Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 398 Returning to Self

When Wen Wen returned to the vicinity of the museum, it was already cordoned off by assistants who were carrying out post-event work.

The evacuated citizens would likely need a few days before they could return to their homes, and by then, they would have forgotten the experiences of these past few days.

The missions on the hunting terminals had also been canceled. Since the matter had concluded, there was no longer any necessity for hunters to handle it; more professional teams would be following up.

Wen Wen expected someone to approach him about the Black Cross, so he needed to prepare his story in advance.

After briefly listening to the discussions of the nearby demon hunters, Wen Wen discovered that they were all talking about the rampaging exhibits and the new clandestine organization, the 'Black Cross.' Not a single person mentioned the mysteriously disappeared museum.

Therefore, Wen Wen also had to pretend he knew nothing about the museum. After all, at the time of the incident, the hunter 'Gui Tan' was not in the city.

The atmosphere at the scene wasn't particularly heavy. Although the incident was serious and had greatly inconvenienced the demon hunters, there were no casualties among ordinary people. This was the best possible outcome.

The only one who suffered damage was likely Xiong Ying, and he was the one Wen Wen cared about the most.

Wen Wen had originally planned to have Xiong Ying enter the containment facility under his supervision once this matter was resolved. He hadn't expected him to be harmed like this due to an event he himself had triggered.

Fortunately, Xiong Ying had not died directly, otherwise, Wen Wen's already less-than-pleasant mood might have worsened.

Grabbing some fruit from the containment facility, Wen Wen headed to a private clinic to check on Xiong Ying's condition.

This small clinic looked like it was about to go out of business, but in reality, it was the location of the Hunter Association's medical team in Qingchuan City, and its doctors were top-notch in the entire city.

Moreover, the space inside was not as small as it appeared. The basement alone was comparable to a small general hospital.

Xiong Ying was currently receiving treatment here. Due to his special condition, the association had not notified his family but had sent assistants to comfort Xiong Ying's parents.

When Wen Wen walked into the ward, he found Changsun Jing sitting by Xiong Ying's bed. A nurse was applying medication and bandaging him. He had seven broken ribs, and his right leg and back had extensive tearing injuries.

Such injuries, which might require several months of recovery for an ordinary person, were merely routine for any demon hunter. After receiving medication and bandaging, he would recover within a few days at most.

"How is he?" Wen Wen asked Changsun Jing.

"Not good. The doctor said it's a miracle he's alive with his current constitution. Whether he wakes up is up to fate."

For superhumans, as long as they weren't dead, everything could be managed. Thus, Changsun Jing was no longer as anxious as before.

Wen Wen placed his hand on Xiong Ying's chest, extending his senses, and then looked surprised. The malice in Xiong Ying's heart was disappearing, replaced by a warm aura.

"He seems to be undergoing a transformation. This so-called 'Devil's Heart' isn't as simple as Xiong Ying described... Perhaps, what Xiong Ying knew from the beginning was only what this heart wanted him to know." – Sudan Fiction Network

Changsun Jing nodded, then looked at Wen Wen with burning eyes and said, "My strength is insufficient. I want to attempt assimilation. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Everyone's assimilation is different. What works for me might not work for you."

Wen Wen maintained a neutral expression, but inwardly, he felt a bit awkward. Truthfully, he wasn't even a common superhuman, so how could he guide Changsun Jing in advancing to the assimilation realm?

He could only bluff Changsun Jing with the information he had seen after becoming a hunter.

Fortunately, at this moment, a woman walked in, alleviating Wen Wen's awkwardness. This woman was tall, with a refined appearance, and naturally sat next to Changsun Jing.

Changsun Jing introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Xiao Man. She accompanied me to Qingchuan City for our postings and is now the firearms instructor for the Qingchuan City Assistance Team."

Hearing the name Xiao Man and seeing her face, Wen Wen found it somewhat familiar. He then looked at her legs and remembered everything.

She was the female superhuman from the corrupted district, the one who wore a long skirt and kicked people, but wore safety shorts underneath!

"I never expected you, with your respectable appearance, to have a girlfriend..." Wen Wen felt a pang of envy watching Changsun Jing's smug expression as he introduced her.

Changsun Jing also felt a sense of emotion. Before, there was absolutely no possibility of him and Xiao Man getting together. However, after they both lost their abilities, various coincidences led them to become a couple.

Watching the affectionate display between them, Wen Wen couldn't shake the feeling that Changsun Jing had abused his authority to be with Xiao Man after regaining his abilities.

So, he decided to find an opportunity to recruit Xiao Man as a containment officer to see if their relationship would change.

Afterward, Wen Wen, tired of watching the couple dote on each other, simply left.

...

For the next two days, Wen Wen's actions in Qingchuan City were rather peculiar.

Using the abilities of the Faceless Demon, he disguised himself to look like a circus clown.

Then, he began to frequent places where normal people wouldn't, doing things ordinary people wouldn't do, like a complete pervert.

These actions were bizarre, but when consolidated, they could only be described by two words...

Wickedness!

He would drip shampoo onto people's heads while they were washing their hair, making it impossible for them to rinse out the foam, leaving them in impotent rage...

He would tie a stick to a dog, with a rope tied to the end of the stick, holding meat. The meat was right in front of the dog, but no matter how much the dog ran forward, it couldn't eat the meat, creating an perpetual motion dog...

Or he would steal the clothes off all the figurines in a shut-in's collection...

Or he would use the ability of a TV ghost to emerge from the screen while people were watching videos...

As for stealing toilet paper from people, putting frogs in their shoes, or smearing menthol balm on sensitive areas, those were mere trifles done in passing.

No one who became Wen Wen's target was spared misfortune. Even Changsun Jing's private savings were 'accidentally' discovered by Xiao Man while she was cleaning the room, all according to Wen Wen's arrangements...

Some were enraged, others were speechless, and some were terrified. However, no one was injured as a result.

Even so, Wen Wen's actions over these two days could be described as insane. With his formidable ability to act within the ranks of disaster, countless people in Qingchuan City were pranked by him. In just two days, the legend of a terrifying clown began to spread throughout Qingchuan City.

On the morning of the third day, Wen Wen, with a mischievous grin on his face, dripped mustard oil into the milk of twenty Giant Pandas.

Now, the anger and mania he had accumulated due to Wen Rui's matters had been completely exhausted.

The pranks that lasted for two days allowed Wen Wen to rediscover himself. He would not lose himself because of Wen Rui's matters!
