Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Terrifying Conjecture

"Hey, hehe, just thinking about that scene makes me excited. Maybe I should join the Hunter Association for this purpose..."

Ending his idle daydreaming, Wen Wen tapped his chin, pondering what to do next.

"Recruiting Containment Officers is a must; there’s no way I can fill so many prisons alone..."

"But I can’t just recruit anyone. First of all, I mustn’t expose my own identity. Although the contract looks safe, the world is so crazy, who knows what might happen in the end."

"Let’s experiment with Uncle Gong first. I owe him a favor, saving his life will repay that favor."

"Speaking of which, no wonder people call him Uncle Gong. His real name is Gong Baoding, which sounds delicious, hehe."

...

Having decided to recruit Gong Baoding as a Containment Officer first, Wen Wen definitely needed to check him out.

However, before going to the Hunters Association, he needed to prepare some things.

During this time, while capturing monsters, Wen Wen had acquired some items whose value he was unclear of, and he planned to have them appraised at the Hunters Association.

If the price was right, he would sell them there; if not, he would simply take them back.

He considered his options and took with him two glass beads, the shell of a Turtle Demon Yao, a sphere suspected to be a Chicken Demon Yao’s Demon Core, and a section of a Guile Tree Spirit’s branch—these four items.

Speaking of which, the Guile Tree Spirit wasn’t very useful to Wen Wen; the ability to mimic voices got boring after a few uses.

This ability was only good for deceiving regular people, after all; superpower users or monsters seldom relied solely on sound to identify friends and foes.

So, if the Guile Tree Spirit’s branch was worth a lot, Wen Wen planned to strip it bare and sell it all.

In fact, Wen Wen had this idea before, but he couldn’t enter the prison himself back then, so he could only watch from outside the cells.

Taking the items, Wen Wen drove towards the Hunters Association, only to suddenly realize halfway that the road was blocked, and a large cluster of vehicles couldn’t move forward.

"Was there an accident ahead?"

Wen Wen pushed open the car door, stood on the roof, and looked ahead, only to see evidently a procession parading down the street.

Their flags bore the insignia of... the Creation Church!

"An event of the Creation Church, huh? Speaking of which, the activities of the Creation Church have been getting more frequent lately... starting from Yan Xiu arriving here!"

Wen Wen could faintly sense, hovering over the parade, a unique aura intertwined above them.

It was the Power of Faith of each person in the procession, mingling with the power of their worshipped deity, creating this special force.

This aura made the participants more devout, and made the onlookers more fond of the Creation Church.

Frankly speaking, it was quite a positive force, so Wen Wen didn’t harbor any ill feelings towards the Creation Church.

In a world that’s seemingly calm on the surface but turbulent underneath, having faith is quite fortunate for the people.

But Wen Wen always felt like things weren’t that simple.

He suddenly remembered what Xin Yi had said; the Glory Church was also a secret organization...

And she said, nearly every major secret organization is backed by a Calamity Level existence from the Inner World!

So, the deity worshipped by the Creation Church, which has lasted millennia in the Federation, this so-called creator, who exactly is he?

With each extra person uttering the name of an Evil God, a Calamity Level existence is brought one step closer to the real world...

So many people chanting His name, believing in His existence...

If the creator really is a Calamity Level existence from the Inner World, then the passage between the outer and the Inner World might have been established long ago!

Considering such a possibility, Wen Wen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

He suddenly felt that behind the Creation Church, there lurked an incredibly huge shadow, one that somewhat stifled his breath.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it, according to the scriptures of the Creation Church, the creator is omniscient and omnipotent, creates everything, transcends all, and sits at the pinnacle of the universe, overlooking everything..."

"If that’s really the case, maybe the Inner World was also created by him, it’s also possible."

Wen Wen tried to convince himself not to think about that possibility, but he couldn’t shake the thought.

He vaguely remembered hearing somewhere that all supernatural powers in the world originated from the Inner World!

So the creator...

Wen Wen tapped his head and burst into laughter.

He always thought of things in a dark way, not just the Creation Church, other organizations in his mind were not much better, including the Hunters Association.

Unless there was clear evidence, a thought didn’t prove anything.

"However, no matter what, the fact that they caused a traffic jam is true. If I run into Yan Xiu at the Hunters Association, I’ll definitely rib him about it!"

Due to the parade, Wen Wen had to drive a detour and spent a lot more time before he reached The Eighth Psychiatric Hospital to find Lin Zheyuan.

"You’re someone who doesn’t visit without a reason, tell me, what brings you here?"

Lin Zheyuan, who was processing documents, put down his pen and leaned back in his chair as he saw Wen Wen.

"Umm...I wanted to ask if you guys buy parts from monsters. As you know, I’ve hunted quite a few monsters and have gathered some of these things," Wen Wen said, grinning at Lin Zheyuan across the table.

"We do buy, but normally those items are paid for with Demon Hunting Coins, but since you’re not an internal member of the Hunters Association, we can only pay you in cash."

"Cash..."

Wen Wen hesitated, as cash was not very useful to him. Those items could be exchanged for cash, but cash couldn’t buy those things.

He was considering joining the Hunters Association since he would mainly be recruiting Containment Officers from the Hunters Association, which could be seen as poaching from the association.

In this situation, joining the Hunters Association would make many things much easier for him.

"Appraisal doesn’t cost any money, right?" After hesitating for a moment, Wen Wen asked.

"It doesn’t cost anything," Lin Zheyuan said, covering his forehead in resignation, finding Wen Wen a bit too calculating.

"Okay, where do we do the appraisal then?"

"There aren’t Appraisers in the branch; appraisals need to be mailed to the provincial headquarters, but you can just show them to me, I am more professional than them."

Lin Zheyuan’s Assimilation State Eye of True Knowledge already provided him with a vast amount of forbidden knowledge; appraising some materials from monsters was naturally easy for him.

Normally, as the head of the branch, Lin Zheyuan wouldn’t need to do the appraisal himself, he was just curious about what Wen Wen had brought.

Wen Wen placed the items in front of Lin Zheyuan, letting him examine them one by one.

Seizing this opportunity, he glanced at the document on Lin Zheyuan’s desk.

Demon Hunter Yan Biqing from Fuxi City, failed promotion, fled towards Furong River City, along the way...

Before he could finish reading, Lin Zheyuan closed the document.

Failed promotion, why did he flee? Moreover, a document was issued to nearby Demon Hunters to capture him...

Could a failed promotion lead to unexpected changes?

Uncle Gong’s expression was very odd when he talked about the Assimilation Realm.

What exactly is the Assimilation Realm?
