Chapter 276

Keynes.

Cain's name; the moment he revealed his face, Wen Xishu sensed it.

His eyes were now a sniper rifle.

At this moment, the "Sci-Fi Drama" began.

The Cannon retreated half a step, out of the danger zone, and the Night Demon also discovered that Cain had stopped for a moment. Such a terrifying existence didn't make the Night Demon think of a situation like "Will he also shout For the Ultimate Murderer."

Facing a strong enemy, the killers were very clear about the strength gap, but they didn't really give up because of it.

Cain suddenly spoke:

"Power close to the night—"

"It's a pity to kill you; as my Blood Clan, you will become an extremely excellent vampire; Crystal City welcomes you."

Cain made an invitation; perhaps Cain didn't feel threatened, he spoke very slowly, so slowly that it gave people a deliberate feeling.

The Night Demon didn't respond to the invitation; he just retreated violently because the next second, the Cannon had already changed weapons.

The Cannon's movements could be described as smooth and in one go.

The heavy firepower weapon rocket launcher was broken, but he still had an armor-piercing sniper rifle with super penetration; this was an anti-armor sniper rifle, not used to snipe people, but to snipe armored vehicles.

Its weight was even greater than the rocket launcher; in ordinary combat, it couldn't be carried at all, but the Cannon was a power user after all.

He almost used all his strength; at this moment, he fired a shot at Cain.

Bang!

The terrifying power made Cain retreat several steps.

It was also at this time that Wen Xishu suddenly moved!

This was something that shocked all the killers because Wen Xishu rarely stopped using "hypnosis" and started hand-to-hand combat!

This made everyone realize that facing a terrifying existence like Cain, hypnosis finally failed.

Wen Xishu wasn't a conceptual god; facing a god-level existence, the hypnosis value also had moments of being stretched thin.

This was enough to show that this was a tough battle.

If even the mage cutting the back row started charging forward, then the battle must have reached the most intense moment.

The Scorpio Knife in Wen Xishu's hand drew a cold light!

Eerily, Cain's body seemed to have lost its defense, and that small knife could actually break Cain's skin!

The super-heavy armor-piercing sniper rifle only made Cain retreat half a step, but Wen Xishu's knife could make Cain break defense!

Cain also said incredibly at this moment:

"How could you have this knife!"

This knife was key.

This knife also made Cain very painful.

At this moment, all the killers realized that this knife had its story, and also its mission!

Cain was injured; this high-and-mighty god actually seemed somewhat fragile.

The Cannon knew the opportunity shouldn't be missed and immediately fired another shot. The huge recoil made his attack aimed at the head hit the chest instead.

Cain should have retreated but didn't; instead, he forcibly stabilized his body, raised a hand, and knocked Wen Xishu's knife away.

The wound created by that knife made Cain painful, so much so that his movements slowed down.

Opportunity shouldn't be missed.

The Night Demon suddenly rushed up; as the existence with combat power closest to a vampire at night, the Night Demon began to forcibly bind Cain's body.

Cain's body was dragged, but he just roared, and the Night Demon was shaken away.

The Night Demon only felt that his bones were about to be shattered.

The Cannon's third sniper shot came; this time, he finally hit the head.

Of course, an existence like Cain couldn't be killed even if shot in the head. Cain's body lost balance, but soon stood up again; he looked at the Cannon.

Countless bats flew toward the Cannon.

Cain wanted to get that knife, but the knife was gone!

That knife disappeared into thin air!

The Cannon and Night Demon actually both knew what was going on, and Wen Xishu also knew very clearly.

Everyone's blood boiled, and the Cannon shouted:

"Shadow! It's now!"

An eerie figure appeared behind Cain.

This assassin, who had been hiding throughout, finally waited for the moment to launch a fatal blow; the dagger pierced through Cain's chest and pierced Cain's heart.

Cain roared again, shaking away the Shadow who had succeeded in one blow; at the same time, Cain, as if making a dying struggle, instantly rushed in front of the Cannon, trying to kill the Cannon in one blow.

