Chapter 576: 575

A new life had already been conceived within the body of the Tentacle Woman.

Now, all she needed to do was implant this new life into the body of the female nurse, and their race would have two individuals. Then, they could reproduce anew and prevent their species from becoming extinct.

However, her tentacles had just extended when they were severed into two pieces by Wen Wen, who also stood in front of the female nurse.

Wen Wen had already confirmed that the female nurse was innocent. As a Demon Hunter, he couldn’t stand by and watch a human being killed by a monster when he was capable of intervening.

"Are you trying to stop me? I just want our race to continue..." the Tentacle Woman said pitifully.

"Your race is none of my business. Also, don’t pretend to be pitiful by looking human, we both know you don’t really look like this."

Wen Wen scoffed and then pointed at her. A blast of black energy dispersed from his fingertip, striking the Tentacle Woman. For a monster that didn’t even meet the Calamity Level standard, Wen Wen needed only one finger to kill her easily.

But to Wen Wen’s surprise, after taking his attack, the Tentacle Woman was completely unharmed. Judging from her bewildered expression, she also had no idea why she was unscathed.

"It’s this space preventing me from killing her... Escorting guests out safely might also be one of the agreements between the Deceased and that monster."

"You are quite lucky then, so I won’t kill you for now."

Wen Wen extended his dark hair, binding the Tentacle Woman into a black dumpling, completely immobilizing her.

Afterward, Wen Wen looked at the others, who were still catching up with each other, seemingly oblivious to what had happened here. This must also be the influence of this space.

Apart from Wen Wen, everyone else inevitably fell into their little worlds, paying no mind to others.

Wen Wen walked over to where the Tentacle Man had disappeared, observing the nearby soil.

Whether it was when he disappeared or when the Raincoat Man’s fiancée vanished, the surrounding Other Shore Flowers became lusher, and this space was also slightly strengthened.

Though it was an insignificant amount, it was enough to catch Wen Wen’s attention.

Through observing these two targets, Wen Wen had figured out the actual purpose of this space.

"It seems to find souls with strong attachments from the Gray Mist Layer and lead them into this space, which should be easy for a space that likely exists within the Gray Mist Layer."

"Then, by using these souls, it obtains their specific names, proceeding to send those people letters to fulfill the desires of these souls."

"After completing their desires, these souls will willingly dedicate themselves to this space, making it more powerful. That’s the secret of this space!"

Souls inherently possess great strength; otherwise, demons wouldn’t need to collect special souls. However, the power can only be harnessed through a pact’s strength or the soul’s voluntary dedication.

Demons gain human souls through contracts, while this space does so by fulfilling the wishes of souls...

Having seen through all this, the space remained mysterious, but it no longer exuded the eerie aura it had before.

"But if that’s the case, I probably won’t be able to see her."

Wen Wen sighed softly, then flew up to approach a group of entangled high school students.

Now that he had determined that the Deer Head Monster’s purpose was to absorb human souls, he couldn’t just ignore it.

Though the souls might be voluntarily dedicated, and it might seem utterly worthwhile to them, just as police cannot stand by and watch someone commit suicide, Wen Wen also couldn’t stand by and watch them dedicate themselves willingly.

If the man in the trench coat knew that by seeing his fiancée for the last time, her soul would disappear forever, he probably wouldn’t have wanted that either.

However, what surprised Wen Wen was that when he arrived, four high school students were sitting together playing cards, their faces adorned with innocent smiles, which was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

The girl who was brought here tied up is named Xin Xue, and she was classmates with Zheng Han and Li Youyou.

Xin Xue and Li Youyou were close friends, and both Zheng Han and another boy liked Li Youyou, as these four would often play cards together.

One day, the four went hiking together. The two boys went to a mountain shop to buy supplies and when they returned, they saw Xin Xue glowing with spots of light standing at the edge of a cliff, while Li Youyou had already fallen off the cliff.

Therefore, the two boys believed that Xin Xue used her superpower to kill Li Youyou and from then on despised her, treating her as an enemy.

After arriving here this time, through the words of Li Youyou, they learned that Xin Xue had actually tried to use her superpower to save Li Youyou but was a step too late.

It was also due to the guilt in her heart that Xin Xue let Zheng Han and the other tie her up and bring her here.

Having resolved the misunderstanding, the four got back together and started playing poker cards again.

Wen Wen stood by and watched, his mood also easing slightly:

"I must say, high schoolers’ stories are purer than the previous two groups, but Li Youyou’s wish must have been to help them resolve the misunderstanding. Once their card game is over, she should disappear."

"To save her, her soul must be captured into the Sanctuary at the end of the card game!"

There shouldn’t be a problem here for now, Wen Wen shifted his gaze towards Hou Murong and Hou Muyao on the other side, who were now on edge, ready to fight at any moment.

Hou Murong’s power seems to be able to release certain superpowers through the talismans he drew, while Hou Muyao’s power was similar to Hou Murong’s.

As Wen Wen approached the two, he noticed something off in their conversation.

Hou Murong said excitedly, "We agreed yesterday that I only wanted to experience one day, and now that I’m back, why won’t you agree to come back?"

"Do you want to stay here yourself? You don’t understand the terror of death. I don’t need you to take my place!"

Hou Muyao was silent, tears slipping from the corner of his eyes, but he still did not agree to Hou Murong’s request.

From the brief conversation, Wen Wen understood the relationship between the two.

Hou Muyao’s last wish was to return to the outside world for a day, and he only needed one day.

Because of the connection between the twins and the strength of this space, they successfully swapped bodies, with Hou Muyao experiencing a day of living in Hou Murong’s body.

Today, he came back as promised, wanting to put his brother back into his body to return to the real world to live, while he would rest forever in this bizarre space.

But to his surprise, Hou Murong refused to swap bodies, wanting his brother to live on in the outside world using his body.

Of course, Hou Muyao disagreed, resulting in their argument.

Wen Wen finally understood why Hou Murong’s body had the stench of a decaying corpse.

Because it was housing Hou Muyao’s soul, and Hou Muyao had been killed by a decaying corpse monster...
