Chapter 110: The God-Like Wen Xishu

Visibility inside the supermarket is quite low; it is an extremely dim environment. Although light shines in from outside, it is like a mud ox entering the sea, vanishing without a trace.

Wen Xishu discovered something very strange. Logically, in a doomsday environment, the food section that was once filled with a dazzling array of goods should, according to stereotypes, only have empty shelves and some gnawed-upon packaging remains left.

But this supermarket... the items on the shelves are neatly arranged.

It has practically not suffered any looting. However, there are only twenty-four shopping carts, a number Wen Xishu feels is quite peculiar.

He speculates that in the Trick Tower scenario, this supermarket should be closer to the gameplay of a museum.

Seeing Wen Xishu frowning in thought, Xun Hui says:

"The goods on the shelves seem to regenerate periodically. Some absurd rules only exist in the Trick Tower, but by the time they reach the Slaughter Tower, one or two might still be retained."

Wen Xishu nods:

"But logically, if a monster is killed, its obsession should be eliminated, and the rules condensed by its obsession should also disappear, right?"

Xun Hui does not speak; this is actually a blind spot in his knowledge.

"Are these goods the last batch? From now on, once the shelves are cleared, they won't be replenished, right?"

Xun Hui is still unsure.

But these words from Wen Xishu do make Xun Hui realize something is wrong.

In the battle just now, that monster that looked like a shop assistant kept throwing various goods at him, and the goods on the shelves were once cleared out.

But now, the goods on the shelves are full again, neat and packed.

"No, that monster dressed like a shop assistant kept throwing goods from the shelves during the fight with me. The goods were originally cleared out, and it was the same when I killed it, but now, these goods have been replenished once."

Wen Xishu’s brow furrows even deeper:

"Are we really lucky enough to encounter such a good thing? Could it be that we’ve stumbled upon a place where we can farm supplies infinitely?"

In the Slaughter Tower, when you feel there is danger, you don't need to doubt it, because danger will inevitably arrive.

When you feel that something good is happening, you had better stay clear-headed and think about whether it is truly a good thing.

"Let's try to start a campfire first," Wen Xishu says.

Xun Hui prepares to activate his ability to start a campfire.

The other three do not respond, as they do not know what to say.

Yue Yun now only feels that Wen Xishu has already surpassed them too much in terms of mental fortitude. And his thinking is more comprehensive as well.

This makes him realize that even in the Slaughter Tower, it is not enough to just be able to fight.

Xiao Jin’s focus is actually still on Wen Xishu’s items.

"My attributes should be quite a bit higher than Brother Wen’s, and my items are also very powerful. The attributes of that boomerang blade definitely wouldn't lose to anyone else's items."

"But actually... the final kill wasn't me; it was Brother Wen Xun who killed the monster. Too amazing. There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven. But how exactly did Brother Wen Xun manage it?"

"Could that item be of the orange grade? He hasn't climbed the Slaughter Tower, yet he can possess an orange-grade item that can be used in the Slaughter Tower?"

Xiao Jin only feels that everything about Brother Wen Xun cannot be explained by common sense.

[Cannot start a campfire here.]

Xun Hui’s process of starting a campfire actually failed. He becomes alert immediately; this area has not been cleared!

"Shh! Don't speak!"

Xun Hui lowers his voice. At the same time, he puts distance between himself and Wen Xishu and the others, and completely releases his aura.

That immense pressure is completely different from when they were in the bunker; it feels as if it has materialized, making it difficult for Wen Xishu and the others to even breathe.

Xiao Jin feels cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. This Senior Xun’s strength is indeed far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Be careful, slowly retreat from the supermarket area. I was negligent; there is still a monster hiding here. But it’s strange, I can’t sense its aura. Now I can only let it sense me."

Xun Hui’s voice is very low, but everyone can hear it.

The four of them, including Wen Xishu, all become vigilant. This high-level Slaughter Tower truly allows for no moment of relaxation. Even starting a campfire is so difficult.

The four of them move their feet cautiously.

