Chapter 194

Slaughter Tower, 60th Floor.

After the state of selflessness was activated, relying on his formidable combat power and constantly exploding heads with his fists, Xun Hui was currently enjoying the battlefield.

"This is really exciting! These guys act like they aren't afraid of pain."

After killing dozens of monsters, Xun Hui finally overturned his previous conclusion—the enemies here were not enemies that required headshots to be killed.

After Xun Hui's patient observation, bold speculation, and careful thinking, he believed these monsters were likely "masochistic."

They were the type that the more you hit them, the more excited they got, feeling like they were being rewarded.

So it was best to go straight for a headshot, a one-hit kill, lest he punch them and they actually feel good.

But just as Xun Hui had been killing for most of the day and finally thought he had found the correct answer—

He suddenly discovered that the surrounding monsters began to howl in pain.

"Hey! Are you mocking me? Where did that excited state from just now go!"

Xun Hui was furious.

But the monsters were really in pain; their survival rule of "pain currency" seemed to have disappeared.

They had caused Xun Hui quite a bit of trouble by relying on their strong pain tolerance and the characteristic of becoming stronger the more they hurt, and although Xun Hui had been killing his way through, he had also suffered not-insignificant injuries.

Xun Hui had also prepared to flee this area if he couldn't win.

But suddenly, all the monsters attacking Xun Hui began to be in abnormal pain. Their bodies began to shatter, and their flesh and blood began to burst open.

Xun Hui was stunned, and only after a good while did he confirm that these monsters didn't seem to be mocking him.

Rather, they were truly in pain, but unlike before, it seemed they had lost some kind of "precondition" that allowed them to enjoy pain.

However, for Xun Hui, although the scene before him was strange, it was ultimately beneficial to him.

"Although I don't know what you're suddenly in pain for, don't blame me for taking advantage of your predicament."

A new round of harvesting began.

Tower of Desire, 60th Floor, Hujiang District 19.

In the Morita family mansion, Wen Wen Renjing pushed away the melted ninja, looking incredulously at the source of the light, feeling this terrifying power.

He came to the basement and found the two children, Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing and Qiu Qiu Shanxing, hugging tightly, but both had entered a state of selflessness.

The two children had their eyes closed, but they had not fallen into a deep sleep.

Unimaginable power surged from Qiu Qiu Shanxing's body in the form of black mist, but after getting close to Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing, it turned into a golden luster.

The Suffering Goddess's Kingdom and the Compassionate King's Reincarnation, the two powers perfectly merged under the influence of their hosts.

Wen Wen Renjing actually felt a sense of awe toward this power.

For the first time, he felt the power of such a high-level strange sequence.

At this moment, he had a premonition that all of Hujiang might be changing.

Under the illumination of the golden light, his body had recovered from a near-death state to its peak state. Wen Wen Renjing even felt that his control over the previous desire sequences was stronger.

When dealing with the ninja, he had relied on forcibly driving the desire sequence, at the cost of risking his life, to forcibly twist the ninja's will.

But now, Wen Wen Renjing had a feeling that he could do the same thing more calmly.

If the same predicament happened again, he wouldn't have to be so disheveled.

This evolution was very exaggerated; he thought that perhaps he would have to break through to the 70th floor of the Tower of Desire and possess the ability to survive there before he could achieve it.

But now, under the illumination of that golden light, Wen Wen Renjing felt his strength take a big step forward.

"The two children are releasing their power. The monster from just now was melted by this power, but I was healed by this power, and not just healed, but achieved a breakthrough."

"Is what these two children are doing... blessing and purification?"

Wen Wen Renjing seemed to have guessed it.

Hujiang is an extremely huge city; it is obviously impossible to heal everyone's pain in such a city.

The Compassionate King's Reincarnation and the Suffering Goddess's Kingdom are indeed powerful, but not enough to completely purify Hujiang, where strange invasions are extremely serious.

What the two children are doing is not healing or purifying this city.

They are helping some extremely special people.

