A voice that shouldnât be here appeared, causing Hoshinoâs 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:
"Donât be hasty. The question of why Iâm 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:
"Donât move, or youâll 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 patientâs bed, peeling an apple.
Wen Xishu said:
"In the last round, didnât you play a police officer? That officer wasnât Murata, it should have been Murataâs 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 shouldnât know about the homeless manâs 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 everyoneâs location to Master Lingqing. You never considered the impact âweâ might have on you."
"Because you had dealt with it before, but when I said âIâm not a good player,â you started to fear."
Everything was spot on.
Hoshino felt humiliated. The feeling of being completely seen through shouldnât 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:
"Youâre ridiculous; when you think thereâs no danger, youâre more inflated and arrogant than anyone else. When you think danger is coming, youâre more afraid than anyone else."
"Frankly, if you were a bit bolder, I wouldâve thought maybe you should go to the doctor, gather all sorts of monsters to kill me."
"But you chose to âswitch accountsâ first."
The immense humiliation and unwillingness made Hoshino ask:
"How... how do you know? They wouldnât dare betray me! How do you know what I look like now!"
Wen Xishu said:
"You fancy yourself a god, but in my eyes, youâre not even worth a damn."
"I know all your methods and trump cards, but you donât 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 Xishuâs 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 Hoshinoâs body now, thereâs no doubt Hoshino had killed Officer Murata.
In this version, Master Lingqingâs 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 donât need to be so nervous. I have no interest in killing ants like you. You continue with your destruction, and Iâll complete my tasks."
"Someone like me, who can pose a threat to you, is rare. Currently, itâs just me."
"Once Iâm gone, youâre still the king here."
Hoshino never expected the other party to say this, his eyes immediately lit up with hope:
"R-Really?"
"Iâm actually here for fun too. Honestly, if it wasnât for the mission, I wouldnât even be interested in you. Finding you can increase my mission score, but how to deal with you, isnât 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 wouldnât... be tricking me, right?"
Wen Xishu smiled:
"Iâll 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 neighborâs 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 Iâve done are far worse than you, otherwise, how do you think Iâm able to stand here?"
"Donât you want to see Lingqing desperate? It would be interesting, wouldnât it?"
Wen Xishuâs 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!"
