“Hello, Captain Lin, it’s me…”

“Detective Wen, I know it’s you, you’re the most diligent at calling me among all the freelance hunters,” Lin Zheyuan sighed, wondering what urgent matter had prompted the call this time.

“Oh, it’s like this, I killed a monster in a small park near the automobile factory’s family housing, and you need to come deal with it.”

“Another monster killed?”

Lin Zheyuan couldn’t help but raise his tone, considering Wen Wen’s operational efficiency, he might have received high-level rewards and better opportunities had he been in the Hunter Association.

Unfortunately, he was just a freelance hunter.

“Oh, and there are about a dozen bodies at the scene, probably people who disappeared recently.

If any family has issued a reward for finding someone, remember to deposit it into my account,” Wen Wen added.

“You’re not letting this kind of money go either?” Lin Zheyuan asked, astonished.

“If there were no rewards offered, that’s fine, but if there are, I can’t just not take the money.

I can’t afford to not charge when someone dies like your Hunter Association.

I would have starved to death a long time ago,” Wen Wen said, raising his eyebrows. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

“Alright, don’t worry, if there is any, you won’t miss a single cent.”

“Don’t embezzle it!” Wen Wen stressed.

Lin Zheyuan said helplessly, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Wen gathered his various equipment, took one more look at the bodies, then walked out of the park.

Telling the Hunters Association about this operation was inevitable for Wen Wen, as long as Lin Zheyuan was involved, Wen Wen couldn’t dissociate himself from this matter, so he might as well tell them directly.

Sitting back in the car, Wen Wen drove home.

Oh, by the way, you don’t yet know where this car came from.

After capturing the Scavenging Demon, Wen Wen, attracted by the large motorcycle belonging to Gu Panxi, deeply realized he lacked a means of transportation, so he did not hesitate any further and bought himself a car.

This was a black second-hand car, not expensive and just decent enough in performance.

After all, Wen Wen just needed something for transportation, not expecting to use it to escape anyone’s pursuit.

The car windows were fitted with a one-way transparent film, so entering the Catastrophe Containment Facility from inside the car wouldn’t worry about being seen, and Wen Wen could enter the facility from here if necessary.

After returning home, Wen Wen immediately went to the bathroom and entered the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

The Guile Tree Spirit was locked up in cell number Calamity-0004, next to the Scavenging Demon.

When Wen Wen entered, the female vampire and Ghostly Qin Shuang were as usual.

What surprised Wen Wen a bit was that the Scavenging Demon had eaten all the pig innards Wen Wen had thrown in there.

It seemed that even though it had turned into a puppet, the Scavenging Demon still went to eat, not letting itself starve to death.

This made Wen Wen quite relieved, as he did not need to worry about losing the Acid Spray ability.

However, cell number Calamity-0004 shocked Wen Wen, as the floor of this cell had turned into soil, allowing the Guile Tree Spirit to root itself there!

The previous cells housing monsters, although slightly different, at least hadn’t undergone any major changes.

But the appearance of soil in this cell was something Wen Wen found hard to understand.

He understood that each monster’s cell should be unique, and he knew the Catastrophe Containment facility possessed technology beyond reality, but conjuring soil out of thin air was not normal.

These monsters were incarcerated on a numerical basis, not prearranged, not even Wen Wen knew what kind of monsters he would capture.

Nor did Wen Wen see any intelligent robots or the like in the sanctuary, so where did this soil come from?

In any case, this made Wen Wen feel somewhat oppressed, as if the Catastrophe Containment Facility were a gigantic organism with its own will.

And Wen Wen was nourishing this massive organism by delivering the captured monsters, for which the organism would occasionally offer him a taste of sweetness.

After pondering for a long time, Wen Wen still hadn’t found an answer; within this sanctuary, there was too much he couldn’t understand, and he was powerless to change anything.

Life had to go on.

Before the final mystery was unveiled, whether the guess was good or bad, it made no difference.

Later, Wen Wen went to the Central Area and, following routine, tested the power brought to him by the Guile Tree Spirit.

As more monsters were captured, Wen Wen became much more adept at these tests.

Under the influence of the Tree Spirit, his movements slowed, but his defensive capability increased, his five senses all weaker than those of an average person, and even his thoughts slowed down.

Lastly, there was a unique function: he could control his body hair to attack enemies…

Wen Wen tried it out, and found that he could easily control his hair.

His short hair surged like a tide, bizarrely like a writhing mass of iron wireworms, with no other effects.

The strength of the hair was the same as before, not flying out to blind someone, nor growing longer to shield his body, and breaking a hair still hurt!

“Hmm… This Tree Spirit physique really has no use other than being comical.

Might as well lock it up in a cell as a mascot.”

Wen Wen unimpressed, passed on this ability, and then moved Calamity-0004 to a ring on his ring finger, realizing it was this Guile Tree Spirit’s ability.

The name of the ability was “Guile!”

With this ability, he could mimic any voice he had heard; the more vivid the memory, the more accurate the imitation, while voices he vaguely remembered were coarsely mimicked.

With a very familiar voice, he could perfectly imitate the tone, mood, and speaking habits, and it even carried a subtle persuasive power.

The reason Tao Wen and Li Dazhuang were so easily deceived by the Guile Tree Spirit previously was due to this ability; otherwise, they would never have so readily believed the old woman’s voice.

The Guile Tree Spirit had managed to hide in that park for so long by leveraging this ability, ensuring that its hunting wasn’t too frequent for the Hunters Association to catch on.

This ability was actually quite interesting, much more so than controlling hair.

One major reason why Wen Wen chose to become a detective was influenced by a cartoon called “Grim Reaper Elementary Student” from the Sakura District.

In that cartoon, the Grim Reaper Elementary Student had a gadget that could mimic others’ voices, which helped solve many troubles.

Now that Wen Wen had acquired this ability himself, he couldn’t help feeling excited; even if he stopped demon hunting, he could still make a living performing ventriloquism.

Thus, after finishing all the tests, Wen Wen immediately went out of the Catastrophe Containment Facility, turned on the TV, and prepared to mimic the people speaking there.

“Hello, everyone, I’m xxx, if you’re my brother, come and chop me…”

“Hello, everyone, I’m a solo trainee xxx, I like singing, dancing, rap, and basketball…”
