The man's pupils suddenly contracted, as it turned out that the dagger had stabbed a key, not the one Shi Liuli had been playing with earlier!

His expression changed suddenly, about to make the next move, but he found that his body had become immobile.

It was the key!

The man was shocked, not understanding how an ordinary key could render him immobile.

In fact, it was because at the moment he stabbed the key, Shi Liuli had injected a hidden force along the key, causing a temporary paralysis of his entire nervous system, which would take some time to recover from.

"Now, can you speak properly?"

Looking up, the man now noticed Shi Liuli.

But he had no chance to appreciate it at the moment, as he had already become a fish on the chopping board—completely at the mercy of others.

Seeing him silent, Shi Liuli pushed the conversation forward with a smile, "Come on, I only have two questions for you. Tell me who sent you and what your purpose is."

The man remained silent, with a glint of light flickering in his eyes, as if waiting for something.

He was not acting alone, and although the situation here was not significant, his companions should soon notice that something was wrong and launch a group attack on Shi Liuli, thereby freeing him from danger.

But Shi Liuli saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "If you're waiting for your companions, I can only tell you that I've taken care of them. Ah, you must be wondering how I knew, right? It's because they had the same idea as you before they died!"

As she spoke, Shi Liuli's smile grew even more radiant, leaving the man feeling a chill down his spine and a surge of nausea in his heart, which he struggled to suppress.

Although Shi Liuli appeared to be all smiles at the moment, her bloodthirsty words made the man feel as if he could see the blood of his companions still staining her face.

This could already be called 'sick'!

She was a monster in human skin!

The man did not doubt whether what Shi Liuli said was true or false. What mattered at the moment was that he was being controlled by a 'monster', and there was nothing more terrifying than that.

"Who are you!?"

The man shouted, seemingly to mask his inner fear, and increased his volume.

Covering her ears, Shi Liuli pouted cutely, "Why are you shouting so loud! Answer my questions first, and I promise to let you go as long as you tell me everything!"

But the man had no further words, as he bit down hard, and in the next moment, his head slumped lifelessly, dead.

Tsk, careless! She didn't expect such a clichéd way of dying after all these years!

It was obvious that the man had bitten down on the poison hidden in his mouth, causing his death. This could be seen at a glance.

Shi Liuli was annoyed at herself for making such a low-level mistake, and regretted not interrogating the others before killing them. Perhaps she could have extracted some information through other means.

But now that the people were gone, what else could she do?

It seemed she would have to be more vigilant.

Before long, the alley returned to its original state, and no one noticed that a figure had quietly disappeared into the shadows of the alley...

The street was as lively as ever, people were still going about their business, and the streetlights were still shining on their usual spots, but no one noticed that the world had permanently lost a few people.
