Chapter 391: Chapter 389 Mystery Museum

The door of the museum was pushed open, and a figure cloaked in a black robe entered with a strange gait.

"Hello, the museum is currently closed. Please come back tomorrow if you wish to visit," Qiao Kun said, glancing at the visitor and sensing something extraordinary about him, yet he expressed his unwelcome feeling straightforwardly.

The rules of the museum were simple. During the day, anyone could visit and if they were fated, they could take an artifact with them.

In the future, when the fated person no longer needed that artifact, it would return to the museum on its own.

At night, the museum welcomed certain people, some of whom came to entrust the museum with something of sufficient value, while others came to exchange for specific items in the museum.

This museum had accumulated many powerful artifacts by adhering to these rules for hundreds of years.

However, those qualified to come at night were all big shots who caught the attention of the museum. Someone who suddenly appeared like this shadow was not within the welcoming range of the museum.

"I just want to ask a few questions," Wen Wen said in a hoarse voice, controlling a puppet.

Qiao Kun replied coldly, "I have already said that the museum is closed. I regret that we cannot accommodate you."

Wen Rui, behind the Demon Puppet, furrowed his brow and then said in a somewhat threatening and sinister tone, "You answer me, and we will have no problems. If you insist on not answering, then I will have to force it out of you."

Wen Wen did not sense a strong supernatural power from Qiao Kun and did not detect any nearby strong supernatural aura, which is why he dared to make the threat.

Even if the threat failed, he could simply abandon the puppet and flee.

Qiao Kun’s face darkened as if the threat had angered him, and he angrily said, "What do you think this place is?"

The Demon Puppet raised a finger and said hoarsely, "First question... what is this place?"

Qiao Kun was stunned for a moment, and the anger on his face vanished, realizing there was no need to take this person seriously since he didn’t even know where he was.

So, Qiao Kun persuaded Wen Wen, "I am a scholar and do not wish to engage in violence, so if you leave now, I can forgive your disrespect!"

"Your aura barely matches that of someone in the Exploration Realm. What right do you have to forgive me?" the puppet continued arrogantly.

In reality, it was Wen Wen who was at fault for storming into someone’s place in the middle of the night and making threats. However, in his quest for clues about Wen Rui, he couldn’t care less and was willing to use force if necessary to extract useful information.

Moreover, as a Ranger, Wen Wen’s ignorance of this museum’s existence implied that it was off the books, and those without official status naturally had no rights.

"You say I’m no match for someone in the Exploration Realm?" Qiao Kun’s face completely fell apart, and he became extremely distorted.

The Demon Puppet took a step back, Wen Wen tried sensing again through the Demon Puppet, but still could not detect any supernatural power in Qiao Kun, so he nodded.

"You foolish superpower users who only enhance yourselves through talent, what right do you have to compare with us!"

"We are..."

Qiao Kun stopped mid-sentence, as there were some things he was not authorized to disclose to outsiders.

Disappointed, Wen Wen shook his head. Why had he stopped talking just when it seemed he was about to reveal something potentially informative? However, when Qiao Kun had gotten angry earlier, Wen Wen had felt an indescribable pressure, suggesting this man might not be as easily handled as he seemed.

"Superpower users are just fools who rely on their Talent to improve themselves, they don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with them..."

"From this information, it appears they are at least an organization, and this organization does not rely on the Talent of superpower users to enhance themselves, but something else, so could Wen Rui be a member of this organization?"

"The words just now seemed to touch his nerve, but under that circumstance, he just scolded me, could it be that he can’t easily take action?"

Through the brief words of Qiao Kun, Wen Wen had gathered some useful information, so he decided to continue questioning.

"If not relying on Talent, then how do you match up to superpower users?"

Upon hearing Wen Wen’s words, Qiao Kun’s expression turned unsettled, knowing he had still revealed some information, which if spread, could potentially affect his reputation within the organization in the future.

After a brief silence, Qiao Kun said to Wen Wen, "How about I answer another one of your questions instead."

"This place is called the Mystery Museum, apart from being a warehouse for the Hunters Association, it is the genuine top-ranked Museum of Curiosities in the entire Federation, with each item’s value no less than that of a Disaster Level Containment Item!"

"Even this museum itself is a Catastrophe Level Containment Item!"

"Countless Big Shots have wished to visit here once but couldn’t, now you have the privilege to be here, you should feel fortunate."

One of the rules of the museum is that one cannot attack visitors without reason, so to get rid of Wen Wen, he must first make Wen Wen violate the museum’s rules, and greed is the best leverage.

"Each item’s value is above Disaster Level..."

Even Wen Wen, upon seeing the dazzling array of items, couldn’t help but breathe a bit faster, but he quickly calmed down; if the items here were so easy to take, how could there only be Qiao Kun guarding them?

But if other items are real, then that giraffe Amber must be fake.

Putting aside his greed, Wen Wen asked Qiao Kun the question he was most concerned about: "Next question, do you recognize a person named Wen Rui?"

"Wen Rui... Wen Rui!"

Qiao Kun widened his eyes and sized up Wen Wen, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Something stirred in Wen Wen’s heart, Wen Rui indeed had ties to this place, and Qiao Kun knew Wen Rui’s whereabouts!

"Tell me everything you know, please."

Qiao Kun circled around Wen Wen, his eyes full of scrutiny. In their organization, Wen Rui was his absolute superior. If Wen Wen had ties with Wen Rui, he dared not do anything to him.

"I am under no obligation to answer any of your questions, and now I am closing the museum. If you don’t leave, you are violating the museum’s rules, and I will have to be rude to you."

Neither daring to deal with Wen Wen nor liking him, Qiao Kun could only choose to drive Wen Wen away.

"Tell me everything you know... otherwise... I will smash this pottery vase!"

Wen Wen stood in front of a platform, threatening Qiao Kun. He felt that directly attacking Qiao Kun might be dangerous, so he decided to use the museum’s artifacts to threaten him.
