Li Chengyi couldn't shake the strange feeling from the last time he’d been home. The surge of malice that had appeared out of nowhere, only to vanish just as abruptly, had left him unsettled.
Even though the malice had ultimately dissipated, allowing him to absorb it and resolve any immediate danger, its sudden appearance and disappearance left him feeling uneasy.
He’d tested his ability to absorb malice; it only worked within a range of about 30 meters. This meant that at his house, within that radius, someone had suddenly harbored a deep, terrifying malice toward him, only for it to vanish inexplicably.
Such intense fluctuations in emotion didn’t seem normal—no ordinary person could harbor such volatile feelings so abruptly. This left Li Chengyi wondering if this mysterious person might have a mental instability.
