World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others - Chapter 272: A group of crazy people

Let’s not mention Chen Ziyong broadcasting his confession in the hospital with Rosie and Zhong Xie, conveniently boosting their favorability ratings.

In another hospital in Tongshan City.

Two Daoist brothers from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Chai Wenhai and Cheng Wendi, also captured an examinee.

This examinee, named Fu Lin, was caught solely because he was too arrogant.

Perhaps due to the rush during body possession, or maybe because his mental power was too low, he ended up possessing a patient in the late stages of lung cancer.

As a result, the keyword he received was “maternal love.”

To survive, he lured the other patients in the ward with money and sympathy to call him “mom” a few times. After displaying a show of maternal kindness and filial piety, he managed to cure himself.

Having tasted success, he went around the hospital, grabbing people’s necks and forcing them to acknowledge him as their mother. Then, he was caught on the spot by the two Daoist brothers from Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

“Damn, he’s like an iron bell cover!” Chai Wenhai rubbed his fingers, shocked. He had tried to immobilize Fu Lin using acupoint techniques, but it was like pressing on a rock, nearly breaking his own fingers.

With no other choice, they had to use a forbidden technique to trap Fu Lin.

“What’s wrong with a grown man forcing people to call him mom? Are all Heavenly Demons crazy?” Cheng Wendi’s attention was entirely on Fu Lin.

“Who told you I’m a Heavenly Demon?” Fu Lin asked.

“Is it your place to inquire about our affairs?” Chai Wenhai retorted, “People are right; Heavenly Demons do seem to have low IQs, easier to deal with than ghosts, but their skin is just too tough.”

With that, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and poked Fu Lin, producing a clanging sound.

“Each Heavenly Demon has different supernatural powers,” Cheng Wendi analyzed, “The one Ling Frenzy killed this morning was obviously more agile than this one and had stronger recovery abilities. This guy is also quite fast. Once he grows stronger, coupled with his iron skin, he’ll be no easier to handle than the Ghost King.”

“Big brother, what should we do with him? Hand him over to the officials or take him back to Dragon and Tiger Mountain?” Chai Wenhai asked.

“If we caught him, of course, we take him back to Dragon and Tiger Mountain,” Cheng Wendi said. “This is a Heavenly Demon, a rare occurrence in a thousand years. Who knows, we might gain deeper Daoist insights from them?”

“Let’s cooperate!” Fu Lin, having overheard their conversation, suddenly smiled, “Not only do I have an indestructible body, but my cultivation talent isn’t bad either. Let me join Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and I’ll learn Daoist techniques from you. I can help you make Dragon and Tiger Mountain the number one sect in the world.”

“Just you?” Chai Wenhai looked at him with disdain.

“I’ve only possessed this body for half a day, and I’ve already recovered from terminal cancer and gained an indestructible body. If it weren’t for you two, give me ten more days, do you really think you could still capture me?” Fu Lin sneered, “There are hundreds of Heavenly Demons like me in this world, each with their own supernatural powers. Once they grow, do you think Dragon and Tiger Mountain can really handle them?”

“Blowing your own trumpet?” Cheng Wendi said, “With your arrogant and twisted behavior, forcing everyone to call you mom, even if we didn’t catch you, someone else would. Ten days? You wouldn’t survive two!”

“I had no choice,” Fu Lin said, “And how do you know that my actions weren’t meant to lure you out?”

“Smooth talker,” Cheng Wendi shook his head, “But I’ve caught hundreds of glib-tongued ghosts, and your eloquence is far worse than theirs!”

“Big brother, you don’t think his keyword has something to do with calling out ‘mom,’ do you?” Chai Wenhai took out his phone, reread the message he received, and looked at Fu Lin with a strange expression.

“Since you know about keywords, you should guess that someone has already sided with your people,” Fu Lin seized the key information, “If it’s someone from your sect, then one more like me wouldn’t matter. If not, your sect should have its own Heavenly Demon, even if you don’t want to admit it. But I must tell you a sad truth, only a Heavenly Demon can deal with another Heavenly Demon…”

After Du Ge’s video spread, Fu Lin had meticulously studied every one of Du Ge’s Simulation Fields and had become a die-hard fan. He was well-versed in Du Ge’s rhetoric.

“Tell me your keyword, and I’ll take you back to Dragon and Tiger Mountain,” Cheng Wendi said.

“Maternal love, my keyword is maternal love,” Fu Lin thought for a moment and revealed his actual keyword.

His keyword was too obvious; making up a fake one would not be believed by anyone. It was better to be honest, which might even earn him some trust.

He felt frustrated. If he had known he would get “maternal love,” he would have possessed a woman no matter what!

