Wen Wen watched the place where Gao Fang disappeared with cold indifference, thinking that Gao Fang probably still believed he was in control until now.
"You'll cry when the time comes!"
After waiting for nearly an hour, a large number of bats returned to Wen Wen's side.
Wen Wen's expression grew grim because they hadn't found Yan Biqing's scent.
"It's different being in the association before; you even know how to hide your scent... but I will find you."
Afterward, Wen Wen sent out all the bats to search again, forbidding them to stop until Yan Biqing was found.
...
In a dirty cellar, Yan Biqing expressionlessly treated the wound on his chest.
The wound was covered with dense data streams, which greatly accelerated the healing process.
He didn't have the monstrous self-healing ability of vampires, but he could enhance the body's natural healing capabilities, achieving remarkable results.
"I don't quite understand why they want to capture me. You are one of them, and I am you."
Yan Biqing muttered to himself. No one answered his question, nor did he expect anyone to.
He had awakened from chaos and taken over this body, feeling like a stranger to everything in the world.
He could only rely on Yan Biqing's past memories to familiarize himself with this world.
But the more he became familiar with it, the harder it was to suppress his true nature, the more he craved to kill!
...
On the fourth day, the investigation continued in full swing. Wen Wen's bats were still searching. Although they couldn't pinpoint Yan Biqing's exact location, they at least knew where he definitely wasn't. Sudan Novel Network.
The abnormal activity of bats throughout the city had also attracted the attention of the association, but no demon hunters were dispatched to investigate.
The influence of a single vampire was clearly less significant than that of Yan Biqing.
Meanwhile, Ding Mingguang's investigation proceeded with increasing smoothness. He had previously left a hidden marker within Yan Biqing's body, which functioned as a tracking device, allowing him to quickly locate Yan Biqing based on this mark.
Simultaneously, that marker also acted as a timed explosive; once detonated, it could inflict immense damage on Yan Biqing.
However, detonating it would make it inconvenient to track Yan Biqing further, so he had kept the marker.
In reality, Yan Biqing's location had already been pinpointed, but Lin Zheyu had ordered the pursuit to commence only the next day. Today, he had instructed Ding Mingguang to familiarize himself as much as possible with Yan Biqing's patterns of action, aiming to eliminate him within a single day tomorrow.
In the evening, Wen Wen sat in his new chair, watching the setting sun, and sighed deeply.
After tonight, only one day would remain, and the situation would become overwhelmingly disadvantageous. He had to find a way to change this predicament, as losing would put him at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he stood up and walked towards the restroom.
Yes, every demon hunter's office in the Hunter Association had a private restroom, a feature Wen Wen found very satisfying.
Upon entering the restroom, Wen Wen's figure vanished abruptly. He had entered The Disaster Containment Facility.
He had just sensed that Qin Shuang's advancement was complete!
He had successfully transformed into a ghost that mastered a realm!
Wen Wen went directly to the cells in the disaster zone. As expected, Qin Shuang had already appeared in disaster zone two, next to Tao Qingqing.
At this moment, Tao Qingqing and Qin Shuang were confronting each other with their eyes.
Qin Shuang's entire demeanor had changed. Standing in the cell was no longer the timid individual who was subservient to Tao Qingqing, but a stern young man radiating an icy aura.
He was still wearing his original clothes. The presence of dozens of other ghosts swirled around him. Far from disrupting his existence, this aura only made him more powerful.
Qin Shuang was now a fierce spirit!
In the inner world, the vast majority of monsters did not exist as solitary entities but belonged to their own species. With species came differences in strength.
For instance, the ghosts that Wen Wen had dealt with previously were all low-level vengeful spirits.
They were weak, with only a few possessing special abilities. Without targeted countermeasures, they could be extremely troublesome.
Qin Shuang, however, was an existence above vengeful spirits—a fierce spirit!
Unlike vengeful spirits, which occupied the bottom of the monster food chain, fierce spirits were ranked roughly in the upper-middle tier among all disaster-level monsters.
They had already gained the ability to inflict physical damage and, for the most part, were not confined to a single location like vengeful spirits.
However, with the ability to inflict physical damage came weaknesses that vengeful spirits lacked; their ghost form was not entirely stable, allowing them to maintain it only for short periods. At other times, they could be easily attacked.
Furthermore, fierce spirits possessed a stronger desire for slaughter and would instinctively attack living beings.
Consequently, the appearance of a fierce spirit would typically lead to their eradication by the Hunter Association, which was why Wen Wen had been unable to find any fierce spirits in the entire Furong River City.
Upon seeing Wen Wen, Qin Shuang's face contorted. Too many other ghost wills remained within his body, blurring his own original memories.
But he still remembered that it was this man before him who had inflicted immense humiliation upon him, and therefore, he sought revenge!
Pale, cold energy appeared from his hand and shot towards Wen Wen, but the cold energy could not escape the confines of the cell.
Despite this, Qin Shuang continued to attack relentlessly.
"Your strength has increased, but your mind is broken. It seems you've forgotten who I am."
Wen Wen snorted, placed his hand on the amulet, and once again transformed into the Disaster Prison Warden. Then, with a slight push of his palm, Qin Shuang was slammed against the wall, unable to move.
"I'll teach you a lesson."
Wen Wen cupped his hands, and Qin Shuang's body contorted. Faces of despair, distorted and anguished, churned within his semi-transparent form, inflicting immense pain upon him.
After a moment, Wen Wen released his grip. Qin Shuang's gaze towards Wen Wen was no longer defiant but somewhat timid. He retreated to the corner of the wall, looking at Wen Wen with fear.
As long as absolute power was present, even ghosts would feel fear.
"Let's see what pleasant surprises your abilities can bring me."
Wen Wen went to the core of the disaster zone, selected Qin Shuang's abilities, and after a slight tremor, his body became semi-transparent.
Having long been accustomed to not wearing underwear, Wen Wen hadn't experienced the embarrassing incident of underwear spontaneously dropping for a long time.
Having switched abilities so many times, Wen Wen was now very adept at testing different abilities.
"His strength is far greater than that of ordinary people. He can crush ordinary individuals relying solely on hand-to-hand combat, but he is no match for superhumans who fight with their bodies..."
"Fierce spirits possess all the abilities of vengeful spirits and can decide whether ordinary people can see them based on their will."
"Concurrently, the electricity becomes unstable in areas where fierce spirits appear, serving as a built-in flickering light effect."
"He can move objects with his mind, but there are weight limitations, and he cannot perform complex operations."
"Overall, without relying on special abilities, fierce spirits are completely incomparable to disaster-level vampires."
