Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Contracting Black Nail Fungus, One Infects Two

"By the way, I just remembered something..." Jiao Xinlei had more to say.

But just at that moment, Wen Wen stood up, looking into the distance, as people from the Hunter Association had arrived.

Seeing that Wen Wen had no interest in continuing to solve her problems, she retracted her words.

Jiao Xinlei initially wanted to say that she had seen a ghostly figure appear at the moment of Jiang Yusheng’s death, taking his soul away...

The assistants, dressed in black uniforms, methodically surrounded the villa, beginning to wrap things up.

In cleaning up after a superpower user, they were professionals.

After briefly questioning Jiao Xinlei and Jiang Wenyue, Lin Zheyuan walked up to Wen Wen, somewhat wearily saying,

"Ever since you became a freelance hunter, I suddenly feel like I’ve gone from being the Guardian of Furong River City to a police officer on TV."

Wen Wen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? How so?"

Lin Zheyuan sighed and said, "Always showing up after everything has ended."

"Right, that’s exactly how you are." Wen Wen said mercilessly, as he had intentionally created this situation.

An assistant was taking notes nearby while Lin Zheyuan asked Wen Wen, "What about the ghosts in this house?"

"All dead, their souls utterly dispersed." Wen Wen said smugly.

"And... I heard there was also a dog," Lin Zheyuan continued to inquire.

"It ran away. I threatened to make dog meat soup, and it got scared off," Wen Wen nonchalantly said another version of his lie.

Lin Zheyuan wouldn’t believe Wen Wen’s words, and he would ask Jiao Xinlei about the whereabouts of the Human-Headed Dog; they would then receive another version of the response, which, because it wasn’t from Wen Wen, would be much more credible.

Of course, even if they didn’t believe him, Wen Wen didn’t really care, as such doubts were unshakable.

True and false, real and illusory, let them guess.

After explaining everything to Lin Zheyuan, Wen Wen did not linger in the villa. He wasn’t planning to meddle too much here anymore.

The changes in the Sanctuary were what he needed to focus on the most.

Lin Zheyuan didn’t stop Wen Wen but only asked him to come to the association to make a record when he had time. As these incidents had become frequent, they were no longer novel.

Back in the car, Wen Wen drove aimlessly to a nearby parking lot, shut the doors and windows of the car, and directly entered the Sanctuary.

He was eager to leave, not only to further explore the Sanctuary but for another reason as well.

That was, after absorbing all the ghosts, his left fingertip felt slightly warm!

And that warming sensation was very much like when he first got the Catastrophe Gloves!

"Could it be that my left hand has a pair of gloves too?"

If his left hand also had Catastrophe Gloves, and they also had those rings, Wen Wen’s abilities would multiply, and he would become even more powerful!

Wen Wen tried to activate it, and as he suspected, a black substance emerged from his skin, forming five dark nails...

Yes, only the nails turned black; no other part underwent any change.

He took out a dagger, poked at the nails, and confirmed that the black material on the nails was the same impenetrable material as on his right hand’s Catastrophe Gloves.

"Got black nails, one infects two... well, just nails alone is pretty pitiful."

Wen Wen looked disdainfully at the five black nails; compared to an entirely black arm, these nails seemed quite unimpressive.

However, Wen Wen still took them very seriously.

The black part of his right hand, having absorbed a tremendous amount of energy, expanded to encompass his entire arm, indicating that this black portion could grow with the absorption of energy.

As long as Wen Wen continued to absorb ghosts or other forms of energy, one day his left hand might become just like his right!

Next, Wen Wen opened the black briefcase and took out all the glass beads, placing them in a small bag.

These glass beads were remnants of ghosts that the Catastrophe Gloves had disdained to absorb, but other ghosts greatly craved them.

Therefore, Wen Wen wanted to see if this object could enhance Qin Shuang’s strength.

Tao Qingqing’s promotion to Disaster Level sweetened the deal for Wen Wen, who now had a great interest in cultivating monsters.

He placed the Catastrophe Gloves around his neck, and black mist twined around him, transforming him back into the Catastrophe Prison Warden’s guise.

After seeing the effects of that collar, Wen Wen had consistently worn it; the object adhered to his skin and could be hidden under clothes, rendering it invisible to others.

A surge of black mist swept over, and Wen Wen disappeared from the spot, appearing instantaneously at the entrance to Qin Shuang’s cell.

In this state, Wen Wen could achieve many actions not usually possible, even performing spatial jumps within the sanctuary!

Upon seeing Wen Wen’s new form, all five of the monsters detained in the Disaster Area, except for the Scavenging Demon, couldn’t help but shrink back.

Previously, Wen Wen had seemed perverted to them, but now he invoked fear!

Wen Wen took out a glass bead and waved it in front of Qin Shuang’s eyes a few times. Qin Shuang’s eyes immediately lit up, and he floated to the cell door, staring eagerly at Wen Wen, looking more like a dog than a Human-Headed Dog.

"What is this treasure? Can I take a look?" Qin Shuang couldn’t take his eyes off it.

"Do you want it?" Wen Wen asked him teasingly.

"Yes, yes!" Qin Shuang’s eyes sparkled.

Wen Wen jokingly said, "Then imitate a dog’s bark for me."

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"...You didn’t hesitate at all, huh? Show some decency, will you!"

Laughing scornfully, Wen Wen tossed the glass bead into the cell, and Qin Shuang caught it in his mouth like a dog.

After swallowing the glass bead, it took about ten seconds before an unknown strength surged from within Qin Shuang’s body. His face contorted, and the aura around him grew colder.

He even seemed to grow taller!

It was unbelievable—could ghosts grow taller too?

Those doomed to be 160 cm tall until death might find some solace in the afterlife.

"It really could enhance strength, heh heh heh, capturing more weaklings isn’t as useful as nurturing a powerful ghost. From now on, any ghost without special abilities should just become nourishment for me!"

Wen Wen took out some more glass beads from the bag and pocketed them, then threw the whole bag into the cell!

This should be enough for Qin Shuang’s evolution!

Qin Shuang devoured the glass beads like a vicious dog tearing into its prey.

This scene filled the other monsters with envy. As prisoners, they had the chance to enhance their abilities, yet why wasn’t this opportunity theirs?

After swallowing everything, Qin Shuang suddenly clutched his stomach, began howling in pain, and rolled around the cell. Then, his body expanded to more than ten times its original size!

His body, swollen like a gigantic meatball, continually changed, with different faces howling in pain and countless limbs emerging.

The entire person resembled a giant, deformed lump of flesh.

"Hmm, it seems I shouldn’t feed him too much at once, otherwise it’ll cause indigestion." Wen Wen scratched his head as he observed the deformed mass in the cell.
