Chapter 43: The Witch
That was the situation with the buzz-cut man.
He was not at a disadvantage in a one-versus-ten fight, and he had lived a wonderful life.
However, he would also die pretty quickly.
The injuries on his body were dangerously severe.
Otherwise, he would not have missed another person just then.
All the signs indicated that he was no longer able to stop all the bikers.
Wang Wen, who was in the distance, saw his declining situation and was somewhat anxious.
‘What should I do? He’s about to fall!’
His brain spun rapidly. He turned around and looked at the girl—the witch—who was still trying to see if the skinny scholar could be saved.
He shouted at her, “Don’t bother about him. Quickly go to the front and help! ”
The girl heard him and nodded. She ran forward and assumed a fighting stance with the buzz-cut man.
When the buzz-cut man saw the girl, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Then he heard the girl say, “Let me help you!”
The buzz-cut man got excited. Gritting his teeth, he threw something into his mouth. With a furious roar, he pounced toward the enemy with a knife in both hands.
His strength had increased, and his speed had increased. It was as if his entire body was burning.
He was completely different.
As soon as they exchanged blows, three leather-clad men were instantly struck to the ground.
Before they got up, they raised their hands and swung their knives a few more times.
The knives slashed past, and the men’s heads were crushed.
The girl could not help but shout happily, “Amazing!”
She praised him sincerely.
However, the buzz-cut man vomited blood even though his opponents did not hit him.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, and his gaze dimmed. He raised his dual blades and continued to kill.
Not long after, he realized what he had said.
Men did the physical work.
He did not leave any of the leather-clad men to the girl. He had taken care of all of them.
Then, he fell to the ground after killing the last man.
Wang Wen, who was far away, knocked down his opponent. He observed his surroundings while walking toward his teammates.
He saw the buzz-cut man lying in a pool of blood, on the verge of death. The girl was holding his hand. He sounded regretful and helpless as he said, “Little girl, I can’t protect you any longer. I have to get out now. I won’t make it in time.”
Wang Wen rolled his eyes.
It looked like the man was only getting out of the tower. Wang Wen thought he was dying.
The girl was touched and nodded. “Thank you.”
The man’s eyes lit up, but he lowered his hand weakly. ‘I’ve memorized your contact information. I’ll find you when I’m out. Listen to my advice. End it on this 19th floor. You’ll be in danger if the next round is a violent extreme level.”
“Okay.” The girl nodded vigorously.
The man finally turned into a ball of white light and disappeared.
He had left.
Only the girl and Wang Wen were left.
Wang Wen’s eyelids twitched, and his feet moved slightly further away.
The girl quietly waited for the white light to disappear, then stood up and looked at Wang Wen.
She thought for a moment.
Suddenly, she smiled sweetly and said, “Little brother, do you want my contact information?”
Just that one sentence.
Wang Wen immediately felt the danger.
He shook his head and waved his hand, afraid that the other party would misunderstand his thoughts.
The girl tilted her head in confusion and slowly walked toward Wang Wen. At the same time, she asked with a strange expression, “Why? Don’t you like me?”
Wang Wen stopped in his tracks.
He raised his hammer and pointed it at the other party’s forehead. He said indifferently, “Put away your spiritual power, or I will beat you to death.”
The girl stopped in her tracks.
For the first time, she looked surprised.
She did not come any closer and asked softly, “Are you coming with me?”
Wang Wen waved the hammer in his hand and said, “I am a warrior!”
The girl recalled the fight between him and his opponent. Then, she laughed.
After a while, she nodded. She took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Alright, you win. Since you are not willing to continue to be my teammate, I will go to the next level. I’ll see you around.”
The micro-aircraft descended from the sky, and the scanning light burned a big hole in the ground.
The girl looked at Wang Wen intensely as if she wanted to remember his appearance. Then, she jumped into the big hole and disappeared.
That was the entrance to the 11th level.
If they did not enter a floor as a team, they would go their separate ways and be assigned to different levels.
Wang Wen did not jump into the hole.
He quietly waited for the girl to disappear. Only then did he relax.
He had almost succumbed to her powerful spiritual power.
The opponent was a Spiritual Master!
She was controlling herself, so it was easy to imagine that the girl was a weak girl with no strength.
If she made a move, she could make those bikers kill each other.
It was absurd to believe that a randomly selected team could meet such a perverted individual. That kind of misfortune was more than enough.
Wang Wen thought about whether he should find a time to pray and change his luck.
While he was daydreaming, he held a knife and stabbed the bodies of the leather-clad men.
When he was sure that they had died, he dragged those bodies to the fence.
He had piled a mountain of bodies.
He had no intention of leaving that floor so soon.
If he remembered correctly, there should be a hidden item in the villa.
The tenth floor had a standard rare item, the Master Key.
Many people knew that it was there.
There was no shortage of it on the market.
However, some people could not find it.
Perhaps they were too lazy to find it.
After all, that kind of rare low-level item was not an item for killing or healing. It was not very useful and could not be sold for much.
The key was a one-time use only.
The Master Key was the shape of an ancient long-handled key. Its target had to be in the same shape as a keyhole. Otherwise, it was not usable. Once a lock was successfully opened, it would immediately shatter into starlight and disappear. It could not be used again.
It could only open a lock. It was useless against any other mechanism.
It could not even be used to open the famed broken lock on the 69th floor.
Under normal circumstances, the climbers would go to the market to buy one and carry it with them in case they needed it.
Most of the time, they would not need it.
It was too hard to use.
Wang Wen was different.
He was poor.
No matter how cheap the Master Key was, it would still cost a few hundred points. He was not willing to spend that money in vain.
What if he could get it for free?
He piled the bodies against the guardrail. After he reached a certain height, he pushed two more bodies to cushion his feet.
Everything was ready.
He patted his wet hands, sticky with blood, and climbed up the mountain of bodies. He successfully climbed over the spiked guardrail. He did not trigger any electric current, nor was he stabbed. He simply jumped into the next space.
He stood in front of the villa and looked at the tightly shut doors.
He was thinking about how to open those doors without the Master Key.
He tried to knock on the door.
No one answered.
It was empty.
He could only do one thing.
He had to resort to violence.
Bang!
He smashed the hammer against a window. Then, he wrapped his hand with some clothes to clear the broken glass. After that, he climbed into the building.
The temperature in the villa was very comfortable. It was neither hot nor cold, and the air was clean and fresh.
Wang Wen even noticed the food on the table!
However, he was too embarrassed to move when he saw a long gun’s muzzle protruding from the second floor’s staircase.
