Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 192: Landen Detective Agency (20)

The colossal, hundred-meter-tall giant eye was a brilliant, blood-red, surrounded by hundreds of razor-sharp tentacles that sliced through the air.

It swung its tentacles, slowly approaching in the dark night sky, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Lord, tell me this isn't true..."

Tony stared at the scene in a daze, forgetting why he had even come here. Chief Blainey's voice echoed from the phone.

Lowering the phone, Tony raised his pistol and aimed at the monster in the sky.

His small figure appeared almost comical against the hundred-meter-tall monstrosity.

Tony's intuition told him that a single shot wouldn't kill this monster.

But if it remained alive, the entire city would be destroyed.

Even without a mission to save the world, Tony decided to act.

An inner voice whispered to him.

Tony's eyes reddened, tears welling up. He was afraid.

But some force held him in place.

Was it responsibility?

Hardly. More likely, it was his still-beating heart.

Thump!

Suddenly, a hand landed on Tony's shoulder.

He flinched and spun around, seeing Bai Liang's handsome face.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Tony, you've already won. Now, allow me to finish this."

"Bai Liang!"

Tony froze for a moment, then snapped back to attention and said sternly, "What are you doing here? This is no place for you, leave!"

He didn't want this talented young man to die here.

This monster was too terrifying; an ordinary person couldn't possibly handle it.

Even if Bai Liang claimed he could stop time.

【Wow, the boss of this dungeon is this giant eye?】

【Are you saying that to get an SSS-rank, you have to defeat this monster?】

【Is this a joke? If every boss is this terrifying, how are ordinary Players supposed to get an SSS-rank? Is it only cheaters like Bai Liang who deserve it?】

【No, remember, Xu Yaowen told Bai Liang that with nine Silver Items, this monster could be defeated. So other Players also have a chance.】

【This is too scary. If I encountered a boss like that, I wouldn't have the courage to fight.】

Upon seeing the giant eye, the live stream viewers were also frightened.

Before, they had thought the boss might be the size of an ordinary human.

But who would have thought it would be a hundred meters tall!

"Mr. Tony, don't panic."

Bai Liang grinned and looked at the monster in the sky: "If we don't try, how will we know if we can defeat it?"

Snap!

A sound echoed, and the entire world plunged into silence. Even the monster's tentacles froze.

Above Bai Liang's head, a Death Eye appeared, rapidly expanding until it was larger than the giant eye.

Whoosh!

A purple beam shot from the Death Eye, instantly piercing the giant eye!

In the next moment, the Death Eye vanished.

Snap!

With another sound, the world returned to normal.

"Listen to me, get as far away as you can. I'll deal with this monster," Tony said.

Bai Liang raised a hand, interrupting him, then snapped his fingers: Snap!

Then he said to Tony, "Mr. Tony, look up."

"What?"

Tony, utterly shocked, lifted his head and witnessed a sight he would remember for the rest of his life!

The terrifying eye had been pierced through, and a dreadful force was spreading around the hole, rapidly disintegrating its body!

A moment later, the monster completely turned to ash and vanished without a trace.

Tony froze.

"What?"

He looked at Bai Liang, who spread his hands: "See? If we don't try, how will we know if we can win?"

"The facts proved it was simple, didn't they?"

Tony nodded mechanically, but then snapped back to attention and widened his eyes: "Are you saying you destroyed it?"

"That's obvious," Bai Liang smiled.

Tony opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word, only asking, "How... how did you do that?"

"I told you I could stop time."

"No, no, I don't doubt your ability. But how did you attack it when time was stopped?" Tony looked around, ensuring Bai Liang had no weapon.

Bai Liang merely smiled, not answering. Seeing this, Tony understood that this was likely a more important secret than stopping time.

Then he asked another question.

"By the way, does your time-stopping ability have any limitations?"

Bai Liang looked at him, puzzled: "Why do you ask?"

"If there weren't, you could have just destroyed it without talking to me. Why would you deliberately say something to me?" Tony reasoned logically.

"Hmm..." Bai Liang mused. "Actually, I could have just killed it, but I was afraid it would scare you."

Tony: "???"

He could have simply acted, but he specifically showed that he killed the monster so as not to scare Tony with the sudden death of the giant eye.

Honestly, he almost cried!

"Oh, I'm so touched! Rarely does anyone care about me like this!"

The smile on Bai Liang's face suddenly vanished. He stopped joking with Tony and frowned, looking at the sky where the giant eye had once been.

Noticing something was amiss, Tony asked, "Bai Liang, is something wrong?"

He hadn't heard the sound of the dungeon completion. Maybe he was wrong, and that wasn't the boss?

Bai Liang shook his head and asked, "Mr. Tony, did you bring that book we read this afternoon?"

The book?

Tony nodded, growing even more confused: "Bai Liang, what's going on? Hasn't the monster been destroyed yet?"

He took the book from his pocket and handed it to Bai Liang.

"No, it's dead. But this isn't the end," Bai Liang replied, opening the book.

He quickly flipped to the page he had read that afternoon, trying to find clues.

However, there was little useful information in the book. Much about the giant eye was not described there.

Bai Liang closed the book, but his gaze incidentally fell upon the author's name on the cover.

Barlow Byrne?

He raised an eyebrow and asked Tony, "Mr. Tony, what's old Byrne's full name?"

Tony, still not understanding, replied, "If I'm not mistaken, it's Barlow Byrne."
