Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 1262: Heart as Still as Water

Upon hearing Ma Songguo's words, Wen Wen gave a cold, insincere chuckle: "Heh heh..."

Wen Wen's attitude enraged the volatile Brick King. With a flick of his hand, a brick appeared, and he charged furiously at Wen Wen.

"Brick King, wait! This guy might still be useful!" Mei Lanxin shouted, but Brick King was already in front of Wen Wen, swinging the brick at his face.

"Today’s brick is as heavy as ever!"

After muttering something inexplicable, the weight of Brick King’s brick mysteriously increased from an ordinary brick to at least a dozen tons.

This was Brick King’s ability: through words spoken while wielding his worker’s brick, he could enhance its state. Combined with his near True-Order-level physical strength, a single brick could inflict massive damage on an enemy.

Wen Wen raised an eyebrow, stepped back to dodge the brick, then stepped forward to his original spot, curiously observing Brick King.

Having missed his swing and seeing Wen Wen still standing there, Brick King’s underdeveloped brain short-circuited. Why hadn’t his attack landed?

He didn’t understand, but Ma Songguo and the others watching from afar saw it clearly.

"Brick King, be careful! This guy’s not simple—he’s definitely not ordinary!" Ma Songguo warned.

At this, Brick King’s eyes turned bloodshot, feeling toyed with by Wen Wen.

"Today’s brick is as scalding as ever!"

Flames erupted on Brick King’s brick as he slammed it into the ground. A massive fireball exploded outward from the point of impact.

If fully unleashed, this move could destroy the small lake at the center of the peninsula. But the fireball stopped abruptly after spreading ten meters, and all the flames dissipated, leaving Brick King standing there, bewildered, brick in hand.

Wen Wen scratched his head: "I’ve lived here for five years—this is my home. I can’t let you burn it down."

"And I’m starting to regret it. Let me apologize first—I said I’d spare you all."

"But after finally getting a chance to stretch my muscles, I really just want to kill."

Wen Wen extended his index finger and tapped Brick King’s head. Brick King’s upper body exploded, leaving only a spine swaying in the wind.

The faces of Ma Songguo and the other two paled. To kill a True-Order-level Brick King so effortlessly—what did that mean? They knew all too well.

Catastrophe-level!

No, he was even more terrifying than an ordinary Catastrophe-level.

Even when he obliterated Brick King, Ma Songguo and the others detected no trace of energy fluctuation—as if Brick King had exploded on his own.

"Three left. Can you entertain me a bit?"

"If your abilities are interesting enough, I might spare you and grant you life imprisonment..."

Without hesitation, Ma Songguo chugged another bag of "rat tail juice" and let out a massive fart. Using it as cover, the three fled in different directions.

Wen Wen’s expression darkened instantly. This guy dared to fart so loudly in his home?

He’s done for. No one on Earth could save him, Wen Wen declared!

As he fled, Ma Songguo sent a distress signal to Feng Guishen.

Upon receiving it, Feng Guishen realized Ma Songguo’s group had encountered a Catastrophe-level powerhouse, but he sensed no such presence.

This eerie situation made Feng Guishen hesitate briefly before transforming into a shadow and vanishing into the horizon.

He had no intention of fighting a Catastrophe-level from the Calamity Foundation. Getting entangled could mean annihilation.

Each of the Calamity Foundation’s three branches was guarded by a top-tier powerhouse, capable of crushing an ordinary Catastrophe-level like him with ease.

Wen Wen shook his head as he watched Feng Guishen flee. He wasn’t the same man he used to be. Let Feng Guishen escape—he’d have some fun with these others first.

With a single step, Wen Wen appeared on the other side of the peninsula. Ke Lousi, who was sprinting, crashed into him and fell on her backside.

Wen Wen pulled out an ice-fire ray gun modified by Red Beard and pointed it at Ke Lousi’s head, asking curiously, "There’s something odd about your aura. What interesting ability do you have?"

Ke Lousi’s hair stood on end. The gun itself wasn’t powerful, but the one wielding it was too strong. She had no doubt that if Wen Wen fired, she’d end up like Brick King. Trembling instinctively, she froze.

"Not going to show me? Then die."

Wen Wen pulled the trigger without hesitation. He no longer needed the abilities of the creatures in his containment facility, which was already overflowing. A lone True-Order monster? Killing it was no loss.

Ke Lousi shouted, "Turn it off! Turn it off! If you don’t turn it off, I’ll have no future!"

Wen Wen pulled the trigger, but no bullet fired. He checked the gun and saw the safety was on, preventing it from firing.

"Hm, that’s an interesting ability."

Wen Wen never used the safety on his gun—it was always stored in the containment facility, where misfires posed no threat. Unlike some who tucked loaded guns into their belts, risking fatal accidents.

He saw through Ke Lousi’s ability instantly and tested it: "Turn it on! Turn it on! It must be turned on!"

As he spoke, the gun’s safety automatically disengaged.

Wen Wen hadn’t used any ability—this was merely the power of his words. At his level, even his emotions carried force.

"Turn it off!" Ke Lousi screamed again, desperate to avoid being shot.

"Turn it on!" Wen Wen raised an eyebrow.

They went back and forth—off, on—for over a minute, bickering pointlessly.

Annoyed by her repeated "turn it off," Wen Wen taped her mouth shut with duct tape and tossed her into the containment facility.

Ke Lousi’s ability was intriguing—worthy of being a new addition to his collection.

Next, Wen Wen set his sights on Mei Lanxin, who wielded sonic abilities.

Upon seeing Wen Wen, Mei Lanxin reacted differently from Ke Lousi. She struck provocative poses, exuding a subtle charm to seduce him.

If Wen Wen touched her, his hand would turn into a "lecherous paw," giving her a chance to escape while he panicked.

Wen Wen scoffed. Trying to seduce him while wearing so many clothes? Did she think so little of him?

His two maids were far more beautiful than Mei Lanxin—especially Hu Youling, a top-tier beauty. They occasionally pranced around in bikinis, and Wen Wen remained unmoved, his heart as still as water.

Trying to charm him? She was far too naive!
