Chapter 175: Pain is Immortal

The first sentence made Wen Xishu feel it was absurd.

Pain Auction? Human Hole Village?

"You mean, I am currently in Human Hole Village."

Wen Xishu looked at the woman. Although the woman was standing tilted, her hair was like anti-gravity, and it was also straight and tilted.

This is very Japanese art style.

Water-blue hair, water-blue clothes, the whole person had a hazy and illusory feeling. It didn't look real at all.

Wen Xishu realized that this person... might not be human.

"Yes, you are in Human Hole Village. Before you enter the Human Hole, I suggest you go to the auction with me first to auction some things that can help you survive." The woman said with a smile.

Wen Xishu remembered, Pain Auction... Albert said that pain had become a kind of currency.

"Why is this house tilted?"

"Not long ago, this place experienced a major collision... resulting in many special force fields, causing some buildings to float in the air." The woman explained seriously.

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Who are you?"

"I am Virtual 04, a waiter at the auction." Virtual 04 said with a smile.

Truly a very standard robot name.

It seems this is indeed not human.

Wen Xishu's thinking was instantly understood as this being a guide, a novice guidance NPC.

"This place experienced a major collision... now it's a ruin?"

"Yes, the periphery has become a ruin, but Human Hole Village still exists. If we cannot solve the human holes in Human Hole Village, our world will still be cursed by bad luck. So warrior, please go to the Pain Auction with me, auction items suitable for you, and purify the human holes." Virtual 04 smiled.

Wen Xishu suddenly felt, why was there such a strong sense of déjà vu?

"Do people like me often appear nearby?"

"No... but according to the clues we obtained, people who appear near the ruins are people who can save us, they are the highest quality warriors." Virtual 04 smiled.

Randomly appearing in the obsession land...

Hmm, it is indeed a high-quality warrior. Those from the bunker are roughly equivalent to the traversers in island country comics who were hit by a mud truck and entered another world.

It's just that "high-quality warrior" made Wen Xishu have a strong desire to complain.

Could it be that there are low-quality warriors?

"Before you take me to the Pain Auction, why not talk about what Human Hole Village is about?" Wen Xishu asked.

Since there is free explanation, it must naturally play a role.

Virtual 04 said:

"As you can see, everything here is dominated by huge mysterious power. We call it a curse."

"You are our warrior, the person who can resolve the curse."

Wen Xishu immediately interrupted:

"Don't put a hat on me first, tell me first, what is this curse about?"

Next, Wen Xishu had a sense of déjà vu of a story nesting doll like "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain."

Virtual 04 said seriously:

"I don't know when it started, but after people die, they all turn into a hole, a hole with a human outline."

"The Demon-Purifying Monk from the north of Hujiang once said that if you don't find a way to fill this hole... it will cause our city to be cursed."

"Look."

Virtual 04 pointed outside the window. Wen Xishu seemed to slowly adapt to this tilted gravity and looked out the window of the broken house...

Outside the window, there were many floating houses, including stacked villas and small buildings. The houses in the island country are not very high, giving Wen Xishu the feeling of countless giant stones suspended in the air.

There is a taste of the Shushan Immortal Realm, but what is floating is not mountain rocks, waterfalls, and palaces, but Japanese-style buildings.

But what really attracted Wen Xishu outside the window was not those buildings.

It was the huge vortex in the sky.

A black vortex.

This vortex instantly made Wen Xishu think of the bunker being devoured by the Great Devouring.

"It is said... only by eliminating all the human holes can the black vortex disappear. And the black vortex will release curses irregularly."

Wen Xishu thought of the orange vortex.

"Is it possible that the black vortex is also a hole?"

Virtual 04 looked at Wen Xishu with some surprise:

"Warrior, you are indeed different from others. Too good, yes, the black vortex is also a hole. Do you see those veins?"

Wen Xishu followed Virtual 04's gaze and saw countless veins extending from the black vortex.

It was like black tentacles, countless black lines extending from the huge vortex in the sky, connecting to the human holes below.

"We regard these black veins as stairs leading to the black vortex. We have arranged for many people to climb along the black veins... but they were all rejected upon reaching the end."

Wen Xishu realized that the word "rejected" seemed too polite.

