"Ahem, quiet down. I have two things to announce today." Lin Zheyuan coughed twice, and everyone quieted down.
"The first thing is that 'Binghe' will arrive tomorrow. He will be temporarily staying at our Furong River branch to focus on matters concerning the disaster-class aura."
"Throughout the entire process, we must assist him unconditionally."
Unconditional assistance. Hearing this, everyone felt a bit down, yet expectant at the same time.
Unlike them, the local demon hunters stationed in these small places, Binghe, as a top-tier roaming hunter, was quite famous within the entire demon hunter community of Beihai Province.
Being able to cooperate with Binghe once would surely broaden their horizons and allow them to go further in the demon hunter profession.
Of course, for Wen Wen, it was different. The more famous the person, the more he worried about his true identity being exposed, as he was the one being investigated this time.
"The second thing is that an abnormal incident occurred in Yuteng Village, Gu'an County, and someone is needed to handle it."
Gu'an County is a district under the jurisdiction of Furong River City. There are no officially established demon hunter teams there, only a team of assistants stationed. If something happens, Furong River City needs to provide support.
Hearing the location, the others showed little interest, their postures becoming as limp as fish.
They didn't like handling cases in the countryside. It could take days, and if something truly happened, aid would be slow.
Moreover, Binghe's arrival was an opportunity for them. For formal demon hunters to move between cities without being tied down, there were only three ways.
The first was to advance to the Assimilation realm themselves, pass the assessment, and become a roaming hunter, allowing them to travel between cities and handle difficult cases.
The second was to possess special abilities and be selected for certain specialized teams, like the Spirit Exorcism Squad mentioned earlier.
The last was to be chosen by a roaming hunter as their assistant.
And Binghe was a roaming hunter who liked to bring assistants, so for those demon hunters dreaming of a bigger stage, Binghe's arrival was a great opportunity.
However, if they were truly assigned a task, they couldn't refuse and would have to brace themselves and go.
But while they were unwilling, Wen Wen was eager!
His eyes lit up, and he said to Lin Zheyuan, "What are the specific circumstances? I've been so idle lately that I'm going stir-crazy."
Lin Zheyuan's spirits immediately lifted. It was difficult for him to forcibly assign tasks that no one wanted to undertake. Now that Wen Wen had proactively stepped up, it was perfect.
"The incident first occurred by the river in Yuteng Village. A class of over a dozen students from Yuteng Village Primary School went to swim by the river. When they were found, they were all lying by the river, crying incessantly."
"Tsk, they've been taught since primary school not to play by the river, and now it's happened again. But this monster is gentle enough this time, only knocking people out." Wen Wen teased with a smile.
Lin Zheyuan shook his head and said sternly, "All of these students' knees were shattered. Even with the most advanced treatment, their full function cannot be restored."
Wen Wen rubbed his chin and smacked his lips, "Only smashing the knees and not attacking other parts, this monster is quite interesting."
"This is the source of the incident, and it has now worsened. To date, more than a dozen more people in Yuteng Village have had their knees broken. However, the culprit has never been found. It can only be confirmed that the culprit is wandering within the village."
"The assistant team in Gu'an County cannot handle it, so they have requested our assistance. Do you want to take on this mission?"
"It's quite an interesting mission. I'll go and take a look. I'll head home to prepare shortly and then depart."
Lin Zheyuan nodded and said, "Go early and return early. Be careful."
Wen Wen replied with a smile, "If I fail, at least my knees can grow back. If you fail, you'll be in wheelchairs from now on."
Returning home, Wen Wen began his preparations. He looked at the map, and his eyes narrowed.
"This Gu'an County is very close to the Qiling Mountains. Should I go and have some fun?"
Wen Wen had long wanted to visit the Qiling Mountains. To him, it was the best hunting ground.
Since the situation of the mission was unclear this time, it would be normal for him to take several days to complete it. By then, Binghe and his group would likely not find anything and would leave.
After some simple preparations, Wen Wen drove off.
As he moved further away from Furong River City, the roads became more bumpy. The rough dirt roads made Wen Wen feel sorry for his car.
Although the city was prosperous, poverty still existed in areas far from the city.
The superhuman abilities of the Hunter Association were powerful, and their numbers were large. If they wanted to seize control of the world, it was indeed possible.
However, what the world's development truly needed was not superpowers, but ordinary people.
Launching wars could only bring disaster.
An unstable society, besides causing the large-scale descent of creatures from the inner world, was meaningless.
Moreover, even if the superhumans solved all the problems, they could only cause society to regress.
No matter how strong they were, they could not lift the people in such places out of poverty, but social progress could.
Therefore, the Hunter Association's mission had always been to protect ordinary humans and maintain social stability, not to tower over ordinary people.
Following the map to the village entrance, Wen Wen was intercepted by the assistant team from Gu'an County.
"Hello, I am Li Lantian, the head of the Gu'an County assistant team." A middle-aged man with white temples walked over and extended his hand to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen shook his hand, gave it a polite couple of shakes, and then let go.
"Take me to see the situation. I will be taking over this matter. You only need to assist from the side."
Li Lantian nodded in agreement, then asked curiously, "May I ask how I should address you? I didn't see you when I last went to the branch."
"I haven't joined for long, so it's normal that you haven't seen me. These are trivial matters. Let's talk about the specific situation." Wen Wen said impatiently.
He still needed to hurry and finish this matter, then go to the Qiling Mountains to play. There should be many good things there.
Li Lantian didn't say much and directly led Wen Wen into a tent, explaining the situation in detail.
After a day of investigation, they had gained some understanding of the situation in Yuteng Village.
Since yesterday, the attacks had not stopped. All the victims claimed to have seen a twenty-centimeter-tall doll, and that the doll had used a hammer to smash their knees. Sudan Novel Network.
The first thing the assistant team did upon arriving was to evacuate all the villagers.
During the evacuation, two assistants encountered the attacker and had their knees smashed without any ability to resist.