Like himself, like Little Tree, and like people like Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing and Qiu Qiu Shanxing.

This city still has many aptitude holders, good and bad, but there is no doubt that if these aptitude holders appeared in the Mysterious Tower, it would mean they have huge obsessions, have suffered huge pain, or naturally have twisted minds.

And now, Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing and Qiu Qiu Shanxing are blessing some people, endowing these people with "evolution."

Just like Wen Wen Renjing feels now, his use of the desire sequence has had a new breakthrough.

"Those aptitude holders living in pain and distortion will all be blessed, right? By then... I'm afraid the entire situation in Hujiang will be completely opened up."

This is all Wen Wen Renjing's speculation.

But this speculation is very close to the truth.

Because even Wen Wen Xishu received a huge gift; under the blessing of the golden light, Wen Wen Xishu's orange consumable became a "personality" that could be used multiple times.

Wen Wen Renjing realized that he and Wen Wen Xishu had truly brought a huge impact to the future Three Towers War.

Although he hadn't seen the guide yet, at this moment, he could already feel—all the missions he had done before, the impact on the future, even added together, were not as great as this one.

He even felt that if this golden ball of light, like a sun, could hang in the air longer, the impact on the future would be higher than the completion of an ordinary level 7 mission.

But soon, Wen Wen Renjing realized that things were not as smooth as he had imagined.

That huge golden ball of light hanging high in the sky soon began to tremble violently.

It floated for about an hour.

During this hour, many places were quietly changing.

In a certain high school, an aptitude holder who was bullied suddenly awakened his power in advance and ignited the courage to live; originally, he had prepared to jump off the school rooftop.

On the second floor of a certain convenience store, a woman who was being domestically abused and was about to be stuffed into a closet to be dismembered suddenly had the power to resist.

On a certain highway, a taxi that had accidentally entered a different space suddenly returned to the human world as if by magic; after confirming several times that he had finally escaped that ghost place full of bread-faced people, the taxi driver was in tears, surprised by his survival.

In a certain laboratory, a "super ninja" being cultivated, a radiation-modified human codenamed "Hayabusa," suddenly opened his eyes; the memories he had lost had actually returned.

The laboratory staff didn't notice this scene at all; the next instant, terrifying sword light crisscrossed, cutting various equipment into pieces.

Not only were some aptitude holders escaping their predicament, but some urban legends were also being disintegrated by the golden light.

In this hour, many people's obsessions were changed, and countless people's situations ushered in a glimmer of hope.

But only after an hour, the golden ball of light in the sky began to tremble violently.

It was as if it had been interfered with by some terrifying power, causing the golden ball of light to begin to disintegrate, countless golden lights flying away, and gradually, the night became pitch black again.

"Was the power exhausted? Or was it interfered with by some even greater power?"

Wen Wen Renjing felt the changes in the sky.

He found that the power that made him feel awe could no longer be perceived.

And Qiu Qiu Shanxing and Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing also fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Wen Renjing was very worried at first, but then he found that Qiu Qiu Shanxing had completely turned back into a human, and the two children were breathing evenly; he smiled and began to wait patiently.

Late at night, everyone in Hujiang was in a state of excitement.

The legend of the super urban legend, the Red Ghost, the terrifying serial killer, was spreading at the speed of light.

A ghost dressed in red, whose style seemed to come from Whatever Longxia, slaughtered thousands of people. The live broadcast of the Hujiang Grand Hotel was interrupted, and the scarlet blood seemed to overflow the screen.

Then there were major disasters such as the shopping mall explosion, the roller coaster collapse, and the airship crash.

Everyone felt a kind of terror from the apocalypse because of these things.

But people did not know that Hujiang's desperate apocalypse had been postponed for a long time, and the future situation of Hujiang had also undergone huge changes.

The apocalypse of dancing demons will turn into a battlefield for many heroes.

Inside the Morita mansion—

Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing and Qiu Qiu Shanxing were still in a deep sleep.

