If Rodney's sanity had been intact, he would have surely realized that Wen Wen was inquiring about their base's location. However, at this moment, he couldn't think of anything else, only that Wen Wen was asking about trivial matters.
Following this, Wen Wen continued to use a similar tactic, subtly probing the rapidly declining intellect of Rodney, who, like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, revealed everything to Wen Wen without any concealment.
From the small details of how many people they had, to the strength of their strongest member and the type of their abilities, Wen Wen now had a general idea of everything.
The only issue was that Wen Wen felt an inexplicable sense of shame in tricking someone with a low IQ, akin to taking candy from a child by exploiting their intelligence.
However, as he kept doing unscrupulous things, he eventually got used to it. In the end, Wen Wen even managed to inquire about their leader, Faceless Demon's, peculiar hobbies.
After concluding the interrogation, Wen Wen gave Rodney a little surge of madness, allowing him to briefly enjoy himself as a reward. He then proceeded to another cell, snapped his fingers, and summoned the magic mirror Gidro. Now, he needed to verify the truthfulness of Rodney's words.
"I want to see the abandoned battery processing plant of the Ke Lu Group in the southern suburbs of Lu Gang City... Project the view from a hundred meters in the air!"
As soon as he spoke, Gidro acted. Above the abandoned processing plant on the target ground, a small eye, entirely composed of magic and possessing wings, slowly materialized.
The magic mirror's ability, if used to spy on superhumans inside buildings or eavesdrop on their conversations, was a pipe dream. This was because the magic eye it condensed was far too conspicuous.
However, for observation in the wilderness, it was incredibly useful. Just as Wen Wen was doing now, a small eyeball at a hundred meters distance would be difficult for the demons in the battery factory to detect.
Ordinary superhumans, whose senses couldn't extend a hundred meters, could, like Wen Wen, do so when necessary, but the energy consumption would be too great. Normally, their senses would only surround them within twenty to thirty meters.
Subsequently, Wen Wen manipulated the magic eye, continuously magnifying the images it saw, and eventually discovered people in white suits moving within the factory!
"Target, locked!"
Wen Wen maneuvered the magic eye to hover overhead for a while, cross-referencing the acquired information with Rodney's, and finally confirmed the target.
If it were the usual Wen Wen, he would probably have reported this now, but this time he didn't. He planned to report it only after he had personally gained enough benefits.
Moreover, he had a bold idea he wanted to try.
...
Wen Wen asked Xu Hai, "The clothes I asked you to make, are they all done?"
"Completely made according to your wishes, Master. I guarantee they meet your requirements," Xu Hai replied, bowing obsequiously. He then opened a large chest for Wen Wen.
This chest was filled with large, red and black hooded robes. The fabric used was of the best quality available on the market. Although not comparable to some super-materials, it was still strong and durable.
Making clothes was another hobby of Xu Hai, besides creating small puppets. Someone who could create hyper-realistic dolls naturally possessed the ability to make clothes for them.
These clothes were all primarily red, with a large inverted cross on the back. This was the uniform Wen Wen intended for the monsters he would dispatch on missions.
In the future, when the monsters under Wen Wen's command went out to execute orders, Wen Wen would have them wear these robes. Wen Wen wanted to fabricate a new monster force.
And this monster force would be affiliated with the Cataclysm-level powerhouse, 'Black Cross,' which was Wen Wen's strongest alias, Disaster Jail Warden.
Yes, this time Wen Wen planned to lead his monsters to attack the demon's stronghold!
According to the intelligence obtained from Rodney, the leader of this group of demons possessed the strength of a Mid-Cataclysm level, with four Lower-Cataclysm level demons under his command. The number of Calamity-level and Disaster-level monsters was at least twenty to thirty, or even more.
If Wen Wen relied only on himself, at most he could only conduct sneak attacks, grab some benefits, and flee. After doing this a couple of times, these demons would definitely relocate.
Alternatively, they would report him to the Hunter Association, and he would be eliminated like the Blood of Blasphemy was besieged. However, in this case, Wen Wen would only receive negligible benefits.
Neither of these methods would allow Wen Wen to gain significant profits.
Therefore, Wen Wen planned to first use his monsters to launch an attack, while simultaneously reporting it under the guise of a Wandering Hunter. Then, before the Hunter Association arrived, he would try to extract the maximum benefits with his monsters.
After the association's reinforcements arrived, he would use the containment facility for evacuation, leaving the severely damaged demons to be dealt with by the Hunter Association.
This way, he could gain the maximum benefits, verify the strength of the monsters he possessed, and finally maximize the eradication of these demons. It was indeed killing three birds with one stone.
In terms of strength, Wen Wen's side was not much inferior to those demons; in fact, it could be said to be evenly matched.
When he himself used the Twelve-Layered Philosophical Bracelet, he could be considered a Mid-Cataclysm level superhuman. And the other monsters he held were at a similar level to those demons!
As the number of containment personnel increased, they had been continuously capturing monsters for the containment facility. Although there were still only the four Cataclysm-level monsters that Wen Wen had personally captured, the number of Calamity-level and Disaster-level monsters had significantly increased.
And these low-level monsters, since Wen Wen could only utilize half of their strength, were often useless. This situation was perfect for them to show their worth.
Finally, the monster study activities that Wen Wen had been consistently holding had created a good atmosphere among the monsters. Although these monsters hadn't turned good, they had become much more obedient than before.
Having made up his mind, Wen Wen carried the large chest and appeared at the prison area of the Disaster zone. He intended to implant the chains into the monsters in the Disaster zone first.
The monsters in the Calamity zone were too weak, and Wen Wen did not intend to send them out in such a large operation. The monsters in the Cataclysm zone were too strong, and it would be better to be more proficient in the method of implanting chains before dealing with them.
Wen Wen's first target, of course, was Tao Qingqing, whom he kept as a pet. Being able to go out for a walk was a good thing for these monsters, and good things should always be considered for those close to him first.
When Wen Wen walked into Tao Qingqing's cell, she was wearing a cute green dinosaur pajamas, sitting on the carpet in a duck-legged pose, licking a popsicle made of fresh blood while watching a soap opera.
After being confined by Wen Wen for so long, Tao Qingqing was increasingly developing into a typical homebody. At first, her favorite shows were those that were gloomy and full of bitterness, but now they were becoming increasingly normalized.
Upon noticing Wen Wen's arrival, Tao Qingqing took off the dinosaur hood, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Wen Wen, who stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the cell, and said, "Did you bring me anything good again this time?"
"Yes, something very good."
Wen Wen, with his hands behind his back, fiddled with the sinister black chains. He felt a pang of reluctance at the thought of implanting such cold chains onto such an adorable little pet...
