Chapter 271: Chapter 269: Reason vs. Out of Control

Wen Wen looked disdainfully at the round steel rebar, lamenting that if it weren’t somewhat effective, it wouldn’t even match the ’Joy of Fire’ game equipment Uncle Wang next door had bought him to play with when he was a child...

Thus, he easily stepped forward, allowing all those chains capable of piercing through brick walls to brush past him. With the sluggish speed of the chains, they had no chance of even touching Wen Wen.

In the midst of dodging, Wen Wen also observed the chains. They were pitch-black, much like the Black Chains of the Sanctuary, but much thicker, and each chain was equipped with a bulky blade, the tip resembling a bayonet.

After a few aimless flails, achieving nothing, the chains retreated.

Then a man with ragged clothes and messy hair, resembling a wild man, came forth, sneering at Wen Wen.

The man had enormous muscles, a face covered with a beard, and his facial muscles were deformed from prolonged smiling. His body was surrounded by crimson smoke that constantly changed colors.

After seeing this face, Wen Wen’s own expression immediately darkened. Despite some differences, those small eyes confirmed that this person was none other than himself!

No!

Wen Wen refused to acknowledge that this creature, who looked no different from a monster, was himself.

He was merely a monster, a fearsome monster that needed to be eliminated.

Monster Wen Wen cocked his head, drooling as he sized up Wen Wen, then showed an expression of surprise after a moment.

"You’ve come... You really have, I’ve been waiting for you for so long!"

He couldn’t help but let out a strange laugh, "Wah gah gah gah shoo lolo lolo xiao xiao..."

While laughing, his body shook uncontrollably, and Wen Wen even worried that he might laugh himself to death.

Wen Wen scratched his chin, his face full of disdain, "Do I really laugh that badly? Maybe I should try to laugh less from now on..."

Accompanied by Monster Wen Wen’s bizarre laughter, the chains on his back all extended, floating behind him like a huge black net.

Entangled in this net were a number of terrifying monsters, some clad in armor wielding shields, some like writhing oil paintings, ferocious beasts resembling giant bears, and beetles spewing flames...

All these monsters were pierced and strung up by the chains. They weren’t dead, but instead struggled violently, letting out desperate howls.

Monster Wen Wen stuck a finger in his mouth, chomping down on it with a crunch, then pointed a bloody finger at Wen Wen and said, "Do you know how long I’ve waited for you? Every single day here feels like an eternity, and ever since you left me behind, I’ve been eager to see you again!"

Left me behind...

Wen Wen arched an eyebrow and said, "You’re saying that I was the one who left you here? Don’t slander me out of thin air."

Monster Wen Wen suddenly leaped up, smashing the ground and creating cracks, falling into an inexplicable rage.

"You forgot, you forgot everything!"

Wen Wen became alert, this Monster Wen Wen’s state was very much like his own when he lost control; he could attack at any moment.

In the midst of his frenzied jumping, two more chains were dragged out, one binding the pale-faced Liu Zhi and the other the unconscious Liu Jiaojiao.

Upon seeing the two, Wen Wen inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that they were not dead, as it meant he had a chance to rescue them as well.

Monster Wen Wen calmed himself down, then pointed at the Liu siblings, saying, "At first, I was like these two, a panicked quail, constantly darting among these monsters, searching for any possible chance of survival!"

"I am you... so you should know, with my abilities, as long as I’m careful enough, I can survive here... But... there’s no food!"

His face became extremely twisted, as if he were decrying the injustice of fate.

"You have no idea what I’ve been through here, to stay alive, I actively hunted monsters, relying on consuming their corpses to survive..."

"But it was no use, their bodies would revive inside my stomach..."

Wen Wen’s expression changed slightly, he found it hard to imagine how he would cope with that kind of despair.

Then, the painful expression on the monster Wen Wen’s face disappeared, replaced by a twisted and perverted smile.

"And then I died, torn apart by the flesh and blood of monsters from within, that feeling... was quite interesting!"

"In this place, no one dies, I never thought there’d be such an interesting place. Since then, I’ve wanted to find you, to share this joy together..."

As he spoke, red smoke began to spread, and after Liu Zhi and Liu Jiaojiao inhaled this gas, their faces turned sinister, and they let out creepy, cackling laughter.

And those monsters, they too stopped their twisted wails, all of them staring at Wen Wen with eerie smiles.

Wen Wen hurriedly pressed his chest badge, a transparent shield isolated him from that smoke, but he still couldn’t help but sneer uncontrollably.

Fortunately, that shield was effective in isolating this kind of mental influence, and Wen Wen did not immediately fall into a state of chaos.

He looked warily at the smoke, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Without the Sanctuary Keeper’s badge, this smoke would have been his greatest nemesis!

Suppressing the strange urge, Wen Wen asked the monster Wen Wen, "Do you know how we were separated?"

"I’d like to know myself!"

The monster Wen Wen roared and, without warning, lunged at Wen Wen like a furious wild beast. His hands were wrapped in chains lined with razor-sharp blades, which would tear away large chunks of flesh upon contact.

Wen Wen held the steel rebar and sighed, "It seems he has no reason left. It would be hard to get information out of his mouth... so I’ll have to subdue him!"

Judging by its aura, this monster version of himself wasn’t very strong. The combination of Vampire Constitution and Yan Biqing’s constitution alone would be enough to thrash it, not to mention the assistance of many other abilities. Therefore, Wen Wen did not think he would lose.

So, clenching the steel rebar, he snapped his fingers with his left hand, and metal wings suddenly appeared on his back, ready for battle.

The monster Wen Wen’s speed was incredibly fast, he reached Wen Wen in an instant, extending his sharp claws towards Wen Wen’s head.

Wen Wen grabbed the steel rebar with one hand to deflect his hand, and with the other hand grabbed his armpit, forcefully leveraging the momentum to throw him into the air.

Next, he raised the steel rebar horizontally, aiming at the chest and abdomen of the still airborne monster Wen Wen, and stabbed mercilessly.

Because his opponent was himself, Wen Wen wouldn’t be complacent, nor would he hold back!

But the monster Wen Wen’s reaction was also quick, he struck the chain against the wall, forcibly changing direction to dodge the blow.

At the same time, Wen Wen’s wings, transformed into a long sword chain, shot straight for the monster Wen Wen’s neck.

This time he couldn’t dodge in time and could only use an arm to block Wen Wen’s attack, but as a result, that arm was cut off and fell to the ground.

Gaining the upper hand, Wen Wen didn’t hold back, stretching out his left hand, a searing beam of light burst forth!

This was the full-powered strike of the Angel of Universal Light, stored by Wen Wen inside the Catastrophe Gloves!
