Wen Wen picked his nose and said, "You want to play games, and I'll play with you? Wouldn't that make me look weak."
Yan Zu froze for a moment, not expecting such a turn of events.
"How about this, if you agree to my conditions, I can release some of the repentant people first. What do you think?"
Wen Wen thought for two seconds, then nodded at Yan Zu and said, "Alright, it's a deal."
Yan Zu smiled and let the first group of people pulled into the dream awaken. Afterward, his smile suddenly stiffened.
Shouldn't it be Wen Wen begging him to agree to his conditions? Why did it turn into him begging Wen Wen to play a game?
"Two games. The first game's objective is this person, Gao Fangzhou. I bet he can't escape the dream."
"Then I'll be responsible for helping him escape this dream," Wen Wen said, raising an eyebrow.
Yan Zu nodded, "Precisely."
Wen Wen immediately refused, "This is unfair. This dream is your territory. As long as you block the entrances and exits, he can't get out no matter what."
Yan Zu tilted his head and said, "Then how about neither of us interferes, and we see if he can get out on his own?"
Wen Wen squinted and pondered for a while before agreeing to Yan Zu's game request.
"I will accelerate his dream, so we don't have to wait too long for the result. As long as he can get out of the dream on his own, I will release your 'pet concubine'.
"But we might as well not waste this time. Let's play the second game."
"I will create a dream tailor-made for you. As long as you can break through this dream, I will agree to your request to reduce the number of people pulled into the dream, only select specific targets, and decrease the dream's difficulty."
"Then please prepare yourself... for your dream. It begins!"
Yan Zu gently pushed Wen Wen, and Wen Wen felt his strength being stripped away. In the blink of an eye, he reverted to his ordinary human state. Su Dan Novel Network
Then he appeared in a gloomy street, with dirty, sticky liquid under his feet.
Yan Zu's voice echoed from the sky, "I forgot to tell you earlier, since it's a game, both sides should have a chance to win or lose. If you win, I will naturally agree to your conditions, but if you lose..."
"Then you will stay here with me forever. I really like your special and interesting soul."
After speaking, Yan Zu's voice disappeared, and Wen Wen gained a sense of reality in his surroundings. The so-called second game began.
"Alas... this feeling of powerlessness again. It's simply the worst."
Wen Wen looked down at his feet. The dirty, sticky liquid was semi-dried blood. A woman with her chest ripped open and her insides scooped out lay next to Wen Wen, her face filled with terror and despair.
It seemed that the dream tailor-made for Wen Wen was not peaceful at all. It would be difficult for Wen Wen, with only the strength of an ordinary person, to escape unscathed.
He actually didn't want to play any games with Yan Zu because the so-called games were all under Yan Zu's control; the outcome was in his thoughts alone.
Even if Wen Wen won both games, the other party could still deny the results of the games.
But Wen Wen only had the option to agree, because this was Yan Zu's territory.
Before meeting Yan Zu, Wen Wen had already overestimated him. But after actually meeting Yan Zu, he realized that his previous prediction had underestimated Yan Zu.
When he was transferred to the coffee shop, he hadn't noticed how Yan Zu used his power, which meant Yan Zu possessed absolute strength in this world.
Wen Wen's abilities, derived from his nightmare constitution, were meaningless in front of Yan Zu.
Unless he transformed into a disaster state, he might be able to contend with Yan Zu and escape from here in a sorry state.
But doing so would make it difficult to achieve Wen Wen's goal. Therefore, Wen Wen participated in Yan Zu's game with the sole purpose of delaying time.
Before entering the Eighteen-Layer Spiral Mountain, Wen Wen had informed the Sand Sea Priest of all his investigation findings.
The Sand Sea Priest was investigating Yan Zu's whereabouts. Upon receiving the news, he would surely find a way to enter this dream.
Once he entered this dream, Wen Wen would join forces with him to deal with Yan Zu.
After personally seeing Yan Zu and engaging in a series of conversations, Wen Wen had a clearer understanding of this fellow's personality.
Wen Wen had encountered many disaster-level powerhouses before, but Yan Zu was different from all of them.
This difference was not in terms of strength, but in terms of concept. Although other disaster-level powerhouses possessed god-like strength, they still used human ways of thinking.
Yan Zu, however, considered himself a deity from the bottom of his heart. He disdained interacting with mortals and hid in his own divine realm, exercising his authority without restraint.
He didn't harbor great malice towards humans, but he didn't have any kindness either. He simply saw humans as lower beings.
Such a person never intended to have an equal dialogue with Wen Wen. His so-called games with Wen Wen were merely for amusement.
"Don't think too much about it for now. First, consider how to get through this so-called game."
Wen Wen's expression was solemn as he looked at the woman's corpse. Her blood had not fully clotted yet, which indicated that the monster that attacked her might be nearby.
Many monsters had a particular fondness for human organs. However, judging by the bite marks on the skin and some residual hair, the perpetrator should be a werewolf.
There were several bloody claw marks on the wall. The claw marks were smaller than human footprints, indicating that the werewolf's size should be similar to that of a human.
If it wasn't a werewolf with some special abilities, then it should be a low-level disaster-class werewolf.
Disaster-class werewolves, while seemingly terrifying and capable of scaring ordinary people into fainting, were not particularly strong in combat. Even without his supernatural powers, Wen Wen still possessed combat strength exceeding that of Master Ye, so he could protect himself.
However, the problem now was that this custom-made dream for him wouldn't just contain one low-level werewolf.
Wen Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, as if flames were burning in his eyeballs. After gaining the disaster state, ordinary monsters had lost their challenge for him, but this dream ignited his fighting spirit.
He took a deep breath, walked to a clean spot, and tried his best to wipe the soles of his shoes clean, to avoid leaving bloody footprints himself.
Then he walked out of the alley. What he needed most now was to find some suitable weapons for self-defense.
The blades on his collar could be used against ordinary people, but they were a bit inadequate against monsters like werewolves.
The pedestrians on the road were numerous, most of them with hurried expressions and fear on their faces.
This indicated that everyone in this city was threatened by something. The fact that so many people were scared meant it was definitely more than just a single werewolf problem.