At this moment, Wen Xishu says:

"There are plant vines on the shelves. Senior Xun, could the enemy not be an animal, but a plant?"

A plant?

Xun Hui has truly never encountered this situation. It is true that in some areas of the Slaughter Tower, such as places that are more natural, like forests or woodlands, there will be various mutated plants.

But this place is a supermarket, a city center; how could there be such plants?

Mutated plants are generally much weaker than mutated animals. Some plants, like man-eating flowers, are very dangerous, but they do not move.

Xun Hui recalls that when he was killing the shop assistant, he also saw many plant vines.

"Since we haven't been attacked so far, does it mean that we haven't actually entered the monster's attack range? Is it deeper inside the supermarket?"

Wen Xishu analyzes while slowly moving his feet with the other three.

The light inside the supermarket is dim, but his eyesight is astonishing, and he can still see some things. There are indeed vines here, but those vines do not have any vitality; they look as if they have withered.

Xun Hui attempts to walk inside. At this time, Wen Xishu and the others are technically barely in Area A of the supermarket, near the checkout area.

If one goes deep into the supermarket, one must head toward Area B. Xun Hui heads toward Area B, while Wen Xishu and the others head toward the outer perimeter of Area A, near the supermarket entrance.

But what the few of them do not know is that outside the supermarket, terrifying vines are wrapping around the entire outer perimeter of the supermarket like crazily crawling snakes.

At the entrance of the supermarket, hundreds of vines with sharp thorns have already appeared.

They are lurking at the edge of the supermarket’s entrance doors.

If one looks outside from inside the supermarket, one cannot see them.

"One of the monster's characteristics: it cannot be sensed, even Senior Xun Hui cannot sense it... Characteristic two: it shouldn't appear here."

"It is precisely because it shouldn't appear here that it led to Senior Xun’s misjudgment, thinking this place was safe, because this does not conform to the ecological distribution of the Slaughter Tower’s monsters."

"Characteristic three: this monster and the supermarket’s original elite-level or boss-level... should be incompatible. They are considered to be in a hostile relationship."

"Those vines are withered, which shows that those vines were likely broken by the supermarket’s original guardian? But for some reason, the plants seem unable to do anything to the original monster?"

"Wait."

Wen Xishu seems to have thought of something.

He does not continue walking outside, but stops to observe.

"Are we not continuing to leave?" Nisen asks.

Wen Xishu shakes his head:

"Wait a little longer."

On the other side, Xun Hui has now penetrated deep into Area B. Unlike Wen Xishu’s side, Xun Hui in Area B has already begun a fierce battle.

In Area B, countless vines, like death worms in the desert, emerge from the ground, stabbing at Xun Hui with agility and precision.

Even though Xun Hui’s reaction speed is very fast, facing a monster whose heartbeat and breathing cannot be sensed, and in a situation where there is almost no light in Area B, he is occasionally scratched by the hooks on the rapidly passing vines.

In that very instant, Xun Hui feels a certain power within his body being absorbed by the vines.

A slight graze can have such an obvious effect. Xun Hui has no doubt that if he were directly pierced by the vines, he would likely be drained dry in an instant.

His five senses are fully open, and he is in a state of high alert.

There were a few times when Xun Hui tried to counterattack, but he did not find where the plant’s main body was. He could rely on his reaction speed, which is so strong it could be called abnormal, to tear the vines apart directly.

But there are too many vines here; the price of tearing the vines apart is likely that a portion of the power within his body is absorbed.

And for the main body of this eerie plant, it is completely painless and itchy.

Xun Hui’s combat strategy is not wrong: he must continue to go deeper, dodge every strike amidst the increasing number of vine attacks, and then find the plant’s main body.

Of course, one could also consider burning it down with a fire.

However, Xun Hui is still somewhat confident that he can deal with the monster; it will just take a little time. After all... he has the Super Sequence: Realm of No-Self, which cannot be attacked.

"I must be even more vigilant."

