Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 50 Madness from Afar

50: Chapter 50 Madness from Afar

50 -50 Madness from Afar

“With all the abilities I have now, there’s no way to attack this guy, so I must use some unexpected methods…”

“This guy’s moving speed isn’t very fast; perhaps it’s just because of some physical peculiarity that it can easily dodge my attacks…”

“It doesn’t attack me, maybe not because it doesn’t want to, but because it can’t…”

As Wen Wen maintained a high frequency of attacks, he thought about ways to escape the predicament.

After making up his mind, he turned and ran!

“If it can’t catch up with me, then I’ll just run away like this; if it can catch me up…”

Wen Wen’s speed was already extremely fast, but the shadow was not slow either.

It stuck close behind Wen Wen, unable to catch up with him, but he also couldn’t shake it off.

“As expected, it’s not going to end this easily…”

Wen Wen abruptly stopped, his dress shoes dragging a long mark on the ground as he stopped at high speed, then turned around and snapped his fingers with his right hand, spraying a stream of green acid toward the black figure.

The person ahead suddenly stopped, causing the black figure to almost crash, unable to avoid the acid that was sprayed toward it.

However, it didn’t panic; its purely black body split open like smoke, and the acid sprayed out through the cracks without touching it at all.

“Such clumsy attacks cannot touch me…

You still…”

Suddenly, the black figure’s mouth widened, because Wen Wen unexpectedly spread his left hand’s fingers and blocked the trajectory of the acid!

Meeting the obstruction of the palm, the acid sprayed toward the black figure like a showerhead, the dense acid leaving it no way to twist away from the range of the acid’s coverage!

Raindrop-like acid fell on the black figure, emitting a hissing white smoke as it began to corrode!

The black skin was corroded away, revealing an inside that was hollow.

It had nothing inside its body, just pitch black.

“I’ve been careless…

To defeat me, at the price of one of your own hands, you indeed are mad enough.”

“This time you may have won, but when we meet next time, it will be very interesting.

You wait for me.”

Having said that, the black figure directly dissipated into smoke and vanished into the air, leaving not a trace behind.

When it lost its ability to resist, Wen Wen tried to drag it into the Sanctuary, but the Sanctuary had no reaction to it!

Although the black figure couldn’t attack, according to Wen Wen’s experience, its strength was definitely not weak enough for the Sanctuary to have no reaction, so there was only one answer: he hadn’t subdued the black figure yet!

“This is truly fucking absurd!”

Wen Wen looked up at the sky, his mood that had just started to improve now turning even worse.

At this moment, only the bare bones of his left palm remained.

Although the acid was released by him, he was not immune to it.

To defeat the black figure, Wen Wen had to sacrifice one of his hands.

Fortunately, perhaps because the nerves had also been numbed, the pain wasn’t too apparent.

He raised his arm, using a dagger to cut away all the flesh that was contaminated with acid.

Throughout the process though the pain made him grit his teeth, the hand wielding the knife didn’t tremble at all.

After there was no more acid residue on his hand, flesh buds began to regenerate at a rate visible to the eye.

With some recovery time, his hand would be restored to its original state.

“I’m still too weak; I should be a Hunter, not a salted fish who only shouts and cheers and occasionally picks up the scraps.

I must find a way to become stronger!”

The words left behind by the black figure before it disappeared gave Wen Wen a great sense of crisis.

He had a feeling that when it appeared in front of him again, it wouldn’t be as easy to deal with as it was now.

“What exactly is its purpose…

Just to make me fall?”

…

Having arrived home, Wen Wen plopped down on the sofa, too lazy to tidy up the disarray.

His mind was in turmoil; Uncle Gong’s attack and the appearance of the black figure had completely disrupted his once tranquil state of mind.

So he turned on his computer and started browsing the detective website, hoping to find something of interest happening in Furong River City that could distract him.

Then, a piece of news caught his eye.

Furong River City Police cracked a shocking case: fifteen victims murdered just for their wealth! frёewebnoѵēl.com

Taxi driver Mr.

Wu had, over the course of several months, killed passengers and taken their valuables, burying the bodies under the trees in a park near an automobile factory’s residential building.

Fifteen bodies have been found so far, with families having come to claim them…

The nature of this case was extremely heinous, and the circumstances were very grave.

The killer Mr.

Wu made no secret of his crime; Furong River City’s court sentenced him to death at first trial…

Families of the fifteen victims joined together to present a silk banner to the Furong River City Police, while also expressing their gratitude to Mr.

Wen for providing crucial clues…

“Is this how the Hunters Association handles things…

Plus with memory erasure and information lockdown, with so many incidents happening every day, who can truly discern which are the doings of monsters and which are human acts?”

After reading this news, Wen Wen felt much relieved; at least everything he had done was meaningful.

“But then again, where did that unfortunate Mr.

Wu come from?”

Just as Wen Wen was about to close the news to look at something else, a pop-up advertisement appeared on his computer.

“In half a month, the ten-year anniversary celebration of Furong River Amusement Park will be held, with a multitude of events waiting for you to join…

I’m not a kid, why recommend this stuff to me, freaking annoying!”

Computers nowadays just like this, always displaying weird and utterly irritating advertisements, and Wen Wen was too lazy to deal with them…

…

The curtains were half-open, allowing the cold moonlight to illuminate the room where a man with an indistinguishable face sat in a chair, twirling a goblet filled with red wine in his hand.

The room’s ceiling appeared to be leaking as drips of water occasionally fell to the floor, but the man did not bother fixing it, seemingly enjoying the rhythmic tap-tap sound as a form of pleasure.

“It’s been destroyed, tsk, what a pity…

But although it cost me quite a bit of effort, it was just a toy after all…

Hehe, Wen Wen…

Are you someone like me?

I will come to see you.”

“But that’s for later.

Right now, we should discuss the issue between us.

I really don’t like you.”

The man stood up and looked up at the ceiling.

To his surprise, a plump middle-aged woman was lying on the ceiling!

The woman’s body was pierced by several steel piercers, nailing her to the rooftop, and the dripping from the ceiling wasn’t water; it was blood!

With a pleading look in her eyes, the woman gazed at the man.

She had not provoked him, didn’t even know him; why would he do this to her?

Right, her mouth had been sealed shut, unable to open.

“That article you wrote on the internet, the one many people agreed with, I really disliked it.

Initially, I thought you were a proud and beautiful woman, but seeing what you really look like, I dislike you even more.

So, you might as well rot here,”

The man waved at the woman and left the room, leaving the helpless woman fixed to the ceiling.

He did all this merely because he found it amusing.

As for a purpose?

He had none!
