Chapter 371: Chapter 367: Magnified Emotions

A twisted expression appeared on Zhu Wenwu’s face, with various complex emotions emerging, as winding blood threads sprawled across his eyes.

The greatest chasm for the Extraordinary is emotion versus rationality.

When one achieves unity between rationality and emotion, and strides forward resolutely, they can cross this chasm.

But he couldn’t completely cross that chasm.

Afraid of death, he followed Su Changxing down this path of doom.

“Don’t think about anything, empty your mind.”

Su Changxing looked at him calmly, holding a gun as he slowly walked towards the “Monk,” yet inside, his heart surged like tumultuous waves.

The “Monk” infinitely magnified their emotions. For ordinary people, it might only make them laugh or cry loudly, but for the Extraordinary, it’s deadly.

A small flaw would transform into an immense black hole, devouring a person.

What is even more fatal is Zhu Wenwu’s position, Demon Hunter; the collapse of emotions would completely lead to his own collapse.

He is most likely to die here.

In this situation of heightened emotions, Su Changxing’s thoughts became even more active, as countless unfounded ideas flashed through his mind.

When people see a glimmer in the darkness, they instinctively walk toward that light.

Step by step, he arrived at this place, very logically, yet unreasonably, constantly questioning and contemplating his right or wrong.

Without the blessing of destiny, he would have already died in that empty room.

Perhaps Huang Biao was right.

However, upon seeing the Wind Spirit for the first time, he completely solidified his belief, no longer doubting, feeling as if the world was using its last bit of strength to help him.

The “Monk” widened his eyes, looking at Su Changxing approaching step by step, showing a puzzled expression: “Why are you······?”

He lacked any memory of being human, merely one among the monsters, bearing the characteristics and habits of the flesh before it was born.

Standing at the edge of the revolver’s range, Su Changxing fired two consecutive shots, the bullets passed through the “Monk’s” hands shielding in front, pierced his head, leaving two fist-sized blood holes.

The “Monk” fell heavily to the ground, his life force not strong, very easily killed, like a human.

Su Changxing turned and asked, “Can you still stand up?”

Zhu Wenwu lay on the ground, his body twitching continuously, mumbling something.

Su Changxing pondered and said, “Stay here for a while, I’ll come back and take you away.”

He turned to leave, but sensed movement behind him, turning to see Zhu Wenwu slowly standing up from the ground.

A clear smile appeared on his face, relaxed, saying:

“Phew~ small problem, I can still walk.”

His aura was restrained to the extreme, at the pinnacle of Tier Nine, if given the opportunity, he could advance.

Ahead is the largest area of the Energy Station, District Ten, considered the center of the whole Energy Station, also the central activity area before Doomsday.

Before the Energy Station was activated, nearly ten thousand people stayed within, mostly employees of Shield Company, perfectly running the station.

“There are numerous monsters, among them a few exceptionally strong ones······ not inferior to the Giant outside!”

Zhu Wenwu said with a heavy expression.

Su Changxing, upon hearing this, also fell into brief silence; by now, he felt overwhelmed, facing so many monsters, even if manageable, it would take a substantial amount of time.

The all-encompassing enormous pressure squeezed their physical and mental strength every moment, possibly causing them to collapse unexpectedly.

Now they could only gamble on a chance.

Su Changxing took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his backpack, pulling one out and handing it to Zhu Wenwu.

[Ordinary Cigarette: Dingguan, Upper Rank, makes you an unnoticed smoker by the roadside, greatly reducing your presence.]

“Light it, we’ll rely on this thing to get through.”

He lit a match, lighting one for Zhu Wenwu without further words, and lit one for himself.

The cigarette had no taste, like water vapor, dissipating into the air, yet the burning speed was fast, lasting a maximum of five minutes.

“Don’t speak, make no movement, just follow me, we have only one chance; if discovered, we’ll surely die here.”

Su Changxing led Zhu Wenwu straight into District Ten, traversing the continuously changing gaps along the center.

Reducing presence doesn’t mean they don’t exist, just harder to notice, can’t be too close, nor make big movements.

Perhaps in the monsters’ eyes, they were the same kind.

These monsters wandered aimlessly in District Ten.

A few obese monsters, resembled butchers, clunkingly dragging iron blocks, their steps thundering on the ground.

Over ten monsters with white feet crawled in a long line, cat-like on the ground, gracefully, noiselessly.

And a few turtle-like monsters spun around in place, rolling.

They seemed to be showcasing the plethora of worldly behaviors.

······

The two moved through them like one of them, without causing any discord.

Closer, even closer.

Su Changxing couldn’t help but shudder inwardly, they almost brushed past a monster, but it still didn’t detect them.

Seven to eight minutes passed, swapping cigarettes midway, they successfully reached the other side.

Now standing at the base of a giant iron tower, looking up, unable to see the top, the sky-gray hues obscured their vision.

Su Changxing’s heart suddenly thudded, noticing a humanoid monster squatting in the corner, face unseen.

It was unremarkable but its aura was alarming.

Their heartbeats quickened slightly.

They proceeded forward cautiously, always keeping an eye on the atypical monster until reaching the end.

Looking back, it vanished.

Gone!

Su Changxing was startled, surveying around for the monster’s location, but couldn’t find it.

Did it detect them?

However, they could only slowly proceed to avoid alarming the other monsters here.

“That monster doesn’t seem to be following,”

Zhu Wenwu murmured with a cigarette in his mouth.

Su Changxing remained silent, growing increasingly uneasy as the oppressive feeling lingered, the other watching them secretly.

What’s the meaning of this? Observing them?

The creatures’ actions appeared erratic, leaving him unable to discern their intent; normally, they’d launch an attack immediately.

Or perhaps, in that monster’s eyes, they’re still the same kind, just behaving strangely?

Su Changxing subsequently prompted: “He should still be following, be cautious, a sudden assault might happen anytime.”