"Rejected? Did it give you any hints?"

"Yes, everyone heard a sentence: not enough."

"What is not enough?"

"This is also what we are eager to figure out." Virtual 04 said.

Wen Xishu said:

"In other words, you need to obtain some kind of thing from inside the hole... when this thing accumulates to a certain amount, will the black vortex let people enter?"

Virtual 04's eyes lit up again:

"Your imagination is truly not bad."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"That voice, can you hear any details?"

"Can't hear it, it's mixed with too many people's voices, like the voices of many people synthesized together... but it's full of resentment. We once invited the leader of the Demon-Purifying Monks—Master Lingqing, but the Master was also unable to enter that place. The Master only said that this is a huge karmic debt." Virtual 04 sighed lightly.

Wen Xishu was amused. He actually heard Master Lingqing here?

It seems that the Demon-Purifying Monks have begun to interfere with the obsession world... this is truly a good thing. Because in Wen Xishu's eyes, the Demon-Purifying Monks' style of doing things should be aimed at making the world better.

However, Hujiang is indeed perverted enough.

Wen Xishu said:

"I roughly understand."

Everything in front of him is really similar to the Great Devouring. If you don't eliminate the vortex in the Great Devouring, you will be devoured by the vortex.

If Human Hole Village doesn't fill the human holes, it will be cursed by the vortex...

Wen Xishu went from one Great Devouring to another Great Devouring.

It seems that in order to solve the black vortex, the people of Hujiang also formed some organizations.

"What is the situation with the Pain Auction? This auction sounds a bit strange. What does it have to do with pain?" Wen Xishu asked again.

Virtual 04 said:

"It seems you are the kind of high-quality warrior who must understand everything clearly before acting. Too good, you are a question-type warrior, we are saved."

"Pain Auction, as the name suggests, is an auction related to pain. Pain as a kind of currency can be exchanged for many items."

"These items seem to be closely related to some things inside the human holes."

Although he was suspected of being complained about asking too many questions, Wen Xishu still couldn't help but ask:

"How did this rule come about?"

"Unclear, we only know... from a certain day on, pain became a rare resource, and people were gradually losing the ability to perceive pain."

"People need to constantly dig for various pains to exchange for various survival items. This rule appeared inexplicably and covered half of Hujiang. Those people covered by the rule, even if they leave Hujiang, will be like this... as long as they feel pain, as long as they produce pain..."

"They can come to the museum, exchange the corresponding value of pain for pain coins, and then go to purchase and auction items."

Virtual 04 was very serious at this moment:

"So, we have always longed for a warrior whose parents are alive and who is healthy. Is your mother still alive?"

"Do you think this question is a bit presumptuous?" Wen Xishu suppressed the urge to hit someone.

He had a feeling of traveling to a very crazy world.

"Sorry, I just long to save all living beings. The meaning of my existence is just this. I don't know who I am, I only know that my master created me just to find warriors who can change this world." Virtual 04 said.

Her expression carried a bit of apology.

Wen Xishu felt awe. Even if she is non-human, even if she is facing such a crazy world, she still chooses to protect humanity? Haki Virtual, you guy!

"Alright, I roughly know. This trip, I feel it's not the kind of mission that can be completed in a few hours. You take me to the auction first."

Virtual 04 nodded and said:

"Too good, please follow me."

Virtual 04 took out a small knife at this moment. Wen Xishu subconsciously made a defensive posture, but saw Virtual 04 say:

"Your pain tolerance has not been established yet, so you feel this is very strange, but don't mind, I am not trying to hurt you, I am just trying to take you away from here, leave Human Hole Village and enter the auction directly, I must open the Virtual Spirit Channel."

"But I don't have enough energy now."

Wen Xishu seemed to have guessed what to do.

I saw Virtual 04 insert a knife into her own lower abdomen. Wen Xishu noticed... that knife had a hook. Virtual 04 showed a smile, as if she couldn't feel the pain, so she twisted the knife deep in her lower abdomen.

The small hooks on the blade began to hook the inner wall of her skin and hook the intestines.

In this instant, she finally showed an expression of pain, but what followed was a kind of pleasure.

People will be happy when they see money. Once money and pain are equated...

Then humans will also become strange.

