Chapter 729: That's Not How That Phrase Is Used!

Regret?

Chen Ye was slightly stunned, never expecting that the first thing Number Two said to him would be that.

Chen Ye forced a bitter smile and shook his head: "Regret? I don't regret anything!"

Number Two looked at Chen Ye with surprise.

This human before it was the most interesting human it had encountered so far.

He clearly didn't seem as strong as those others it had dealt with before, but his tricks were certainly plentiful.

A human like this was very interesting.

"Why? Wasn't it you who brought me back from that place?"

"If you hadn't brought me back from there, they wouldn't have died!"

Chen Ye shook his head: "Even if I hadn't brought you back, you would have run into others eventually."

"And when that happened, the outcome would have been the same!"

"The ending wouldn't change, would it?"

Number Two fell silent for a moment, seemingly pondering Chen Ye's words, then spoke: "It probably wouldn't have changed. Whether you faced me or faced it, you all would have died!"

Chen Ye knew who Number Two was talking about. It was that thing currently sealed inside the Haosheng Hotel.

Xu Na had said that thing was Number One.

But then again, who really knew.

Back then, they had only sealed it by pure chance.

If they hadn't sealed that thing, and something even more powerful had shown up, everyone would still have died!

"What if you had believed Xu Wan's words back then? Believed that she was a good anomaly? If you hadn't fought, I would never have come out, and none of you would have died!"

Number Two kept asking questions.

It felt that the human before it seemed to think differently from other humans.

It had never met a human like this.

A very complicated human.

Clearly selfish to the extreme, always using that man who was neither bear nor human as a shield during battle.

Yet at critical moments, he would insist on risking danger to save others.

Although those two people might be somewhat different.

But in the eyes of an anomaly, those two people were exactly the same.

This person's right hand was still clutching the head of that Big Fool.

Even now, he refused to let it go.

Clearly wanting nothing more than to flee, yet stubbornly staying to fight.

A very strange human.

His actions and his intentions were always in conflict with each other.

Hearing another question from Number Two.

Chen Ye continued shaking his head: "I don't believe there's any such thing as a good anomaly in this world!"

"Xu Wan is ultimately an anomaly. Humans cannot coexist with anomalies!"

"In this world, either there are only anomalies, or there are only humans!"

Because of the anomalies, ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of humanity had already died in this world.

If someone truly believed in good anomalies, then that person's brain must be broken.

Take Dantai Bie, for example. He had been influenced by Xu Wan.

If Dantai Bie were in his right mind, he would absolutely share the same view as Chen Ye.

Chen Ye still had some trust in Dantai Bie.

Number Two was silent for a long while, but didn't continue this topic of discussion with Chen Ye.

"You're very interesting. I'll let you be the last to die!"

Chen Ye let out a sigh!

"What? You're unwilling?"

There was a hint of confusion in Number Two's tone.

Chen Ye didn't respond.

"You still have tricks up your sleeve, feel free to try them all. Time means nothing to me!"

"I'm very curious about an interesting human like you, just like how Xu Wan was curious about you humans back then!"

"You can try attacking me with other methods!"

"If you can kill me, I'll be grateful to you!"

"I feel like I've lived for a very, very long time. It's so boring! Only when I fight against you tiny little ants do I feel even a sliver of joy."

Number Two said calmly, as if waiting for Chen Ye to pull out some incredible ultimate move to kill it.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and glanced at Sun Xixi and Jiang Rou, who were still meditating.

Some flowers had started growing on these two women's bodies at some point.

Perhaps because they were Sequence 4, the flowers weren't numerous.

But neither woman gave up meditating just because flowers were growing on them.

At this moment, the two women looked like a pair of statues.

Chen Ye glanced at Number Two, then his gaze unconsciously flickered toward the forest!

"I want to report something! I'm reporting that there's still another person hiding in the forest!"

"If you want to kill me, then you'll have to step over his corpse first!"

Chen Ye pointed toward the direction of the forest.

Wei Butong had originally been quietly watching the show from the shadows.

He had already given up on his idea of showing off his skills in front of everyone.

This thing was simply too powerful. Although he was flashy and ostentatious, he wasn't an idiot.

Moreover, with his hidden techniques, that thing shouldn't be able to detect him at all.

All he had to do was wait for everyone here to die, then he could leave.

It wasn't that he was cold-blooded. It was that facing such an anomaly, even if he went out, he wouldn't have any chance.

Aside from adding another corpse to the ground, there was no possibility of victory whatsoever.

It was just a pity that so many experts were all going to die here today.

Wei Butong was still silently mourning for the people about to die.

Little did he expect, oh little did he expect.

After hearing the conversation between that one-eyed guy and the anomaly.

That shameless one-eyed guy actually pointed directly at his hiding spot.

Then said something about how if it wanted to kill him, it would have to step over Wei Butong's corpse first.

Wait, was that really how that phrase was supposed to be used?

Wasn't that kind of line supposed to be spoken by someone in a TV drama vowing to protect another person with their life?

Why did it sound so bizarre coming out of his mouth?

And hell, Wei Butong didn't even know that one-eyed guy! Why did it have to step over his corpse specifically?

When he saw those two crimson flowers turning to look at him.

Wei Butong felt like his soul was about to fly out of his body from sheer terror.

"Damn it..."

Wei Butong let out a strange shriek and slapped his hand on the head of the fat pufferfish beneath him.

The fat pufferfish also sensed the danger and frantically flapped its tiny little fins, desperately trying to escape.

But in the very next instant...

That tall, skinny figure had already appeared right in front of Wei Butong.

So fast!

Wei Butong's entire body broke out in goosebumps.

Watching them fight so desperately earlier, he knew this thing was terrifying.

But only when facing this thing himself did Wei Butong truly understand just how terrifying it really was.

It was the feeling of facing one's natural predator.

"Run!"

That was the only thought in Wei Butong's mind.

As for cursing out that one-eyed bastard, that could wait for later.

The reason Chen Ye knew Wei Butong was there wasn't because of some extraordinary perception.

It was the Monster Pickup Truck that told him.

Earlier, the Monster Pickup Truck had been hidden in the distance as a secret contingency.

Ready to activate in case Chen Ye needed to escape.

The Monster Pickup Truck's position happened to be not far from where Wei Butong was hiding.

Wei Butong had initially assumed it was just an ordinary vehicle, so he hadn't been particularly careful.

The Monster Pickup Truck had just relayed a simple piece of information to Chen Ye: "Someone... over there!"

It was thanks to the Monster Pickup Truck's message that Chen Ye learned of Wei Butong's presence.

And now, Wei Butong wanted to flee, but with Number Two's gaze locked onto him, how could he possibly get away?
