Chapter 424: My Neck Is About To Break

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the first day, Zhang Zhiwen planned to head to C City. However, on the way, he received a news notification on his phone. It was about C City again, and the news headline was very familiar.

“The human-eating incidents in C City have been brewing. The number of victims has increased threefold. Countless people feel restless!”

Zhang Zhiwen was confused. He finally clicked on the news.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Huo asked.

Zhang Zhiwen said, “I thought it was only a headline. I didn’t expect it to happen again today. When I thought about eating humans, I thought of what you said yesterday about obtaining genetic information by eating living creatures.”

Wei Huo said, “I won’t follow you around for long. If my fantasy world is destined to end, I will leave this planet and go to various places in the universe to investigate the truth. That’s why you have to make any requests as soon as possible.”

Zhang Zhiwen was confused. He asked, “Don’t you want to do something else after leaving the fantasy world? For example, obtain a body or dominate the world.”

Wei Huo said, “No.”

Zhang Zhiwen: “Er…”

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhiwen had already clicked on the news. The news was filled with illustrations, and there was a video attached at the end. Zhang Zhiwen frowned when he saw it, as there were too many mosaics in the picture. Almost the whole picture was made of mosaics.

When he clicked on the video, he saw the news broadcast on City C’s news channel. It seemed like the news, social media, and Moments had been discussing this matter recently.

The man-eating incident!

This was the core of everyone’s discussions. There had been two consecutive human-eating incidents in C City. The number of victims had reached 33, and all the victims’ deaths had been extremely tragic. Some had been gnawed away until only bones had been left.

Experts said that the culprit was a carnivorous animal. It could be a wolf or a bear, but how could there be a wolf or a bear in a big city like C City?

Over the past two days, Wei Huo’s mental strength had spread to many people’s bodies. Many people were paying attention to the man-eating incident. Through their eyes and memories, Wei Huo understood the incident from different angles.

“The victims seem to have been found in the morning. In other words, did the attacks take place at night?” Zhang Zhiwen mumbled.

Zhang Zhiwen’s perspective was not as broad as Wei Huo’s. He did not know much, but Wei Huo knew a lot of different things. He said, “The victims seem to be creators.”

Zhang Zhiwen was speechless.

Creators? Are you talking about creators like me?

Wei Huo said, “Comics aficionados, literature enthusiasts, video production connoisseurs, storytellers, web writers, association writers, poets, singers, and composers. The people who were harmed were all creators of various industries.”

Zhang Zhiwen was a little worried. “Are you saying that my trip will be dangerous as well? That’s not right. How does the murderer differentiate between people of different professions? It’s fine if they are professionals, but he was even able to find amateur part-timers. How did he find people who only create without publishing their work?”

“It’s possible!” Wei Huo said. “As long as he has the ability to spread his mental strength across others like me.”

Zhang Zhiwen’s eyes widened. He wanted to say, “Did someone else transmigrate from the fantasy world?”

However, he was still confused. Thus, he asked, “Why does he eat people?”

Wei Huo thought about it carefully and said, “Perhaps… his mental strength is not strong enough, so he can grow by devouring mental strength. Human mental strength is actually hidden in the various cells of a human’s body. There are many hidden places, like the brain, the heart, the liver, and other organs… The brains and organs of the victims were eaten, right?”

Zhang Zhiwen shivered. The idea of a monster that ate brains and organs coming from a fantasy world sounded terrifying.

Zhang Zhiwen asked, “Can you kill this monster?”

Wei Huo said, “Yes, but I’m not interested.”

Zhang Zhiwen was stunned. Wei Huo then said, “You can do it yourself.”

Wei Huo wanted to know if the imaginary creature that had escaped from the creator’s brain would be affected if he killed the creator. Would it disappear? Or would it not be affected at all?

Wei Huo’s guess did not affect things. He had not felt anything unusual when Zhang Zhiwen had been about to die. Ever since he had left Zhang Zhiwen’s brain, he had cut off all contact with him.

However, that was not right either. He did not seem to have any connection with Zhang Zhiwen. After all, time in his imagination had stopped, but he was still unaffected. It was as if he was not a creature in Zhang Zhiwen’s mind.

The secrets of souls were still mysterious. No matter how Wei Huo studied them, he could not figure out the secrets of souls at all.

Zhang Zhiwen fell silent after hearing Wei Huo’s opinion. He knew his own capabilities very well.

“Are you running away?” Wei Huo asked.

Zhang Zhiwen was still silent. His mind was a mess.

However, at that moment, the coach bus Zhang Zhiwen was in suddenly braked. All the passengers were shocked by the sudden stop. Someone asked loudly, “Driver, what are you doing?”

The driver’s expression was uncertain. He pointed ahead and said, “There are… wolves!”

The passengers sitting in the front stood up and looked out of the windshield. The passengers by the window stuck their heads outside. Then, they saw six to seven ferocious wolves running toward them.

“Are those f*cking wolves?” someone shouted. “Can wolves grow this big?”

Each of the giant wolves was four to five meters tall. Their eyes were glowing red, and their fur was trembling non-stop. Then, they emitted a weird sound.

“They’re here,” Wei Huo said. “They’re looking for you.”

Zhang Zhiwen was terrified. He immediately begged him. “Wei Huo, save me!”

Boom! One of the giant wolves hit the coach bus, and another wolf bit the side of the coach bus. Then, it tore off the iron sheet on one side of the bus.

“The human-eating incident! This is a wolf from the human-eating incident!” A passenger roared before he was swallowed by a giant wolf.

Zhang Zhiwen was terrified. He knew that the giant wolves were looking for him, as they were staring at him with their red eyes.

Wei Huo said, “I need to control your spine.”

Zhang Zhiwen: “Huh?”

Then, he realized that his body had stood up uncontrollably and leaped out of the window agilely.

Before he could speak, a strong gust of wind attacked him. His body suddenly accelerated, and his head was tilted back.

“My neck! My neck! My neck is breaking!”
