Catastrophe Containment Facility

Wen Wen thought back and forth and realized that the biggest beneficiary of Stein’s deception technique was actually the Tings Hound.

Even if a Time Traveler used deception, they were destined to die, but the Tings Hound could bypass some rules by being deceived and directly attack ordinary people to absorb time.

The first time Wen Wen had encountered the Tings Hound, it appeared to be a brutal wild beast devoid of intelligence.

Back then, it had probably blocked its own intelligence, willingly being deceived by Stein to procure food and complete its slaughter.

Wen Wen looked at Stein with a cold laugh and said, "You think you’re using the deception technique to prolong your life, but in reality, you are just a tool for the hound to get more food. The hound can kill you at any time if it desires, regardless of the deception."

Stein turned his head away. This method had been used in his family for many years, and Wen Wen had made a definitive conclusion just by looking at it once. How could he believe that?

"Didn’t you notice something odd the last time the hound attacked you? It was because you could no longer serve your purpose as a tool, so it decided to deal with you directly."

Stein was stunned for a moment. Indeed, the last attack by the hound was completely different from the previous ones.

Wen Wen, pinching his chin, said, "If we infer from this direction, perhaps your ancestors managed to discover the deception technique because the hound provided them with clues..."

"And even the ceremony that enabled your family to obtain time traveling abilities was just a plot in itself."

"Perhaps your ancestors were merely some feed that that great being from another world found for his pet."
