Although he could suppress it, its occasional appearance made not only studying, but even normal life, a problem.

“I can’t let outsiders find out, otherwise they might think I’m sick. If I get sent to the hospital, my parents will find out… Damn it, if this thought really is related to my reincarnation, then it’s done me a huge favor. In that case, I’ll listen to it this once and see what exactly it wants from me.” With his expression changing drastically, Brian Carter quickly weighed his options and gradually gave up resisting, instead preparing to follow the guidance of the thought and go out once.

When this idea flashed through his mind, Brian Carter suddenly froze again.

Previously, when he resisted the thought, its oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger, to the point where it was about to take over his consciousness and forcibly control his body to go to that place.

But now, as soon as he was willing to go, the thought actually weakened. Although it still lingered in his mind, its strength quickly faded, turning from a forceful oppression to a faint presence, almost having no effect on him anymore.

“Weird.”

A strange look flashed in his eyes again. After standing dazed for a few breaths, he finally got dressed and got up, slowly walking out of the dormitory, his steps astonishingly slow.

Even walking was a form of rest.

He was just an ordinary teenager now. After studying hard all afternoon, he was already exhausted, and after cultivating for a while, he was both tired and hungry. On top of that, he had struggled against the thought for so long, the pain was intense. He was truly so tired now that he just wanted to collapse into bed, even walking was a struggle.

However, as he walked, he naturally operated his cultivation technique to absorb spiritual energy. Even though the surrounding spiritual energy was so thin it was almost non-existent, Brian Carter still quietly recovered as he moved slowly.

After an hour, he had walked a distance of a thousand meters, finally recovering to his normal state.

And at this moment, the guidance sensed from the thought also reached its destination.

Following the guidance, Brian Carter was completely astonished—supermarket!

This thing had actually led him to a large supermarket on the main street, more than a thousand meters from the county’s No. 1 High School.

Standing outside the supermarket, dazed for a few breaths, Brian Carter still walked in. He could only move forward; if he tried to turn back, the thought would become violent. He could resist and even suppress it, but that kind of pain was not suitable to experience in a crowded place.

Following the guidance, he entered the supermarket, passed through it all the way to the checkout at the exit, and only then did the thought suddenly change.

“Kill her, kill her, it will be greatly beneficial to you!”

What had originally just been a guiding thought suddenly turned into something else. Following the sensation, Brian Carter looked up and immediately saw, just a few steps away, a girl of about eighteen or nineteen standing and working, helping customers check out.

And the message conveyed by the thought was for Brian Carter to kill this girl—kill her, and there would be great benefits!

It wasn’t someone speaking in his mind, but rather an indescribable fluctuation of thought, which Brian Carter interpreted as this meaning.

“It didn’t bring me to the supermarket, but to find this woman and then kill her?”

Brian Carter was truly astonished. Killing wasn’t a big deal to him; in his previous life, he had done it far too many times. Fighting and killing all day long, murder was just routine, because many times, if he didn’t kill, he would be the one to die.

So killing—meant nothing.

But…

This thing had appeared so strongly and strangely, and its ultimate goal was to have him kill a seemingly gentle cashier girl?

“Damn.”

Understanding this, Brian Carter cursed inwardly.

He had struggled just to walk here, forced by this bizarre thought to come and take a look, and the result left him speechless.

Killing was easy, but having the fortune to live again, his greatest wish now was to make his parents proud, to hand them a satisfactory report card in a few months, not to have them watch him become a murderer.

Chapter 6: That Person Is Still Following

“Can’t kill.”

Brian Carter firmly rejected it. Not only did he have no enmity with the girl in front of him, but there was also no need for a life-or-death struggle just to get out of here. Most importantly, he absolutely could not kill someone here and then immediately become a fugitive.

If his parents saw that, how would they react?

Just thinking about it, he couldn’t accept it.

After rejecting it, Brian Carter was mentally prepared for the thought to retaliate, ready to struggle against it. But unexpectedly, this time, after his rejection, the thought did not become stronger.

It just kept repeating, constantly disturbing his thoughts.

Again and again, it surged in his mind, as if someone was whispering in his ear: kill her, kill her, kill her and you’ll get great benefits.

Although this was a bit annoying, Brian Carter was actually delighted. As long as it didn’t forcibly control his consciousness, as long as it wasn’t as violent as before, forcing him to resist with sheer willpower, then a little annoyance was really nothing.

“If it’s not forcibly controlling me, a little annoyance is nothing to worry about. So can I leave now?”

Delighted, Brian Carter turned and left. What he feared most was that, while struggling against the thought, he might look like he was having a sudden serious illness, and if someone noticed, he might be sent to the hospital, which would worry his parents.

If not for this concern, he really wouldn’t bother staying here any longer.
