Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 127 - 125 Game Starts

He’s come to play games with Wen Wen again!

Wen Wen rose from the car door, rudely pushing aside the women around him, some of whom were pushed to the ground.

Then, ignoring the curses from those women, he walked straight into the alley and stood opposite Gao Fang.

"What are you up to this time."

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, this time I found an interesting prize," Gao Fang said happily.

I’ve been waiting for a long time ...

"This means he cannot find me directly but has to stake out by waiting next to my car..."

"He knows where I live, who I am, but cannot precisely track my whereabouts..."

"So, he doesn’t have the ability to follow me all the time..."

He pondered this inwardly, but his face showed no sign of anything amiss, merely watching Gao Fang’s performance with a detached gaze.

Gao Fang happily took out a pink thermos with cat ears painted on it from his backpack.

"This is a Containment Item, named the Hundred Flavors Cup. Fill it with water here, wait a while for it to transform, and it will produce any liquid you want—alcohol, coffee, soda, and... blood!"

"Oh, right, the premise is that the liquid has been stored here before."

"How about it, it’s magical, isn’t it!"

His manner of introducing the item, like a TV shopping host shouting about a deal for just nine ninety-nine, trying hard to hoodwink viewers, made it hard to believe in its effectiveness.

Wen Wen didn’t respond but simply snapped his fingers, and a Mental Shock was launched straight at Gao Fang.

Last time when fighting that black mass, physical attacks hardly touched it, so this time Wen Wen used a Mental Shock, hoping it would be effective.

But when the Mental Shock hit Gao Fang, it was as if it struck air, doing nothing at all.

Gao Fang looked at Wen Wen’s action with slight confusion, then he realized what had happened.

"You just tried to hit me, right? Must have been some kind of Mental Attack... Don’t bother, Mental Attacks are useless on me."

He didn’t get angry at Wen Wen’s sneak attack but instead tapped his head and said:

"It’s empty in here!"

"This game must go on, even if you kill me, it won’t help."

"To put it in terms you can understand, the me standing in front of you is actually not me, just a tool conveying the will of the original entity. Once I die, all of my experiences will return to the original entity."

"I exist solely for the original entity’s pleasure; therefore, I only possess the ability to protect myself and lack the ability to attack."

"With your strength, you might be able to kill me, but after you kill me, you’ll only make the original entity more interested. It will send another will messenger. Last time it was a shadow, this time it’s me, and next time, who knows what it’ll be."

After Gao Fang finished speaking, Wen Wen fell silent.

From these words, Wen Wen could roughly understand that the thing standing in front of him was similar to a puppet controlled by Xu Hai, killing it was meaningless.

"I’m not satisfied with the prize, that thing is of no use to me."

Wen Wen looked at the cute-shaped cup and said, since he would keep searching for a prize if Wen Wen wasn’t satisfied, then let him keep searching. Wen Wen was happy to be left in peace.

"This item is so interesting, and you’re still not satisfied?" Gao Fang widened his eyes, looking at Wen Wen in exaggeration.

"But it doesn’t matter if you’re not satisfied, you only get one free exchange, the game starts now."

Wen Wen: "..."

"Let’s start with the game content. Our game is about this person. You’ll hunt him, and I’ll ensure he leaves Furong River City safely!"

"If he dies in Furong River City, then you win. If he successfully leaves Furong River City, then I win."

Gao Fang showed Wen Wen a picture, on which was a middle-aged man wearing a white T-shirt and a brown casual suit on the outside.

"His name is Yan Biqing, his advancement to the Assimilation Realm failed, and he’s currently being pursued by the Hunters Association. He’s now hidden in Furong River City."

Yan Biqing...

Wen Wen had seen this man before in the files of the Hunters Association, and he knew that Yan was about to arrive in Furong River City, but how did this person know?

So, either this guy has specific channels in the Hunters Association, or he’s actually one of them!

"You said we would play a game, but what kind of game is this?" Wen Wen asked, frowning.

"Hehe, there are not many things in this city that interest me; he’s just an interesting ’toy.’ Of course, he’s not as interesting as you." Gao Fang licked his lips, making Wen Wen involuntarily feel his own lips go dry.

"If you win, I will give you this magical cup. If you lose..." Gao Fang drawled.

"What if I lose?" Wen Wen had already decided to play this so-called ’game.’"

"If you lose, I want to see what exactly that dark mass behind you is."

"Dark mass?" Wen Wen asked, frowning. He wasn’t aware of anything behind him.

"Yes, a darkness that’s been suppressed to the extreme. I can see through most people with one glance, but I can’t see through that thing, so I want to take a look!"

Gao Fang’s eyes widened with anticipation, gazing at Wen Wen as if wanting to dissect him.

Wen Wen asked in a deep voice, "With your abilities, if you really wanted to see, I couldn’t stop you, so why must we play this game?"

"Hehe, at the core, you’re the same as me, and it’s much more fun to play games with you," Gao Fang replied.

Wen Wen rolled his eyes and disdainfully said to Gao Fang, "I thought you hated doing things with purpose. So why do you want to see the darkness and also want to play games with me?"

"Yes, I’m being hypocritical, but I’m enjoying it. What can you do about it?" Gao Fang laughed uproariously, with Wen Wen unable to discern the joke.

"To ensure the fairness of the game, I won’t initiate contact with him within the next five days, nor will I drive him out of Furong River City. If you don’t succeed within five days, then you should be careful!"

"All the rules have been laid out. Are you ready to start the game?" His tone suddenly turned serious.

Wen Wen nodded.

"Then now, let the game begin!"

A delicate balance scale appeared in Gao Fang’s hand, which swayed a few times before barely achieving balance, then turned into colored dots of light and disappeared into the air.

"What’s this?"

Wen Wen raised his hand warily and asked as a colorful game controller emblem appeared on his hand.

"This is the proof that the game has started. To ensure the fairness and integrity of the entire game, this thing will disappear once the game is over."

"As long as you follow the rules, this thing won’t harm you a bit. But then again, there aren’t really any rules to the games between us."

After a sinister cackle, Gao Fang’s figure vanished into thin air, leaving Wen Wen helpless.

Wen Wen looked up at the night sky that was beginning to lighten, sighing in resignation.

"Ah... utterly nonsensical. In the end, it’s all about strength. I don’t believe that guy would dare to mess with the big shots of the Hunters Association."
