Chapter 276 Challenging Cain
Chapter 276 Challenging Cain
The biggest trouble was solved at once.
The shackles hanging over everyone's heart disappeared.
There is no doubt that the people from the Free State Investigation Bureau used many means to ensure that their top killers would obey their orders.
There is no doubt that they all know in their hearts that they are abandoned.
Now, this trouble is solved.
Logically speaking, this should be the biggest difficulty of this mission.
Just like all games that disgust players, when the players climbing the tower think that they have led the killers to kill those super targets that are almost impossible to kill... when they feel a sense of accomplishment -
Bang, the real evil activated the detonator, and your teammates, who were both good and evil but had flesh and blood and shared life and death with you...had their heads exploded.
You may survive by chance, but the planner will ask you: Is it worth it? Did you have fun?
In fact, since he began to review the task, Wen Xishu has thought of many possibilities, and he thinks the biggest possibility is the one he guessed.
Of course, are these killers good people? Not necessarily, but if they are villains, villains in the absolute sense, then they have no weaknesses and cannot be used as guns.
Abandoned people are often those who have not yet lost their human nature.
According to the normal game process, it must be very difficult to eliminate Zoe without triggering the detonator. Wen Xishu could imagine that he might have to exhaust all his efforts.
But now, with the help of the power of the Lord of the Underworld, he did it easily. There was no pressure at all. This game even made Wen Xishu feel more... fried fish than the weird competition.
When Wen Xishu said those words, the killers, who no longer had any worries, were all stunned.
After a long time, Persian Igor bowed to Wen Xishu:
"Thank you so much for saving my family."
Cannon also said:
"This is much more terrifying than infinite bullets. You Long Xia are really scary, but thank you very much. I owe you my life."
The shadow no longer seemed illusory and transparent. He stretched out his hand:
"No need to wear a collar. I have changed from a dog to a human being. Thank you for giving me a chance to be a human being."
Cannon said:
"I am an extremely evil killer. In the killer world... I represent evil, the Cosmos. In the killer world, there are many guys who claim to be righteous and specialize in taking orders to kill evil people."
"But I am the evil person in their eyes. I don't understand, why did you save me?"
Night Devil also said:
"I am the same as Canon. Because of the darkness, everyone seems to treat me as an alien. I will repay your kindness with my life, but we... don't know each other, right?"
Wen Xishu did not answer the question immediately.
Because he suddenly received something he hadn't seen for a long time.
[When true freedom comes, they can finally decide to complete a grand assassination in this world where humans cannot be human and monsters are everywhere. Congratulations, you have received an invitation to an epic assassination.]
Wen Xishu was a little troubled.
Well, the feather pen that the god of death gave him actually killed not real people, but obsessions. Because this thing can only be used in the place of obsession.
In other words, the god of death actually gave him authority comparable to that of God, just to tell the world of obsession - I can also kill those of you who are obsessed with Schrödinger's death state without any life or death.
This is a warning. It warns the world of obsession, that is, the Weird Tower, not to bring business to the underworld.
There is no doubt that the ruler of the underworld, the crow is really strong. This prop makes Wen Xishu feel like a Gm.
But——only in the Weird Tower.
If he really got the invitation letter and entered the Desire Tower, he would be facing the real savior. Even more than the savior, the Investigation Bureau and the Collapsers alone might be enough to give Wen Xishu a hard time.
"We have to think of some tricks. And after entering the Desire Tower, we will return to a point in history. They met me in the world of obsession and removed the collar, but that didn't happen in history."
"Without the Death Quill...how am I supposed to get Zoe to remove the collar?"
Wen Xishu understood that if he continued to carry out operations in the strange tower, all subsequent actions would go smoothly.
It's a good thing to get the invitation letter, but this time, Wen Xishu plans not to activate the invitation letter yet.
"Considering the invitation, I have to do an experiment."
Zoe was busy erasing the criminal records of several killers. Wen Xishu had already written Zoe's death with a colorful feather pen.
But he suddenly wanted to test whether he could change the way Zoe died before she died.
So Wen Xishu began to scribble something on his palm. He needed Zoe to come to the weapons room again.
Wen Xishu was just trying and was not sure whether he would succeed.
But soon, Zoe did come to the weapons room again, as if she was lost. After reaching the weapons room, she immediately left again.
Several killers were a little confused. They only saw the Ultimate Killer King scribbling and writing, and had no idea what the Killer King was going to do.
