Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 157 The Death Knell Bird

Wen Wen dashed with his hand covering his chin, feeling a chill on his body that surprisingly brought a sense of pleasure.

"No wonder there are so many exhibitionists who streak, it really feels good like this!"

Since so many people had already seen him, Wen Wen decided to let loose and ran even more wildly.

When he reached a deserted spot, he immediately entered the containment facility, waiting for an hour to revert.

"Wasted, wasted!"

"This transformation is too embarrassing, I can't use it at all. I will absolutely never use it again!"

Wen Wen angrily paced back and forth within the facility, appearing extremely agitated.

However, after enduring for an hour and ending the transformation, he began to ponder.

"Ignoring the perverted elements, the bracelet's ability is truly powerful, and it can perfectly hide my identity… it's a great alias."

"And that appearance, it was quite interesting..."

The thought of his own firm declaration that he wouldn't use this ability again made him hesitate.

...

An hour later, Wen Wen, dressed in a black trench coat, emerged from the facility with a composed expression and found his new car.

He happily drove back home, as if he had never streaked.

The next morning, Wen Wen arrived at the Hunter Association for the routine meeting.

The morning meeting was a tradition of the Hunter Association; whenever an anomaly occurred, regardless of its severity, a meeting would be held.

Lin Zhe Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Last night, a super-powered individual attacked Zhang Ke Wei's private museum and may have stolen some valuable items. This is a sketch based on eyewitness descriptions."

He produced a sketch and showed it to everyone.

As soon as Ding Ming Guang saw the picture, he spat out the goji berry water he was drinking. What in the world was this!

Everyone else also wore strange expressions. Was this super-powered individual perhaps performing performance art? Robbing someone in the middle of the night while naked, had they lost their minds?

"Don't underestimate him. Based on the broken glass and his escape speed, this person is not weak and should not be underestimated."

Lin Zhe Yuan said with a straight face. The complaining and吐槽 he had to do, he had already done it when he first received this information.

"Additionally, we are not sure if he is a monster or a super-powered individual..."

"A monster, it must be a monster. What super-powered individual would wear something like this?" Gong Bao Ding said, drinking from a water cup identical to Ding Ming Guang's.

In any other situation, Wen Wen would have been the one to make the harshest remarks.

But today, he really had nothing to say.

"That's strange, why aren't you making any witty remarks today?" Lin Lu asked Wen Wen curiously, finding him a bit unusual.

Wen Wen guiltily said, "Ahem, I'm still recovering from a serious injury and don't have the mood."

Then, he noticed You Han's expression was a bit off.

He, or rather, she, was staring at the paper with a gleam in her eyes.

"Hiss… she didn't fall for this person, did she?"

The thought made Wen Wen cough more violently, drawing concerned glances from everyone.

After all, they had personally witnessed Wen Wen's kidney being pierced that day...

"'Ice River' is about to arrive. We need to clear up any other hidden dangers in Furong River City as much as possible. Uncle Gong has successfully assimilated and should be assigned elsewhere as a captain."

"You won't be with us for many more days, so try to contribute your remaining energy these next few days," Lin Zhe Yuan said, looking at Gong Bao Ding.

Gong Bao Ding nodded helplessly. Lin Zhe Yuan meant for him to tackle some difficult cases before leaving...

"Wen Wen, you are injured now, so don't take on overly strenuous missions. Your investigative abilities are very strong. How about this, you and Jiao Xin Lei form a team to thoroughly investigate that naked guy."

"This..." Wen Wen hesitated. Investigating himself seemed a bit inappropriate.

"It's decided then, meeting adjourned." Lin Zhe Yuan slammed the table, and everyone began to move.

You Han walked up to Wen Wen and said, "Remember to tell me if you find any news about that person."

Wen Wen nodded numbly, goosebumps prickling his skin.

Then Lin Lu sidled up to Wen Wen, looking at him slyly and saying, "Aren't you curious why my brother is reacting so strongly to 'Ice River'?"

"Now that you mention it, it is a bit strange. His drive seems quite high recently."

Wen Wen nodded, his inner gossip craving ignited.

Lin Lu whispered, "Heh heh heh, before, my brother and 'Ice River' were both pursuing Sister-in-law..."

"Oh..."

Wen Wen put on a comical smile and nodded in understanding. A former love rival becoming a superior and coming into one's territory would make anyone nervous.

As he left the conference room, Wen Wen saw Jiao Xin Lei squatting at the conference room door.

The association had been very busy in the previous period, leaving her aside and unattended, making her look rather pitiful.

"Get up, we have a mission. I'll lead you this time."

"Really?"

Jiao Xin Lei said with surprise. She had been a benchwarmer for a long time.

"Of course, it's true. We're going to investigate a man," Wen Wen said vaguely.

"What man?" Jiao Xin Lei asked in confusion.

Wen Wen recounted the news from the meeting to Jiao Xin Lei, who then pouted in dissatisfaction.

"So it's to catch a shameless pervert. I thought I was finally recognized, but it turns out to be such an unimportant mission."

Wen Wen flicked Jiao Xin Lei's forehead, educating her.

"No matter what the mission is, you must treat it seriously. And he might not be a shameless pervert; it's just a different interest."

"Got it, but... streaking in the middle of the night is still perverted..."

Jiao Xin Lei rubbed her forehead and whispered in agreement.

Getting into the new car, the two headed for the city sanatorium.

"This car is so luxurious."

Jiao Xin Lei curiously touched and looked at everything. If she hadn't become a super-powered individual, Wen Wen driving such a car would have made him a top-tier diamond bachelor.

"Never mind the car for now. I still haven't asked you, what ability did you awaken in the villa that day." Wen Wen asked while driving.

"Ability..." Speaking of abilities, Jiao Xin Lei's expression turned a bit dejected.

"I can see death!"

"In my eyes, everyone has different colors above their heads. Black represents death. The darker the black, the closer death is, and the prediction is more accurate."

"Captain Lin named my ability 'Death Messenger'!"

"Interesting. Can you see when I will die?" Wen Wen asked casually.

Jiao Xin Lei shook her head and said, "It's quite strenuous to see the death aura of super-powered individuals, and I can't change death, so I don't want to look at acquaintances."

Knowing when acquaintances would die, but being powerless to change it, she had experienced this many times in the past few days.

That feeling was too terrible, so she did not want to activate her ability unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, she had also looked at Wen Wen. Above Wen Wen's head, there was no black color block; instead, there was a black door she couldn't see through!
