Despite the unexpected reunion, Erin couldn't bring herself to be happy.
She never imagined her crime value would be as high as "2314"—even higher than Zhou Chen's. It was a bit hard for her to accept.
A high crime value wasn't exactly a badge of honor.
Zhou Chen stroked his chin, analyzing the situation. "It seems the crime value is also related to the cruelty of the methods used. I killed a ton of Corrupters, but my techniques were all pretty simple. Not as cruel as yours, so my crime value isn't as high."
"Don't..." Erin couldn't help but cover her face in her hands.
"It's okay." Zhou Chen ruffled her hair, then gently pulled her into a hug, comforting her. "Relax. Don't take it to heart. Just think of it as a game. If you really can't accept it, I can try to use hypnosis on you."
Feeling the warmth of Zhou Chen's solid chest, Erin gradually began to relax. She shook her head softly. "No, it's fine. I'm not that weak. I'm just... just not used to it yet."