But Wen Xishu was very excited.
"Yes, it's feasible. As long as Zoe is not dead... then I can continue to pile up commands to delay Zoe's death... and before Zoe dies, I can cancel her unfinished commands."
"If I can do this, I might actually be able to go to the Desire Tower."
Wen Xishu gave Zoe a lot of instructions, and these instructions... were enough to delay Zoe's death until the end of the mission.
Among these instructions, there are also some more critical operations, such as Zoe's weaknesses, Zoe's fatal weaknesses, as well as the structure diagram and route map of the entire investigation bureau branch, the safety setting of the detonator, and the detailed explanation of how to release the detonator.
Zoe will provide all these things.
Of course, this does not guarantee that the journey to the tower will be smooth.
Wen Xishu also didn't know what would happen in the Desire Tower. The gap between real history and the world of obsession could sometimes be very large.
After doing all this, Wen Xishu said:
"Maybe many people think you two are evil, but everyone here has killed someone, including me."
"What's more, what awaits us next is the end of the world. Monsters are everywhere, and people are no longer human."
"You all have superpowers, but have you ever thought about the meaning of these superpowers?"
Canon said no more, but there was gratitude in his eyes.
Cannon said:
"Actually... I just want to do something big. To be honest, although I don't like being collared, I really want to try to see if I can kill these saviors."
"These people are said to be able to turn the tide in the apocalypse. Can these high and mighty god-like guys like us be controlled by people like us—"
"Pull down from the altar."
Cosmos is also interested now:
"It doesn't matter what's good or evil, right or wrong, or even life or death. It's just a pure contest?"
Cannon nodded:
"Yes, that's what I mean. Isn't it great?"
Shadow said:
"Ah, I suddenly feel that... this seems to be a very interesting thing."
They don't realize that they are obsessed, but their obsession comes from reality.
Maybe in reality, they really fought against those greatest beings, but in the end, it ended because of the explosion.
"A hearty duel? I wonder what Your Excellency the Ultimate Killer King thinks. If you want to go, I am willing to be your vanguard." Canon said.
Night Devil said:
"Who do you prefer to deal with?"
Wen Xishu certainly had no reason to refuse. He was not sure how he would perform in the Tower of Desire, so naturally he had to do things in the Tower of Strangeness to the extreme.
"I also want to kill people with you all. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, I just want to have fun."
"So why don't we discuss who to kill."
There is no doubt that Longxia, Xiongsu, Lionheart Kingdom, Island Kingdom...the saviors of these countries are all very powerful.
They also don't think that they really have the destiny to defeat all saviors.
Especially the one named Long Xia, who is said to be able to integrate others.
Igor also knew very well that Xiong Su was not a simple person either. He was the savior of the Sky Project and a guy who could control the storm.
At this time, people had no concept of sequence. In the eyes of the killers, the superpowers of these saviors were at the Alpha level, while they were at the Beta level or the Omega level.
"I want to compete with the one from Lionheart. It is said that Lionheart's plan is to make everyone a blood embrace of the savior."
"There is already a city that has been infected, but there is indeed no sign of the doomsday in that city. In that city, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the doomsday has not affected them."
"That's what all the reports say, but... is it really like that?"
"After humans become vampires, will they really be the same as before? Is this really the best decision to deal with the end of the world?"
"I'd love to see it."
Cannon said:
"In that case, let's act together."
Ying also raised his hand:
"Although I am useless, I think my stealth will help you all."
Cosmos said:
"It's not easy for vampires to die in accidents, but my abilities are more than that."
"My magic may not be useful against vampires, but even without it, I still know a little bit about fighting." Canon chuckled.
Soon, the group had a direction.
They are going to challenge Cain, the savior of the Lionheart Kingdom and the founder of the Bloodline Plan.
They were all very curious about what this legendary vampire had transformed the Lionheart Kingdom into.
The same goes for Wen Xishu. With the help of the colorful feather pen, Wen Xishu can even know some information that only the "savior" knows.
The Lionheart Kingdom's bloodline plan was probably the work of some zodiac sign. At least Wei Ping'an has revealed that the Dragon Hideaway Plan was the work of Aries and Libra.
Although the Ark Project and the Dragon Hideaway Project are the most famous, Wen Xishu feels that perhaps the Lionheart Kingdom's Bloodline Project may also be able to reveal some secrets of the Three Towers War.
