Seeing how capable they were and that they didn't need his help, Wen Wen excused himself to investigate hidden dangers and left the center of the town.
He found a secluded spot and released Li Dazhuang and the still unconscious Tao Wen.
"It's safe here now, the culprit has been dealt with. You just need to wait for the Hunter Association to arrive. They will invite you to join, don't refuse," Wen Wen said calmly.
"Did you resolve this matter?"
Li Dazhuang looked at Wen Wen with shining eyes. Having been saved by Wen Wen multiple times, he had become Wen Wen's devoted fan.
Wen Wen smiled without answering, neither refusing nor confirming. He left the two of them there and continued to wander around the town.
"If he didn't refuse, it must be that he resolved it. I want to become someone like Detective Wen too... Well, starting with being perverted!"
Watching Wen Wen's retreating back, Li Dazhuang's eyes were full of admiration, and then a smile similar to Wen Wen's appeared on his lips.
After smiling for a while, he frowned and rubbed his mouth, saying, "As expected of Detective Wen, even his smile is harder for others to imitate."
Wen Wen walked along the streets of Fairytale Town with his hands behind his back. Most of the town's residents had been gathered in the center by Song Ling, so many places were deserted.
"This monitor is nice, it's mine."
"This computer has good specs, it's mine."
"This heart-shaped pink big bed is very nice, it's mine too!"
"Tsk... this statue is quite sexy. I'll have Xu Hai make me a real one later..."
Anything that caught Wen Wen's eye, he would move into the containment facility. And there were many things that caught his eye in the vast Fairytale Town.
In addition to furniture, Wen Wen even took half of Fairytale Town's food warehouse. Although most of these ingredients might have problems, Wen Wen wasn't eating them himself; he was feeding them to monsters.
This place was about to be leveled by the association. Rather than letting the association seize these items and sell them cheaply, Wen Wen preferred to take them himself.
Hunter-gatherers already had the right to deal with their own spoils. Even if he was discovered looting here, no one would hold him accountable.
While happily scavenging, the sharp-eared and sharp-eyed Wen Wen heard some discordant sounds. He leaped onto a rooftop to observe the situation on the street opposite.
"Where did that bastard hide?" a slightly plump youth said angrily.
A young man with monster-like arms on his body smashed a rock and said, "We must find them. Before, when we were not in our right minds, he bullied us far too much. Now that we are powerful, we must find him and get revenge!"
"What displeases me the most is why everyone else can enjoy themselves here while we are controlled and forced to work like cattle for those monsters. Clearly, we single people are more pitiful than those couples." Then, a youth with a horse-like face chimed in.
After he finished speaking, he received the agreement of several others.
They were all humans trapped here. Why should the socially adept ones have feasts while they could only eat steamed buns? This preferential treatment caused extreme imbalance in their hearts.
While discussing angrily, they did not notice Wen Wen peeking from the shadows.
These were a group of poker soldiers. Like Tao Wen, they were originally controlled humans, but now that they had gained power through Song Ling's arrangements, that control had disappeared.
They had been ordered by Song Ling to maintain order here and bring anyone they found to the town center, which was why Wen Wen encountered them.
"It seems they want to get revenge on the monsters who bullied them before... I'll let them."
These youths searched the place upside down but found nothing, so they left in frustration.
Wen Wen also continued his scavenging. Suddenly, he stopped and looked curiously at a section of the floor.
Where the youths had just stepped, a strange thing emerged from the floor. The thing looked like a portrait.
After emerging from the ground, the portrait's body swelled, transforming into a figure wearing a poker uniform, but his skin suit was much more refined than that of the youths.
He was the manager of all the poker soldiers, the Poker General!
Before the incident in Fairytale Town, he was responsible for maintaining law and order, and he had a group of brainwashed poker soldiers under his command.
Although he was forbidden to kill, he was quite willing to torment his subordinates, which was why those youths were so badly tormented by him that they specifically came to seek revenge.
"Tsk, if I didn't want to attract attention and find an opportunity to sneak out, would I be afraid of you few losers finding me?" the Poker General said dismissively, looking in the direction the youths had left.
Even though the poker soldiers had gained power, and his own power had declined to a very low level, he could still easily overwhelm those soldiers.
After all, he had been a disaster-level monster before. Now, even though he had fallen to disaster-class, those guys could not easily bully him.
"You're not afraid of them finding you, but what about me?"
Wen Wen, like a ghost, landed behind him and asked curiously.
The high-ranking officials of Fairytale Town should have all been summoned to the center by Song Ling. Why was this guy hiding here by himself? Sudan Novel Network.
"Who, who..."
Hearing this voice, the Poker General, like a startled bird, nearly jumped in fright. After regaining his composure, he immediately threw several playing cards at Wen Wen.
These cards flew towards Wen Wen like darts, but Wen Wen slightly extended his hand, and a transparent light screen appeared before him, blocking all the cards.
"The power of these cards is stronger than ordinary bullets." Feeling the power of these cards, Wen Wen's eyes lit up.
Attacks slightly stronger than ordinary bullets were, for Wen Wen, just passable, offering little benefit.
However, their symbolic meaning far outweighed their practical significance. Wen Wen simply thought using playing cards as weapons was cool, so he instantly took a liking to the Poker General.
And for monsters, being favored by Wen Wen meant the advent of tragedy.
Wen Wen flashed and darted to the Poker General's side, punching towards his chest.
The Poker General used some unknown method to make his body slippery, deflecting some of the force from Wen Wen's punch.
But if it were his former self, he could have dodged Wen Wen's attack with this move. However, now he couldn't deflect all of Wen Wen's power and was directly sent flying.
While flying, his body suddenly became flat, shedding most of the force and allowing him to land steadily.
After landing, his body swelled back to its original shape, looking at Wen Wen with great fear.
He knew he was in trouble this time and hurriedly lunged towards a nearby room. He didn't open the door but drilled into the room through the gap in the door!
"Tsk, you've got some skills. You're really like a sow wearing a bra, a whole set of tricks."
