Chapter 278: Chapter 276: Changes in the Sanctuary

Heng An seemed to really like it, so Wen Wen nodded and then briefly pointed out some lapses in Heng An’s training before gracefully leaving the place.

Heng An watched Wen Wen’s retreating figure and blinked his bright eyes twice, then slightly bowed in gratitude.

For Heng An, Wen Wen had been the kindest person to him since his parents had passed away.

He had first rescued him from the hell-like headquarters of Profane Blood, then ordered the man in the metal suit to train him in combat, and even gave him some Supernatural Items.

Heng An was a stubbornly principled person to the point of being pig-headed; if someone showed him kindness, he would surely repay it, and if someone bore him a grudge, he would seek revenge even at the ends of the earth.

In his character, there were many traits others deemed foolish; he would not submit, would not compromise, could not learn the ways of the world, and could not remain detached.

But it was because of these traits that he remained unwavering during four months of torment, and his eyes were so bright.

It was precisely because of these traits that Wen Wen had decided, upon first seeing him, to eventually rescue him and recruit him as a Containment Officer...

...

After leaving Heng An, Wen Wen began to examine the gains from this occasion.

The tangible spoils were just the feces-stained rebar, but Wen Wen was not discouraged, for the evolution of the Sanctuary was far more precious than any spoils.

After some testing and investigation, Wen Wen discovered many new capabilities of the Sanctuary.

First was the chains he had released, which now possessed two modes, binding and attacking.

In binding mode, they were the original thin Black Chains that would bind an enemy before pulling them into the Sanctuary.

In attack mode, the chains released were those used by Wen Li, thick and edged, powerful enough to pierce through walls, providing Wen Wen with an additional method of attack.

Next, the Sanctuary had gained a new power to implant chains into a Monster’s body, allowing control over the Monster’s actions through those chains.

The Monster that had chains implanted could be released from the Sanctuary to perform tasks for Wen Wen.

Moreover, Wen Wen could at any time punish them through the chains implanted in their bodies, or even pull them back into the Sanctuary. Wen Wen planned to observe Tao Qingqing a bit longer, and then consider releasing her to see how she’d behave.

Besides these, many other functions of the Sanctuary had also become more perfected.

The most significant changes were evident in the management core of each level, like the metal-suited man on the first level, the green woman composed of green luminous dots on the second level, and the Water Tadpole on the third level.

These three were no longer confined to the platform in the Central Area of their respective levels but could move freely within their levels, manage the Sanctuary to some degree, and possessed Disaster Level strength.

Even without Wen Wen in the Sanctuary, just with these three, he could stabilize the situation inside.

These were the major changes, but many minor ones were also not to be overlooked.

For example, the air inside the Sanctuary had become fresher, the temperature more comfortable, many devices operated more smoothly, and the Sanctuary’s toilet had even acquired a new water spray feature...

In summary, the Sanctuary underwent a comprehensive upgrade, improving in many aspects.

Of course, apart from these favorable changes, Wen Wen also faced a bit more trouble.

When he pulled the Sanctuary away from Wen Li, he also dragged over some troublesome elements.

A strand of crimson Qi delicately danced over Wen Wen’s hands and occasionally condensed into the form of a human face, snarling at Wen Wen before dissipating into the air.

This was the crimson Qi from Wen Li, which strengthened Wen Wen to some extent but also made him more prone to irritation and loss of control.

Moreover, Wen Wen surprisingly had no way to finely control this Qi, its emergence entirely dependent on his emotions. It was denser when he was agitated and lighter when he was calm.

Fortunately, the amount of Qi pulled over wasn’t too much and still within controllable limits; otherwise, Wen Wen might have had to shave his head and become a monk...

"Since it can drive people mad... let’s call you Frenzy!"

After naming it, Wen Wen sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to ponder how to return to the real world.

As for the side of the Gray Mist Layer, Wen Wen actually didn’t know much, the only method he could think of was to find a superpower user who could locate him in the shallow layers of the Gray Mist and build a passage.

But how to make someone find him across another world accurately, and not end up encountering a Great Devil that could destroy the world, was a big problem.

Unable to figure out anything in the moment, he decided to first check the situation at the Sanctuary. Perhaps an idea would come to him in a flash of inspiration.

As he walked to the Catastrophe Area Containment Warehouse, he suddenly heard a sycophantic voice that made his skin crawl.

"Great master, are you confused? Your humble servant Jidro is at your service," said a man in a butler’s attire appearing on the surface of Jidro’s sunglasses, bowing to Wen Wen.

He spoke haltingly, clearly having only recently learned the Federation Common Language.

Wen Wen looked at it in surprise, not expecting this Containment Item to actually possess the ability to self-learn. He had only given it a Common Language dictionary, and it had truly learned the Federation Common Language.

"You can tell I’m confused?"

In the Sanctuary, Wen Wen always wore the robe of the Calamity Prison Supervisor, and people could generally only see his eyes, not his expression.

Jidro bent over, his ugly face breaking into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Great master, my existence is to serve the likes of you, great ones. Of course, I must possess the ability to discern your concerns."

Its attitude was extremely humble, showing no hint that it initially wanted to trick Wen Wen into becoming its magical old grandfather...

Jidro’s previous master had been a Containment Officer in the Sanctuary, active in the Golden Eagle District a thousand years ago, and was a fairly famous witch.

Of course, she had long disappeared into the annals of history, while Jidro still existed and needed a new master.

According to its observations, Wen Wen seemed to be the highest authority holder in the Sanctuary, and his strength appeared to be very formidable too. Thus, choosing Wen Wen as its master seemed an absolutely reliable decision.

Now, it just needed to demonstrate its worth in front of this new master.

After hearing what it said, Wen Wen actually became interested. This fellow might be able to break through the current predicament.

"Then tell me, what exactly am I confused about?"

Jidro was at a loss for words. It had only maxed out its Observant Skill points; it still couldn’t probe the depths of a person’s heart...

"Great master, your thoughts are as deep as the sea, ignorant Jidro cannot see through them." After a few seconds, the man in the mirror said respectfully.
