Chapter 779: Chapter 679: No Way Out

The ground was covered with black Light Swords, and Ning Zhewan’s body was pierced by several of them, propping him up until his head was level with Wen Wen’s.

By then, Ning Zhewan’s body had grown more than twice its original size, but his face remained the same size, surrounded by variously sized, twisted faces.

These faces were both male and female, each bearing resentment too thick to dissolve.

His power had greatly increased compared to before, but the effect of the resentment was not powerful enough to defy the heavens. Ultimately, Ning Zhewan’s endurance had its limits, and he still couldn’t resist Wen Wen.

Wen Wen found a willow branch, then took out a small bottle of Holy Water, dipping the branch in it briefly before sprinkling some onto Ning Zhewan’s body, which emitted puffs of white smoke.

"Holy Water has some effect on purifying resentment, but it has limited use. It would be better if my little angel hadn’t fallen."

Then Wen Wen casually threw away the bottle of Holy Water and grabbed Ning Zhewan’s neck with his hand.

There were several small faces on his neck, slick and occasionally sticking out their tongues to lick, which was utterly nauseating, but Wen Wen didn’t care.

Black chains emerged from his hands, eagerly burrowing into Ning Zhewan’s body, causing him immense pain, yet a twisted smile still lingered on his face.

"It seems you’ve never suffered the brutality of the internet, so why did these resentments choose you as their vessel, transforming you into a revenge monster?"

Ning Zhewan sneered, "Choose me? No, I willingly took it upon myself because no one else would stand up for them. Besides, I am not some revenge monster, but an Arbiter!"

Wen Wen took out a mirror and stood it in front of Ning Zhewan.

"Look at yourself now, can you still say you are not a monster?"

Ning Zhewan glanced at his current appearance, stunned; it was the first time he had seen himself like this.

He then laughed again, his smile not fierce but rather warm.

"We are not monsters; we are just together..."

"Huddling together for warmth."

After these words were spoken, all the faces on his body let out a mournful wail, and blue-green energy appeared to resonate, suddenly spreading out around them.

Wen Wen quickly jumped back and saw that the spot where Ning Zhewan had been had turned into a pit five or six meters in diameter, filled with corrosive marks, and outside this pit was a blue-green energy shield.

All the faces on Ning Zhewan’s body looked at Wen Wen with outrage.

"Why must you treat us this way..."

"You are also an accomplice!"

"Die! Die!"

The questioning voices flooded into Wen Wen’s mind, but he simply pressed on his chest, and the Warehouse Manager’s Badge kept those words out.

Meanwhile, the resentment on Ning Zhewan formed a blue-green hourglass, with the sand inside quickly running out—this sand would soon be gone.

"What will happen once the sand runs out?"

Wen Wen tried to approach Ning Zhewan with his hand, but was immediately repulsed by the blue-green energy.

"Aren’t you very powerful? Guess for yourself."

Ning Zhewan’s figure gradually blurred, and despite several attempts, Wen Wen couldn’t get near, ultimately only watching as Ning Zhewan disappeared into thin air.

"This time I was careless, you didn’t catch me this time, and you won’t have a chance next time!"

After the voice faded away, all the strangeness at the site disappeared, leaving only a large crater as proof that this was not an illusion.

"No chance next time...heh, I have more opportunities than you can count."

Wen Wen smiled faintly, then gathered up all the chains.

For Wen Wen, Ning Zhewan was not really a problem; it would have been very easy for Wen Wen to deal with him.

But what concerned Wen Wen was that near-indissoluble resentment.

If he couldn’t resolve that resentment, the voters would ultimately die one after another, and Wen Wen couldn’t possibly look after over seven thousand people dispersed around the world by himself.

Therefore, after noticing Ning Zhewan’s ability to escape, Wen Wen pretended to be momentarily careless and let him go, feigning inability to touch the energy shield as well.

In fact, inside Ning Zhewan’s body, chains from the Sanctuary were left behind, allowing Wen Wen to monitor Ning Zhewan’s condition through the Sanctuary and instantly reach his side at any moment.

Wen Wen looked at the mess in the kindergarten playground, scratched his head, and took out a bunch of figurines to place in a classroom of the kindergarten.

These figurines were produced by enterprises under the Foundation, and although they were not as good as those made by Xu Hai himself, they could somewhat make up for the losses.

Then Wen Wen made a phone call, his body transformed into a stream of data, and he instantly appeared in another corner of the city.

This was the home of the second voter. Wen Wen had been secretly observing here before he went to Cai Wenshang’s house, and the second voter was safe when he left.

But the moment Wen Wen appeared this time, he heard sobbing sounds, those of the second voter’s wife and mother, with a white hearse outside the window, and a few people scattered around watching.

"Sigh..."

Wen Wen shook his head, used the ability of a transparent monster to make his figure vanish in these ordinary people’s eyes, and then began to investigate clues in the second voter’s home.

The cause of the second voter’s death was electrocution during a shower due to a leaking water heater.

There were no remnants of Superpower in any room, and it seemed the second voter indeed died accidentally.

But Wen Wen personally tested it and found that the water heater indeed had a problem, yet the degree of electric current could not kill an adult.

This phenomenon was almost identical to that experienced by Cai Wenshang, so the second voter must have been killed by that resentment.

After identifying the cause of death, Wen Wen didn’t stay there and continued his visit to the first twenty voters he had found earlier.

The results were somewhat disappointing to Wen Wen. Among the first twenty voters, except for Cai Wenshang, who Wen Wen had sent to the Sanctuary, all had died ’accidentally’.

Some died from a perforated stomach due to excessive drinking; some died from accidentally falling into a trash bin while taking out the garbage; some were strangled by a clothesline while hanging clothes...

Most importantly, the twenty-first voter had also died!

He died by accidentally igniting a fart while cooking, which was lit by the stove’s flame and burned him alive...

After Wen Wen protected Cai Wenshang, the twenty-first person suffered misfortune, meaning that the resentment would certainly kill twenty people within one day. Even if Wen Wen saved a few, it would only affect those who came after.

Moreover, the deaths of these twenty people weren’t spread evenly over twenty-four hours of a day; they could also all be killed within a short time, making prevention extremely difficult due to the irregular timing.

Once twelve o’clock at night passed, within the span until the next midnight, another new set of twenty people would become targets, and for the moment, Wen Wen really couldn’t think of a way to break this deadlock.
