Wen Wen slumped back in his chair, a hint of lingering fear still present.
Under normal circumstances, the deep sea should not be so dangerous; otherwise, the secret realm passage of the Natural Will wouldn't be located at the seabed.
Therefore, the appearance of that thing was likely not an accident, but specifically targeted at Wen Wen.
And in the deep sea, the only one with a grudge against Wen Wen was the ancient god En Suk.
It was rumored that En Suk had been in a deep slumber, so that thing was either a manifestation of the ancient god's power or one of En Suk's subordinates or partners.
En Suk had been constantly monitoring Wen Li. It was possible that during the ritual, a portion of Wen Li's aura had seeped out, which led to En Suk targeting him on the return journey.
Wen Wen never forgot that En Suk's ultimate goal was him, but he had been sidetracked multiple times, diverting attention to Wen Li.
The ocean was En Suk's territory, so from now on, Wen Wen would not venture into the deep sea lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Unlike other Cataclysm-level beings, Wen Wen had always been wary of En Suk. This slumbering ancient god's power was definitely far beyond that of a Star God.
At that time, En Suk's consciousness as an ancient god had attempted to descend through the corrupted clown Grandi, with the involvement of the power of the 'Great Mother,' who was suspected to be of Cataclysm level.
Ordinary Star Gods would absolutely not receive such preferential treatment.
Wen Wen calmed his emotions. He had been genuinely scared just now, so he needed to find some amusement to settle his nerves.
As for how to return to Mosman Town, that wasn't a problem for Wen Wen. Before leaving, he had left his three young ones at the hotel, and Wen Wen could transfer back through the Containment Facility at any time.
And the activity that could lift Wen Wen's mood, of course, was interrogating the female assassin. Heh heh heh.
Perhaps the Containment Facility understood Wen Wen's intentions. When Wen Wen saw Nie Ying, she was suspended in mid-air in a T-shape by black chains, her posture somewhat undignified.
Don't misunderstand, she was a genuine girl, not some suspicious specimen.
That extra length was an armament belt for her short swords. She had ten shadow short swords, all of which Wen Wen had confiscated.
Considering Nie Ying might be needed for work in the future, Wen Wen had temporarily left her with four short swords. The remaining six were sold in the Containment shop, and Wen Wen kept two for himself to play with.
The ability of these short swords was to forcibly construct a small shadow environment, which was very convenient for Nie Ying, but not very useful for most other psychics.
Wen Wen had also tested Nie Ying's ability. She was quite adept at traversing and lurking in shadows, her speed reaching an extreme. Compared to the teleportation ability of the blue-skinned monster, they were about equal.
However, spatial abilities were easily targeted, and in certain special places, they couldn't be used.
Although the Shadow Affinity ability also had obvious weaknesses, it was very rare, so many psychics lacked means to counter it.
But since Wen Wen had already developed various ways to use his spatial abilities, he hadn't switched for now, planning to switch to Nie Ying's abilities when his spatial abilities failed.
Wen Wen pushed open the door and sat in front of her, idly twirling a long whip with a pink fluorescent handle and barbs, a knowing smile on his face.
"Heh heh, heh heh heh, little beauty, you're finally caught by me."
Calling her "little beauty" was purely for the moment; he didn't actually think Nie Ying was that beautiful. Her facial features were very delicate, but Wen Wen didn't like flat chests.
Nie Ying looked up, baring her teeth at Wen Wen. Although she was caught, an assassin never surrenders!
"Behave yourself!"
Wen Wen didn't hesitate to whip her. Nie Ying cried out loudly, tears and snot streaming.
As an assassin, she had imagined scenarios of being captured multiple times and had undergone rigorous training. She wouldn't cry out from ordinary interrogation methods…
Unless she couldn't help it.
What kind of devilish object was this whip? Why did it hurt so much?
"Hey, hurts, doesn't it? This is a good thing."
Wen Wen showed off his whip to Nie Ying like a child displaying a toy.
This was a special containment item captured by Old Tins, a containment specialist whose ability was 'summon a truckload of steamed buns.' It was named 'Universal Torture Device.'
The Universal Torture Device was an amorphous containment item that was pink and could transform into various torture instruments. Those who obtained it would develop a strong urge to torture.
Being struck by the Universal Torture Device would result in an unreasonably intense pain, and before Old Tins completed its containment, it had caused dozens of deaths.
However, within the Containment Facility, this Universal Torture Device behaved itself. In Wen Wen's hands, it was as docile as an ordinary tool.
This whip had arrived at the Containment Facility not long ago and was considered Wen Wen's new toy. It was perfect for interrogating Nie Ying.
"Heh heh, no matter how loud you scream, no one will come to save you."
Wen Wen first smirked, then his expression turned indignant, "We have no past grudges and no recent enmity, why did you say such offensive things to me!"
Nie Ying was taken aback. She thought Wen Wen would ask why she launched the attack, but he was actually bothered by the insults Nie Ying had hurled at him.
A wise woman knows when to yield to the present. Nie Ying blinked and said pitifully, "I said those things to provoke you, to make you reveal an opening so I could defeat you. Actually, you're not ugly at all, just a bit ordinary…"
"Ha, you expect me to believe that? Tell the truth!"
Wen Wen whipped her again, tearing through Nie Ying's waist area.
Nie Ying, unable to bear the intense pain, could only tell the truth: "Then I'll tell the truth. Those small eyes are really ugly. Look, puppies and kittens have big eyes to be cute, and rats have small eyes so everyone shouts to beat them. Isn't it normal for me to despise small eyes?"
"Is that the truth? The iron-eating beast also has small eyes." Wen Wen whipped her again, "I want you to tell the truth!"
Nie Ying felt wronged. What she had just said was the truth! The iron-eating beast's eyes were small, but it had large eye circles…
However, she didn't want to be whipped again, so she tentatively asked Wen Wen, "Then tell me, what is the truth?"
"You were jealous of my appearance, and that's why you maliciously slandered me."
Wen Wen took out a camera obtained from the Hunter Association and pointed it at Nie Ying. If she said this, it would be considered evidence.
"But…"
Nie Ying hesitated for a moment. To avoid further whipping, she finally spoke the words Wen Wen wanted to hear, against her conscience.
Wen Wen happily pocketed the video. With this, he could somewhat compensate for the sense of loss caused by being insulted.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Universal Torture Device transformed into a slender pink steel needle. Wen Wen held the steel needle, looking eager towards Nie Ying.
"Now let's discuss why you made a move against my maid!"
