The first time he killed someone, Qin Siyang felt like he was indulging in a gluttonous feast, nervous, excited.
The second time he killed someone, Qin Siyang felt like he was having a lavish meal, generally tense, slightly thrilled.
By the countless times he had killed, Qin Siyang felt like he was eating bread, only calm.
His fists were dripping with blood.
The blood on his fists wasn't his own but came from several people.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the hospital corridor, lifeless and no longer breathing, Qin Siyang took a deep breath.
At last, the suffocating frustration in his heart eased a little.
He first rummaged through their pockets, pulling out all the money they had. Three silver coins and a few hundred copper coins.
These three silver coins should be the ones he had given to Teacher Zhu, which were stolen by them.
Clutching the three silver coins, Qin Siyang had mixed feelings.
Since he had entered high school at [Ju'an School], Teacher Zhu had been working as a librarian. The part-time job at the library was always reserved for him.
He had always remembered the care Teacher Zhu had shown him. So, when he heard that she needed money for treatment, he had firmly decided to hunt Gods to gather the surgery fee for her.
But unexpectedly, after gathering the money for the surgery, Teacher Zhu ended up facing another disaster out of nowhere.
He wasn't sure whether the three silver coins he gave Teacher Zhu were a lifeline or a death sentence.
Sighing, Qin Siyang walked to the nearby restroom and washed the blood off his hands.
Looking in the mirror, he noticed some bloodstains on his face and clothes as well.
He washed the blood off his face, but the stains on his clothes could only be left for now.
Pulling out a few paper towels, he wiped his hands and face clean, then silently praised himself, "I'm getting calmer and calmer."
He took out his phone and dialed the Sequence Ability Users Management Bureau.
"Hello, yes, I just killed a few people. I want to turn myself in."
"It's because they hurt my mentor. I lost control and killed them."
"Yes, they were all ordinary people. No other Sequence Ability Users were involved. I'm at the hospital in Zone 14121."
"Alright, I'll wait here for the Bureau's personnel to arrive."
After finishing the call, Qin Siyang leaned against the corridor, quietly waiting for the Bureau personnel to come and convict him.
He had carefully studied the penalties for a Sequence Ability User killing an ordinary person.
Killing one ordinary person required earning two Hunting Points within six months to offset the crime.
Since the punishment involved hunting Gods, these two Hunting Points would not grant any monetary rewards.
However, the deserved Hunting Points and Sequence Potions wouldn't be deducted.
For Sequence Ability Users, the most important things when hunting Gods were Hunting Points and Sequence Potions, money was just a bonus.
This kind of punishment was practically insignificant.
Besides, even without the punishment, he still had to continue hunting Gods to improve his Hunting Points ranking and strive for a special admission to a top university.
Offsetting the crime was just something he could do along the way.
That was why he had no hesitation when killing Zhou Zhe and the others.
Before long, hurried footsteps echoed outside the corridor.
Soon, two men in formal attire walked over.
They looked at Qin Siyang with some surprise.
It seemed they hadn't expected that the one who had killed so many people was just a teenager.
"You killed all these people?"
"Yeah."
"Sigh, you're still young. Why commit such a crime?"
"I just couldn't hold back. They almost beat my mentor to death."
"Your mentor? Is he also a Sequence Ability User?"
"An ordinary person."
"An ordinary person? Well, now I really don't understand you."
One of the Bureau personnel took out a tablet, "We need to record your information. Name?"
"Qin Siyang."
Hearing his name, the two men were stunned for a moment.
"You're Qin Siyang?"
"Yeah."
They exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
If he was Qin Siyang, then killing people wasn't surprising.
Qin Siyang's name was well-known among the Sequence Ability Users in Safe Zone 14121.
First, he had suddenly earned over 1,200 Hunting Points.
Then, he had counter-killed John, a Sequence User of a higher rank, in the battle arena.
No matter how one looked at it, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Some even believed that both his body and mind were abnormal.
And now, he had killed seven ordinary people.
By comparison, this murder spree seemed like the most ordinary thing he had ever done.
"Sequence Ability User ID?"
"00009527."
"Alright, it's been recorded. You killed seven people, which is a serious security incident. As punishment, you need to earn fourteen Hunting Points within six months. While earning these points, you will only receive Sequence Potion rewards and won't get any monetary rewards. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"Once you earn fourteen Hunting Points, your crime will be automatically erased, and no further actions will be needed. If you fail to earn fourteen Hunting Points within six months... never mind, forget I said anything. You earned over 1,200 Hunting Points in one go, how could you possibly fail to get just fourteen?"
Qin Siyang asked, "I still want to know, if I fail to complete the punishment task, what will happen?"
"Fine. If you fail, the Bureau will impose a stricter penalty, deducting future Sequence Potion rewards based on the points you owe."
"Got it. Thanks for explaining."
"Alright. We'll notify the cleanup crew for the scene. You can leave now."
"Sorry for the trouble."
One of the Bureau personnel said earnestly, "It's good that you know you're causing trouble. Try to restrain yourself in the future, don't act on impulse so easily. Even though we Sequence Ability Users are different from ordinary people, we were once ordinary ourselves. We should still maintain some respect for life."
"I understand. I'll keep that in mind."
"Alright, you can go now."
Qin Siyang bowed to them and left the corridor.
After he left, the two men exchanged helpless looks.
"I've been keeping an eye on Qin Siyang's actions recently. The more I watch, the more I feel like he's a black box. No one knows what's inside him."
"Why think so much? Whether he's a black box or not has nothing to do with us. Call Lao You and tell him to come collect the bodies."
"Got it."
———
Following directions, Qin Siyang found his way to the emergency room where Teacher Zhu was.
The doctor at the door saw him covered in blood and had already guessed what had happened.
Qin Siyang stepped forward and respectfully asked, "Doctor, how is the patient?"
"The patient's condition is bad. We've done everything we can. We also found a way to notify her family, they're already on their way to the hospital."
Qin Siyang knew the doctor was referring to Teacher Zhu's daughter and son-in-law, who were working.
"Doctor, is there really no hope for the patient?"
