Chapter 261: Chapter 259: Warm Heart Hospital

Indeed, Wen Wen had planned to release the trained monsters.

Of course, he wasn’t kind enough to grant these monsters freedom, he merely intended to turn them into forces he could command at will.

As the Sanctuary grew, there would be more and more Containment Officers, but strictly speaking, Wen Wen couldn’t actually command the Officers to do anything, and some tasks couldn’t be entrusted to them.

Therefore, Wen Wen needed subordinates who would completely obey his orders, which is where these monsters became valuable.

At this moment, on the second floor of the Sanctuary, in the Catastrophe Area cell, Wen Wen sat in a chair, squeezing a blood bag in his hand.

Kneeling before Wen Wen was Tao Qingqing who drank a mouthful of blood each time Wen Wen squeezed it out, extremely docile, a far cry from her initial fierce demeanor.

"Very good, if you can keep being this obedient, you might have a chance to go out and do tasks for me." Wen Wen said, patting Tao Qingqing’s hair.

Currently drinking blood, Tao Qingqing hummed contentedly and upon hearing Wen Wen’s words, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

Although her treatment in the Sanctuary wasn’t bad—aside from not being allowed to leave the cell—all her other requests were largely met by Wen Wen.

But if there truly came a day when she could leave, she wouldn’t miss this place.

Wen Wen looked at Tao Qingqing’s submissive figure with a malicious smile. The female vampire who once shouted about wanting to devour his flesh and blood was now as docile as a kitten, how could he not be pleased?

Although he had contained many monsters, Tao Qingqing always held a special place in Wen Wen’s heart.

Firstly, because she was the first monster Wen Wen captured, and secondly, because she was the trophy he valued the most.

To capture her, Wen Wen had invested far more than what he often boasted about as catching a monster with minimal effort.

In fact, for an ordinary person, even one with outstanding abilities, it would be a challenging feat to capture a vampire alone.

From the moment he discovered Tao Qingqing to the day he truly contained her in the Sanctuary, those days were the most earnest days for Wen Wen.

Before capturing Tao Qingqing, Wen Wen had only met her once; beyond that, whether testing her vigilance or probing her abilities and habits, Wen Wen never revealed himself directly to her.

Because he was unsure of what a vampire could do, he naturally imagined her as omnipotent.

And indeed, if Tao Qingqing had any premonition of someone targeting her, she would certainly be able to overpower them with her strength.

But, Tao Qingqing had never noticed Wen Wen’s meticulousness.

After Wen Wen understood Tao Qingqing, perhaps even better than she understood herself, he began setting traps.

Compared to all of Wen Wen’s prior preparations, the final trap didn’t involve much technical prowess. It merely consisted of using fresh blood as bait, employing folk remedies collected for targeting vampires, and setting numerous traps, then erasing all his own scent and waiting for her to take the bait.

If she didn’t fall for it, Wen Wen would immediately take a distance.

The plan seemed perfect and flawless, yet if Wen Wen had made a minor mistake at the time, it could have resulted in a fatal consequence.

Therefore, capturing Tao Qingqing was the greatest challenge Wen Wen had ever faced; after that, every hunt Wen Wen undertook seemed far more dangerous than capturing a Calamity Level vampire, but in reality, Wen Wen always had considerable margin for error.

Since the capture was difficult, it was naturally of significant meaning.

Hence, to this day, Wen Wen would often feed Tao Qingqing and even consider getting some rare blood for her when he obtained it.

Of course, if it were merely a matter of difficulty in capture, Tao Qingqing would be nothing more than a delicate mascot.

But Tao Qingqing was very useful to Wen Wen. In the early days of his taking over the Sanctuary, he had constantly used the Vampire Constitution, until Yan Biqing’s traits became extremely helpful, and then the frequency of using the Vampire Constitution slowed down.

The most important thing was that Wen Wen saw a glimmer of domestication in her.

Now, the one who performed the best in Wen Wen’s "Monster Study" plan was Tao Qingqing, and she was incredibly docile towards Wen Wen.

Even if Wen Wen wanted to execute her on the spot, she wouldn’t have any complaints.

This must be what’s called Stockholm Syndrome, he thought. As long as this continued, she would eventually be extremely useful one day.

However, regardless of how Tao Qingqing behaved, it was all meaningless until the day she could go against her own bloodlust under Wen Wen’s command. Only then would Wen Wen truly believe that she had surrendered.

As for now, it was far from happening...

"Tsk tsk, Master Feng Bei’s theories really do have some merit..." Wen Wen muttered after feeding her a bag of blood, swaying his head as he walked down the corridor and away.

...

The tree outside the Warm Heart Spirituality Hospital had turned yellow and withered, leaves carpeted the ground yet no one bothered to sweep them up, the door was sealed with tape that had long since rotted away.

What was once a tidy psychiatric hospital had fallen into disrepair in less than half a year.

"Detective Wu, Detective Wu, have you really caught a killer before?" A little girl with a ponytail, following behind Wen Wen, chattered incessantly.

"I have, at a convenience store in Luhui City, where he killed three men and a woman. The perpetrator was meticulous and skilled, but in the end, I still caught him," Wen Wen replied nonchalantly as he pushed open the hospital’s main gate.

He had planned to explore the psychiatric hospital inside and out by himself at midnight tonight, but after a brief investigation, he found out that the Warm Heart Spirituality Hospital had been rented by the local Paradise amusement park for one of their attractions.

Every night, thrill-seeking youngsters would pay to embark on an adventure here. It had been in business for a few months without any incidents.

Since Paradise only rented the right to use this space before selling it off, they hadn’t made any significant modifications, just some minor arrangements.

In fact, if it were renovated, this place would be nothing more than an entertainment venue.

If not, it remained a genuine Haunted House. The overnight disappearance of all the staff had become its biggest selling point, and Paradise didn’t have to spend extra for this feature.

This was both good and bad for Wen Wen. The good was that aside from a few costly devices, everything else remained as it was, which could help Wen Wen find some clues.

The bad, however, was that it was nearly impossible for Wen Wen to find a time when there were no people around.

And he didn’t want to abuse a Demon Hunter’s power to clear the place, so he had no choice but to blend in with the ’adventure’ seeking crowd to see if he could discover anything.

"So, what made his methods so skilled?" asked the little girl, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Wen Wen offhandedly said, "He first captured two women, then blindfolded them and hung them..."

The little girl’s happy expression instantly turned grave, and with a pout, she ran off from beside Wen Wen, pointing at him exclaiming, "You’re a liar, a big fat liar, you just said he killed three men and one woman..."
