Wen Wen asked in surprise, "With such a large number of escaped monsters and their formidable strength, it's unreasonable that they are still unheard of."
The man in the metal suit chuckled, "The facilities back then were not as benevolent as yours. Those monsters that managed to escape probably wouldn't dare reveal their true identities."
Thinking about it carefully, Akalu had indeed been wandering the world for a thousand years without drawing attention.
Furthermore, from the look of surprise mixed with fear on his face when he discovered Wen Wen was a Containment Officer, one could roughly guess what terrifying events they had experienced.
The thought of dozens of enemies outside eyeing the facility made Wen Wen's scalp tingle.
Previously, Wen Wen thought his containment facility had expanded enough. But if all the Containment Officers were brought out to fight Akalu's group, his side would likely be wiped out in seconds…
"The facility's strength is still not enough. The Containment Officers should also improve their abilities."
Wen Wen recalled the Maze in the Mirror guarded by Jidro. Perhaps he could utilize that place to find a way for the Containment Officers to improve their strength.
He also needed to make Red Beard work overtime to produce more extraordinary items in the containment shop…
While Wen Wen was contemplating, the man in the metal suit answered the third question, "Since you already know my name, there's no need for us to keep secrets from you."
"I was once known as the King of Iron, with a strength of Cataclysmic level, even stronger than your current state within the facility…"
"However, I also lost a lot of power to contain that monster back then, so my strength is far from what it used to be. I can only recover my original strength once the facility is restored to a certain extent."
"The other two are in a similar situation. The woman on the second floor is named Nivia, once known as the Light of Life. The water mass on the third floor is the living water spirit, Isweet…"
"Then… what about the fourth and fifth floors?" Wen Wen asked curiously.
The man in the metal suit hesitated for a moment, then said to Wen Wen, "There is no central administrator on the fifth floor. As for the guy on the fourth floor, you'll know when you meet him. He was once called the Scourge of Gods and Demons!"
Wen Wen stroked his chin and said, "Scourge of Gods and Demons… it sounds powerful."
"As for why we didn't tell you our identities… we are just remnants from a thousand years ago. Without our original strength, why should we hold onto our former titles?"
Although the man in the metal suit's answers still had some unclear points, they were generally satisfactory to Wen Wen, who didn't press him further.
As he was leaving, Wen Wen asked the man in the metal suit, "By the way, there's one thing I'm very curious about. What did you do to Akalu that made it hate you so much and say it wanted to tear you apart alive?"
The man in the metal suit thought for a long time but couldn't recall which Akalu it was. It wasn't until Wen Wen mentioned Akalu's fondness for planting Higanbana flowers that he remembered.
"Oh, you mean that little deer. It can plant a special kind of Higanbana flower. The medicinal properties of those flowers can effectively promote wound healing."
"Back then, I allocated some land for it in the facility and found some fertilizer for it to grow Higanbana. But it refused, so I beat it into a pile of fertilizer."
Wen Wen pondered, feeling something was amiss. A single beating shouldn't cause a thousand years of resentment. "May I ask, what kind of fertilizer are you talking about…"
The man in the metal suit said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's shit!"
"Shit…"
Wen Wen was speechless. He then thought about it and found it made sense, as before the invention of chemical fertilizers, animal manure was the finest fertilizer…
He mourned Akalu's fate for a moment, then his mind turned to Akalu's planting ability. How great it would be if the facility could produce healing potions, but unfortunately, he hadn't captured that fellow.
Next, Wen Wen visited the second and third floors. He asked the woman in the green light dress, Nivia, and the water tadpole, Iswet, on the third floor the same questions. Their answers were consistent with the man in the metal suit, which proved that Jin Kela had not deceived Wen Wen.
Afterward, Wen Wen returned to a prepared prison cell, rested briefly, and then brought the metal container from his back to his chest.
He poured all the blood inside into a jar, cut his wrist, and began to draw blood again.
Wen Wen would not waste the blood that was poured out; he would use it for other purposes.
After filling the jar with blood, Wen Wen's body swayed slightly, and then he patted the metal container, saying,
"I'm treating you like this, you better perform. If you're no good, I'll use you to haul manure…"
The sword embryo trembled gently. To Wen Wen, this seemed like fear, but if it could speak, it would be cursing.
Wen Wen sat down cross-legged, placing his hand beneath the metal container. His power permeated the sword, constructing sword energy circuits and transmitting his strength.
While nurturing this sword, Wen Wen primarily used the power of his 'Dark Body' and the berserk energy he generated. Through such day and night cycles, a usable longsword could be forged.
After nurturing it for a full four hours, Wen Wen finally stood up.
He opened his phone and contacted Barcode and Feng Ruixing, asking them to come to the facility.
After the battle with Red Beard, Wen Wen had recruited Barcode as a Containment Officer through a mark he had placed on him beforehand.
When Barcode parted ways with Wen Wen, he had fled to a southern island in the Huafu District and was staying at a high-end hotel with a woman, thinking that Wen Wen would never find him again.
That woman was the mistress of a big shot in the Bai Xiong District. When Barcode was on a mission in the Bai Xiong District, he had killed that big shot but was then pursued by the big shot's body double, leading to a series of passionate and hateful entanglements with this woman, ultimately bringing them together.
One night, after finishing, Barcode went to the restroom to relieve himself, only to find Wen Wen sitting on the toilet lid, looking at him with a half-smile, which nearly scared him to death.
Under Wen Wen's terrifying pressure, Barcode agreed to any conditions Wen Wen proposed that day and had no intention of running away again.
That day, Wen Wen instructed him to find the new and old lairs of the Encoding Organization, as well as all their important strongholds. Wen Wen intended to send people to help Barcode reclaim the Encoding Organization.
However, after being reclaimed, the Encoding Organization would no longer be an assassin organization but an executive agency under the SRS Foundation!
Therefore, after only a few days of pleasant living, Barcode returned inland, toiling for Wen Wen…
