Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 913 The Cloud-Gathering Steps

Wu Xian, with two newcomers, ran to the safe room of the brothel.

After Shi Yan and Wang Wei went inside, Wu Xian stood alone at the door. Newcomers could hide in the safe house from the constables, but he couldn't.

Because he still needs to go to the water dungeon to kill the imprisoned members of the family and carry out the next restart.

Hao Ze's golden robe could last at least ten minutes, so Wu Xian took advantage of that time to open the box he had obtained from the restaurant.

Inside the box was a pair of boots. The boots were made of black brocade with auspicious cloud patterns, and the boot shafts reached up to the calves. The toes of the boots were upturned like swirling clouds.

The Cloud-Gathering Boots: Ascending Lotus Mountain to the west, one sees the distant Star, holding a lotus in delicate hands, and treading lightly through the ethereal realm... A banished immortal ascends Lotus Mountain and encounters a fairy maiden from Mount Hua. He composes a poem in praise of her, and the fairy maiden is delighted and presents him with these boots.

These boots are one of the seven treasures used to suppress Xuanling County. Wearing these boots allows one to walk as fast as the wind, greatly increasing speed. If someone who has mastered the "Human Supernatural Power - Silent Landing" wears them, they can walk through the void, gather clouds into blades, and reduce the energy consumption of the Hot Wind Foot.

Another treasure has been acquired!
With the addition of the Sacred Flame Token of Benevolent Words, the Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone Bracelet, and the Golden Body Robe, only three treasures remain to be obtained.

Wu Xian told Wang Wei and Shi Yan about the treasure's abilities and handed the boots to Wang Wei, because the treasure was perfectly suited to his supernatural powers.

But Wang Wei pushed the boots back: "I'll be hiding in the safe house until you finish resetting time, so these boots are a waste for me. I might as well give them to you so you can shake off those elusive constables."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian readily accepted the boots.

Wang Wei and Shi Yan closed the door to the safe house; they had survived this round of exploration safely.

Wu Xian put on his boots and immediately felt lighter, able to run quite a distance with just a slight step forward.

"Now, I'm all alone."

"To reset time, you need to get the key. Each key is for one-time use. The second key is inside the body of 'Captain Stitching' in the left corridor on the first floor..."

"At my current speed, I can shake off the Eight-Faced Constable. As long as I pass through the transit space, I can quickly find that 'Stitching Captain'."

"But I still have plenty of time now, and I should make good use of this time."

"what!"

Wu Xian suddenly looked surprised. He had just sensed that one of his White Ghost cards had been torn in half!

……

Wu Xian's footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Inside the room, Wang Wei and Shi Yan looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.

Shi Yan is beautiful, has a great temperament, and a respectable job. She had many suitors when she was young, but Shi Yan believes in fate, which is why she remained single until the age of 29...

When things were dangerous, Shi Yan only thought about surviving. Now that she was finally safe, she couldn't stop her mind from wandering and her eyes kept glancing at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei, though his name is ordinary, is, as mentioned earlier, a typical high-quality human male.

In terms of looks, Wu Xian is actually more stylish, but Wu Xian often acts inappropriately, which makes him far less masculine than Wang Wei.

Now, the two are in the same boat, having gone through life and death together, and are now sharing a room...

A voice echoed in Shi Yan's mind:
"Isn't this the destiny you've been searching for?"

Just then, Wang Wei looked at Shi Yan and smiled politely: "The message said that there are other things here besides us. What do you think those things could be?"

Shi Yan's heart pounded: "Oh, oh... Although there is something, the people in the message have all survived safely here for an hour. Even if there is something, it shouldn't be fatal."

Wang Wei shook his head: "Those who die here cannot leave a message."

Shi Yan nodded, feeling her cheeks getting hot.

then……

Snapped!
Shi Yan gave herself a big purse.

Wang Wei looked at her in surprise: "What are you doing?" "Nothing, my face is itchy."

A trickle of blood flowed from Shi Yan's nostril.

This place is a blessed land, but life is always in danger. Even a safe house may not be truly safe. Only a person who is tired of living would act like this.

If Shi Yan were a hopeless romantic, she wouldn't have remained single until she was twenty-nine.

Strangely enough, just by slapping herself, Shi Yan's wild thoughts stopped.

The two then discussed topics such as blessed lands, Wu Xian, time reset, and the ability to worship gods, before falling into a long silence.

They anxiously awaited the outcome of Wu Xian's actions, much like students waiting for their college entrance exam scores.

"Hey……"

Suddenly, Shi Yan, who was looking down, was called out by Wang Wei in a hoarse voice.

She looked up and saw Wang Wei staring at her with bloodshot eyes... no, not at her face, but at her neck!

Wang Wei stared at Shi Yan, feeling that this woman was seducing him, and a voice screamed in his mind:

'Kill! Kill! Slit her throat! Suffocate her! Break her neck! Cut open her chest!'

"Do you know, I'm actually a murderer."

Wang Wei pulled up a chair and sat down, his expression becoming somewhat deranged. He uttered just one sentence that instilled genuine fear in Shi Yan.

"I can't tell you my real name. You just need to know that I am a person who likes a peaceful life, and I have lived a very proper life since I was a child."

"After graduation, I rented a house."

“On my way to and from work, there is a family that keeps four big dogs. Every time I pass by, I am frightened by the dogs. One day, a dog jumped out and bit me.”

"When I was bitten, I wasn't scared at all, I even laughed out loud."

"You know, at that very moment..."

Snapped!
Wang Wei clapped his hands vigorously.

Shi Yan was startled.

"It's like a string in my mind suddenly snapped."

"This string is like a switch. Before, I just wanted to live a quiet life. After this string broke, I wanted to kill some things for fun."

Wang Wei scratched incessantly on his body, his hair, chest, thighs... some places even drew blood.

You definitely can't understand that feeling.

"My eyes itch, my scalp itch, my hands itch, my heart itch... I want to kill living things, hear their screams, feel their blood, I crave it so much I can't stand it!"

"So, after I got the vaccine, I went home and ate dog meat."

"But killing the dog doesn't relieve the itch at all."

"Just then, there was a knock on my door. It was the dog owner. His dog was missing, and he was asking if I had seen it!"

"Dogs are truly my best friends..."

"I grabbed the severed dog head, pierced the dog owner's throat with its teeth, and threw him back into his yard. His dog helped me dispose of the body. I waited for several days, but no one could find my head!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wang Wei laughed maniacally and gestured with his hands, making Shi Yan feel a chill run down her spine.
