The old woman clutched the stack of money, then looked at Wen Wen. After hesitating for a long time, she sighed and walked to Wen Wen’s side, confiscating a few unopened bottles of wine.
“You have money, but you can’t spend it like this. Whatever Auntie earns from selling things, this is not the way to do it.”
“And you can’t drink like this. You’ll ruin your health at such a young age. Your parents would be heartbroken.”
“Heh heh… Heh heh…”
Wen Wen let out a sneer. He didn’t make a strange face, but it sent a chill down the old woman’s spine, as if she were sitting opposite a venomous snake ready to devour prey. However, that feeling flashed by.
“Just because you’re willing to advise me, you deserve this money… Besides, my body won’t be ruined by drinking, and I don’t have parents to worry about me!”
Though he said this, Wen Wen didn’t continue drinking. Instead, he opened his hunting terminal, accepted the recently posted mission about the abnormality in Qingchuan City, and left the small restaurant.
He wasn’t persuaded by the old woman’s words, but rather because drinking like that was no longer useful to him, and he had other things to do.
As one of the closest hunters to Qingchuan City, Wen Wen naturally accepted this mission. This way, he could openly go to Qingchuan City and clean up the mess.
After all, he was the reason it had become like this, and he couldn’t just leave it unattended.
With the old woman and the others in the restaurant as witnesses, it could also be proven that Wen Wen had already left Qingchuan City at the time of the incident.
…
Xiong Ying successfully held off the Tyrannosaurus Rex, even managing to repel it with his desperate burst of power.
However, the expression on his face grew increasingly desperate. The members of the demon hunter squad were all trapped by that demon god, and monsters with an aura similar to, or even stronger than, the Tyrannosaurus Rex were spreading outwards.
If no one stopped them, they would cause immense disaster. With Xiong Ying’s abilities, stopping this single Tyrannosaurus Rex was already extremely difficult. Trying to stop others, even at the cost of his life, would be impossible.
Just as Xiong Ying was about to collapse, the red flowers and the giant black cross above the museum vanished into thin air, and then the entire museum was enveloped in a red light.
At the same time, red light spots began to appear on the monsters. These light spots became denser and denser, eventually forming a membrane that constantly expanded over the monsters.
Seeing the red light spots appear on their bodies, the rampaging exhibits became agitated, but it was useless. When the red membrane covered a monster, the red light outside the museum would tremble, and then the monster would be dragged into the museum by an unseen force.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex that Xiong Ying was fighting, as well as the demon god that was toying with the demon hunter squad members, also began to show red light spots.
From near to far, every exhibit that had escaped the museum was eventually drawn back in.
After all the exhibits in Qingchuan City were recalled, the museum trembled once, then trembled again. But no matter how much it shook, nothing flew back.
The demon hunters stared blankly at the giant museum, which was trembling like it had epilepsy. An awkward atmosphere permeated the air.
Inside the museum, the woman in the sailor suit frowned. Unless the exhibits were given away normally, not a single item from this museum would be lost. Yet this time, two items had failed to return!
Although neither of them were important items, the severity of losing something versus not losing something was entirely different in the eyes of the academy’s professors.
Wen Rui appeared before the woman in a peculiar manner and asked coldly, “Why haven’t you transferred yet?”
The woman swallowed and replied, “Two exhibits… are missing.”
“Were any important items lost?” Wen Rui asked, raising an eyebrow. His expression bore a slight resemblance to Wen Wen.
“One of the missing items was just an ordinary disaster-class containment object, while the other… was a secret tome,” the woman said to Wen Rui somewhat nervously, as everything in this place was valuable. Sudan Novel Network
Wen Rui’s expression remained unreadable. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “There’s no need to investigate further. Professor Qiao’s son will be blamed anyway. Let’s leave.”
The woman nodded, continued murmuring a few incantations, and the entire giant museum gradually became transparent, then vanished into the air.
The demon hunters, who were staring at the museum, seemed not to notice its disappearance. They turned around naturally and celebrated their victory.
Only Xiong Ying looked at the empty space with confusion, his eyes full of questions. Where had that museum gone?
Whenever the existence of the Mysterious Museum was about to cause a stir, it would disappear, and all traces of its presence would be erased, not just physically but also from memory!
Only those of disaster-class or higher, and those connected to the museum, would harbor doubts about such disappearances.
The museum would reopen in a randomly chosen city in the Federation, and no one in that city would notice the sudden appearance of a museum.
The existence of the Mysterious Museum and several other special buildings was known only to the high-ranking officials of the Hunter Association and the powerful individuals of some secret organizations. Even for them, finding this museum again was not easy.
It was precisely because of this that the museum appeared so mysterious, to the point that even Wen Wen, a hunter, was unaware of its existence.
As the strange items disappeared one by one, the demon hunters breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiong Ying, who was flying in the air with flapping wings, also smiled.
Although he hadn’t played a significant role, this disaster had been quelled, and he could finally relax for a while.
As the thought of relaxation entered his mind, Xiong Ying felt all his strength being drawn into his heart. Unable to sustain his transformation, he plummeted from the air.
Seeing this, Changsun Jing gritted his teeth and leaped high, catching Xiong Ying.
Then, the people from the Qingchuan City Association gathered around.
They were very concerned about Xiong Ying’s condition. If Xiong Ying hadn’t stepped forward, allowing that Tyrannosaurus Rex to reach densely populated areas, the consequences were unimaginable.
Before they arrived, they already knew that if Xiong Ying acted again, he might die!
As he landed, Xiong Ying’s heartbeat slowed down, his muscles began to atrophy, and his hair rapidly turned white and started to fall out.
Seeing this, Changsun Jing’s face turned ashen. He felt utterly useless.
As a demon hunter, he was accustomed to demon hunters dying while fighting monsters. If a demon hunter had fallen here, perhaps he wouldn’t have such strong emotional fluctuations.
But Xiong Ying was not a demon hunter. He was just a high school student who had gained powers less than two months ago. Seeing such a child sacrifice himself made Changsun Jing feel uneasy.
However, when Xiong Ying had become so emaciated that he was unrecognizable, the change abruptly stopped, and Changsun Jing’s face lit up with ecstatic joy.
Although Xiong Ying was very weak now, he was not dead!
And deep within his heart, a vibrant life force seemed to be brewing!
