Soul Patch

Chapter 163 Strange System Prompt

Wenjie looked at Captain Wu with a firm gaze and said, word by word, "He's the one we're looking for!"

Captain Wu took two deep drags on his cigarette, tossed the butt aside, and agreed, "Yes, the murderer we're looking for is the carrier of the patchwork murder."

"Because he himself is a patch carrier, he knows that the system's patch carriers will do everything they can to prevent him from killing, so he targets other patch carriers first."

Both of them felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration, like lost souls at sea who had found a lighthouse.

Captain Wu pulled out his sidearm from his waist, breathed on the muzzle to warm it, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes: "If I find the murderer, I'll shoot him!"

"Watch out! The gun could go off accidentally!" Wenjie glanced at the dark muzzle of Captain Wu's gun and pushed the gun away from him.

Captain Wu's gaze was cold and cunning, a smile playing on his lips. Before the smile could spread across his face, he had already pulled the trigger.

Wenjie pushed the gun barrel, and it fired straight at the ceiling of the police car.

Bang, bang, bang!

With three gunshots, three more holes appeared in the ceiling.

"Not bad, kid!"

Captain Wu sighed inwardly and adjusted his gun, aiming it at Wenjie again.

"What time is it? Why are you still talking nonsense?" Wenjie seized the opportunity while he was rambling and adjusting the direction of his gun to rush out the door.

Captain Wu stared blankly at the wide-open car door for a moment.

He wondered to himself, when did this kid discover his murderous intent?

He felt he had done a perfect job from start to finish.

He turned and jumped out of the car. He circled the car and then carefully searched the bushes next to it, but did not find Wenjie.

Where did that kid go? I just saw him roll around on the ground a few times and hide in the bushes next to the parking lot. How come he's vanished without a trace!

He slapped his thigh hard and quietly hid inside the Huahai Building: "I'll stay here; I don't believe he won't come."

Captain Wu sniffed as he put away his pistol. Just as he was about to holster it, his hand was suddenly grabbed by another hand.

"Hehe, I've been looking for you!" Captain Wu said, turning his head away.

Unexpectedly, he was confronted with a stranger's face. This face was dignified and serious, with deep and shallow wrinkles, and resentment and anger in the corners of its eyes and brows.

This man was none other than Wen Tianyi.

He twisted Wu's arm hard, and Wu tried to break free to draw his gun and fight back, but he couldn't move at all.

"You...you..." Captain Wu realized he had encountered a serious problem. His arm felt like it was broken, making it difficult for him to speak clearly.

"I am Wenjie's father, and the general manager of Huahai International." Wen Tianyi's voice was booming, each word resonating deeply.

"..." Captain Wu was speechless for a moment. "Mr. Wen, you don't understand! I can't explain it to you in a few words. The Wen Jie I was about to kill was not... not your son!"

Wen Tianyi's anger was about to explode, and he used his knee to forcefully slam into Wu's knee.

His knees buckled and he collapsed to his knees.

But the next second, Wu used the momentum of falling to drag Wen Tianyi down with him.

Wu's muscular physique was no joke. After the two fell to the ground at the same time, Wu leaped up like a cheetah, and with a slump, he pressed his entire weight onto Wen Tianyi's back.

Wen Tianyi felt a salty, metallic taste in his throat and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Without giving him a chance to catch his breath, Captain Wu's fists rained down on him.

Wu's fists were as hard as steel, as if his flesh and blood were coated with thick armor, incredibly tough, and extremely fast.

Each punch left a bloody crater, initially red, but quickly turning bluish-purple.

Wen Tianyi gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and tried his best to turn the tide and reverse the passive situation.

"My old bones are cracking and popping from being beaten so badly, what are you still doing!" Captain Wu, feeling that victory was assured, couldn't help but spout nonsense.

What he didn't see was that Wen Tianyi, whom he was pinning down, had a cold glint in his eyes, and he was silently counting down in his mind:

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... We've arrived!

Right in front of Wen Tianyi were golden floor-standing flowerpots placed in the lobby on the first floor.

The flowerpots are filled with various dried flowers, which were originally intended as decorative items for the hall, and the mirror-like material of the flowerpots is reflective.

Wen Tianyi saw Wen Jie running towards them from behind.

After he finished counting down, a scream was heard, and Captain Wu collapsed to the ground.

Wenjie grabbed a fire extinguisher and struck Wu on the back of the head hard. Blood splattered everywhere instantly. Wu twitched twice and then kicked his leg and died.

Wenjie helped Wen Tianyi, who was seriously injured, to his feet. Seeing the wounds on his father's body caused by the punches, Wenjie clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could rush up and beat Captain Wu up again.

Wen Tianyi, who was helped up, looked at his fists and then his gaze fell on the fire extinguisher in Wen Jie's hand.

He broke free from Wenjie's support, wiped the blood from his mouth and nose, took the fire extinguisher, and staggered to Captain Wu's side, raising the fire extinguisher high above his head.

Then it slammed hard into Captain Wu's body.

Once, twice, three times!

Wenjie initially felt quite satisfied watching his father smash something, but as the fire extinguisher rose and fell, Captain Wu's body was smashed to pieces.

Gradually, Wenjie went from being unable to bear watching to being slightly surprised.

He stepped forward and tugged at his father's clothes: "Dad...Dad...Dad, don't smash it, he...he's dead!"

Wen Tianyi seemed to have gone mad, continuing to desperately smash Wu's body with the fire extinguisher until there wasn't a single patch of intact skin left on his body, before finally throwing the fire extinguisher away.

Exhausted, she slumped towards Wenjie.

Wenjie quickly helped his father up. Seeing that his father's injuries were quite serious, he said with heartache, "Dad, call 120 and go to the hospital to get it bandaged up!"

Wen Tianyi nodded slowly.

Wenjie looked towards the front desk, but the pretty receptionist was no longer standing there.

He shook his head, thinking to himself: They probably saw the fight break out here and hid long ago.

It seems we can't rely on anyone else!

He had no choice but to go to the front desk and help his father sit down temporarily. He then took out his phone and dialed 120 for emergency medical assistance.

At this moment, he was far away from Captain Wu's body, so he could not see the subtle changes that were taking place on Captain Wu's body. His figure had become much thinner, and although there was no intact skin on his body and his face was smashed beyond recognition, it was clearly not Captain Wu.

After Wenjie dialed the emergency number, another message popped up in the system.

[Patch carrier 3 Exit system]

[Patch Carrier 1 Consumes one item]

Wenjie stopped and stared into the air in front of him, lost in thought, while system notification messages scrolled across the screen.

What does the system message mean?

Patch carrier 3 is Xue Xiaowan, who died and was forcibly logged out of the system.

What about Captain Wu?

Wasn't Captain Wu also dead?

There was no notification message indicating that Captain Wu had exited the system?

Why is there only one message notification when two patch carriers have clearly died?
