"If I ignore the villain, the villain will go on a rampage, which will lead to... the experiences of the next villain being even more twisted and their power even stronger."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What about controlling the other party?"
"Suppose we exploit a bug and trap the target, making them unable to die but also unable to harm others?"
Tang Rui said:
"It doesn’t work, I’ve tried doing that, controlling someone and locking them in a dark place."
"But that night, I dreamed of his past... I was jolted awake by those twisted memories. Then I thought of going to see him..."
"But when I arrived, he was already dead. The surveillance showed that it seemed he was affected by some external force, and his life force quickly withered."
Wen Xishu didn’t expect such a "constraint" to exist.
The only solution is to kill the target; if the target isn’t killed... even just controlling the target will lead to bizarre dreams.
In the dream, those experiences probably hit Tang Rui even harder.
After all, in the dream, the protagonist was Tang Rui herself.
He could imagine how twisted a dream must be to awaken Tang Rui.
Tang Rui said helplessly:
"As I said before, unless I leave Jiangcheng forever and never step foot here again."
Wen Xishu understood:
"But you need to return to Jiangcheng, don’t you?"
Tang Rui said:
"Yes, I have to return here."
In fact, while escaping may be useful, Wen Xishu also knew that he couldn’t avoid it.
This was the content of this mission.
Turns out, the recruitment tasks in the Slaughter Tower have such a Deceit Tower style to them?
"Then shall we... continue the cycle once more and go through a complete process?" Wen Xishu suggested.
Tang Rui nodded:
"Okay. The best method I’ve thought of so far is to quickly find the target, then kill the target."
"This way, although I will soon start generating the next villain... but at least the next enemy won’t be too strong."
Wen Xishu didn’t speak, just thinking about how to capture this urban legend figure, Jiang Zhaonan.
He took out the Compass.
Initially, the Compass didn’t point to anyone, but as Wen Xishu’s desire became clearer, the Compass quickly provided a direction.
It’s undeniable; the products from Ding Dong are still handy even at this version.
After confirming the direction, Wen Xishu said:
"I’ll handle it, you are not to participate in the hunt. I don’t want you to experience Jiang Zhaonan’s experiences."
Tang Rui did not decline, only whispered:
"Thank you, Wen Xishu."
...
...
The dream ended quickly as the villain’s fabrication was complete.
On this rainy night, the taxi driver who preyed on couples was already dead, but a new monster had been born.
Jiang Zhaonan, dressed in shiny black stockings, a business outfit on top, hair tied up and appearing drunk, appeared outside a nightclub toilet with a dreamy look in her eyes.
She leaned against the sink, and soon, the prey took the bait.
The man was instantly captivated by the woman’s gaze.
In this kind of place like a club, everyone knew what such a gaze meant was going to happen next.
Soon, the two were embracing, then entered the bathroom, shut the door, and began kissing.
The man was a playboy; he actually was very skilled and had high standards.
Especially his capability to park a supercar outside the club gave him unmatched confidence.
Over time, not everyone could just get into his car. Under the spotlight, nightclub makeup made every woman alluring, but once on the car, he’d scrutinize his prey carefully.
When finding the prey unattractive, he might even kick them out of the car.
But for some reason, today he seemed like a starved man who had never seen a woman before, with nothing but desire in his head, like a beast wanting to devour the woman.
The woman’s laughter was seductive, and in this unclean place, they both became like wild animals, forgetting everything.
But soon the man woke with a start.
The two had been deeply intertwined, clothes discarded, but the man soon felt... a head.
The baby’s cries left the man dumbstruck, thinking he was hallucinating.
At this moment, the woman became even more alluring:
"I gave birth to a boy for you; do you like it?"
Frightened immobile, the man watched as the baby crawled out from the woman’s blood-soaked body, smiling twistedly, with the umbilical cord still attached, then slowly crawled towards him.
He seemed to be trapped by some bizarre force.
At that moment, the man despairingly realized... he had already become one with the woman, not knowing when, his body’s limbs were intertwined with the woman’s limbs as if made of flesh pulp.
"Let’s live happily as a family of three!"
The woman’s head split open, followed by her body too, starting to split, as she turned into two masses of flesh, wriggling, and together with the baby, swallowed the man.
The thundering heavy metal music of the nightclub drowned out the tragedy happening in the restroom.
Before long, the door opened.
A woman, exquisitely made up and looking radiant, emerged.
She leaned against the sink, awaiting the next prey.
The next prey quickly appeared.
He was a young lad who seemed just over eighteen.
But if one looked carefully at the youngster’s eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of world-weariness.
Having identified the other’s appearance, estimating that the other was quite young, Jiang Zhaonan surprisingly had no interest in such a little brother.
The main reason being she couldn’t smell alcohol.
"Get out."
Jiang Zhaonan actually spoke.
"Your gaze just now was quite tempting, how did you sober up so quickly, am I that much of a turn-off?"
Wen Xishu was somewhat speechless.
In his mind, he could hear Tang Rui chuckling.
