Catastrophe Containment Facility

Falling asleep is not unusual; everyone falls asleep.

But not being able to wake up no matter what is strange, which reminded Wen Wen of the sleepers he encountered in Arkham City before. The Black Night Knight is also studying this case, so clearly, this sleep is not simple.

Wen Wen's face darkened. He said he would rescue Delia, but now that she's back, what's the deal with her being constantly asleep?

Moreover, what concerned Wen Wen more was that Delia spent most of her time under his watch. Now that Delia has been hit, it at least means that thing has the capability to act right under Wen Wen's nose.

If such a thing is not restricted, sooner or later it will lead to bigger issues.

He put Delia back into the Sanctuary and said to Jin Kela, "You handle things here; I have other matters to attend to."

After saying that, Wen Wen directly left the Sanctuary. He wanted to see what this inexplicable sleep was all about.

Jin Kela watched Wen Wen's departing figure, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

He went to the entrance of the Sanctuary, sat on the steps, and looked at the sun in the sky, smiling more brilliantly.

The first time he met Wen Wen, he didn't think Wen Wen was anything special; he even thought Wen Wen seemed unreliable.

But later, Wen Wen kept recruiting Containment Officers, restoring the Sanctuary to its current state, even gathering the Sanctuary's previously lost items, which changed his view of Wen Wen a bit.

Now that Wen Wen has recovered Jin Kela's former Temple, Jin Kela was a bit touched. Under Wen Wen's lead, the Sanctuary might possibly return to its original state.

"All of this, thank you."

...

Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling were walking arm in arm, shopping in the commercial street of Nuiz City.

Primarily, it was Tao Qingqing holding onto Hu Youling, seemingly close but in reality, at odds.

Behind them were several attentive men carrying a pile of shopping bags for them.

These people were Hu Youling's admirers, utterly captivated after seeing Hu Youling. Although Hu Youling didn't actively ask them to carry things, they were happy to assume the role of a tool.

"Even though I know it's because the Great Devil Wen drained her desires, seeing her like this with no wants, I still find it irksome—I really want to see her messed up..."

In Tao Qingqing's mind were rather unhealthy thoughts, often shared with Hu Youling when they were together.

Wen Wen said to let them catch the Monster in Nuiz City, but running into the Monster wasn't that simple, so they chose this way of leaving it to chance; perhaps a Monster would present itself.

Even without those desires, Hu Youling still loved beauty, so she couldn't resist when seeing a women's clothing store.

She dragged Tao Qingqing into the store, letting Tao Qingqing wait outside while she went in to try on clothes.

The fitting room door in this store was somewhat indecently designed—it wasn't transparent but did cast faint shadows outside.

Those admirers watched the hazy shadows, fantasizing about the scene inside, which made Tao Qingqing feel a little sick.

The Three Cubs, always perched on Hu Youling, followed her into the dressing room and lay bored on the chair.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, standing up abruptly, alertly watching its surroundings.

The shadow of the Three Cubs merging with Hu Youling's shadow made the admirers outside shiver.

They glanced at one another, speaking to Tao Qingqing waiting outside, "Um, we have something to do, so we'll head off first."

Saying that, they placed the bags on the ground and quickly vanished into the crowd.

Tao Qingqing looked at the fitting room and burst into laughter, bent over, unable to straighten up from laughing.

Hu Youling selected the clothes she wanted, and upon coming out, she noticed all the admirers had disappeared. Seeing Tao Qingqing grinning, she tilted her head in confusion, making both Tao Qingqing and the store clerks pause.

Foxes, such creatures, have beauty that is irresistible to both men and women, apart from perverts like Wen Wen. Normally, few can resist their allure.

The Three Cubs climbed out, hissing at the two women, whose expressions immediately turned serious, then simultaneously turned into frowny faces.

Its actions indicated sensing the presence of a Monster, also signifying the two women should end their shopping and go Monster hunting.

The two took their shopping bags to a secluded spot, stowed them in their personal Space Ring, and the Three Cubs took the lead in starting the Monster chase.

...

"Boss, let's go do something big."

In the suburbs of Nuiz City, nine figures were gathered in a chaotic bar.

"We are immortals after all. Doing petty theft every day is so degrading," said Qing Jiu, a man with an ashen face.

Tu Ba, with yellowing skin, continued, "Stealing batteries, snatching wallets, tricking old ladies—this is not the life for immortals."

"Indeed, as immortals, we should do something earth-shattering," added Purple Seven, as dark as charcoal.

"What counts as something earth-shattering?" A keen-eyed woman sitting in the center took interest in her three brothers' words.

Xia Si, holding a drink, chuckled slyly, "Something big, of course... killing!"

At the mention of 'killing,' all nine people fell silent; their faces first showed fear, then excitement.

Many visitors from the Inner World are quite bloodthirsty, either out of habit or need.

But these nine don't have the urge to kill, nor is it a habit. They can live quite well by petty theft in the real world.

But they feel there's no face in this; not killing is considered unusual in the Monster circle. They don't want to be the odd ones out, so they want to kill for fun.

Yes, for them, killing is just for fun.

They are not human and naturally don't have any feelings for human life, much like humans don't empathize with livestock like chickens and ducks.

"But if we do this, the Hunters Association won't cause us trouble. Once we really kill..." Bei Liu hesitated.

"We're not going to kill often, just once for the experience, and we'll make sure the Hunters Association doesn't find out," Xie Wu scoffed.

Seeing consensus among his brothers and sisters, the petite and cute An San took out a photo from her pocket. The photo showed a small villa in the suburbs, with a pale, frail-looking man standing at the door.

"I've been observing this guy for a few days. He lives alone in the suburbs, is very weak, and rarely interacts with others. Even if we kill him, no one would notice for a while."

"Then our target is him!"

The keen-eyed woman Huang Yi placed her hand on the photo, setting a target for them.