But he didn't succeed; his hand only touched the Cannon, and he knelt to the ground because of his severe injuries.

The Cannon felt like he saw his great-grandmother waving at him; he could feel his internal organs being shaken by Cain's seemingly light touch, and his whole body was also knocked away by the force of this blow, crashing into Canon.

If Cain had used even half a point more force, he would have died without a doubt. Even Canon behind him would have died.

But unexpectedly, Cain knelt to the ground in pain, beginning to gasp violently:

"You... why do you have that knife?"

Cain actually gave up attacking; he seemed to know that his body had reached its limit and wanted to leave a breath to die with understanding.

The Cannon lost combat power, Night Demon lost combat power, Shadow lost combat power, Canon lost combat power, and Cosmos was unconscious.

But everyone was still alive, and everything was going as Wen Xishu expected.

"Didn't expect that you guys could actually find a weapon to restrain me! I, Cain, would actually be killed by you nobodies in Crystal City."

The killers all gasped heavily; they were seriously injured, but everyone who was still awake heard the clues in Cain's words.

They actually... won?

The Cannon couldn't believe it; the god-like Cain, the Vampire King, who had appeared grandly not long ago, was actually killed by them?

Was this a hallucination?

The pain of broken ribs made the Cannon believe this wasn't a hallucination.

They had just performed a perfect cooperation; he attracted firepower, Night Demon dragged Cain, and finally Shadow completed the assassination.

Of course, without Canon's formation and Cosmos's crisis-disappearance domain, perhaps Cain wouldn't have appeared.

In short, five killers worked together to complete an impossible assassination.

Cain covered his heart; clearly, that knife caused him fatal damage.

His life had reached its final stage.

He was injured far more heavily than their group!

The Night Demon couldn't imagine that Cain only appeared, and he needed to muster 120,000 percent courage to convince himself not to run away, but such an enemy... he just rushed up regardless of life and death, and actually really created an opportunity for his teammates.

This was truly a miracle! Being able to defeat such a person was simply a miracle.

Their hearts were excited because they had truly killed Cain.

Wen Xishu was also very excited:

"You guys really did it..."

He could see the bullet screens floating from the Cannon and the others, but his own heart was actually calm. From the moment Cain revealed his name, he knew Cain had lost.

The moment Cain was interested in the Night Demon, Wen Xishu used amazing hand speed to write Cain's first line of dialogue: Power close to the night, it's a pity to kill you.

Because his hand shook at the time and he paused, Cain's dialogue also paused after finishing the first half.

From that moment on, Cain's dialogue, actions, and development were all according to Wen Xishu's plan. To facilitate the plot later, Cain's speech was also set to be particularly slow by Wen Xishu.

In fact, what sniper rifle repelling Cain, what Night Demon being able to drag Cain... were all sci-fi movies.

Cain's power was the kind of existence that could kill them just by standing there and looking at them for a few times. The Cannon's weapons being able to make Cain feel numb could be considered technological progress.

The reason for the various attacks earlier, and the reason for achieving results—was all because Wen Xishu arranged for Cain to act.

One had to let these killers have their fun, right?

Since this journey stemmed from their obsessions, they were unskilled but addicted, and he happened to have the power to rewrite the script, so let them have their fun.

The knife that could break Cain's defense was the Scorpio Knife.

The Scorpio Knife was strong, but it really couldn't break Cain's defense; it wasn't a combat-oriented item. If this thing could kill Cain, Libra would be happy.

The instruction Wen Xishu wrote was actually that Cain's body began to crack, his functions dropped rapidly, and after suffering knife wounds, his body would lose its defensive ability.

Next, the killers saw the weak Cain; although Cain was strong... they didn't notice that Cain had been weakened to the extreme.

In this battle, Cain's water-releasing amount under Wen Xishu's manipulation was comparable to the Pacific Ocean.

But in the eyes of the killers, that knife had a special effect against Cain, so everything seemed reasonable. "We did it!"

