Outside the walls lay a dilapidated factory, while within was a paradise on earth. Wen Wen wouldn't have doubted for a moment if someone had called it an angel's stronghold.
The walls, bricks, floor, streetlights, and flower pots, apart from the few ornamental plants, were all white.
Earlier, Wen Wen had observed the place from the sky with his Demonic Eyes, and it had appeared as an ordinary abandoned factory. But from the close-up perspective of a beetle, its magnificence was truly apparent.
It seemed these demons had employed some sort of concealment methods, preventing outsiders from easily perceiving the abnormality within.
The road was clean, devoid of even a single fallen leaf. A few workers in black vests diligently maintained the hygiene. Here, black signified low status, while white suits were the symbol of prestige.
Before Wen Wen could examine things closely, a broom swept him under the roots of a tree. The worker then prodded the beetle several times with the broom. In a place like this, even a beetle was conspicuous.
Wen Wen's vision and senses were linked to the beetle, and this series of actions felt like a hellish roller coaster ride.
The beetle's antennae and forelegs waved furiously at the worker. "I remember you, I remember you! I'm going to send you to find Hu Youling!"
The environment here made Wen Wen realize the difference between demons and other monsters. In the lair of any other monster, a discarded corpse might go unnoticed.
Next, Wen Wen guided the small beetle on a circuit around the processing plant.
Despite its short legs, the beetle was a supernatural artifact. With its tiny legs all moving in unison, its speed was quite considerable, certainly enough to evade the workers.
Having mapped out the layout of the processing plant, Wen Wen had the beetle return to him. Venturing deeper might lead to encounters with demons, and the chance of being discovered was too high.
However, the environment here sparked a flicker of suspicion in Wen Wen.
"If the demons were merely residing here, it would be understandable for the Kewei Group not to have noticed. But to transform this place to such an extent… it would require at least a large renovation crew, wouldn't it?"
"Furthermore, many of the Kewei Group's items remain here, not taken away. Even with the Kewei Group's vast resources, they wouldn't be this extravagant and wasteful."
Wen Wen suspected a connection between these demons and the Kewei Group, but it was only a suspicion. After all, with the demons' capabilities, anything was possible.
However, if Wen Wen submitted this suspicion, specialized assistants would investigate this particular point.
With his preparations complete, Wen Wen found a spacious, deserted spot to await the arrival of night.
The conflict between monster groups and demons felt more dramatic under the cover of darkness!
As the sun disappeared and the full moon rose, with glittering stars adorning the night sky, Wen Wen leaped onto a rooftop, gazing towards the demon residential area not far away, a smile gracing his lips.
He snapped his fingers, and a bracelet appeared on his wrist. His entire form instantly became incredibly bulky and, frankly, hideous. Wen Wen, after a long time, was once again using his philosophical form!
However, this time Wen Wen had prepared a robe for himself. Once donned, he no longer appeared quite so grotesque.
Once ready, Wen Wen snapped his fingers again. Four Catastrophe-class monsters and over twenty Disaster-class monsters materialized behind him.
All the humanoid monsters were clad in dark red robes with black crosses. The monsters that couldn't fit into robes were sprayed with red and black paint…
Angel, Yan Biqing, and Little Red Riding Hood, three Catastrophe-class monsters, stood at the forefront. The combined aura of these three overwhelmed all the Disaster-class monsters.
The Dungeon Monster, due to its immense size, stood at the very back. Although it wasn't wearing a robe, even those who had entered the underground labyrinth would likely not recognize it. With its high-speed evolution capabilities, it had long since evolved a form suitable for surface survival.
It now possessed four forelimbs and four hindlimbs, its head resembled a crocodile, its body a brown bear, and its tail was like that of a long-tailed monkey, albeit with three tails. Its body was covered in brown bear-like black fur, making it an entirely different creature from its former self.
Wen Wen meticulously inspected the assembled monsters, nodding in satisfaction. Xu Hai's craftsmanship was impeccable; each garment fit perfectly. It was just that his choice of color scheme might have been questionable. At first glance, they looked like perverts draped in bedsheets…
However, this minor issue was inconsequential. After contemplating some dialogue, Wen Wen cleared his throat and addressed them loudly:
"This is the first assembly of the 'Black Cross.' Show them your might! No monster captured and sent to containment is a coward!"
"Your mission targets are within this processing plant. Find them, defeat them, and plunder them!"
"Black Cross, depart!"
After listening to Wen Wen's impassioned declaration, the monsters responded weakly, "Oh…"
Wen Wen's words had failed to inspire them at all. However, just as things were about to turn awkward, the simple-minded Dungeon Monster lunged forward, attacking directly.
Born with the desire to destroy all living things, it could no longer restrain its urge to battle the demons.
Its four forelimbs and four hindlimbs moved in unison, like a heavy tank, charging straight towards the center. The high outer wall was easily breached by its charge, as fragile as a large block of tofu.
Wen Wen looked at the Dungeon Monster with satisfaction. Subordinates with simple minds were indeed the best. Otherwise, his previous speech might have fallen flat, which would have been incredibly awkward.
With a Catastrophe-class monster wreaking havoc, the scene was quite astonishing. Buildings collapsed under its powerful assault, and the entire demon residential area even trembled slightly.
The demons reacted instantly. A winged demon attempted to stop the Dungeon Monster but was immediately grabbed by its tail and violently flung away.
After being confined in containment for so long, it finally had the chance to unleash itself freely and would not miss this rare opportunity.
Upon seeing both Angel and the Dungeon Monster in action, Pu Guang Angel's eyes emitted a foot-long beam of white light. He was already immensely excited.
In Wen Wen's eyes, Pu Guang Angel now looked as if two foot-long glow sticks had been inserted into his eyes…
Witnessing demons once more after a millennium, the holy light within Pu Guang Angel surged. He flew high into the sky, circling the demon residential area.
Pure white feathers fell, making the entire residential area appear as if it were dusted with a thin layer of luminescence.
This luminescence could weaken the demons to a certain extent, ensuring greater success for the night raid plan.
Every angel was a natural war machine. When faced with enemies that needed to be eliminated, they instinctively executed the most reliable combat strategies.
Seeing that both Angel and the Dungeon Monster had been deployed, Yan Biqing cast a deep glance at Wen Wen before strolling towards the center of the factory.
To be released from that prison was something he had longed for, but the shackles on him meant that no matter how far he fled, he would be dragged back to that terrifying place.
Since he could not resist, he could only enjoy it to the fullest.
The last Catastrophe-class monster, Little Red Riding Hood, approached Wen Wen. She tugged at the hem of her clothes with both hands, biting her lip and widening her eyes as she looked at Wen Wen pitifully. "Um, can you give me back my cloak for now…"
