Meanwhile, a line of text appeared before Zhang Chen’s eyes:
[Fourth-tier demon spirit, Hand of Hell. Believe in yourself, you can defeat it!]
“A fourth-tier demon spirit? It’s this big, and I can defeat it?”
“You have too much faith in me. I don’t even believe in myself!”
Zhang Chen’s face was filled with dark lines.
“Meow?”
Mo Ran glanced at Zhang Chen curiously, unsure who he was talking to.
“Uh… I was just talking to myself!”
Zhang Chen couldn’t explain the state of prompts appearing before him, so he casually brushed it off.
[You can do it, keep going!]
Suddenly, the prompt reappeared, and it seemed to be conversing with him.
“You can hear me?”
This made Zhang Chen even more bewildered.
He had initially thought the prompts were just explanatory notes, but he never expected one to interact with him.
Could someone be monitoring his every move and communicating through this method?
[Of course. I am right beside you. It’s just that I’m currently in a spiritual form, so you can’t see me!]
[I need you to follow my requests for your next actions. Otherwise, all my previous efforts, and your wish, will turn into nothing but smoke!]
“Your efforts? My wish? I don’t think I have any wishes!”
Zhang Chen said again.
“Meow meow meow?!”
Mo Ran was full of questions, feeling that Zhang Chen had likely gone mad.
Talking to himself for a bit was one thing, but Zhang Chen was going on and on, even having a back-and-forth conversation.
[You don’t have a wish yet because your memory has been sealed. But don’t worry, once your strength reaches a certain level, you’ll unlock your sealed memories, and then you’ll have your heart’s desire!]
“I have sealed memories? How come I don’t know about it?”
“And you say I’ll have a wish in the future. How can you know what my future self will think?”
The more the prompt explained, the more confused Zhang Chen became instead of understanding.
[Just trust me, and you definitely won’t be wrong!]
“Who are you? I know nothing about your background, how can I trust you?”
Zhang Chen asked.
[Meow!]
“???”
The prompt only wrote a single “meow.”
Afterward, Mo Ran looked at Zhang Chen and let out a meow.
“What does that mean?”
[Rumble!]
The prompt then displayed a few more words.
Subsequently, a series of violent explosions sounded, shaking the ground.
“What’s going on? Are… are you predicting the future?”
Zhang Chen roughly guessed the prompt’s intention.
It was describing upcoming events in words.
[The corpse collector isn’t dead and is still in a fierce battle with the Hand of Death, but he’s about to be blown away!]
Rumble!
Another loud noise echoed, and then, a distant building slowly collapsed.
Following that, the corpse collector from before was indeed sent flying backward, spitting blood as he flew.
“You can really predict the future?!”
Zhang Chen was both surprised and delighted. This ability was very magical and seemed very useful.
[This is nothing. What I can do, you can do too. When your memories are unsealed, you will be more powerful than anyone in this world!]
[You are the one who must break free from the cycle of reincarnation and change your destiny, so you must keep going!]
[Believe me, let’s start by taking down the Hand of Death!]
The prompt encouraged him again.
“Fine, since you say so, I’ll give it a try!”
“After all, if I die, won’t your efforts be in vain?!”
Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
He figured that the prompt wouldn’t go to such lengths to trick him into his death.
If the prompt could predict the future, it would be incredibly easy to kill him.
“Come on, Hand of Death!”
Zhang Chen declared, then pushed off the ground with force!
He began to run slowly on the road…
He only knew basic-tier martial arts, and he had only just recalled Bajiquan. He didn’t have any rapid movement techniques, let alone the ability to jump and fly.
So, after his grand pronouncements, as he started running, it felt particularly anticlimactic…
“Meow?!”
Mo Ran leaped lightly, covering over ten meters in a single bound. With just a few jumps, it was a hundred meters away, and it looked at Zhang Chen with a strange expression.
Its gaze seemed to say:
“Even though you possess the terrifying strength to save me, why are you running so slowly? Are you doing it on purpose?”
“Master is really strange! Meow!”
