Chapter 4

Having dealt with the Stalking Pervert, my steps back to the apartment felt even lighter.

When I reached the third floor, the man who had been kneeling at the door was gone.

The sound of crashing and smashing echoed from behind that iron door.

Following that were a man’s vulgar curses and a woman’s pleading, tearful cries.

“The cooling-off period isn’t over yet! I’m not agreeing to a divorce!”

“Rape? Bah! You’re my wife. I’ll take you whenever I want. Why would I need your permission?”

“Call the police. Go ahead! This is a domestic matter-let’s see if anyone actually gives a damn about you!”

The iron door finally cracked open, and a woman stumbled out, trying to run.

A pair of large hands reached out from the darkness behind her, grabbing her by the hair and dragging her back inside with brute force.

Seeing the door about to slam shut, I picked up a leftover beer bottle the man had discarded on the floor and used my foot to gently wedge it in the way.

*Smash!*

The bottle shattered, a precision hit.

The man touched the blood trickling from his temple and suddenly flew into a violent rage.

“Where did this bitch come from, meddling in my business?!”

He kicked his wife hard into the corner and turned around, attempting to put me in a rear-naked choke.

*Squelch…*

I raised my hand and plunged the jagged remains of the glass bottle into the man’s carotid artery.

Pull out, stab in, pull out, stab in…

Under my crude technique, his neck became a mangled mess, blood spraying everywhere.

This was normal.

I was a butcher. What kind of slaughterhouse would it be without blood flying?

Chen Lin huddled in the corner, arms wrapped around her knees, staring blankly at the man lying on the floor.

She was crying and laughing at the same time, a mix of sorrow and joy.

“Sixteen times… We’ve been married for half a year, and he beat me sixteen times.”

“This was the seventeenth. I knew he was going to kill me. He was definitely going to kill me.”

The desk lamp in the room had been smashed, leaving the light dim.

Suddenly, Chen Lin looked up at me, seemingly having made some kind of decision.

She got up and walked toward the refrigerator in the corner, emptied out the frozen food, and then pulled a bone cleaver from the kitchen.

“Thank you. You should leave.”

“I killed him. I’ve never seen you before.”

As she muttered to herself, Chen Lin’s expression grew lighter, almost reaching a point of being radiant.

Unfortunately, before her plan to dismember the body could be put into action, her whole body suddenly trembled, and she fell into a coma.

Once she lost consciousness, the man’s corpse on the floor followed suit and vanished.

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Superpower: Deep Hypnosis]

[Role: Violent Offender has gone offline]

[Player Xinyi: Record 4]

I carried Chen Lin to the soft sofa and rummaged through the pile of medicine bottles on the coffee table to find two tablets of Paroxetine, which I fed to her.

On the floor lay a diagnosis for severe depression and anxiety; she had been so hounded by the man today that she had forgotten to take her medicine.

I placed my hand gently on her forehead and activated the hypnosis.

“Sleep. It was just a nightmare.”

“When you wake up, your life will begin anew.”

I closed the door and left.
