Wen Wen pushed a small basin of fresh blood into the cell, while Tao Qingqing sipped it slowly, taking small bites.
Recently, Wen Wen had been frequently asking her about vampire combat methods, so he had been feeding her very satisfyingly. Seeing blood no longer made her appear so agitated.
Afterward, he emerged from the containment facility, contemplating when he might arrange some benefits for Qin Shuang. Currently, among the prisoners, he was the only one who hadn't enjoyed Wen Wen's favors.
Wen Wen felt some pangs of conscience towards the monsters that provided him with strength. What if they became too uncomfortable in their cells and committed suicide?
Suddenly, his phone rang incessantly. He picked it up and saw over a dozen missed calls. Signal was unavailable within the containment facility.
All these calls were from the Hunter's Association. Wen Wen raised an eyebrow. Sudan Novel Network.
"What major event has occurred? They are usually so aloof; they've never sought me out like this."
So, Wen Wen dialed back. He was still on the Hunter's Association's suspect list, so it wouldn't do to stand them up.
"Hello, this is Wen Wen."
"Where are you? Why aren't you answering your phone?" Ding Mingguang said urgently.
"Ding Mingguang?" Wen Wen asked in surprise. In his memory, Ding Mingguang was a shut-in otaku who was uninterested in anything except watching anime. It shouldn't be Ding Mingguang contacting him about something like this.
"Yes, it's me. Do you have a problem? Never mind that, let's not waste time on pleasantries. Furong River Paradise is currently under attack by monsters, and the situation is extremely chaotic. We need you to provide immediate support. The association won't be stingy with your benefits."
Ding Mingguang spoke at a rapid pace, the severity of this incident exceeding his initial estimations.
"Don't joke. How many monsters can there be? Can't your Hunter's Association handle it?" Wen Wen had no interest in such obviously dangerous matters.
"I'm not joking. At least several thousand people are trapped in the park, and dozens of monsters are slaughtering indiscriminately. The sooner you get there, the more people you can save!" Hearing that Wen Wen seemed disinclined to act, Ding Mingguang became anxious.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Wen Wen's mind suddenly changed.
"Several thousand people..."
"No," Wen Wen denied.
"The sooner you get there..." Ding Mingguang ventured.
"Ugh, why are you so slow? Didn't you just say there were dozens of monsters there!" Wen Wen said directly.
"If you heard it all, why ask me to repeat it? This is a matter of life and death, not child's play!" Ding Mingguang roared, and Wen Wen couldn't help but move the phone away from his ear.
"Relax, I'll be there, and I'll defeat as many monsters as possible. You can rest assured, hehe." Wen Wen said with a covetous glint in his eyes.
After hanging up and preparing his equipment, Wen Wen immediately set off for Furong River Paradise. Dozens of monsters in total, just enough to capture a few to stock his warehouse. Such a chaotic environment was perfect for him to make his move.
Moreover, he could see how much progress he had made during this time!
...
Inside the amusement park, demon hunters and monsters were locked in fierce combat.
These monsters were generally not very strong, but their numbers were too great, and there were too many ordinary people who needed protection. Therefore, even with the entire force of demon hunters from Furong River City deployed, the situation hadn't improved much.
Monsters hunted ordinary people, demon hunters protected ordinary people, and demon hunters and monsters hunted each other. The amusement park that once brought joy had now become a grinder of flesh and blood.
The Ferris wheel had stopped spinning, and the dazzling lights had vanished. In their place were dense red stripes, which, along with some strange runes, formed a pattern resembling a giant magic array.
Mr. L stood at the top of the Ferris wheel, gazing at the chaotic amusement park, a distorted smile on his face.
All the dozens of monsters were either invited by Mr. L or simply captured by him.
Mr. L had spent several years preparing for this slaughter. If Wen Wen hadn't, by some fluke, exposed his Bloodthirsty Vines, he would have waited until the normal tenth-anniversary celebration to unleash his plan.
But no matter what, this was a grand sacrifice he had meticulously planned. No one could stop this feast from proceeding, not even those hunters!
The appearance of the demon hunters was earlier than he had anticipated, but even if they had come, what difference did it make? As long as they entered his domain, there was only one outcome.
Death!
He told those monsters that this was a direct confrontation with the demon hunters, a long-suppressed carnival, and the beginning of their revenge against the Hunter's Association.
These statements were both true and false, as those monsters were also the nourishment he had prepared for this sacrifice.
Whether they survived to the end and were killed by Mr. L, or killed by hunters, they were all just nourishment. Only Mr. L would survive.
The entire Furong River Paradise was part of a sacrificial ritual. The flesh and blood of anyone could make this ritual more perfect.
Once the ritual began, no one could stop it. Even if someone were to smash this Ferris wheel now, even if Mr. L were to die on the spot, as long as blood was still flowing here, the ritual would continue!
The various parts of the magic array, though seemingly in the real world, were actually in another layer of space similar to the grey fog layer. What's done is done, and he, Mr. L, had completed his mission.
Mr. L knelt halfway on the Ferris wheel, murmuring incessantly.
"Great Master, your humble servant offers this sacrifice, praying that you will cast your gaze upon this place and bestow some power that is insignificant to you..."
...
With a stylish drift, the black car stopped at the entrance of Furong River Paradise. He had been speeding the entire way. Traffic violations and fines were minor issues that he believed the Hunter's Association could resolve.
At this point, the area had been cordoned off by assistants, but they were unaware of the situation inside, as messages could not be transmitted outwards.
Wen Wen got out of the car with a large bag of items. Several assistants stepped forward to brief Wen Wen on the situation inside.
Because Wen Wen had been quite active recently, most of the assistants in Furong River City knew him.
After listening for a while, Wen Wen had a rough idea of the situation. Such a chaotic environment was perfect for his talents. If there was real danger, he could just make a timely escape.
He admitted to himself that he wasn't a good person, so he would prioritize his own safety.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll be going in!" Wen Wen walked towards the park's perimeter wall.
"Detective Wen, wait! There's a very strong protective barrier outside the park now. You can't get in by ordinary means..." Before the assistant could finish speaking, Wen Wen fired an RPG at it.
"It's fine, I don't usually use ordinary methods," Wen Wen said with a smile.
After the smoke cleared, a gap appeared in the red barrier, but it quickly closed. Before Wen Wen could rush towards it, it had already shrunk to a size that a person couldn't enter.
"As expected, it's not easy to get in," Wen Wen sighed.
