Smiling, smiling, his gentle expression gradually returned to normal, then became slightly sad. He looked at his attire and sighed.
"In the end, I still couldn't control myself... but fortunately, there were no humans around."
When the battle was halfway through, Wen Wen had already begun to lose control. He remembered every detail of the battle, and all his thoughts during the entire process. He had participated in the entire battle voluntarily, but it was precisely because it was voluntary that it was terrifying.
The pleasure that surged from the depths of his heart was truly addictive. It was like tasting the marrow of a bone, and nothing could compare.
But he still had to control himself. It was best if such a thing didn't happen again; he didn't want to lose control.
After feeling a bit down, Wen Wen quickly recovered. He wasn't the type to wallow in self-pity. Since it had already happened, there was no way to change it, and regretting it was useless. All he could do was not make the same mistake next time.
He looked at the corpses of the two monsters and muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, those two monsters were quite troublesome. I've already become stronger than before, and I still found them quite difficult. After losing control, I was actually able to kill these two monsters so easily..."
"Is this the legendary 'blackening makes one invincible, redemption weakens them'?"
Just as his sigh ended, Wen Wen clutched his chest. He felt a sharp pain, so intense that he couldn't breathe.
"Why did I kill them... why did I kill them... what a waste!"
"The defensive abilities and ranged attack abilities I could have gained are all gone now, gone... I can't lose control again," Wen Wen said firmly to himself.
He picked up the rooster's comb, threw it onto the turtle's body, which was already half-corroded, and then sat on it. He intended to take these two corpses into the containment facility to see if they had any residual value. The most important value had already been wasted, but perhaps he could recover some losses from their corpses. Since they were dead, they were just a mixture of flesh and bone, and Wen Wen was allowed to bring items into the facility.
Before entering the facility, Wen Wen stared with a strange expression at the spot where the rooster demon had fallen. It had been stained a dark red by the demon's blood.
"Should I shovel this soil back... Tao Qingqing might be able to lick it..."
After struggling for a while, Wen Wen gave up on the tempting thought. It was a bit too much to ask a beautiful young vampire to eat dirt.
...
Tao Qingqing lay on the cold floor, wanting to sleep.
Vampires were not afraid of loneliness. Once these creatures were well-fed, they could sleep for years in a coffin.
But Tao Qingqing couldn't sleep soundly. Uncharacteristically for a vampire, she suffered from insomnia. That hateful guy was constantly draining her power, bit by bit, making her body feel hollowed out.
Imagine sleeping soundly and suddenly losing a surge of vital essence. Once or twice might be fine, but doing it repeatedly was unbearable for anyone.
A moment ago, another person appeared in Disaster Containment Facility Cell 0-0005. It was a woman in white, barefoot, but that woman was currently unconscious, and it was unknown when she would wake up.
However, she wasn't particularly concerned. She was just another victim. In front of Wen Wen, these monsters were the real victims.
Suddenly, an inexplicable surge of power flowed into her body. This power was persistent, as if she were drawing from blood with high energy density.
"Where is this power coming from... Ah... I can't take it anymore, it feels so good."
The power surged in waves, causing her to cry out. This feeling of power coming from within her body was different from actual blood-sucking, and it made her consciousness blur.
After a while, the sensation stopped. She estimated that this surge of power was equivalent to her draining an ordinary superpowered individual, and because the power came from within her body, she absorbed it with almost no loss.
Vampires could increase their strength by absorbing high-energy blood, but this method had a significant drain, so this undiminished energy could lead to substantial progress in her strength!
She was happy for a moment, but her mood soon turned somber. Even with increased strength, she was still confined in this cell, and her situation wouldn't change.
Just then, Wen Wen, covered in blood, appeared in the cell, along with the corpses of two monsters!
Tao Qingqing looked at Wen Wen and was stunned. She actually detected a trace of a unique vampire aura on him. This aura made Wen Wen particularly alluring to her.
But Wen Wen didn't give her much time to admire him; he disappeared from the containment facility, causing her emotions to dip again.
...
After sending the rooster into the containment facility, Wen Wen didn't waste much time. He quickly emerged from the facility again, eager to obtain what the Disaster Containment Facility wanted, as nothing was obstructing him anymore.
He walked into the abandoned haunted house. The house was covered in dust, and cobwebs could be seen everywhere, real ones.
In a sense, the unlit, un-activated haunted house was far more terrifying than when it was operating.
As Wen Wen took a few steps, an aged zombie mannequin popped out. This method of scaring was cliché but effective, so Wen Wen directly punched the mannequin, shattering it.
He was rarely scared by such things. While he wasn't fearless like a certain great writer, his nerves were much thicker than ordinary people's. Ordinary frightening scenes simply couldn't scare him.
Without any fright or mishap, he reached the innermost part of this simple haunted house. In front of Wen Wen was a small room, about five to six meters in length and width, but this room was not easy to enter.
The room was filled with all sorts of venomous creatures: scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and snakes. These dangerous creatures covered every corner of the room, making it impossible to step into.
To put it this way, if a brick were thrown in, it might be splattered with insect fluids.
Although these venomous creatures coexisted peacefully among themselves, Wen Wen didn't believe he would emerge unharmed if he entered.
This wasn't an old-fashioned adventure movie where a cave was filled with venomous creatures solely to highlight the protagonist's bravery and be disgusting, with none of them managing to bite the protagonist.
This was the real world, and these venomous creatures clearly weren't to be trifled with. Wen Wen was certain that the moment he stepped into this room, these venomous insects would crawl into his body through the gaps in his clothes and poison him to death within a short period.
And what the Disaster Containment Facility wanted was already obvious. In the center of the room, there was a human-sized, powerfully beating heart!
Several blood-red pipes were attached to the heart, extending to the ceiling of the room. From these blood vessels, Wen Wen felt that this must be the source of the blood vessels that enveloped the entire Furong River Amusement Park.
