Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Mystery Little Dragon Knight

The visit had ended, but that didn’t mean Wen Wen was no longer suspicious of the museum; he intended to conduct a thorough investigation of it.

However, deep down, he actually didn’t hold much hope for the museum.

·

Not just because of the museum’s absurd features, but also because there was no supernatural aura on any of the items within.

Furthermore, structurally speaking, the museum didn’t seem to have any hidden compartments, and all the museum staff he encountered, including Qiao Kun, were just ordinary people.

After Wen Wen’s meticulous inspection without finding any problem, it essentially meant that no problem existed.

If there really was a problem, then it definitely wasn’t one Wen Wen could solve.

But the lack of problems with the museum itself couldn’t prove that Wen Rui had never encountered anything there, unfortunately, after more than twenty years, much of the evidence had likely vanished.

Wen Wen had managed, based on traces of Wen Rui’s presence, to find a few people he might have known, but most here only knew there was a person named Wen Rui, unable to recall anything specific that was abnormal about him.

Even without a Memory Eraser, humans gradually forget those things that aren’t very important; very few people can remember someone who had a low profile over twenty years ago.

Out of Wen Rui’s disappearance of six months, only his time spent at the museum was recorded; the rest was a blank, and Wen Wen’s clues ended there.

After much struggle, Wen Wen said resignedly, "If it can’t be found, let’s just drop it for now. I certainly don’t want my life to become a farce about searching for my biological father."

"However, even if I can’t find him, I can’t just come here for nothing. Let’s see if there are any tasks nearby that suit me, as this matter has left me quite idle recently."

Wen Wen browsed through the Ranger Terminal for a bit and found an interesting task, which was posted in Qingchuan City and had not yet been taken by any Ranger.

Two months ago, a mysterious ’Vigilante’ appeared in Qingchuan City, self-claiming to be the ’Little Dragon Knight’!

This Vigilante was a mysterious superpower user who would occasionally help the Hunter Association hunt monsters, or assist in evacuating the public after abnormal events occurred.

If that were all, this Little Dragon Knight would actually be quite liked by the local Hunters Association, and there wouldn’t be reports calling for his capture.

But the Little Dragon Knight was too flamboyant; every appearance was quite showy—clad in a red, scale-patterned bodysuit, with a large blue cape trailing behind, blue boxer shorts worn over the outfit...

Most outrageous of all, he even had his own theme music...

This meant that whenever he appeared, the workload of the local Hunters Association’s cleanup operations would multiply.

The Hunters Association could’ve tolerated this, but going out to help ordinary people in this get-up was too much.

He caught people jumping from buildings, rushed into burning structures, and if an old lady was about to get hit by a car, he’d stop the car and rescue her...

Bullies, gangsters, corrupt businesses... he interfered in all sorts of messy affairs, behaving like a superhero from a TV drama.

Such actions won him the unanimous adoration of Qingchuan City’s populace, but the Hunters Association and the local government were quite annoyed with him.

While the Little Dragon Knight was indeed doing good deeds, and his actions might even be termed heroic, the Association might have supported him had he operated in secret.

But his high-profile ways meant numerous ordinary people were aware of his existence, and to cover up the superpower he had displayed, Qingchuan City had to borrow a cleanup squad from a nearby city, specifically to deal with the troubles left by this Little Dragon Knight.

He disrupted the good order maintained by the Hunter Association and Federal Government. There were even imitators in the city, and the crime rate was subtly increasing; criminals were becoming more troublesome because of his presence.

The Qingchuan City Hunters Association wanted to negotiate with him, but this Little Dragon Knight simply didn’t wish to communicate, continuing to do as he pleased.

Therefore, the Demon Hunter squad of Qingchuan City launched an operation to encircle and suppress the Little Dragon Knight.

What was the outcome of the operation? The data did not show, but given that they were seeking the help of a Ranger, they must have failed.

The task was to capture this mysterious ’Little Dragon Knight,’ force him to join the Hunter Association, or teach him not to attract so much attention.

"Interesting, really interesting. This Little Dragon Knight is an intriguing person. If he isn’t from some other secret organization, I might consider inviting him to join the Sanctuary," Wen Wen said.

Wen Wen accepted the task without hesitation; his principle for taking tasks was always prioritizing fun, and now that he was in a bad mood, he decided to use this so-called Little Dragon Knight as a diversion.

The specific information about the Little Dragon Knight wasn’t included in the task requirements, so Wen Wen needed to go to the Association branch in Qingchuan City to ask for it from the leader of the Demon Hunter squad.

Just right, as Wen Wen had been traveling constantly, he could use this opportunity for a good rest.

Every region’s Hunters Association had its own disguise to prevent recognition by ordinary people or accidental entry.

But Qingchuan City was different; the local branch was the biggest and most luxurious hotpot restaurant in town, known as ’Lake Search,’ famous for its exquisite service and delicious food.

The revenue from the hotpot restaurant was substantial; not only did they not need funding from the main Association, but they even contributed a large sum of money to it every year.

Most importantly, every Demon Hunter visiting Qingchuan City could enjoy free hotpot here!

Wen Wen licked his lips; he planned to dine grandly here, using free hotpot as compensation for helping them with their big problem, it should be no trouble to feast on hotpot for every meal during his stay in Qingchuan City!

Three Cubs both resisted and anticipated eating there.

The anticipation came from remembering the delicious hotpot meal shared with Wen Wen, while the resistance stemmed from recalling the discomfort he suffered for days after eating it.

Of course, the first order of business couldn’t be feasting and drinking; he should first register with the local Hunters Association.

Following the Ranger Terminal, Wen Wen arrived at the backyard of the ’Lake Search’ hotpot restaurant, which served as the local Hunters Association’s headquarters.

Under the guidance of a long-haired female Supporter, Wen Wen successfully met the local Demon Hunter squad leader, a man with no distinctive features, an Assimilation Lower Sequence power level, and a bruise on his face.

"An Assimilation Lower Sequence squad leader, leading a few Demon Hunters, and still let that ’Little Dragon Knight’ get away. It seems he must be at least Assimilation Lower Sequence, or Middle Sequence in terms of strength..."

Having obtained the information, Wen Wen was ready to indulge in free hotpot when he spotted a familiar face.
