They All Said This Isn't the Life Simulation Game! Section 40

The man nodded in agreement as he walked towards the bathroom… Although their home was small, it was cozy enough for them.

He took off his clothes, revealing an upper body covered in bruises and scars. The man seemed to frequently get into fights, but considering they were in Twilight Street, it wasn't unusual.

He casually tossed his clothes into a bucket, intending for his wife to wash them later. He, meanwhile, stepped into the shower and turned on the water.

"…Huh?"

The moment the water hit him, a pungent, fishy smell flooded his nostrils. The man, sensing something was wrong, instantly opened his eyes and realized the water flowing over him seemed to be mixed with a large amount of blood.

What… is this…

As the man was still confused, his thoughts rapidly faded, and his control over his body vanished in an instant. He collapsed softly onto the ground in a strange posture.

The showerhead above continued to faithfully spray warm water, but the water on the ground was not transparent. Instead, it was stained with bright red blood, and the entire shower stall was gradually filled with the smell of gore.

Splash splash—

The sound of the shower echoed through the house. At some point, the woman outside the bathroom had also fallen silent. Their supposedly cozy home was terrifyingly quiet at this moment.

Click—

A crisp sound came from the direction of the front door, accompanied by the slightly grating sound of the door hinges. The sound of the heavy rain outside rushed into the house.

Plop—

He skillfully opened the candy box, popped a piece of candy into his mouth, and glanced at the woman collapsed by the washbasin. With a slight wave of his hand, a ball of water slowly enveloped her corpse. The flowing blood gradually dispersed into the water, dyeing it a light red.

Then, with a slight movement of his fingers, the man's corpse in the bathroom was also enveloped in the water ball and slowly floated towards Xi Wang.

Having obtained the bodies of the two, Xi Wang nodded, then turned and returned to the downpour. The water balls containing the two corpses followed him.

Splash splash—

The rain poured down, but Xi Wang showed no signs of getting wet. The rain automatically parted ways before reaching him, forming a strangely shaped "umbrella" that enveloped him. Behind him were over a hundred water balls, each containing a corpse – these were all people he had eliminated.

Xi Wang followed the route he had memorized back to the cemetery. He had already dug out a large area here. Under the influence of the heavy rain, a sizable pool had even formed. However, these were not problems. Xi Wang diverted the water and then placed the corpses into the pits one by one. Afterward, he manipulated water to dig up the soil piled nearby and bury the bodies. His movements were practiced, clearly indicating he had done this several times before.

Fortunately, the cemetery was large enough. Otherwise, the hundreds of people from Twilight Street wouldn't have been enough to bury. Xi Wang was also grateful for his strong control over "water," as this kind of engineering would have been difficult otherwise.

"Now… it's probably just that place left."

After burying this batch of corpses, Xi Wang looked at the last small section of pits. Although quite a bit of water had accumulated inside due to the heavy rain, it didn't matter; none of this was a problem.

"…………"

Although it was a bit troublesome, this was something he had to face. And by leaving it for last, he had given himself some time to think and prepare.

He raised his hand, and a small ball of water hovered at his fingertips, gently swaying with his movements. Then, slowly, the water ball, which was originally transparent, gradually turned a deep ocean blue before he cupped it in his palm.

During this brief moment of contemplation, he had made his preparations.

To grant those children a peaceful, quiet death was the only thing he could do now, the only mercy he could offer them.

And so, he walked towards that Sanatorium.

It was late at night, but the heavy rain outside showed no signs of weakening.

The noise of the rain masked many sounds, such as the faint, almost imperceptible footsteps in the dimly lit corridor.

Xi Wang had already entered the Sanatorium and cleared out people from several rooms… But please rest assured, those well-behaved children had all fallen asleep long ago. Not a single child woke up in the middle of the night, and thus, every child had quietly departed in their sleep.

Xi Wang moved quickly, causing no suffering to the children. He simply and decisively took their lives, then manipulated water balls to envelop their small bodies and transport them outside, preventing the children's rooms from being too heavily stained with the smell of blood.

Xi Wang moved silently, carrying a slightly damp aura, searching each room one by one until he reached the end of the corridor. He opened the last room – it was empty.

The room was simply quiet, spacious, and dim.

The person who lived in this room seemed to be absent. The window was also open, and the cold night wind, carrying countless raindrops, poured into the room, wetting the curtains and the floor.

"…………"

It seemed the Mission was complete.

Xi Wang thought this, and with a casual manipulation of water flow, he closed the window.

However, at this moment, Xi Wang's body suddenly froze.

Drip—

From behind him, a faint dripping sound could be heard.

It was very faint, almost unnoticeable amidst the noisy rain outside, but Xi Wang keenly sensed the continuous dripping of water.

"Why?"

The man behind him asked.

Xi Wang could hear the anger and killing intent hidden within his feigned calm tone.

He turned around to face him, his gaze lingering on the crudely made mask the man was wearing. He wondered if his expression was also twisted with rage, just like his mask.

He is dangerous.

Xi Wang thought.

He was like a lurking beast, quiet yet filled with ferocity, enough to chill one's blood.

"You're still alive?"

Xi Wang was certain he hadn't missed. The "water" he controlled had pierced the other man's neck, absolutely shattering his throat and cervical vertebrae.

Yet, here he stood, perfectly fine, able to speak with him. The bloody hole on his neck had vanished, seemingly healed.

"I'm asking you."

He glanced out the window. Under the cover of the downpour, he could still vaguely see countless water masses, each wrapped around a corpse, in the courtyard. He then seemed to suppress his anger and emphasized, his tone tinged with impatience.

"..."

