The Guide sat on a small stool, a warm smile gracing his face.
Many ordinary people around him saw him and returned his friendly smile, but no one found the Guide to be unusual, even with the large halo on his back.
Divinity was a peculiar thing, capable of easily distorting the minds of surrounding ordinary people and even low-level superhumans.
It was the Guide’s most basic application of his divinity to make himself unnoticeable, as was the case now.
The Guide was eager to see how long Wen Wen could hide.
Once Wen Wen emerged, he intended to have a good talk with him.
After all, in a sense, the Guide had once been part of the Containment Facility. Though his access had been revoked, he did not wish to completely alienate the organization.
His memory was not entirely complete, so he was unsure if pushing the Containment Facility too far would lead to new complications.
However, if he absolutely couldn't come to an agreement with Wen Wen… then he would have to kill him!
Since the Containment Facility had chosen to become history itself, why couldn't it remain in its downfall instead of attempting a revival?
Suddenly, the Guide froze, then scanned his surroundings, his brow furrowing.
He realized that seven True Sequence realm superhumans had already surrounded him!
"How could they be here? Did Wen Wen contact them? He should still be trapped in the Containment Facility…"
"Ah, I see. It's the phone… that little gadget humans recently invented. I miscalculated…"
"But this is for the best. With all the True Sequences here, no one will be able to stop Stein on the other side."
The Guide stood up and declared loudly to the crowd, "Do you know what I hate most about the Hunter's Association?"
Xun Qing impatiently said, "We don't want to play riddles with you. Who are you?"
The Guide did not answer Xun Qing. He unleashed a bright white light that engulfed an entire city block. Streets, pedestrians, and trees were all reduced to elementary particles under the luminescence.
The Guide, his expression icy, floated in mid-air, "I hate every single aspect of you!"
A fierce battle erupted in Nim City without any warning.
…
"Giving birth? You gave birth to this?"
Wen Wen poked the black fleshy mass with a small stick, his face full of curiosity.
Princess Hei Xue blushed, not from shyness but from anger. Didn't Wen Wen know better than her how this thing came to be?
"Tsk, how strange, how strange. I didn't expect you to give birth so quickly."
"There's a mythical legend in our Huafu Major District about a woman who was pregnant for three months and gave birth to a fleshy ball. From that ball emerged a little immortal. Could this black ball also contain a little baby?"
Wen Wen casually took out a steel knife and looked eager to try it on the black fleshy ball.
However, Wen Wen immediately recalled that when he shot Princess Hei Xue with the Gestation Bow, he had been thinking of Monkey's Paw. If this thing was also a bomb like Monkey's Paw, it would be disastrous if he stabbed it with a knife and it exploded.
"I'll take your baby to study it. You can focus on your confinement. Giving birth to something like this is not easy."
"Oh, right, you might not be familiar with this place yet. This is a good place, rent and utilities are all free, and we also teach you useful knowledge every day, so you can become useful monsters to society…"
Wen Wen rambled on as he dragged the black ball with chains, disappearing down the corridor.
Princess Hei Xue looked at the bizarre black ball without any maternal reluctance. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief that the thing was gone from her side. However, she was skeptical of Wen Wen's words; this place didn't seem as wonderful as he described.
Half an hour later, on the third floor of the Containment Facility, Wen Wen finally conducted his tests on the black fleshy ball.
First, although it looked like a fleshy ball, it was more akin to a bouncy ball. After being thrown, it would bounce back to its starting point upon hitting something.
Of course, its elasticity was not its primary attribute; its main attribute was poison!
Wen Wen tested it on several monsters. He first smashed it against Iswakazz, and Is immediately became dizzy and felt nauseous even now.
When it was smashed against a mid-sequence monster, it directly fainted, and it was unknown how long it would take to wake up.
If it hit monsters below disaster level, they might never wake up, just like Princess Hei Xue.
Although this black ball was born from Princess Hei Xue, who was currently only at disaster level, its poison originated from that peculiar apple, which Princess Hei Xue had intended to use to poison her upper-sequence mother, Queen Ice.
Therefore, it was entirely normal for it to possess such potent poison. Su Dan Novel Network
Through Princess Hei Xue's personal demonstration, Wen Wen had now confirmed that the Gestation Bow could indeed cause pregnant individuals to give birth, and the resulting offspring might carry some of the mother's supernatural power.
In the future, if Wen Wen wanted to mercy-kill monsters, he could first have them give birth to their supernatural powers before mercy-killing them.
However, this couldn't be used in combat. Powerful opponents capable of fighting Wen Wen could simply induce a miscarriage themselves to prevent the extraction of supernatural traits.
Therefore, Wen Wen planned to find a way to test a method that would immediately cause something to be born upon impact.
After fiddling around for a long time, Wen Wen realized it was getting late and called Xun Qing. He needed to confirm if the Guide was still waiting outside.
The call connected, and Wen Wen eagerly asked, "Hello, Old Xun? Did you catch that True Sequence?"
"They didn't catch me."
A familiar voice came from the phone, but it was not the one Wen Wen wanted to hear.
It was the Guide's voice!
Wen Wen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Seven True Sequences had made their move, and they still couldn't catch the Guide?
And how did Xun Qing's phone end up in the Guide's hands? Had he killed Xun Qing…
The voice on the other end sounded slightly weary, "Don't worry, that swordsman kid is fine. I just took his phone."
Wen Wen believed the Guide when he said that.
Because Xun Qing was always so carefree, constantly wearing his hunting terminal on his belt, Wen Wen wasn't surprised at all that it could be snatched.
The Guide cleared his throat and said, "I saw you enter the Containment Facility with my own eyes, and I've figured out your identity. So, there's no need for you to be secretive with me. Let's get straight to the point."
Wen Wen fell silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Who are you, and what is your purpose?"
He no longer denied his connection to the Containment Facility.
"You don't know my purpose?"
The Guide burst into loud laughter, seemingly relieved.
"If you don't know me, it means you haven't unlocked the fourth floor of the Containment Facility yet."
"I don't mind telling you directly. My name is Bai Du, but you might be more familiar with another title of mine. That title is… God's Bane."
