This is also why there are so many reincarnation novels; rebirth itself is a massive resource.
And the Collapser, infinite rebirth.
Wen Xishu said:
"He can reincarnate or loop countless times, and he can also rely on other ’players’ being unable to use violence, proclaiming himself invincible in this timeline..."
"But no matter how many chances he has, no matter how invincible he thinks he is, I only need one opportunity to completely anchor and end the cycle."
Wen Xishu said:
"These seven people, do you know their locations? That Collapser, the ’one’ you speak of, I guess you do not know, right?"
Master Lingqing nodded:
"Gourmet Watanabe Fumio, in Rokkasho City Center, there’s a restaurant with special ingredients."
"Vagabond Kinoshita Kyūhei, in the landfill on the outskirts of Rokkasho."
"Doctor Fukube Kaku..."
Wen Xishu interrupted:
"I know the doctor."
Master Lingqing continued:
"Takahashi Fumihiko, an honor student, is at a supermarket opened by the Takahashi Family. It’s easy to find, just at Takahashi Supermarket, also in Rokkasho City Center."
"Delivery man Oda Jyong is elusive, but he is currently providing some ingredients to Watanabe Fumio; maybe you will find him when you find the Gourmet."
"High Girlfound in the central city hotel. Easy to find; there are many people lined up for her... services."
"Lastly, Niu Lang San Shen Ban Zao, he appears only at a night club in Rokkasho at night.
"It’s said that to blend in... you must dress like a dog."
Master Lingqing sighed:
"Actually, even this information was revealed by ’that person’."
Clearly, in the version that Wen Xishu arrived at, ’that person’, as the Collapser, had already grown bored of the game.
He began to provide key clues to his ’enemy’, Master Lingqing, to increase the difficulty for himself.
But to ’that person’, doing this would not lead to any real change.
Wen Xishu pondered...
Xun Hui is currently on the 59th floor of the Slaughter Tower Celestial Ladder. Wenren Mirror is on the 60-something floor of the Desire Tower Celestial Ladder.
This is the 42nd floor, so someone unlucky must have been here.
And was found by the Collapser, who realized that the ’unlucky one’ couldn’t initiate any violent actions against him.
Of course, it’s also possible the Collapser had other information channels.
In any case, this Collapser was very arrogant.
Arrogant enough to start giving Master Lingqing information for a bit more excitement.
Wen Xishu liked such arrogant-to-the-point-of-stupidity Collapsers.
"By telling you this information, he indicates that he has found all seven of them. Without me, in the next cycle, these seven people’s status would likely be higher, their evolution faster."
"But he’s dreaming too beautifully; there will be no next cycle."
"Master Lingqing, in your local terms, I am about to start an ’exorcism’, can you offer me some help?"
Without minimalism, Wen Xishu would go on a killing spree.
But now, Wen Xishu still had to be somewhat cautious. His initial attributes were already well above the average person’s, not to mention the complete sequence power he could use.
Plus the Compass, gloves, and the killing football. These tools make Wen Xishu easily handle his enemies.
The most crucial point is... he is an outsider, beyond the plans of the Collapser. To Master Lingqing, pure NPCs, the Collapser is a high-level dimension reduction strike.
But Wen Xishu knew well, the Bunker players rank the highest.
Master Lingqing nodded:
"Perhaps you are right. Unfortunately, I cannot leave here. If I appeared in Rokkasho, I would attract too much malice. The moment I step onto the street... A group of people trying to kill me would gather."
The Master also thought about killing those seven individuals with talent similar to his own. But doing so would be too risky.
Wen Xishu said:
"Understood, understood, so I’ll do it. I’m good at killing."
It was at this moment that Master Lingqing revealed his true form.
Under the influence of radiation, his face had begun to mutilate, showing three sets of features: sorrow, joy, rage.
His fingers also became thin and wrapped around like tree roots.
Master Lingqing said:
"I will give you something, sir. These things may not necessarily make you stronger... But I think they will give more development directions for your existing powers."
The sequence runes!
At that moment, Wen Xishu instantly thought of runes.
Tang Rui gave him an array of mixed feelings, allowing his spiritual barrage to sense past memories when someone’s barrage appeared...
So what will Master Lingqing give?
Hold on, the mission isn’t even over, yet he can already receive rune rewards?
Wen Xishu guessed it was runes and he guessed right.
When Master Lingqing’s plant root-like hand touched Wen Xishu’s forehead.
Wen Xishu received the following prompt.
[You have obtained the Rare Sequence Rune: Guiding the Dead. It has been automatically embedded into the Strange Sequence 37: Spiritual Barrage.]
Wen Xishu checked and found the rune’s effect was simple but could be extremely useful at times.
Originally, Spiritual Barrage had four effects, and with the mixed feelings, it became five.
Now, Spiritual Barrage had a sixth effect:
[Effect Six: You can see the barrage of the most recently deceased spirit in a given area.]
It seemed not that powerful at first glance, but in practice, it was indeed guiding the dead.
Within a specific range, the last thoughts of the most recently deceased would appear as a barrage, and combined with mixed feelings, Wen Xishu could further, through the barrage, know the last thoughts of this person before death, and... his memory.
