But the endless hunger remained, and the glutton began to roar in anger:
"I want more!"
"I am not full!"
"Mom! I am not full!!"
Food was not what Charlie truly desired; he longed for parental love. Closing the refrigerator that symbolized material and pressure, and without the endlessly inedible rotten food...
The glutton was still hungry.
But where could Wen Xishu find "love"?
This is Deceit Tower, not some cosmic center that can summon love. He knew very well that this was no fairy tale. Every problem had an answer, but that answer wasn't going to work just by feeding the glutton a bunch of chicken soup.
Wen Xishu broke free from the ropes, which caused him some pain.
Soon, a message appeared in his mind.
[The starving glutton is about to launch an attack that will cover the entire area!]
"Mom! I'm! Hungry!"
The glutton's body suddenly became even larger. It was originally only six meters tall, but now it broke through to ten meters.
The huge, obese body made it look like a gigantic, swollen tumor.
It raised its arms, then clenched its fists, and after shouting "I'm hungry," it smashed its fists violently onto the ground.
The gigantic Forever Hungry Kitchen shook violently. The terrifying air pressure rampaged like a storm.
Wen Xishu spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even hiding in the corner, he was still hit and bled by this area-wide boss attack.
It was his first time encountering such exaggerated area damage, without a single dead angle to dodge.
But there would be many more attacks like this next!
If he couldn't find food for the glutton, the glutton would periodically enter a state of hungry rage and continue pounding the ground.
Wen Xishu had to admit, this was absolutely thrilling.
"This is truly a Nine Deaths and one life scenario."
Due to severe injuries, Wen Xishu's body began to mutate again. His desire to escape made him transform, but this time not into a creature with countless ears.
Instead, he became a creature with countless legs... a centipede.
Yes, Wen Xishu hadn't expected this irregular mutation to turn him into a centipede with dozens of legs.
And Wen Xishu found... this transformation was effective.
In the previous transformation, he had countless ears that could hear sounds from other areas, which meant sounds from other chapters.
This time, the transformation gave him the ability to move to other areas.
When Wen Xishu approached the boundary with an air wall... he found that his feet could penetrate the air wall.
But it was meaningless because the Forever Hungry Kitchen was enclosed.
"I can breakthrough the rules-based air wall limitation, but this physical enclosure requires great strength to break."
"I can't break through... I'm lacking strength. I'm afraid I'll need strength in all scenarios ahead."
Wen Xishu could sense the difficulty of this level. Without any accumulation, such as his sequence, runes, or Anti-Magic Value...
Coming to this level meant certain death.
Unlike the previous puzzles that required decryption, this level also had puzzles, but it also imposed strict requirements on one's strength.
He took a deep breath and began to strategize:
"I have to die once."
Wen Xishu quickly thought of death.
By actively attacking the glutton and being killed by the glutton, he could gain strength.
He wasn't sure if this would work.
But last time when he died at the hands of the Hanged Man, he gained the Hanged Man's ability. What if he died at the hands of the glutton this time?
Thinking of it, he acted without hesitation, and this hanged centipede quickly crawled onto the dining table.
Oddly enough, when the centipede appeared on the dining table and came into the glutton's view, the violent glutton didn't immediately attack.
Instead, it carefully picked up Wen Xishu, in his centipede form. Wen Xishu was stunned, why wasn't this fat guy attacking?
What was it planning to do to him?
However, Wen Xishu, who was always good at observing, noticed that the glutton's eyes seemed to lack the desire to attack, but only temporarily.
[The starving glutton is about to launch an attack that will cover the entire area!]
When the message appeared again, the glutton raised its hands once more.
Wen Xishu fell from a height, crashing to the ground.
The glutton, angry from hunger, forgot about Wen Xishu's existence and slammed its fists onto the ground violently.
It was another full-screen AOE attack.
This time...
Due to being too close to the center of damage, Wen Xishu suffered fatal harm.
...
...
[Current death count: 2.]
[Chapter Three: The Land of Endings, The Wall of Rejection.]
Wen Xishu woke up.
As he hypothesized, death brought him to a new place once again.
With the help of the Scorpion Knife, Wen Xishu learned about this place: the Land of Endings, the Wall of Rejection.
An endless... almost borderless wall appeared in Wen Xishu's sight.
How exaggerated was the length of this wall? Just like a person at sea, unable to see the end from the left to the right.
The wall was covered with hands, yes, drooping arms, as if they were asleep.
But when Wen Xishu approached, he found all the arms seemed to have a slight reaction.
Wen Xishu didn't have time to analyze this place; he had to first take care of himself.
The immense hunger made Wen Xishu feel both pain and agitation.
Clearly, dying at the hands of the glutton had infected him with the glutton's curse.
He began to feel hungry.
This hunger was a need for certain emotions.
In this world, there were very few who loved Wen Xishu.
