Nightmare Light

Chapter 289 Wenqujun (2)
On the mountaintop, amidst the mist, a cold wind howled.

A giant brain floated in the air, while the cultist in black and red robes lay on the ground.

The story of Wenqujun continues.

"You're looking for the Book of Infinity, and the Blood Society is looking for you..."

Through the brain's narration, Lin Wang gradually deduced the true nature of the matter.

“That’s basically it.” Cang curled one of his tentacles and made a checkmark. “The Book of Infinity is a creation of the gods, not something humans should read, so I must find it and snatch it from the Blood Society.”

Lin Wang nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this moment, Tian Taozi raised another question: "Ah! There's something I don't understand!"

The big brain didn't move its body, but its two eyes bulged out from its head and turned towards her, looking incredibly eerie...

"You used to be an ordinary-looking man, why have you changed like this? Did you come out of... that Lushan Security Guard's head?"

“That ordinary appearance was my image in this… world, and I had always used that image to show myself to others,” Cang said. “But later, the people of the Divine Blood Society discovered me and began to hunt me down, so I abandoned that body and only kept my brain—the people of the Divine Blood Society thought I was dead and gave up the hunt.”

"Then what about Lushan Security..."

“He’s a cultist of divine blood.” Cang walked to the unconscious cultist on the ground, turned him over, and tore open his robe with his tentacles to reveal his skin. “Look.”

The two men saw a red diamond-shaped pattern on the cultist's abdomen, with a water droplet on top and two curves supporting the diamond below.

Lin Wang glanced at Tian Taozi, who nodded and picked up her phone: "Hello, boss..."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Less than two minutes later, the phone rang again.

After listening to the phone call, Tian Taozi said to the two people (one person and one brain): "The body has been examined - the deceased had the same pattern on his abdomen."

The truth has come out.

"So this guy is a Blood Cultist," Tian Taozi said, somewhat surprised, then suddenly looked at Wenqujun with utter horror. "So you pried open his head and ate his brain? Ew... How terrifying."

Then she immediately followed up with another question: "What does it taste like?"

Cang fell to the ground with a thud: "Me, the dignified Wenqujun, do I need to eat the brain of a cultist! What are you, a mere mortal woman, thinking about every day!"

It propped itself up with its tentacles and flew up again, one tentacle poised to pound on Tian Taozi's head: "I am the God of Knowledge! As long as I casually fill his brain with some knowledge, I can 'descend' into his brain along with the knowledge, and then be reborn in his mind!"

"I don't need to eat his brain! Understand?"

Tian Taozi nodded excitedly: "Mmm! So, is it delicious?"

"..."

While Tian Taozi and Wenqujun were making a ruckus, Lin Wang fell into deep thought.

The methods of the gods are truly unbelievable and incredibly diverse...

Lin Wang gained a deeper understanding of the extent of the gods' evil nature.

That book... the Book of Infinity, which god created it?

What was His purpose in creating that thing?
He had a feeling that after solving one part of the puzzle, there were many more, even bigger puzzles waiting for him.

Lin Wang took a breath and interrupted the two who were making a fuss (each with their own brain): "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business first." He pointed to the Blood Cultist on the ground: "So, the whole story is that you found a Blood Cultist at Deer Mountain Villa—you casually instilled some knowledge into him, and then followed the knowledge into his brain to kill him."

Cang said, "This knowledge wasn't just randomly given to me... I prepared it carefully, okay?"

"Hmm? What have you prepared?"

"I put a notebook on the bookshelf."

Lin Wang's face twitched slightly, somewhat unwilling to delve into the details of the matter. He continued, "So, how did you end up running out again to beat up this guy?"

He pointed to the cult members who had collapsed on the ground.

"It's because I projected myself into that guy's mind—that's how I learned what they were doing and where he was hiding."

“When he was up on the mountain pretending to be a ghost, I suddenly jumped out and gave him a good beating.” Wenqujun picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the unconscious man. “This guy is very vigilant and has great stamina. He’s exhausted his brain.”

"..."

Having discussed this, the whole story has been thoroughly clarified.

Lin Wang asked Cang, "What are your plans for the future?"

“I need to continue investigating that book,” Wenqujun said. “I can’t let something so dangerous remain in the hands of these cultists… Moreover, I need to find a way to rescue those immortals, those who are controlled by the Divine Blood Cult.”

Lin Wang nodded: "This matter is indeed very important... but are you going to continue operating in the mortal world looking like this?"

"What's wrong with this? Isn't it beautiful?" The brain curled up its two tentacles and made a "fitness" pose. "I think this is the ultimate perfect shape - only the thinking organs are left, and nothing else is needed."

"..."

The more books you have, the longer you will grow.

Lin Wang and Cang, also known as Wenqujun, agreed that He would usually live in the tree fern tree—and Qunshanjun readily agreed.

“I want Him to stay away from me when He chooses a house; I don’t want to be neighbors with an ugly god,” she said.

On ordinary days, He would move about in the secular world, trying to find out the hiding places of the Blood Cultists and the location of the Book of Infinity as quickly as possible.

For safety reasons, Lin Wang left white flames on Him so that he could know immediately if He was attacked by the Blood Cult.

After discussing these matters, Lin Wang carried the unconscious Blood Cult member back, with Tian Taozi following beside him. Wen Qu Jun concealed his presence, shrunk his size, and stopped on Lin Wang's shoulder, making him undetectable to ordinary people.

Ordinary people don't need to know about Wenqujun's affairs—a deity other than a goddess who suddenly appears in the mortal world can easily create huge panic.

But Jiang Shanjun and Ji Shuxun had the right to know—the former was the head of the Public Security Bureau's section chief who specialized in handling unusual matters and possessed a great deal of knowledge about unusual matters, while the latter was the most important participant in this case.

"...That's how it is." In a reception room on Lushan Mountain, Lin Wang threw the unconscious cultist on the ground and introduced Cang to the two of them.

The two looked at the big head with slight surprise and curiosity.

Jiang Shanjun stood up, his attitude extremely respectful, and bowed to Cang: "Greetings to you, Lord of Wisdom."

The big-headed creature waved its tentacles: "The formalities can be waived, and I have already stepped down from my divine position—now no one in the mortal world knows that such a god exists... oh, except for you few."

"Alright, there will be plenty of time for pleasantries later. Now, let's see what this Blood Cult knows," Lin Wang interrupted their conversation.

All eyes turned to the Blood Cult.