Area B is an almost completely dark environment. Activating the Realm of No-Self will cause Xun Hui to consume a large amount of stamina; he will not activate it easily unless absolutely necessary.

Originally, he didn't need to activate No-Self to kill that shop assistant; it was only because there was suddenly an unexpected kill count that he began to worry about Wen Xishu and the others.

The vines crisscrossing in the space and constantly stabbing at Xun Hui are getting faster and more numerous, but correspondingly, Xun Hui’s figure is also getting faster.

If there were enough visibility at this moment, Wen Xishu and the others would see Xun Hui’s super-terrifying speed, which is almost enough to see afterimages.

And until now, Xun Hui has not drawn his sword.

Xun Hui is not sure if this plant has combat intelligence, so he will not fully expose his combat methods before coming into contact with its main body.

It’s just that although Xun Hui is still holding back his strength and has energy left to spare, this eerie plant seems to be the same; the closer one gets to its main body, the stronger the resistance becomes.

The speed at which he searches for the plant’s main body has also slowed down. As the vines continue to increase, Xun Hui also realizes... his forward pace is constantly slowing.

He frowns slightly:

"I'm not sure how many more levels the resistance of these vines can increase. Should I take a gamble?"

Xun Hui’s idea is to either activate No-Self and make a head-on charge. The benefit of this approach is that once No-Self is activated, the enemy cannot attack him, and all the vine walls will be as good as non-existent.

But the downside is... if he cannot find the plant’s main body, once No-Self ends, he will likely fall into a huge predicament and be trapped by even stronger vines deep inside.

For a moment, Xun Hui is also somewhat hesitant.

Supermarket Area A.

"Wow, I heard the sound of Senior Xun fighting those vines... This terrifying frequency is like a sonic boom. He is too strong, but... we seem to be in danger too. Are we really not leaving here?" Xiao Jin says.

Wen Xishu shakes his head:

"Don't you find it strange?"

Yue Yun thinks for a moment and says tentatively:

"Are you referring to... the vines near these shelves?"

Wen Xishu nods:

"Hmm, these vines have been withered for a long time. It’s clear that a long, long time ago, these vines tried to invade this area, but they always failed."

"The owner of the vines, that strange plant, likely possesses a modicum of intelligence—not much, but at least enough to know how to seek advantages and avoid harm. So, it took root in Area B of the supermarket."

"If someone invaded your territory, would you coexist with them?"

Wen Xishu looked at Yue Yun.

Yue Yun shook his head:

"Of course you have to drive them out."

Wen Xishu said:

"Yes, you have to drive them out, but the monster in Area A, the original owner of the supermarket area, didn't drive it out. The reason is, in all likelihood... he couldn't."

"Secondly, this is an urban area. It actually lacks the conditions for such a massive plant to survive. After it became a strange creature, logically speaking, it would need more nutrients. Where would these nutrients come from?"

It was still Yue Yun who answered:

"The shelves?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, the shelves. It occupied Area B, which was enough to provide it with plenty of energy. The guardian of the supermarket was the first monster Senior Xun dealt with—the one Senior Xun described as a shop assistant wearing a uniform."

"This monster fits the supermarket theme better. Its way of fighting was to select objects with aggressive properties from the shelves and throw them at its opponent."

"In Senior Xun's description, the opponent threw these objects frantically before it died, trying to smash the opponent to death through pure throwing, which was clearly unrealistic."

"So, among these goods, there likely existed items that could infect people with negative effects; in other words, it was magic damage."

"The goods in Area A, I imagine, were goods capable of contaminating others, so the energy-absorbing vines could only absorb the energy of the goods in Area B."

"On the shelves in Area B, there were many items, and these items were the source of nutrients that turned this plant into a strange plant. It relied on the goods in Area B, in a place where a plant shouldn't exist, to absorb nutrients little by little and evolve to its current level."

"And the plant wanted to continue expanding its territory, but unfortunately, the shelves in Area A were filled with things it dared not absorb. It had tried to absorb them once, and the result was that all those vines withered and died; it had to painfully sever those vines."

