Chapter 1131: Arkham City
Under the warm sunlight, Wen Wen walked with Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling on the streets of Arkham City in the U.S.-Canada District.
It was their first time in the U.S.-Canada District, so they found it quite novel.
Unlike the Capital District with mostly yellow-skinned people and the Golden Eagle District with mostly white-skinned people, the U.S.-Canada District gave a feeling of a great integration of races.
The city's infrastructure here is slightly better than in the Capital, and the commerce is even more prosperous.
However, beneath the prosperous surface, the U.S.-Canada District has deeply hidden social conflicts, something evident to anyone who has lived here.
Before being unified by the Federation, the U.S.-Canada District was in a state of hostility among different races. After being subdued by the Federation's military force, the races superficially coexisted peacefully.
But these conflicts between people were irrelevant to Wen Wen and the others; in fact, Wen Wen even found them somewhat laughable.
In fact, due to the incomplete process of the initial unification, there are numerous leftover issues in districts other than the Capital.
But often, the source of these problems is deeply rooted prejudice and ignorance.
If this world only had humans, it might be understandable, but to do so under the threat of the Inner World is truly foolish.
Perhaps only when other intelligent beings regard humans as pigs would they abandon such ridiculous notions.
No, they needn't wait that long, the Hunter Association has now selected a city in each major global district to conduct New Human experiments.
Once the experiment proves that New Humans are completely harmless, the original concept of race in the real world will be eliminated one by one, leaving only the New Human race.
Wen Wen was not opposed to New Humans and even somewhat looked forward to them.
After wandering on the street for a while, Wen Wen suddenly brightened up and turned into a side street.
After walking a few hundred meters, the three of them saw an ugly old woman huddling beside a trash can, holding a small sign and begging.
The old woman's face was covered in bruises, indicating she had been bullied a lot.
In the environment of the U.S.-Canada District, this old woman was at the lowest rung of society, and there were even people who took pleasure in bullying people like her.
"You've been here for quite a while, right? How does it feel?"
Upon hearing Wen Wen's voice, the old woman opened her eyes wide and tried to hug Wen Wen's leg, only to be kicked into the trash can by Wen Wen.
Passersby on the street looked at Wen Wen in astonishment; even if this homeless old woman was at the lowest social rung, bullying her on the street was too much.
Someone took out a phone to call the police, but Hu Youling gave them a smile. Her charm was lethal to both men and women, and under deliberate seduction, the people on the street gave up on reporting to the police.
"Let me go back, I want to go to jail, I don't want to stay in this place, I beg of you..." The old woman cried, her tears streaming, a pitiful sight that moved those who heard and saw her to tears.
She was none other than Demoness Ollie!
The once seductive and evil demon had long since disappeared, leaving behind only a humiliated old woman.
Sending her here was Wen Wen's punishment for her, even dispatching people to specifically intervene to bring her to the most miserable state.
Her strength had been transferred into a black feather cloak, and as long as that cloak remained intact, with her current frail state as an old woman, she couldn't even manage suicide.
Wen Wen didn't tend to torture many monsters like this, but Ollie was one of them. She was a demon chauvinist, and capturing her was sickening enough for Wen Wen that he came up with this way to torment her.
"I'm very satisfied with your current state, so just keep living like this until you adapt to such a life."
"Maybe someday, I'll suddenly develop compassion and bring you back to prison, just wait for it."
After taunting Ollie, Wen Wen whistled and walked away.
Ollie was now very miserable, extremely miserable.
But compared to the innocent ones she harmed, this fate was almost too kind.
Monsters committing evil acts vary in circumstances; some monsters, though bad, Wen Wen could give a chance to reform, while others, though unforgivable, Wen Wen wouldn't torture, but some...
Should be unable to live and unable to die!
Ollie's miserable state made Wen Wen very happy, so he decided to maintain this cheerful state to go see the Black Night Knight.
On the way, Wen Wen and his two companions saw a block being sealed off, and two sleeping people were being carried out on stretchers.
"These should be supporters of the U.S.-Canada District. Those two seem a bit odd, probably asleep..."
Wen Wen shook his head, not following up to check. Ever since sweeping away all monsters around Qianhe City, he lost interest in ordinary superpower events.
Analyzing layer by layer, only to end up with a weakling easily crushed with one hand was simply too boring.
The boredom was comparable to an old fishing enthusiast working all day, only to steal a couple of sweet potatoes by the roadside on his way back. It would be more comfortable to spend two hours lying in the Rabbit Massage Parlor.
He wanted to engage in something thrilling, but those things were hard to come by.
The name of Arkham City, in ancient U.S.-Canada District language, means a place full of talented individuals of extraordinary abilities.
This city was once home to many powerful monsters or fugitives, who were very formidable and cunning.
There was an anti-social lunatic deeply in love with the local tycoon; a terrifying penguin who resented their height and thus attacked all students above the fourth grade; the Six-faced Man whose head was a Magic Cube, with its six faces representing male, female, good, evil, madness, and rationality...
The leader of the local Demon Hunter organization, Xin Ligoden, was so busy that he couldn't catch these guys even if his hair fell out.
Fortunately, there was a mysterious Vigilante in Arkham, who constantly tangled with these troublesome individuals.
The battles between the Vigilante and the monsters were very exciting, and many even became case studies in the Hunters Association, used as classic cases.
However, as the Vigilante grew stronger, all these monsters were permanently eliminated, making Arkham City the safest city in the entire U.S.-Canada District.
This somewhat disappointed Wen Wen, as he thought some of those monsters were quite interesting and would be fun to capture and put in the Sanctuary.
Initially, Wen Wen thought the Black Night Knight's hidden lair would be an underground eerie cave, but it turned out the place was quite ostentatious.
In the most bustling area of Arkham, on an expensive piece of land, stood a skyscraper, adorned with the words 'Black Night Knight' written in Federation Common Language.
This place had almost become a symbol of Arkham's cityscape.
However, because of this, no monster really thought this place was the Black Night Knight's lair; they merely assumed the large letters on top were a coincidence...
The elevator didn't go up but moved diagonally downward for a while before stopping in an enormous space.
