Chapter 226: Chapter 224 Awei Died

Now that the backstory of this "hunting game" is more or less clear, the only problem that remains for Wen Wen is—how to get these three ordinary people out.

Under extremely severe circumstances, a Demon Hunter should prioritize their own life, but when possible, they should try to protect ordinary people from the impact of supernatural events.

After all, Wen Wen had signed the Demon Hunter agreement, so he couldn’t just keep to his own enjoyment and let the three of them die.

Therefore, Wen Wen had to figure out a way to get them out.

So, Wen Wen stood on the tip of his toes on the edge of the chair, one hand holding the back of the chair, the whole chair balancing on one leg, wobbling but maintaining a strange equilibrium.

The other hand held the phantom colored cigarette holder, taking a puff now and then—he was thinking.

"That little girl said, to leave here safely, one must complete the game, that is, to kill the prey, which seems to have no solution."

"Taking them with me to break out... No! If I try to break out on my own first... No, not that either..."

Chu Wei stood by, curiously watching Wen Wen in thought; the smoke rings he blew out were all different, one moment a Kun, the next a Kun-eating beast.

Wen Wen’s eyes grew brighter, direct until he blew out a man playing basketball!

"...Maybe, this could work."

He jumped down from the chair and asked Chu Wei, "Awei, are you truly immortal?"

"Don’t call me Awei." Chu Wei waved his hand confidently and said, "No matter what injuries I suffer, I won’t die."

Wen Wen pondered for two seconds and asked, "What if you were sealed alive in concrete and sunk into the ocean? What would happen then?"

Chu Wei chuckled and said to Wen Wen, "Do you think you’re the only one who has thought of that? There was a time a Disaster Level monster, unable to kill me, sealed me in an iron can and buried it underground. Do you want to know what happened?"

Wen Wen played along and asked, "What happened?"

"After ten minutes, I realized I couldn’t get out of there, and I couldn’t kill myself, so I just died on the spot."

Wen Wen: "..."

Died on the spot? What the heck, does that mean he can die whenever he wants to?

"After I died, I resurrected in thirty seconds, and then I exhausted every method to wear that monster down, alive!"

After saying that, Chu Wei broke into a hearty laugh, clearly proud of that battle.

Wen Wen’s eyes shone even more brilliantly: "So you’re saying... you do die, but you resurrect after dying, right?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Wei nodded and said, "That’s one way to put it, although I resurrect within thirty seconds after death. If I die in a place I can’t escape from, I’ll be reborn in a safe place."

Thirty seconds...

Wen Wen recalled how that uncle who ran out earlier had delayed for some time inside the hotel, and it took more than thirty seconds to run out, which was why it ended so tragically.

Having confirmed this, Wen Wen smiled at Chu Wei.

That smile was exactly like a weasel caressing a hen’s freshly laid eggs.

"So for those thirty seconds, you are indeed in a dead state, right?"

Chu Wei suddenly felt a chill and hugged his arms, suspiciously eyeing Wen Wen, "You’re not thinking of something bad, are you?"

"Correct, it’s not so good for you," Wen Wen nodded and affirmed.

"You admit it, you actually admit harboring ill intentions towards me!" Chu Wei stepped back, wanting to get as far from Wen Wen as possible.

Wen Wen took a step forward, expertly hooking Chu Wei’s shoulder and said, "Brother, what I’m about to say is all in the interest of getting us out of here, and you have to answer honestly. You said that in every game, you’re always the unluckiest, so does this ’every’ mean each and every time, or just most times?"

"Every single time."

Chu Wei grimaced as he spoke; every time this topic came up, it brought sorrow from deep within him.

Whenever a situation arose where someone might die, he was always the first one to go.

As a result, the Demon Hunters from the nearby cities treated him as a lightning rod, taking him along on every major operation.

As long as Chu Wei was alive, it meant safety; once Chu Wei died, it signaled the beginning of danger.

At that point, the team leader would usually shout, "Awei is dead, everyone watch out for your own safety!"

If it weren’t for Chu Wei’s personal ambition to become a Ranger, some elite Demon Hunter squads would have snapped him up a long time ago.

In any team, an Ability User like him was a treasure.

This kind of misfortune was probably the price he paid for his Undead Ability.

After confirming the information he wanted, Wen Wen expressed his plan, "Since that’s the case, when the next round of the game starts, you can play the prey again. Let them kill you, then leave here within thirty seconds. Is that feasible?"

Chu Wei thought for a moment, then said somewhat reluctantly, "Your idea is indeed feasible... But dying is very painful!"

Seeing a chance, Wen Wen quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Look, I have a gun here, a Supernatural Weapon! If I blow your head off, you won’t feel any pain at all."

Chu Wei sneered, "It’s not you dying, how would you know it’s not painful?"

Wen Wen’s eyes darted around, then he coaxed, "How about this, if you’re willing to do it, I’ll say that you were the one who handled the Containment Items. Then you can go take the Ranger assessment."

Wen Wen didn’t need credit for himself, but if an opportunity arose later, he still intended to take advantage of it.

Chu Wei was conflicted for a while, but ultimately decided to agree to Wen Wen’s method.

Although he was not afraid of dying and had died many times, it was still rare for him to seek out death, so making this decision was not easy.

Once they had agreed, everyone waited for the game to come.

Only ten or so minutes had passed when the bronze statue began to dance again, this time the game was rock-paper-scissors.

Under Wen Wen’s threat, everyone chose rock, while Chu Wei consistently chose scissors, and thus the prey was selected to be Chu Wei.

Wen Wen raised his hand, asking Chu Wei, "Ready?"

Chu Wei closed his eyes, his face taking on an expression of dignified sacrifice.

Therefore, Wen Wen swung his hand down fiercely, and Three Cubs coiled its body around the pistol ’Pack of Wolves’, aiming at Chu Wei’s head and pulling the trigger with the tip of its tail.

A silent bullet passed through, Chu Wei’s head was instantly pierced, and after twitching on the spot for a few moments, his life force completely dissipated.

Wen Wen seized this moment and shouted low, "Awei is dead, start the timer!"

Three Cubs’ body quickly expanded, growing into a massive python over ten meters long in just one second.

Then Wen Wen grabbed the tip of Three Cubs’ tail and hurled it out with force.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

It stretched over five or six meters out of the hotel entrance without being attacked!

The middle-aged man from before had barely gone two meters before he was turned into pieces!

"This method works!"

Having confirmed it was safe, Wen Wen exerted more force and sent Three Cubs out completely.

And the time had only gone by seven or eight seconds.
