I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 534 - 214 Bad Luck Bomb, Driven to Desperation (5k)_2

In the distance, Gauss sat cross-legged on a bamboo broom, floating three feet off the ground, constantly rubbing his head.

Oh no, I'm starting to grow a brain. I'm almost getting it...

As Gauss rubbed, he suddenly stopped and looked toward the villa district.

Huh, Wen Yan is back.

Wen Yan emerged from Old Zhao's basement. He didn't see the noisy five brothers or Old Zhao. After stepping out, he looked toward his own home; it was also dark and silent, with no signs of activity. He knew something had gone wrong.

He gazed at the back of the villa district, where the thick, malevolent aura and killing intent stung his skin like fine needles. Without seeing it, he knew for sure it had to be Pei Tugou.

Feng Wei, who had been leading the way beside Wen Yan, shivered, his complexion starting to look a bit healthier.

For a Ghost, being forced into this state was no good thing.

"You should go back to the basement first. Don't come out; my older brother is losing it," Wen Yan said.

Wen Yan quickly made his way to the northern part of the villa district, climbed over the wall to exit the yard, and from afar, he saw Pei Tugou perched horizontally on a lamppost. Blood continuously oozed from his body, and beneath him, a Blood Rope tethered a Taoist who lay on the ground.

In front of Wen Yan's eyes, a bloody exclamation mark suddenly appeared.

"An honest person."

"You shouldn't cheat an honest person, and definitely shouldn't push an honest person to the edge."

"As everyone knows, when an honest person is pushed to the brink, they're capable of anything. And now, an honest person is about to be driven to desperation."

"Temporary Ability: None."

Wen Yan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. At least according to the Natural Enemy Profession's judgment, Pei Tugou was undoubtedly the most dangerous individual at this moment.

Does that mean this desperate honest person would dare to attack me as well?

He looked at the Taoist on the ground. The Zhongnan dropout, who had been hanging there without struggling, slowly raised his head to look at Wen Yan.

Struggling, a sound came from his throat.

"Did you kill her?"

"When that Statue Ghost died, I was at least a hundred miles away," Wen Yan replied truthfully.

"Heh... hehehe..." The Zhongnan dropout laughed maniacally, as if losing his mind.

Only then did something new finally appear before Wen Yan's eyes.

"Half-Ghost-God."

"A monster born from a Temple Keeper who burned everything and combined with a Statue Ghost, with only a seven-day lifespan. But after death, it leaves behind a most vicious curse, like a bone-clutching ulcer, relentless and unending."

"Unfortunately, you are the target. No matter who killed it, as long as you're within a certain range, it will lock onto you. As time passes, this will escalate to the point where, as long as you're both in the same world, it will definitely lock onto you. Friendly reminder: How to resolve this, and which method to choose, is up to you."

"Temporary Abilities:

1: Retrospection.

2: Soul Summoning."

This means as long as we're not in the same world, then I'm absolutely safe, Wen Yan pondered.

He glanced at Gauss in the distance, seated on the floating bamboo broom. Could sending this person back to Gauss's homeland be the perfect solution? Or, could dragging this creature, no longer human, into the Styx River for a rinse also work? Or perhaps go to the Nether Soul Realm and give him the remaining bullet, relying on the Great Sun for purification? Or... He looked at the Calamity Protector Water Official Talisman on his right hand. Could I withstand it with this?

Actually, even without a Temporary Ability, I should have more than one way to solve this. So, these two obviously non-lethal Temporary Abilities I've been given—do they indicate other solutions? Or rather, based on my past experiences, could these represent the most thorough solution I'm capable of achieving with my current abilities?

At that moment, the Fourth Great-uncle Master came over, pulled Wen Yan aside, and whispered to him, quickly detailing the situation to make sure Wen Yan understood exactly what was going on.

After listening, Wen Yan completely understood why he felt something was off when he arrived and why Pei Tugou was being driven to desperation.

If you said it would affect Pei Tugou, he'd probably flash a brilliant smile, showing two rows of white teeth.

But if you said it would impact his children and family, that's when he'd hesitate.

This was an issue that slaughter couldn't resolve; in fact, it would only create more problems. And Pei Tugou was on the verge of losing control. This was the kind of thing that could truly push an honest man like him to the brink.

No matter what, I can't stay here, Wen Yan thought, looking at the prompt.

"Big brother, take him with you, and let's go," Wen Yan said, looking at Pei Tugou. He then solemnly added, "Trust me."

Blood kept flowing from Pei Tugou. His shoes had unknowingly dissolved, soaked by the blood he stepped in. With a fierce, twisted expression and eyes blazing with a bloody light, he dragged the Zhongnan dropout, each step leaving a long trail of blood. He looked more like a villain than any actual villain.

Wen Yan didn't dare to get too close. Just getting a bit nearer caused his own Yang Energy to begin radiating autonomously, using pure Yang Energy to resist the malevolent aura emanating from Pei Tugou.

They entered the community and went into Old Zhao's villa.

Upon reaching the basement, Wen Yan saw Feng Wei was still there, and he immediately said, "You should go ahead and leave. That older brother is a bit out of control. You can't get near him. If we need someone to lead the way, we'll have to ask for your help."

"I'll just keep my distance."

"No need. The Nether Path is easy to get lost in. Don't look back; hurry up and leave."
