Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 333: Chapter 196: The Poor Wretch Trapped in a Time Loop_4

He Yun also showed a puzzled expression. The first two assassination attempts might have been some people’s crazy stunt to challenge her, but three consecutive attempts were indeed unusual.

She removed the mechas from the two men’s bodies and discovered that both of them had a budding red rose tattooed on their upper bodies.

She frowned and said:

”They are followers of the Bliss Sect.”

Wu Chang found the name somewhat familiar. He quickly remembered where he had heard it.

Among the Evil God’s cult, there are three organizations that are the most powerful and influential. The first two are the Peaceful Sect and the Revelation, and the third is the Bliss Sect.

On the Peaceful Town Dungeon, the sect believed in by the islanders is a branch of the Bliss Sect.

Unexpectedly, these Evil God followers had infiltrated the Pillar of the Present World.

The appearance of the Bliss Sect also reminded him of Fang Hui, who had been kidnapped. Fang Hui had once mentioned that those who kidnapped him said they wanted to make him a Saint Heir.

The doctrine of the Bliss Sect is to indulge in desires and enjoy worldly pleasures through the physical body to perceive the true essence of the world.

And Fang Hui was born with a touch of Light of Origin within him. This Light of Origin made him fatally attractive to strong and peculiar women, almost possessing a seducing demon physique that was extremely effective against bad women.

Putting both of them together seemed to make sense. You can’t deny it; Fang Hui does indeed have the talent to become the Saint Heir of the Bliss Sect.

Wu Chang had previously learned that the followers of the Bliss Sect refer to their god as the Mother Goddess.

The term Mother Goddess satisfies both strength and bad women, perfectly fitting Fang Hui’s existence.

Originally, he wanted to set Fang Hui aside temporarily, first strategizing through He Yun—no, first tackling the Pillar of the Present World through He Yun, then turning back to rescue Fang Hui.

But the information came knocking at his door, so he couldn’t ignore it.

He asked, ”Can you tell me more about this Bliss Sect?”

He Yun casually left the two assassins in the yard, turned around, and went back inside, directing a household robot to replace the shattered window while saying to Wu Chang:

”The Bliss Sect has existed in the Underground Shelter for a long time, back when we were completely isolated, and you outsiders couldn’t easily come in. However, the Bliss Sect that originally existed in the Underground Shelter was very restrained, at most using alcohol to numb themselves and agreeing with friends and family to throw a few punches and stabs without affecting others.”

Wu Chang clicked his tongue, feeling that He Yun had misunderstood the meaning of restraint.

He Yun continued, ”But just a while ago, about a month ago, a group of outsiders who also believed in the Bliss Sect entered the Underground Shelter. Using religious trickery, they quickly took over the Bliss Chapel in the Underground Shelter.”

”Since then, the Bliss followers in the Underground Shelter have become more extreme, and the indulgence of desires and emotions has made people more irritable.”

Wu Chang keenly noticed the discrepancy in time and interrupted, ”Wait, you’re saying a group of Bliss Sect believers entered the Underground Shelter over a month ago?”

He Yun nodded, ”That’s about right; it might have been even earlier.”

Wu Chang showed a thoughtful expression—that doesn’t add up. It has only been a few days since the Four Major Organizations were attacked and the Pillar of the Present World became public.

According to his conversations with Fang Hui, even assuming the time flow in the Underground Shelter differs from the outside world, it wouldn’t be that much; it wouldn’t be as if days outside meant over a month had passed inside the Underground Shelter.

More than a month ago, the Pillar of the Present World was still under the control of the Four Major Organizations, indicating only one possibility: the Four Major Organizations intentionally allowed the Bliss Sect entry for some purpose.

All of this increasingly resembled a self-staged drama.

Wu Chang temporarily put aside his confusion, looked at He Yun, and curiously asked: ”Why would the Bliss Sect attempt to assassinate you? What did you do?”

He Yun casually replied, ”Probably because I kicked the Archbishop right in the nuts?”

Wu Chang: ...

That’s definitely a reason for enmity.

He Yun yawned and said, ”You can sleep in the studio tonight; I’m tired and will go rest first.”

Wu Chang looked at the two corpses lying outside and asked, ”Shouldn’t we deal with them?”

”No need, just leave them there. They’ll leave on their own by tomorrow morning.” He Yun waved her hand, grabbed a bottle of wine, and headed upstairs.

Wu Chang squinted his mouth; could it be that there were so many reckless people in the Underground Shelter that there were dedicated auto robots roaming around collecting bodies?

The difficulty of the Pillar of the Present World Dungeon was much higher than that of the A-Level Dungeon on the brink of losing control. Wu Chang didn’t rashly rest but instead sat cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating Thunder Technique.

With his current Body Attributes and 153 Will points, he could remain energetic even if he didn’t sleep for a month.

For him now, sleep had purely become a pleasure. Sleep would take his spirit into a completely dark space, offering complete relaxation, and each time he awoke, it felt like a soul massage.

He manipulated the Energy in his body, continuously running along the route of the Thunder Skill Fragment. In cultivation, he entered a state of self-forgetfulness, unable to distinguish how much time had passed.

In a daze, he heard noises outside, and the strange sounds pulled him out of his cultivation.

Opening his eyes, he saw the two assassins he had sliced in half last night. Their bodies emitted a faint light, and as the light dissipated, their bodies completely healed.

It was as if they had awakened from a dream, getting up from the ground.

”Gunpowder, why are we lying here?”

”How would I know? We died together; if you don’t remember, how can I?”

”Damn! This is that demoness’s home; did we somehow provoke her while we were in a daze?”

”Shit! Stop talking and run!”

Watching the two of them scrambling away, Wu Chang was filled with questions.

What on earth is going on?

Is this resurrection of the dead?

But it’s somewhat different from simple resurrection; he noticed that when the two assaulted He Yun last night, they were significantly more robust, with much better physical fitness than now.

However, after being resurrected, their physical condition was clearly weaker, as if they had gone back to their pre-gym days overnight.

Just as he was about to catch them to ask what was going on, he heard He Yun’s voice behind him.

”Catch!”

Turning around, Wu Chang caught the can of iced beer He Yun threw at him.

He Yun, with wet hair and a towel draped around her neck, seemed to have just taken a shower, her body emitting a faint scent of shower gel.

”Did you see? That’s the difference between us and outsiders.”

Pointing at the two departing figures, Wu Chang asked, ”What’s so different here?”

He Yun opened the can, took a sip, and her voice was somewhat hoarse as if recalling an unpleasant past.

”All the people at Underground Shelter No. 88 are poor souls trapped in a time loop.”