"So, as time went on, it formed a non-aggression pact with the original guardian of the supermarket. Of course, if Senior Xun Hui hadn't appeared here, given enough time, the strange plant would have become even more powerful."

"Because the rules of the supermarket seem to be that the owner here refills all the goods every time they refresh."

"In other words, the privilege rule granted to the area guardian in this zone is to refresh the goods and rely on them to keep getting stronger."

Wen Xishu bent down and picked up a vine covered in hooks; these hooks were like the mouthparts of insects.

"The strength of this strange plant is greater than the supermarket's guardian, but it is also afraid of absorbing the things on these shelves. These goods are its weakness. That is why it only absorbs the goods in Area B and not the goods in Area A."

"Now the original guardian is dead, and it has become the new guardian. This way, it can also control the refreshing of the goods. That is why, even though the shop assistant here is dead, the goods still refreshed."

"Presumably, in time, this plant would continuously absorb the nutrients in the supplies and grow into a more powerful monster, but now... it is about to die, because Senior Xun Hui is hunting it."

"And we can also contribute."

Far from retreating, Wen Xishu picked up the supplies on the shelf.

These supplies were all packed in cylindrical or cubic boxes; no one knew what would appear after opening them.

But they certainly weren't good things.

Wen Xishu said:

"The way this plant absorbs nutrients is passive; as long as the hooks on its vines scratch an item, it will absorb the nutrients. This is also why it didn't dare to attack us in Area A; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."

"It is afraid that the vines might accidentally absorb the things on the shelves. So, we just need to take these items and throw them at it."

Xiao Jin, Yue Yun, and the third person looked at each other, not expecting that in such a short time, Wen Xishu could grasp this information.

"You... how did you think of this? Bro, I thought you were like us, thinking about retreating!"

"Since we've come to the Slaughter Tower, of course we're thinking about killing the enemy."

As Wen Xishu spoke, he had already picked up the supplies, ready to throw them, but soon he put the goods back down.

Yue Yun said:

"Did something go wrong?"

Wen Xishu frowned:

"Actually, that supermarket shop assistant from before should have also thought of this way to deal with the plant, but its strength was far inferior to Senior Xun Hui's."

"It didn't dare to go deep into Area B... it didn't dare, and neither do I. It's a pity, I can only let Senior Xun Hui do this. What a shame."

The expression on Yue Yun's face as he looked at Wen Xishu was already a bit off:

"You... don't tell me you're still planning to kill it?"

"That is indeed what I was thinking." What Wen Xishu was thinking of was frantic throwing.

But on second thought, if this could kill the monster, then why didn't the shop assistant do it?

Clearly, the shop assistant didn't dare to go too deep. If even a monster of the elite species didn't dare, then as a newcomer, he naturally wouldn't dare either.

Wen Xishu had no choice but to leave the killing opportunity to Xun Hui.

In the dim shopping area, Yue Yun and Xiao Jin both noticed that Wen Xishu's expression was a bit regretful... he actually really wanted to kill a monster at the level of a regional guardian on the fifty-plus floors.

"Senior Xun! Don't be reckless, retreat! We have a way to kill it here!" Wen Xishu shouted loudly.

This voice passed through layers of vines and reached Xun Hui's ears.

Xun Hui was hesitating at that moment whether to activate his 'Selfless' state for a big move against a big move, when he immediately heard Wen Xishu's voice.

He didn't hesitate and decisively started to head back.

Going from the periphery deep inside, his steps became slower and slower, but killing his way out from the inside to the outside became easier and easier.

Before long, Xun Hui had retreated back to Area A, and he said in a deep voice:

"You guys, you actually haven't left yet?"

Wen Xishu said:

"Senior, don't treat us like dead weight; what if we happen to be useful?"

Xun Hui said:

"The monster in here is indeed a plant, and it's very hard to deal with. The main thing is that the process of getting close to it is really troublesome; its strength is much greater than the original guardian."

"It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

At this moment, Wen Xishu told Xun Hui the analysis he had just made.

