Back at The Disaster Containment Facility, Wen Wen immediately got to work recruiting containment personnel.
This time, he needed to recruit quite a few, and each one required careful selection and observation.
It wasn't necessary to recruit purely good-hearted individuals, but at the very least, they shouldn't be scumbags who would cause trouble or idiots destined to mess things up.
As such, Wen Wen spent a considerable amount of time and effort, taking a full three days to send out all the invitations.
The scope of containment personnel Wen Wen was recruiting this time was vast. Apart from You Han, he didn't know any of the other superpowered individuals he had in his sights.
These included veteran demon hunters from the Hunter's Association, as well as superpowered individuals like Lin Huan who were living in hiding among the populace for various reasons.
There were even superpowered individuals who, due to unavoidable circumstances, had been forced to join secret organizations. Though they dwelled in the shadows, they harbored a constant desire to betray their masters.
The Blood of Blasphemy, the Church of Glory, the Dead Speak Society… Wen Wen had extended invitations to four superpowered individuals from different secret organizations.
After three busy days, Wen Wen had sent out nearly thirty invitations for containment personnel, but he wasn't sure how many would receive a response.
Still, he expected at least seventeen or eighteen. With so many containment personnel joining, the team would grow. It would take some time for them to gel before Wen Wen could proceed with the next phase of expansion.
Some candidates would reject Wen Wen's invitation, but Wen Wen wasn't worried. Within a certain period after receiving an invitation, if they didn't agree, the invitation would disappear, and they would forget about the related content.
"In two more days, it's time for the containment personnel gathering. I'm quite curious how many people will show up. The assembly hall, which can accommodate over a thousand people, has always been too empty. This time, it might be a bit livelier."
...
The next morning, Gu Dapeng found Lin Huan and paid the remaining ninety thousand yuan.
He had to admit, if other demon hunters charged at this standard, the Hunter's Association would likely go bankrupt...
Normally, if he received such a sum, he would go on a splurge. However, he was now entangled in the dilemma of whether to join The Disaster Containment Facility. Sudan Novel Network.
If he didn't join The Disaster Containment Facility, then he might truly, as he had said before, work for a while, save enough money, and retire to his hometown.
But the situation had changed. Lin Huan now knew that his abilities could be further developed, which made his mind race with thoughts of The Disaster Containment Facility, as if grass were growing there.
He had repeatedly studied the containment contract for over a day. After various speculations, he concluded that as long as the contract wasn't fake and he wouldn't suffer any losses, he finally signed his name on it.
The moment he signed his name, Lin Huan fainted.
When he woke up again, he didn't need any tests to immediately sense the changes in his body.
He had become stronger, and even his breathing was much smoother. For the first time since his birth, he felt so wonderful.
Lin Huan had suffered from osteogenesis imperfecta since childhood, making him prone to fractures. He was raised like a porcelain doll. Due to his limited mobility, he especially enjoyed fantasizing.
Later, he witnessed his father's death firsthand. His powerful imagination constantly replayed that scene in his mind. Through continuous terrifying fantasies, he awakened the ability to construct frightening illusions.
It was also because of his congenital condition that he overcame osteogenesis imperfecta and became a superpowered individual.
However, precisely because of his innate limitations, his body remained frail even after becoming a superpowered individual.
Normal superpowered individuals, let alone those with enhanced physiques, even those who primarily focused on their abilities, had bodies much stronger than ordinary people. With a little training, they could easily defeat a Master Ye.
But if Lin Huan were to engage in close combat, he might not even be able to defeat a high school student.
And now, he felt full of strength!
No, not just strength; his abilities also seemed to have undergone some changes.
He could now enhance illusions, and the damage suffered by the opponent within the illusion would also feedback to reality to some extent!
As long as the opponent lacked the ability to directly break through the illusion, they would be at Lin Huan's mercy!
"With such abilities, I no longer have to hide in the shadows like a mouse and scare people. I can use illusions to kill them!"
This was Lin Huan's dream for the several years he had run his Supernatural Detective Agency. By simply signing his name, he had achieved this dream, which filled Lin Huan with immense joy.
At the same time, his curiosity about The Disaster Containment Facility grew even greater.
Following the instructions provided on the contract, he entered The Disaster Containment Facility physically for the first time.
As soon as he entered the facility, the first thing he saw was the man in the metallic suit standing on the platform in the central area.
The man in the metallic suit waved at Lin Huan, and Lin Huan obediently walked over. He could feel a powerful aura emanating from this quasi-human entity, an aura that could crush him.
Looking at Lin Huan approaching, the man in the metallic suit felt a genuine sense of joy.
Over these three days, many new containment personnel had arrived gradually. With the addition of these vibrant new recruits, The Disaster Containment Facility was slowly regaining its vitality.
If it continued to develop at this pace, perhaps one day, the facility could return to its former glory!
"Welcome, new containment personnel. Your codename is 72609. Please collect your..."
Through this procedural conversation, Lin Huan gained a basic understanding of The Disaster Containment Facility and received a set of equipment.
In addition to the containment personnel uniform and chains for restraining monsters, there was also a black cloak.
When worn, a black symbol in the pattern of a containment personnel badge would appear in front of the face. This symbol concealed the face while not obstructing the containment personnel's vision.
As the number of containment personnel grew, Wen Wen had also put thought into how to conceal their identities.
They could form small circles with familiar containment personnel, but no single containment personnel should know everyone's identity, as that would be too dangerous.
Therefore, he had specially made these cloaks, which could interfere with sight and distort voices. Coupled with the atmospheric interference at the gathering venue, it was enough to prevent containment personnel from discerning each other's identities.
With Wen Wen's current proficiency in runes, creating these cloaks was not difficult.
He had simply made some modifications to existing robes while manufacturing spears, thus completing the production of these items.
After receiving the cloak, Lin Huan thanked the man in the metallic suit and was about to explore The Disaster Containment Facility thoroughly.
Before he left, the man in the metallic suit reminded him, "There's a containment personnel gathering this afternoon, which will be very helpful for newcomers like you. Be sure to attend."
"A containment personnel gathering? I'll get to see other containment personnel? I'm a little excited."
