Exodus Tales

  Exodus Tales

  Just looking at the people who entered made it easy to understand the place. Each one of them was dressed up as monsters and demons. No one was normal.

  When Wei Xiao Bei entered, he was blocked by two demon bouncers, “Sir, we apologize, but your clothes do not suit the bar’s style. Please come back after changing.”


  Their voices were polite, but their expressions were saying ‘your clothes are too normal, are you trying to make our other customers feel uncomfortable?’


  “Oh? Is that so?”


  Wei Xiao Bei was wearing a western suit and tie while wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He could not help but smile and in the next instant, the two bouncers were shocked, “It’s a ghost!”. Following that, they took a few steps back, and their butts landed on the ground.

  They were not clear what they had seen. This was the effect of letting his core release a terrifying illusion. As for what kind of illusion the two people saw, he had no way of controlling it.

  Wei Xiao Bei had easily entered the bar.

  The decorations inside the bar were not that different from its outside appearance. There were skeletons, blood, ghosts, and even the music playing sounded ghastly.

  Facing Wei Xiao Bei who was well dressed, the guests inside were stunned, but since the bouncers guarding the door let him in, they could not say anything.

  Two women who had ghost-makeup ran over. They appeared to be drunk as they pointed and smiled at Wei Xiao Bei, “Say, say, what kind of ghost is this?”


  Wei Xiao Bei ignored the two and surveyed his surroundings. There were more than a hundred people inside the bar which was enough for him to experiment with. After sitting on the bar counter, he asked for the so-called Yellow Springs Water and treated everyone to it.

  After this information was spread by the bartender, the atmosphere inside the bar became intense.

  Although Wei Xiao Bei’s clothes did not match the atmosphere, nobody would reject him treating everyone to a drink.

  Seeing the happy and hysterical customers, Wei Xiao Bei smiled. They did not know that this free alcohol was his compensation to them for the fear that they were about to experience.

  Some women had even gathered in front of Wei Xiao Bei, trying to hook up with this golden tortoise.

  Seeing their ghost-like makeup, Wei Xiao Bei did not appear interested. He treated them to another glass and drove them away.

  After repeating this for some time, nobody gathered beside Wei Xiao Bei anymore. At this moment, he had been given a nickname by everyone, ‘gay idiot’!

  He had rejected the woman that gathered around him, how could he not be gay? He treated everyone when he had just come it, how could that not be an idiot?

  As time passed by, the impassioned youths had already forgotten about Wei Xiao Bei. Soon, two youths had begun fighting over a girl on the dance floor, causing more excitement.

  It quickly approached midnight.

  A host wearing a grim reaper costume while holding onto a scythe microphone jumped up on the stage. He shouted, “It’s now midnight! Let us tell ghost stories!”


  This was Hell on Earth’s traditional program. When it reaches midnight, they would tell ghost stories. Moreover, they would even invite people to perform some horrifying actions to accompany the story. For example, if it was a story where the character died when turning around, somebody would tap your shoulder but when you turn around they would not be there.

  Naturally, everyone knew that this was done by the bar, and it was done ingeniously and was hard to notice. Thus, the additionally terrifying atmosphere made those who came to the club want to come again.

  Next, the host told a story about how the female proprietress of the bar used humans to make wine. And then a heartbroken woman came to her bar to drink wine. Seeing her heartbroken, the female proprietress recommended a good wine specially made for heartbroken people. After drinking the wine, she felt her entire body become comfortable and she became drunk. When she woke up, she became surprised to find that she had been trapped inside a wine jar unable to move.

  This story might not be terrifying in the day, but it was fitting for the atmosphere inside the bar.

  The people who heard it were filled with goosebumps. Some people did not even dare touch the wine glass beside them.

  Naturally, some people were frequent visitors to the bar and said that this was not scary.

  For them, the host would present them with an opportunity to speak. Thus they would go up and tell their own ghost stories.

  However, they did not know that while they were arguing noisily, they failed to notice the faint yellow light glowing at one of the corner seats.

