As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

"You really won't ask any further questions?"

As she sat back in the car, Yao Qing asked.

She could tell that Ruan Hong was clearly up to something.

And most of them are related to ghosts and monsters.

Furthermore, it is directly linked to his daughter.

There's not even a need to ask anything.

Observation and speculation alone are enough.

Since she could see it, Liu Ren could naturally see it too.

But Liu Ren chose not to ask further questions.

Just leave.

“There’s no point in asking any further.” Liu Ren said, smoking a cigarette by the car window. “Adults need to learn to take responsibility for their choices. Since he made this choice, he has to bear whatever happens afterward.”

"But if we just leave it like this, won't you be held responsible if something goes wrong later?"

“I don’t feel I bear any responsibility. Even according to the Operations Department’s operational guidelines, I haven’t done anything wrong.”

At best, it simply means turning a blind eye to less obvious anomalies.

“That’s what you say…” Yao Qing paused and said, “But my conscience will still hurt, right? I feel like I should do something.”

"I don't have your level of compassion."

"..."

"Moreover, there are only two possibilities at present," Liu Ren said calmly and incisively. "Either Xiao Xiao has come into contact with the monster and become a monster herself, or Xiao Xiao, like Shu Yan before her, has already become a monster, albeit a mimic monster."

"...Shu Yan noticed something very obvious when she paid a little attention last time, but this time I observed her carefully and this girl is no different from a normal person."

"This is where the problem lies."

"..."

"In either case, we can't force our way in. Whether the possessed joins the Zero Association and works for them is their prerogative. If Ruan Hong has no intention, it's a waste of breath to talk to him. If it's a mimicry ghost, then it's even more troublesome. Last time, Shu Yan's abnormality was so obvious that you found it hard to accept. This time, Ruan Xiaoxiao is no different from a normal person. Do you think her father will allow me to execute his daughter?"

"They probably won't agree..." Yao Qing could easily imagine the situation at that time, "After all, she really looks exactly like a normal person."

"That's why I didn't press the issue, because it would have been pointless. Zero Agreement is ultimately a company, not a government agency. For a company to take action, it needs orders from customers. Without orders, taking action without authorization and causing problems could easily push the boundaries of the Zero Agreement. That would lead to even more trouble."

The Zero Protocol is specifically designed to restrain those who have entered the Twisted Realm, and Liu Ren is currently one of them.

Although his status and power have increased, blatantly ignoring the established rules still has a very negative impact.

Of course, the main problem is that if he really did that, his teammates would also become disloyal.

Liu Ren doesn't consider himself a good person, but he needs to consider team-level issues.

After all, now is not the time for him to act recklessly on his own.

He was surrounded by people.

"Yeah...sigh."

Yao Qing thought about it for a moment and understood.

The key issue is not whether they take action.

It depends on whether those involved need them to take action.

In the past, the police could have taken direct action in accordance with the law.

The consent of the perpetrator and the victim is not required.

But Yao Qing is not a police officer now; she is just an employee of the company.

The employees of the Zero-Earnings Association also do not have law enforcement power.

No law explicitly states that those who enter the realm of the supernatural must investigate anything unusual they see, or that seeing a supernatural object necessarily means they must fight it.

The old order is crumbling, while a new order has yet to take shape.

"Where to go now?"

Yao Qing decided to stop thinking about it.

Thinking too much is exhausting.

"Let's just wander around. Our task today is to stroll around outside and wait for instructions from the logistics department."

"Ok."

The car engine roared again, carrying the two of them as they sped along the road.

Since she had no destination, Yao Qing took advantage of the fact that there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road during the New Year's Day holiday and started speeding.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Ren watched the scenery on both sides rush past faster and faster. He silently reached out and grabbed the handrail, reminding him, "You're speeding."

"Who doesn't speed when racing?" Yao Qing retorted matter-of-factly.

"That's true, but it seems inappropriate for you to say that, doesn't it? Where's your sense of propriety?"

"The will to follow the rules is dead."

Yao Qing rolled down the window, feeling the cold air constantly flowing into the car.

His face was full of excited smiles.

The road was so spacious that she couldn't help but gradually floor the accelerator.

If this had happened six months ago, Yao Qing would never have been so outrageous.

But so much has happened in the past six months.

She went from being unaccustomed to bloodshed at first to gradually becoming used to it.

From feeling nauseous at the sight of the strange creature, to gradually being able to kill it without batting an eye.

From a heart always filled with righteous indignation, to that righteousness gradually becoming tarnished.

Although she is still a very conscientious person.

But it is less rigid.

Once you relax your self-discipline, it's hard to get it back.

I don't know if it's the subtle influence of the strange creature.

In short.

"Wuhu~!"

"slower."

Looking at Yao Qing, who was becoming increasingly excited, Liu Ren recalled his unpleasant experience in "Eternal Night".

Damn it, speeding is fine, but speeding this fast will really cause an accident!

“It’s already very slow!”

"You're already going 200 km/h, is that considered slow?"

"Didn't you not run the full distance?"

"This is the city center of Tamah!"

"Anyway, the streets aren't very empty!"

Yao Qing turned onto the highway.

There are even fewer vehicles here.

She could press the accelerator even further.

"Damn it, if something happens, we'll both be covered in bruises."

Liu Ren leaned back in his chair and complained expressionlessly.

"You won't be able to tell by then, don't worry!"

If it's smashed into a pulp, you definitely won't be able to tell anything from it.

"Don't drive too far, or you won't be able to get back in time."

"Got it~!"

Although Liu Ren kept criticizing Yao Qing's behavior, he didn't strongly stop her.

Those who fall into the trap of evil need a quirk to release pent-up mental stress; this has been said many times.

As long as this hobby doesn't involve indiscriminate killing or engaging in perverse art, Liu Ren can accept it.

The Zero Association will also be tolerant.

The main problem is that a lack of tolerance is also unacceptable.

Wei Ling's psychological counseling room is not a panacea.

Even if she brought in a few more old classmates to help her, the capacity was still very limited.

Many Zero Association members still find their own ways to relieve stress.

After being driven at breakneck speed on the ring expressway by Yao Qing for almost an hour, Liu Ren finally received an urgent notification from the logistics department.

That was a mass message.

"All agents still within Hualan City, respond immediately!"

"There's an urgent task that needs to be handled..."
