Wen Wen coughed lightly twice and said, "I have another question for you. If your answers satisfy me, I'll reward you with vengeful soul pearls."
The four ghosts listened obediently to Wen Wen's questions.
"I want to know if you had any dealings with a man in a white suit before you died?"
Upon hearing "white suit," the arsonist ghost and the TV ghost looked confused. The arsonist was a pure killer, and while the TV ghost's final moments were tragic, there was nothing peculiar about them.
However, the water ghost and Zhou Xun both showed thoughtful expressions, then shook their heads in unison, indicating they hadn't seen anyone in a white suit.
Comparing the reactions of the two groups of ghosts, Wen Wen understood; those men in white suits truly existed.
When encircling the ghosts in Furong River City, Wen Wen had vaguely sensed unseen forces behind many of the city's heinous crimes.
However, that was merely a nebulous guess, and Wen Wen had no evidence.
It wasn't until Wen Wen personally witnessed a man in a white suit attempting to sign a contract with the young man named Zhang Fan that he truly became aware of their existence.
Wen Wen had always kept these men in white suits in mind but had set them aside for various reasons, only getting a chance to inquire about them today.
Seeing the reactions of the two ghosts, Wen Wen realized that their reluctance to speak might be due to a contract.
With a contract in place, no matter how much Wen Wen asked, they would not dare to answer.
Answering could result in the contract's power killing them outright!
Wen Wen murmured, "Such a mysterious organization... what are their goals? How do they manage to remain unknown? And what is the purpose behind facilitating these terrible murders?"
Honestly, if Wen Wen hadn't directly questioned the two ghosts, he wouldn't have even confirmed the existence of those individuals, as he had only seen a vague silhouette until now.
But what Wen Wen didn't know was that the mysterious organization had already stumbled in his hands.
Wen Wen shook his head, no longer pursuing the matter of the white suits. Given their secretive methods, they were not something he could deal with at his current level.
He had no evidence to prove their existence, so he couldn't even get the Hunter Association to take notice. For now, he would focus on cultivating his ghosts.
Wen Wen coughed lightly and said to Zhou Xun, "Your answer satisfies me, so I will give you a great reward."
Zhou Xun looked bewildered. What had she answered?
The other three ghosts' eyes were brimming with jealousy.
In any case, Wen Wen was merely finding an excuse to cultivate Zhou Xun.
Wen Wen directly tossed a vengeful soul pearl into the cell. Zhou Xun's eyes lit up; whether she understood or not, she would accept the benefit.
She immediately jumped up, like a small dog, and snatched the pearl with her mouth, then swallowed it with enjoyment.
One pearl wasn't enough. Wen Wen watched her digest one before throwing another in, while Zhou Xun darted around the cell.
As she consumed more and more pearls, Zhou Xun's expression grew increasingly ferocious, transforming from a docile little female dog into a fierce she-wolf!
Upon devouring the twenty-seventh vengeful soul pearl, she completely lost her sanity, becoming a berserk vengeful spirit.
The wills of twenty-seven ghosts vied for control within her body, turning her into a grotesque entity, no longer youthful and beautiful.
However, Wen Wen was experienced with such matters. Using his Cataclysm-level power, he forcibly erased the other wills within her body.
Only Zhou Xun's original form remained, kneeling in the cell as external substances gradually formed a cocoon around her.
Given some more time, she should evolve into Wen Wen's second Cataclysm-level ghost, and his mental impact would become even more powerful!
He believed the mental impact of a Cataclysm-level entity would surely surprise him.
For the remaining pearls, Wen Wen distributed them to the water ghost and the TV ghost, respectively. The arsonist ghost, despite being the strongest, received none.
As he was leaving, Wen Wen told the TV ghost and the water ghost, "From now on, if you study diligently, you will have opportunities to receive vengeful soul pearls. Also, try to educate the new ghosts here and let them know how to get by."
After giving his instructions, Wen Wen didn't bother to see how the two ghosts would educate the arsonist. He, carrying a pile of items, went to the Cataclysm Zone cells to check on Yan Biqing's condition.
At this moment, the black charcoal on Yan Biqing's body had all fallen off, and his skin had begun to grow, though it hadn't covered all of it yet, making him look somewhat terrifying.
As a monster inhabiting a human body, his recovery speed was quite fast.
He had finished an entire pork leg, even chewing and swallowing the hard bones, his teeth comparable to San Zaier's.
Now, he was huddled in a corner, glaring at Wen Wen with eyes that glowed green.
As for why he was huddled in a corner,
everyone knew that his skin had been charred to charcoal before, and if his skin was in such a state, his clothes would naturally have turned to ashes as well...
"Who... are you? Why am I here?" Yan Biqing asked in a hoarse voice, still somewhat confused about the situation.
Wen Wen said sinisterly, "Heh heh, who I am is not important. What's important is that you'll be staying here from now on."
To avoid unnecessary trouble, apart from the initial few monsters, Wen Wen's face was generally not seen by later monsters within the containment facility. This was to prevent future containment personnel from inferring Wen Wen's identity through the monsters.
Yan Biqing snorted coldly twice and said, "Heh heh."
No matter who the person in front of him was, at least his life was saved for now. As soon as he recovered to a certain extent, he would escape from here.
Wen Wen tapped the cell bars and said, "You're probably planning to escape, right? I advise you to give up on that idea. This is a place beyond your imagination."
Yan Biqing remained silent, not wanting to say anything.
Wen Wen smiled slightly, generously opened the cell door, and walked in, delivering the prepared items.
A large slab of roasted pork ribs, a bucket of clear water, and a stack of textbooks...
There were no service personnel in the Cataclysm Zone for the time being, so Wen Wen had to take care of Yan Biqing's food and drink himself. Su Dan Novel Network
Yan Biqing frowned. He understood the food and water, but what were those textbooks for?
"What is this? Are you insulting me by giving me these things?"
Yan Biqing possessed all the knowledge of his previous life, so he naturally felt these items were meant to mock him.
"Oh, these are for you to pass the time. If you study hard and improve daily, you'll find joy in your life at the containment facility," Wen Wen explained earnestly.
Yan Biqing really wanted to kill Wen Wen right now, but he suppressed his impulse.
He hadn't fully recovered yet, and he didn't know the situation here.
After delivering the items and briefly checking Yan Biqing's physical condition, Wen Wen prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he turned his head and said to Yan Biqing, "Ah, there's something I forgot to tell you. In this prison, there's one thing you must remember:"
"Never try to defy me!"
As he finished speaking, black energy, almost palpable, emanated from Wen Wen. The immense pressure instantly changed Yan Biqing's expression, and he involuntarily pressed himself further into the corner.
"Hurry up and recover your health, so you can be of use." Wen Wen's figure gradually receded, leaving Yan Biqing alone.
Yan Biqing angrily slammed the wall, "Damn it... a Cataclysm-level monster? Why was I captured and brought here? What is his objective..."
