Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 396 The Society of Truth

Wen Rui adjusted his attire, walked to Wen Wen's opposite, placed his right hand over his heart, made a complex gesture, and bowed slightly, saying, "Since you are not Wen Wen, then I was somewhat impolite just now."

"You don't seem to know much about us, so I will briefly introduce myself. We are followers of knowledge and wisdom, explorers of mysteries and rules, servants of the omniscient and omnipotent God who created and manages the fundamental principles of the universe's operation."

"We are for &

"I don't know why you attacked this museum, but we are just a group of scholars. We don't want to blindly conflict with another disaster-level existence. If possible, I would like us to maintain relative peace."

Wen Wen gave Wen Rui a deep look, as if saying a final farewell, then his body gradually blurred and vanished into the air, leaving behind a single word.

"Yes."

This blurry disappearance was one of the new functions that appeared after the Containment Facility was upgraded to disaster level. When Wen Wen entered the Containment Facility, he no longer had to disappear abruptly but could choose from various special effects.

After Wen Wen disappeared, Wen Rui stood there for a while before taking out his notebook to record. After finishing, he sat on the bench in Wen Wen's favorite posture and took out a crystal ball.

In the crystal ball, the scene of the conversation was repeatedly played!

"When I mentioned Luo Ying, although he showed no expression, the fist he had behind his back clenched and trembled. He was angry..."

"If he wasn't Wen Wen, why was he angry just now? If he was... how did he become a completely different person?"

Then he put down the crystal ball and sighed, saying, "But whether it was or not, he definitely heard that conversation just now. He must hate me to death."

"But what can I say? Should I say I went back then and investigated the cause of her death..."

"Then what should I do? Should I choose forgiveness or revenge?..."

"I can only pretend I know nothing..."

After being melancholic for less than five minutes, Wen Rui stood up. The slight hint of warmth on his face gradually disappeared, and he muttered coldly to himself:

"From the day of my feigned death, I had already decided to abandon everything, only to pursue the ultimate truth. It's fine if he hates me, because then I can truly devote myself wholeheartedly to the ocean of knowledge."

"When I become 'Professor,' everything will change!"

On the highway outside Qingchuan City, a small snake wiggled its head and drove forward, listening to loud music. Sudan Novel Network

The car this time was not driven very steadily, as the effects of drinking too much hot pot broth had not completely worn off.

In the back seat of the car sat a giant human-like insect. Its terrifying appearance was enough to scare normal people into peeing themselves, and to make those who were peeing rush back.

However, the large insect was merely a mascot. It wouldn't react even if circles were drawn on its shell. It was, naturally, a carrion demon that had been mentally impaired for a long time.

Suddenly, Wen Wen appeared out of thin air in the back seat. San Zai'er saw Wen Wen and was about to rub against him with its tail when it sensed that Wen Wen was like a suppressed volcano at the moment, so it dared not do anything.

Before heading to the museum, Wen Wen had placed the carrion demon in the car and had San Zai'er drive away from Qingchuan City.

This way, after he finished his business, he could return directly to the car. If anything beyond his control happened at the museum, he would have an alibi.

But he never expected that this incident would escalate to such an extent that he actually used the power of the Disaster狱督 to directly confront that museum.

He had coincided with the appearance of the Black Cross time and time again. With such weak alibi evidence this time, although it wouldn't directly incriminate him with the Black Cross, he would at least be subject to some suspicion.

Therefore, he planned to arrange for the monsters in the Containment Facility to cause trouble elsewhere after this incident was over, which would help clear some of his suspicion.

When he returned to the Containment Facility, he also brought those four monsters into it. The museum had so many powerful collections, even though all four of them were disaster-level monsters, they only managed to bring back two items for Wen Wen.

One was a music box, and the other was an ancient book.

However, Wen Wen did not examine what these two items were and directly confined them to the Containment Facility. He was not in the mood for it now.

After recalling the carrion demon, Wen Wen told San Zai'er, "Stop at the first roadside restaurant."

In order to create an alibi, he needed someone to see him... and he wanted to drink!

San Zai'er had no choice but to drive obediently. Before long, they encountered a roadside diner.

Wen Wen got out of the car and entered the small restaurant. A middle-aged woman with hair that was already turning gray enthusiastically greeted Wen Wen, but Wen Wen ignored her. He went directly to the counter, grabbed a few bottles of liquor, sat at a table in the corner, and began to drink the high-proof white liquor as if it were plain water.

The woman's face immediately sank. Had she encountered someone looking for trouble?

But when she looked at the table, her eyes couldn't move. A wad of cash appeared where Wen Wen's hand had been!

Wen Wen did not use his supernormal abilities to resist the alcohol, but even without them, his body was too powerful. After drinking two bottles of white liquor, he only felt a sting but no hint of intoxication.

The meeting with Wen Rui was, to him, the greatest blow.

Having lost both parents had been a persistent knot in his heart for many years. Just as he finally faced this heart problem and was about to heal it, his father, whom he thought had been dead for nine years, reappeared and reopened his nearly healed wound!
