When Wen Wen returned, the Quetzalcoatl lay on the road, its joints dislocated. A large pit had appeared in the cement beneath its body, indicating the extreme violence it had endured.
A slender girl with red hair stood barefoot beside the Quetzalcoatl, which bore dozens of shoe prints on its body.
"Are you the superpowered individual who attracted the Quetzalcoatl?"
The man in the cowboy hat saw Wen Wen and showed a surprised expression. He hadn't expected Wen Wen to return.
So this monster was called Quetzalcoatl...
They called people with supernatural abilities superpowered individuals...
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Wen Wen appeared confused. Since the monster had already been dealt with, he had no need to expose his identity further.
"You don't need to play dumb. You were the one who drew it out, and you were the one who captured that weak ghost at Green Source Middle School. I remember your aura," the man said calmly, looking at Wen Wen.
"..."
Since the man had made it so clear, there was no point in Wen Wen continuing to feign ignorance. He sighed and gestured to the traces of the fight around them.
"Don't you need to clean up the scene? The commotion earlier was quite significant."
"This isn't our concern. Specialists will handle it. The memories of anyone nearby who witnessed the supernatural event will be erased. Now, I need to focus on your matter." The man said indifferently.
"Hmm... So it was all your doing. No wonder those damned middle schoolers told me they went to a cold storage to freeze, that was complete nonsense."
Wen Wen suddenly realized. He had been puzzled about this matter before. While browsing 'underground cases,' he discovered there were so many supernatural cases.
Despite the many supernatural cases, witnesses were extremely rare. Those who confidently claimed to have seen monsters were usually just followers who heard rumors.
This resulted in many supernatural events being unverified due to a lack of witnesses, eventually becoming urban legends.
As a result, even now, in the minds of ordinary people, the Earth Federation was still a world without gods or ghosts.
The man adjusted his hat and introduced himself to Wen Wen: "Hunter Association, Captain of the Furong River Area Hunting Squad, Lin Zheyuan."
"Furong River Area Demon Hunter, Lin Lu," the pink-haired girl said, jumping next to Lin Zheyuan.
"You still want to state titles?" Wen Wen rubbed his hair and said, "Hmm... Great Detective Wen Wen?"
Lin Zheyuan and the girl: "..."
Wen Wen had no intention of fleeing. His possession of supernatural abilities had already been exposed, and his identity wasn't that well-hidden.
Given that his appearance was revealed, unless he went into hiding and abandoned his identity, he couldn't escape. Sudanyuan Novel Network.
And Wen Wen had no intention of abandoning his identity. There was only one country in this world, the Earth Federation, with no 'foreign countries' to flee to. Therefore, Wen Wen decided to cooperate with these two.
"Come with us. We won't do anything to you, we'll just let you understand some of the most basic things a superpowered individual should know, so you don't cause trouble like today and then run away."
Lin Lu glanced at Wen Wen with her eyes and said.
"Let me correct you here, I wasn't running away, I was going to find weapons."
Wen Wen lifted his trench coat, revealing a bundle of various knives tied inside. This kind of attire was usually seen on serial killers.
It turned out he had gone to find weapons just then. His strength was no match for that monster, and the monster's blood was highly corrosive, so Wen Wen could only find as many weapons as possible to kill the monster.
"You clearly intended to flee, you're just saying the opposite of what you mean," Lin Lu said dismissively.
"Hiss..." Wen Wen's slightly reddened eyes fixed on Lin Lu, scanning her from bottom to top.
From her bare feet, to her large white legs with stockings torn in multiple places, and then to her flat chest...
The gaze made Lin Lu's skin crawl. Being scanned by those slender eyes, coupled with the ominous aura emanating faintly from Wen Wen's body, felt like being stared at by a venomous snake demon.
"You demon hunters have quite heavy tastes."
Retracting his gaze, Wen Wen gave Lin Zheyuan a knowing look that made Lin Lu grind her teeth in anger.
Back at the hotel, after gathering his belongings, Wen Wen got into a minivan with them. After driving for about half an hour, they arrived at the western outskirts of Furong River City, the Eighth Psychiatric Hospital.
The hospital was not small in scale, but it looked quite desolate. Piles of garbage could still be seen in the corners.
Opening the iron gate, Wen Wen followed Lin Zheyuan into the hospital.
"A psychiatric hospital? You're not going to experiment on me, are you? The Fifth Hospital was a dive, but the Eighth... tsk tsk."
Due to an incident at a private psychiatric hospital, Wen Wen had a bad feeling about psychiatric hospitals. However, out of professional courtesy, Wen Wen still carefully observed the hospital.
It was located on the western outskirts but had convenient transportation. The geographical environment was not complex, and there were not many people, making it less likely to attract attention.
Therefore, the psychiatric hospital was likely a front; this was probably their demon hunter headquarters.
However, even if they did intend to experiment on him, Wen Wen was not afraid, as he could enter the Disaster Containment Facility at any time.
"Speaking of which, how did you find that monster so quickly? It only appeared a short while ago." Wen Wen suddenly asked, following behind Lin Zheyuan.
"We didn't find the monster, we found you. If we had found you earlier, that monster would never have appeared," Lin Lu replied.
"It seems I've been on your radar for a long time."
Wen Wen raised an eyebrow. When he captured Qin Shuang's ghost at Green Source Middle School, he believed he had cleaned up all traces. He hadn't expected these two to track him down.
"That's right. As long as you haven't gone too far, there's no one the captain can't find," Lin Lu said proudly, as if she were the one who had found Wen Wen.
"You said that if you had found me earlier, the monster wouldn't have appeared. Why is that?" Wen Wen asked curiously. He was very curious about the monster; how did it appear?
In that gray fog world, there were countless shadows like it. Why did only that one come to attack him?
Lin Zheyuan stopped walking, and Wen Wen followed suit.
"Before I answer you, I'd like to ask, have you been attacked by any other monsters before?"
"No," Wen Wen shook his head, very sure of himself, because he was usually the one attacking other monsters.
"As for why the monster attacked you, I can probably guess. You entered a world entirely filled with gray fog and then tried to get a clear look at it, right?" Lin Zheyuan said with certainty.
Wen Wen nodded. Indeed, it was after he got a clear look at the Quetzalcoatl that it went berserk and attacked him.
"Your spiritual sense is truly strong. You must have awakened not long ago, yet you can already enter the gray fog layer and even attract monsters from the inner world. You're a promising candidate," Lin Zheyuan praised.
