After passing through the portal, Wen Xishu found himself back at the auction.
Quite a few people remained at the venue. Although the auction had ended, many had not left.
Among them were Rena, who harbored intense hatred for Wen Xishu, the boy who had lost his senses, and the half-headed Yoshida Daibu.
"Why did you come back?" Yoshida Daibu asked.
"What happened?" asked Tanaka Xiangtai, who had lost both eyes.
"Oh? Couldn't bear all that pain, so you gave up? Or did the Human Hole scare you?" Rena mocked.
Wen Xishu paid no attention to their stares. He simply realized...
Hardly any time must have passed. Otherwise, these people would not have reacted like this.
It seemed that although a very, very long time had passed inside the Human Hole, time in the Strange Tower had barely moved.
That's very interesting. At least I won't have to worry about running out of time because I explored too many Human Holes.
As Wen Xishu thought, he glanced at Void 04.
"Where is your director?"
Void 04 said, "Head farther inside. Keep following this path until you lose your senses, and you'll meet the director."
Void 04 extended her hand and pointed the way for Wen Xishu. It was an emergency passage.
All the auction's employees had emerged from that passage.
That included Void 04, the auctioneers responsible for introducing items, and the Pain Auction's other staff.
Seeing Wen Xishu head toward the emergency passage only puzzled the people still lingering at the auction further.
Fortunately, Void 04 spoke up just then.
"The champion has just successfully dismantled a Human Hole."
"He seems to have encountered some problems inside it, so he needs to consult the director. The director has agreed to his request."
Void 04 always spoke with a smile
