Chapter 625: Chapter 614 Panic Escalates

Wen Wen looked at Tao Qingqing, tears brimming in the corners of her eyes, and felt a mysterious thrill of satisfaction in his heart. Her cute expression as she closed her eyes in pain when he tapped her head, it seemed a pity not to tease her a bit more.

So, Wen Wen prepared to find another reason to tap her a few more times, but before he could act, he turned to look behind him.

"Feels like something is chasing us."

A wave of heat swept over as a massive ghostly face made of fire roared toward Wen Wen, the very Candle Fire Ghost Face that had nearly injured Tao Qingqing before.

In the Illusionary Town, it wasn’t possible to determine strength through the perception of Qi, but Wen Wen had observed this creature before and knew it wasn’t any special monster, merely something created by an Illusion Technique.

For Wen Wen, this Candle Fire Ghost Face posed no threat. He took out the phantom colored cigarette holder, placed it in his mouth, and blew out a breath, forming a gigantic red Smoking Ghost Face that roared angrily at the Candle Fire Ghost Face, startling it into a moment of shock.

Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Wen Wen darted beneath the Candle Fire Ghost Face, spinning violently to create a bright pink, glittering tornado.

’Seven Sharks Fighting Technique. Shark Whirlwind!’

The intense pressure of the wind smeared the face of the Candle Fire Ghost Face, which hadn’t even gotten a chance to attack before being swept up into the tornado, extinguishing completely amidst fearful cries.

After the Candle Fire Ghost Face vanished, Wen Wen stopped spinning. Before he could even catch his breath, he noticed that fires were starting out of nowhere in the air, coalescing into a small Candle Fire Ghost Face that grew larger and larger.

"It seems this thing is The Undead and is getting bigger and bigger," Tao Qingqing warned Wen Wen.

Wen Wen shook his head and said, "Aside from that Awei fellow, I’ve never seen any other Undead Creatures. It wasn’t that we didn’t kill it; we just haven’t found its weakness yet."

After speaking, Wen Wen jumped to a higher place and flew directly toward his target. The Candle Fire Ghost Face, with a frightening appearance, pursued Wen Wen as well.

After just a few seconds of flight, Wen Wen landed on a pile of ruins, the place where Tao Qingqing had fought with the Hateful Demon Monster. Countless Black Chains flew from his hands, instantly clearing all the debris and entering the cellar where Tao Qingqing had found the ancient book.

Inside the cellar, a red candle was burning quietly.

The Candle Fire Ghost Face, much slower than Wen Wen, had just flown to the entrance of the cellar. Seeing Wen Wen’s actions, it roared viciously as if wanting to tear Wen Wen apart.

Wen Wen smiled slightly and pinched out the candle flame with two fingers.

As the flame went out, the Candle Fire Ghost Face, which had been baring its teeth, showed a frightened expression. Its body became smaller and smaller until it disappeared with a wail.

Before entering the Illusionary Town, Moyadi had briefed Wen Wen on many points to note, one of which was how to deal with the illusions within the town.

A pure Illusionary Realm needed no logic at all, but in a place like Illusionary Town where reality and illusion were interwoven, many things followed some basic logic, like how a flame couldn’t burn out of thin air.

"Now then, it’s time to find the bastard disguised as me. Anyway, I can’t let it have an easier time than the last one who impersonated me."

Tian Family Town wasn’t big, but with the perception of Qi being ineffective, finding someone was no easy task. Wen Wen could only instruct Qingqing to dispatch her little bats to monitor the entire town and rush over if they detected anything unusual, while the two of them waited in the center of the town.

After a while, the group of children that Tao Qingqing had encountered before bounced back again.

Wen Wen could clearly see that the boy leading the group had his eye sockets pierced through, yet his face still bore a smile, giving him an extremely eerie appearance.

Perhaps because this boy was a habitual offender, or maybe because the Illusionary Realm was merely imitating some actions from his life, he charged at Tao Qingqing again, attempting to take advantage of the opportunity to grope her once more.

Tao Qingqing wanted to dodge, but found that Wen Wen had already stepped in front of her and kicked the boy away with one swift move.

"Don’t coddle this kind of bratty kid who tries to take advantage. I won’t kill him but I’ve got your back. I was irritated with this guy the moment I started monitoring you," Wen Wen said, looking rather refreshed after kicking the boy.

A smile appeared on Tao Qingqing’s face, this kick had truly accentuated the differences between the real and the fake Wen Wen.

Then Wen Wen said to Tao Qingqing, "Speaking of the imposter, he has this arrogant demeanor as if he looks down on everyone, occasionally picking his nose and cursing at people for no reason—just a complete idiot. How could you have been deceived by him for so long."

Tao Qingqing was stunned for a moment, unsure of how to respond as she knew telling the truth would definitely get her punished.

"Murder, murder! Zhao Xiaolei has been kicked to death by a pervert in women’s clothing, waaah, Mommy..."

Cries rang out as the boy’s companions, who had previously been too scared to do anything but stand to the side, suddenly started crying and screaming while running.

Wen Wen turned his head to see that the body of the boy he had kicked was rapidly decomposing. Previously, only his eyes had been penetrated, but now he was completely unrecognizable.

He knew that the force of his kick, although it may have seemed exaggerated, was still not enough to reduce a corpse to such a state.

And based on the children’s reactions, the decomposition didn’t happen right after Wen Wen’s kick; it was a change that occurred after some time...

Wen Wen’s thoughts had just paused when the entire town suddenly transformed. The sky immediately turned somber, and the soil revealed hints of dark red. The strange scenes that Tao Qingqing had only occasionally felt before became the norm in this town in an instant.

The once peaceful town became extremely noisy, filled with screams and cries. Fear became the only emotion of the town.

Although people had occasionally died before and the deceased still lived alongside the townspeople—so much so that they didn’t notice anything amiss—all of a sudden, their normal friends and family turned into corpses that seemed long dead, causing the emotions of the townsfolk to collapse instantly.

Wen Wen floated in mid-air, overlooking the town, his eyes filled with urgency. If he couldn’t find the Hateful Demon Monster quickly, there was no telling what would become of this town.

Wen Wen was adept at killing monsters, but he had no ability to soothe the public’s panic-stricken emotions. Trying to do so forcibly might only cause greater panic.

The screaming lasted for quite a while before the townspeople gradually calmed down, the shrieks subsiding to quiet sobs.

Although the corpses were terrifying and completely unacceptable to the townsfolk, and the feeling of terror still lurked like a shadow, after all, those were just motionless corpses that couldn’t cause much panic.

But just when the townspeople were starting to feel a little relieved, those corpses that were lying on the ground started to move again!
