Shen Wei looked speechlessly at his cute right hand, all the while running and explaining helplessly,

"As for why I speculate as such, I have the following deductions: these tapes numbered 1 to 6 are like spatial fault lines. They're segmented, or rather, layered. Each time we watch a tape, we descend a layer of space, or rather, the Reverse World..."

"And all the houses on this street are like intersections of timelines and Reverse World spatial lines. Each villa is a point where they converge. But the timeline of each villa is different. My timeline is later, so I don't have Tape 0. Perhaps in my timeline, that tape was taken away long ago."

"Little Sister Angie's timeline might be earlier. She might have Tape 0, a timeline where Tape 0 hasn't been taken yet..."

After hearing Shen Wei's reasoning, the Evil God Right Hand was stunned.

"No wonder there are identical villas everywhere, arranged vertically and horizontally! So each point is an intersection of a timeline and a Reverse World spatial line. The intersection of time and space where we are is relatively late!"

"The Golden-Haired Little Sister is in a relatively earlier timeline than us. In her timeline, we might find Tape 0..."

"Wow, how did you figure this out? Tell me, did you steal my brain? Back in the day, I was just as smart as you. You must have stolen my brain..."

As the Evil God Right Hand spoke, it reached out to grab Shen Wei's hair, but Shen Wei shook it off.

"Give me a break. Even a zombie would open your brain, take a look, and leave in disappointment. If they had any sympathy, they might even break off a piece of their own brain to donate to you..."

Shen Wei's words were sharp, which made the Evil God Right Hand very dissatisfied.

"Fatal Chicken Beating Warning..."

Hearing that this guy was really angry, Shen Wei wisely shut his mouth!

"Grab that kid. We'll split the anomalous object on him evenly..."

"I have a feeling he has some kind of purpose. Maybe he's found a crucial clue about the path to survival. Don't kill him yet, just cripple him..."

"Leave it to me. I'll turn him into my puppet. Then we can ask him anything we want..."

Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the villa where the Golden-Haired Little Sister Angie was, the figures wandering the streets caught up to him.

To Shen Wei's surprise, most of those who mentioned him were human survivors, with only a few rotting corpses.

"So that's how it is. All the survivors participating in the Rule Anomaly are distributed in layers of the Reverse World. Whichever tape they play first, the survivors with the same tape will be transported to the same layer of the Reverse World. And this street full of villas is the timeline of this layer of the Reverse World. The villas are each point in time..."

Shen Wei finally understood why he had only encountered six Chosen Ones so far. They had all been scattered.

Those few Chosen Ones were cautious and didn't attack Shen Wei immediately. Instead, they controlled the rotting corpses to test Shen Wei's strength. If he was too strong, they would seek cooperation. If he was weak, then too bad, even the remaining value of the corpses would be squeezed dry.

Several corpses, like agile zombies, pounced on Shen Wei. Shen Wei opened the Yin-Yang Umbrella to block the attack of two of the corpses, then with his other hand, he pulled out the knife from the umbrella handle and swung it horizontally, directly decapitating one of the corpses.

Then, Shen Wei moved the Yin-Yang Umbrella and swept the knife horizontally again, sending the heads of the other two corpses flying into the sky as well.

At this moment, a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the other six Chosen Ones surrounding Shen Wei.

"Brother, you're in such a hurry. Have you discovered any information about the path to survival? We're all Chosen Ones. We should help each other. You tell us the information, and we can give you an anomalous object as a reward..."

A skinny old man with triangular eyes chuckled a few times and said to Shen Wei.

"This brother, don't mind what happened just now. The reason we let those corpses attack you was mainly because you were too fast. We couldn't tell if you were a human or a ghost, so we had to test you..."

A middle-aged man with his hair combed neatly said with a smile. The others echoed his sentiments.

Naturally, Shen Wei couldn't tell them the information about the path to survival. These guys clearly had ill intentions and had temporarily formed an alliance. If he revealed the path to survival, then he and the Golden-Haired Little Sister Angie would inevitably be besieged by the six of them.

Because according to his deduction, Tape 0 only existed at specific points in time, and the number was definitely very small. The difficulty of obtaining it was also very high. Just look at Shen Wei. He hadn't even completely searched the entire villa before being driven out by those ghosts!

Overall, in the eyes of those cunning and treacherous Chosen Ones who licked blood off their blades, killing other Chosen Ones was easier.

"Everyone, you also know the danger inside the villas. I was just chased by a large number of ghosts and had no choice but to escape to the street, hoping to find the protection of our organization's boss..."

With the other side having the advantage in numbers, Shen Wei had no choice but to act tough and exaggerate, preparing to scare these guys first.

"Organization? Which organization are you from?"

The greasy middle-aged man with his hair combed neatly said with a fake smile.

"I'm from the Divine Radiance Society. My boss is John, the white strongman covered in guns. You should have heard of him..."

Shen Wei directly used the name of the Divine Radiance Society to bluff, and these guys were indeed intimidated, because the people of the Divine Radiance Society were all lunatics.

"You wouldn't be bluffing me, would you?"

The skinny old man's eyes darted around, trying to probe Shen Wei.

"Don't believe me? The Divine Radiance Society has a big operation this time. A total of six people came, each one a master."

"In addition to our boss John, there's also a woman cosplaying as Harley Quinn named Kelly. As for the other three, one is a Japanese samurai, one is a wizard, and one is an evil nun. These three don't like me revealing their names, so I won't say them..."

Shen Wei's words successfully fooled these six Chosen Ones. The skinny old man said to the greasy middle-aged man, "This guy might really be from the Divine Radiance Society. I've heard of the names John and Kelly. They're very cruel. And recently, a few more lunatics have joined the Divine Radiance Society. I heard there's a powerful Japanese samurai among them. I don't know about the rest. It's best not to provoke these lunatics, especially since there are six of them, and their fighting power is very strong. Once we start fighting, we might not be able to beat them..."

The greasy middle-aged man nodded, indicating that he understood. At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling that Shen Wei was free to leave.

"This little brother, it's all a misunderstanding. We've also cooperated with the Divine Radiance Society before. We can be considered allies, allies! Please, don't delay your important matters..."

"Then thank you, everyone. I'll take my leave first..."

Shen Wei faced these smiling tigers, walking backward step by step to the gate of the Golden-Haired Little Sister's villa, afraid that these guys would go back on their word and suddenly launch a sneak attack on him. But that didn't happen.

Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, leaped up, and jumped over the several-meter-high iron gate, successfully landing in the Golden-Haired Little Sister's yard.

Logically speaking, the Golden-Haired Little Sister Angie should have noticed that he had appeared outside long ago. The fact that she hasn't come out to greet him now means either she's encountered trouble, or she's already used the tape to escape this layer of space.

But either way, it's very disadvantageous for Shen Wei.