Wen Wen Xishu and Wen Wen Renjing had already met up. After committing "atrocities," Wen Wen Xishu did not stay in District 20 for too long, but hurried to the Morita mansion.

Along the way, Wen Wen Xishu was also thinking about what had happened.

After some exchange between Wen Wen Renjing and Wen Wen Xishu, the conclusions they reached were almost identical.

Some kind of power to change fate, some kind of blessing from a super-rare sequence, was launched by the two children to various places in Hujiang.

"They should be in a coma for a long time. It looks like their power was overdrawn," Wen Wen Renjing said.

Wen Wen Xishu nodded, but then shook his head:

"Power overdraft is one aspect; on the other hand, the city of Hujiang has even more terrifying power interfering with them. This city is even worse than we expected. It's not guaranteed that there aren't even rarer sequence owners, but... they may not be on the human side."

Wen Wen Renjing smiled:

"But in any case, we should have done something amazing. The Great Devouring Society ending with such a result is really encouraging."

Wen Wen Xishu also smiled; he began to look forward to the reward this time. His premonition was very strong; this time he should achieve level 7 completion.

Because many "obsessions" had been changed.

"I don't know if Senior Xun Hui is doing well over there," Wen Wen Xishu was still a little worried.

Wen Wen Renjing was quite confident:

"For us, breaking the situation this time is difficult, but for Xun Hui, he is just doing what he has done countless times before. Don't worry about him."

Wen Wen Xishu asked:

"You have so much confidence in Senior Xun Hui?"

Wen Wen Renjing was still very confident:

"His aptitude is no less than any elder; I believe he will become the true number one in the Slaughter Tower under the teacher."

This kind of assertive tone coming from someone else's mouth would be somewhat arbitrary, but Wen Wen Renjing said so, and Wen Wen Xishu felt it was very reasonable.

Just as the two looked at each other and smiled, Qiu Qiu Shanxing and Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing finally slowly opened their eyes.

"You're awake, that's great," Wen Wen Renjing said.

Looking at Wen Wen Xishu and Wen Wen Renjing, Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing knew that everything in the dream just now was true.

After she fell into a coma, she soon fell into a dream, and what happened in the dream was exactly the same as in reality.

This feeling of waking up and finding everything still there made Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing smile; she rarely showed a sunny and cheerful side.

In the past, she was a bit bitter and deep, Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing gave a thumbs up:

"Brother Senior Wenren! I did it!"

It was obviously not the first time Wen Wen Renjing had been called brother; he gently touched Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing's hair:

"Yes, Akiyama Xiaoxing, you and Little Pupil are really amazing; you saved me."

Wen Wen Xishu cut to the chase:

"Although I guessed some of it, can you tell me yourself what happened just now? What exactly did you do?"

Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing said:

"I don't know what happened either... but I felt like I had accomplished something amazing with Little Pupil."

"At that time, I only felt my consciousness covering the entire city. I saw you, I saw Brother Senior Wenren, and I saw many, many people."

"I seemed to know who was suffering and who was bringing pain."

"I felt like I had a steady stream of power to use. I tried to let those who were suffering have the power to resist pain. I also tried to stop some people from committing violence."

"At that time... I felt like a god mastering order. Many, many people must have been changed by me. I don't know what that change is specifically. But I know they will become better and stronger. They will also help others become better and stronger."

"It's really amazing. Although I have lived a very painful life and I couldn't decide my own fate, from the moment I touched Little Pupil, I felt like I could do anything! It's the first time I've had this feeling... just like that man said, mastering power!"

The Suffering Goddess's Kingdom; at this moment, Wen Wen Xishu seemed to understand the true meaning of this sequence name.

However, Wen Wen Xishu was somewhat sensitive to the word "god," which reminded him of the twelve constellations. He was also very curious about the effect that Akiyama Xiaoxing and Little Pupil achieved together just now—

Was it something the twelve constellations could achieve?

Seeing that Qiu Qiu Shanxing had not spoken, Wen Wen Renjing suddenly turned the topic to Little Pupil:

"Little Pupil, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Qiu Qiu Shanxing shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know my brother had always been a, a bad person. It turns out... I did many, many bad things."