  Soon, the majority of the people there noticed that the environment had changed. They felt as if they were submerged in ice-cold liquid, and they were trapped in a dark place. When they finally adapted to the environment, they noticed that the liquid surrounding them was wine.

  The most frightening thing was that after their surroundings had been lit up, they noticed that they were being infused behind the counter inside a wine bottle. When they looked through the bottle, they could see that people were telling scary stories.

  In that instant, more than eighty percent of the people there had peed their pants.

  Wei Xiao Bei only calmly watched the changes happening.

  There was no doubt that the illusion from the Core of the Thousand Eyed Devil was initially very weak. Perhaps the core had originally been supported by the Thousand Eyed Devil’s eyes, causing it to become very powerful initially.

  The illusory power released by the core alone was at most equivalent to the power of 3-4 Eyes of Desire. It was only enough to trap the host and the people preparing to tell a story in the illusion. However, as time went on, the people trapped in the illusion became even more fearful. It was as if the core had taken a tonic as the illusory power increased. In the end, it had enveloped everyone in the bar, pulling eighty percent of the customers into the illusion.

  Moreover, the illusions for each person was different. Some had a terrifying illusion, and some had normal hallucinations. Luckily, there were no illusions of killing or murder; Otherwise, there would be a mass-killing.

  Being able to entrap more than eighty people into an illusion was the core’s limit.

  The remaining people looked at the sudden strange situation that happened to the people around them. Although they were alarmed and uneasy, it was not enough for the core to pull them in.

  After pondering, Wei Xiao Bei took out an Eye of Desire and placed it beside the core.

  The core became excited at the Eye of Desire that appeared. It let out yellow light and enveloped the Eye of Desire. Afterward, it began to extract the energy in the eye.

  The speed at which this happened was not slow. In less than ten seconds, the Eye of Desire had been turned to white dust, causing the power of the core to increase and making the people trapped in the illusion even paler.

  However, among the remaining 20+ people, only five had been added to the illusion.

  Two eyes, three eyes, four eyes, five eyes!

  Wei Xiao Bei let the core take in a total of five Eyes of Desire, and only then was the core able to put an illusion over everyone there.

  He wanted to see where the limits of the core could reach. He immediately unleashed its power and increase its range, spreading from the bar to everywhere.

  The first to be hit were the bodyguards in front of the bar, but the core’s power could not continue anymore.

  Wei Xiao Bei could not help but let it take in more Eyes of Desire.

  The Eyes of Desire were like the core’s motivation. As the core ate more Eyes of Desire, some people that had passed by the bar had also been hit.

  However, the core had reached its limit in eating the Eyes of Desire.

  After taking in the ninth eye, it stopped taking more in. Adding the initial eye that he fed back at the dojo, the core had taken in a total of ten.

  It could be said that the core was temporarily full.

  After it was full, the illusory power that it let out immediately shrunk, causing the people to be quickly released from the illusion.

  Afterward, chaos descended on the bar. Some men woke up hugging and kissing another man like an idiot, some let out loud screeches, some relaxed their breaths, and some fell on their butts from fear.

  At this moment, the main offender, Wei Xiao Bei, had already left the bar and was walking back to the dojo.

  On the way back, he used [Status Appraisal] on the core of the Thousand Eyed Devil.

  He found out that the core had entered a state of evolution, and all of its skills had been sealed.

  He did not mind this. After all, there was no much use for the core at the moment.

  On his way back, he saw a jewelry store and went in to buy a few cheap necklaces made of silver.

  After returning to the dojo, he entered the storage room and tried to find a way to embed the Eye of Terror on the necklace. Although embedding the Eye of Terror on the necklace would make it less beautiful, he planned to give these necklaces embedded with Eyes of Terror to his family, considering it as additional safety insurance.

  Wei Xiao Bei had already tested the eye’s power. It was not that different from the Eye of Desire. It should be able to pull adult men into an illusion.

  If that happened, then as long as his family did not encounter someone overly powerful, his family would be safe with its protection. Additionally, Steven and the others were also protecting them.
