Wen Wen's eyes narrowed slightly. Now he had a suspect!
With a suspicion in mind, he needed to verify it. He didn't go home directly but went to the supermarket first to buy some things.
Toilet cleaner, disinfectant, chili powder, and other items…
After purchasing them, he brought these items to the containment facility and started making a small gadget.
The process of making it is not to be detailed, but after he finished, his eyes were slightly red.
Back home, Wen Wen jumped out of the window and climbed to the window of his neighbor's house, peeking at the situation inside.
Wen Wen's neighbor was Wu Wang, whom Wen Wen jokingly called the "Club Steel Wire Man."
At this moment, he was sitting in front of a very large television, using both hands to engage in some unmentionable activities.
Wen Wen, outside the window, had a strange look in his eyes: "With his demeanor, could he be that person… Forget it, I don't care. Since the item is ready, I must try it."
He quietly opened the window, then forcefully threw the gadget he had made into front of Wu Wang, and immediately closed the window.
As the thing fell to the ground, it emitted mixed red and green smoke, which instantly filled the entire room.
Wu Wang, who was in the middle of his activities, was completely stunned. The smoke was extremely pungent and irritating. After only a moment of contact, he felt a burning sensation in his eyes, nose, and exposed lower body.
It wasn't just irritating; he was also feeling dizzy.
"This gas is poisonous!"
He rushed to the door, wanting to escape his house, but he found that his door wouldn't open, as if it were blocked from the outside!
Wu Wang was dumbfounded. His abilities were not physical, so under these circumstances, his superpowers were of no use.
Jumping from the upper floor would be suicidal.
He could only desperately bang on the door, enduring the inhuman suffering.
"He panicked. He was so flustered that he didn't even think of covering his mouth and nose with a wet towel. I don't think it's him, or perhaps he realized I was watching him. Regardless, this test should come to an end."
The thing Wen Wen made required some chemical knowledge. When Wen Wen was a novice detective, he had researched many tricky operations to deal with enemies. After becoming a superpowered person, he stopped learning such crooked things.
He hesitated for a moment, then climbed back home and went to Wu Wang's door. With a kick, he kicked the door open.
"Wow, the condition of your house… it's really quite bad."
Wen Wen covered his mouth and nose, reached out, and pulled Wu Wang, who was squatting by the door, out.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have died in there," Wu Wang said with a sob, tears streaming down his face, not from emotion, but from the irritation.
Wen Wen comforted Wu Wang, saying, "In our line of work as demon hunters, we are bound to face retaliation. It's best to be prepared to avoid falling into traps."
"Thank you, thank you."
Wu Wang, still naked from the waist down, sincerely thanked Wen Wen, completely unaware that the man in front of him was the mastermind.
"You're welcome. As fellow hunters, we should help each other," Wen Wen said righteously, as if bathed in holy light.
"By the way, why are your eyes red if you weren't affected by the gas?" Wu Wang suddenly looked at Wen Wen suspiciously.
"Uh… I was cutting onions at home just now," Wen Wen said with a hint of guilt.
Wu Wang didn't suspect anything else. Looking at the room still filled with the irritating gas, anger surged in his heart, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"Damn it, who has such a grudge against me to harm me with such a method? If I find him, I will never let him go!"
Wen Wen awkwardly touched his nose and said to him, "Perhaps it's not a grudge, but just a prank. You were trapped inside for so long and there was no danger to your life, which shows this isn't some poison gas."
"Even a prank is unacceptable! I will definitely not let him go!"
"Do you have a suspect?"
Wu Wang said with certainty, "Heh, besides him, who else could it be? I helped Captain Lin apprehend a monster before, and that monster had an accomplice!"
"Then it must be him. Besides him, you have no other enemies in Furong River City," Wen Wen instigated Wu Wang, trying to distance himself from the matter.
The more he interacted with Wu Wang, the more awkward Wen Wen felt, fearing that Wu Wang would discover something, so he quickly ended the conversation.
"I've called the association. They will provide you with treatment. I'll be going back now; I have important matters to attend to."
After saying that, he retreated back to his own house and closed the door, leaving the bewildered Wu Wang standing naked in the hallway.
Wu Wang recovered for a moment and then felt something was wrong: "I called the association… No, don't! Then everyone will know my appearance. Open the door, let me in!"
But Wen Wen did not open the door. What if Wu Wang came in and found out he wasn't cutting onions?
Leaning against the door, Wen Wen repeatedly pondered all of Wu Wang's actions.
"He handled such a small incident so poorly. The target shouldn't be him…"
"Although that guy is crazy, he is very capable. He wouldn't fall for such a petty trick. But who is he? He has a certain understanding of me, that's undeniable. I must have met him…"
"Also, if Gallier died, then the other lead is also cut off. Who was it that made Gallier try to kill me…"
After thinking for a long time, Wen Wen couldn't figure anything out. All the clues were gone, and he could only wait for the next appearance of the imposter.
"I'll deal with recruiting containment personnel first. Life has to go on. If I dwell on this one matter, other things won't be able to proceed."
Wen Wen entered the containment facility. First, he went to the graveyard on the first floor of the facility and scraped off his name from the last tombstone.
This was directly related to his identity and couldn't be left there for new containment personnel to see.
Then he connected the Disaster Containment Badge to the Calamity Gloves. A pile of illusory bubbles appeared around him. Now, he could recruit containment personnel.
Without much hesitation, Wen Wen directly chose Uncle Gong.
The moment he made his choice, Wen Wen's figure appeared in Uncle Gong's hospital room.
There were other people in the room, but no one could see Wen Wen, as if Wen Wen didn't exist.
Wen Wen looked at his own body and found himself in a strange state, his body illusory but not a ghost.
In his hand, he held a contract. As long as Uncle Gong signed this contract, he could become a disaster containment personnel.
But Wen Wen did not choose to proceed; he retreated.
A moment later, Wen Wen reappeared, wearing the robe of a Disaster Warden, exuding a terrifying black aura.
With his previous attire, Uncle Gong might have recognized him, so he had to change his appearance.
Before recruiting containment personnel, Wen Wen had made a plan. He wanted to maintain a mysterious image, to be a behind-the-scenes boss type of character.
And this attire perfectly matched the characteristics of mystery and power.
