Walking down the street, Wen Wen seemed unapproachable. If he met the gaze of any ordinary person peeking out their window, they would surely avert their eyes.
This wasn't because Wen Wen looked particularly fierce, but rather because the people in this city were excessively uneasy.
Superhumans engaging in combat, large toxic explosions, omnipresent serial killers, ferocious monsters with grotesque appearances, rampant gales...
Everything that had happened in the past few days had exceeded the psychological capacity of Hua Shan’s citizens. They would have preferred that the supposed invaders of Hua City were simply a group of thugs.
At least then, they could have understood.
Apart from patrolling Helpers and the military, ordinary people were almost nonexistent on the streets. They were all hiding in their homes, peeking out their windows at a city that had become a stranger to them.
The citizens feared everyone different from them, whether they were demon hunters saving them or bloodthirsty murderers.
They couldn't distinguish between the two, so they remained wary of everyone.
The atmosphere of the city made Wen Wen feel somewhat stifled. If this continued for too long, the city itself might breed terrifying evil.
Just one city discovering the existence of the superhuman world had led to this state. Wen Wen found it hard to imagine the horrific effects that would occur if all the ordinary people in the world learned the truth about it.
Human emotions had power. When immense negative emotions accumulated, they could attract certain things from the inner world.
Putting aside other matters, since Wen Wen began taking over the clean-up work, it was statistically evident that the frequency of new monster appearances in Hua City far surpassed the previous rate.
The number of parasitized individuals had decreased, while the number of other monsters had significantly increased. Every moment, someone would succumb to the eerie atmosphere and go completely mad, or specters from the gray fog layer would be summoned by despair.
Now, Wen Wen had a profound understanding of the necessity of memory wiping and recognized the world’s terrifying and brutal side.
At least regarding superhuman abilities, the truth was poison to the masses!
Wen Wen had been busy for two consecutive days before a new Ranger arrived to take over his duties, granting him some respite.
With the efforts of numerous demon hunters, the situation in Hua City was expected to stabilize somewhat in another two or three days, after which the memory wiping process could begin.
Once everyone's memories were cleared of any information about the superhuman world, life would return to normal.
Meanwhile, Wen Wen sought out Chu Wei, as he had some items to settle with him.
Previously, Wen Wen had used Chu Wei's immortality to trick Wu Wang out of several containment items. They had agreed to a fifty-fifty split, and Wen Wen had no intention of reneging, so he came to find Chu Wei.
After Wen Wen explained the entire process to Chu Wei, Chu Wei's eyes lit up.
"Heh heh, next time something like this happens, remember to tell me the details. I guarantee that guy wouldn't have seen through it, otherwise, we would have only gotten four containment items by now."
At the same time, Chu Wei was secretly plotting how to use such methods to find opportunities to trick people.
Ignoring Chu Wei's scheming nature, Wen Wen took out the containment items he had obtained from Wu Wang and placed them before Chu Wei one by one.
These were a shield, a medicine bottle, a coin, and a tomahawk steak. These were the containment items Wen Wen had swindled from Wu Wang.
Wen Wen first picked up the shield and said, "This shield is called the 'Bullseye Shield.' The bullseye pattern on it makes people involuntarily target the shield as their first attack. If you walk through a hail of bullets holding this small round shield, not a single bullet will hit you."
"Furthermore, this shield can reflect disaster-level attacks, and to a certain extent, mitigate attacks of disaster level or higher. The negative effect is that holding this shield will make you the primary target for enemies..." according to Sudan Novel Network.
After hearing the shield's properties, Chu Wei was rather uninterested. He couldn't die, so what use did he have for a shield?
Next, Wen Wen picked up the second item, the medicine bottle. The bottle had eight large characters written on it: 'Learn to curse, enjoy to the extreme'!
Wen Wen chuckled twice before explaining to Chu Wei, "This medicine bottle automatically produces one pill every day, accumulating up to ten pills before stopping."
"After taking this pill, you will gain extraordinary cursing abilities and will be invincible in verbal battles. However, the side effect is that after taking the pill, your mouth will become foul-smelling for an hour, and even immediate brushing won't alleviate it."
Seeing this medicine, Chu Wei's eyes gleamed. This was great; he loved to curse!
"If you don't want this, I'll take it!"
Wen Wen nodded and tossed the medicine bottle to him. It was good that Chu Wei wanted it; he himself didn't like to curse because he usually resorted to direct action.
Moreover, the side effect of the foul breath was quite terrifying, with each pill having a different smell.
Some smelled like steamed durian, some like disinfectant, and some like feces...
"The third item is this coin."
Wen Wen carefully held the coin in his hand and showed it to Chu Wei. One side depicted a strong man, and the other showed a bolt of lightning.
"This coin is called the Lucky Coin. It's something that can only be handled with sufficient luck. Simply flip this coin, and a judgment will be made when it lands."
"If it lands on the man side, your own attribute will be randomly enhanced for a short period. If it lands on the lightning side, a bolt of lightning will immediately strike you."
"Also, the coin accidentally landing on the tail side also counts as a flip, so it's best to wrap it with something and prevent it from moving freely."
Chu Wei was also somewhat interested in this coin, but he wanted to see the fourth item first; he was curious about what kind of containment item this steak was.
"This one, this steak is called a tomahawk steak. As the name suggests, it can be used as a tomahawk, or as a steak..."
"When used as a tomahawk, it's equivalent to a super-powered battle axe for chopping trees, monsters, or people. When eaten, it's like a real steak. Once grilled, it can be eaten, and the next day, another steak will grow on the bone."
"Oh, right, the steak that grows will have a layer of cling film on it, so you don't have to worry about it getting dirty while chopping people, making it unsuitable for eating. This thing seems to have no side effects."
Chu Wei looked at the steak with a peculiar expression. He definitely didn't want this item; it would be embarrassing enough to chop people with it.
Afterward, the two had a discussion, and in the end, Chu Wei took the Lucky Coin and the cursing pills, while Wen Wen obtained the tomahawk steak and the Bullseye Shield.
Although these two items weren't of much use to Wen Wen, they were fun enough. For Wen Wen, being fun was enough.
After dividing the spoils, Wen Wen took a deep breath. Now, he had another matter to attend to...
