On the battlefield, disfigured by a bombardment of bombs, poker soldiers were cleaning up the aftermath. A man in a black robe looked at the wreckage with a grim expression, stamping his foot furiously and saying, "Find him. Whoever did this, I will make them pay the price!"
A faint white light emanated from the unicorn, and the princess seated upon it covered her nose and mouth, not wanting to smell the scent of gunpowder.
"Little Red Riding Hood was a disaster-level expert, how could she be so easily killed by an outsider, leaving no corpse behind."
Since she hadn't sensed Little Red Riding Hood's presence, and it wasn't easy to leave this place, she preemptively assumed Little Red Riding Hood had been killed.
The man said sinisterly, "I don't know what happened, but it's clear that it was done by that roaming hunter called 'Pervert.' I've already given the order, and the entire town is to hunt down that pervert. Anyone who finds him can kill him!"
"Then I hope you can do it quickly. I want to see his corpse soon!"
The princess said with some sadness. In Fairytale Town, Little Red Riding Hood was one of her few friends...
Then she glanced at the man from the corner of her eye and found that he was still consumed by anger, which dispelled her suspicion. Although this guy did everything for them, she always felt that he had ulterior motives.
After the princess left, the man's angry expression calmed down, and a hint of mockery touched his lips.
Little Red Riding Hood was dead, and her death meant nothing to him. The angry expression was just to appease the 'princess.'
As long as his plan proceeded smoothly, the more high-level monsters in this town died, the better. He wasn't on the same page as those guys anyway.
However, the 'royal' family of Fairytale Town was very strong, so he could only feign cooperation with them.
"Rage, rage. The more exciting the prelude, the more it highlights the greatness of the finale."
"I'm very curious, what will all of your expressions be when the change happens."
...
Tao Wen gradually regained consciousness. Upon seeing Li Dazhuang, he showed a delighted expression. The time he spent as a poker soldier was truly his most terrifying memory.
Then he looked at Wen Wen and said in surprise, "You're that pervert!"
"But thank you for saving us at Furong River Paradise. You probably saved us this time too. Thank you."
Wen Wen nodded, then suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Tao Wen in surprise and said, "Wait, you know me?"
"Of course I know you. If it weren't for you at Furong River Paradise, we would have died." Tao Wen said as a matter of course.
Wen Wen frowned. It was normal for Li Dazhuang to regain his memory, but it was truly unexpected for Tao Wen to regain his memory, as he was just an ordinary person.
"Did those insects make the memory eraser ineffective? That's possible. I'll try again."
So Wen Wen took out the memory eraser and pressed it against Tao Wen's eyes. A flash of light passed, and Tao Wen's eyes became momentarily dazed.
"You've never seen me before. This is your first time meeting me. You have to forget me..."
After speaking, Wen Wen looked at Tao Wen expectantly, waiting for his reaction.
This was the first time he had used the memory eraser. If Li Dazhuang wasn't watching, Wen Wen might have even planted some interesting things in Tao Wen's mind.
But to Wen Wen's surprise, Tao Wen's memory didn't seem to have been deleted. Moreover, the momentary daze was more like his eyes were blinded by the eraser's light.
And the way he looked at Wen Wen actually held a hint of pity. Being a pervert was already pitiful enough, and he was also an idiot...
"It's no use? That shouldn't be the case. I've seen the tutorial, and my usage is correct... so it must be his own problem!"
Wen Wen sensed something and placed a hand on his shoulder, channeling his灵感 into his body to examine him carefully. He then looked at Tao Wen with surprise and uncertainty.
"Why is this happening? I've never seen a human like you before. What exactly are you now?"
In Wen Wen's eyes, Tao Wen was neither a super-powered person, nor a monster, nor an ordinary human!
His physical structure seemed to have subtle differences from ordinary people, yet there was no supernatural power within him, nor did he resemble a monster.
At most, he had slightly more strength than an ordinary person and slightly better intuition, and most importantly, he was immune to the effects of the memory eraser!
If Tao Wen was the only anomaly, it could be understood. But if everyone who had become a poker soldier had become like this, what exactly was Fairytale Town trying to do?
"Detective Wen, Tao Wen, he..." Seeing Wen Wen's expression, Li Dazhuang asked worriedly, not wanting his friend to be in trouble.
Wen Wen shook his head and said, "It's fine, at least for now."
Then, with a swift chop, he knocked out the recently awakened Tao Wen. Since Tao Wen's memory could no longer be altered, it was better for him not to know what would happen next.
"What are you doing?" Li Dazhuang was stunned and asked Wen Wen in confusion.
Wen Wen looked at Li Dazhuang solemnly and said, "Dazhuang, our conversation next is very important. You are not allowed to reveal it to anyone!"
Li Dazhuang swallowed and slowly nodded.
"Do you trust me?" Wen Wen asked, word by word.
"Of course, I trust you. If it weren't for you saving me so many times, I would have died in some forgotten corner long ago." Li Dazhuang replied to Wen Wen without hesitation.
Although Wen Wen seemed a bit scary and perverted, after saving Li Dazhuang several times, he had become the person Li Dazhuang trusted the most.
He had no way to repay Wen Wen for saving his life, let alone saving him multiple times.
As long as it didn't involve him dying, Li Dazhuang was willing to repay Wen Wen in any way.
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes, then asked gently, "Since you trust me, many things will be easier. I am a member of an organization, and I will introduce you to join my organization. Are you willing?"
That's right, Wen Wen decided to let Li Dazhuang join the containment facility immediately. He had to keep Li Dazhuang's abilities under his control.
Li Dazhuang thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I believe you won't harm me, so I'll join. But what is your organization..."
"Discover threats, contain threats, control threats, and maintain the balance between the inner and outer worlds. To put it plainly, it's to deal with these monsters!" Wen Wen smiled even more kindly, but he was meticulously observing Li Dazhuang's expression.
If Li Dazhuang had any thought of refusing, Wen Wen would immediately change his tune and say that his organization was the Hunter Association. Anyway, he spoke vaguely, and Li Dazhuang wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
If Li Dazhuang was willing to join, then Wen Wen would directly have him join the containment facility.
