Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 257 Clarifying Relationships

After handing over Liu Shang and the townspeople of this town, Wen Wen found San Zai'er and left Spectrum Town.

If it weren't for Liu Shang being alive, and those brainwashed townspeople, Wen Wen's rashly initiating a dispute with the Glory Church would have landed him in trouble even if he wasn't punished.

But once it was confirmed that the Glory Church was causing trouble, Wen Wen would be blameless and even receive merit.

And the Hunter Association had always been fair in rewards and punishments, so after this matter was settled, the rewards would be transferred to his account.

It was a pity that the Hunter Association people arrived too quickly; otherwise, Wen Wen would have liked to skim some benefits from the town, as he had essentially saved the lives of these townspeople.

Within the superhuman society of the entire Federation, the Hunter Association had always held an absolute hegemonic position. As long as they had the moral high ground, there was no need for compromise.

To every demon hunter, secret organizations were merely rats hiding in the gutters. If they dared to jump out of the gutters, they would be crushed to death by the Hunter Association's wheels.

If all the secret organizations in the Federation could gather together and make a move against the Hunter Association, then perhaps they could cause some trouble for the Hunter Association.

But to get these organizations with extremely different ideologies to gather together would be more difficult than asking them to willingly submit to execution.

In the end, the Hunter Association's main enemies were never these secret organizations, but the unpredictable 'Inner World,' and the monsters that were constantly peeking into reality.

Therefore, Wen Wen had no interest in participating in the factional disputes of the Glory Church. Whether he could gain any benefits was uncertain, but getting into trouble was almost a certainty.

So Wen Wen decided to quickly deliver that letter to Father Liu Danfeng, get rid of this hot potato, then disguise himself and disappear from Qianhe City, focusing on what he wanted to do.

Having made his decision, Wen Wen wasted no time and drove to Qianhe City overnight.

Of course, it wasn't Wen Wen driving, but San Zai'er. Wen Wen slept in the car.

The next morning, the car entered the territory of Qianhe City. Wen Wen immediately instructed San Zai'er to drive the car to a deserted corner and then put the car into the containment facility.

From the moment he entered this city, Wen Wen did not intend to brazenly use his identity, as it would easily attract the attention of people from the Glory Church.

Although he wasn't afraid of them, having mosquitoes buzzing around constantly was also very annoying.

After all, the bishop mentioned by Liu Shang lived in Qianhe City.

He activated the abilities of his cap, transforming it into a dark brown felt hat. His black long coat became a dark brown overcoat, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with round lenses. He also had a slightly blackened pipe stem in his mouth.

It was already late autumn, and Wen Wen's attire was normal in Qianhe City, so he didn't attract any attention.

Father Liu Danfeng did not live in the Qianhe City Cathedral, but in an ordinary residential complex. As soon as Wen Wen entered the complex, he detected someone watching from the shadows, but they were just two ordinary people, so he didn't pay much attention.

The Glory Church's manpower was not yet sufficient to use superhumans to monitor others, and the people doing the monitoring were not professionals either.

The address Yan Xiu gave Wen Wen was Building 3, Unit 900 in this complex, but he didn't mention which unit, and Building 3 seemed to only have eight floors.

Wen Wen scratched his head, entered through Unit 1, and reached the eighth floor where there was no further path: "A priest, living in such a mysterious place."

Before Wen Wen could study it further, a door suddenly appeared on a wall on the eighth floor, with a staircase leading upwards in front of it.

"Tsk, there really is a ninth floor."

Wen Wen shrugged and walked up the stairs.

The reason he dared to go up directly was first, his trust that Yan Xiu's teacher would have no reason to harm him, and second, because of the existence of the containment facility, even if he stepped into a dragon's den, it wouldn't be a dead end.

As Wen Wen grew stronger, he no longer needed to be as calculating and timid as he was at the beginning. In the world of superhumans, he was no longer a weakling without the power to resist.

Therefore, since leaving Furong River City, he had not deliberately concealed his use of abilities.

When his strength was weak, some extraordinary abilities would bring him misfortune.

But when he became powerful, those abilities would only earn him more respect!

However, he still needed to be cautious; Wen Wen did not want to capsize in the gutter.

Walking up the stairs, Wen Wen's eyes lit up. The rooftop was a small garden, with trees, flowers, a small fountain, and even a two-story attic.

"You must be the Wen Detective that Yan Xiu mentioned on the phone to deliver a letter for me. I am Liu Danfeng. You are indeed as distinguished as A Xiu said." An old man wearing a wool vest and glasses walked up to Wen Wen and said with a smile.

Among the people from the Glory Church that Wen Wen had met, Liu Danfeng was the most polite, making a good impression at first glance.

However, Wen Wen did not respond. Instead, he pointed to the garden and asked, "Did you do all this?"

Father Liu smiled and said that besides the disciples he personally taught, these flowers and plants were his proudest creations.

"Every blade of grass, every brick, every tile was made by me personally. Everyone who has visited here has marveled at it. Just look at that orchid, I..."

After politely listening to the old man finish, Wen Wen said with a dampening effect, "Did you apply to the municipal department for building on the rooftop? Will the construction of so many things affect the load-bearing capacity of the building? Will the plant roots damage the bricks and tiles on the rooftop..."

The veins on the temples of the gentle and amiable old priest began to bulge after hearing Wen Wen's words.

If Wen Wen were not a demon hunter friendly with his disciple, he might have even left in a huff.

"This is the letter Yan Xiu asked me to give you. I haven't read it, but I have a question. You and Yan Xiu can talk on the phone, so why do you need me to deliver a letter?"

Liu Danfeng said with slightly cooled emotions, "Some things cannot be explained over the phone."

Wen Wen's barrage of questions had made him unable to be enthusiastic about Wen Wen.

"In that case, I won't disturb you with important matters." Wen Wen smiled slightly and then turned to leave.

Wen Wen's decisiveness left Liu Danfeng somewhat flustered. He had originally intended to win over this demon hunter, but why did this demon hunter come, spew nonsense, and then leave immediately?

He didn't play by the rules!

After standing stunned for a moment, Father Liu Danfeng chuckled.

Yan Xiu wouldn't find an idiot to deliver a letter, so Wen Wen's attitude was likely an intentional act to alienate him and distance himself, so as not to cause him further trouble.

"It's as if I'm some sort of fierce beast. Young people nowadays have no sense of responsibility..."
