Chapter 790: Chapter 790 Apology Conference

After leaving Ning Zhewan, Wen Wen obtained a list from Ding Mingguang, which was the complete list of voters he could find.

Wen Wen then forwarded this list to the Hunters Association, asking them to find the voters on the list within ten hours and bring them to the largest square in Shenchuan City.

Wen Wen had withheld a piece of critical intelligence from the Hunters Association, not revealing that Ning Zhewan was on the brink of death.

Because once that was said, the Hunters Association wouldn’t mobilize their full resources to do this.

In this matter, Wen Wen held a bit of selfishness.

He couldn’t let Ning Zhewan kill all those people, but also didn’t want the matter to just end like that.

Wen Wen’s brain had almost exploded from the Evil God; could those people really just live peacefully and without any sense of guilt, as if they were turning the page on the incident and pretending it never happened?

No!

Wen Wen had to give them a sense of participation!

At least until their resentment subsided, Wen Wen wanted to give them a kind of release.

Additionally, Wen Wen simultaneously received materials sent by Ding Mingguang, which were about Xia Weiyi’s life.

The former Xia Weiyi was just an ordinary person, and with Ding Mingguang’s capabilities, it was easy for him to unearth everything about him.

It even included a record of the time when he was in high school and secretly used his father’s ID card to watch adult movies in a corner of an internet cafe.

However, Wen Wen paid no attention to these trivial details; what he focused on was why Xia Weiyi was so obsessed with summoning the Evil God, as he didn’t seem to be under any mental control.

Xia Weiyi’s original name was Xia Bingbao, and he changed it to Xia Weiyi after graduating from college.

He had been admitted to a top postgraduate program at a Federation university, which wasn’t located in the Capital; however, Tang Xiaoyi needed to work in the Capital District.

For the next few years, the two of them were going to live in different places, and Tang Xiaoyi, worried about their future, didn’t want Xia Bingbao to leave.

Consequently, Xia Bingbao changed his name to Xia Weiyi as a promise to Tang Xiaoyi, swearing that he would only love her for the rest of his life.

Even separated by an ocean, the two of them remained as close as ever, talking on the phone late into the night every day, occasionally having minor arguments but always reconciling in the end.

Later, to keep Xia Weiyi from being too lonely, Tang Xiaoyi occasionally sent him some of her private photos.

When taking the pictures, she hired a female photographer, who also promised not to keep any negatives.

But somehow, there was a problem somewhere along the line, and her photos spread across the internet overnight.

All kinds of accusations came pouring in, and with Tang Xiaoyi being vulnerable to public opinion, she was unable to argue back, also frequently suffering harassment and judgment.

Ultimately, she couldn’t withstand the pressure of public opinion and ended her life with a silk scarf Xia Weiyi had bought her.

Xia Weiyi, on the Other Side of the Ocean, aged decades overnight upon receiving the news.

He wandered the streets of the US-Canada District like a zombie, then stumbled upon Lofvis’s Rune Book in a box outside an antique shop.

Through the Rune Book, Lofvis told Xia Weiyi that if he could bring It into this world, It would grant him any wish.

Even that of resurrecting the dead...

Wen Wen sighed and deleted the file.

As a perpetual bachelor, he didn’t understand the love between the two of them; after all, understanding love was a task too difficult for him.

But Wen Wen knew what it felt like to lose the pillar of one’s spirit.

Therefore, Wen Wen’s attitude was one of respect, but not forgiveness.

Afterwards, Wen Wen entered the Sanctuary and began to design a new Rune Array using the knowledge from the Rune Book.

This Rune Array’s function was similar to that of the sigil slab, but its effect was much more powerful and could influence even more people at the same time.

He wanted to use this Rune Array to make those voters who could arrive within ten hours offer a genuine apology.

Although being influenced by Supernatural Power might make this apology seem less sincere, it was the limit of what Wen Wen could achieve.

Ten hours later, in Shenchuan City’s largest public square, over a thousand people with varied expressions gathered.

Each one of them bore a black hourglass sigil on their hands, so they knew why they had come, but they didn’t know what awaited them.

The armed Supporters formed a circle on the perimeter, guns at the ready, pointed at the voters, preventing them from leaving.

Suddenly, terrified screams came from the back of the square.

People turned their heads and then let out fearful shrieks, wanting to flee but were pointed back by the cold muzzles of guns.

For what approached was a monster towering two to three meters high, covered with hideous faces!

This monster was Ning Zhewan.

He radiated an uneasy Qi that made all the voters tremble, but in reality, he was merely forcing himself to stay upright.

For these people were about to apologize to the grievances, and he had to stand there and watch the entirety of this process.

The crowd squeezed around the edges of the square, clearing a path in the middle to watch as Ning Zhewan slowly walked to the center, to the podium normally used for raising the Federation flag.

Wen Wen also stood atop the podium, his body emitting a faint black Energy, rendering his features indiscernible to those below as he said loudly to everyone:

"I want to tell you a story, one with quite a few protagonists, so I will only pick out the most memorable to share."

"The first main character is ’Ning Zhewan.’ His parents chose this name hoping he would live a safe life, even if it meant making many compromises. Evidently, he compromised his whole life, according to his parents’ wishes."

"Thus, at the end of his life, he wanted to be someone ’unbending’..."

Wen Wen talked for a long time, nearly an hour, which included the story of Ning Zhewan as well as the grievances that plagued him.

The fear that filled the hearts of the voters standing in the square gradually faded, replaced by guilt.

Of course, part of this was due to the influence of the Rune Array and the small but persuasive rhetorical techniques Wen Wen used in his speech, but more so it was because the voters, after watching the last Judgment video, reflected out of fear.

Ning Zhewan stood on the podium, comfortably closing his eyes as many faces on his body shed tears.

This was a rare experience for the grievances because as grievances, they could only shed blood tears.

In the end, Wen Wen raised his arm and called out, "Finally, apologize, and do not forget this day. Do all that you can to atone!"

After saying this, Wen Wen did not hesitate and immediately turned to leave.

He had done what needed to be done, and the rest was simply these people crying out to heaven, deeply remorseful.

Then Ning Zhewan and the grievances would be moved, and the matter would come to an end.

Wen Wen didn’t want to watch that, as it was quite tedious.
