Must go back, must return alive, otherwise countless people who have picked up the courage to fight against life will be crushed by life again.
Wen Xishu was very angry, wanting to use the power of the Mad Dice to combat this Minotaur.
He possessed "guaranteed base," which allowed him to inflict substantive damage on the Minotaur in their confrontation.
After two hundred attacks, he could kill the Minotaur.
The Minotaur's white flame is a destructive fire to the deceased, and any spiritual body that touches it will undergo a second death.
Those who are dead, dying once more... will be completely erased.
But in the end, faced with the textual prompt, Wen Xishu made his choice.
[The Minotaur is among the weaker enforcers, actually you're capable of killing the Minotaur, but do you really want to do that? Once the enforcer dies, the bounty on your head will be more than just one star.]
[Now, the Minotaur has already eliminated the one who can disrupt causality in the living world—at least it believes it has eliminated it. It is about to disappear.]
Wen Xishu ultimately did not take action.
"Instead of avenging Huang He who died, what I should do is go back to the Bunker and prevent Huang He from dying."
The Minotaur slowly departed.
The cracks in the ground miraculously vanished, as if nothing ever happened.
The coffee shop clerk calmly refilled Wen Xishu's cup, as though unaware of what just occurred.
Wen Xishu was frozen in place, and after a while, he understood.
"I've touched causality."
"I asked Huang He about the reason for Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror's deaths, and learned that the two died the first time they entered the seventieth floor..."
"This matter should not be known by me, and once known, it will cause some changes in the world of the living."
"Thus, it alarmed the Underworld's enforcers."
Wen Xishu sorted out everything, his anger yet to dissipate, but deep down, he realized he had captured a key piece of information...
"The Underworld has realized some things... realized someone is coming to break into the prison, but in the face of countless dimensions, countless souls... the Underworld cannot manage all places."
"Also, the Underworld stopped me because it's real; I knew about the cause of the deceased's deaths and then changed the matter of death..."
This revelation gave Wen Xishu a lot of motivation.
"Next, I need to find the soul worth saving, and simultaneously, I need to ascertain one thing... why did Sagittarius not withdraw after Mr. Jin's death."
Must find Mr. Jin.
Wen Xishu thought about it. Mr. Jin died three years ago... and he was now three years later, based on the time gap, and he had a three-year time difference, he could return to the timeline of Mr. Jin's death.
He simply needs to go to that location and find Mr. Jin.
Wen Xishu immediately had an idea and decided to seek the coachman once more.
But during the search for the coachman, Wen Xishu received a prompt.
This time the prompt was not from the crow that gave him abilities but from the Arena of Competition.
[The Demon King has been eliminated, congratulations, you survived the pursuit of the Demon King and eliminated him.]
[Killer: Lower Spirit District Law Enforcement Squad Leader.]
[Survival rewards will be collected when you clear this Deceit Tower.]
Wen Xishu just remembered, there was still a Demon King.
He instinctively activated shared vision, thinking it wouldn't work, since the Demon King was already dead...
But when he did so, Wen Xishu still saw some scenes.
...
...
Lower Spirit District.
The enforcer exuded white flames all over, possessing a beautiful face, six pairs of wings resembling those of fairies or angels, brandishing a scythe thoughtfully.
"How can there be such a thing in the Lower Spirit District!? How did he sneak in?"
The Demon King's head was decapitated, his eyes clearly full of disbelief and fear due to the opponent's speed.
The Demon King widened his eyes, looking at the enforcer holding the scythe.
Actually, the one truly looking was Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu couldn't believe that a Red House-level Demon King was killed so easily...
Can I really escape the Underworld?
Is Deceit Tower's fortieth floor too much trouble?
"Though the top said there would be a living person attempting to take away a soul, it always feels like the person shouldn't be so foolish."
"Very strange, and the Lower Spirit District didn't have any alerts, which means, this guy is either dead, or... a summoned entity."
"Furthermore, I received a prompt saying I killed the Demon King... could this be not an intruder, but a competition hosted by the Lower Spirit District managers?"
"Who should I claim the prize from?"
The enforcer wielding the scythe crouched down, as if sensing something, and immediately lowered his head, staring at the dead but unyielding Demon King.
On the other side, Wen Xishu did not immediately withdraw his gaze.
He very calmly looked at the enforcer through the Demon King's eyes.
He did not rashly withdraw his strength. This instead let the enforcer detect nothing amiss.
"Seems like I overthought, let's go."
The enforcer stood up, kicked the Demon King's head into the lava pool.
The vision was interrupted.
Wen Xishu in the Upper Spirit District finally returned to his senses.
Wen Xishu concluded:
"In the Netherworld, I cannot possibly defeat the enforcers here; their strength is unimaginable."
"If I want to save people, I can only do so unnoticed, silently."
There are too many puzzles, Wen Xishu wants to ask Mr. Jin. He soon took a carriage, heading to the timeline three years ago.
