Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 367: Wen Lie: Don’t underestimate me, you bastard! I’m the Ripple Messenger!
"Anime is also based on reality, especially Japanese anime. They organize things like holy site tours for the sake of tourism. But seeing similar buildings and thinking the worldview is completely different, and the story takes place in the same world... is there no other basis?"

Zheng Zha scratched the back of his head, a little confused by Wen Lie's words.

"in accordance with……"

Wen Lie fell silent.

There is no basis.

Because there is a modified version of Stone Mask, JOJO's Bizarre Adventure also takes place in this world. Is this really a basis?

It is normal that there is no Anubis. Finding Anubis is a miracle.

A red balloon floated up from behind Wen Lie, and a funny smiling face protruded from the surface of the balloon, looking down at Wen Lie from above.

Wen Lie suddenly turned around, his eyes sharp, like the edge of a sword.

"Snapped!"

The balloon burst with a crisp sound. Wen Lie looked around but noticed nothing.

"What are you looking at? It's time to go back."

Zheng Zha patted Wen Lie's shoulder.

"nothing."

It doesn’t matter if Anubis can’t be found. Even if he and Anubis are not there, hasn’t Zheng Zha won?
Wen Lie turned around and calmly accepted the reality.

Hamunaptra, Wen Lie crossed the endless yellow sand and traveled day and night, and finally arrived here after a few days.

The British troops accompanying them set up camp, arranged defenses, and explored ancient tombs.

That night, everyone found the Black Book of the Dead.

Zheng Zha spent several days learning the spells of the Black Sutra of the Undead. Time passed quickly, and on the tenth day in the world of Gods and Mummy, they resurrected Imhotep.

The Indian team arrives.

Facing the British army's fire bombardment, the Indian team also tried their best. The invisible ancient Yamata no Orochi broke into the position and disrupted the formation. Zhao Yingkong went forward to intercept it.

Zheng Zha cast a spell at the werewolf doctor Alot who was rushing towards him. At the moment when he restrained Alot, Wen Lie placed his right hand on his waist.

“…What am I doing?”

Wen Lie subconsciously wanted to grab something and rushed towards Alot.

He should have done that.

But he held nothing.

Wen Lie felt confused and surprised.

"What on earth was I thinking?"

He is just a newcomer, responsible for making plans in the Zhongzhou team. How could he have a chance to fight?
Moreover, the opponent is the werewolf doctor Arot, who has opened the first-level gene lock and has high-level werewolf bloodline. His strength is stronger than Zheng Zha. Even if he gets the blessing of Zheng Zha's magic, he can't fight against that monster.

"No, I can win!"

Wen Lie's gaze became firm.

This is just Pennywise's illusion. The real him is powerful enough to defeat a fourth-level advanced warrior. What is a mere werewolf doctor?

Although he said so, Wen Lie could not sense his own strength.

He remembered that he had experienced a lot of horror movies. His gene lock broke through the fourth intermediate level and was only one step away from the fourth advanced level. He also strengthened his SS-level Golden Sentinel bloodline. With the powerful force fully unleashed, it was not difficult for him to destroy the planet.

Such a powerful force is now unable to be sensed. I can only feel that the light of my soul is still flickering, but it seems to be separated by layers of hazy fog. I can determine its existence, but I cannot obtain the power.

"I see, Pennywise, is this your plan? To make me lose my powers in this illusion, to be defeated by my former enemy and develop a mental flaw."

Wen Lie muttered to himself, he felt that he had figured out Pennywise's purpose.

It's not that complicated. It's just simple and crude to use illusions to frustrate his fighting spirit, suppress his morale, and create fear in his heart.

The solution to the problem is also very simple, just defeat the werewolf doctor Arot again.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Wen Lie rushed towards Alot.

"Wen Lie! Come back! Are you crazy?"

Witnessing this scene, Zheng Zha shouted in shock.

Wen Lie just ignored Zheng Zha's words and kept his eyes fixed on Aruto's movements.

How should I attack? Where should I attack?

Wen Lie was thinking.

However, until he got close to Arlot, Wen Lie's brain had not come to a conclusion.

Arlot's speed is too fast and his strength is too strong.

