Chapter 356: Chapter 354: The Faceless Demon

"Whimper, whimper!"

The unexpected approach of those large hands caught the woman off guard; she had never imagined someone could emerge from a cell phone.

Within her terrified gaze, Wen Wen’s body stepped out from the phone, lifting the woman high, his eyes flashing with a piercing cold light.

When he saw the emaciated man tied up nearby, his expression slightly relaxed, "He’s not dead, that’s good. As long as he’s alive, there’s hope."

Then his eyes shifted to a couple’s photo. The woman in the photo was clearly the one he was gripping, while the man... was overweight.

Wen Wen looked at them both strangely. How had they turned a perfectly good chubby man into a stick figure...

Then he sized up the woman he was holding; her features were fairly delicate, but her clothes were rather skimpy, more so than those worn by girls working late night shifts at hair salons...

When the woman noticed Wen Wen looking at her, she threw him a seductive look that would usually be irresistible to most men, as it radiated the sort of charm that could ignite primal desires at a glance.

However, Wen Wen was entirely unmoved, even feeling a bit amused. After all his exposure to Hu Youling, such little charms couldn’t tempt him.

"Tone it down, ugly succubus. I’m a decent person, keep this up and I’ll let you taste the Holy Water," he warned.

Even without her Charm, Hu Youling would still be considered an extraordinarily beautiful woman, but this demonic miss, with her Charm stripped away, was at best fairly delicate.

Upon hearing Wen Wen call her ugly, the woman went berserk. Her hands transformed into gruesome claws, and her heart-shaped tail grew sharp spikes.

She attacked Wen Wen’s arms with claws and tail, but to no effect. Her strength, barely reaching Disaster Level, couldn’t even scratch the paint off his dark arm.

Not even Wen Wen himself could damage the Catastrophe Gloves; her struggles were utterly pointless, and the outcome had been determined the moment Wen Wen appeared.

If Wen Wen hadn’t grasped her face, she might have managed to fight back somewhat, but having lost mobility, she was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of him.

A scantily clad succubus, baring her teeth and claws in front of him was quite an eye-catching sight, but Wen Wen was in a rush and had no time to play with her.

So, with a sinister grin spreading across his face and an ominous aura emanating, Wen Wen softly told the woman, "Struggle more, and I’ll crush your face."

The succubus’s eyes widened in terror; she could tell that Wen Wen was serious.

Next, Wen Wen conjured a Water Poker and flipped it gently towards the tied man, cutting through his bindings and releasing him.

The man’s mind was already unclear; leaving him unattended might have led to his death, so Wen Wen made an emergency call. Afterward, he led the woman into the bathroom and pulled her into a Sanctuary.

Unlike Wang Zixuan, this woman had completely turned into a demon. The human consciousness of the original host had vanished, so Wen Wen treated her purely as a monster.

"Ah, it’s a pity her strength is a bit stronger than Hu Youling’s. Otherwise, they would have made great sisters," he lamented.

After dealing with the female succubus, Wen Wen made another call.

This time, after transporting through the phone, Wen Wen found himself in a place that looked horribly rundown, as if it had undergone a fierce battle.

A whole team of Supporters was collecting data here, while a Demon Hunter, sitting on a chair with headphones on, closed his eyes and listened to music.

"Unprofessional, way too unprofessional. Although my approach was quite secretive, it’s absurd that as a Demon Hunter, not even a hint of anomaly was detected. Moreover, relying completely on supporters for research information is a big no-no..."

Hiding in the shadows, Wen Wen simply observed these people’s methods and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Among all the Demon Hunters and supporters he had encountered, those from Lugang City were the least professional, or rather, the most distracted.

With this kind of work ethic, engaging in Demon Hunting could lead to fatalities.

Seeing their approach, Wen Wen understood they hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the messages.

Without staying much longer, Wen Wen continued searching one by one. Including Wang Zixuan and the Female Succubus encountered earlier, all seven people who hadn’t forwarded the message had been transformed into bodies suitable for demon possession.

Among them, three had completely turned into demons, but Wen Wen had only captured one Succubus.

Another person was in the same condition as Wang Zixuan, but he was not as fortunate; his family had long given up on him, and Wen Wen spent quite some time before finding him under a large bridge.

Then Wen Wen took him to the Sanctuary, where he was temporarily guarded by a man in a metal suit.

The remaining two were in a state yet to be triggered, but they were like tinderboxes, ready to explode at any moment. Wen Wen knocked them unconscious and placed them in the Sanctuary to prevent them from causing harm.

"These seven were just the unforwarded message recipients that Wang Junyi discovered on his own; already five of them had become very dangerous. How many has Wang Junyi not discovered?"

The deeper he understood, the colder Wen Wen felt. From those traces and the Female Succubus, he inferred that all demons that used humans to appear in the real world possessed at least Disaster Level strength.

Whether it was the Insect Demon or the woman who seemed like a high-ranking Succubus, judging by their forms, they should both be Disaster Level monsters.

Now possessing only Disaster Level strength, this could only be explained by their recent arrival in reality; they still could not use their full power. Once they fully adapt, they might at least be Disaster Level monsters!

"Where exactly is the source..."

...

"Lord Klui, someone is targeting the Human Demon Embryos; you must think of something quickly."

The completely changed Breeding Demon knelt before a man in a white suit, lamenting sadly.

"What’s the situation?"

The faceless Klui, dressed in a white suit, asked in a deep voice. He had no facial features or hair; his entire head looked like a glossy boiled egg—he was the Faceless Demon.

The excited Breeding Demon said, "One of the newly hatched children has lost contact, two children in the process of hatching are slowing down, and they’re suffering. Also, contact with two unhatched Human Demon Embryos has significantly weakened..."

"Yizar, is it the Hunters Association stirring things up?" Klui frowned, wondering. According to the plan, the presence of the Hunters Association shouldn’t interfere with them.

The little boy in a white suit, Yizar, pouted, made a few phone calls, and then told Klui, "Lord Klui, it’s not the Hunters Association’s doing. It’s either a third party targeting us or a Ranger has arrived."

After pondering for a moment, Klui said, "Recall all the Human Demon Embryos then. The nurturing is already complete; recalling them now will only lose some potential, at most."