"Really... really comfortable!" Virtual 04 felt the pain, her intestines seemed to be hooked, but she also obtained the power to heal herself.

"Too cool! I... I will take you away! Ah... hmm... so comfortable!"

Wen Xishu stood frozen in place.

He had seen all kinds of big scenes, he had seen many perverted island country people, but he had never seen this scene.

Virtual 04 was almost dead, but powerful strength made her start to heal again:

"I have never been willing to touch this place... this is the most sensitive place for me, and now only here can make me feel pain. For you, I have taken out my last coffin money! Warrior... you must help us!"

Virtual 04's will made Wen Xishu admire, but how to say...

This Pain Auction, he had already started to feel a bit of pain.

At the auction, how many people would perform all kinds of strange behaviors?

Actually, Virtual 04 still lied. Her most sensitive part was further down, but that place was too painful. That was her real coffin money.

Virtual 04, who possessed power, shot blue light from her eyes, and then she gave a light drink, and a water-blue portal appeared.

"Let's go, warrior, I will take you to the auction! The new auction is about to start. Everyone will be very excited to see you."

Wen Xishu said:

"Your superpower... is a portal? Does everyone have superpowers?"

"Ah, your questions haven't ended yet? Alright, we all have superpowers, but actually our superpowers only come from one system, and that is pain. Superpowers are actually talents... but you must feel pain to use these superpowers." Virtual 04 was very anxious.

Wen Xishu was not anxious:

"So, am I too? If I stab myself now..."

"You will die, please don't do that, you are still a novice, don't play experienced moves as soon as you arrive. Indeed, pain will make you obtain superpowers, but it's best not to be so painful... your pain tolerance is not strong enough." Virtual 04 said seriously.

In the past files, there were people who were painfully killed, although they exploded with a large amount of pain coins, those pain currencies could only be used by the owner of the pain.

"Alright... alright." Novice Wen Xishu decided to listen to advice.

He found it hard to imagine how many crazy areas Hujiang had.

Wen Xishu said no more and stepped directly into the water-blue portal.

Dim lights like dying candles flickered. Heavy red curtains hung from the ceiling like solidified blood waterfalls. The air was filled with the smell of old wood, mixed with a trace of faint moldy smell.

The participants sat silently in the shadows, like a group of ghosts. Their faces were blurry, their figures were strange, and there were even some people with Deer Island style influenced by radiation appearing in Wen Xishu's line of sight.

The auction stage was high, like an altar, with mysterious auction items placed on the stage, covered by dark velvet, revealing only a few outlines.

Beside Wen Xishu, the smile on Virtual 04's face faded a bit, looking more official.

Wen Xishu also noticed that the wound on Virtual 04's body had healed.

"Pain tolerance... it seems it will also cause their injuries to recover quickly. Does this count as a good side effect?"

Wen Xishu guessed.

His figure looked very normal, his skin was fair and shiny, and because there were no obvious wounds on his body, he soon attracted the attention of many people.

A boy who was staring at Wen Xishu said very enviously:

"I swear, if I could possess you! I must take your body! Your body is too perfect, as if it hasn't been ravaged by anything."

"Oh! Amaterasu! This is simply a brand new ATM machine filled with money! I don't need to guess to know that you must be a new warrior!"

"I feel I don't even need to use a beer bottle, I only need to use my fingers to make a thousand-year-kill move, and I can make you explode gold coins from the rear!"

"Oh, don't mind, brother, I'm actually complimenting you."

Wen Xishu was a person who had seen big scenes, but at this time he didn't know how to answer.

The man in front of him was covered in "nails." Tongue nails, nose nails, lip nails, these things were not worth mentioning on him. He was almost densely covered with nails everywhere.

Ordinary people only need to look at it to feel pain, but there is no doubt that this person can no longer feel any pain.

Wen Xishu complained internally:

"As expected of Hujiang, the radiation monsters of Deer Island are far from your limit..."

If even such a group of weirdos couldn't survive after entering the human hole... and no one knew what was inside the human hole to this day—

Then Wen Xishu really had to re-evaluate the difficulty of this mission.

"A world chasing pain, this perverted degree, perhaps this time, I can truly feel what a level-seven mission is?"
