over and over again? Why bother?"
Without waiting for Si Ling to speak, Xuan Chi sneered. Si Ling looked at them with a complicated expression: "Who told you that this state is irreversible?"
The Hell Demon Leader's expression turned serious. "Ma'am, over the past thousand years, we've dealt with hundreds of such special cases. We initially tried treatment, but it turned out..."
"Ha, sorry to interrupt—over the past few thousand years, I've taken on hundreds of these side jobs. From the first case, I've successfully reversed the condition, and the vast majority of them never relapse."
"?" The demons from hell before him fell silent, not because they were embarrassed, but because they couldn't tell whether what he said was true.
Si Ling wasn't in the mood to waste time with them. Frowning, she drifted towards Isaac's villa, leaving only one sentence: "If you have any objections, you can go to Lucifer, or have Satan come to me. But if you want to 'neutralize' Alice," she paused, "I don't mind a fight."
"..." The demons in hell exchanged glances silently for a few times. Finally, they chose the optimal solution from the perspective of the ox and the horse: go talk to Lucifer.
If Lucifer is willing to hand Alice over to them, that would be the easiest thing to do. If Lucifer is unwilling, then let Lucifer communicate directly with Satan, it is none of their business.
Si Ling then took Alice with the Hell Demon and the werewolves through Lingbo City and returned to the Ghost Academy, while Si Ling and Xuan Chi returned to Isaac together.
Si Ling asked him as they hurried on: "Has Zhu Mengwei not dealt with him yet?"
"Hmm...it's a bit complicated." Hyun Chi paused. "The later it gets, the slower his SAN value drops. I guess it's because children gradually become numb to the pain brought on by their original families. But the value is still decreasing. It's only a matter of time before he's dealt with."
"That's good." Si Ling nodded.
In fact, she thought it would be best if she could torture these people a little longer. Especially the targets of this mission, not only did they each carry multiple lives, but most of them were brutally murdered. Although this meant they would inevitably suffer long-term torture at the hands of Satan after death, Si Ling still felt they didn't deserve a quick death.
However, when they returned to Isaac's yard, they found that Zhu Mengwei, Li Qi, Bai Ma and the vampires were all in the yard, sitting in two rows on the steps in front of the door. From a distance, it looked like they were taking a group photo.
"What happened?" Si Ling floated over and glanced at the villa behind them. "Is Isaac dead?"
"Not yet. I'm still controlling the paper figurines... but I don't want to watch anymore." Zhu Mengwei sighed, looking a little depressed. Si Ling was about to ask what was going on when Zhu Mengwei took the initiative to explain, "I really couldn't bear to watch it anymore... The words on the cards you found that Isaac used to torture his victims were clearly the trauma of his own experiences. Later, we gradually confirmed another thing: his father was definitely not just NPD, but also a domestic abuser. Domestic violence was commonplace for Isaac, especially when he mentioned or even just missed his mother, his father would beat him up. We speculate that this domestic violence may have been paralleled by brainwashing. His father would tell him after beating him that his mother was a bitch - you know, those classic statements like 'Because she's a bitch, I'm stopping you from meeting for your own good.'"
"This is probably the fundamental reason why he became an incel..." Si Ling nodded, thoughtfully saying, "He might not have truly believed it at first, but in order to avoid being beaten, he also brainwashed himself."
Zhu Mengwei said: "Yes, we think so too."
"...Is this the reason why you guys hid out?" Si Ling's mouth twitched, "It's not that serious, is it?"
"That's not the case." Li Qi laughed. "After analyzing what happened, we let the paper man commit 'domestic violence'."
Si Ling was speechless: "Then why not just stop doing that?"
Why make yourself uncomfortable?
"How can that be!" Zhu Mengwei's somewhat dejected expression suddenly became firm. "His father is a domestic abuser. His father is indeed a beast. Now that the paper man is beating him up, it's the retribution he deserves. Let's put it this way!"
“…”
Si Ling agreed with her point of view, and at the same time thought that the scene of "a group of ghosts making themselves so uncomfortable that they hid outside and dared not look in order to bring the light of righteousness to the victim" was too funny.
Si Ling shook his head and had to float in by himself, because it was an illusion after all, equivalent to running a program. Even if the probability of a bug was extremely small, it was better to have someone watching nearby.
