Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 34 Two Worlds

34: Chapter 34 Two Worlds

34 -34 Two Worlds

The sun had long since risen, Wen Wen climbed out of bed, having harvested nothing in the old city district last night.

He came home in the morning and slept soundly, and with his vampire constitution, his energy recovery rate was extraordinary, needing only around two hours of sleep to be brimming with energy again.

After getting up, he turned on his computer and started checking the recent cases in Furong River City on a detective website.

Supernatural cases aren’t always filled with strangeness and mystery; many cases that appear quite ordinary might also be plagued by supernatural powers.

After browsing for a while, a case that occurred just yesterday caught Wen Wen’s attention.

Li Shuyue was well-regarded among his colleagues at work, and he had a harmonious relationship with his neighbors.

He was a good husband and a caring father.

However, yesterday, he didn’t show up for work all day, and after returning home at night, he first pressed a scalding hot iron pot onto his wife’s face, then sewed his son’s mouth shut with needle and thread.

After doing all this, he even managed to sleep comfortably at home.

If it weren’t for a neighbor who hadn’t locked their door tight and heard the screams.

Through a crack in the door, they witnessed the horrific scene and promptly called the police, the mother and son might have missed their chance at timely treatment.

The arrest process was also exceptionally difficult.

It took five or six strong police officers to barely restrain the slight figure of Li Shuyue, and during the process, two officers got injured.

Now, this bank clerk named Li Shuyue is in the detention center of the Furong River City police station, waiting for legal judgment.

After understanding the whole situation, Wen Wen clicked open two extremely gruesome pictures, observing them attentively.

Unlike normal people who can’t bear to look at such pictures, Wen Wen examined them very seriously, from the extent of the burn on the woman’s face to the number of puncture holes on the little boy’s lips.

He let not a single detail slip by.

From those details, he could roughly deduce the offender’s state while inflicting violence.

“Clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation or excessive excitement, as if…

he was doing something very ordinary,”

“That madwoman with the surname Gu mentioned that the characteristic of the ‘Loss Virus’ is…”

Wen Wen donned his black trench coat, grabbed his gear, took a look in the mirror to tidy up, and used some small props to make himself look more cheerful.

However, the gloomy temperament ingrained in his bones couldn’t be erased completely.

He was on his way to the police station to observe Li Shuyue up close, in order to determine if he was infected with the Loss Virus.

Appearing as a bad guy would make moving around in the police station rather inconvenient.

Normally, he would be expected to visit the victims, but since the offender had already been caught, there was no need to expend pointless effort.

“Regardless of whether this Li Shuyue is someone infected with the Loss Virus or just a plain pervert, I should personally visit the police station to check it out, and while I’m there, look into the recent cases to see if there’s anything fishy,”

While the detective website is an internal site for detectives, it’s not exclusively used by them.

Some police officers, lawyers, and anyone interested in the field often upload intriguing cases here.

Therefore, the cases here are generally quite challenging or peculiar.

Common cases like robberies and thefts are rarely posted, so to obtain more detailed information, it would be better to visit the police station.

Sitting in the taxi, Wen Wen stroked his chin and furrowed his brows in contemplation, though not about the case.

“Maybe I should consider buying a car.

Always taking cabs isn’t really ideal…”

“I’ve been working with the Hunters Association lately, got myself quite a few hefty payments, and once they release Wilson back, I should be able to get a good sum of money, enough to buy a car that catches my eye.”

…

In the police reception room, Wen Wen handed over his detective badge and the credentials given to him by the Hunters Association to the reception desk officer and stated his request.

During the wait, Wen Wen thought again of the two victims in this case.

The harm that the mother and son had suffered, even if it didn’t threaten their lives, would at least disfigure them, and the psychological damage it caused to the child was incurable.

Wen Wen had no intention of helping the mother and son.

In his line of work, he had seen too many victims, and it was impossible to help every single one, and he also didn’t know how to best help others.

He became a detective in search of thrills, and hunted monsters to gain more powerful abilities.

His goal had always been clear, so from the very beginning, he knew that all he needed to do was what he was supposed to do, which used to be capturing criminals and was now hunting monsters.

Wen Wen was just somewhat reflective.

If Li Shuyue really committed those acts under the influence of the Calamity virus, then among the many cases he had dealt with before, were there others influenced by supernatural beings?

Originally, he thought that superpower users and ordinary people lived in completely different worlds, unrelated to each other.

Now it seems that the connection between the two worlds is much tighter than he imagined—a minor conflict in the world of superpower users could spell disaster for a family in the ordinary world.

The most terrifying part is that ordinary people are completely unaware of it.

If they encounter a supernatural case, they can only silently endure!

They are like sheep in a pen, living carefree lives, seemingly in a safe world, but never knowing when they might be taken away to be slaughtered for meat, and the rest of the sheep wouldn’t even care about one missing.

If someone becomes a victim, those with a wide circle of friends would be disguised by the Hunters Association as natural deaths, while those less known might not even leave a trace they ever existed!

Thinking back, Wen Wen realizes that being chosen by the Catastrophe Containment Facility was simply a matter of luck.

“Detective Wen, please follow me,” a young officer interrupted Wen Wen’s thoughts and led him to the interrogation room, where Li Shuyue was currently being interrogated by two young officers.

Outside the interrogation room, Wen Wen saw a familiar figure, Gu Panxi, dressed in a full set of women’s police uniform.

“What are you doing here?” By now, Wen Wen was no longer surprised to see her in a police uniform. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“I had Ding Mingguang keep an eye on every police station in Furong River City.

Any case suspected of being caused by the Calamity virus had to be sent to me for review, so it’s normal for me to be here.

But I’m surprised to see you here,” Gu Panxi said with a shrug.

“I’m just here to complete the task you gave me.

Seeing you here too, I knew my guess was pretty much correct.”

Wen Wen observed Li Shuyue through the one-way glass in the interrogation room.

He was bound and locked to an iron chair, his face twisted, occasionally shaking violently, startling the interrogating officers.

That hysterical madness was definitely not feigned; Wen Wen, who always considered himself a pervert, felt like a minor witch compared to the current Li Shuyue, who was more like a grand sorcerer.
