Chapter 629 - 618 Lord Tian Shi’s Accusation
The Hateful Demon Monster fell silent for a moment before revealing a poisonous hate-filled expression to Wen Wen, "You might as well just kill me because even if I die, those people will be trapped in this illusionary realm forever. I am but the knife used for revenge, the hand that wields the knife is still..."
Wen Wen didn’t let him finish but instead directly dragged it into the Sanctuary, as continuing the interrogation was pointless.
The Hateful Demon Monster was the embodiment of the hate from ’Heaven Stone’, and under such intense hatred, it was impossible for it to reveal the method to save the townspeople. Continuing to question it would have been in vain, so by capturing it in the Sanctuary, half of the incident was resolved.
According to Wen Wen and Moyadi’s speculation, Heaven Stone itself was incapable of exacting revenge on the townspeople, which is why it needed the Hateful Demon Monster as its enforcer. Although the illusion had not been lifted, the townspeople were momentarily safe. Wen Wen now had the opportunity to address the root of the problem, and he already had an idea on how to solve it.
In the images provided by the Surveillance Point, apart from the Hateful Demon Monster, there was another entity above the Disaster Level in the town, which must be the ’it’ the Hateful Demon Monster mentioned, the true Heaven Stone.
...
Wen Wen instructed Tao Qingqing to watch over the comatose townspeople, while he himself arrived at the church that housed the Endless Stairs.
The old Demon Hunter was sitting on the ground at the door. His expression was peaceful, as though he was thinking of something pleasant, perhaps even happy about earning two thousand Demon Hunting Coins from Wen Wen, but he was no longer breathing.
Wen Wen sighed. Before coming, he had considered that the old Demon Hunter might have fallen on hard times, but actually seeing it, he couldn’t help but feel regret.