As soon as she passed through the wall, she ran into a domestic violence scene head-on. Isaac's screams were deafening. Si Ling raised an eyebrow and sat down on the sofa calmly.
Xuan Chi floated behind her and asked, "Can you bear to watch?"
Si Ling sneered, "I've lived for 30,000 years, what haven't I seen? The blood and flesh flying on the battlefield, the starving people everywhere during the famine, which scene is not more heartbreaking than this? And he is a villain."
Hyun-chi gazed at the scene before him—domestic violence was unfamiliar to him. Though he could no longer recall much of his past, he subconsciously knew he had never experienced such violence. Yet, for some reason, the scene evoked a sense of familiarity, as if something long forgotten was about to emerge. His heartbeat quickened, and he stared at the father and son before him, breathless, hoping to finally recall something. But alas, in a moment, the feeling faded.
Xuan Chi took a deep breath, trembling slightly. Si Ling turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Xuan Chi lowered his eyes: "I seem to have thought of something, but I can't grasp it."
"It will be fine." Si Ling said soothingly. After she finished speaking, her eyes cast back to the scene in front of her, and she felt a little confused - he was thinking of something now, thinking of it through the domestic violence scene?
She felt strange, and countless guesses flashed through her mind, each one more bizarre than the last.
……never mind.
She finally dismissed these speculations. Since they couldn't be verified anyway, they were just wild thoughts.
.
After a whole night, Isaac's SAN value finally reached 10%, which could ensure a one-hit kill. The Eastern Group was considerate and gave this killing opportunity to Aurelio, wanting him to avenge his arrest.
But Aurelio said with a sad face: "I won't go...I don't want to face this child when I think of myself as the 'perverted father'!"
"No, how come you're so into the role?!" Ah Zhu complained helplessly, "It's just your face that's being used, you didn't even play the father yourself!"
Si Ling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He cast a spell to capture the "paper version of Aurelio" and broke the illusion in the room. In this way, both Aurelio and Isaac himself saw him as normal.
Isaac was originally curled up in the corner of the bedroom wiping his tears. The scene and the recovery of his body made his SAN value rise instantly, but before he could get up from the corner, there was a loud bang and the window was suddenly broken!
Isaac was startled and looked up...
I saw "father" jumping in through the window.
"No!" he shouted in despair, and his SAN value, which had just recovered a little, dropped again.
...In fact, at this moment, since the spell no longer existed, he should know that this face was not his father, but the unforgettable painful memory of yesterday had not yet faded, and he did not react at all, let alone think about why his father suddenly wore a suit and tie, and why he jumped out of the window.
The next moment, the "father" held Aurelio's shoulders, bared his sharp fangs, and bit his neck.
With only 10% SAN left, □□ was vulnerable, and the vampire's sharp fangs easily pierced his carotid artery. Aurelio immediately released him. Isaac clutched the wound in horror, but blood still gushed out, seeping through his fingers before splattering onto his white lab coat, quickly staining a large area from his shoulder.
"Pah!" Aurelio spat out the little blood in his mouth and cursed viciously, "Disgusting, even a mosquito wouldn't drink it!"
Isaac suddenly knelt on the ground exhausted, staring at Aurelio blankly.
He finally realized that this was not actually his "father", but the rapid blood loss made him dazed and he became unsure about this matter.
Aurelio looked down at him condescendingly. Facing the "adult version of Isaac" in front of him, his pity and sympathy disappeared. He could only think of the thrilling experience of his arrest and the photos of the victims in the information provided by Lucifer.
He then developed a bit of evil intentions, trying to guess NPD's emotions, curling his lips and sneering: "You are such a bad boy, making the house so dirty again."
——This is also what appeared on those cards.
Isaac's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked down at the ground in panic. When he saw his blood beginning to soak into the carpet, he became increasingly uneasy. He gasped for breath and subconsciously tried to wipe off the stains.
As soon as his hand left the wound, the blood spurted out even more violently.
A few seconds later, Isaac fell to the ground, and after two twitches, his breathing completely stopped.
But his eyes were still wide open, and before he lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was the bloodstain on the carpet that was still expanding, and his father's ridicule and reproach echoed in his mind:
"You are such a bad boy. You made the house so dirty again."

The author has something to say: Aurelio: How should I put it, I’ll be afraid to look in the mirror from now on.
