Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Dull Heartbeat

The guy spying from outside frowned when he saw Wen Wen disappear.

He wanted to enter the water to check on Wen Wen’s condition but forcefully stopped himself.

The order from above was that if the other party had not discovered the branch, even at the cost of death, he was not allowed to expose the existence of the branch, so he remained hidden outside and did not act rashly.

Less than ten minutes later, Wen Wen gradually emerged from the lake, one hand gripping a slimy fish tail, and the other holding a small bead.

In the water, Wen Wen first easily knocked out the catfish and then found the aimlessly wandering ghost, turning it into a Resentful Soul Bead.

He had spent less than three minutes on these two tasks in total.

Then Wen Wen tried to approach Lishui Villa from underwater, but after swimming only a few dozen meters, he realized that it was essentially unfeasible.

The closer he got, the more he could sense the dull breathing sounds and the strong heartbeat.

That heartbeat was incredibly dull, like the muffled sound produced by a huge cowhide drum in the water, and Wen Wen could not imagine just how gigantic the creature with such a heartbeat must be.

He knew that if he got any closer, it would attract the attention of that thing, so he wisely did not go any further.

Emerging from the water, Wen Wen used his ghost water control ability to move the water from his body, but he still felt uncomfortably damp, so he sighed and said,

"Not wearing underwear does have its benefits, at least when wet, it doesn’t cling to the body and feel uncomfortable."

Afterward, Wen Wen did not linger there any longer, immediately carrying the catfish and driving away, without any attachment to Lishui Villa.

The one who had been intently watching Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree after watching Wen Wen leave.

He tapped the communicator on his ear and said, "The target has shown no suspicious behavior, confirmed as a Demon Hunter here for ghost hunting, no problems."

...

After leaving the vicinity of Lishui Villa, Wen Wen made a call to the Yanling City Hunters Association, asking them to deal with the large fish.

This catfish had consumed quite a few people, so Wen Wen wasn’t interested in taking it to the Sanctuary as feed, since he still had a bit of a psychological quirk about it.

However, looking at the catfish, Wen Wen somewhat understood why Yanling City had not been able to resolve the issue here.

Because there was indeed the aura of ghosts here, they had likely chalked up those drowning incidents to ghostly acts.

But these ghosts were too weak, so weak that they could not be captured using normal methods.

And the main cause of the drowning incidents, this large catfish, was just an anomalous animal and had not drawn their attention.

After handing over the catfish to the Supporters, Wen Wen then began to continue hunting ghosts, because he naturally had to play his part fully.

He suspected that there were spies from Profane Blood in Yanling City’s Hunters Association, so in front of the Hunters Association of Yanling City, Wen Wen could not afford any slip-ups.

Before driving to the next location, Wen Wen found a secluded place, entered the Sanctuary, and arrived at the Catastrophe Area Containment Warehouse.

There are currently three containment items in the Catastrophe Area Containment Warehouse.

Number one is a husky with a human head, codenamed Human-Headed Dog, and it can greatly suppress ghosts.

Number two is a not very tall pine wood puppet, codenamed Knee Smasher Puppet, which shatters the knees of any creature that looks down at it.

Number three’s codename is ’Infinite Proliferation Human Body’—a distorted mass of flesh composed of various human bodies. It is ’Zheng Feng.’

After Wen Wen killed the Shadow Demon Baliel, Zheng Feng completely lost the capability to think, not even the idea of attacking existed anymore, and it turned into a mass of flesh that could proliferate infinitely just by being cut.

So he was no longer considered a superpower user, but a containment item.

At this point, Wen Wen realized that containment items and monsters, or superpower users, could actually transform into each other.

Once a superpower user lost their own will, completely dominated by the force of superpower, they might also be considered a containment item.

However, this time Wen Wen wasn’t here to find ’Zheng Feng,’ but to look for ’Human-Headed Dog.’

Since the Human-Headed Dog was the bane of ghosts, Wen Wen planned to use it to capture ghosts.

Even though it looked like a dog, having stayed in a cell for so long, the Human-Headed Dog was not at all lonely.

When it saw Wen Wen, it still trotted over and affectionately wagged its tail.

"In a while, I’ll take you out for a walk, and you can help me catch ghosts, how about that?"

The Human-Headed Dog nodded humanly, and now its head was completely human, devoid of any canine features, and its appearance was handsome; it wouldn’t be surprising if a pervert had bold thoughts about it.

After obtaining its consent, Wen Wen came out of the sanctuary, snapped his fingers with his left hand, and the Human-Headed Dog appeared in front of him.

Despite the constraints of the sanctuary, the Human-Headed Dog would cooperate with Wen Wen, but since this creature was the only containment item that had voluntarily come to him, Wen Wen felt some respect for its desires was due.

As soon as the Human-Headed Dog came out, Three Cubs’ eyes widened, and it snarled fiercely at it.

Three Cubs felt its status was threatened, wondering if Wen Wen was thinking of keeping another pet.

Just the thought of someone competing even for the scraps of affection made Three Cubs feel a sorrow well up inside.

However, Wen Wen paid no attention to its little schemes and instead stroked his chin in thought.

"Using the Catastrophe Gloves to utilize containment items, I can ignore some of the negative effects of the containment items, so I should also be able to use my strongest containment item, I need to find a chance to really test it."

The strongest containment item Wen Wen mentioned was the ’Twelvefold Philosophy Power’ bracelet, which he had relegated to a corner to gather dust after being forced into a discommoding situation and had never used it again.

The limitations of the bracelet were significant, so it seemed somewhat ineffective.

But if it could be used through the sanctuary to bypass those limitations, the Philosophy Bracelet could potentially boost Wen Wen’s strength to a very impressive level!

Wen Wen shook his head, deciding not to consider the Philosophy Bracelet for now, and proceeded with the Human-Headed Dog toward a dilapidated building.

Several years ago, multiple slaughter incidents had occurred in this building, and the restless undead spirits of those who were unwilling to pass on still lingered there.

The Human-Headed Dog’s tail wagged furiously as it sensed the abundance of ghosts here, showing great interest in them.

Thus, Wen Wen played with the snake, walked the dog, and leisurely entered this sealed-off perilous place.

With the close cooperation of the Human-Headed Dog, they easily swept through the haunted building, busy until midnight before Wen Wen drove back to the hotel.

As long as the Human-Headed Dog stood still, it could weaken the ghosts, and a slight bark could make the ghosts unable to escape.

Except for one ghost with special abilities, all the others in this place couldn’t even run away; Wen Wen forced them all into beads.

The one special ghost was the perpetrator behind the series of slaughters in this building, a notoriously infamous arsonist.

Years ago, he was sentenced to death, and normally, he shouldn’t have become a resentful spirit wandering in the living world.

But there was a brainless youth who idolized the arsonist and continued committing crimes using his methods.

Eventually, he successfully summoned the malefactor to the real world, turning him into a rampaging ghost, close in nature to a fierce spirit.
