Chapter 139: Chapter 137: Someone from Above Comes

A glint flashed through Gao Fang’s eyes as he stared at Grandi.

To complete the game, he needed to ascertain the other party’s game chips, thus he possessed the ability to see through the opponent.

His ability allowed him to see through most people; therefore, he was so surprised when he saw Wen Wen because he could not see Wen Wen’s chips.

Grandi, unmasked, willingly let Gao Fang observe.

A tiny game marker appeared in Gao Fang’s eyes, his gaze penetrating into Grandi’s body, and then he suddenly broke out into a cold sweat.

In his eyes, behind Grandi’s soul, there was a blurry shadow.

That shadow was a woman, glowing green, naked from the waist up, holding Grandi’s soul like a baby in her arms. In her presence, half of Grandi’s soul also turned green.

Beneath the woman was a monstrously large, indescribable and intimidating existence.

An unspeakable mass of flesh, twisted plant roots, hard and bizarrely shaped carapaces, sharp and fierce irregular limbs—all these horrifying limbs mixed together in an inconceivable way to form an existence that would drive a normal person mad at a mere glance.

If not for Gao Fang being merely a puppet-like split entity, his main body might have sustained severe damage!

Even so, his main body also suffered greatly, spitting out a mouthful of foul blood, harboring a deep apprehension for Furong River City.

Furong River City was no longer safe; after finishing this game, he must leave immediately!

That existence, focusing on the real world, might want to drop a candy or might wish to step on an anthill!

Gao Fang disappeared on the spot without saying a word, leaving only Liao Jiaxin and Grandi in the night, facing each other with nothing to say.

"I thought he had more courage... But if it were me, I would probably turn and run too."

Grandi shook his head in disappointment, daunted by the thought of what he could become without anyone’s help.

But he also knew that, in fact, no one could help him.

The entity influencing him was definitely not a Disaster Level monster, it might not even be at the Catastrophe Level!

Although such entities find it challenging to influence reality, once they do, ordinary people cannot stop them!

...

The next day, as usual, Wen Wen arrived at the Hunters Association. Since he was already part of the organization, clocking in on time was a good habit.

Alright, he just didn’t want to miss any useful information; otherwise, with his nature, making him clock in on time...

Only if they docked his pay!

No, now docking his pay wouldn’t even work because he had money.

When he arrived, a meeting was in session, and Lin Zheyuan gestured for Wen Wen to come in.

Being allowed to participate in the meeting was a form of recognition for Wen Wen, unlike Jiao Xinlei, who had joined the organization earlier and was now pitifully squatting outside the conference room.

"Last night, in an abandoned factory in the Northern Suburb, a Catastrophe Level force attacked, and the remnants of that force are still present. This matter cannot be underestimated and has exceeded Furong River City’s authority to handle,"

All the Demon Hunters were solemn, fearing major turmoil as the force of the Catastrophe Level appeared again in Furong River City.

And there was nothing Furong River Hunters Association could do but wait for higher-ups to investigate.

Wen Wen also looked shocked, as if quite frightened.

Lin Zheyuan glanced at Wen Wen, thinking his reaction was normal, given that Wen Wen must have seen that eye before, so such a reaction was to be expected.

But what he did not know was that Wen Wen had caused that attack.

"I have already reported to the headquarters in Haibei Province. A Higher-order Hunter ’Bing He’ from the upper sequence will arrive in Furong River City within a few days to investigate this incident. We need to deal with Yan Biqing before then..."

"Then focus on handling the matters related to Catastrophe Level Strength!"

Anything related to Catastrophe Level monsters was no trivial matter, so Yan Biqing, who previously had Furong River Hunters Association on high alert, now became an uncertain factor behind an even bigger event.

They needed to deal with Yan Biqing before the higher-ups arrived.

’Tch, people from above are coming to investigate me... I’ll need to be more cautious for a while.’

Wen Wen found it ironically amusing; he had done that thing to address the situation behind Yan Biqing, only to bring more trouble upon himself.

However, as long as he was careful enough, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Also... How are Higher-order Hunters different from ordinary Rangers?

"Wen Wen, you and Uncle Gong, head to that abandoned factory and perform a basic investigation, but remember to only record the situation and refrain from any extraneous actions."

"Catastrophe Level is completely different from anything you have faced before; any adventurous actions could lead to fatal consequences, or maybe even worse than death."

"Additionally, that place is very remote, You Han, look into the vehicles that went there yesterday and check for any suspicious people coming and going."

After briefing them on the situation, Lin Zheyuan began issuing commands.

Wen Wen felt somewhat fortunate that he had disguised himself the night before and even had the driver park elsewhere, then walked on his own to the location.

Otherwise, he would certainly have been discovered by the Hunters Association.

At that moment, Wen Wen was somewhat thankful to the street thugs who had messed up his car, as if he had driven his own car to the Northern Suburb, it would definitely have raised suspicions.

Afterwards, Wen Wen headed with Gong Baoding to the Northern Suburb factory. Along the way, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious.

Wen Wen kept asking about small issues he faced when using his Supernatural Power, which Gong Baoding answered patiently, benefitting Wen Wen a great deal.

The operation was actually very simple; they only needed to make some records at the location, but to prevent Wen Wen, who was unfamiliar with the situation, from doing anything inappropriate, Gong Baoding took the lead.

It was unexpected that inside the Catastrophe Containment Facility, Wen Wen was Gong Baoding’s direct superior, but outside in the real world, Wen Wen had become Gong Baoding’s assistant...

On the way, besides answering Wen Wen’s questions, Gong Baoding only engaged in mundane conversations with Wen Wen.

He didn’t probe about the Sanctuary at all, which Wen Wen found very strange. Didn’t he have any suspicions at all?

If it had been Wen Wen himself, he would definitely have harbored suspicions about him.

But what he didn’t realize was that Gong Baoding was simply trying to keep himself out of trouble.

The vast experience of countless predecessors from the Hunters Association taught him that the less you know about what you cannot understand, the safer you are.

The two drove to the factory, and then got out of the car; Gong Baoding stared at the large area cordoned off by the Supporters, lost in thought.

Without even entering, Gong Baoding could feel the surging power from the place, and that power was familiar to him.

It was the aura of a mysterious power from inside the Sanctuary!

That day, he indeed hadn’t sensed it wrong; that individual was a Catastrophe Level existence capable of activity in the real world!

A Catastrophe Level existence able to move freely in the outside world, regardless of which faction, is an uncontrollable factor and could even impact the dynamic among the major powers.

To think that even the Hunters Association, which suppresses all secret organizations within the Federation with its ’True Self’ level order hunters, only possesses eight such figures!

But now the sad truth was that Gong Baoding was actually that person’s subordinate, so he could only help by concealing some critical information.

He turned to look at Wen Wen, who was shivering, teeth chattering, eyes glazed over, and skin covered in a thin sweat, clearly terrified.

Acting was also a basic skill for a detective; if he entered the entertainment industry, Wen Wen might even make a name for himself as a method actor.
