Wen Wen thought back and forth and realized that the biggest beneficiary of Stein's deception technique was actually the Tings Hound.
Even if a Time Traveler used deception, they were destined to die, but the Tings Hound could bypass some rules by being deceived and directly attack ordinary people to absorb time.
The first time Wen Wen had encountered the Tings Hound, it appeared to be a brutal wild beast devoid of intelligence.
Back then, it had probably blocked its own intelligence, willingly being deceived by Stein to procure food and complete its slaughter.
Wen Wen looked at Stein with a cold laugh and said, "You think you're using the deception technique to prolong your life, but in reality, you are just a tool for the hound to get more food. The hound can kill you at any time if it desires, regardless of the deception."
