Moreover, it wasn’t just the collapse of the world; even the host himself might be obliterated along with the crumbling world, which was something 001 didn’t want to see.
“What exactly is this virus?” Hearing this, Lin Zisheng became more and more curious about what the virus was. It was definitely not something simple if it could destroy the entire world.
[The main system is currently investigating, but there’s no answer yet. It’s only known that the virus seems to have spread from the host’s original world. And…] at this point, 001 paused, seeming hesitant to reveal the next part, [the main system sensed that the virus is monitoring the host in every world, as if they want something from the host.]
“I have something they want?” Lin Zisheng couldn’t figure out any connection between himself and the so-called virus, no matter how much he racked his brains. However, since 001 said so, he didn’t believe that 001 was lying.
[Host, please be careful. During this time, I will go out to explore the virus’s progress, so I may not be by your side. Please take care of yourself.] Though 001 wanted to protect Lin Zisheng, its primary concern at the moment was gathering information. If it could find some weaknesses of the virus, it might be more helpful to the host.
“I understand. You take care too.” Lin Zisheng nodded, assuring that he would take care of his safety.
Hearing Lin Zisheng’s affirmative answer, 001 finally felt relieved and left. It trusted in Lin Zisheng’s strength.

“Little fellow, good morning.” Seeing Lin Zisheng, who was earnestly watching the TV on the sofa, Luzi Yang suddenly smiled. He hugged him in his arms, gently rubbing his little head, and then asked, “What would you like to eat this morning? I’ll prepare it for you.”
Seeing his master’s appearance, the Red Fox turned his head away again. He felt deeply wounded. More than a decade of unrequited love with no results was already bad enough. Now, he had to suffer irreversible mental damage due to their public display of affection. This was too cruel!
“That look the wolf demon had before he died made me feel uneasy.” Lin Zisheng wasn’t making excuses, yesterday, the dying wolf demon’s gaze made him feel very uneasy. Because that gaze not only showed relief but also a sense of a conspiracy that had succeeded, making Lin Zisheng unable to let his guard down.
Now he had a premonition that something significant would happen today!
“Don’t worry. This is the human society, and no matter how audacious the demons are, they wouldn’t dare to do anything outrageously harmful.” Luzi Yang was still very confident about this. If the demons caused trouble, it wouldn’t be the humans who suffered in the end, but the demons themselves.
“Our reports indicate: Last night, there was a mass murder in the outskirts, with a death toll of 23 people, including 12 children and 3 infants. The nature of this crime is extremely heinous. Now, please see the detailed content.”
Upon seeing this news, both Lin Zisheng and Luzi Yang fell silent. They had originally believed that demons wouldn’t do anything like this, but now they realized they were mistaken. Demons were not only attacking humans, but they were also engaging in large-scale warfare. If this continued, the delicate balance they had maintained would be shattered!
“Why did it turn out like this…”
“The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf wanted to heal his injuries quickly. I originally thought he would return to the demon world, but I didn’t expect…”
Lin Zisheng didn’t expect that he would resist going back to the demon world just to eliminate him. But was it really a loss of control?
Recalling the scenes just now, Lin Zisheng had some doubts. If it were a loss of control, the people killed by the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf wouldn’t have left behind intact corpses like they were now. Instead, they would have been completely devoured, which was what the greedy wolf tribe would do, eating every bit of their prey!
“Do you know that person?” Hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, Luzi Yang could easily tell that the killer and this “person” beside him knew each other.
“Yeah, didn’t I tell you why I appeared here?” Lin Zisheng remembered that he had indeed explained why he appeared here, but it was meant for the Red Fox, not Luzi Yang.
“No, but I don’t mind you telling me now.” Sensing that Lin Zisheng was hiding something from him, Luzi Yang felt a bit sad, but at least he was willing to share now.
“When I first appeared, I had no demon power on me. You noticed it, right?” Lin Zisheng looked at Luzi Yang, who nodded, and continued, “The reason I looked like that was that I had just experienced a Celestial Tribulation. The Heavenly Thunder struck me and scattered my demon power with the power of the Yang element, so I seemed to have turned into an ordinary animal.”
“And the reason I was struck by Heavenly Thunder was that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf had been lurking around me during my tribulation. The negative energy and karmic debts on him caused a massive Celestial Tribulation, which severely injured me.”
Unlike the wolf demon burdened with countless sins, the fox demon’s Celestial Tribulation was relatively easier, but it was still a matter of life and death. Lin Zisheng narrowly escaped death.
Hearing this, Luzi Yang felt a piercing pain in his heart. Although Lin Zisheng now spoke of it casually, he could imagine the danger he had faced at that time even without being told.
Even if Luzi Yang didn’t experience Celestial Tribulations, it didn’t mean he hadn’t seen many demons die a tragic death under those calamities. Their charred corpses were unrecognizable, sending chills down anyone’s spine.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s current state seems to be caused by me. Due to his severe injuries, he needs to consume a large amount of food to replenish his energy. And now, it seems that these people are the ones he devoured to heal himself.” Although Lin Zisheng couldn’t be completely sure, he could make an educated guess.
Thanks for the update
