American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 138 Mission Completed

"I don't know. As for the meaning, figure it out yourself. Just let me pass this test quickly." Xiao Xian didn't care at all. Who can understand the thought process of characters in horror movies? Anyway, Xiao Xian didn't understand how Jigsaw could comfortably put others through tests with the idea that he was doing it for their own good.

Xiao Xian couldn't understand the thoughts of those who, after being tested by Jigsaw, became his idols and disciples. Jigsaw threatened them with their lives, forcing them to saw off their own legs, yet they didn't hate Jigsaw but instead felt that Jigsaw had given them a new life?

As for the idea that those being tested should be handed over to the police if they are guilty and want to rid the world of evil, or simply killed, is it possible for a human trafficker or a murderer to be reformed and given the right to live simply because they cut off their own hand? That's utter nonsense.

If Xiao Xian encountered a criminal like the one in the "Furnace Case," who was so heinous, he would simply kill him. Who would give such scum a chance to live?

"No, someone as immortal as you doesn't understand the preciousness of life!" Jigsaw shook his head, looked at Xiao Xian and refused, then called to Amanda at the door, "Amanda, send him out. You are not qualified to be my disciple."

"Are you jealous of me, you old man? Let me tell you, if you don't let me pass today, don't blame me for being rude!" Xiao Xian was furious. After rambling on for so long, he just threw this at me.

"If you let me complete the game now, I can pretend you were just talking nonsense because you're old."

"Those who do not understand the preciousness of life are not qualified to be my disciples! Cough cough cough~" Jigsaw stood up angrily, but soon collapsed again due to coughing.

"Don't think I won't hit you just because you're old and sick. In my eyes, everyone is equal, regardless of gender or age. If you mess with me, I won't hesitate to fight back." Xiao Xian said, stepping forward and grabbing Jigsaw by the collar, slamming him against the wall. "Have I finished the game yet?"

A bad person is a bad person, regardless of age or gender. Being old only means being old, not that being good. There are plenty of old and bad people. If we're talking about old people, there are Epstein, Hawking, Hillary Clinton, and many others. They were quite old, weren't they? Hawking was not only old but also disabled, yet he still enjoyed watching little girls solve math problems.

However, it's possible that Hawking mistakenly thought Epstein was Einstein and actually wanted to go to the island to discuss physics.

Similarly, children only indicate that they are young; there are just as many demons at such a young age, and many of them have committed murder.

"Amanda~ Amanda~"

Jigsaw called out the name of his loyal follower, Amanda. Under Jigsaw's expectant gaze, Amanda entered the room from the doorway, picked up a remote control from the bedside table, and pointed it at Xiao Xiandao.

"This room is also a challenge, Xiao Xian. You need to be careful. Jigsaw might have other tricks up its sleeve," Amanda said to Xiao Xian as she took the remote control.

"You actually betrayed me?!" Jigsaw stared at Amanda in shock. He never expected his loyal follower, Amanda, to betray him. The enraged old man began calling out the name of another of his disciples, "Hoffman! Hoffman!"

"Close the door, and I'll show Jigsaw my understanding of the preciousness of life," Xiao Xian said to Amanda. As he spoke, he used his hand to cut off a section of the steel pipe from the hospital bed and nailed the old man's hands to the wall.

If Xiao Xian had mastered advanced verbal skills, he should have used them to persuade the old man to accept his ideas. However, Xiao Xian's current level of verbal skills was clearly insufficient, and he failed to convince the old man of his ideas. Fortunately, Xiao Xian also knew a little about martial arts.

"Ah!!! This is my territory!" the old man wailed, then his eyes rolled upwards as if he had activated some kind of power. The scenery in the entire room changed, and hundreds of high-speed rotating chainsaws appeared out of thin air on the ceiling. These chainsaws flew towards Xiao Xian automatically like cruise missiles.

"How is that possible? The remote is definitely with me." Amanda said in surprise, looking at the remote in her hand.

With his eyes glowing red, Xiao Xian melted all the incoming chainsaws with his heat vision in less than two seconds.

"Fancy and frivolous," Xiao Xian muttered, looking at the molten iron in front of him.

"Aaaaaah~!!!" With another heart-wrenching roar, Jigsaw's eyes rolled upwards even more violently this time, and the room blurred again, with faint red flames visible.

"What the hell are you yelling for!" With a backhand slap, Xiao Xian knocked Jigsaw's head off, interrupting his spellcasting, and the surrounding scenery returned to normal.

"You?!" The man with the jagged head on the ground stared at Xiao Xian in shock. He had only used half of his skill when Xiao Xian suddenly attacked him, a sick old man, without any sense of martial ethics.

"If you keep babbling, I'll shove your head into Hoffman's chrysanthemum." Xiao Xian said, looking at the jagged saw on the ground. He should have slapped the old man as soon as he came up; all that babbling hadn't let him pass the level. He was just jealous of how long he lived without getting old or sick.

"What?" Jigsaw was stunned. Was this guy really that devilish? Was he just joking?

"I'll lift the body, you hold the head, let's go to Hoffman's." Xiao Xian lifted the old man's body and said to Amanda. As for immortality, Xiao Xian had the most experience in dealing with it. After all, he himself was immortal, and Xiao Xian knew very well what people with immortality were afraid of.

"I'm sorry," Amanda said, picking up Jigsaw's head.

"What exactly do you want?! Amanda, have you forgotten the vow you swore to follow me and never betray me?"

Holding Amanda's hand, Jigsaw's head roared angrily. He continued cursing until he saw Hoffman, whose limbs were nailed to the wall, whose belly was bulging, and whose voice was still coming from inside his belly. Only then did Jigsaw realize that what Xiao Xian said really meant exactly what he said.

"Wait a minute~ Actually, I think you quite meet the requirements for my disciple." Jigsaw decisively chose to follow his heart; Hoffman's current state was worse than death. "Now I declare that you have passed the fifth test."

With Jigsaw's approval, Xiao Xian also heard the system task completion notification.

"Wouldn't it be better to just nod earlier?" Upon seeing this, Xiao Xian casually tossed Jigsaw's body onto the ground like trash, then sensed a mysterious connection between himself and the Jigsaw space.

"Have you gained their approval here?"

Jigsaw stared in disbelief at Xiao Xian, who had gained access to the Jigsaw Space. He never imagined that Xiao Xian would actually receive the Space's approval. Jigsaw was quite certain that Xiao Xian's access was not something he had granted voluntarily. Jigsaw had only said it casually; he had no intention of taking Xiao Xian as his disciple, let alone granting him any access.

Fortunately, Jigsaw sensed that Xiao Xian's authority was below its own. Although Jigsaw could not revoke Xiao Xian's authority, it could suppress Xiao Xian's authority to a certain extent.
