For a moment, there was silence and then Xia Yue timidly asked, "You're saying there was part of the demon absorbed aside from their power... like .. their perverseness perhaps?"

Huang Wen's face reddened and he unwillingly nodded his head.

"When... when you see me or Big Sis Chen... do you... do you...", Xia Yue hesitated while Zhang Xuan watched Huang Wen intently.

Of course Huang Wen noticed the mood but he couldn't lie about it without putting the girls into the danger of absorbing demon, with a heavy heart he nodded, "I ... yes when I looked at you three, it seemed the desire that should belong to that demon stirred in me..."

"When we... was it you or was it the demon?", Zhang Xuan asked with paled face.

Huang Wen took her hand, she was trying to get away, but he was faster. When he gently held her hand, she felt somewhat comforted.

"It was me. Part of the demon is within me. That is true but doesn't mean he is in control. I do what I want to do, not do what he wants me to do.", Huang Wen assured her.

Zhang Xuan sighed, she felt relieved, secretly she thought to herself and strengthen her resolution, 'Am I not ready to give myself to him for the sake of my family? Does it really matter whether he wants me or the demon within him wants me? As long as he does, what I want him to do. At the end, it isn't he or the demon who is in control. It's me.'

Chen Yao asked with a hint of suspicion, "You aren't trying to frighten us, are you? So you can monopolize all the demon for yourself."

Huang Wen sighed, "Do you think I'm not ashamed to admit something like this?"

It happened that just as he talked to Chen Yao, his eyes unconsciously scanned her from head to toe but stopped at her chest.

"Watch where your eyes go, dimwit!", Chen Yao flustered.

"Sorry...", Huang Wen blushed.

"If you know that, why did you kill Baihu?", Chen Yao still suspected him.

"Because I don't have any choice. It's whether he kills me or I kill him. At that time, I sensed something was locked on me, like a hunter watches its prey. It's a similar feeling when I met the first demon I killed. So I know Baihu had his eyes on me and won't let me escape. Either I kill him or he kills me. I really had no choice.", Huang Wen patiently explained.

Meanwhile, Xia Yue secretly watched him closely and quietly she said to herself, 'He's such a nice guy... Obviously he doesn't want to let us fall into unknown danger even if telling the story embarrassed him a lot. And when Big Sis Chen kept pestering him with questions, even as he exasperated at her suspicion, he kept patiently explained it to her. He didn't shout or use harsh words.'

At the same time Chen Yao felt Huang Wen told them the truth, she was the one who was the most excited about killing demon to quickly improve her level.

"But I think you could kill demons who are still invisible. The first demon I killed gave around 100 points and I didn't feel any side effect from absorbing his power.", Huang Wen who saw Chen Yao's disappointment tried to console her.

"But how do we kill it, if we can see it?", Chen Yao asked.

"Have you try to use your third eye skill?", said Huang Wen.

"Ah... that skill... are you saying we can use that skill to see the invisible demons?", Chen Yao began to feel excited again.

"Yes... just try it, you just have to keep it open and you won't have problem at hunting low level demon.", Huang Wen felt happy for her too.

Chen Yao thought about something and said, "But, long before we saw that demon, there were few times when Zhang Xuan said that, she felt someone was watching us."

Huang Wen answered, "I called it spiritual sense, it's not like a third eye, with third eye you use your faculty of seeing to see them. With this sense, you just felt it. Are you saying that only Zhang Xuan could feel his presence back then?"

Chen Yao and Xia Yue nodded their head.

"Hmm... I thought everyone could sense them.", Huang Wen wondered.

"Maybe it is related to our spirit stats. Among the three of us, I happened to have the highest spirit stat. Chen Yao is excelled in physical stat, strength, stamina and agility. While Xia Yue's stats are more spread out.", said Zhang Xuan.

Huang Wen finally nodded, "I guess so."

Zhang Xuan sighed, "Ah... my physical is the worst among us right now..."

"Don't worry. I'll catch a low level demon for you.", Huang Wen tried to comfort her.

"Would you?", Zhang Xuan's eyes shone.

