Two hours later, Wen Rui stretched, all his fatigue vanished, and the injuries he had sustained had disappeared.
He looked at Wen Wen at the door in surprise, his expression questioning.
"I didn't have time to wait for you to wake up slowly, so I found someone to treat you."
"Regarding the Great Sage, I need you to tell me everything, without any omissions."
Wen Rui smiled, "This doesn't seem like the proper attitude towards a father, but we are not exactly a normal father and son, so I won't hold it against you."
"You should have guessed it, the power the Great Sage uses is very similar to the power in your body that you inherited from me. This power comes from a supreme being in the inner world."
Wen Wen nodded, these were things he had already suspected.
"When I was at my wit's end, I found the Truth Society. The Great Sage was very interested in my power, so he took away the source of the power that caused my intermittent madness."
"As for the remaining mad power, I only need to replace it with a strong desire for knowledge to eliminate all hidden dangers."
"Your mad power, however, was too weak. As long as your superpower is sealed and you are prevented from awakening normally, you will be safe and sound."
"But it seems the seal on you has disappeared. Someone powerful must have helped you." Sudan Novel Network
Wen Wen fell silent. That powerful person was no longer here.
"I thought this matter would just pass, but a while ago I discovered that most of the people in the Truth Society were controlled by a strange power."
"And this power comes from my former power."
"I know the people of the Truth Society. After the Great Sage took away that power, he must have researched it. But he overestimated himself and underestimated the danger of this power."
"So he was completely corrupted..."
"It might not be entirely accurate to say this, but my power alone was not enough to corrupt a Cataclysm-level expert and twist them to this extent."
"Perhaps during his research, he connected with that supreme being, which is why he was completely corrupted."
Wen Rui was honest, hardly beating around the bush, and told Wen Wen all the information he had.
This also included some of his research on infected individuals, which gave Wen Wen a basic understanding of the Great Sage's power.
Wen Rui's strength was less than one percent of Wen Wen's current strength. It was truly difficult for him to obtain so much information under the Great Sage's pressure.
"Alright, I've said all I can say. You can go save the world now."
Wen Wen stood up and walked to the door of the cell. Just as he was about to step out, he paused.
He stood at the door of the cell for over a minute, his back to Wen Rui, and said,
"I know why you never showed up. I saw that scene from back then again. You thought I killed Mother... so I was wrong to blame you before."
"Mother's death was indeed related to me, but I didn't kill her... I just didn't manage to save her in time."
Wen Rui's expression froze for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Then he suddenly laughed, "So that's how it is, haha, so that's how it is... But what's the point of telling me this now? I don't care anymore."
He wasn't lying. He knew what reaction he should have, but he couldn't put on that expression.
In order to fight against madness and pursue the end of knowledge, Wen Rui had sacrificed too many useless things. His reason for seeking Wen Wen's help this time was not due to father-son affection, but because he knew only Wen Wen could save him.
However, to say he had no feelings left would be preposterous; he was just less sensitive to these things.
"Is that so... Then you stay here for a while. It's absolutely safe here. When this is over, we'll have a good chat."
...
Emerging from the containment facility, Wen Wen checked the time and flew towards the territory of the Night Knight, the underground technological fortress.
The usually bustling underground factory was very quiet this time. Wen Wen didn't see a single person.
Following the guidance of the message from the Night Knight, Wen Wen arrived in a spacious room.
Some mechanical devices in the room suddenly rose up, some spraying water at Wen Wen, and others emitting light.
Wen Wen underwent rigorous checks here, the veins on his forehead bulging one by one. He felt a desire to destroy the entire place...
After the entire process was completed, Wen Wen finally met the Night Knight. He saw him sitting in a chair, smiling at Wen Wen.
"Explain to me what's going on!" Wen Wen asked angrily.
The Night Knight spread his hands innocently, "Although you told me about this matter, I can't rule out the possibility that you've also been infected, so I need you to go through these machines too."
"Don't feel unbalanced. I went through this setup when it was first developed."
The method of detecting infection was developed by the Night Knight working overtime after obtaining samples from Ye Haimo.
Of course, these detection equipment were all readily available and were the top-tier in the federation.
To research the weaknesses of some monsters, the Night Knight had long ago invested heavily to build this room. His research was only about the conditions under which the power would be detected.
"Although I successfully researched how to detect the trace of this power, the required equipment is too extensive and the detection costs are too high, even if it can only accommodate a few people."
The Night Knight sighed. After returning to this base, he had sent all his employees home to rest. In this situation, he trusted no one.
After parting ways with Wen Wen, he didn't go to capture monsters but first researched the detection method. Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to trust Wen Wen.
Wen Wen shook his head helplessly, "You don't have to go this far."
The Night Knight retorted, "Only by being sufficiently cautious can one go further. Not everyone can tell who is problematic just by looking."
"However, I predict that the number of people controlled by the Great Sage is not yet large enough, otherwise he would have flipped the table. What we need to do is find a method for large-scale detection before he flips the table."
Wen Wen scratched his cheek. The Night Knight's thoughts coincided with his own.
However, he had already found a solution to this problem, a method told to him by Wen Rui.
He took out a pair of glasses and said to the Night Knight, "Mass-producing your detection equipment quickly is basically impossible. But you should be able to mass-produce these glasses."