With a wave of his arm, he smashed the upper body of a British soldier. His figure flashed and he passed by the dense bullets. His wolf-like body rushed into the British position like a tiger into a flock of sheep, causing a bloody storm. Those soldiers could not do anything to Arrot, and instead let Arrot kill them indiscriminately.

So strong! How did I defeat Alot back then?

A question arose in Wen Lie's mind. Only with the body and eyesight of an ordinary person could one truly recognize Arlot's strength.

Arlot's strength is stronger than Zheng Zha, and also stronger than he was before. No one in the Zhongzhou team should be able to defeat Arlot in an open field.

A balloon slowly rose from the center of the battlefield, going up and up, floating high in the sky.

"Ow!"

The werewolf doctor suddenly turned his head, staring at Wen Lie with his green eyes, his ferocious face opened wide and he let out a creepy wolf howl.

A fishy wind blew in his face, and Arlot stretched out his claws. The sharp wolf claws flashed with cold light, making Wen Lie's body tremble slightly, and dense goose bumps spread on the skin of his arms.

Get out of the way! Run! This enemy is not one you can defeat! You will die! Wen Lie's body was warning him, and a voice in his mind was screaming, urging him to escape.

"This world isn't a novel, nor a dream, nor even a game. You're not the protagonist. You don't have the aura of an immortal protagonist. Even true protagonists die in this world. Without power, you'll definitely be killed by Alot!"

A tense and hurried voice sounded in Wen Lie's ears.

"Your mentality is that of a gamer. You've distanced yourself from horror movies, making you seem positive, but you're actually looking at the world from an outsider's perspective. You don't think you'll die because you've never truly faced death. Your smooth sailing has made you incapable of awe. But, Wen Lie, this is a real world. When people are killed, they die."

Zhao Yingkong's words echoed in Wen Lie's mind. The familiar voice and tone were giving him advice and warnings. It did not contain any malice, and only revealed indifference, objectivity, and reality.

You are not afraid because you do not regard this world as the real world. You look down on everyone with a distant attitude. You think you will not die. Your natural arrogance makes you regard everything as a game before death comes, a dream that is neither a nightmare nor a sweet dream.

Until you have overcome the first obstacle, until your goal is successfully achieved, until you have gained great strength, until you have always won, always won, and never felt frustrated...

But what if, on the day you first faced death and encountered difficulty, you were not sure of defeating your enemy?
So, are you afraid? Are you terrified?

Being afraid is natural, and being terrified is also natural. If you are not afraid, if you have no fear, then wouldn’t that be Chu Xuan?
Arlot's wolf claws slashed towards Wen Lie's head. The crystal clear wolf claws were as beautiful as crystal, but they carried the breath of death, enveloping Wen Lie's brain.

You will die! If you are killed, you will really die. This is not a game!
Wen Lie was clearly aware of this, and he subconsciously dodged to the side, as if trying to avoid Arlot's attack.

However, this was obviously a futile effort. It was impossible for Arlot to dodge the power given his strength.

The crystal wolf claw slashed across Wen Lie's shoulder, cutting off Wen Lie's arm along with the skin and bones. The gravity exerted by the wolf's claws also knocked Wen Lie to the ground.

Half of the body was cut off, and blood gushed out like an unstoppable fountain. Intense pain quickly spread from the nerves of the severed limb.

At this moment, Wen Lie fell to the ground.

No! It didn't fall to the ground, it hit the ground.

The moment his body tilted to the right, Wen Lie pushed his feet hard on the ground. Even Arot's attack could not stop Wen Lie's movements.

In fact, Arlot didn't need to stop. He just needed to wave his claws once and then wave them again.

So, Wen Lie succeeded.

His body left its original position and crashed to a farther place. Before the severe pain deprived his brain of control over his body, his right hand grabbed a rifle that fell to the ground.

He picked up the rifle, pointed it at Arlot's lower body, and pulled the trigger. The moment the bullet erupted from the muzzle, pain spread throughout Wen Lie's body.

But it doesn't seem to be that painful.

The voice that had been ringing in my ears and in my mind, like the voice of my heart, suddenly stopped.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard! I'm the Ripple Messenger!"

Wen Lie's face twisted, becoming even more hideous than the werewolf doctor's.

