Chapter 428 - 348: Untitled
This wasn’t a creature from Flower Country mythology, so Wen Ying didn’t know much about it.
’I can’t believe the system can even summon a foreign Demon.’
’Is it because this mental hospital is a foreign one?’
The Director had taken advantage of Wen Ying’s pause to recover, intending to kill the human in one swift move and then slowly nurse his own wounds.
But now, his body was frozen, as if bound by an unseen force!
The rhythmic THUMP, THUMP, THUMP seemed to pound directly on his heart!
Then, an immense pressure descended, making it hard for him to breathe. The being that emerged from the Space Gate was...
The Director felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it before.
He could only watch as the being emerged, and the entire space around them began to destabilize, showing faint signs of collapse.
The Director felt it deep in his bones: he was no match for this Demon.
If it even made a single move, he would likely be reduced to dust!
’But where on earth did this human woman summon this thing from?’
’Judging by its appearance, it’s not from the Flower Country, is it?’
’Those Huaguo people are always putting on airs of elegance. Surely they don’t have gods this hideous?’
After emerging, the Demon looked toward Wen Ying. Its gaze was intensely oppressive, like a crushing weight that was almost unbearable.
Fortunately, after a single glance at Wen Ying, it slowly turned to face the Director.
"You summoned me just for this piece of trash?"
The immense disdain made the Director feel as if he were facing his doom. But before he could react, his body began to disintegrate, inch by inch.
This disintegration even included his very soul.
"No, no, no! My Lord! Please, spare me! I’m willing to be your servant for all eternity! We can sign a Soul Contract!"
"A worthless creature dares to presume upon me!"
The Director’s soul began to crumble even faster!
Wen Ying felt that the Demon Mammon’s voice was like rolling thunder, making her ears ache.
Watching the Director dissipate before her very eyes, Wen Ying felt a pang of anguish. ’If only I had summoned him earlier, then maybe little Sayia wouldn’t have...’
But alas, time could not be reversed.
Besides, her Summoning Skill couldn’t be used to resurrect the dead. More importantly, the summons were random; there was no telling what would appear next time.
Only after the Director had vanished completely did the Demon Mammon turn back to Wen Ying. "Human, you bear a scent that I loathe. Dare to summon my avatar again, and I will surely kill you!"
The moment he finished speaking, Mammon’s avatar vanished.
Wen Ying realized her clothes were soaked with sweat. ’My current cultivation is still worlds apart from a demon-god like that.’
’Thankfully, since I was the one who summoned the avatar, it couldn’t attack me.’
Meanwhile, this entire scene was being captured by the livestream.
The livestream chat had already been flooded with tears when they saw Sayia sacrifice herself to help Wen Ying.
Now, upon seeing the Demon Mammon appear, many people immediately started searching for its lore.
When they found the information on Mammon, they were shocked. Doctor Wen had actually brought such a Demon to her aid?
[This Demon is a Foreign one, right? Why can Doctor Wen summon it?]
[Doctor Wen is one of us Huaguo people, shouldn’t she be summoning gods from the Flower Country? I don’t really know which gods we have, but I’d love to see them!]
[LMAO! To the poster above, isn’t that a bit of a guilt trip? According to the game’s rules, summoning is probably random, right? Can’t you see that even Doctor Wen didn’t expect a Demon like this to show up?]
[Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a Demon with my own eyes! It’s so much more real than in movies or games. For a second there, I almost pissed myself!]
The news of the Demon’s appearance quickly began to go viral.
And once the Director was eliminated, the livestream automatically ended.
Wen Ying saw a slip of paper flutter down to the spot where the Director had been standing.
And then there was the spot where little Sayia had disappeared.
"Who’s there?!" Wen Ying’s senses were sharp.
’If there was supposed to be a note as part of the instance, it should have appeared much earlier.’
A silhouette coalesced from wisps of energy in front of Wen Ying. It looked like a small child. "I forgave Sayia long ago; she just never knew," it said. "My father, the Director... he got what he deserved."
After saying this, the silhouette dissipated completely.
This time, it was for good.
And then the mental hospital began to collapse, the deafening RUMBLE echoing all around.
[Mental Hospital cleared. Due to certain... factors, this instance will now be permanently closed.]
[Calculating rewards...]
After that, Wen Ying heard nothing. There were no so-called rewards for her, either.
Standing in the courtyard of the mental hospital, she stared at a pile of rubble where the magnificent building had once stood.