This bullet screen appeared on the head of every killer, except for the unconscious killer Cosmos Igor.

Of course, Wen Xishu had to admit that Cosmos, Canon, and Cannon were indeed MVPs tonight. Shadow and Night Demon were somewhat lying to win.

However, under his arrangement, Shadow also had a highlight moment at the end.

All killers were arranged in place, giving the bosses who created obsessions for everyone a perfect opportunity to disintegrate their obsessions; this was the cultivation a good Mysterious Tower person should have.

The killers were indeed full of satisfaction.

Although they survived time and time again earlier, it was all relying on Wen Xishu's hypnosis—For the Ultimate Murderer!

Now, although they still won relying on Wen Xishu's knife, in the end, they had a sense of presence, contributed, fought, harvested, and won.

Wen Xishu's hypnosis also reached its limit; in the end, it was relying on our efforts to jointly defeat the invincible Cain!

Without us, Wen Xishu would also find it difficult to achieve the final victory.

If Cosmos were still awake, probably all five killers would think so: the six of us are really too amazing.

That said, the killers also knew very well that Wen Xishu's strength was worthy of the name Ultimate Murderer.

This was an enjoyable, hearty battle; they already felt that their lives were fulfilled; being able to assassinate such an existence in a place like Crystal City, there were no more regrets in life!

Wen Xishu's final instruction:

"Next, Cain will know everything to those who ask him; as long as it is what he knows, about the savior plans of various countries, about the secrets of the Three Towers War, he cannot have any reservations. After asking everything, Cain will die due to severe injuries."

Wen Xishu stood up slowly, pretending to be seriously injured as well:

"Vampire King, truly a respectable opponent. Besides this knife, what else in this world can hurt you?"

Cain's true heart was very aggrieved at this moment.

He first seriously injured himself, and then had to be arranged to cooperate in saying various shameful lines. But he really had no way.

Presented to the eyes of several killers was a Cain who was about to die, and thus was relieved of everything:

"As a reward for defeating me... then I will tell you, I am afraid of silver; silver bullets can penetrate my defense."

Wen Xishu was a bit surprised; how was it exactly the same as in stereotypical vampire literary works?

Vampires were actually really afraid of silver?

He felt it was very strange:

"If holding silver, is it possible for a person with no power to truss a chicken to kill you?"

He was preparing for going to the Desire Tower.

Cain shook his head:

"Impossible. Although I am afraid of silver, even if pierced by a silver dagger, I am only weak; even if my heart is pierced, I won't die immediately; if it were really an ordinary person, no matter how weak I am, I could easily counter-kill them."

Then what if preparing a liquid silver pool? Melt him completely?

But was this really feasible?

Wen Xishu rejected this idea in his heart; in Crystal City, finding a silver pool that vampires were afraid of... this was indeed not very possible.

"The reason why an obsession is an obsession is perhaps because reality cannot be completed... perhaps I shouldn't dwell on how to take these few killers to the Desire Tower to kill the Vampire King."

Wen Xishu began to think about this problem seriously.

Yes, he had an invitation letter and could go to the Desire Tower next to change history.

But the limit of what he seemed to be able to do was to save these few killers; as for killing the Vampire King like in the Mysterious Tower, that was too sci-fi.

Without the feather pen, this group of killers wouldn't even wait for Edward and these people to appear.

Wen Xishu decided to change the question:

"When did you become a vampire? I want to know your past. About how you became a savior, and the source of your Lionheart Kingdom's salvation plan."

Although killing the target could let him know some of the Vampire King's past from the character biography function brought by the Scorpio Knife this time, but right now, hearing the other party say it himself clearly had more information.

Keynes was silent for a while:

"That was a few years ago; I discovered that at night, my speed would be very fast, and I had an extreme craving for blood. Once, my sister's finger was broken, and I helped her suck the wound, and as a result, I bit off my sister's finger."

"After that, I went to a mental hospital. But later, I began to attack doctors and nurses. I had an extreme craving for blood; only after being full of blood did I have the appetite to enjoy normal food. Otherwise, all food would only make me feel it tasted bad and be disgusted."

