Chapter 781: Chapter 681: Inside the Warehouse

In the spacious warehouse, Wen Wen sat on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, a black alarm clock placed on the floor.

This warehouse was originally used for temporary storage of toilet paper, but recently, the people of Shenchuan City, driven by some strange impulse, had started hoarding toilet paper frantically, leaving the warehouse empty.

One by one, the voters were brought into the warehouse by bats, yet Wen Wen did not spare them a second glance.

Wen Wen had seen all these voters before, so they held no novelty for him.

The girl in a bathrobe looked at Wen Wen with a slight flush on her face, thinking, "So vampires really are this handsome, might something happen between us later..."

Hmm...

When resting with closed eyes, others could not tell that Wen Wen’s eyes were slightly small.

The burning gaze made Wen Wen unable to resist opening his eyes to look at the woman, his fingers twitched a few times but he calmed down and continued to rest with closed eyes.

He was a bit curious about whether the woman wore anything under her bathrobe, but with so many people around, Wen Wen ultimately felt too embarrassed to find out.

To these voters, Wen Wen was too mysterious.

Wearing a black coat, with a gun holster faintly visible at his waist and a vague, chilling aura about him, most importantly, some of them had seen Wen Wen just yesterday!

So, although full of confusion, no one dared to ask Wen Wen what exactly happened.

Because they seriously suspected that it was Wen Wen who had brought them here!

And their suspicions were correct!

Tao Qingqing worked efficiently, and by just before eleven o’clock, she had brought all twenty-one people to the warehouse.

The reason there were twenty-one people was, of course, because Wen Wen had let Cai Wenshang go.

By observing who the resentment struck first, he could determine the behavior patterns of these resentments.

If Cai Wenshang remained unharmed throughout, it would indicate that disrupting the order could to some extent prevent the resentments, and as long as they found the last voter, the issue could be resolved.

If Cai Wenshang were the first to die, then Wen Wen would have to consider other options.

Once everyone was gathered, Wen Wen remained silent, a swarm of small bats flew behind him and materialized into Tao Qingqing’s form, massaging his shoulders and back.

At first, they were very anxious, but when they realized that Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing were almost ignoring them,

they began to try to escape from there, but whenever they attempted to leave, the bats would block them back, and a terrifying aura pervaded the entire warehouse.

"You all, your time of death is approaching!"

The sudden voice made all the voters, including Cai Wenshang, shudder.

Wen Wen pressed the alarm clock and smiled at everyone, "Sorry, my alarm scared you."

Rallying at the sound of the alarm clock, they all sighed with relief, but Wen Wen immediately added, "But in another five minutes, it will be midnight, and you could die at any moment..."

The warehouse fell as silent as death, all the voters pale-faced; they knew upon seeing the black mark on their hands that they might die that day.

But hearing it from Wen Wen’s mouth still shocked them profoundly.

"I will tell you some ways to try to save yourselves, but if those methods fail, I won’t intervene personally, because that would mean causing some other people to die ahead of their time."

The voters immediately bombarded Wen Wen with opinions:

"We are right by your side, so of course you should save us first."

"How do you know that saving us will cause others to die..."

Tao Qingqing, who was massaging Wen Wen’s shoulders, suddenly released a blood-red energy, rendering the voters speechless in an instant.

"Shut up, you have no room to negotiate."

Wen Wen patted Tao Qingqing’s hand, stopping her from intimidating the others.

"Most likely, your deaths would occur by accident, so I gathered you in this empty warehouse where there’s hardly anything that could lead to accidental deaths. I reckon that thing doesn’t have the ability to pull down a meteor from the sky."

"Additionally, later on, you will all kneel down and loudly apologize. The apology should be directed to those people who were hurt by your irresponsible comments. The more poignant and sincere, the better. If necessary, you may harm yourselves as a form of atonement."

"If you refuse to apologize, I will give you some surprises."

This method of apology was a tactic a Demon Hunter had told Wen Wen about. Currently, the most troublesome element was essentially those grievances. As long as the grievances were resolved, the disaster would naturally subside.

However, resolving these grievances was not an easy task, and asking these people to apologize was merely an attempt by Wen Wen.

As soon as he had finished speaking, the clock struck midnight. Wen Wen glared at the voters who, after exchanging glances with each other, saw only Cai Wenshang kneeling down while the rest were still confused about the situation.

Then Wen Wen pulled out a submachine gun and fired several shots into the empty ground.

"In five seconds, whoever is still standing..."

Thump, thump, twenty-one voters promptly knelt on the ground.

Cai Wenshang knelt in the most standard posture, continuously and loudly apologizing. The others, though reluctant, had no choice but to follow Cai Wenshang’s example under the threat of Wen Wen’s gun.

Afterward, Wen Wen stepped back and vanished into the shadows of the warehouse corner.

The voters’ volume of apologies grew louder and their emotions more agitated.

Earlier, Wen Wen had secreted a small bone plate inside Cai Wenshang’s clothing, which bore a small Array that made Cai Wenshang’s emotions more easily influence others.

This bone plate used straightforward knowledge, but was created by Wen Wen in a flash of inspiration after he had seen that enormous Rune.

Being able to design an Array with specific functionality based on a particular need marked a tremendous advance from nothing to something.

Starting today, Wen Wen could now apply the Runes knowledge he had been diligently studying to real situations, rather than just theoretical knowledge.

In the noisy warehouse, a shadowy black hourglass silently emerged, followed by a Monster covered entire birthday faces. It appeared inside the warehouse.

This Monster was none other than Ning Zhewan, who had previously escaped from Wen Wen’s grasp. He quickly crawled among these twenty-one people. Upon seeing the Monster, the voters’ legs went weak, and they could only apologize louder.

The more he crawled, the more confused Ning Zhewan became.

He was not entirely a Monster driven by grievances, and upon witnessing this scene, he felt a stir of compassion.

These people were apologizing; they knew they were wrong; they merely liked to spout off online and were not necessarily involved in those violent actions. Did they really deserve to die?

"Indeed, you are not as resolute as you seem,"

Wen Wen appeared next to Ning Zhewan, holding a steaming hot milk tea in his hand.
