Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 398: Chapter 217: Panic and the Deep Underground of the Management Bureau_2

It’s more likely that if you gave a crawling baby a crayon and a white wall, the scribbles it produced would look better than the pattern in front of him.

The Wild Transcendent’s eyes were wide open, fervently smearing blood, and whenever he felt the bloodstains were not dark enough, he would cut his palm with the knife again.

The smearing that covered the wall was all done with the Wild Transcendent’s own blood.

Wu Chang felt that even if he didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t be long before the opponent would faint from excessive blood loss.

The more frantic the Wild Transcendent became, the more curious Wu Chang was about his actions, so he simply moved a chair closer to observe.

During the smearing, the Wild Transcendent kept an eye on the nearby monitoring room, and every time someone entered, he would use his power to control them, toss them into the lobby, and then continue smearing.

Every time he controlled someone, Wu Chang could sense that the Wild Transcendent regained some of his blood.

After another five or six minutes, the Wild Transcendent finally stopped.

When the last line was done, the lines on the wall, which seemed meaningless, actually emanated a mysterious power, connecting the black clouds in the eyes of all the hostages in the bank.

A massive aura of panic spread from the wall covered in smears.

The emotion was so strong that even a single glance would shatter a common person’s will, leading to a breakdown.

Not only ordinary people, but even the Wild Transcendent who created this smeared wall, his will was rapidly collapsing, and as it did, his body visibly turned into a mass of black clouds.

Wu Chang frowned and stood up. Initially, he was just curious about the Wild Transcendent’s abilities, further observing him, but he didn’t expect this guy to really do something, and it was a vicious one at that.

If the Wild Transcendent fully transformed into a black cloud and merged with the smearing on the wall, everyone in the building, or even the whole street, would feel the effects of this terrifying power.

When things reached this point, replacing him with someone else might not necessarily end well. Fortunately, it was Wu Chang present, and the ability the Wild Transcendent possessed was related to Mysticism.

Wu Chang stood up and went to the corner of the lobby, picked up a mop from a spin bucket, and wiped it over the smearing on the wall.

Under the power of Mystical Mastery, two streaks of blood were wiped away by the mop.

The integrity of the things on the wall was broken, and the connection with the other black clouds was instantly severed, halting the Wild Transcendent’s transformation into the black cloud.

The Wild Transcendent stared blankly at the mop that fell by the wall, stunned. In his perspective, the mop had suddenly flown up and destroyed the creation he had poured his efforts into.

What happened?

Before the Wild Transcendent could figure it out, all he saw was an elbow.

”Bang!”

This was the last sound he heard, and after that, he lost consciousness.

Wu Chang dragged the Wild Transcendent all the way to the first floor, and after the Wild Transcendent lost consciousness, the black clouds before the hostages’ eyes dissipated, but the remaining panic left them temporarily incapable of moving.

Wu Chang waved to Spirit Fox, who was peeking from the doorway, signaling her to have someone block off the second floor and not let anyone go up, then call for ambulances to take the hostages for treatment.

Spirit Fox was calling for nearby support while staying behind to finish up.

Wu Chang sent photos of the smearing on the second-floor wall, the Wild Transcendent’s appearance, and the situation on the first floor to Chief Gao, and soon received a message from him to bring the Wild Transcendent back to the Management Bureau.

The situation in the bank had surpassed ordinary extraordinary crimes; it didn’t take someone like Wu Chang who could see the Power of Emotion to perceive that the criminal had problematic abilities.

When backup arrived, Wu Chang emphasized with great caution about the things on the second-floor wall, then took the Wild Transcendent back to the Fighting Club.

When Wu Chang arrived, he saw Chief Gao and Lei Huo waiting in the lobby, but Meng Yawen was not present.

Since Meng Yawen left with Fang Hui from the Pillar of the Present World, neither of them returned,

On the surface, Meng Yawen claimed she was taking an extended vacation to recuperate at home, while Fang Hui was planning to travel around shooting videos and had arranged an off-campus internship in advance, so he didn’t need additional time off.

Chief Gao saw Wu Chang with the Wild Transcendent and led Wu Chang to the underground level, where the Wild Transcendent was thrown into a special device for preliminary inspection.

During the inspection, Lei Huo passed the information they had gathered to Wu Chang.

The Wild Transcendent’s real name was Xie Wei, forty years old, a local from Wanghai City, with a master’s degree, married, and with two children.

Xie Wei graduated from a prestigious school, returned to Wanghai City for work, and was employed in East Lake District, earning much more than the average in Wanghai City.

However, three years ago, due to intense overtime, his health began to suffer, leading to a heart catheterization and the insertion of three stents.

Unable to keep up with the demands, he was soon laid off as the company optimized its workforce.

Due to health reasons, he could no longer handle intense work, forcing him to turn to smaller companies.

But his drastically reduced income made it extremely difficult to cover high mortgage and car loan payments, while both of his children, the oldest reaching school age and the youngest born the year he was laid off, were about to start kindergarten, demanding financial resources.

The heavy burden suffocated him, pushing him to work desperately.

But misfortunes never come singly; at the end of April, when he felt unwell, initially suspecting a heart issue, a check-up revealed his heart was fine, but a malignant tumor was discovered in his liver.
