Wen Yian’s expression changed when she saw the others, but this woman who always had a plan soon calmed down. She didn’t choose to step back or avoid them, but instead sped up and walked up to them seriously, saying, “I’m sorry.”
She looked at Lou Yan, apologizing again with guilt, “I’m sorry.”
Li Sanxin, being a childhood friend who grew up with Lou Yan, mocked while wiping the blood from Lin You’s face, “Oh, Miss Wen can still say sorry. If a sorry is useful, what’s the point of having the police?”
Wen Yian sighed, sincerely saying, “I know you won’t easily forgive me, but I had to do this for a reason… After I make my wish to the Anomaly Lord, I hope you can give me some time to explain.”
After speaking, she raised her hand with a wry smile, brushing the strands of hair beside her temple, subtly reminding Li Sanxin and Lou Yan that there was still a “surgical thread” of Li Sanxin’s in her mind: “If it weren’t for necessity, I wouldn’t risk betraying you like this.”
Li Sanxin looked at her coldly, “Your necessity almost killed my good brother.”
Although he was generally easygoing, Li Sanxin couldn’t forgive Wen Yian’s repeated betrayals.
Li Sanxin moved his fingers, wanting to activate the “surgical thread” in Wen Yian’s mind to let her taste some bitterness. At a critical moment, Lou Yan timely held his hand, casually glanced at Wen Yian, and said, “You don’t have much mental strength left, don’t waste it.”
He pinched Li Sanxin’s hand twice, and Li Sanxin clicked his tongue, understanding that Lou Yan reminded him not to expose his connection with Wen Yian in front of the Anomaly Lord. Reluctantly, he stopped.
Lou Yan comforted Li Sanxin, then looked at Wen Yian again, slightly tugged at his lips, meaningfully saying, “We’ll wait for your explanation.”
Wen Yian’s heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and said, “Okay.”
Lou Yan gave Li Sanxin a signal with his eyes, and Li Sanxin coldly snorted at Wen Yian, supporting Lin You and following Lou Yan towards the direction of the elevator.
Wen Yian took a few steps forward again, and the crow broke through the dense fog once more, flying in front of Wen Yian, “Human, what is your wish?”
Wen Yian respectfully knelt down, devoutly like worshipping a deity, “Respected Anomaly Lord, your disciple Wen Yian begs you here, hoping you can resurrect my brother Wen Jiu.”
The rest of her words were obscured by the fog, and Lou Yan and the others, who were moving slowly, only heard this request from Wen Yian.
Li Sanxin frowned, puzzled, “Isn’t someone resurrected by the Anomaly Lord considered non-human? Doesn’t she know this?”
Lou Yan calmly said, “There are always some who know about it and still harbor a glimmer of hope.”
Lin You leaned heavily on Li Sanxin, coughed a few times, and barely regained his senses before stubbornly propped himself up on Li Sanxin’s shoulder, ready to turn back and continue asking the Anomaly Lord, insisting, “I can’t leave. I haven’t gotten the answer yet… The Anomaly Lord hasn’t told me the answer yet!”
Li Sanxin and Lou Yan held his shoulders from left to right, but Lin You burst out with astonishing strength, almost causing Lou Yan and Li Sanxin, two people whose bodies had been altered by anomalies, to lose their grip on him.
Lin You took a step forward with force, gritting his teeth: “My wish has not been fulfilled yet, they must keep their promise!”
In desperation, Lou Yan could only let go of Ye Buyan, whom he was holding with his other hand, and press both hands down on Lin You with force. “Don’t be impulsive!”
With a thud, Ye Buyan’s face hit the ground, and he rolled along the ground again. His nose and forehead were painfully red.
Li Sanxin hooked his arm around Lin You’s neck and whispered, “Lin You, calm down! How could the anomalies tell you how to end the Anomaly Resurgence? This is their territory. Don’t make any mistakes. Don’t let yourself die here in vain. You won’t gain anything except wasting your life!”
The veins on Lin You’s neck bulged, and he stared fiercely at the shadow of the Anomaly Lord, his eyes reddening as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Because of Li Sanxin’s words, his struggling strength grew weaker and weaker, eventually subsiding into calmness as he hoarsely said, “…I understand.”
Lou Yan and Li Sanxin cautiously released him, and Lin You wiped his face, lowering his head weakly. “Let’s go, I…”
With a loud bang, a huge iron block pierced through the fog and slammed heavily on the ground not far from them, sliding forward with sparks flying! The ground was smashed into a large hole, debris flying everywhere, and concentric circles of cracks appeared in the dense fog!
Lou Yan, surprised, pulled Li Sanxin and Lin You behind him, extending his arm to protect his face as he looked towards the large iron block, shocked to find that it was a deformed, heavy elevator door!
He quickly looked towards the direction of the elevator and saw, in the dense fog, a vaguely human-shaped figure holding a long blade approaching.
The fog obscured this person’s appearance, but it couldn’t hide the tall and thin figure and the long hair swaying behind their shoulders. With just one glance, Lou Yan recognized this person as Fu Xuezhou.
Fu Xuezhou actually intruded into the eighth floor?!
What is he doing here?
Sensing that something interesting was happening, Lou Yan decisively led Li Sanxin and the others to quietly retreat, using the dense fog to retreat deeper, quietly observing Fu Xuezhou’s movements.
