A voice that shouldn’t be here appeared, causing Hoshino’s pupils to shrink instantly.
"You! How are you here? How can you be here?"
The barrage of comments erupted.
[Impossible, why is he here?]
Wen Xishu wiped the blood on his hands with an alcohol-soaked cloth:
"Don’t be hasty. The question of why I’m here is easy to answer, but I need to think about where to start with this question."
Hoshino tried to stand up, but Wen Xishu just wagged his finger and said:
"Don’t move, or you’ll end up like the homeless man, with your head twisted off."
This immediately made Hoshino behave.
Wen Xishu brought over a chair. At this moment, he looked like the calm and composed family member sitting by the patient’s bed, peeling an apple.
Wen Xishu said:
"In the last round, didn’t you play a police officer? That officer wasn’t Murata, it should have been Murata’s colleague."
Hoshino nodded. All his psychological defenses, whether it was his manic laughter or self-consolation, shattered the moment Wen Xishu appeared.
Now, he was very afraid.
But Wen Xishu still saw that Hoshino held onto a sliver of hope:
"Actually, I shouldn’t know about the homeless man’s ability."
"But you did two stupid things."
"The first stupid thing, you were too arrogant, and the officer you were playing actually revealed a lot of useful information."
"The second stupid thing, you disclosed everyone’s location to Master Lingqing. You never considered the impact ’we’ might have on you."
"Because you had dealt with it before, but when I said ’I’m not a good player,’ you started to fear."
Everything was spot on.
Hoshino felt humiliated. The feeling of being completely seen through shouldn’t happen to him.
He was supposed to be the one who saw through everything!
But now, Wen Xishu accurately articulated his inner thoughts.
Wen Xishu said:
"You’re ridiculous; when you think there’s no danger, you’re more inflated and arrogant than anyone else. When you think danger is coming, you’re more afraid than anyone else."
"Frankly, if you were a bit bolder, I would’ve thought maybe you should go to the doctor, gather all sorts of monsters to kill me."
"But you chose to ’switch accounts’ first."
The immense humiliation and unwillingness made Hoshino ask:
"How... how do you know? They wouldn’t dare betray me! How do you know what I look like now!"
Wen Xishu said:
"You fancy yourself a god, but in my eyes, you’re not even worth a damn."
"I know all your methods and trump cards, but you don’t know any of mine."
"With this, you dare to call yourself a god?"
Compared to Master Lingqing and the seven people with strange qualifications, Hoshino could indeed be considered a god.
Infinite rebirth, unlimited trial-and-error resources, plus the inability of other players to use violence...
These constraints made him feel his status was unshakable.
To the inhabitants of Desire Tower World, he was a god.
But at this moment, Hoshino felt endless fear because of Wen Xishu’s casual demeanor, inherent disdain, and the contempt and disgust in his eyes...
Made him feel like a cockroach in a garbage dump.
Wen Xishu was thinking that in this world, there are some admirable people. Even bearing misunderstandings, they still want to save others.
Looking at Hoshino’s body now, there’s no doubt Hoshino had killed Officer Murata.
In this version, Master Lingqing’s last friend was also dead.
Wen Xishu pondered how to explain this to the Mage.
How to narrate all of this to the Mage.
But on the surface, Wen Xishu said:
"Actually, you don’t need to be so nervous. I have no interest in killing ants like you. You continue with your destruction, and I’ll complete my tasks."
"Someone like me, who can pose a threat to you, is rare. Currently, it’s just me."
"Once I’m gone, you’re still the king here."
Hoshino never expected the other party to say this, his eyes immediately lit up with hope:
"R-Really?"
"I’m actually here for fun too. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the mission, I wouldn’t even be interested in you. Finding you can increase my mission score, but how to deal with you, isn’t it up to me?"
"So... what do you need me to do?"
"Call the remaining few and have them come to the garbage dump immediately." Wen Xishu smiled.
Hoshino felt uneasy:
"You wouldn’t... be tricking me, right?"
Wen Xishu smiled:
"I’ll put it this way, I once took a girl and killed her parents, killed her teacher, killed her best friend, and she even thanked me."
"I also incited someone to kill his coworker, kill his friend, and even snatched the neighbor’s daughter."
"A young master from a conglomerate in Jicheng was deceived by me to give up his family business and became a homeless person."
"The things I’ve done are far worse than you, otherwise, how do you think I’m able to stand here?"
"Don’t you want to see Lingqing desperate? It would be interesting, wouldn’t it?"
Wen Xishu’s honest words made Hoshino feel the excitement in his heart as he described them.
At this moment, he felt as if he realized... the other party was like him.
"Great! What do you want to do!"
