Truth Listener's ability allowed Zhou Wen to directly hear the internal structure of the television.
However, Zhou Wen didn't know much about circuit boards, so he didn't see any problems. He didn't find any Companion Beasts or dimensional creatures inside, but he realized that there was an electric current flowing inside.
It's impossible that there's no problem. Zhou Wen checked it several times, but he didn't see any problems.
He tried using the remote control to turn off the television, but the television was turned off again. It looked no different from a normal television.
What the hell? Could it be that the electric current generated by the thunderstorm ran into the television, causing it to have electricity? Zhou Wen studied it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why there was electricity in the television. However, even he didn't believe this guess.
"I'd like to see just what exactly is playing tricks here." Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to monitor the entire hotel and the surrounding area. Even in the heavy rain, nothing could escape his ears.
Zhou Wen sat on the log and stared at the television.
Boom!
After a while, thunder sounded in the sky again. It felt like the thunder was very close, as though it had exploded outside the building.
Suddenly, the television lit up and began playing a movie.
"Cut the crap. Take off … Ah, take off my clothes … Hey, what are you doing … Are you trying to kill me … How amazing. Even if I'm beaten to death by you, it's worth it …"
Zhou Wen kept staring at the television, and Truth Listener kept monitoring all the components in the television. However, for some reason, the television suddenly had electricity.
There were no suspicious signs in the hotel or outside. There were no people or dimensional creatures.
Strange, could it be that the lightning outside was transmitted into the television? Zhou Wen felt that this matter wasn't reliable. Ignoring the fact that lightning couldn't be transmitted in, even if it could, it would only damage the components. It was impossible for the television to work normally.
This time, Zhou Wen didn't switch off the television. He just sat there and watched. The television was really full of electricity. After watching for a while, it was still playing.
"Who can be worse than me!" A person on the television asked the heavens before collapsing to the ground.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Although he found this matter rather odd, this old movie was quite funny.
Even if someone is really up to no good, if I leave this place now and enter the heavy rain, I might end up being ambushed. I'll just wait and see. Zhou Wen decided not to turn off the television. He switched it on and slept on the log.
Truth Listener's ability was constantly on. If there was any commotion, Zhou Wen would immediately know. His Essence Energy Art had also switched to Dao Sutra. With the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder Life Soul, he had some protection.
The television kept playing old movies, one after another, but other than that, nothing else happened.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Wen suddenly heard footsteps coming from the inn's entrance. He immediately woke up. With Truth Listener's ability, he immediately saw a strange person run in.
The person's clothes were tattered. His hair was charred black, and he looked like he had just been struck by lightning.
Finally, you can't help but move? Zhou Wen sat up and monitored the person's every move.
After the person entered, he sniffed around before walking towards Zhou Wen's room.
Indeed, he's here for me, Zhou Wen thought.
When the person arrived at the door, Zhou Wen was waiting for him to see what tricks he had up his sleeve. He never expected the person to knock on the door a few times.
"Who is it?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised as he asked after some thought.
The person outside said, "Zhou Wen, I'm here to snitch. You have to be careful along the way. Someone wants your life, and it's not just one family."
"Who wants my life?" Zhou Wen asked.
"You should know the Dugu family and the Zhang family of the Federation's six families, right? The Dugu family's Dugu Ge and the Zhang family's Zhang Chunqiu want your life," the person outside answered.
"I have no grudge with them. Why do they want my life?" Zhou Wen asked again.
This time, the person outside the door did not answer. Instead, he asked, "You should be going to the capital, right?"
"What does where I go have to do with them wanting to kill me?" Zhou Wen didn't quite believe the person in front of him. This person looked problematic.
"They don't want you to enter the imperial capital alive," the person outside the door said.
"Why?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Don't worry about why. In short, be careful," the person said as he prepared to leave.
"Who are you? Why are you telling me this? "Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
"You can call me someone with a heart," the man said firmly and turned to go downstairs.
If it wasn't for his tattered clothes and charred hair, he would have looked rather cool.
Zhou Wen found the name Intentional a little familiar. After a while, he recalled that Intentional was a codename often used in elementary school essays.
Who is this person? Zhou Wen frowned inwardly.
He naturally didn't completely believe this person's words, but from the looks of it, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
Was he behind the television incident? Zhou Wen was a little unsure at that moment.
The television was still broadcasting, so Zhou Wen didn't care too much. He decided to sleep and wait for the rain to stop. After all, he was definitely heading to the imperial capital. He would deal with whatever came his way. It was useless to worry.
Not long after he fell asleep, Zhou Wen heard someone enter the hotel. Deng!
Deng! Deng!
After the person entered the hotel, he didn't even take a sniff. He went straight to the second floor and ran towards Zhou Wen's room.
His style was similar to the person from before. He was also dressed in tattered clothes and his hair was charred black. However, it was obvious that they weren't the same person. This person was slightly taller.
Could it be that the person in question is here? As Zhou Wen was thinking, the person had already arrived at the door. He actually raised his hand and knocked.
"Who is it?" Zhou Wen asked patiently.
"Are you Zhou Wen?" the person at the door asked.
"I'm Zhou Wen. Who are you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I'm just a nobody. If you're happy, you can call me Nameless. I'm here to tell you that someone wants to harm you on your way to the imperial capital. You have to be careful, "the person outside said.
"Who wants to harm me?" Zhou Wen found the matter odd as he asked calmly.
"It's Dugu Ge of the Dugu family and Zhang Chunqiu of the Zhang family. You have to be careful of the two of them." The person outside said the same thing as the person who had just come.
"Who are you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"There's no need to know each other. Let's meet again if fate wills it." With that said, the person went downstairs.