Fu Xuezhou held a Tang blade in his hand, walking closer and closer through the dense fog. The steps he took seemed few, but his speed was fast, like a ghost, completely silent. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the place where the elevator door fell.
A large flock of black crows flew out of the fog, surrounding Fu Xuezhou. Flapping their wings, they dispersed the dense fog around them, allowing Lou Yan, who was hiding in the dark, to see the confrontation between them more clearly.
The crows stared at Fu Xuezhou with crimson eyes, opening their mouths and screeching, “Get out!!! Get out!!!”
A dozen or so crows launched the first attack on Fu Xuezhou, flying out from all directions to peck at him. Fu Xuezhou raised his Tang blade and swung it, causing the crows to screech and fly away, their black feathers falling from the sky. Several crow corpses fell heavily to the ground.
Fu Xuezhou, at the center of the crow attack, seemed like the protagonist in a stage play amidst the chaotic black feathers. His handsome face remained calm, a black crow feather sliding down his silver hair, and the tip of the Tang blade dripping with blood, making him appear godlike.
Lou Yan felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that when the black feathers were flying, Fu Xuezhou seemed to glance in his direction.
The crows, enraged, collectively attacked Fu Xuezhou, but he didn’t want to waste time with them. The silver-haired youth leaped from the ground like an arrow, passing through the flock of crows and charging straight towards the Anomaly Lord.
Wen Yian, who was just about to get up from the ground, noticed the movement behind her. She turned her head and saw Fu Xuezhou breaking through the dense fog, which scared her so much that she screamed, “Ah!”
In the midst of her scream, Fu Xuezhou passed by her, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the Anomaly Lord.
The dense fog converged, making Fu Xuezhou and the Anomaly Lord’ figures, even though they were close, appear as indistinct black shadows. Wen Yian watched in horror as Fu Xuezhou’s humanoid figure leaped onto the Anomaly Lord and swiftly climbed up with his Tang blade.
“……!!!” Wen Yian covered her mouth tightly, her expression twisted with fear. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Her heart was pounding violently in her chest!
Footsteps approached from behind. Wen Yian turned her head and saw Lou Yan, Li Sanxin, and Lin You! The three of them ran up to Wen Yian, stopping beside her. They didn’t even glance at Wen Yian, their eyes fixed firmly on Fu Xuezhou, who was heading to the Anomaly Lord’s head.
“Fu… Xue… Zhou…”
The Anomaly Lord reached out to touch its head. Its hand was terrifying, with five fingers resembling tentacles, thick at the base and thin at the tips, each finger adorned with sharp teeth dripping with foul-smelling saliva. Before this hand could touch Fu Xuezhou, Fu Xuezhou calmly raised the Tang blade in his hand high and stabbed it into the Anomaly Lord’ head. Then, he swiftly slid down to the back of the Anomaly Lord’ head, leaving a deep gash from its crown to its nape.
Fu Xuezhou’s feet lightly touched the Anomaly Lord’ shoulders, and he inserted his arm into the wound he had created.
A few people nearby seemed to hear the sound of his arm searching inside the Anomaly Lord’ head.
In less than two seconds, Fu Xuezhou decisively pulled out his hand from the Anomaly Lord’ head, and he pulled out something three times the size of an adult human’s head.
That thing was still jumping, with thick, sticky blood or mucus connecting it to the Anomaly Lord’ brain. Some of it dripped onto the Anomaly Lord’s neck from its wound.
That was…!
Lou Yan’s eyes widened, his breath almost stopping. He murmured, “That’s the Anomaly Lord’s… heart?”
His heart started pounding violently, and the look in his eyes as he watched Fu Xuezhou holding the heart was as intense as if he was on fire.
Li Sanxin was stunned, then incredulously exclaimed, “D*mn!!! The Anomaly Lord’s heart?!”
“Fu Xuezhou pulled out the Anomaly Lord’s heart?!”
Lin You seemed to be dreaming, subconsciously murmuring, “Does destroying this heart mean—”
—Does it mean that the Anomaly Lord will die?
The Anomaly Lord uttered incomprehensible murmurs, sounding like it was begging for mercy while also screaming in anger.
Fu Xuezhou pinched the heart in his hand, sighed softly, “Five hours later than last time.”
The Anomaly Lord’ eyes turned from the front to the back. In one of its giant eyes, there were five scattered black pupils rotating. At this moment, all ten pupils were fixed on Fu Xuezhou.
“Fu… Xue… Zhou…”
“Uh-huh,” Fu Xuezhou responded lightly, his grip on the heart tightening. “Where is it?”
The Anomaly Lord remained silent, its pupils rotating once more, still staring firmly at Fu Xuezhou.
“I knew you wouldn’t say,” Fu Xuezhou said indifferently.
He casually pulled out the Tang blade inserted in the Anomaly Lord’ head, then decisively crushed the huge heart in his hand.
The Anomaly Lord let out a mournful cry. This colossal, terrifying figure that commanded all anomalies collapsed to the ground like a collapsing building, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The dense fog surrounding it dispersed as the Anomaly Lord fell. Its colossal and twisted body was exposed to everyone.
The Anomaly Lord, actually died like this.
