Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Ever since he learned of the Night Watch's existence, Lin Qiye knew that his hard-won peaceful life had been disrupted once again.

He only encountered a few monsters called "Ghost Faces" on his way home after finishing his first day of school, but by a twist of fate, he opened the Divine Ruins, thus stepping into the dark side of ordinary people's mundane lives.

The Night Watch is an organization that protects the country, and there are many people like Lin Qiye there.

They are all quietly protecting this beautiful peace in the shadows, unknown to the people.

Zhao Kongcheng approached him repeatedly, hoping he would join the Night Watch, because Lin Qiye possessed a powerful divine artifact with the serial number 003.

But his aunt needed someone to take care of her, and he had finally managed to get rid of the label of mental illness.

Although at the same time this accident happened, he also learned that the angel he saw when he was a child was not the illusion or a figment of the imagination that the doctors claimed, but a real god—the six-winged angel Michael.

However, he did not want to join the Night's Watch as the Night's Watchman named Zhao Kongcheng had persuaded him to.

Admittedly, he vaguely understood from the man's words that he possessed great abilities, but Lin Qiye only wanted to live a peaceful life in his later years. He had just entered university and wanted this tranquility to continue.

Although he still controls a mental hospital and has met Nyx, the goddess of the night who treats him like a child, he still has no intention of changing his original desire for peace.

……

But no one expected that the shock brought about by the disruption of peace would be so great as to cost a person's life.

……

Lin Qiye sat by the window, watching the rain outside, as his aunt had just finished cooking. A quiet and warm atmosphere surrounded him.

A bat flew past the window, and our vision was instantly synchronized.

Almost simultaneously, in this [Boundless Void], while Zhao Kongcheng was locked in combat with the Ghost-Faced King who had opened the forbidden [Ghost-Faced Land View], Lin Qiye noticed something amiss through the perspective of a bat.

He rushed out the door, found the place that he vaguely thought Zhao Kongcheng was, and shouted loudly, "Zhao Kongcheng!"

"Zhao Kongcheng! Stop hiding! I know you're around here!"

The [Boundless Void] unfolds, and Lin Qiye outside cannot see what is happening inside, unless Chi Jing's strength forcibly breaks through, or Zhao Kongcheng dies.

At this moment, Zhao Kongcheng was already at his limit. He wiped the blood off his face, ignoring his serious injuries, stood up, and after a moment, took out the emblem from his pocket.

On the back of the emblem is a tiny needle, which is the guide of the spirits.

The "Ghost and Spirit Guide," which can unleash human potential, is exactly what its name suggests—it attracts ghosts and spirits.

"It shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary..."

The man smiled bitterly to himself, but appeared relieved. He laughed loudly at the monster in front of him: "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"

He gripped the hilt of his knife tightly and charged toward the enemy.

……

Under the torrential rain, amidst the flickering lights of homes, stands a burdened individual carrying all the hardships, alone guarding this land.

……

Lin Qiye finally saw Zhao Kongcheng's figure, but with a flash of light, Ghost Face King fell to the ground, and amidst a large patch of blood, the man's mangled body stood there.

Zhao Kongcheng's eyes widened: "How did you get in?"

The Boundless Void was forcibly broken? Wasn't it supposed to be unbreakable only by those at the Pool Realm?

How did you get in?

Lin Qiye squinted at Zhao Kongcheng: "You... you opened it with your eyes?"

"Pfft hahahaha..."

A clear laugh rang out from another corner just as Lin Qiye finished explaining.

The sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet night, where only the sound of rain could be heard, causing Zhao Kongcheng to ignore the pain in his body and look over.

A girl wearing a white shirt and a black pleated skirt emerged from the darkness.

Unlike her long, flowing white hair at school, this one was tied at the ends with a red and white braided rope, with two silver bells hanging from the end that made a clear, tinkling sound as the girl moved in the rain.

The girl's eyes were covered by a black silk ribbon. She held a Tang sword in her right hand and her left fingers gently rested on the hilt, tapping it rhythmically with her steps.

"Truly worthy of the title... 'A true hero kills with his eyes,' hahaha, now I've really witnessed it!"

The girl was still smiling as she walked closer and closer to Lin Qiye and his companion, but her hand gestures suddenly changed.

With a flick of her right hand, the sword traced a perfect arc in the air as she moved, holding it horizontally in front of her shoulder while her left hand gripped the hilt and drew the sword.

Almost before Lin Qiye could even see what happened next, except for the action of drawing his sword, the girl's figure flashed in front of him and stabbed straight in front of Zhao Kongcheng.

With a flash of light, a blur streaked past, and the Ghost King's head fell to the ground.

Zhao Kongcheng stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling both surprised and somewhat annoyed that the Ghost-Faced King was not completely dead.

Lin Qiye's expression was also complicated. Almost as soon as he saw the figure, he knew who it was.

The transfer student in the same class, Lu Yu, was a legendary figure in the class, rumored to be a rich girl, someone whose family was involved in the underworld, someone aloof and unapproachable, and so on...

Lin Qiye still had room for discussion regarding the first two versions, but he didn't entirely agree with the last rumor.

Thinking of the girl's innocent smile that afternoon, Lin Qiye couldn't understand why people would say that such beautiful eyes were a symptom of a sick person.

Until the last moment, he thought the girl was a gentle classmate with a beautiful smile, but the next moment, seeing the Ghost King's head fall to the ground, Lin Qiye's conjecture died in the womb.

Okay, the new classmate is indeed in the underworld, but he's in the killing world.

Lin Qiye chuckled dryly and said, "What a coincidence, classmate Lu Yu."

Lu Yu gave a professional fake smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, Lin."

Lin Qiye glanced at the corpse on the ground, and Zhao Kongcheng beside him collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had given out.

Lin Qiye quickly helped him up from the ground.

"Old Zhao!"

Zhao Kongcheng knew he was running out of time, and with a deathly pale face, he looked at Lin Qiye and said, "Wasn't I cool just now?"

Lin Qiye looked at him silently and nodded vigorously.

Zhao Kongcheng chuckled: "Having experienced the Forbidden Ruins before my death, I have no regrets... Hahahaha..."

After greeting Lin Qiye, Lu Yu ignored him and looked down at the two of them, listening to Zhao Kongcheng's words, which sounded like his dying words, as he instilled a new will in a confused young man.

The system, oblivious to the situation, popped up at this moment: [A total of 8000 virtual words were gained just now. The protagonist, Lin Qiye, contributed 6000, and the important supporting character, Zhao Kongcheng, contributed 2000. This was a good deal.]

Ah, I have enough energy!

Lu Yu was forcibly pulled out of her sad mood by this guy, and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You've been online a lot lately, haven't you?"

The system also needs to keep pace with the times.

"Then you don't know what it means to read someone's face and act accordingly?"

Lu Yu stopped talking. She had already obtained the virtual words she wanted, and even exceeded the target. She was no longer worried and quietly waited for the plot to unfold, looking at Lin Qiye and the others with a strange expression.