"In order to drink blood, I began to attack others."

"Later... I should have gone to prison, but my life took a very major turn. The result was that people from the Intelligence Bureau found me; they actually said I was a savior."

"I also felt it was ridiculous; I thought of vampires; I was like a vampire now; I had heard that strange things were appearing all over the world."

"I didn't expect that I was one of them, and a vampire that made people disgusted."

"But the people from the Intelligence Bureau regarded me as a treasure."

"The apocalypse was coming, and many strange things were happening all over the world. They told me that my sister, whom I had bitten, began to become bloodthirsty; she began to miss me... she posted online in the middle of the night, saying I was innocent."

"The doctors and nurses I had bitten were also the same."

"They began to worship me."

"And at night, they also became extremely powerful; a nurse even twisted off the necks of several men in an alley at night."

"And as their numbers kept increasing... I began to become more and more powerful."

"The people from the Intelligence Bureau seemed to have known this long ago and observed me for a long time. After I should have gone to prison, they found me and began to ask me if I was willing to start the Bloodline Project together."

"This project is very simple—the Lionheart Kingdom needs to survive; this global weird storm, every country has some capable people... these capable people determine the future direction. The person who determines the Lionheart Kingdom's direction is me."

"The people from the Intelligence Bureau said that if we choose the conventional way, like the Freedom Federation, trying to build an ark to escape, or like Bear Soviet hiding in the sky, or like Longxia hiding underground... they are all wrong."

"In the era of weirdness, we must become a part of weirdness. Just like the epidemic back then, our Lionheart Kingdom chose natural evolution."

"Of course, there were those who made the same choice, like the Island Country."

"But the Island Country's random evolution and radiation mutation were also extremely inhumane. Especially full of uncontrollability. I also know that Hujiang was quite chaotic in those few years and had the infamy of Weird City."

"The Intelligence Bureau told me that people bitten by me would only worship me fanatically, but they also had their own thoughts; although bloodthirsty, even animal blood and artificial blood could satisfy their appetite, and... they were very powerful."

"At night, they had power and speed that easily broke human limits, and some even mastered other abilities."

"We only need to abandon the daytime... abandon the sunlight, and we can still maintain human decency and survive in this great evolution!"

"Compared to other countries, our salvation plan doesn't need hiding, and doesn't need to become monsters that aren't human or ghost; vampires at least still have human appearances, right?"

"Next, we only need to break through one difficulty, which is the blood-making project. In this way, we humans only need to reverse day and night."

Abandoning sunlight made Wen Xishu feel a bit emotional.

He knew which country the Lionheart Kingdom corresponded to, and he also knew clearly that this country had a nickname a hundred years ago—called the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.

The Lionheart Kingdom a hundred years ago called itself the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets, and a hundred years later... it was afraid of the sun rising and became the Empire of Eternal Night.

This was indeed a bit ironic. Apocalypse

Wen Xishu also noticed a key node and frowned:

"They formulated a salvation plan just because of these things that happened to you? You said earlier that they seemed to have known you long ago."

Cain shook his head:

"To be precise, it wasn't formulated by them, but by a woman holding a ram-headed staff... formulated. Perhaps you are not unfamiliar with that woman."

The eldest sister of the twelve constellations, Bai Yang.

Wen Xishu thought of this person immediately.

This actually involved Bai Yang? Wasn't she specializing in the ancient line?

But then again, the Bloodline Project indeed revealed an ancient meaning; the term vampire itself was very ancient.

As of now, counting the Inverse Seven Project that An Rong was in, it seemed that many constellations had participated in some "salvation plans."

Wen Xishu knew that it would be difficult for him to have such a good opportunity to directly interrogate a "savior" again.

The Cain in front of him, although defeated by him in the Obsession World, if placed in the real world, would probably be an existence at the level of Mr. Jin.

"About that woman, how much do you know? Is your becoming a vampire related to her?"
