140: Chapter 140 Let them have their fill

The Authority possessed by each Great Sin Madman, as well as the price they must pay, is one of the highest secrets of the Madman Society.

Even at the Madman level, this must not be disclosed unless absolutely necessary.

But Song Xin judged that this was already a special situation where details needed to be disclosed.

"Zhang Qing is the Lust Maniac. After using his Authority, his Soul will randomly hide inside another person's body and fall into a deep sleep lasting thirty days."

"Only if someone else finds the person his Soul is hiding in within these thirty days and places the Demon Relic into his hands can he complete the payment of the price and awaken from his slumber."

"However, before his Soul transfers, he is able to learn the name and appearance of the next host, as well as their specific location."

"But the situation that day was truly too urgent. He only had time to hurriedly tell me the name 'Zhang Qing' and a general location before his Soul transferred, without having time to describe his appearance in detail..."

As Song Xin spoke, her face was filled with annoyance and helplessness.

After listening to Song Xin's words, Chen Moxuan frowned slightly and looked at Song Xin, asking:

"The Demon Relic... that should be the token you gave me, right?"

Seeing Song Xin nod gently, he pondered for a moment and continued to ask:

"What happens if it exceeds thirty days?"

"If it exceeds thirty days..."

Song Xin's tone became grave, "His Soul will transfer again, and this time, there will be no way to know the location of the next host, making it even harder to find him."

"Now, there is less than three days left until the thirty-day limit!" Song Xin stamped her foot in annoyance, her face filled with anxiety.

"So, is this why the task you gave me has a three-day time limit?"

Song Xin nodded frantically.

Chen Moxuan felt speechless inside and really wanted to complain fiercely.

He really wanted to ask, since this was such an important task, how did you drag it out until there were only three days left before taking action?

And in the end, because your tracks were exposed, you had to hand it over to someone else to handle; this is simply too unreliable.

However, asking these questions would serve no purpose in solving the current matter, other than adding to the air of blame.

Chen Moxuan decided to continue asking for some details:

"You said the situation was quite urgent that day... are you sure the name you heard was Zhang Qing?"

Song Xin was stunned on the spot by this question from Chen Moxuan.

She frowned slightly, a touch of confusion in her eyes, and began to carefully recall the circumstances of that day.

After a long while, she stammered:

"Hmm... now that you mention it... the wind was a bit strong that day, and his consciousness vanished the moment he finished saying the name. Perhaps there is a possibility that he didn't finish saying the full name!"

"But that he was at the Third Hope Middle School in C City, I definitely didn't mishear that." Song Xin stated very firmly.

"Is the Lust Maniac male or female? Does the Soul transfer have gender restrictions?"

"I don't know... the targets he transfers to can be male or female, and his personality will change according to the gender after he awakens."

"However, I feel that he was originally a man!" Song Xin voiced her conjecture.

A glimmer of contemplation flashed in Chen Moxuan's eyes, and he continued to ask:

"Is his combat strength strong?"

"Among the existing five Great Sin Madmen, his combat strength can firmly rank in the top three." Song Xin answered without hesitation.

"Alright, I understand."

Chen Moxuan responded softly, and after a moment of contemplation, he took steady strides and walked slowly toward the door.

After understanding the rules of this Continental Carnival, Chen Moxuan already knew that besides him, a new Monster would appear in C City every once in a while.

In the current situation, if he could add a powerful helper right now, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

It cannot be denied that he had once thought about solving all the troubles on his own.

But to have a clear opportunity to increase his own effective strength and give it up because of momentary arrogance would seem somewhat foolish.

Moreover, this was a task he needed to complete, and it could also be considered repaying a favor to Song Xin.

And there are also those students at the Third Hope Middle School; although he had spent less than a day with them, they could be considered to have touched his Karma.

During the time Wan Chaoren attacked Grade 3 Class 2, he was powerless to reverse the Karma he had incurred.

But now, he already has the ability to end Karma.

"Hey, haven't you already learned a concealment technique?"

Song Xin saw that Chen Moxuan was heading out with the intention of continuing the task and searching for the Lust Maniac.

Yet, seeing that he actually planned to go out so openly, she was still somewhat confused.

"No need." Chen Moxuan's expression was calm, and he responded indifferently.

"Why? Although I don't fully understand those rules, I know that those people want to find you to earn points, right?"

"That is exactly my plan." The corners of Chen Moxuan's mouth curled up slightly, "I want to let everyone who wants to grind points do so to their hearts' content."

After saying this, Chen Moxuan did not linger any longer and strode out of the hotel.

Since the Hero Association had classified him as a Monster, he would walk down the street openly and let those ordinary people grind points to their hearts' content.

On the way to find the Lust Maniac, he would start with all the teachers and students of Third Hope Middle School, letting them accumulate points to exchange for sufficient supplies.

Of course, if anyone was blind enough to try and use him to earn that so-called kill score.

He wouldn't mind letting these guys, whose brains were controlled by greed, know what it means to have the resolve of a killer.

In an instant, a scorching burst of flames rose from within his body, carrying him rapidly into the high sky as he sped toward the direction of the air-raid shelter.

...

Time returns to the present.

Inside the G District Hero Association command center.

Everyone looked at the screen, at the display representing the lost signal of the mechanical pod, and fell into silence.