After listening, Xun Hui was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Feasible, I'll try."

He was actually quite surprised that Wen Xishu had thought of this while he was busy fighting. Looking at it this way, this kid really had talent.

It wasn't purely relying on some treasure left behind by Wen Zhaohua, but he truly had the ability to interpret the situation.

Xun Hui didn't dawdle; he was very open to advice. No matter how powerful or weak the person giving the advice was, if it made sense, he listened; if it didn't, he rejected it.

He quickly tied various supplies together with rope, but he still felt there were too few supplies. Simply put, he tied the shelves of Area A together side-by-side, and then, relying on his astonishing strength, he dragged several rows of shelves along with the goods directly inside.

Even though this time it was a victory through strategy and wit, the fighting style still gave people a feeling of being simple and brutal.

Yue Yun quipped:

"If he could do it, he'd probably want to roll the entire Area A into a ball and throw it at Area B, right?"

Nisen nodded:

"This person's strength... should be able to do that, right!?"

Xiao Jin said:

"I feel like with you and Senior Xun combined, Brother Wen, the fifty-plus floors don't seem that difficult..."

Wen Xishu shook his head and said:

"This is only the beginning."

Wen Xishu didn't think this place was easy; in fact, Wen Xishu felt this place was more dangerous than the Strange Tower.

Although he had guessed some of the monster's characteristics, that was just good luck—he happened to encounter a monster that gave him time to guess and analyze.

It just so happened that the supermarket had this structure. If the scene had been different, with the same monster, they would already be dead.

In Area B, Xun Hui dragged several rows of shelves into Area B, and this indeed yielded results.

At first, the plant vines would attack Xun Hui, but Xun Hui dodged lightly, and then those vines inadvertently scratched the goods on the shelves.

Before long... these vines began to squirm irregularly, like cockroaches sprayed with insecticide, starting to run around wildly before crashing into the walls. The vines lashed out at their surroundings in the area space, no longer as methodical as they were at the beginning.

Xun Hui felt that these goods were indeed, as Wen Xishu said, capable of causing harm to the plant.

He became confident and charged more fiercely into the depths of Area B.

With these goods, plus the threat of the aura he emitted toward the monster... this strange plant was in a state of contradiction.

Its limited intelligence made it feel the need to attack the enemy, because this enemy's threat was much greater than the original owner of the area.

But at the same time, it didn't dare to attack those goods that were harmful to it.

Back and forth, its movements slowed down, and this slowing down allowed Xun Hui to enter as if there were no one there.

Finally, in the pitch-black depths of Area B, where layers of vines guarded, a light appeared.

That was something like a spirit, the foundation and soul of this strange plant.

Xun Hui didn't have any hesitation; he summoned an orange-level sword from his item bar, dropped from the fifty-fifth floor.

His way of using the sword was not to stab, but to throw.

He gathered all his strength into his arm and then fiercely projected the sword. The orange flying sword turned into a streak of light, shooting directly toward that glimmer of light.

A scratch appeared on the ground; the terrifying flying sword cut through Area B and even one hundred and fifty meters outside the supermarket.

The flying sword finally returned to Xun Hui's hand, the blade stained with a green, viscous liquid, like bile.

But gradually, it turned into white smoke and dissipated from the sword.

Xun Hui took a deep breath, knowing he had completed the kill.

Kill count, 3.

This time it was an undisputed boss-level monster; Xun Hui had directly completed one-fifth of his goal.

However, he also realized he needed to rest; although his kill count hadn't reached the limit yet, it was definitely not enough to kill another boss-level monster.

……

……

In the dim supermarket, there was finally firelight.

This was also the first time Wen Xishu had seen a campfire. The group was at the edge of Zone A and Zone B; the light from the campfire wasn't enough to reach the outside, but inside, it provided some visibility.

The campfire's flame was small, about the size of a basketball, and it didn't need firewood. Looking over, one could see a ball of fire suspended half a meter in the air. As long as there were Bunker people nearby, the campfire would burn continuously.

