Heng An was fast asleep when his ears twitched, followed by the prickling of all the hair on his body.
He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, only to find a terrifying black shadow standing before him!
The shadow was clad in a loose black robe, its face obscured, but wisps of black energy coiled around it, making it clear it was no benevolent entity.
Upon seeing Wen Wen, Heng An actually relaxed.
He was wearing shackles that suppressed his superpower, so what use was tension? He was just there to be slaughtered anyway.
"Hmm... Seeing you in person, I realize your eyes are truly bright." To leave a good impression, Wen Wen smiled gently at Heng An.
However, he wasn't lying. Heng An's eyes reflected a faint blue fluorescence, like the eyes of a beast in the dark.
"Why isn't that old hag here today? Has her period finally given out?" Heng An lay back down, speaking with a touch of arrogance.
In this environment, verbal sparring was Heng An's driving force for endurance. Otherwise, he would have gone mad, if not surrendered, in these four months.
"I don't know who you're referring to as the old hag. I represent The Disaster Containment Facility, and we hope you will join us."
Heng An snorted and laughed, "The Disaster Containment Facility… You think I'll agree to join you just because you changed your name?"
Wen Wen shook his head and said, "You might be misunderstanding. I'm not from the Blasphemous Blood; I'm here to rescue you."
"Rescue..."
Heng An's eyes brightened for a moment, like two small light bulbs, but then dimmed.
"I'm not a three-year-old child who will believe anything you say. As soon as I have a chance to get out, I will kill all of you!"
Wen Wen remained undeterred and continued, "The mission of our Disaster Containment Facility is to discover threats, control threats, and contain threats. In a sense, it's similar to the Hunter Association."
Hearing about the Hunter Association piqued Heng An's interest. He had always wanted to become a demon hunter.
But for ordinary people without abilities, the Hunter Association was non-existent in all senses. That's why Heng An had searched in vain before.
"Look at your appearance, you don't look like a good person at all. And if you were truly who you claim to be, would they let you in?"
By posing the question, Heng An had already shown signs of being swayed, but he wasn't sure if Wen Wen's words were true.
"Actually, I haven't entered. And you might as well look behind you."
Heng An looked back and froze. He saw his own body.
In an instant, he understood that he was currently in a special state, and it was precisely this state that allowed the person before him to see him.
Wen Wen didn't say much more, as more words wouldn't ease Heng An's wariness.
For this young man who had persevered for over four months, any persuasion was futile, as everything here could potentially be a conspiracy.
"After I rescue you, I will come to you to sign a contract. I hope you won't refuse me then."
Only by truly granting him freedom could Wen Wen recruit him into the facility.
Wen Wen's visit today was merely to greet him beforehand, to prevent him from reneging on the deal once he was rescued.
Then, Wen Wen left Heng An's cell and began to wander around the place.
Utilizing this special state to investigate the internal situation of the facility was another of Wen Wen's objectives.
In this state, Wen Wen couldn't stray too far from Heng An, but he could still observe some of the surroundings.
First, he saw an ironclad figure sitting outside the dungeon. Wen Wen moved closer and discovered a furry face beneath the armor.
It was a mutated monster!
Wen Wen estimated its strength to be around the Catastrophe level. It was stationed here to guard Heng An.
Circumventing the monster, Wen Wen then spent some time wandering around the cells.
Within his range of activity, Wen Wen encountered three superhumans in the Assimilation realm. Although they were all lower-sequence Assimilation experts, similar to Mr. L in strength, they couldn't be underestimated by Wen Wen.
Besides them, there were also many monsters and superhumans below the Assimilation realm.
However, this did not exceed Wen Wen's expectations. Based on the intelligence he possessed, without such power, it wouldn't even be considered a branch of the Blasphemous Blood.
The Blasphemous Blood was the most rampant among all the secret organizations in the federation, frequently challenging the Hunter Association openly.
Their audacity naturally stemmed from their formidable strength, making them a significant threat to the Hunter Association. They had branches in every major region.
Each regional branch was overseen by at least one true-sequence expert of the Assimilation realm.
Then, there were several strong individuals in the upper and middle sequences, and at least dozens of superhumans in the lower-sequence Assimilation realm.
The outstanding individuals among the lower-sequence Assimilation superhumans were named after the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
For instance, Mr. A, Ms. B, or Person C.
The information above was almost public knowledge, but no one knew the true extent of the Blasphemous Blood's hidden power.
However, most of the Blasphemous Blood members were causing trouble outside, so the forces remaining here wouldn't be excessively formidable.
The dungeon was located about ten meters underground, and it would take some effort for Wen Wen to get Heng An out.
After gathering the basic information, Wen Wen returned to his own body.
"Excellent, now that everything is in place, all that's left is how to report this." Su Dan Novel Network
Wen Wen certainly wasn't planning to rescue him himself, as that would be suicidal. Therefore, he intended to report the incident and then rescue Heng An amidst the ensuing chaos. However, the method of reporting required careful consideration.
He couldn't simply call Lin Zheyuan like he did in Furong River City, expecting Lin Zheyuan to rush over and eliminate everyone from the Blasphemous Blood.
That was entirely unrealistic; Lin Zheyuan would be the one to be eliminated.
Wen Wen also couldn't inform the Yanling City Hunter Association. Who knew if they had informants from the Blasphemous Blood? He didn't even trust any of the high-ranking officials in the Dongshan Province Hunter Association.
If an ability group powerful enough to contend with the Dongshan Province Hunter Association was quietly lurking in Dongshan Province, then it wasn't impossible for the Dongshan Province Hunter Association's higher echelons to be infiltrated.
As a detective, Wen Wen's instinct was to suspect everyone who might be involved with the Blasphemous Blood. Therefore, he needed to report it in a way that was foolproof.
With that in mind, Wen Wen opened the Demon Hunter website and found the contact number for reporting incidents at the Huafu District Hunter Association Headquarters.
If the Huafu District Headquarters were compromised, Wen Wen would have nothing more to say.
However, this number was typically only accessible to roaming hunters. Ordinary hunters had to report through their local hunter associations, and Wen Wen, as an ordinary hunter, couldn't directly dial it.
Therefore, Wen Wen needed to find someone else to help him.
And that person was Ding Mingguang!
"Hello, Mingguang... Has your monkey recovered?"
Ding Mingguang, who was drinking wolfberry water, spurted it out, saying, "I've told you a hundred times, it's a programmer, not a monkey!"
Then, Ding Mingguang's expression turned lewd, and he winked at Wen Wen, asking, "Did you check out those websites I sent you earlier?"
Wen Wen coughed awkwardly. He could ask Ding Mingguang for those websites, or he could sneakily look at them himself, but discussing such things over the phone with someone felt undeniably embarrassing.
"Let's not talk about that for now. I need you to help me connect a call and encrypt it!"
