Chapter 991: Chapter 989: Target
"Do you need me to get a room for you guys? It might offer more privacy for your conversation."
William, with his legs crossed, waved off the manager’s suggestion, "What room could be more spacious than this hall? Plus, we can enjoy your personally brewed tea, and there’s nothing that needs encryption in what we’re discussing.
Speaking of which, Mr. Yi, take a look at this!"
As William blew up the newspaper in his hand into a balloon and sent it over, Yi Chen read its contents while it floated.
"Have the Plague Masters arrived?"
"Yes, they probably have fully connected with Body City.
Judging by the current battle situation, some Plague Masters are of really high caliber! Seems like everyone has learned a lot from the previous defeat and gotten much stronger.
Or perhaps it’s the liberation of rules and genetic completion brought by World Infection, allowing everyone to improve greatly in a short time. Even some Abyss might be involved.
The arrival of Plague Masters directly suppressed the current malignant spread, additionally requiring the City of Evil to reassess the involvement of [Sick Focus], ultimately delaying the disaster.
This means we have more time to deal with other matters, such as the existence I mentioned to you before, Mr. Yi.
The one lurking in the corner of every video store, who likes to secretly film others under specific conditions, [Disaster], marked your [Disaster], Mr. Yi."
Yi Chen initially thought William was about to discuss the bigger picture, balance-related issues, but to his surprise, it came back to him.
But this matter is quite strange.
Inside the City of Evil, there’s a clear rule prohibiting interference between disasters, the Eighth Disaster even needed special documents to go to the film crew, let alone killing a disaster.
Not to mention the possibility of killing a real disaster smoothly,
The mere intent to kill them is already a violation, which might invite besiegement by all malice.
However, Yi Chen glanced at the manager behind the counter, who showed no expression upon hearing William’s explanation about killing a disaster, suggesting there might be another layer of relations involved.
Yi Chen sat down on a single sofa on the side, "What do you want to say?"
William exhaled directly, a meat-colored aura condensed in the air and eventually landed on the table, forming a malignant tumor.
"Malice, while being an accumulation of negative emotions, generally possesses certain principles through sedimentation and transformation of literary works.
Like this tumor, it still retains a certain rule form.
However... There are extremely rare cases without principles, with evil reaching its peak, causing disgust even among the group of evil."
As he spoke, the tumor on the table abruptly burst, and peculiar meat threads and pus rapidly spread across the table.
Even the tea that William had just left was invaded, its aroma turning to stench.
"Among the current ten disasters, there’s one such existence.
His existence is agreed upon by some evils and denied by others, many rules are established because of him, preventing the complete collapse of [City of Evil].
That’s the guy holding the camera.
His completely indiscriminate filming, once he finds you interesting, he will film you, turning you into a special deadly videotape. Once created, the individual will fall into an eternal death loop.
The videotape you peeked at in the cupboard of the video store corner records the death dramas of different individuals and groups, experiencing death over and over.
When Catherine and I first came here, we got filmed as well.
Catherine almost got caught in it, never to reincarnate again.
Fortunately, I had collected enough malice from Art and Mr. Yi earlier, and had pre-recorded tapes related to ’clown’ and ’theater’.
Before being turned into a deadly tape by him, I managed to escape by flipping its ability into another tape form.
Catherine was also luckily tied with me in a box of tape and escaped."
Crunching noise~
Octopus tentacles drilled directly out from William’s facial features, and Catherine soon sat beside him.
"Indeed, the situation was dangerous then! I vaguely saw Art boss waving at me, thinking I was doomed, but William saved me at the last moment."
Buzz!
A dreadful blade instantly split the table occupied by the evil tumor, narrowly missing Catherine’s octopus legs and William’s shoes.
Yi Chen’s face was void of emotion, "If you want to talk, then talk properly. Say one more useless thing, and just forget about talking."
The intensity of this consciousness slash was beyond imagination, leaving a long unhealed blade mark on the ground, causing the manager to frown slightly.
William raised both hands in fright, "Hey, a well-intentioned lie! I just wanted to exaggerate the situation to get your attention.
I promise from now on every word will be the truth, alright, don’t slash me again.
That guy is indeed very nasty, many people dislike him, including the manager, because he killed someone in the hotel, crossing the manager’s bottom line.
Me... hehe! I haven’t really been targeted; I have no direct contradiction with that guy.
But the reason I chose the [videotape] as my carrier of evil is because..."
"You want to take his place."
William, with his hands raised, suddenly made a pointing gesture with one hand, "Absolutely right! No wonder, Mr. Yi, you guessed it immediately.
Since we want to become evil, we must become the top existence here, right?
Killing him is my qualification for advancement! I have gathered the signatures of all disasters except that guy’s, just need to kill him now!
We’ve done similar things before, haven’t we?"
"It’s not about ’qualification’, is it?"
William quickly shook his hands, "Of course not! The number of disasters isn’t as restricted as Plague Masters, but the internal rules are quite complicated, hard to explain in a short time, I will talk to you slowly later, Mr. Yi.
What I mainly want is that guy’s [special ability] and [status] as a disaster.
This way I won’t have to Start anew from the bottom and can quickly touch the world’s fundamental, adjust the cosmic domain’s situation, since we have limited time.
And there’s one more reason..."
"What is it?"
"Ugh~ it’s a bit inconvenient to say."
As Yi Chen cast a glare over, like a slaughter knife ready to split William’s skull, causing him to raise both hands again.
"I’ll say it, okay? That guy actually dared to consider Yi Bao you as a filming target, this crossed my bottom line, I must kill him quickly!"
William’s eyes seemed to overflow with numerous evil tumors, becoming extremely turbid at this moment.
"Yi what?"
The turbid eyes instantly cleared, "A slip of the tongue, must be Yi Chen ah! You and I are one, whoever dares to harm you, I’ll surely kill them."
The conversation paused for a moment, even the air stopped flowing.
Ten seconds later, Yi Chen took the initiative, "Can you provide me with his information now?"
"Of course! I’ve been waiting for this moment, for you, Mr. Yi, to formally become a part of the film crew, rather than a temporary worker before.
Now as a part of the Tenth Disaster, you won’t be blocked by the information barrier anymore."
William directly inserted his hand into his ear, pulling out a series of nerve-like roots from his brain, weaving into a readable brain tissue document.
The first line boldly reads:
[Fourth Disaster]