A grown man forcing others to call him mom was indeed abnormal.

However.

Inspired by Du Ge’s example, Fu Lin did not give up on himself. Given the chance, he believed that even as a man, he could still embody the essence of motherhood.

That’s right.

Fu Lin’s goal was to embody motherhood, to sit in the position of the national mother.

Moreover.

He was very satisfied with the advanced skill derived from maternal love.

For Mother’s Sake: As long as the children who have called him “mom” are still alive, he will maintain an iron body.

Although Simulation Field examinees have strong recovery abilities, being beheaded would still result in death, and losing an arm would not regrow. But For Mother’s Sake perfectly compensated for this flaw. As long as he leveled up his attributes high enough, no one in this world could do anything to him.

Like the two cultivators from Dragon and Tiger Mountain in front of him, even if they caught him, they couldn’t kill him, could they?

“Maternal love?” Chai Wenhai didn’t doubt Fu Lin; he was amused, “A grown man with the keyword ‘maternal love’? Are all Heavenly Demons so capricious?”

“You may look down on maternal love, but have you heard of a Heavenly Demon with the keyword ‘protection’ who eventually dominated the world?” Fu Lin smiled, “Take me to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and I can tell you more secrets about Heavenly Demons and help you deal with them…”

Chai Wenhai and Cheng Wendi exchanged glances.

Cheng Wendi turned and walked away, pulling out his phone to report the situation to the elders of Dragon and Tiger Mountain. Although Fu Lin was not a threat, the information he revealed warranted enough attention that Cheng Wendi could no longer make decisions on his own.

Fu Lin listened to Cheng Wendi’s phone call and smiled at Chai Wenhai: “Young brother, have you ever thought about calling me ‘mom’? Maternal love is great. Become my child, and as your mother, I will protect you for life.”

“Get lost,” Chai Wenhai gave him a look and laughed, asking, “From what you’re saying, it seems that Heavenly Demons have invaded more than one world. Are there more worlds beyond ours? What’s the deal with that Heavenly Demon of ‘protection’?”

“Call me ‘mom’ first, and I’ll tell you about the Great Demon of Protection and the realm of Heavenly Demons,” Fu Lin said with a smile.

Meanwhile.

At Qingxin Temple.

Daoist Priest Suwen also received the official warning message.

But he didn’t take it seriously; his focus was all on Du Ge.

He suddenly realized that perhaps in less than a month, Du Ge’s cultivation level would surpass his own.

Du Ge’s cultivation speed was too fast.

So much so that Daoist Priest Suwen had to awaken Du Ge from his cultivation, fearing that he might run into trouble due to the rapid pace. He had never seen such a special case before.

“Master, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with my cultivation?” Du Ge looked puzzled, “I feel like there’s still a lot of potential to be tapped into within my body.”

“No problem, it’s just that it’s your first time cultivating, and you shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew,” Daoist Priest Suwen’s old face blushed slightly, “Inaction, cultivation should be done in moderation, avoid being greedy and reckless. Next, let me teach you how to draw talismans.”

“Drawing talismans?” Du Ge saw through the old Daoist’s intentions and smiled in agreement, “I’m also very interested in talismans. Once I learn them, I can deal with the Ghost King’s body possession on my own.”

“It’s not the Ghost King who possessed you, but a Heavenly Demon,” Daoist Priest Suwen glanced at Du Ge, “I just received information that Heavenly Demons are rampant in the world now. They have a kind of supernatural power called keywords, which are more elusive than ghosts. Don’t go down the mountain these days; stay with me and focus on cultivation.”

From beginning to end, Daoist Priest Suwen never connected Heavenly Demons with Du Ge. He was very confident in his own Daoist techniques. After examining Du Ge, he firmly believed that Du Ge’s soul was original.

Moreover.

The Heavenly Demons in the official videos were too weak and crazy, not matching up with Cheng Yu.

Heavenly Demons?

Keywords?

Du Ge was stunned for a moment. Fuck, these guys are flipping the table way too quickly!

In Wuxia or Xianxia worlds, due to inconvenient information, even if they flipped the table, it would take some time to ferment and cause a significant impact.

But in the modern world with convenient communication, flipping the table could spread the news to everyone in a very short time.

What kind of players entered the Simulation Field this time?

Each one so fierce!

They didn’t give themselves any time to grow!

Du Ge helplessly shook his head, feeling the urgency of time. He hoped he wouldn’t be eliminated before he could develop his second skill; that would be a huge embarrassment!

He couldn’t be sure whether he would retain his skills if he died in the Simulation Field.

And he didn’t want to bet on that.
