Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 118: 3 Days

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: 3 Days

The third day, eleven fifty PM.

A slightly overweight man was sitting in front of an old television, watching a drama while continuously shoving chips into his mouth.

The room was dark, lit only by the flickering light of the TV, which created an eerie atmosphere.

However, the man didn’t care; this had been his routine for the past year.

He disliked the outside world, disliked interacting with others, and preferred to stay home alone, watching somewhat outdated TV dramas.

Working was only a means for a better living; if he was content with his current life and faced no hardships, why bother going to work?

That’s what he thought, so even approaching 30, he was still financially dependent on his parents.

Suddenly, the image on the TV froze, turning into a screen full of static; then, the image transformed into a dried-up well!

A woman with long hair, dressed in a blood-stained white nightgown, slowly climbed out of the well. Her movements were sluggish, but with each flicker of the screen, she came closer to it.

The man had a feeling that if this continued, the woman would crawl out of the TV and up to him!

To be honest, he was a bit excited.

He had never had a woman crawl toward him in his entire life...

After several flickers, the woman had reached the edge of the screen, and the man finally got a clear view of her face.

Under her pitch-black hair was a pale face with lifeless eyes. Occasionally, her mouth would open to reveal utter darkness, and beneath the white nightgown was a gruesome mess of flesh and blood!

The man finally realized the gravity of the situation, but his first reaction was not to escape; instead, his legs started shaking, and he released something.

Yes, he was so scared that he wet himself.

Then, the woman placed her hand on the screen, stepped right through it, and crawled beside the man, reaching out to grab him.

The man wanted to run, but he found himself utterly unable to move, only able to watch as the pitch-black hand slowly reached toward him!

In most situations like this, the victim would usually be doomed, but not this time.

The moment the woman stepped out of the TV, a figure dashed over quickly, grabbed her, and hoisted her up effortlessly, as if she was just a shopping bag.

"Waited so long, and you finally came out."

The sudden figure was none other than Wen Wen in Catastrophe Prison Warden mode, who had waited here for two hours to capture this ghost.

This was a powerful ghost hiding inside a television, with the capability to maim and kill on her own. She had completed her vengeance, and now she was indulging in indiscriminate slaughter.

She resided within an old television set, and whoever watched any program played on that TV, regardless of the time or place, would be marked by her.

For those marked, if they happened to watch TV at midnight, she would crawl out of the TV to kill.

After several murders, the old television where she resided was sealed away until Wen Wen found and unsealed it.

Originally, Wen Wen had planned to lure her out by watching the TV himself, but it seemed she knew Wen Wen was not to be trifled with, so she would not come out while he watched.

So Wen Wen hypnotized a nearby "couch potato" to directly watch the actual old TV set while he hid and waited quietly.

Yes, the "couch potato" was right, chosen simply because Wen Wen happened to see him.

Even a slightly stronger ghost follows certain behavioral patterns, so despite Wen Wen’s trap being rudimentary, she eventually still emerged.

The ghost struggled in Wen Wen’s grasp, which, combined with her sinister and terrifying appearance, was quite comical.

Wen Wen’s arm shook rapidly a few times, making the ghost look even more pitiful. Imagine Sadako bungee jumping, and you’d get the idea.

Soon, she was so disoriented by Wen Wen that her eyes rolled back and she foamed at the mouth before being dragged into the Sanctuary. This ghost had special abilities, which is why Wen Wen had gone to great lengths to capture her.

Over the last three nights, Wen Wen had been hunting the ghosts of Furong River City. The weaker ghosts were all captured by Yan Xiu, which although reduced Wen Wen’s prey significantly, resulted in a higher quality of the remaining ghosts.

In these three days, Wen Wen dealt with over a dozen stronger ghosts, three of which possessed special abilities.

The first was Zhou Xun from the bun shop, who had the ability of Mental Shock.

The second was a Water Ghost from an ancient well, capable of drowning an average person with its Water Control Ability.

The third was the white-dressed female ghost he had just captured, who could possess televisions.

As for the other ghosts, although they were also strong, Wen Wen did not find them appealing, so he let the Catastrophe Gloves absorb them.

Besides the abilities of these ghosts, Wen Wen had other gains over these three days, namely the black portion on his left hand, which had now spread to halfway up his finger.

If Wen Wen performed the Mighty King Kong Finger or similar martial arts now with his left hand, the effect would definitely be impressive.

High-quality ghosts, just one could equate to the energy of many weaker ghosts. If he continued at this rate, perhaps one day an extra ring would appear on Wen Wen’s left hand.

After dealing with the female ghost, Wen Wen turned to look at the man whose crotch was moist, and with a burst of qi, he glared sharply with narrowed eyes, causing the man to faint immediately.

Late, if the Hunters Association inquired, the most intense memory in the man’s mind would likely be a golden iris, ensuring they wouldn’t associate this persona with Wen Wen.

"After catching ghosts for three days, I feel pretty gloomy myself. It’s about time to do something else. Xu Hai had better have finished his task, and he better not disappoint me!"

After thinking it over, Wen Wen also threw the old television into the Sanctuary since it might enhance the female ghost he just captured.

Then he left the room.

Unbeknownst to him, after being questioned by the Hunters Association, the man decisively ended his sedentary lifestyle, started working hard, and attained a new lease on life...

Well, mainly because although his memory had been erased, he still felt terrified every time he saw an electronic screen, making it impossible for him to continue his shut-in lifestyle...

Wen Wen leaped across buildings, hurrying home.

To conceal his identity, he always went on foot when capturing ghosts that might have special abilities.

As he ran, he suddenly stopped on a rooftop and then called Lin Zheyuan.

"What now, you want me to clean up your mess again?" Lin Zheyuan, woken up in the middle of the night, asked grumpily.

Wen Wen snickered and said, "Not at all. I’m just looking to get something from you, specifically the memory eraser machine. Can you lend me one?"

"Ha, give you one, heavens know what kind of trouble you’d cause," Lin Zheyuan flatly refused.

Wen Wen pouted and said, "Tsk, aren’t you a little too distrustful? It’s something even a Supporter is eligible to get. Why so secretive with me?"

"Besides, isn’t it too wasteful to use such a bug-like technology only for washing the brains of people who’ve seen supernatural events?"

Lin Zheyuan paused and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Wen Wen cleared his throat and then matter-of-factly said:

"Hmm... just the stuff every guy would want to do, don’t tell me none of you have done it."
