Wen Zheliu leaned against the wall at the end of the corridor, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He gasped for breath, only to feel a dry, hot pain in his throat, like a dry and cracked mire after a severe drought.
His heartbeat was also as loud as a beating drum, with the uncontrolled flow of blood all over his body creating a tidal surge like a roar in his ears.
What in the f*cking hell is this? Isn’t this game a bit too simulated? Wen Zheliu silently. At this moment, he had already heard the sound of Happy Dawson’s deliberately lightened footsteps and his twisted voice calling out to him. Even a grim reaper’s footstep isn’t as terrifying as this.
Did he fail?
Is this the end of his journey?
Wen Zheliu’s thoughts were chaotic and disorderly. For a long time, he didn’t know what he was thinking until he heard a very familiar rhyme, but it should never appear here. He said in a trance, “… Jenny?”
[…but you didn’t see that,
but you didn’t see that,
What dirty jokes did they play on me?
They broke my pitcher,
Spilled my water,
frightened my mother,
then scolded her daughter,
And finally kissed my sister instead of me.]
Happy Dawson had led the butcher around the corner, looking grimly at the scene before him.
Standing between him and Wen Zheliu was a beautiful and slender girl floating in mid-air. Under the light of the crystal wall lamp, her childish little face showed a translucent misty color, while her waist…
Happy Dawson’s dark eyeballs stared at her—and them—without blinking. He grinned, and a forced smile appeared on his face: “Surprise. Obviously, a very big surprise.”

“May I ask what kind of noble business do you have here, my honorable lady?” Happy Dawson rolled his eyes and made a very aggrieved expression. “Happy Dawson doesn’t understand, you…”
“You won’t want to go against me,” Jenny’s voice was as vapid and thin as spider silk floating in the wind, “unless you want mutual destruction.”
“Oh!” Happy Dawson yelled loudly. His tone was only a little bit sharper, but those eyeless monsters already bared their interlaced sharp teeth at him, snarling in warning, so he had to laugh twice and whisper: “Oh…..of course, my beautiful, honored lady…..Your presence here really makes this little town shine…..”
He blinked, put his skinny and deformed hands up, made a sincere gesture eager to negotiate, and stammered incoherently: “But I don’t understand; you and I are supposed to be the same people… I mean the same status. Our master, our master’s arrangement is such. But why did you, why did you choose to stand against me, choose to help an inferior, faithless…..”
“The endless cycle has been broken, and I have been reborn in the truth.” Jenny’s expression remained unchanged. “In return, I will do my best to help this human being.”
The expression on Happy Dawson’s face was stiff. He rubbed his hands slowly, and said softly, “I don’t understand; Happy Dawson doesn’t understand…”
“The eyes and tongue that hold the tail don’t need to understand.” Jenny tilted her small chin, her gaze calm and profound. “You are the ruler of this cycle, and I’m also called a ruler in other times and spaces. My army is endless, but tonight, you only brought one companion with you. Stand down; you have no chance to win.”
“Happy Dawson understands; do you want Happy Dawson to give up his captive?” Happy Dawson opened his eyes wide, almost tearing his eye sockets. “There is no such practice, miss, no! As long as it’s a captive that Happy Dawson likes, none of them can escape from his palm; even death cannot rob someone from him!”
“Are you determined to go your own way?” Jenny looked straight into his eyes with a hint of coldness in her expression. She raised her hand, intending to let go of the chains and let her vicious dogs move around tonight. “If that’s the case, I hope you don’t regret what you’re doing now.”
Happy Dawson grinds his teeth and sucks his tongue, popping his mouth into a slurping rumble as he stoically grasps the bow tie of his suit, tearing it into all sorts of shapes, and finally, he flinches, “Fine! All right!”
His protruding eyeballs glared fiercely, attempting to see Wen Zheliu through the blockage of the eyeless monsters. He hissed and said, “Little rabbit, little worm! You have a marvelous helper, and that surprises me greatly, but you cannot rely on her help forever, and sooner or later, you will experience your rightful end with me!”
He took two steps back and gave Butcher an order: “Let’s go; let’s find the original one!”
Wen Zheliu hurriedly straightened up and shouted at the top of his voice, “Wait, no!”
The chain in Jenny’s hand was gently loosened with a crisp clinking sound.
Happy Dawson turned his gaze inch by inch, repeating his words incredulously: “… No? Why not?”
Wen Zheliu threw the finished bottle of red medicine against the wall and smashed it to pieces: “Don’t even try to catch your so-called prisoner tonight! Go back to your old lair; there’s no experimental product you want here!”
“What?! This is unheard of!” Happy Dawson laughed furiously and shouted from where he stood, “The audience is waiting for Happy Dawson. They’re starved for interesting shows and guests, and you actually banned Happy Dawson from inviting guests to his happy show!”
“If he says no, that means no.” Jenny smiled faintly and said, “Unfortunately, you’ll just have to go home empty-handed tonight.”
