Chapter 415: Chapter 413 Desperate Game

Wen Wen liked playing video games, all kinds of games.

From shooters to role-playing games, to strategy games, and even dating simulations—he found them all engrossing.

A few years ago, he had realized that the world’s true nature was utterly dark and mad; in the face of such a shocking worldview, he had awakened his "Supernatural Power".

For a normal person, such an event would surely turn their life upside down, but not for Wen Wen.

Superpowers? They weren’t nearly as fun as video games!

Without "Supernatural Power", one could live happily like a pig in oblivion; but once stepping into the world of superpower users, death and madness would shadow him relentlessly.

So, Wen Wen chose to become a gaming hermit.

But now, as he held the expensive game controller in his hand, he suddenly felt that the virtual characters on the computer screen were so repulsively ugly, so...

...terrifying!

He turned and pleaded to the figure sitting beside him in the same posture, "I don’t want to play anymore. Can this game end? I’ll give you anything you want, just let me go!"

The person he was speaking to was a man who looked a lot like Wen Wen, no, it would be more accurate to say he was identical!

This man wasn’t Wen Wen’s twin brother, but a devil.

The man across from him tilted his head to observe Wen Wen and revealed a twisted, ferocious smile, the red gums making Wen Wen feel a deep revulsion.

"The game has already started. Only by deciding a winner can it end. Besides, when I invited you, you didn’t have this attitude at all."

A glint of malice flashed in Wen Wen’s eyes, and with a flip of his palm, a bizarre longsword appeared in his hand, which he then swung at the man before him.

But the man dodged easily and snatched the longsword from Wen Wen’s grasp; the longsword vanished into thin air.

"Don’t try to resist me. When I decided to play a game with you, I had already done my research. You cannot escape from the game, and I don’t want to see another person breaking the rules of the game," the man said with a sinister smile to Wen Wen.

Wen Wen sighed and reluctantly stopped his actions.

A few days ago, this person had approached him, saying he found him interesting and wanted to play a game with him.

Originally, Wen Wen didn’t want to deal with this lunatic, but the stake the man had brought was one of the ten Federation’s "Game King" trophies, and the game’s rules seemed fair, so Wen Wen agreed.

The content of the game between them was the video games Wen Wen excelled at; at first, he won easily and got many good things from the man.

But gradually, he found the games became more and more biased toward the opponent, and it became harder and harder for him to win. Moreover, the game could not be terminated, so he had to keep playing with this lunatic!

Now Wen Wen had lost everything, and the stake for the last round was his life!

Driven by the game marker on his wrist, Wen Wen had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to play, focusing on pressing the gamepad furiously, trying to beat the opponent.

But the character he controlled was just a common soldier in the game, while the opponent controlled a boss-level character with high attack and high health!

Despite Wen Wen’s great gaming skills, a momentary lapse cost him his virtual life in the end.

"Now that I’ve won, it’s time for me to reclaim my stake."

Wen Wen’s face showed a look of terror; he went for the door, thinking that maybe by getting far away from this person, he could escape the deadly wager.

But he was being naïve; black ink-like substance emitted from the game mark on his wrist, darkening his body and gradually turning Wen Wen into a featureless black "Puppet".

"I’ve reaped another game Puppet; what guise should I dress it in? What a pity that it grew weak too soon, depriving me of quite a bit of fun."

The handsome man in a purple shirt emerged from the shadows, looking at Weisu with a pleased smile.

This man was none other than Wu Wang—the one who had played games with Wen Wen before!

"Wen Wen was much more fun, but he has a Catastrophe-Level Expert backing him up, and I really don’t want to stir up fresh trouble..."

Once Weisu fully transformed into a black humanoid Puppet, Wu Wang could mold its face, changing it into any appearance to seek out new players for his games.

Weisu’s own offensive abilities would vanish, but other abilities would be preserved, and he could inherit some powers from Wu Wang himself.

Wu Wang’s collection of Puppets had largely been destroyed recently, and he desperately needed new replacements.

Weisu had already become a completely black figure, and as Wu Wang was about to erase his self-awareness to complete the transformation, he suddenly knelt down, covering his face in agony.

’Wu Wang... Wu Wang... come to me, I want to see you...’

A voice reeking of decay and antiquity echoed in Wu Wang’s mind as if a grand being were calling out to him, and blood started to trickle from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

That distant voice quickly eroded his sanity, driving him toward madness.

A map seemed to form in his mind, and he felt a strong urge to rush to the place depicted by the map.

But this impulse was swiftly suppressed by Wu Wang, who shouted in his mind, "Shut up, I’ve never provoked you, why do you insist on chasing after me!"

"Wu Wang... come to me..."

After a standoff of several minutes, Wu Wang finally stood up from the ground. He had to leave quickly; everytime that voice resounded, Monsters would find him.

Then Wu Wang’s face darkened—Weisu had fled!

The transformation was complete, with only the final step of erasing Will left, yet he managed to escape!

Wu Wang had spent days playing games with this homebody to create this game Puppet, and now the duck that was ready to be eaten had flown away!

A damp, fishy smell filled the air, and Wu Wang’s expression changed. There was no time for anger now—if he didn’t escape quickly, he’d lose more than just a Puppet...

Right after Wu Wang vanished, two figures in cloaks appeared in Weisu’s home, then began to track in the direction Wu Wang had left.

The footprints they left were starkly different from those of a human!

...

At that moment, the Fish Monsters Ben Bo’er and Bapoer were hanging in two different cells, with two Demons conducting separate interrogations.

According to the information obtained from Profane Blood, the origin of these two Fishmen seemed quite unusual, so in his free time, Wen Wen conducted a simple interrogation.

The interrogator was the Demon Rodney, who seemed to have unlocked a Talent for extracting confessions during the torture of the Angel of Universal Light, experiencing a perverse pleasure while tormenting Monsters. Hence, Wen Wen had him oversee punishment at the Sanctuary.

After only thirty minutes of questioning, the two Fishmen spilled everything they knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

They came from the Ancient God’s resting place, the paradise of aquatic Monsters...

Oye Water City!