And once there were no Bunker players around, the campfire would automatically disappear after twenty-four hours.

Wen Xishu and his group sat by the campfire, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

"The campfire is a temporary safe zone. I wouldn't say it's absolutely safe, but where a campfire is lit, the possibility of wanderers exploring is greatly reduced."

"At the same time, within the campfire's range, your kill count decreases by five percent every hour, and your stamina recovers accordingly," said Yueyun.

Considering that Wen Xun was actually lighting a campfire for the first time, Yueyun told Wen Xun everything he knew.

Mostly because...

He seemed to only be able to have some sense of presence in this kind of place.

Wen Xishu's performance was completely unlike someone entering the Slaughter Tower for the first time; so far, they had killed a rare species, an elite species, and a boss-level one.

Wen Xishu had contributed to both the rare species and the boss-level one.

Xun Hui said:

"I need to sleep here. None of you go out; wake me up if anything happens. Also, discuss everything with Wen Xun."

The last sentence was clearly an acknowledgment of Wen Xishu's ability.

After saying this, Xun Hui closed his eyes directly, leaning against a shelf to rest, and it was unclear if he had fallen asleep immediately.

Nisen patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder:

"Bro, you are truly amazing. We have nothing to do now, tell me about your experiences in the Weird Tower? What floor are you on in the Weird Tower now?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Sorry, I need to rest a bit too. I'll tell you when we get back to the dormitory."

Wen Xishu followed suit, leaning against the shelf to rest his eyes. He looked truly tired... at least the others couldn't tell it was faked.

In reality, Wen Xishu was not sleeping. He had simply opened "Friend Chat."

With the campfire lit, the thing Wen Xishu wanted to do most was naturally to send a message.

This time, Wen Xishu's message, "Are you there? Does anyone still remember me?", finally did not fail to send, but was sent successfully.

Soon, an avatar appeared under the message; it was an avatar engraved with the character "Tang," displayed as "Tang Read."

Wen Xishu immediately became interested:

"Tang Rui?"

Tang Read.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Tang Read.

"Huh, why is it only you who read it?"

Tang Read.

What the hell is reading without replying? Wen Xishu was a bit confused, so he continued to send more messages:

"Speak up, it's me, Wen Xishu."

Tang Read.

"The Rainy Night Butcher! We killed people together on that rainy night!"

Tang Read.

"Wait, you didn't forget, did you? Has so much time passed? What year have I been brought to?"

Wen Xishu was somewhat of a social menace at this moment; he completely ignored one thing.

……

……

The rain was pouring, with thunder and lightning.

It had started raining in the city again. Ever since the apocalypse descended, the rainwater in Jiangcheng had been somewhat excessive.

Fortunately, the city's drainage system was strong enough; otherwise, with this amount of rainfall, some places would have been submerged long ago.

In various areas of Jiangcheng, there was a pure area that looked like a black birdcage. People who approached this area would be teleported into a huge space to search for various cursed objects.

Wanderers rarely chose this area because the black baleful aura outside the birdcage looked much heavier than in other areas.

They preferred places like supermarkets, hospitals, schools, residential buildings, or warehouses.

The birdcage suspended in mid-air was like a mushroom with bright patterns in nature, making people afraid to approach.

The owner of the birdcage would occasionally leave the cage to eat some lone wanderers to evolve herself.

She had a beautiful face and feathers, but because she no longer possessed a human outline, she always felt she was ugly.

Regarding that anticipated meeting, she always harbored fear.

At this very moment, the owner of the birdcage fell into even greater fear because something she found hard to understand had appeared.

"Are you there? Does anyone still remember me?"

This message actually appeared directly in her field of vision.

She was shocked, thinking she had suffered some kind of mental intrusion.

But then, she suddenly froze again.

"Tang Rui?"

This was truly a distant name; the last time she heard this name seemed to be a long time ago. A year? Two years? Or three years?

Every day of the apocalypse was incomparably long; she only felt that remembering time was already a luxury.

