After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Are you reluctant to part with her?" Number 14 said jokingly, then immediately denied it, "Probably not. I would find it too dirty to have her as a servant, let alone the floor tiles of my palace. I'm afraid Number 3 would find it even more objectionable."

The black-haired priest gave him a cold look, then turned his gaze to the control panel after a moment.

“Her soul power is the strongest to date, and the binding force of the contract is also the strongest.” He paused, then looked up at his colleagues. “It’s not that I’m doing this to her, but that she’s doing this to me. She doesn’t acknowledge that she’s breaching the contract, and I can’t determine that it was a malicious breach.”

He took a step back, clearing the control panel, and said in a cold voice.

"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try it."

Number 14 looked eager to try, but his magic power had not been fully restored, and his priestly authority had been temporarily stripped away, so he had to give up regretfully.

“I’ll do it,” said Priest No. 9.

-

"I'm hungry, let's eat first." Just as Lu Sijian was about to walk towards the restaurant, a slight buzzing sound suddenly came from her mind.

"Is that you, Tongzi?" she asked.

The system still spoke that familiar mechanical voice, but the voice was cold and indifferent.

[Warning! Warning! Due to the host's malicious breach of the contract and failure to complete the main quest, resulting in a sharp drop in malice value, the host has been judged to have extremely high subjective malice and will be punished. The host's body will be taken over within 10 seconds. 10, 9...]

"Ah Jian!" Sheng Yunchao quickly noticed that something was wrong with the person next to him.

Lu Sijian's expression was more serious than ever before. There was no time to lose. She grabbed Sheng Yunchao's wrist and shoved the prop dagger into his hand.

"kill me!"

"What?" Lou Xiao, who had caught up, was stunned when he heard this. He asked anxiously, "Why would you do this? A-Jian, don't do anything foolish!"

He felt a heavy weight in his heart, like a stone was lodged there. If it was because of something that happened when they were children that he felt ashamed and embarrassed... it wasn't that he couldn't marry her.

Sheng Yunchao: "Get out of the way!"

Lou Xiao was startled, and that uneasy feeling returned. What exactly was their relationship?

Sheng Yunchao didn't have time to pay attention to him. Afraid that Lu Sijian would faint again without a sound, he quickly picked her up.

【…1.】The 10-second countdown ended, and Lu Sijian paused, feeling that nothing had changed.

But then, the mechanical sound rang out again.

[It will take over the host's body within 60 seconds, 59, 58...]

The time dragged on, clearly indicating that the initial attempt to take over the other party had failed.

Lu Sijian looked at Sheng Yunchao with a solemn expression and quickly instructed, "If you find out later that I'm being controlled, please kill me immediately."

She wasn't worried that the other person wouldn't realize the depth of his love for her; she could see it.

"No." Sheng Yunchao refused, his eyes filled with sorrow and pain.

"No, you must kill me!"

“No!” Sheng Yunchao said firmly, “Your situation is different from Uncle Lu’s!”

Lu Ting was still capable of fighting back even when she was completely unprepared. He didn't believe that after fighting wits and courage with the other party for so long, death was the only option for her.

The countdown ended once again, but then it started again with a hint of exasperation.

[It will take over the host's body within 5 minutes...]

"There must be a way, believe me!" Sheng Yunchao burst into tears.

She was his entire faith, the love he pursued, and his very heart.

Nothing in the world can compare to it; neither mountains nor rivers can compare to its depth.

If he loses her, what's the point of his life? He'll have no meaning in this world.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Sheng Yunchao said, "If you are being controlled, I will kill Lou Xiao and Mu Liangyue, kill Lu Lingjun, Lu Lingbai, and Lu Lingchen. I will kill everyone, so you won't have to worry about being controlled to do bad things."

Lou Xiao's pupils contracted slightly. Had Sheng Yunchao gone mad?

Lu Sijian sighed; this person was actually serious.

Even his tears are beautiful; making a beautiful woman shed tears is ultimately her fault.

Sheng Yunchao carried her to the sofa, placed her on it, knelt on one knee in front of her, and kissed the back of her hand with extreme pain, "A-Jian, don't leave me."

Lu Sijian gave a soft "hmm".

Sheng Yunchao looked up at her. Lu Sijian leaned down and wiped away his tears with her thumb. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then tie me up, okay?"

She was still quite confident that the other party would not be able to kill her.

"Okay," Sheng Yunchao said, tears welling in his eyes.

As soon as the countdown ended, Lu Sijian fainted.

Unconscious and unaware, as if asleep.

Lu Lingjun walked over, his fingers trembling as he checked her breath. His tone was tense: "What exactly happened? A-Jian also fainted for several hours inexplicably last time. Could it be that her body was also invaded?"

Sheng Yunchao took off his coat and gently covered Lu Sijian with it.

“It’s different.” He shook his head. “Ah Jian is being remotely controlled, like a puppet, but her consciousness is still her own.”

“I suspect that something is bound to her brain, something that keeps wanting her to do bad things, and if it doesn’t achieve its goal, it will do it itself.” He turned his gaze slightly to Shen Baolin who was walking over. “How disgusting. Last time she even forced A-Jian to seduce Zhou Guyang and sleep with him.”

Lu Lingjun exclaimed, "Did she faint last time because she refused to seduce Zhou Guyang as punishment?"

Shen Baolin suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

At this point, she certainly didn't believe that Lu Sijian was some kind of imposter or possessed by an evil spirit.

So, Lu Sijian seduced Zhou Guyang because she was forced by an unknown force?

Even so, the other party did not betray her. Instead, she was bewitched by Zhou Guyang into thinking that Lu Sijian shamelessly seduced Song Xiuran.

“Ah Jian…” A feeling of regret welled up in her heart. She was about to step forward when Lu Lingjun blocked her way.

"Go away!"

Shen Baolin looked hurt. "Lingjun, I want to take care of Ajian."

"What right do you have to take care of A-Jian?" Lu Lingjun's eyes were icy cold.

Sheng Yunchao was certainly intentionally trying to mislead everyone; he was despicable and shameless, and of course he would use any means necessary.

Besides, what he said wasn't a lie; Lu Sijian was indeed forced to do those disgusting tasks.

If she hadn't been clever, she might not have been able to escape that encirclement.

"Brother, please take good care of her for me. I'll be back soon." He stood up and looked at "Lu Ting" lying on the ground, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"What do you want to do?" Lou Xiao was startled and blocked his way. "Don't do anything rash. We can't kill them now!"

"Who's with us?" Sheng Yunchao's eyes were as black as ink, unyielding to any amount of light.

He wasn't joking when he said that. If everything really became irreversible, the first person he would kill was Lou Xiao.

Lu Ting lay on the ground with several new bruises on his face, but they were fading away at a visible speed.

Clearly, Lu Lingjun's punches couldn't hurt him at all.

A smile crept onto his lips. Had he been judged to have maliciously breached the contract? Tsk, he should have behaved himself a long time ago.

However, the next second, he met Sheng Yunchao's gaze and inexplicably shivered.

In the days that followed, he deeply regretted his provocation.
