Heng An’s forehead was covered in black lines. "You don't even spare the young ones... what exactly are you thinking in that beastly head of yours? I'm taking her back to protect her, it's not as dirty as you think."
The weasel scratched its head. It had only said it was catching the young ones, where did the dirtiness come from? It must be this human's heart. Su Dan Novel Network.
The little girl Heng An had captured was named An Yuexi. She was the orphan of the previous leader of the 'Code' organization. After the Code organization was taken over by the 'Absurd Word,' An Yuexi, under the protection of an old assassin, fled to this small town.
Not long after the old assassin brought her here, he passed away. She hid in the city by herself for a while, but was eventually found and captured by the assassin stronghold in this city, which was this wild game restaurant.
They reported the news of finding An Yuexi to the Absurd Word, hoping someone would take the girl away. The Foundation intercepted this message, which was why Heng An came here today.
With An Yuexi, the Foundation's takeover of the Code organization would be smoother.
That's right, even now, the Foundation had not completely taken over the Code organization.
Originally, according to Wen Wen's plan, an Upper Order superpowered individual like Jester could easily absorb this assassin organization with his subordinate forces. After Jester was eliminated, with Wen Wen's backing and Barcode's guidance, the Foundation should not have had trouble dealing with the Code organization.
The reality was the same. With Feng Ruixing's financial support and the military assistance led by the Faceless Demon, they had easily captured the headquarters of the Code organization.
The subsequent task was to receive the Code organization's strongholds in various locations, which the Foundation could complete on its own. Thus, the monsters, including the Faceless Demon, were all returned to the containment facility.
However, at this very moment, another Upper Order superpowered individual from Absurd Word, named 'The Rambler,' also got involved. He took over the network of forces left behind by Jester, absorbed all the outer strongholds, and began to compete with the Foundation for control of the Code organization.
Even though there were not many superpowered individuals in the 'Code' organization and they had no power to resist against a hidden organization, the Code had a large number of ordinary assassins. These assassins formed a complex network of forces that could play a significant role in society.
It was normal for 'The Rambler,' who was vying for power in Absurd Word, to set his sights on the Code organization, attracted by its capabilities.
What Feng Ruixing found somewhat strange was that The Rambler did not choose to confront the Foundation head-on. Instead, he only commanded the ordinary assassins to engage in guerrilla warfare against the Foundation, hindering the takeover process.
In fact, Feng Ruixing very much hoped that The Rambler would show himself, so he could request support from Wen Wen and eliminate the threat at its source. However, since the superpowered individual never appeared, Feng Ruixing could do nothing.
Under these circumstances, finding the orphan of the previous leader and appealing to those assassins in her name would have a positive impact on the Foundation's takeover.
Heng An, pulling An Yuexi, walked through the blood and reached the entrance of the small courtyard. He turned to look at the weasel and said, "I was just thinking again, even if none of the diners and the boss here are innocent, I can't just let you go."
"Heh, hypocritical human." The weasel sneered, looking at Heng An with extreme disgust.
Heng An shook his head. "At first, I was indeed fooled by you, thinking you were just a monster killing for revenge. Your expression, language, and even your appearance were all guiding me in this direction."
"But when I was capturing this little girl earlier, I discovered that she had a superpowered item effective only against evil entities, and that item's power was already significantly depleted."
"Most suspicious of all, there were dozens of cages in the back kitchen. Normally, wild animals waiting to be slaughtered should be kept there, but now there are only scattered flesh and fur. Those are not the traces left by human chefs, but the traces left by beasts devouring smaller animals."
The weasel let out a scoff. "If you want to deal with me, just deal with me. Why bother with so many reasons."
"Also, if you were just seeking revenge, why didn't you leave after your revenge was complete? You didn't even get up from your chair when you saw me. I'm afraid you can't get up anymore, can you?"
A slight flicker appeared in the weasel's eyes, but it still looked at Heng An with an air of righteousness, as if Heng An would be a great sinner for laying a hand on it. "Are you going to judge me with your suspicions?"
Heng An retorted, "What you've told me is also without proof, isn't it?"
The human-sized weasel's body suddenly changed. It transformed into a giant weasel three meters tall; it had revealed its true form.
Matching its immense body was its stomach, over two meters in diameter, filled with wild animals from the kitchen. Occasionally, two human faces would appear on its belly; these were the souls of humans it had swallowed, struggling in their final moments.
Seeing the ferocious weasel again, An Yuexi, who had been very angry with Heng An, immediately hid behind him, clutching his clothes.
Heng An's expression remained calm. "As I suspected, your righteous talk was just to paralyze me. All the animals caught by poachers went into your belly, and these people's souls were also absorbed. You kept An Yuexi alive not out of kindness, but because you couldn't harm her. Unfortunately, you couldn't control your greedy nature. Eating too much has temporarily incapacitated you, making it impossible for you to leave here."
The weasel no longer bothered to conceal itself. Its somewhat ethereal appearance instantly turned fierce and menacing. "Everything you said is true, but so what? I'm just hunting. What right do you, a self-righteous human, have to condemn me?"
"Your ability is to eliminate my superpowered strength, right? But even without your superpowered strength, what can you humans use to contend with my true form? As long as I consume what's in my belly..."
The weasel's words were cut short by a booming sound. Heng An held an automatic rifle in one hand and continuously fired at the weasel's massive body. The immobile weasel could only endure the barrage of bullets. Under Heng An's ability, even without demon-hunting bullets, it could cause damage to the weasel.
After emptying the magazine, Heng An frowned. This giant weasel was still alive.
Its three-meter-tall body was truly massive, its skin impenetrable even to bullets. After enduring these attacks, it was indeed severely injured but not mortally so.
So, Heng An took out something from behind him, attached it to the gun barrel, and aimed it at the weasel.
That was... an anti-armor grenade launcher!