"Sure...", Huang Wen answered confidently.

For a little while their eyes locked and they exchanged meaningful look without words, making Xia Yue and Chen Yao felt a bit awkward. Xia Yue coughed several times making Huang Wen and Zhang Xuan blushed and Chen Yao giggled.

Suddenly Chen Yao spoke seriously, "But how about you... you've killed two strong demon and that Baihu it seemed he's really strong. As we travel toward Zhang Xuan's home, we might meet more demons on the way. If you keep killing demons.... sooner or later... wouldn't you turn into a demon?"

"There shouldn't be many demon as strong as Baihu or that perverted demon, right?", Zhang Xuan asked feeling worry.

Huang Wen shrugged his shoulder, "Can't say about that... but so far, I'm still in control. I mean I could feel, that whatever that was left from them, stirred in me. I think it happened when something that really important for them when they live. I think as long as I can control it, then there should be no problem. In some cases, it actually helps."

"When Baihu came, I felt under tremendous pressure, but his presence also stirred the pervert demon's territorial instinct and it helped me to incite my anger and fought the mental pressure that was coming from Baihu.", Huang Wen shared.

He could feel that his explanation didn't completely erase their fear, so he added, "I will try my best to find a way, to free myself from them. I will feel much better when I know for sure they're not around within me."

He thought about the passive skill he gained from killing Baihu, Bloodlust, 'Should I tell them about it...?'

"There is something else...", he hesitated, they already feared him without him telling them the skill.

When Zhang Xuan saw he was hesitating, she squeezed his hand gently, "Don't worry, you can tell us about it. We knew you're not a bad person. From now on, our fate are bound, whatever problem you are facing, we will face it together."

Huang Wen nodded his head gratefully, "Well... when I kill Baihu, I got this passive skill. You know that we could only learn 3 active skills but there is no limit for passive skill, so it's quite beneficial but..."

"But what?", Chen Yao asked impatiently.

"This skill is called Bloodlust, as I fight, I will become stronger. The longer the fight is, the greater my strength would be but it cost spirit points and when my spirit points reached zero, I would enter berserk state, lose all consciousness and turn into killing machine he couldn't tell the difference between friends and enemies. I would kill any living being within my sight until my stamina reached zero.", Huang Wen shrugged his shoulder and explained.

"That's extremely dangerous! And you planned to keep it from us?", Chen Yao leaped and unconsciously walked away from Huang Wen.

Huang Wen sighed, "I tell you now... I never planned to keep it from you, since you're going to travel with me. I just wait for the right time."

Zhang Xuan said to Chen Yao, "He told us before we made the journey with him and it's not like he plans to have that skill."

Chen Yao realized her overreaction and sat back to her place, "Sorry..."

"Its okay... I also think that skill is pretty stupid. I mean once I ran out of stamina, there is nothing I could do but waiting for one of the zombies killed me easily. Even worse that I can't choose whether I'm going to use the skill or not. After fighting for a certain period of time, the skill would be automatically activated.", Huang Wen smiled bitterly.

"You should use any points you have to improve your spirit stat, for now, that's the only way to prevent an accident to happen.", Zhang Xuan said determinedly.

Huang Wen gave it a thought and then nodded his head, "Yes... you're right."

He dropped himself on the bed and lamented, ".. Ugh... last time I got points from killing Baihu, I spend it on my strength because I was thinking about his bastard sword..."

"Don't worry... we'll be fine. As long as we don't meet any strong demon, we could fight in turn and keep you from activating the skill.", Zhang Xuan comforted him.

"Hmm... yes, I think Zhang Xuan is right... we could prevent you from entering the berserk state. I was overreacting back then... sorry...", Chen Yao apologized once again, she could see how that skill burdened Huang Wen too.

Huang Wen slowly got up and tried to smile, "Nah... I should thank you girls instead..."

Xia Yue clapped her hand, "So we're all set right? When are we going to go?"

Everyone turned to Huang Wen, but Huang Wen turned to Zhang Xuan instead, "Its your family we're talking here. You set the time. We'll follow."