"Tang Rui, my name is Tang Rui. How could anyone still remember that my name is Tang Rui?"

Tang Rui had already let down her guard, and from this name, she associated it with the past. Then she began to be curious about this person's identity.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

So, can I talk to him through this?

Tang Rui was a bit surprised; had she really been mentally intruded upon? There should be very few people in this city who could do such a thing; didn't everyone mind their own business?

Tang Rui was still very vigilant, but at the same time, she was thinking about how to reply and where to reply from.

Then the other party's next sentence suddenly came again.

"Huh, why is it only you who read it? Speak up, it's me, Wen Xishu."

At this, Tang Rui's pupils began to dilate and contract; she tilted her head slightly, like a scavenging vulture sizing up its prey—she did this every time she ate a wanderer.

But this time, she was truly tilting her head out of surprise and thought.

Wen Xishu? Is he Wen Xishu?

"The Rainy Night Butcher! We killed people together on that rainy night!"

The new chat content appeared, and it was almost certain that the person sending the message was Wen Xishu.

The confusion in her eyes was gradually replaced by excitement, and Tang Rui's eyes suddenly had light. Those memories buried deep in her heart were the gems she often used to anchor her humanity, the kindness treasured deep in her soul.

"Goodbye, sentinel of the Rainy Night Butcher."

"Goodbye, Rainy Night Butcher."

The words at parting were still vivid; a smile appeared on Tang Rui's face, and she remembered everything completely. But at this moment, she suddenly became afraid.

Wen Xishu, you really came to find me.

Tang Rui's hand trembled slightly; that hand had turned into the shape of an eagle's claw, and she looked like a harpy.

"Wait, you didn't forget, did you? Has so much time passed? What year have I been brought to?"

I didn't forget; it seems a long time has really passed, but I haven't forgotten.

Tang Rui wanted to reply, but when she saw her claws, she suddenly felt some sadness.

At that time, what he saw was me when I was still human.

But now, I have become this ghostly appearance... will I scare him?

The wounds of childhood were indeed let go, but the experiences of childhood had completely set the sensitivity and inferiority in her heart.

This was why Tang Rui had not spoken.

And the chat soon had new changes.

"Huh, did Zhang Wei tell you?" The message came from someone with a "Zhen" avatar.

At the same time, under all of Wen Xishu's messages, there was an additional "Zhen Read" and "Jie Read."

……

……

Wen Xishu perked up; if a person keeps their eyes closed, it is truly easy to fall asleep.

Wen Xishu was still wondering why Tang Rui wasn't making a sound, when suddenly new "Read" statuses appeared.

Judging by the avatars, it should be Slaughter Jack and Slaughter Jennifer.

Wen Xishu said:

"Who is Zhang Wei? Are you Jack and Jennifer?"

"Yes, hehe, big brother, I am Jennifer. Your ability is so strong; where are you? Are you in Mo'en City?"

"I am Jack. Zhang Wei is a human we saved, a Bunker person. Jennifer, he definitely isn't in Mo'en City; otherwise, with such a powerful mental intrusion ability, he would definitely have come to the Weird Tower to find us directly."

Wen Xishu was greatly shocked:

"I shouldn't be in Moen City; I am in a city in Longxia. Do you already know about the bunker?"

"The thing you're surprised about seems too small, quite different from the ability you've displayed, Wen," Jack said.

"Big brother... do you eat people too? How many do you eat a day? How can your mental power be this strong? I was even invaded by you while in Moen City. It feels like you've evolved several levels faster than Uncle Jack and me. Can you come to Moen City to help us? That stinky rat recently defected to a dead kid, and I don't know how, but he got stronger; it's so annoying." Jennifer said a lot all at once.

Wen has read, Jie has read, Tang has read.

Wen Xishu was puzzled. When Tang Rui drank with him, she was quite outspoken, and she was crazy enough when killing people. Why had she started silently lurking?

He still did not know the shock of descending like a god, completely changing a person, and sweeping away all the gloom and suffering of that person's past.