"Although I don't remember how I defeated the werewolf doctor, although I can feel the breath of death, although I feel the instinctive fear, although I understand the reality of death more than ever, but ah! Pennywise! Do you fucking understand? The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage!

The north wind forged Viking warriors. Do you think that as a Ripple Messenger, someone who has fought and trained so hard to this day, I would be crushed by fear? You bastard! Don't underestimate the Ripple Messenger! I've endured countless hardships, not so you can treat me like a newbie who just entered the world of gods and ghosts. Even if I have no memories, my spirit will not degenerate!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Wen Lie's voice was filled with anger at being looked down upon. Bullets shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and the moment they hit the werewolf doctor, the bullets burst out with a light brighter than the sun.

Golden ripples engulfed Arlot's entire body, and the heat of the Nine Yang Divine Art poured out, causing the giant werewolf to howl in pain, and its body dissolved at an extremely fast speed.

The world is broken.

Hamunaptra, the desert, Egypt, the world of Gods and Mummy, cracks divide the sky and the earth, like ugly scars, spreading in all directions from the werewolf doctor.

A sickening green-yellow light poured out from behind the scar, releasing the smell of a zoo, terrifyingly alive and full of animality.

It swooped down from its light web, a nightmare spider, transcending time and space, a monstrous shadow that even the villains living in the eighteenth level of hell could not imagine.

It swallowed up the world, or rather, the reality it created was defeated by Wen Lie, and it could only be taken back in disgrace.

Reality returned to reality. The real world was a spacious cave. The top of the cave was about fifteen meters high, supported by rib-shaped stone arches, and the arches were covered with dirty spider webs.

The ground beneath my feet was paved with stone, covered with a lot of old dust. The curved walls on both sides were at least fifteen meters wide.

Wen Lie's injuries also disappeared, and tremendous strength returned to his body. Even when he lost the strength, he did not feel fear, but he did feel joy because of the return of strength.

Wen Lie raised his head and looked at Pennywise, no, at the spider.

It was about five meters tall, with a pitch-black body and thick legs. Its eyes were like shiny rubies, full of malice, protruding from the eye sockets dripping with chrome mucus. Its serrated jaws opened and closed, oozing out streaks of foam. Once it landed on the stinking stone floor, it twisted like a living thing and drilled into the cracks in the stone.

This is not its true appearance. Even Wen Lie cannot see its true face. The image of a spider is the closest to the death ray.

"That's a real trick, Pennywise."

Wen Lie clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"I thought I had no loopholes, but I forgot that my memories had been permanently lost. That was damage that not even the Lord God could repair. Even after strengthening the Evil God Hunter bloodline, it only increased my memories, not restored the past. Even if I witnessed lost memories through the memory preservation props, those memories are indeed lost."

Pennywise, who has a spiritual light equivalent to the prototype of the Holy Way and is not the real body of the Death Light, cannot hide his memories, but it is not difficult to block the memories that have been lost.

His realization when he broke through his inner demons was to let go of the past, and to be present, past and future.

As a result, Pennywise helped him pick up the past and left him in the past that day.

It was indeed thrilling. At the beginning, because he had obtained the god Anubis smoothly, he looked down at other people with the arrogance of a time traveler and a sixth-level boss. Until he broke through his inner demons, this mentality did not change. He just gradually regarded his teammates as closer people and would be more considerate of other people's feelings.

However, Pennywise blocked his memory of obtaining Anubis and threw him into facing difficulties for the first time, where he faced death with arrogance.

Before that, Wen Lie had wavered twice. If he had truly felt fear, retreated out of fear, and had thoughts of escaping, Pennywise would have successfully opened a small hole in his mental defenses.

Even though he already has the Inner Light, Pennywise possesses a higher level of power that the Inner Light cannot resist.

Fortunately, Wen Lie's spirit had been trained in Ripple Qigong, and he had never given up his practice as a Ripple Messenger. Instead, he had reached this point through martial arts and divinity.

The courage and fearlessness of the Ripple Messenger are the most important parts of his personality. It is not the fearlessness of the ignorant, but the knowledge of fear and the desire to overcome it.

His personality background allowed him to successfully break through Pennywise's power.
