nOn the first day, Zhang Zhiwen planned to head to C City. However, on the way, he received a news notification on his phone. It was about C City again, and the news headline was very familiar.

n“The human-eating incidents in C City have been brewing. The number of victims has increased threefold. Countless people feel restless!”

nZhang Zhiwen was confused. He finally clicked on the news.

n“What’s wrong?” Wei Huo asked.

nZhang Zhiwen said, “I thought it was only a headline. I didn’t expect it to happen again today. When I thought about eating humans, I thought of what you said yesterday about obtaining genetic information by eating living creatures.”

nWei Huo said, “I won’t follow you around for long. If my fantasy world is destined to end, I will leave this planet and go to various places in the universe to investigate the truth. That’s why you have to make any requests as soon as possible.”

nZhang Zhiwen was confused. He asked, “Don’t you want to do something else after leaving the fantasy world? For example, obtain a body or dominate the world.”

nWei Huo said, “No.”

nZhang Zhiwen: “Er…”

nMeanwhile, Zhang Zhiwen had already clicked on the news. The news was filled with illustrations, and there was a video attached at the end. Zhang Zhiwen frowned when he saw it, as there were too many mosaics in the picture. Almost the whole picture was made of mosaics.

nWhen he clicked on the video, he saw the news broadcast on City C’s news channel. It seemed like the news, social media, and Moments had been discussing this matter recently.

nThe man-eating incident!

nThis was the core of everyone’s discussions. There had been two consecutive human-eating incidents in C City. The number of victims had reached 33, and all the victims’ deaths had been extremely tragic. Some had been gnawed away until only bones had been left.

nExperts said that the culprit was a carnivorous animal. It could be a wolf or a bear, but how could there be a wolf or a bear in a big city like C City?

nOver the past two days, Wei Huo’s mental strength had spread to many people’s bodies. Many people were paying attention to the man-eating incident. Through their eyes and memories, Wei Huo understood the incident from different angles.

n“The victims seem to have been found in the morning. In other words, did the attacks take place at night?” Zhang Zhiwen mumbled.

nZhang Zhiwen’s perspective was not as broad as Wei Huo’s. He did not know much, but Wei Huo knew a lot of different things. He said, “The victims seem to be creators.”

nZhang Zhiwen was speechless.

nCreators? Are you talking about creators like me?

nWei Huo said, “Comics aficionados, literature enthusiasts, video production connoisseurs, storytellers, web writers, association writers, poets, singers, and composers. The people who were harmed were all creators of various industries.”

nZhang Zhiwen was a little worried. “Are you saying that my trip will be dangerous as well? That’s not right. How does the murderer differentiate between people of different professions? It’s fine if they are professionals, but he was even able to find amateur part-timers. How did he find people who only create without publishing their work?”

n“It’s possible!” Wei Huo said. “As long as he has the ability to spread his mental strength across others like me.”

nZhang Zhiwen’s eyes widened. He wanted to say, “Did someone else transmigrate from the fantasy world?”

nHowever, he was still confused. Thus, he asked, “Why does he eat people?”

nWei Huo thought about it carefully and said, “Perhaps… his mental strength is not strong enough, so he can grow by devouring mental strength. Human mental strength is actually hidden in the various cells of a human’s body. There are many hidden places, like the brain, the heart, the liver, and other organs… The brains and organs of the victims were eaten, right?”

nZhang Zhiwen shivered. The idea of a monster that ate brains and organs coming from a fantasy world sounded terrifying.

nZhang Zhiwen asked, “Can you kill this monster?”

nWei Huo said, “Yes, but I’m not interested.”

nZhang Zhiwen was stunned. Wei Huo then said, “You can do it yourself.”

nWei Huo wanted to know if the imaginary creature that had escaped from the creator’s brain would be affected if he killed the creator. Would it disappear? Or would it not be affected at all?

nWei Huo’s guess did not affect things. He had not felt anything unusual when Zhang Zhiwen had been about to die. Ever since he had left Zhang Zhiwen’s brain, he had cut off all contact with him.

nHowever, that was not right either. He did not seem to have any connection with Zhang Zhiwen. After all, time in his imagination had stopped, but he was still unaffected. It was as if he was not a creature in Zhang Zhiwen’s mind.

nThe secrets of souls were still mysterious. No matter how Wei Huo studied them, he could not figure out the secrets of souls at all.

nZhang Zhiwen fell silent after hearing Wei Huo’s opinion. He knew his own capabilities very well.

n“Are you running away?” Wei Huo asked.

nZhang Zhiwen was still silent. His mind was a mess.

nHowever, at that moment, the coach bus Zhang Zhiwen was in suddenly braked. All the passengers were shocked by the sudden stop. Someone asked loudly, “Driver, what are you doing?”

nThe driver’s expression was uncertain. He pointed ahead and said, “There are… wolves!”

nThe passengers sitting in the front stood up and looked out of the windshield. The passengers by the window stuck their heads outside. Then, they saw six to seven ferocious wolves running toward them.

n“Are those f*cking wolves?” someone shouted. “Can wolves grow this big?”

nEach of the giant wolves was four to five meters tall. Their eyes were glowing red, and their fur was trembling non-stop. Then, they emitted a weird sound.

n“They’re here,” Wei Huo said. “They’re looking for you.”

nZhang Zhiwen was terrified. He immediately begged him. “Wei Huo, save me!”

nBoom! One of the giant wolves hit the coach bus, and another wolf bit the side of the coach bus. Then, it tore off the iron sheet on one side of the bus.

n“The human-eating incident! This is a wolf from the human-eating incident!” A passenger roared before he was swallowed by a giant wolf.

nZhang Zhiwen was terrified. He knew that the giant wolves were looking for him, as they were staring at him with their red eyes.

nWei Huo said, “I need to control your spine.”

nZhang Zhiwen: “Huh?”

nThen, he realized that his body had stood up uncontrollably and leaped out of the window agilely.

nBefore he could speak, a strong gust of wind attacked him. His body suddenly accelerated, and his head was tilted back.

n“My neck! My neck! My neck is breaking!”
