#141 - Twisted Origins and Tainted Relics

Wu Wang believed he discovered the traitor purely by chance.

After all, he had no idea that other players' tasks included a side quest to [Find the town's traitor from back then and their descendant].

Under the distortion of the [Eye of Truth], his side quest differed greatly from others.

Because while he was collecting [Relics], he shockingly discovered that the [Relics] were chasing after an old geezer, trying to bite him.

Yes, he even used '82 Lafite from the cruise ship to thoroughly wash his eyes at the time.

He definitely hadn't seen it wrong.

The [Relics] were actually chasing after someone to bite them!

Of course, it wasn't *that* kind of biting, just the literal meaning.

Wu Wang definitely couldn't find all the [Relics] in the town by himself.

So, the nun fiercely used her status as the High Priestess of Agony in Agony Town.

She mobilized the entire town to help search for "strange things containing power."

In front of the Desire Saint Child who had just saved Agony Town, the townspeople were serious about helping.

Plus, having just experienced the invasion of the [Distortion] power, they didn't dare to privately touch these unfamiliar forbidden powers.

Wu Wang wasn't worried about these people pocketing any [Relics].

Thus, on the half-destroyed Agony Town, a massive [Relic] sweep began.

However, just a few minutes after it started, strange news came from the townspeople.

"Old Man Auster, who lives by fishing near the sea, is being chased and bitten by a pile of pots and pans?"

Hearing this news, an ominous premonition rose in Wu Wang's heart.

When he arrived at the scene, he shockingly discovered that the [Relics] chasing after the white-haired old geezer were very strange.

A sword-like piece of equipment had green tentacles, about half a millimeter in diameter and one centimeter long, growing all over the blade. The dense, hundreds of tentacles caused it to move horizontally on the ground, undulating like a centipede crawling, making it look bizarre.

A cloak-like piece of equipment was covered in feathers, looking like a blanket, but the edges of these feathers weren't soft but rather sharp like chainsaw teeth, even closer to the feeling of shark teeth.

A bandage-like item oozed a dark green, viscous liquid, looking rather unhygienic. It wiggled on the ground like a slime covered in sanitary napkins…

There were many similar [Relics].

They all carried various bizarre mutations.

They crawled around as if they were alive.

But their general direction was towards the old man's location.

Especially the sword full of tentacles had even cut several wounds on the old man named Auster.

What flowed out of the wounds wasn't blood.

It was also some kind of viscous colloid.

It was at this moment that Wu Wang realized something was wrong.

He had just seen a townsperson get cut when they tried to stop the [Relics] from approaching Auster.

But that person was just bleeding and injured normally.

Which meant—not only were the [Relics] problematic, but the old man was also problematic!

Wu Wang rescued him and took him to the Mary.

Who knew that as soon as he boarded the ship, he went crazy and wanted to go back down.

At this time, Mary walked over and said, "Sir, that existence told me that during the confrontation with the [Day of Distortion], one of these townspeople's desire wasn't to restore the town to normal, but to let the [Distortion] change the town. Oh, right, He also said that the townsperson cursed you thoroughly in their heart, seeming to hate your act of saving the town."

Hearing this, Wu Wang knew that this old geezer was the problematic one!

Otherwise, why would the [Relics] chase after him to bite him?

Thus, in the confused and angry gazes of the nun and the townspeople, or under Wu Wang's harsh interrogation, Old Man Auster compromised.

He told the truth—as early as after a fishing trip, he had fallen seriously ill due to old age and weakness.

When he was lying in bed, unconscious, but no townsperson noticed his abnormality, [Distortion] noticed and saved him.

In the noisy murmurs, Auster heard his own inner voice.

He was unwilling. Why was he stepping towards death, yet he had never received a [Miracle of Agony]?

He was jealous. Why did even Matthews, who lived on the outskirts of town, have such a considerate wife, while he was alone in his old age?

He was angry. Why could an orphan like Lilith receive the care of the entire town, while he might die unnoticed in bed the next second?

[Distortion] responded to his inner voice.

It told Auster—as long as he stopped being human.

Human abilities have limits. Without becoming an existence that transcends humanity, without escaping the shackles of the body, he would never find the answer he wanted.

Thus, he stopped being human.

When [Distortion] transformed Auster's entire body of blood into a viscous liquid full of vitality, Auster, who was already over seventy years old, once again felt the power of the flesh.

He could jump and leap, eager to share this good news with others.

Therefore, he attracted the attention of [Distortion].

It happened to coincide with the Spirit Disaster players opening a dungeon and coming to town.

Auster used the [Distortion]'s viscous liquid to contaminate their equipment.

Leaving them behind to become nourishment to strengthen himself.

But one of the players seemed to have seen through Auster's plan long ago.

When only his equipment hadn't been contaminated, this player took out a radio.

A strange murmur came from it.

It was at the moment that murmur appeared that the power of [Distortion] was amplified madly, until it pierced through the sky and connected with its main body.

It began to attempt to descend.

This was the origin of Agony Town's [Distortion] mutation.

"Wait a minute, what kind of radio? What did that person look like?"

However, when this question was asked, Auster suddenly died in front of everyone, bleeding from all seven orifices.

It seemed like an accident, but more like it triggered some kind of curse.

Wu Wang now had a bit of PTSD regarding radios.

Whether it was Gao Shan High School or Yin Yuan Village, they had all heard a strange frequency from the radio.

Afterward, the aura of the Abyss God emerged.

Wu Wang had previously speculated that perhaps some bastard was deliberately spreading the Abyss God's contamination in this way.

Then, if there were no accidents, this old geezer heard the same thing.

He hadn't felt any Abyss God aura in this dungeon, and the red vertical pupil hadn't reacted.

That proved that the Abyss God aura that appeared from the radio at the time had been absorbed.

Most likely, it was a [Distortion] method.

Under this coincidence, [Distortion] was able to appear in a way that was more powerful and direct than the local faith's [Agony].

"I guess I know why you weren't affected…"

Wu Wang looked at the confused nun with a sudden realization.

He had actually been thinking about this question before.

Why wasn't the nun, as the source of the [Agony Seal], completely unaffected by [Distortion]?

She was almost always illuminated by this cyclical Day of Extinction!

Now he understood.

Actually, there should have been an effect, but it was all transferred to these [Relics].

Now it was fine.

The things had been found, but Wu Wang didn't think they looked like they could be used.

So, he thought of a good way—use these things as bait!

To fish for a fish called the Disaster Cult.

And a fish called Zhuge Yue.

Maybe he could catch a few more fish to trade with other organizations.

In short, there were many fish in the sea.

It just depended on which one was willing to take the bait.
