Wen Wen was also very interested in these two people, so he decided not to intervene for the time being and see what they wanted to do.
The green man, who was too poor to afford clothes, was on the Hunter Association's wanted list, and he was also the only one among the major villains of Arkham City who had survived.
His codename was Free Vine Man, an extreme plant protector with the ability to control poisonous plants.
The other, Dr. Joseph in the gray robe, was even more interesting. A special emblem was painted on his robe.
The emblem was primarily gold, with an eye pattern within intricate runes, the holy emblem of the Veritas Society, the "All-Seeing Eye"!
"People from the Veritas Society, and a former major villain of Arkham City. I haven't found you yet, and you've come to me."
At this time, Delia didn't know what was happening outside. She was contemplating what to copy next.
Her favorite subjects were related to environmental protection, but she had already used most of those themes, and the remaining ones were not easy to find.
Copying literary works was not as simple as it seemed. The data on this computer could not be transferred, so she had to manually type it onto another computer.
Moreover, although the other world used the same language as the real world, there were significant differences in grammar usage, so she also had to do some translation.
As she was engrossed in translation, the door to her bedroom was pushed open, and Dr. Joseph entered, followed closely by Free Vine Man.
Seeing the two of them, Delia panicked and tried to shut down the computer immediately, but when she reached out, she discovered that the computer was already covered by moving vines.
Since both of these individuals were somewhat capable, Wen Wen did not stand by conspicuously to observe this time. Instead, he crawled on the ceiling like a spider, peeping.
Since learning from the spider girls, Wen Wen's crawling posture had become even more horrifying.
"Who… who are you?"
Delia looked at the two of them in terror. After all, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl who had not experienced much turmoil. Seeing this situation, she immediately became flustered.
"Don't panic, we're not good people," Free Vine Man said kindly to Delia.
Delia's environmental theories strongly resonated with Free Vine Man, making him a fan of Delia.
However, he was more fanatical than an ordinary fan, so he often spied on Delia, thus discovering her secret.
"Miss Delia, you can call me Dr. Joseph. I am a faithful servant of knowledge. I heard that you have knowledge from another world here, so I would like to borrow it for a few days."
"If you are willing to lend it to me, we will give you some benefits, such as making you no longer an ordinary person, or improving your father's company's business."
Delia was not foolish. The fact that these two barged in so openly meant they were certainly not benevolent, so she did not believe their promises.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Just take what you want, as long as you don't hurt me."
With a slight movement of her hand behind her back, the hard drive in the computer vanished into thin air and returned to Delia's body.
This small action was subtle, but Joseph sensed an unusual fluctuation. He said meaningfully to Delia, "It seems you're not being cooperative. Then you'll have to come with me."
"Do you know how many ways the Binding Curse can be used?"
Delia blinked, "What curse?"
"This one." Joseph uttered a complex incantation: "Ba zhe niang men ge lao zi kun qi lai!"
Everything in the room began to move. The bedsheets and curtains fluttered, tightly binding Delia.
Delia's heart pounded with fear, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence. Lying on the floor, unable to move, she could only stare at the ceiling.
As she looked at the ceiling, she saw something even more terrifying than Joseph and the other man.
A man exuding an ominous aura, with unnaturally twisted joints, had his hands and feet fastened to the ceiling. His neck rotated one hundred and eighty degrees downward, and he whispered to Delia.
"Don't worry, you go with them first. I'll save you."
Upon seeing Wen Wen, Delia, who could still hold on, gasped and her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
Joseph looked at the ceiling in confusion, but Wen Wen had already moved elsewhere. "Strange. The Binding Curse is just a simple restraint spell. Why does she seem to have seen something terrifying?"
Free Vine Man said indifferently, "After all, she's just a fourteen-year-old girl. It's normal for her to be scared by you."
Joseph nodded. The two of them left the villa, and Wen Wen followed them, crawling all the way.
After they left, the vines inside the villa retracted. Since these were people of her idol, Free Vine Man did not kill them, but it would take them at least a few days to recover.
Half an hour later, a team from the Hunter Association arrived and carried away all the clearly poisoned individuals.
Others were fine; they just needed to be placed on stretchers. But for Ling Xin, there was a problem.
He was attacked while using the restroom, so his pants were half-open…
To pull up his pants, one would have to wipe his backside, but no assistant wanted to do that job. So, he was placed on the stretcher on his stomach, with only a towel covering his backside, and carried out.
The onlookers, upon seeing Ling Xin's state, revealed knowing smiles.
…
Wen Wen did not concern himself with what happened at the villa. He followed Joseph and Free Vine Man, eventually arriving in front of a building resembling a grand cathedral, with a large and prominent All-Seeing Eye symbol above it.
Of course, ordinary people could not see this. The building was covered by a very clever illusion. To outsiders, it appeared to be a large, old commercial building.
This was one of the three sanctuaries of the Veritas Society, the North American Sanctuary.
Each sanctuary contained great secrets and was the most important stronghold of the Veritas Society.
The Veritas Society was the most mysterious of all clandestine organizations. They never mingled with other clandestine organizations and rarely clashed with the Hunter Association, confining themselves to their own territory. No one knew how many trump cards they possessed.
However, they had fixed territories like these three sanctuaries, and each sanctuary was guarded by a 'Professor,' indicating the importance of these sanctuaries to them. Sudan Novel Network
Joseph and Free Vine Man, carrying Delia, entered the building one after another. As they entered, Wen Wen noticed a transparent barrier. The barrier's protective force was extremely strong. Without transforming into his Cataclysm state, Wen Wen could not break through.
Wen Wen stood behind the barrier and sighed. The Disaster Gauntlet appeared, and he prepared to use it to dissolve an entrance in the barrier.
Then he would enter to see what secrets this sanctuary held and why Free Vine Man was involved with the Veritas Society.
However, doing so would mean he could no longer remain hidden, and a conflict would inevitably arise later.
