After he finished speaking, the giant metal cylinder released a beam of light straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds and transforming into snowflakes that drifted down.
It was already winter, so this snow did not seem unusual, marking the first snowfall of the year in Huashi City.
Although, this snow was somewhat strange.
The white, glowing snowflakes seemed to lack substance, passing through various obstacles to land on everyone, subtly influencing their minds.
A shared false memory was being constructed, silently, for every person in Huashi City.
This memory encompassed all the inhabitants of Huashi City, and they found nothing incongruous within it, thus posing no hidden threat.
As the snowflakes gradually covered the ground, the metal cylinder vanished into the air, and a look of apprehension flickered in Wen Wen's eyes.
When this device was used, the 遊獵者 (yóu liè zhě) were also summoned, indicating that this 'city-level memory eraser' also had a certain impact on them.
He suddenly realized that the so-called memory eraser was not a scientific product at all.
It was not even something manufactured based on knowledge from the inner world!
This power to clear and alter memories likely originated from an entity of at least Catastrophe-level strength or a Containment Object!
The so-called city-level memory eraser, and the small memory erasers in Wen Wen's hand, should merely be mediums for transmitting energy. The true memory modification was likely carried out by the entity itself.
This relationship was akin to Wen Wen and the puppet mouse!
Because Wen Wen had performed such operations many times, he was able to detect the irregularities.
For most other demon hunters, if their strength had not reached a certain level, they likely would not have been able to discover this.
Ordinary small memory erasers could only accept a fraction of the power compared to Wen Wen's mouse, which explained their vast numbers and their limited effect on ordinary people.
The large medium should be on a higher level than Wen Wen's mouse, considered a special product, capable of affecting all ordinary people within its range, and even having some impact on superhumans.
If there were large mediums, it would be one thing, but the question was whether there existed provincial or even regional memory erasers?
And could the underlying power distort the will of the entire world?
If so, were the memories Wen Wen currently possessed truly real?
Could it be that Wen Wen had actually experienced world-ending crises multiple times, but had forgotten all about them?
Wen Wen shook his head and sighed, ceasing his boundless thoughts.
Even with the strength of a Disaster Sequence, this world remained shrouded in mist for him.
No one knew what terrifying and horrifying things lay behind this fog.
...
After all the snowflakes disappeared, the memory erasure was complete.
The Hunter Association no longer needed direct intervention; they only needed to guide from the sidelines to ensure the matter passed uneventfully.
The outside world expressed great sympathy for the plight of Huashi City, but it was merely sympathy.
News reports discussed it, donations were made, and people gradually forgot about the incident.
Even years later, aside from the citizens of Huashi City, no one else would remember everything that Huashi City had gone through.
Such tragedies occurred frequently in the Federation. People could only remember one or two incidents, never realizing that this was a world fraught with many disasters.
They had become accustomed to such news, and even felt that they were living in a beautiful world.
In the eyes of Wen Wen and other superhumans, they were undoubtedly ignorant and unenlightened.
But who knew if Wen Wen and the others were also like these ordinary people in the eyes of certain existences?
Wen Wen did not know, nor did he wish to delve into this question.
After the memory erasure concluded, he left Huashi City and arrived at Taihe City, where Chu Wei had previously carried out a mission. This nearby city had not been affected by Huashi City, and Wen Wen decided to rest here for a few days.
After each major event, Wen Wen needed to temporarily halt his activities for a few days to adjust his mindset, sort through his gains, and plan his future development.
Constantly keeping his mind tense would only drive a person mad; a balance between relaxation and tension was the most ideal working state.
After a satisfying sleep, Wen Wen returned to the Containment Facility. The first thing he did was to check his spoils, including the monster containment objects captured in Biyi Town and Huashi City, as well as the materials and supplies obtained.
The materials and various scraps piled in the warehouse, yet to be processed, formed a considerable heap. Most prominent among them was the mountain of golden sea urchin spines.
Wen Wen planned to take some time to craft all these sea urchin spines into spears or javelins, using the metallic material of the golden harpoon for the spearheads.
Remaining were various superpowered materials he had stripped from parasitized monsters. These materials were not of high grade, but they were a jumbled assortment of everything.
It was not impossible for Wen Wen to craft these items into runic weapons, but then Wen Wen would have nothing else to do. He had almost filled an entire cell with such low-value materials.
Selling them to the Hunter Association could yield a substantial amount of demon hunter coins, but Wen Wen felt it was a loss.
After some thought, Wen Wen knew how to deal with these items.
He brought all the materials and found the central administrator on the second floor, the elegant woman formed from green light points, dressed in formal attire. Sudan Novel Network.
She possessed more noble气质 than any woman Wen Wen had ever met; at first glance, she resembled a goddess detached from the mortal world.
But when Wen Wen appeared, her demeanor completely collapsed. She floated excitedly towards him and complained in a voice that sent shivers down his spine, "You finally remembered to visit me, you heartless man."
"Do we have any relationship, big sister..." Wen Wen said with a slight headache.
Of the three central administrators of the Containment Facility, he mostly interacted only with the metal suit man, because only the metal suit man was the most normal.
The tadpole on the third floor was a mute; if Wen Wen asked it a bunch of things, it might only blurt out two words, often 'unknown'...
The central administrator on the second floor was the complete opposite of the one on the third floor. Initially appearing as a noble and cold goddess, she revealed her true colors after two days.
She constantly flirted with Wen Wen, her attitude considered quite unpleasant. The problem was that she had no physical form, so Wen Wen couldn't even entertain daring thoughts, which was why he always avoided her.
However, what Wen Wen intended to do next required her assistance.
