To be honest.
Chu Yunyi wasn't afraid at all. What he feared was the unknown, not some mere Xia Tian.
He was afraid of things happening for no reason.
Not Xia Tian, who had already appeared and gone on at length about himself.
However.
Of the five human senses, hearing was actually the strangest. Sight, smell, taste, and touch—you could choose not to look, smell, or touch.
But with hearing, the more you didn't want to listen, the more clearly you heard.
Chu Yunyi had heard most of Xia Tian's classic villain monologue just now, and had already gotten a general idea of what was going on.
"So."
"When I kill you in the future, will you be an ordinary person or a patient?" Chu Yunyi asked impatiently.
At the question, Xia Tian looked a little surprised.
But soon.
Pride and resentment took its place. Xia Tian gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think?!"
Chu Yunyi, by contrast, showed little expression.
But from Xia Tian's attitude, Chu Yunyi already had his answer.
"So I'll be killing a patient?"
"Then I won't feel guilty at all." Chu Yunyi's face showed no expression as he gave a perfunctory reply.
But that very dismissive attitude only enraged Xia Tian further.
"What do you mean?!"
"Don't patients have lives too?!"
"Do patients deserve to die? Just because we eat a little human flesh?!"
Listening to Xia Tian's heart-wrenching roar, Chu Yunyi curled his lip and gave him the look of an idiot.
"Hmm, what else?"
The words weren't many, but they struck Xia Tian right in the depths of his soul.
What else?
What else?
What else?
Like an echo from hell, they reverberated in the depths of Xia Tian's soul.
"Chu Yunyi! Die!!" Xia Tian snapped and ordered the three Wrath patients to bring their fists down.
The three Wrath patients clenched their huge hands into fists. Their blows were as big as cars, and they came crashing down on Chu Yunyi.
But the next moment.
Two of the Wrath patients' fists landed solidly.
But once they got a clear look.
They realized they hadn't hit Chu Yunyi at all. They'd hit another Wrath patient!
"Aaargh!"
The Wrath patient roared after being struck. Controlled by anger, he shoved the other two almost instinctively.
And when they were shoved.
The other two Wrath patients couldn't stand for it either. I'm this big—how dare you bully me?
Soon.
The three Wrath patients were shoving one another, and it looked as though they might go from pushing to outright fighting.
"Enough!" Xia Tian shouted, and the far stronger Wrath Virus inside him flared up.
The three Wrath patients' eyes cleared somewhat. At Xia Tian's command, they stopped moving.
The next moment.
Xia Tian began scanning the area for Chu Yunyi and quickly spotted him.
"There!"
"Kill him!" Xia Tian's eyes turned blood red as he ordered two Wrath patients to attack.
He stood atop the head of another Wrath patient, calmly watching the situation unfold.
Chu Yunyi wasn't surprised by what he saw.
However.
Judging from Xia Tian's slight surprise, he didn't seem to know Chu Yunyi could switch places.
"That's it? And you call yourself a Reborn person?"
"Knowing everything in advance, having everything under control, always being one step ahead—that's what being a Reborn person is supposed to be, right?"
Chu Yunyi wore a look of disdain, feeling Xia Tian had utterly failed to live up to the title of Reborn person.
However.
The Reborn people in this world probably had it rough. They were reborn and tried to buy lottery tickets, but couldn't remember the numbers.
They were reborn and tried to take out a loan, only to find they weren't eligible.
Their one tiny advantage was probably knowing that an apocalypse was coming—an apocalypse in which the Seven Deadly Sins Virus would spread.
And even if they told people, there was no guarantee anyone would believe them.
Seeing Xia Tian's furious expression, Chu Yunyi wasn't in any hurry.
"If you want to play."
"Then I'll play along."
Chu Yunyi drew the Walther from behind him and tossed it backward.
Then he activated NO.6 [Words of All Spirits], calling the lurking shadow in the distance closer.
The next moment.
The two Wrath patients charged at him and raised their fists to strike.
Whoosh!
NO.14 [Welcome and Farewell] activated again!
And the target wasn't the shadow, but Xia Tian, perched up high!
In the blink of an eye.
Even Xia Tian hadn't seen it coming: he switched places with Chu Yunyi.
Boom!
The two Wrath patients' heavy fists came down, landing solidly on Xia Tian!
After switching places, Chu Yunyi stood high atop a Wrath patient's head, looking out at the scenery in the distance.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a shame."
Chu Yunyi clicked his tongue twice, as if mourning Xia Tian's fate.
Xia Tian's body had been smashed into a bloody pulp!
Even the bone fragments had been pulverized.
Clearly.
He was as dead as could be.
This time, Chu Yunyi didn't tempt fate by declaring Xia Tian dead. He was afraid Xia Tian would come back to life and go after him.
But.
Just because Chu Yunyi didn't tempt fate didn't mean nothing would happen.
The Xia Tian who'd been smashed into a bloody pulp began to glow with a faint purple light. Then his body abruptly restored itself!
It was as if everything were playing backward, returning him to perfect condition.
At the sight, the two Wrath patients prepared to attack again.
However.
A red glint appeared in the restored Xia Tian's eyes. He blocked the Wrath patients' attack and roared, "Idiots! Look who I am!"
The two Wrath patients lowered their hands and scratched their heads, looking confused and at a loss.
They didn't understand.
How had their enemy, who'd been right there a moment ago, turned into their boss after they hit him?
The next moment.
The hatred in Xia Tian's eyes changed again, turning blue.
"No matter what tricks you pull, you're still going to die!" Xia Tian said his final words as his whole body turned an inky plant-like green.
Bang!
The shadow picked up the Walther from the ground and fired at Xia Tian, who was gradually turning green.
One shot, one kill!
A huge hole was blown through Xia Tian's head, exposing the tissue inside.
But it clearly wasn't flesh and blood. It looked more like plant fibers!
Pfft.
Countless fleshy tendrils burst from Xia Tian's body and pierced straight through the shadow, making it vanish into thin air.
Then.
The tendrils spread rapidly, turning greener and greener.
In only a few breaths, they had spread more than a hundred meters.
In the blink of an eye.
The park in the western suburbs and the riverbank had both become a green hell.
The plant-like Xia Tian spoke, though no one knew what organ he used to make the sound:
"I, with the power of the Seven Deadly Sins Virus, am invincible!"
"In seven days, you'll be dead and gone!"
"Chu Yunyi!"
Hearing the deadly threat, Chu Yunyi seemed completely unconcerned.
"Is that so? Look at the sky."
Chu Yunyi pointed upward, trying to get Xia Tian to look up.
"Cheap trick! You think I'll fall for that?!" Xia Tian mocked him.
But soon.
A sonic boom cut across the blue sky, and a fighter jet burst out from the horizon!
