I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Seventeen... Seventeen... Wait for me." Reinas shouted weakly from behind, carrying the basket.

"If you exceed the time limit, your wages will be deducted." Luo Shiqi walked in front without looking back, without slowing down at all.

"I... I know, but I'm hungry..." Renas ran to Luo Shiqi panting and spoke subconsciously.

Luo Shiqi stopped and turned to look at her: "Didn't you just say that you couldn't eat and asked me to help you solve it?"

"Ah, well, you're a boy, and you have a big appetite. I was afraid you wouldn't be full when you first arrived—" Reinas seemed a little guilty, her eyes dodging, not daring to look up at him.

"You are not being humble, you are being stupid. At any time, satisfying your own needs should be your first priority." After saying that, Luo Shiqi continued on his way.

"I know. I'm sorry!" Reinas quickly caught up with him. "By the way, you're not angry, are you? I thought you would at least be moved with red eyes, or scold me for not taking care of myself."

"Hmm? What does this have to do with your hunger?" Luo Shiqi asked sincerely.

"Your attitude is really cold." Renas looked very hurt. "Although rational analysis is a good thing, you are too unfamiliar with me. You don't even have the most basic humanistic care."

"Humanitarian care, what is that? Can it help you fill your stomach?"

"No." For some reason, Renas was deeply shocked.

"Then don't worry about any humanitarian concern. If you don't want to be hungry anymore, just deliver the things first." Luo Shiqi's tone was still very flat, without any emotion.

That night, Luo Shiqi waited for Lenas to come back in the dilapidated house, but the time took much longer than expected.

When he couldn't help falling asleep, Renas limped back home, covered in wounds.

"Have you received your wages for today?" Luo Shiqi asked in a cold tone.

"Shouldn't you take care of me first in this situation?" Renas sat down on the broken straw mat in frustration, her tone no longer lively as it was during the day: "The other party refused to admit it and even had someone beat me up."

"I'm sorry for making you starve with me. I can't work until my injuries heal, and I have no money to buy medicine. How about we go to the relief center to get some bread to fill our stomachs?" She had a tearful expression. Although she was obviously covered in wounds from being beaten, her eyes were full of self-blame.

"Aren't you exchanging your labor for compensation? How can you unilaterally go back on your word?" Luo Shiqi's tone, which had always been as emotionless as the surface of a frozen lake, finally showed a hint of surprise.

Surprisingly, he still had no sympathy for the person in front of him.

"This kind of thing happens all the time. Before the High Priest rectified the situation, the lives of people like us were even more miserable. We often had to pick up garbage to eat."

Without hearing any words of concern about her injuries, Reinas felt relieved: "Don't worry, just make sure you can get the bread. I'm used to this kind of life, and I won't die anytime soon."

"Death - does it mean these injuries?" Luo Shiqi grabbed her most seriously injured hand without any expression.

Then, the body radiated light, and Renas felt a warm power surge into her body. The pain was relieved and the scars were constantly repaired.

By the time she came to her senses, her body had fully recovered, even her old injuries had healed.

"Will it be fine after treatment?" Luo Shiqi said in his voice that was so calm without any fluctuation, as if it was a matter of course.

"Is this magic? Are you a magician? Let me make it clear in advance that I didn't ask you to help with the treatment. It was you who took the initiative. I can't afford it." Renas was stunned for a long time before she reacted. Her subconscious reaction was to prevent being charged high medical bills.

"No need for reward for a helpful task. Rather, tell me the address of that family." He stood up and looked down at Renas.

"Oh, okay..." This was the first time she realized that the emotionless man in front of her was actually very tall.

"Please spare my life. I won't dare to do it again! Please let me go!" Under the golden firelight, the rich man who had just had someone beat up Reinas with a gloomy face and several of his thugs all knelt on the ground, begging Luo Shiqi desperately to let them go.

"Those who violate the contract should be punished." His tone was still calm, but the golden flame in his hand burst out with terrifying power, burning the rich man's house to ashes.

Luo Shiqi beat up the men and took back the reward that belonged to them. He also helped Reinas get back the "medical expenses" she mentioned, but the process was a bit violent.

"It's over, it's over. Although I'm happy to have taught that fat pig a lesson, you can't use magic to hurt people in Atlantis. You will be captured soon!" As soon as they returned to the broken thatched hut, Renas began to nag about something that Luo Shiqi couldn't understand.

"That's what I did to get my reward. You should be happy to get back what belongs to you." Luo Shiqi said this expressionlessly, but it quickly caused dissatisfaction.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's my responsibility for not telling you these things in advance. Besides, we are a family. How could I abandon you?" Lenas said loudly.

"Family? What is that?" A puzzled expression appeared on Luo Shiqi's neutral and handsome face.

"What a loving sister and brother! Just stay in jail!" At this time, the fat and big-eared rich man rushed in with a row of guards. He looked so majestic, without any trace of the look he had when he was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Luo Shiqi was holding a golden flame and was about to launch an attack when a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Master Priest?"

"You've got the wrong person. That's not my name." Luo Shiqi said indifferently.

"Ah, so you're a man. But you look like the same as the High Priest. Could you be her family member?" The guard who spoke looked at Luo Shiqi's neutral face with a nervous tone.

"What exactly is family?" Luo Shiqi looked at Lenas, only to find that she was in a daze.

"It turns out that you are different from me and have somewhere to go." Renas looked at him with an extremely sad expression.

"Seventeen, Seventeen, what's wrong with you?" Everything in front of me gradually became blurred, and the voice of Lycoris radiata calling me rang in my ears.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Manjushage shook Luo Shiqi's body desperately, anxiously hoping that he would respond.

Finally, Luo Shiqi's golden eyes shook, and he subconsciously asked: "What's wrong with me?"

"You suddenly became motionless and didn't respond no matter how I called you. You were even crying just now!" Seeing that he was fine, Manjushage finally felt relieved.

"Tears?" Luo Shiqi wiped away his tears, obviously confused.

There was a line of words written on the wall in front of him. Even if he couldn't read it, he could understand it instantly: Lennas Lo

Was that my memory just now? This is the grave of Renas, my sister.

"Seventeen, are you okay?" Seeing his serious expression, Manjushage asked worriedly.

"Well, I'm sorry to have made you worry." Luo Shiqi tried to keep his tone steady: "I already know the identity of the tomb's owner. Her name is Renas, and she is my...family."

He uttered these words with some difficulty, his voice still trembling unconsciously.

"We didn't find a coffin in this tomb, only some burial objects. Could it be a mistake? Your family is still alive?" Doyle asked with concern.

The tomb chamber was very spacious, with hundreds of lifelike dolls taking up half of the space, and the remaining burial objects were mostly gold, silver and jewelry.

It is really strange that there is no owner of such a magnificent tomb.

"She didn't die, but turned into a monster." Luo Shiqi said in a deep voice.

"This - is there no possibility of changing back?" Doyle was a little incoherent.

Luo Shiqi shook his head, and the answer was naturally no.