"But at first, I just wanted to make my brother happy, to make everyone happy."

Even though he knew the truth, Qiu Qiu Shanxing was still a little sad; he was obviously hesitant when mentioning that Morita Go was a bad person.

"My brother... he's dead, right?"

Wen Wen Xishu did not answer directly, but said:

"You lost a brother who didn't love you, but you gained a Akiyama Xiaoxing who can survive and support each other; there are gains and losses."

"Okay, don't cry. Because we are about to leave here. Qiu Qiu Shanxing, take good care of your sister Akiyama Xiaoxing, understand?"

Wen Wen Xishu had already received the mission completion prompt. Shortly after the two children woke up safely. Wen Wen Renjing was the same.

Both entered the countdown to departure.

Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing suddenly looked up, quite surprised:

"Ah? Are you leaving already? But, but we, okay... will we see each other again?"

She obviously had a lot to say, but couldn't say it for a while.

Qiu Qiu Shanxing was also very reluctant; he was still in a daze, his eyes full of confusion, not knowing where to go in the future.

Wen Wen Renjing said:

"Yes, we have to go. Although I really want to settle you down before leaving... but sorry, everything seems to be too late. But we will meet again."

It was the first time Wen Wen Renjing was so reluctant to leave the Tower of Desire.

Wen Wen Xishu thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry, we will definitely meet again. Also... forget what you have done. From today on, you only need to treat each other's misfortune as your own."

"You don't need to worry about what will happen to this city anymore. In the face of the vast apocalypse, you are not allowed to use your power to change anything."

This suggestion surprised Wen Wen Renjing.

But soon, Wen Wen Renjing seemed to understand Wen Wen Xishu's intention.

Wen Wen Xishu continued:

"Life is not a fairy tale; it won't let you end at the happiest point."

"Akiyama Xiaoxing, Little Pupil, you will encounter a lot of pain and torture in the future, and you will encounter a lot of misfortune... but remember, you can only release your power for each other."

"Remember, don't use this power easily unless it's a last resort! If you encounter suffering, accumulate suffering; if you encounter misfortune, accumulate misfortune, but don't easily transform it into power to change others!"

"Before you meet us for the second time! You must, must restrain your power, understand? Except for each other, no one else is worth you using your power!"

Although they were weak after using that power, Qiu Qiu Shanxing and Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing were thinking about changing the world again once their power recovered.

So the two children didn't understand why Wen Wen Xishu said this.

Subconsciously, Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing turned her head to Wen Wen Renjing, wanting to know what Wen Wen Renjing thought. It seemed that what Wen Wen Renjing said was right.

Wen Wen Xishu was speechless inside; sure enough, walking with a man who is too handsome... even if you are the MVP, your rating will not be higher than the other party, and your efforts will be alienated by the other party.

Wen Wen Renjing said:

"He is right, you must keep this in mind, understand? We won't harm you; your power is magical, but you are weak yourselves."

"Before you meet us again, you are not allowed to use your power easily."

The crisis in Hujiang cannot be resolved by two rare sequences; Wen Wen Renjing and Wen Wen Xishu both felt that if this power appeared again, it might change many things... but it might also bring disaster.

No one knows if there is still some behemoth hidden in this city.

Akiyama Akiyama Xiaoxing and Qiu Qiu Shanxing nodded.

The two children wanted to say something more, but the figures of Wen Wen Xishu and Wen Wen Renjing had already begun to become illusory.

Departure had arrived. The missions in District 19 and District 20 truly ended at this moment.

Wen Wen Renjing said:

"Little Tree, I have learned a lot from you; see you in the bunker."

Wen Wen Xishu did not respond, because a lot of information appeared in his mind.

The Mysterious Tower and the Slaughter Tower had undergone important changes because of his actions.

But all this was not the most surprising information that appeared in his mind.

The most surprising thing was this piece of information.
