Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 535 A Wife's Sentence

Wen Wen casually released the bald boss from his restraints, then placed the four props on the table. He walked over to the bald boss and tucked several banknotes into the collar of his shirt.

"I, Wen Li, never eat or drink for free."

The bald boss watched Wen Wen walk up the stairs, finding it both amusing and exasperating. *If you're going to give me money, fine, but why stuff it into my collar? I don't have cleavage...*

He then wiped the sweat from his brow. Regardless, as long as Wen Wen didn't cause him trouble, he was already satisfied. When Wen Wen had tied him up earlier, he genuinely thought he was doomed. He should try to avoid troublesome customers like Guo Shengye in the future. However, in the martial world, one was often beholden to circumstances, and some things were unavoidable…

As for the four supernatural props, since they belonged to the bald boss, Wen Wen had no intention of forcibly taking them. Besides, supernatural items of this level were no longer useful to him. His target was the person who manufactured these supernatural props. Master Redbeard!

While questioning the bald boss, Wen Wen had incidentally asked for Guo Shengye's room number, so he easily found him. Standing at the doorway, the first thing he saw were white papers littered with drawings of Jing Yan's likeness, followed by Guo Shengye slumped dejectedly over a table. So, he politely knocked and said, "Teacher Guo, wake up, I've come to get you."

"It's you!" Guo Shengye turned his head and saw Wen Wen's face, which he found so detestable. His eyes instantly turned red, and he lunged at Wen Wen with a fruit knife from the table.

Wen Wen's ability to emerge from the Mirror World meant that the Jing Yan sent to stop him had failed! If that was the case, then Guo Shengye saw no reason to continue living in this world. However, Guo Shengye's body froze about a meter away from Wen Wen, entangled by black chains and unable to move.

Wen Wen pinched Guo Shengye's cheek, then coughed lightly and said, "Defendant Guo Shengye, convicted of multiple counts of intentional homicide, sentenced to life imprisonment... hmm, let's say sixty years." After saying this, he dragged Guo Shengye into the Containment Facility. The arrest operation was completed so easily and happily.

Next, Wen Wen cast a covetous gaze at the other guests in the rooms, feeling a stir of temptation. Some people in this hotel were here out of desperation, seeking refuge, while others were genuinely wicked individuals, excellent material for prison guards in the Containment Facility. Moreover, the Containment Facility could provide them with the absolute safety they desired!

However, after some thought, Wen Wen abandoned this tempting idea. Firstly, the Containment Facility had enough prison guards for now. Secondly, since this place existed, there was a reason for it, and he only needed to do what was related to his mission. He would come back to check again when the prison guards were insufficient.

After putting some distance between himself and the old hotel, Wen Wen entered the Containment Facility. He needed to first settle Jing Yan and Guo Shengye. Jing Yan, having lost most of its power, was confined to the Disaster Zone on the second floor of the Containment Facility. Therefore, Wen Wen appointed Guo Shengye as the prison guard for the second floor, responsible for the daily lives of Jing Yan and the other monsters. According to Wen Wen's own standards, unless Guo Shengye did something to atone for his crimes, he would have to labor in the Containment Facility for sixty years, only having a chance to leave when he was old and frail. However, with Jing Yan also in the Containment Facility, perhaps Guo Shengye wouldn't be so lonely. This was truly a life sentence of "having a wife to accompany him."

Afterward, Wen Wen found You Han and helped her return to the real world.

...

Inside the mental hospital, Lin Zheyuan and the others wore troubled expressions. Two days had passed since Wen Wen went alone to deal with the monster in the mirror, and they hadn't received any news. Wen Wen seemed to have vanished from Furong River City, just like You Han, who had first encountered the mirror monster.

Lin Zheyuan smoked one cigarette after another. First, there were heavy casualties among the helpers from the Qiling Mountain incident, then Yan Xiu suddenly mutated, and now this. "The days are getting harder and harder…"

Suddenly, he heard Lin Lu's delighted cry, and his brows relaxed slightly. This at least meant Yan Xiu had woken up, which was one of the few pieces of good news recently.

Yan Xiu sat on the hospital bed, feeling himself all over. Only after confirming he hadn't transformed into that three-faced, six-armed angelic appearance did he heave a long sigh of relief. That mysterious Containment Facility had truly saved him. The only change was that his hair had turned white. But white hair was actually quite good; some people couldn't even achieve natural white hair. People in the Huafu Grand Area were all fans of white hair…

Finally, he looked affectionately at Lin Lu, who was sobbing with joy in his arms. Yan Xiu had signed the contract precisely because he wanted to see Lin Lu again. Being able to see her the first moment he woke up filled him with immense satisfaction. Even if it was a contract selling his soul, it was worth it.

Lin Zheyuan stood at the doorway, a hint of a smile in his eyes, though his face showed annoyance. Although Yan Xiu was a victim, he had also injured his sister, so he intended to give Yan Xiu a good talking-to when Lin Lu wasn't around.

Just then, Lin Zheyuan's phone received a message from You Han, saying she had escaped her predicament. Upon receiving this news, Lin Zheyuan let out a sigh of relief, his taut nerves finally relaxing. He slumped to the ground and quietly murmured, "It's so good…"

...

When Wen Wen arrived at the Hunter Association with a large bag of original manuscript art books, Lin Zheyuan and the others were clearing the tables. They had just celebrated Yan Xiu's awakening and You Han's return with a hot pot feast. The broth had been meticulously prepared by a master chef, and all the ingredients were top-grade, exclusively supplied by the association. Of course, by the time Wen Wen returned, everything was gone.

Wen Wen regretted not bringing San Zai'er along; at least San Zai'er could have had some of the hot pot broth… He subtly observed Yan Xiu. Although Yan Xiu was still weak after just waking up, his internal energy was slightly stronger and more vigorous than before, lacking that unpleasant scent characteristic of the Glorious Church. At this rate, he should soon be able to advance to the Assimilation realm.

Then he withdrew his gaze and, with a displeased expression, threw the bag of original manuscript art books to Zou Xiaomin. "All the original manuscript art books are here. You can use these books to recall their souls. Also, after you're done, I want to go to Baoya City with you." According to the bald boss, Master Redbeard was in Baoya City, but the bald boss didn't know his exact address, so Wen Wen wanted to go and find out.

After taking the art books, Zou Xiaomin caressed them with a dazed expression. Seeing one book before had made her very happy, and now there were so many, that was nearly forty times the happiness! And this idol wanted to go to her city with her… If something were to happen on the way, it would be immeasurable times the happiness! Picturing that scenario, Zou Xiaomin started giggling foolishly, stealing glances at Wen Wen from time to time.

Wen Wen looked at the strangely reacting Zou Xiaomin in bewilderment. This girl had inexplicably blushed before, and now she was acting like this… *Could she have a problem with her brain!*
