Simply kill him? That would be no problem at all, and given the grudges entwining the beast's body, he certainly deserved to die. Even by the Necromancer's moral standards, he was due for death, and killing him would not cause Chen Yu any psychological burden.

Moreover, making a critically ill patient like this one die without anyone noticing was far too easy. Chen Yu only needed to meddle a little with his body and he wouldn't even need to use Necromancer's methods—wound infection, organ failure, cardiac arrest... There were far too many ways to end his miserable life.

As a Necromancer, Chen Yu never minded killing, nor did he feel that taking a life would cause him any psychological burden. He would also not stand on a moral high ground to condemn others for killing.

If slaughtering ten million people could advance him into the Legendary realm or even higher, Chen Yu would delightfully wipe out Tokyo's ten million residents, and make sure that every single one of them died willingly.

For a Necromancer, killing was merely a means to return life to death—whether it was to exact revenge or to kill indiscriminately, it all culminated in returning life to death. Therefore, to a Necromancer, a murderer's existence was meaningless, merely a ripple in the grand scheme of the Unity of All Things' return to death.

Yet, Chen Yu detested killing without reason, or to put it plainly, killing just to satisfy oneself.

In his view, life was meaningful. Even though, according to the beliefs and theories of Necromancers, all things would unify and life would ultimately return to death, the existence of life must have its significance. To him, even as a Necromancer, a meaningless death was a waste.

Killing merely for self-gratification, creating slaughter and death for that sole purpose, such a person was nothing but a beast, a murderer—Chen Yu saw no reason for such a person to continue living after killing.

I must wait for him to wake up so the police can question him about his testimony regarding the fire, then decide how to deal with him," Chen Yu said while mopping the floor, discussing a matter concerning thirty lives, which made Jounouchi Hiromi watching him mop feel rather absurd.

However, she quickly expelled such thoughts from her mind and looked at Chen Yu seriously, saying, "Although people like him deserve to die, can you please not kill him, Mr. Chen Yu? I don't want you to be the one to do it. I..."

Jounouchi Hiromi didn't know why she wanted to prevent Chen Yu from killing. Knowing his identity as a Necromancer, Jounouchi Hiromi understood that killing was not unusual for Chen Yu, but still, she didn't want him to be the one to do it, even if she had to do it herself.

"Even if you didn't say so, Hiromi, I had already discarded the idea of killing him myself. A beast like him should pay the price he deserves before dying. It would be too easy on him to just kill him directly." Smiling at his fiancée, he put the mop back and wrapped his arms around Jounouchi Hiromi's waist, explaining to her.

Chen Yu could understand Jounouchi Hiromi's inclination against him committing murder, considering that both she and he had been under the influence of modern social moral standards for at least twenty to thirty years. If he had not become a Necromancer, murder should have been far removed from their lives.

"So what do you plan to do with this murderer, Mr. Chen Yu? Just call the police?" Jounouchi Hiromi's first thought regarding a murderer was to alert the authorities.

"There's no evidence; calling the police would be useless. I can't exactly tell them that because I'm a Necromancer and can see resentment, this person is a murderer, can I? Such words can't serve as evidence and would be dismissed by the police as nonsense," Chen Yu shook his head, rejecting the suggestion. "Let's wait for him to wake up.

I will have the Mingyue Society monitor him, gather evidence, and then hand it over to the police. Only then can he be brought to justice and made to pay for his crimes."

"Yes, that's best. We can't kill him, but we can't let a murderer go unpunished either," Jounouchi Hiromi nodded emphatically, showing her agreement with Chen Yu's approach.

Embracing Jounouchi Hiromi, Chen Yu let out a sigh, "It's a pity I'm not an Astrologer. Otherwise, this matter would be much simpler. I could use Divination to find clues and evidence, and hand this beast over to the police directly."