Happy Dawson went into a rage and screamed, “There’s a whole town’s population waiting for Happy Dawson’s…”
“—I think you’re unaware of what glorious things I’ve done to a town,” Jenny interrupted him unceremoniously, “and if you don’t agree, by the time tonight passes, there won’t even be a dog left in your town.”
As she spoke, the eyeless monster’s bloody tongue swayed left and right, hinting at its hunger from its throat.
“Wait and see… Just wait and see…” Happy Dawson was so angry that he was shaking, his limbs were making all kinds of twitching movements in an untrollable manner, and his demeanor was insane to a morbid degree. “Let’s go!”
He ran away as bizarrely as he came, and with a flash of lightning at the end of the corridor, both Happy Dawson and Butcher were gone in an instant.
Jenny bent down, gently picked up the small photo frame pendant on the ground, turned around, and reached out to Wen Zheliu.
“This is your thing; don’t drop it on the ground next time.”
Wen Zheliu survived a catastrophe; all of this was as unreal as a dream to him. He hesitated for a moment, took the silver jewelry from Jenny’s translucent palm, looked at her in surprise and gratitude, and found his voice after a long time.
“…Why are you able to appear here?” Wen Zheliu looked at the pendant in his hand, and then looked up at her. At this moment, the six eyeless monsters was lying docilely and meekly at the girl’s feet, making the familiar huffing sound, “Is it because of this necklace?”
“The subtle connection between us is enough for me to come to you through a medium,” Jenny smiled, “Time traveler.”
Wen Zheliu’s heart was full of emotions. He didn’t know what to say for a moment and could only whisper: “Regarding Marianne, I…”
“Insignificant.” Jenny still smiled slightly while pointing to her eyes and saying, “I saw it.”
“You…you can see everything?!” Wen Zheliu said in surprise.
Jenny shook her head and said, “No, I can’t do it yet. Even in my time and space, I can’t be omniscient and omnipotent, so how can I see everything? I just saw more things and let go of them in the process of evolution. ”
Wen Zheliu was speechless. He could feel that Jenny in front of him seemed to have transformed into a more advanced, intelligent being.
“You’re a… very courageous girl,” he said.
While looking at his face, the figure of Jenny leading the eyeless monster gradually dissipated like mist.
“I just chose a path to fight against myself, but you have to fight against the gods of the whole world in addition to yourself. That said, you—or those time travelers like you—are the ones with true courage.” Her gaze softened as she raised one palm, pointing one finger in the center of her palm, and made a gesture toward Wen Zheliu: “Use the spear of truth to break the illusory shield, and find a balance at the junction of the two, so as to escape from the endless ring of Mobius. Remember that.”
Wen Zheliu was stunned: “What?”
But there was no answer. Jenny had already turned into flying clouds and disappeared in front of Wen Zheliu, together with her vicious dogs.
He stared at the pendant in his palm and found that the attributes on it had changed.
[Item Name: Jenny’s Pendant]
[Grade: A+ (bound)]
[Activation type: Instant activation]
[Cooldown time: 48 hours]
[Attack Power: Unknown]
[Effect: Summon Jenny Hill to the user’s side for 30 minutes.]
[Equipment level: 1]
[Item Introduction: I am like a wildfire, rekindled from the ashes. I burn the barren plain, so I can see the stars in the sky by the light of the reflecting fire light; I ignite the immortal poems, so I can see the footsteps of sentient beings walking between the flying words in the sky. When the sun finally dawns on my sky, I will say, “I’m the wildfire!”
Then he said, “Then you shall have a long life and remain eternally in the cycle of the four seasons.”]
Ouroboros, pentagram, endless reincarnation and cycle, fully intelligent system… Wen Zheliu seems to have grasped a trace of a vague clue in the chaotic and disorderly flow of information. However, while he was thinking hard about Jenny’s pendant, he heard shouts from afar.
“… Wen Zheliu!”
He trembled all over, and immediately his scalp exploded!
Wen Zheliu could tell that it was He Qin’s voice, full of rage, resignation, and desperate madness.
It’s not the flirtatious “baby” or the teasing “Ning Ning”. Since meeting him, this is the first time that He Qin has called him by his full name.
…Too bad, the unexpected event is already coming to an end.
Ahhhhh Jenny is awesome!! 😍
Thank you for the update!
Since this character has appeared here again, I want to say that I don’t understand how he found out that her name is “Jenny”
Thank you for your translation 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
So when WZL gathered all the six key items from the six monsters he triggered all the storyline and got the memories. And the name of pendant he had changed from [broken silver pendant] to [Jenny’s pendant] that’s why he knows her name. Hope that clear things up : )
Thank you very much! It was not very clear from the text of the chapter that by putting everything together you will be able to see the plot, but now everything is clear!
Time traveller???????
Oooo is this related to the shard he has??? Also what gods is she talking about, the different AIs? Holy shit it seems like happy Dawson and the other bosses are aware that they’re in some kind of other reality and are following Theresa’s will
