Wen Wen indeed needed the Desert Priest, but it wasn't to the point where he would die if the priest didn't show up. After all, he hadn't revealed all his trump cards yet.
Although this game was forced upon him, it reignited Wen Wen's long-lost passion because it offered sufficient challenge.
According to the information obtained from Jalod, Alan City was a cursed city.
Fear permeated the crowd. The monsters were like shepherds in a pen, and humans were the sheep, ready to be picked out, killed, or sold by the shepherds at any moment.
The Guard Bureau was the strongest among the sheep, but no matter how strong, they were still sheep, unable to contend with those monsters.
It was said that the city was completely normal at first, but then it suffered a great famine.
A foreigner with small eyes arrived with several carts of grain, bringing new hope to the city.
However, a few carts of grain were not enough to satisfy the needs of the entire city. The citizens who did not receive the grain, ignoring the foreigner's explanations, angrily beat the foreigner to death and then devoured him.
From then on, the city was cursed.
The citizens who ate the foreigner's flesh and blood had all transformed into terrifying monsters, lurking in the shadows, watching the living in the city, ready to feast at any moment.
These monsters seemed to understand the principle of sustainable development, so they had not exterminated Alan City completely, nor had they allowed the order here to collapse.
But for decades, no one had been able to walk out of this city alive. Occasionally, visiting monster hunters were also forever swallowed by this terrifying city, without even causing a ripple.
The main colors of this city were oppression, terror, and despair.
Therefore, to destroy this disgusting dreamscape, what was needed was not to kill all the monsters, but to make the city more vibrant, to stop people from living in fear, and to bring hope for survival to the citizens of the city.
This was the normal approach...
Wen Wen had a different idea.
That was to make the monsters experience human emotions.
He wanted to make the monsters who killed for pleasure become suppressed, filled with fear, and unable to find even a sliver of hope.
That way, it would be more exhilarating!
The information contained many monsters, some of which Wen Wen was familiar with, and some he had never seen before. The appearance of some monsters alone was enough to make people unable to eat for three days.
However, the Guard Bureau only had a general idea of the monsters' movements, with almost no specific information.
Recently, although the Guard Bureau had been secretly hunting monsters, they only dared to deal with weak, solitary monsters. If they alerted the monsters, the Guard Bureau could very well be massacred.
This was also why Jalod, despite having the strength to deal with monsters, was still looking for monster hunters.
After a while, Wen Wen found a target he could work on.
...
Ed liked cigarettes, liked fine wine, and also liked women.
Normal men liked women, but Ed's preference was a little different. Su Dan Novel Network
He liked girls who were eighteen or nineteen years old &
"Before you howl in vain, could you first look at the environment under your feet?" Wen Wen pointed to the ground beneath Ed and said.
Ed looked down and found a circular rune formation under his feet, with a large cross in the center of the formation.
The rune formation emitted a strong white light, causing Ed's skin to rapidly fester. His strength rapidly drained, and after a moment, he fainted directly.
This was a rune formation created by Wen Wen, modeled after the power of the Church of Glory, and it had a natural lethality to creatures like vampires.
Then, Wen Wen took out a wet rope soaked in holy water and tied Ed up. Several small iron pieces were hung on the rope, each with runes that suppressed vampire power.
Don't ask where the holy water came from. The so-called holy water was not that miraculous. It was actually water blessed by the Church of Creation.
By placing items stained with the holy power of the Church of Creation into water and reciting specific prayers to the water, ordinary water could be turned into holy water.
The difficulty of imitating holy water was even easier than standing on a toilet to relieve oneself.
Afterward, Wen Wen dragged Ed into an empty room, lit charcoal nearby, heated a special branding iron on the charcoal, and then began to write and draw on a piece of wood.
These were preparations for tomorrow's performance. Starting tomorrow, the fate of this city would be rewritten.
He intended to announce his arrival with a refined and interesting performance.
