"With all my current abilities, there's no way to attack this guy, so I have to use an unexpected method..."
"This guy's movement speed isn't that fast. Perhaps it's just because of his strange body that he can easily dodge my attacks..."
"He doesn't attack me, perhaps not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't..."
Wen Wen maintained his high-frequency attacks while thinking of a way to escape the predicament. Once decided, he turned and ran!
"If he can't catch up, then I'll just escape like this. If he can catch up..."
Wen Wen's speed was already extremely fast, but the black shadow was not slow either. It stuck closely to Wen Wen's back. Although it couldn't catch up to Wen Wen, Wen Wen also couldn't shake it off.
"As expected, it can't be ended this easily..."
Wen Wen stopped abruptly. The high-speed stop caused his leather shoes to leave long drag marks on the ground. He then turned and snapped his right hand, spewing a stream of green acid at the black humanoid figure.
The figure in front suddenly stopped, causing the black humanoid to brake too late. It could only watch as the acid sprayed towards it. However, it was not panicked at all. Its pure black body split apart like smoke, and the acid sprayed through the cracks, not touching it at all.
"Such clumsy attacks can't touch me... You still..."
Suddenly, the black humanoid opened its mouth wide because Wen Wen had actually spread his left hand, five fingers open, in the path of the acid spray!
Meeting the obstruction of the palm, the acid sprayed out like a sprinkler towards the black humanoid. The dense acid made it impossible for the figure to dodge the range covered by the acid, no matter how it twisted its body!
The rain-like acid landed on the black humanoid, emitting sizzling white smoke. It began to be corroded!
The black skin was corroded away, revealing a hollow-like body within. There was nothing inside its body, only darkness.
"I was careless... To defeat me, you used one of your own hands as a price. You are truly insane."
"You win this time. It will be interesting when we meet again. You should wait for me."
After saying that, the black humanoid directly turned into smoke and dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.
When it lost its ability to resist, Wen Wen tried to drag it into the containment facility, but the facility showed no reaction to it!
Although this black humanoid couldn't attack, according to Wen Wen's experience, its strength was definitely not so low that the containment facility wouldn't react. Therefore, there was only one answer: he hadn't subdued this black humanoid yet!
"This is truly inexplicable!"
Wen Wen looked up at the sky. His mood, which had just been improving, became even worse.
At this moment, his left palm was reduced to mere white bone. Although the acid was released by him, he was not immune to it. To defeat the black humanoid, Wen Wen had to sacrifice one of his hands.
But fortunately, perhaps because the nerves were also numb, it didn't seem to hurt.
He raised his arm and used a dagger to cut away all the flesh contaminated with acid. The process made him grit his teeth in pain, but his hand holding the knife did not tremble at all.
After there was no acid residue left on his hand, granulation tissue grew at a visible speed. With a period of recuperation, this hand could be restored to its original state.
"I'm still too weak. I should be a hunter, not a salted fish who only shouts encouragement and occasionally picks up scraps. I must find a way to become stronger!"
The words left by the black humanoid before it disappeared gave Wen Wen a great sense of urgency. He had a feeling that when it reappeared before Wen Wen, it would definitely not be as easy to deal with as it was now.
"What is its purpose... Is it just to make me fall?"
...
Back home, Wen Wen collapsed onto the sofa. He was too lazy to tidy up the messy house.
He was restless. Uncle Gong's attack and the appearance of the black humanoid had completely disrupted his previously stable state of mind.
So, he opened his computer and started browsing detective websites to see what had happened in Furong River City recently, hoping to find something that interested him and distract himself.
Then, he saw a piece of news.
Furong River City Police Uncover Shocking Case; Fifteen Victims Killed Merely for Money!
Wu, a taxi driver, had, over several months, murdered passengers who took his taxi, taken their belongings, and buried the bodies under trees in a park near the car factory staff dormitory. Fifteen bodies had been found so far, and the families had come to identify them...
The nature of this case was extremely malicious and the circumstances extremely serious. The murderer, Wu, confessed to the crime without denial. The Furong River City Court sentenced Wu to death in the first trial...
The families of the fifteen victims jointly presented banners to the Furong River City Police Department and expressed their gratitude to Mr. Wen for providing important clues...
"Is this how the Hunter Association handles things... Coupled with memory erasure and information blockade, with so many cases happening every day, who can truly distinguish which ones were caused by monsters and which were man-made?"
After reading this news, Wen Wen's mood improved considerably. At least what he had done was meaningful.
"But speaking of which, where did that unlucky Mr. Wu come from?"
Just as Wen Wen was about to close the news to look at something else, an advertisement popped up on the computer.
"Half a month later, Furong River Paradise's 10th Anniversary Celebration! Huge activities await your participation... Why recommend this to me when I'm not a child? What a lunatic!"
This is how computers are nowadays; they often display inexplicable advertisements, which are extremely annoying. Wen Wen was too lazy to deal with these things...
...
The curtains were half-open, and the cold moonlight shone into the room. A man whose face could not be seen sat on a chair, playing with a wine glass filled with red wine in his hand.
The ceiling of this room seemed to be leaking. Water dripped onto the floor from time to time. The man didn't bother to deal with it, finding a kind of enjoyment in listening to the dripping sound.
"It's been ruined, tsk, I feel a little heartbroken... But even though it took a lot of my effort, it was just a toy... Hehe, Wen Wen... Will you be like me? I will come to see you."
"But that's for later. Now, we should discuss the problems between us. I really don't like you."
The man stood up and looked up at the ceiling.
On the ceiling, there was actually a fat middle-aged woman lying there!
The woman's body was pierced by several steel bars, nailed to the roof. What had been dripping from the roof earlier was not water, but blood!
The woman looked at the man with pleading eyes. She hadn't provoked him, and she didn't even know him. Why was he doing this to her?
Right, her mouth was sealed shut and could not open.
"That article you wrote online, the one that many people agreed with, I really dislike it. Originally, I thought you were such a proud and beautiful woman, but seeing how you look, I dislike you even more. So, you might as well stay here and mold."
The man waved at the woman and walked out of the room, leaving the helpless woman suspended on the roof.
He did all this simply because he found it interesting. As for his purpose?
He had no purpose!