He did not know Tang Rui's anticipation and trepidation at seeing him again.

However, Wen Xishu discovered a very interesting thing.

His chatting ability seemed to be an extremely terrifying ability to Jennifer and the others. Because of the extremely vast distance between Longxia and Moen City, this also led to Jennifer miscalculating his ability, thinking he was some kind of incredible existence.

Wen Xishu thought about it; for this kind of misunderstanding by others, as long as it was beneficial to him, he could adopt an attitude of neither admitting nor denying it.

"Sorry, I can't come to Moen City right now. My ability only allows me to communicate with you, but I cannot directly come to where you are."

"Oh, oh, oh, big brother, you are really so strong now. If it weren't for the fact that your place is too far away, Uncle Jack and I would both want to come and join you."

"No, Jennifer, do you not like Moen City anymore?" Jack said.

"Hehe, I like it, I like it. I still have to wait here for Mom to come back." When Jennifer sent this message, she wore an evil smile.

Like a child full of malice, she revealed a wicked grin.

Wen Xishu pondered, it seemed he had no way to get help from these people.

At this moment, suddenly, under all the messages, a character "Cheng" and a character "Xuan" appeared.

"Wen Xishu? My god, where are you? Are you in Longxia? We are in Shencheng, where are you?"

The two brothers An Jincheng and An Youxuan had actually appeared as well.

Wen Xishu thought to himself that everything was complete now; if only this function of the Scorpio Cheat Knife could be permanently retained.

After entering the Slaughter Tower, he would have proper local natives to make walkthroughs for him.

Wen Xishu said:

"It's the An brothers, right? An Jincheng, An Youxuan?"

An Jincheng said: "That's right, that's right, it's me! Brother, this is the Wen Xishu I told you about, the one who inexplicably appeared at the Miracle Building to save me! We were able to leave Qicheng thanks to him and that hot girl!"

An Youxuan did not speak.

At this time, in a stronghold in Shencheng, as wanderers, the An brothers—An Jincheng was replying to Wen Xishu with his consciousness.

But An Youxuan spoke directly:

"Jincheng, are you sure? Could this be someone from some region using some method to invade us, wanting to obtain your information?"

Beside An Youxuan were the driver Old Wu and An Youxuan's former secretary, Bai Muen. Bai Muen was currently bandaging An Youxuan's wounds.

Both An Youxuan and An Jincheng's bodies had been injured by a regional guardian in a sweep not long ago; the two of them had failed the sweep and were currently hiding in a temporary stronghold.

"No, big brother, if the other party wanted to pretend, they wouldn't pretend to be Wen Xishu... Wen Xishu is a bunker person, which is something only we know," An Jincheng said.

An Youxuan accepted this explanation:

"It's just... it's been a long time, how did he suddenly appear?"

An Jincheng immediately replied with his consciousness:

"Where are you now? You suddenly disappeared in Qicheng that day, you and that hot girl who was speeding... you suddenly left, I was still wondering, but then my brother rushed over!"

Wen Xishu could also be considered to have learned the aftermath of the mission that had come to an abrupt end from the Scorpio Cheat Knife.

At this time, for Slaughter Jennifer, Slaughter Jack, and Slaughter Tang Rui, it was extremely shocking.

Qicheng?

Hell, Wen Xishu's mental invasion range is this wide?

He is no different from those gods now, right?

It has indeed been a while since everyone parted... but how is he so strong!?

In Jack's impression, although the Wen Xishu of that time brought Jennifer back, at that time Wen Xishu was just a... bug that could be easily killed by him in seconds.

In Tang Rui's impression, the incident of killing people together on a rainy night was still fresh in her memory; at that time, although Wen Xishu also possessed strange abilities and resonated with her...

But at that time, both Wen Xishu and she should have been very weak.

She had evolved to her current level by constantly hunting and eating, but Wen Xishu... how did he do it, to be able to cover more than half the world with his mental invasion?

At this moment, several powerful leader-level figures all had one thought in their minds:

"Is this still the human from back then? How can he be this strong?"