Without delay, everyone selected their weapons and opened the door behind the weapons room leading to the next scene.
The world behind the door is another world. Wen Xishu was not surprised by this, it was just a traditional art of the Weird Tower.
Once this door is opened, the game begins.
The player may not be able to return to this door with a group of killers. But this is the world of obsession, Wen Xishu is not afraid.
Who cares about Cain? When Jesus comes, he will be killed by you.
……
……
Lionheart Kingdom, Crystal City.
This city, hailed as a city liberated from the apocalypse, is the last refuge for mankind.
But Wen Xishu felt that it was completely different.
The sunlight was a cold gray filter, filtering through the heavy leaden clouds and falling on the empty streets. There were no horse hooves, no wheel tracks, and no footsteps.
This place is like a dead city.
Even in the Lionheart Kingdom in the 18th century, the sky would not be so gray. It looked like night was approaching, but the sporadic sunlight made the city shrouded in the color of an impending rainstorm - gray.
The cobblestones were lifeless, each one like a tombstone embedded in the plaster. The closed windows on both sides were hung with heavy curtains, dark black or dark red, which absorbed all the light, and Wen Xishu felt very uncomfortable.
Here, hate light.
He could imagine that such thick curtains, with a deep dark red hue, would absorb all light.
How dark is the room?
This is a world-famous city. In Wen Xishu's previous life, many people loved the British style. This city is undoubtedly British style.
But it is daytime now, and the Crystal City in the daytime... is so dilapidated.
The hands of the clock tower were motionless. At the bottom of the dried-up fountain in the center of the square lay a few dead leaves, curled at the edges. The whole city was like a huge, detailed etching, with hard lines and heavy shadows.
Wen Xishu didn't like such a gloomy place, but he had no way out. Just as he guessed, the door seemed not to appear until the "savior" was killed.
"What's going on? This is clearly a... dead city? It looks like no one has lived here for a long time." Cannon was surprised.
The Night Demon said:
"It's daytime now. Maybe that's true."
Canon asked:
"What statement?"
He asked, biting his own blood as if preparing some kind of spell.
The Night Demon looked around:
"They are just like me. No... I am better than them. I can move during the day. The light does not weaken me, but the night strengthens me."
"But the vampires are different. It seems that... light weakens them, so they only move at night."
The Night Demon looked up at the sky:
"There are still three hours and fifty minutes until nightfall."
Cosmos said sarcastically:
"It looks like the end of the world here. If the vampires really abandon the daytime... then can this plan really be considered saving humanity?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Since we have nothing to do right now and there seems to be no living people in this city, why don't we check these houses?
Wen Xishu pointed to a very gorgeous but old and gloomy house. If he renovated it, it could probably be used to shoot detective films, like the house where the detective lived at 221 Baker Street.
Soon the group headed to the house.
The door was locked, but it was not an obstacle for the killers, and Canon soon unlocked it:
"You know, I'm into magic, and stealing magic is also a magic."
Canon pushed the door open.
The air was as stagnant as old grave soil, with a faint fishy sweetness mixed with dried roses, old book pages, and some indescribable, damp and cold stone cave-like smell.
Canon felt as if he had entered a scented tomb.
There was a thick layer of dust on the floor of the hallway. There was a dressing mirror next to the hallway, but the mirror was already blurry...
The dust made the figures of Wen Xishu and others reflected in the mirror appear very distorted.
The light in the room was very dim, and it was only because Canon opened the door that light came in.
Just as Canon tried to close the door, Night Devil suddenly said:
"No! Don't close the door."
Canon paused. The door was not completely closed, leaving a gap.
The light in the gap is like a snake.
Because the door was almost closed, the entrance to the living room looked dark.
The sunlight penetrated into the hallway, but then it ran out of energy and could no longer reach the depths of darkness.
Canon tried to open the door, but the door... seemed to have suddenly become conscious, or was being pushed by some strange force.
Suddenly, the whole door closed.
Absolute darkness spread.
Canon wanted to open the door, but found that he did not touch the door handle, but touched something extremely cold.
It felt like tree bark, but also like human skin.
The Night Devil seemed to have noticed something and shouted:
"Canon! Watch out! It's right in front of you!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't sense any breath at all and had no idea what was going on.
Gudong.
The sound of swallowing blood was heard, and the horror in the darkness bit Canon's neck in an instant.