Zhang Xuan pretended to think about it. Actually she had decided it when she slept with Huang Wen. She seemed hesitated and then lifted her head and said, "First, we should make a sign, telling people that we're leaving to my home. I still believe that as soon as my father can, he will try to save us and head toward this dormitory. So we need to leave some message to tell him where we're going."

"Hmm.. that's wise.", said Huang Wen.

Zhang Xuan blushed a bit, "We're leaving tomorrow. It a bit too late to start the journey today. Mean while we make that sign and level up. Tomorrow, early in the morning we will start the journey. What do you think about it? Chen Yao? Xia Yue?"

Chen Yao and Xia Yue nodded their head.

Chen Yao said, "I think that's a good plan. Okay let's start making that sign, how about using a bed sheet to write on it? We could hang it in the window."

Zhang Xuan turned to Huang Wen, "How many points of experience for you to reach another level?"

Huang Wen checked his stat and then answered, "135 points."

"Leave this to us then, you could go and get those points. Do you think you could reach the next level before tomorrow?", said Zhang Xuan.

Huang Wen gave it a thought and nodded his head, "Its possible."

"Then at least you will have 2 more points on your spirit by then.", Zhang Xuan smiled warmly.

"Okay then... I'll go now...", Huang Wen nodded.

He hesitated for a moment. He never had a girlfriend before so he wasn't sure how he should say goodbye. Besides there were Chen Yao and Xia Yue there but Zhang Xuan solved it for him. She leaned to him and gave him a light kiss on his cheek.

"Go now...", said Zhang Xuan.

Huang Wen smiled silly and waved his hand before he left the room. The girls secretly giggled at his awkwardness.

'So this is how it feels to have a girlfriend.', Huang Wen thought to himself as he left the room.

There were no zombies on the fourth, third and second floor. He walked all the way to the first floor and saw the zombies began to run away from him with their slow and awkward movement.

Huang Wen shook his head, "Tsk... sorry girls..."

And he jumped into the crowd and began to swing his bastard sword. It took one point of stamina just to swing it, but every time he swung it. It sliced through three to four zombies and killed them instantly. Killing zombies might be slow but it put him at no risk at all, since none of them fought back. Every zombies tried to run away from him. At the same time Huang Wen slowly count numbers, to measure how long it took before the Bloodlust activated.

He didn't feel good about slaughtering girls, even when they already became zombies. He hated it more because it stirred the pervert demon's twisted desire in him. But he didn't dare to leave the girls dormitory. He worried that if something happened and the girls were in danger, he won't be close enough to help them. So he gritted his teeth, suppressed his conscience and tried to ignore the twisted satisfaction that came from the pervert demon's residue within him.

By the time the Bloodlust activated, he began to feel the cruel and sadistic satisfaction that came from Baihu's soul residue.

This time it was even stronger and Huang Wen could understand how come the skill consumed his spirit points, since indeed he needed to put his mind to control Baihu's exhilarating joy from killing.

After he chased and killed about 30 zombies, Huang Wen stopped and rested. It wasn't because he was running out of stamina, but rather he was afraid that he would lose control over himself. He was increasingly worried about the demon's residue within him.

'I need to find a way to completely destroyed them... or at least find a way to actually control them. Otherwise, I could feel that one day they can take over my mind and my body.', he thought to himself.

'Even now, can I say that I am the same person as soon as I absorbed their strength? The only thing that makes me able to tell that it isn't me but them, is my memory. My memory about who I was, not who I am. If I be honest with myself, it should be said that they already become part of who I am right now. The one who has this twisted desire... isn't it me?', he kept thinking about his current situation.

'What should I do now....? It might be who I am, but I definitely don't like the direction I'm going right now. Back then, when I was doing it to Zhang Xuan, there was part of me who want to savagely do her... so much that it scared me... If I didn't notice fear within her voice when she pleads back then, I might lose control over myself....', he walked back and forth.

When he felt the Bloodlust deactivated, he began to chase zombies again but his mind still worrying about his current situation, "Will I turn into a demon?"
