The more Wen Wen fought, the more enraged the monster Wen Wen became. His speed and strength were constantly increasing by small margins, but his attacks became more disorganized.
Wen Wen shook his head, feeling he was being a bit too unfair and it was time to end the fight.
He then planted the steel bar into the floor and, with his fists and feet a blur, prepared to attack the monster Wen Wen's center.
Every punch landed on his arm bends, armpits, and the base of his thighs. After more than ten punches, the monster Wen Wen's limbs felt weak and he could no longer throw punches.
Then Wen Wen's right hand turned black, the Disaster Containment Facility gloves appearing. Green data streams, like ribbons, wrapped around his fist, and he punched the monster Wen Wen in the chest.
With a bang, the monster Wen Wen's chest caved in. He was sent flying, smashing through several walls before stopping.
Wen Wen then unhesitatingly pulled out the steel bar, shifted his body, brought his right leg forward into a lunge, and held the steel bar with his right hand, aiming at the monster Wen Wen's chest, with his left hand supporting the end of the steel bar.
He would not give his opponent any chance to breathe; he wanted to crush him completely in one go!
Although the steel bar was not a sword and greatly affected Wen Wen's combat power, one of the moves from the nameless swordsmanship could still be executed with a steel bar.
That move did not require a blade!
After a simple charge, Wen Wen's body shot forward with a speed that broke the sound barrier. The monster Wen Wen, who had just gotten up, was pierced through the chest by the steel bar.
It wasn't just pierced; centered on the steel bar, the flesh and blood within a roughly fifteen-centimeter radius of his chest was taken away by the thrust.
The name of this move was, Heart Piercer!
After piercing the chest, Wen Wen pulled out the steel bar and was about to stab his head.
But at that moment, a scream made Wen Wen stop. A little girl with a ponytail, dragging a chain, blocked his path.
Wen Wen frowned. Seeing his own actions, he felt a sense of disgust.
"Now I admit you even less as me. Have you fallen this far?"
The monster Wen Wen got up and looked at Wen Wen, cackling, "Heh heh… Coward, you think I'm still like you, with so many meaningless bottom lines and pride in my heart? We stopped being the same long ago!"
Then he chuckled again and said, "However, I really didn't intend to use her to block you. I just want to negotiate a deal with you."
"You should have realized by now that you can't kill me here, so why not lay down your weapons and talk about how to leave this place."
After discovering that Wen Wen's strength far surpassed his own, the monster Wen Wen changed his strategy. Facing Wen Wen head-on was the most foolish course of action; it was better to use Wen Wen to achieve his own goals.
Wen Wen replied coldly, "Didn't you say this place was interesting?"
The monster Wen Wen shook his head, "No matter how interesting a place is, you get tired of it after half a year. I want to leave."
"You know how to leave?"
Wen Wen's eyebrows rose. That iron bed might be related to leaving, but Wen Wen didn't know how to operate it. If he lay down and didn't wake up in reality, he might be trapped here forever.
Therefore, knowing another way to leave was very useful for Wen Wen.
Seeing that Wen Wen was willing to cooperate, the monster Wen Wen relaxed considerably and continued to explain to Wen Wen:
"You've seen that metal plate, right? The gray world outside the mental hospital exists in a different dimension from the real world. And this mental hospital is in yet another dimension from that gray world. Do you understand this?"
Wen Wen nodded. This meant the mental hospital was just an independent space within that gray world.
"This mental hospital is actually an arena. The victor of the arena becomes one of the Death Lord's countless servants. As long as you help me win, the confinement of this mental hospital and the outside world will disappear, and you can then take the opportunity to escape into that gray world."
Wen Wen scoffed, "Escaping to that gray world, what's the difference from being here? I still can't return to reality."
"No, no, no…" The monster Wen Wen wagged his finger and said, "In the past six months, I've been observing that gray world. I've seen monsters enter the real world from that gray world!"
Being able to enter the real world… Could that be the Gray Mist layer?
Wen Wen's eyes gleamed slightly. If it was the Gray Mist layer, then there was a real possibility of returning to the real world. He then narrowed his eyes and asked, "If I help you, what can you give me?"
The monster Wen Wen laughed heartily, "Giving you a chance to leave is already a great gift. I can also hand these two people over to you."
"Not enough. These are just extras," Wen Wen said, unsatisfied.
"Then what do you want…" The monster Wen Wen's laughter stopped abruptly, but the power dynamic was now in Wen Wen's hands, and he could only listen to Wen Wen's unreasonable demands.
Wen Wen's mouth spread into a grin, a smile that bore some resemblance to the one opposite him, "I want what you obtained when we separated!"
…
Following the scent he had recorded earlier, Wen Wen traversed the mental hospital.
After some haggling, Wen Wen and the monster Wen Wen finally reached a verbal agreement: to help him complete this arena battle and leave this place.
Anyone who died once in this arena would become a gladiator after revival.
There were two conditions for a gladiator to ultimately win: the first was to kill enough gladiators, and the second was to have the fewest deaths among all gladiators.
The monster Wen Wen satisfied the first condition, but he did not satisfy the second. Besides him, two other monsters had not died since becoming gladiators.
One was the Blood Handprint Monster, and the other was the Food Crazy he had encountered before.
This was also why the monster Wen Wen had surrendered to Wen Wen when he was about to be killed. Once Wen Wen killed him once, regardless of which of the two monsters died first, the ultimate winner would be the other monster.
The monster Wen Wen said he would go kill the Blood Handprint Monster, and Wen Wen would have to kill the Food Crazy.
During the negotiations, Wen Wen also obtained a lot of other information from the monster Wen Wen and had a certain understanding of the whole situation. Sudan Novel Network
When Wen Wen first arrived in this world, he was already in a semi-insane state. Then, while his consciousness was unclear, he opened that iron bed.
Then, there was something indescribable within the iron bed. That thing wrapped around Wen Wen, as if constructing something on him, and then he fell unconscious.
When he woke up, Wen Wen's body had split into two: one lying on the bed, and the other kneeling beside it.
The Wen Wen under the bed watched helplessly as the Wen Wen on the bed slowly disappeared, and no matter what he did on the bed, he could not leave this place.
Finally, in this purgatory-like place, he descended into complete madness…