Xi Wang frowned, his fingers twitching. The water droplets around him transformed into sharp blades, stabbing upwards towards the man's heart.

Squelch—

The "blade" pierced the man's heart. Bright red blood flowed, mingling with the azure "water."

"Heh... Haha... Good... Very good!"

Injured, he seemed unfazed. He merely covered his masked face and roared with laughter.

He was still not dead, his aura not even weakening. Instead, he grew more dangerous, like a provoked beast.

"I like your attitude, so direct, so decisive! Very good!"

Taking a step forward! The immense force instantly blasted away the surrounding water. He completely ignored the "blade" piercing him and lunged directly in front of Xi Wang, the gaping bloody hole in his chest still there, and threw a punch towards Xi Wang's face.

"Come! Unleash your power! Let me see! Let's fight! Battle!"

"..."

Ignoring the man's seemingly deranged words, Xi Wang sidestepped, tilting his head to dodge the punch. He slightly raised his hand, gathered the water at his waist, and then gently pushed. The azure "water" was summoned, transforming into a fierce torrent that surged towards the man up close.

But the man forcefully endured it, only taking a single step back to brace against the impact of the water. He then violently swiped, cutting it off, and charged forward again, throwing a punch at Xi Wang.

"That's right! Just like that! Continue! Continue! If this is all you've got, I'll tear you to shreds!"

He was becoming increasingly dangerous—Xi Wang instantly realized this.

And he wasn't a normal person—Xi Wang thought this as he watched the man punch a hole through the wall.

This is troublesome, I should leave first—Xi Wang frowned, seeing the man indiscriminately destroying his surroundings, and decided not to linger.

...It was just that he found it difficult to deal with this man here. After all, he still had to control the water masses to protect the children's corpses... And if this guy continued his rampage, the children's original home would be gone.

He retreated, leaping directly out of the gap in the wall. Using the downpour as cover, he quickly took the water masses and rushed towards the cemetery.

"Stop! Where do you think you're going?! Trying to run?! Hahahahaha! Why are you leaving like a stray dog?! Stop! Come! Face me!"

The man displayed physical capabilities far beyond human. He caught up almost instantly, the ground cracking beneath his feet as he sent puddles scattering. He attacked Xi Wang with a near-maniacal fury, forcing Xi Wang to repeatedly divide his attention to repel him.

As for the man's injuries, he seemed completely indifferent to them, and they would disappear before long, as if the wound Xi Wang had inflicted on his heart moments ago had already vanished.

He just attacked Xi Wang madly, destroying anything he could without regard, as if venting the rage in his heart.

Finally, amidst the man's incessant harassment, Xi Wang reached the cemetery. He carefully placed the children's corpses into the last pit and used water currents to cover them with soil, burying them.

"Phew..."

Xi Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not running anymore? Very good! Come! Fight!"

That never-ceasing voice rang out from behind him again, its fury unquenchable even by the falling rain.

This time, Xi Wang no longer pushed or repelled the man with water currents. He simply dodged to the side, then spun around with extreme speed, his hand forming a blade, striking directly at the man's neck. The azure "water" rapidly gathered with Xi Wang's movement, forming a sharp, long spear that pierced the man's neck. It then rapidly extended, pushing the man back a hundred meters with his body against it.

"...Are you done messing around?"

Under the man's endless stream of trash talk and frequent harassment, Xi Wang had become, just a little bit... annoyed.

He advanced a short distance. Relying on his perception of water, even through the downpour, Xi Wang could vaguely sense the man a hundred meters away.

Fingers together, hand forming a blade, he drew a line from bottom to top. The accumulated water on the ground began to gather with his movement, eventually forming a crescent-shaped "water blade" in a very short time. It swiftly broke through the curtain of rain and attacked the man who had just managed to stand up.

Before the first water blade had traveled far, Xi Wang quickly made a horizontal slashing motion with his hand, constructing another identical water blade. Simultaneously, he took half a step forward, then issued another water blade, advanced half a step again, and repeated the process.

The continuous barrage of attacks suppressed the man. Countless water blades were aimed not at vital areas like the neck, head, or chest that could cause instant death, but at limbs like shoulders, waists, and knees that could incapacitate him.

This wasn't a fight at all; it was a one-sided crushing. If the man hadn't been able to get back up again and again, this would have been called a slaughter.

Even when he occasionally erupted with immense power, evading water blades that would have separated his head from his body or cut him in half, whenever he tried to charge at Xi Wang, Xi Wang would raise his hand, summon gathered water currents, and forcefully slam him down from above, then repeat the previous actions.

If this guy's recovery ability wasn't as abnormal as Xi Wang's, and his combat intuition wasn't terrifyingly precise, Xi Wang would have killed him long ago, or at least severed his limbs.

Eventually, Xi Wang even grew bored and weary of this futile effort. He directly raised his hand into a claw shape. At that moment, the falling rain and the accumulated water on the ground paused briefly, then rapidly converged, forming a blue claw that forcefully seized the man. It then quickly divided into six blue water masses—one large and five small—each imprisoning the man's torso, limbs, and head.

But even at this point, the man did not cease his resistance. He struggled constantly, his head submerged in the water mass twisting continuously. Bubbles kept emerging from the edges and gaps of his mask, and his muffled curses could be heard.

He was still not dead, and the countless wounds he had inflicted earlier had completely disappeared.

"What exactly are you..."

Xi Wang looked at the man, who was still struggling and twisting his head towards him, and murmured softly. At the same time, he raised his hand, and azure water gathered into a "blade" on his palm. The tip of the blade hovered near the man's neck—he was curious if the man could still live if his head were cut off.

But in the end, Xi Wang dispersed the "blade" in his hand.
