Catastrophe Containment Facility

Chapter 312: Chapter 310 Sifumo

Due to the urgency of the mission, Wen Wen didn’t drive his own car to Dongshan Province, but instead used his credentials to get a free plane ticket and flew to Songtao City... If he could fly for free, there was no need to pay for fuel himself.

Before departure, Wen Wen put on a melon peel hat and changed the appearance of his clothes, adopting a different style.

He wore a brown coat and a brown felt hat, and underneath the coat was a black casual suit.

Since the beginning of this mission might not require combat, Wen Wen felt that such attire was more in line with the traits of a detective; it gave him a better feel when investigating cases.

After sitting in his seat for a while, a person boarded the plane that caught Wen Wen’s attention.

This person’s attire was similar to Wen Wen’s, as if cut from the same cloth, and his equipment was even more complete, with a magnifying glass, pocket watch, cigarette holder...

Upon first seeing this person, Wen Wen felt somewhat displeased, probably because they were dressed alike.

What made Wen Wen even more uncomfortable was that this person actually sat next to him, looking at Wen Wen with a smile that gave Wen Wen a very bad feeling, the kind he had when he was preparing to swindle someone.

"I recognize you; you’re one of the Rangers who passed the assessment. Boarding this flight at this time must be for the case in Songtao Province, so you must be the Pervert," he said.

Wen Wen’s face turned ugly as he glared at the newcomer with eyes wide open in anger, "Who are you calling names?"

"Er, sorry, but I think I got it right."

Looking at Wen Wen’s gaze, as if he wanted to mince him up and feed him to the pigs, the man spoke with a little less confidence and sat next to Wen Wen in silence.

Actually, after this person uttered the word ’Ranger’, Wen Wen had started to gather related information from his memory, and finally remembered that this person was also a member who had passed the assessment.

But the fact that the other party could say his code name at first glance, while Wen Wen needed a reminder to recall that this guy was also a Ranger...

"I’m Sifumo, codenamed ’Great Detective’, also a Ranger who passed this assessment, and like you, I’ve taken on the task for Songtao City. We should cooperate well this time," the man said as he took off his hat, revealing short curly hair, and extended his hand to Wen Wen.

Great Detective...

Wen Wen clenched his teeth; it was this guy who had stolen his codename.

"I am Wen Wen, a professional detective, my codename..." Wen Wen prepared to shake hands.

"You are the Pervert, I know," Sifumo said to Wen Wen with a smile, showing eight neatly arranged teeth.

But that smile made Wen Wen wish he could break the man’s teeth, and his extended hand retracted back; he didn’t want to shake hands with such an annoying person.

Quite frankly, there was nothing about the man that was rude to Wen Wen, but Wen Wen just didn’t like the sight of him, probably because he had stolen his persona.

And Sifumo... wasn’t he the Demon Hunter who came second in the second round of the assessment, solving those ten scenarios faster than Wen Wen!

"Mr. Wen, since we’ve met here, let’s discuss the case," Sifumo said, taking the impending case very seriously.

"Wait for me a moment," Wen Wen suddenly stood up and then headed to the plane’s bathroom, locking the door.

He first took out the Ranger Terminal and checked the mission, discovering indeed there was a Ranger codenamed ’Great Detective’ who had also taken this task, which alleviated his suspicion.

If Wen Wen didn’t verify someone who abruptly claimed to know him out of thin air, then he wouldn’t be Wen Wen.

Then Wen Wen twisted his hat on his head, changing his clothes to a deep purple hue.

A moment ago, there was an old lady nearby who, after seeing Wen Wen and Sifumo, two men dressed in "Couple Outfits," had a very strange look on her face. She was probably thinking some pretty bad thoughts.

So, Wen Wen decided to change the colors of his clothes to avoid any misunderstandings.

But when he came out, he found that the old lady and Sifumo were staring with wide, round eyes. Why had the color of his clothes changed after he entered the restroom?

Sifumo shook his head to himself, saying, "Typical pervert, even changing the colors of his clothes in the restroom."

Wen Wen sat back down and said to Sifumo, "Now we can start our discussion."

Sifumo smiled and said, "The current case is like this: the crime scene is called Fairy Tale Town, a scenic little town that began construction three years ago."

"A few days ago, it was still operating normally, but suddenly the town was locked down. It appears to be business as usual, but as soon as someone goes in, they cannot come out again. It’s suspected that other supernatural powers are involved."

Wen Wen nodded his head, as he was also aware of this information.

"In addition, through my connections, I’ve found some more information. In these three years, Fairy Tale Town has shown signs of supernatural events several times, but no bloodshed has occurred, so the local Demon Hunter Squad didn’t follow up."

Sifumo leaned closer to Wen Wen and whispered, "If it were you, would you neglect an investigation of a place with frequent anomalies just because there are no fatalities?"

"In the past three years, all the bloodshed cases have been on this side of Songtao City, and there hasn’t been a single incident around Fairy Tale Town. It’s even rare to see common thefts. Don’t you find that odd?"

Wen Wen thoughtfully nodded. Such circumstances reminded him of the headquarters of Profane Blood, where a place that seemed exceedingly safe could potentially hide unknown dangers.

Sifumo smiled, knowing he had persuaded Wen Wen. "By your expression, it seems you agree with me. So now let’s discuss what we should do once we get to Songtao City. I think..."

"Not what you think, but what I think!" Wen Wen stated assertively.

Sifumo was taken aback. Why was this guy suddenly throwing such an act in the middle of a good conversation? But he wasn’t angry and instead asked quietly, "So you think we should...?"

Wen Wen chuckled and said, "I think you should first finish what you’re saying, and then I’ll share my opinion."

Sifumo’s expression was priceless: "(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Crazy! We can’t discuss like this."

...

The two argued with an air of tension on the plane for a long time, ending up parting on bad terms.

They both stubbornly stuck to their own views on how to handle the situation in Fairy Tale Town and ultimately decided to go their separate ways.

By the time they got off the plane it was late at night. After leaving the airport, Wen Wen found a secluded spot to summon his car. Just as he was about to drive off, he noticed an awkward figure standing outside the window—it was Sifumo.

"Um... I saw that your plan was to start at the Songtao City branch too. Could you give me a lift? I don’t know the way."

Wen Wen scoffed and said, "Didn’t we agree to go our separate ways? Go take a taxi."

After a moment of silence, Sifumo said, "That’s why I... got lost."

Wen Wen: "..."

This guy actually got lost looking for a taxi and ended up here!
