"Nianli Daotian, this truly… surprises me not at all."
Yan Xiu had said something similar before, but Wen Wen had dismissed it as the fellow being jealous of his handsome face.
Although he himself had done some morally questionable things, he hadn't reached the level of Nianli Daotian. The only explanation was that he was carrying the accumulated Nianli from the entire facility!
This meant that the facility was now bound to Wen Wen, sharing in fortune and misfortune.
However, if Nianli truly existed, did good and evil, reward and retribution, and the cycle of karma also truly exist?
Countless philosophers had pondered such questions without finding answers, and Wen Wen found it equally difficult to comprehend. But the old security guard, who could see Nianli, proved somewhat useful to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen considered recruiting him as a containment specialist after this matter was resolved.
Even if he was unwilling to go on external missions due to his appearance, he could still work within the facility. A facility entirely led by Wen Wen could also become his sanctuary.
Just as he was about to try to persuade the old security guard to join, Wen Wen's expression changed slightly, and he then smiled, saying, "I would very much like to continue our chat, but someone has come to disturb us now."
Wen Wen flicked his wrist, and several playing cards flew out, colliding with something that struck with a whistling sound through the air, both falling to the ground.
The one who attacked Wen Wen was a metal fork that looked like a dung fork.
Wen Wen looked at the approaching figure, stretched his limbs casually, and said, "You must be 'Chang Yi Shou,' the beast tamer from Absurd Sayings, what a strange name…"
"However, I blocked your attack with just a few cards. That's not how you use a throwing weapon."
A man, bare-chested and wearing a beast-skin skirt, walked over, pulled the dung fork from the ground, and slung it over his shoulder. Behind him followed a powerfully built tiger, nearly four meters long.
"I'll use it however I damn well please, it's none of your business."
"Yuan Chou Chou's aura has disappeared. Did you do this?" Chang Yi Shou asked Wen Wen brazenly.
Chang Yi Shou had originally intended to smash through the ceiling and make a grand entrance before Wen Wen.
But after struggling for a while, he discovered that the floor of this building was unusually hard, and the thickness between floors was also incorrect. Even after digging over a meter deep, he couldn't reach the next floor.
So, he had no choice but to go downstairs and find trouble with Wen Wen.
If he hadn't been so persistent in dealing with the floor, Wen Wen wouldn't have had time to chat with the buck-toothed old security guard for so long.
Wen Wen repeated the name Chang Yi Shou mentioned: "Yuan Chou Chou… you mean that guy who's round and smelly? That name is quite fitting. You might see him soon."
Chang Yi Shou looked at the bloodstains on the ground and the toe emitting a foul odor, realizing that Yuan Chou Chou had already been killed by Wen Wen. Su Dan Novel Network
Immediately, his anger flared, and he roared at Wen Wen, "How dare you lay a hand on someone from our Absurd Sayings, you're asking for death!"
With that, he charged at Wen Wen at high speed, while several small animals, including crows, venomous snakes, and wolverines, emerged from under his beast-skin skirt, attacking Wen Wen from all directions.
The conspicuous striped tiger, however, remained lying on the ground, lazily licking its fur, showing no interest in the battle.
"This guy doesn't seem to have a very good brain. He's a physical superpowered individual… that makes him easy to deal with."
Just as he was about to reach Wen Wen, Wen Wen seized the opportunity and stomped his foot. One end of a floorboard directly lifted, striking Chang Yi Shou between the legs and sending him flying, his head embedded in the ceiling, unable to move.
"As a superpowered individual at the Assimilation realm, you're truly quite useless…"
Wen Wen ignored the other attacking small animals. San Zai'er and Si Zai'er appeared simultaneously, and within moments, they dealt with those small animals.
Wen Wen knew that Si Zai'er had this strength, but he hadn't expected San Zai'er to dispatch two of them so cleanly.
Chang Yi Shou, after all, was a beast tamer at the Assimilation realm. The small animals he released were actually similar in strength to the earlier San Zai'er. Just growing venomous fangs had boosted San Zai'er's strength so much?
Perhaps he should find a few more 'wives' for San Zai'er to eat…
Chang Yi Shou struggled to pull his head out of the ceiling, shaking his head, not quite grasping the situation.
He yelled at Wen Wen, "Who the hell are you calling useless!"
"Of course, it's you!"
As he spoke, Wen Wen assumed a lunge stance and delivered a straight punch to Chang Yi Shou's body.
'Seven Shark Combat Techniques… Void Shark Fist!'
Chang Yi Shou didn't have time to dodge. Wen Wen's fist didn't actually touch Chang Yi Shou, but Chang Yi Shou's chest was blown open as if by a battering ram, creating a large hole!
This move, Shark Li Shi, had been used against Wen Wen before and was incredibly powerful, forcing Wen Wen to struggle to defend himself.
It was both a racial talent of Shark Li Shi and a profound boxing technique. Wen Wen could currently only imitate Shark Li Shi to execute this strike.
After killing Chang Yi Shou, Wen Wen felt no joy, only a sense of gravity.
He sensed something was wrong. The feeling of his fist passing through Chang Yi Shou was strange; the flesh and blood felt peculiar, as if… devoid of life force!
Moreover, Chang Yi Shou's upper body was shattered, clearly unable to stand and fight again, yet Chang Yi Shou's unique aura had not disappeared.
Wen Wen suddenly looked at the tiger lying at the end of the corridor, beginning to understand what was happening.
In the Huafu District, there was an idiom, "wei hu zuo chang" (to serve as a chang ghost for a tiger). This idiom originated from an ancient folk legend where people killed by tigers would have their souls transformed into Chang ghosts to serve the tiger.
And Chang Yi Shou's name contained the character "chang"!
Therefore, the tiger before him was Wen Wen's true enemy, and the burly man was merely an Assimilation realm superpowered individual killed by this tiger!
No wonder it felt so strange during the fight; he wasn't even alive.
The tiger sat up like a human, a human-like expression appearing on its face as it looked at Wen Wen.
"I thought I was going to see a good show, but a废物 is indeed a 废物… However, he did possess Lower Order strength. The fact that you could kill him so easily suggests you are Middle Order… no, you are an Upper Order superpowered individual."
Seeing the tiger speak human language, Wen Wen remained quite calm, after all, he had oddities like Miao Miaomiao in his facility.
However, when Wen Wen had interrogated the clown earlier, he hadn't mentioned how special this tiger was, only that its strength was comparable to his own.
Most importantly… this tiger made Wen Wen feel threatened!
It made Wen Wen, who possessed Upper Order calamity-level strength, feel threatened!
What kind of strength did this tiger possess?
"Hmm, you're faltering. You must have sensed my strength," the tiger said, licking its paws, "I only used this beast tamer identity to infiltrate Absurd Sayings because I found it amusing.
"These people are very interesting. As long as you can make them laugh, you can join the organization. There are no strict rules, everyone is very interesting, and their words are pleasant to hear…"
"However, I've grown tired of it recently. If I hadn't wanted to obtain that Sword Qi Crystal, I would have left long ago.
"Why don't you become my Chang Yi Shou? I want to have some fun with your identity; it would definitely be more interesting than that useless fellow!"
