Chapter 392: Chapter 390 Conflict Erupts

Seeing Wen Wen threaten him with an artifact, a hint of pleasure flashed through Qiao Kun’s eyes imperceptibly.

In fact, he was essentially a tool person for this museum, and he usually just dealt with some miscellaneous matters of the museum, many of which he was not qualified to decide on his own.

Just like earlier, even though he was furious, he couldn’t lay a hand on Wen Wen.

But if Wen Wen actively violated the rules of the museum, it would be different. The museum would then need someone to subdue Wen Wen, and at that time, he could rightfully and legitimately punish Wen Wen!

Qiao Kun’s face became anxious, "Let’s talk this out, don’t touch the artifacts here!"

"Then tell me all that you know, anything related to Wen Rui!"

"I can’t tell you," Qiao Kun pretended to hesitate.

Wen Wen’s brow lifted; Qiao Kun said to discuss things amicably but refused to give the information desired, which clearly meant he wanted Wen Wen to break the vase.

He wanted Wen Wen to do so, but Wen Wen stubbornly did not comply and instead distanced himself from that vase even further.

Seeing Wen Wen move away from the vase, Qiao Kun’s complexion soured, for now, it was clear that Wen Wen was trying to lure him into a trap, and he couldn’t force Wen Wen out, which was utterly disgusting to him.

Wen Wen felt helpless about this, knowing that Qiao Kun dared not lay hands on him due to certain restrictions, so Wen Wen couldn’t actively break the rules either. He could only continue to stall with Qiao Kun.

Half an hour passed with the two staring each other down when suddenly, Qiao Kun’s eyes showed surprise.

"I just realized, you give off a strange feeling, you’re neither human nor a monster... you are a Puppet!"

Then he began to dance around with excitement, "Since it’s a Puppet, it doesn’t count as a guest of the museum, so I have no need to treat you the way I would a guest!"

Wen Wen frowned, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

Qiao Kun pointed his finger at the Demon Puppet, muttering inscrutable phrases, "Ah ray bah hah kroos..."

This language was unlike any Wen Wen had ever heard, its pronunciation even exceeding the limits of human capability, sounding distinct even from Exotic Texts.

His words contained a magical power, forming invisible restraints around Wen Wen, immobilizing the Demon Puppet.

In the museum, Wen Wen’s complexion turned somewhat ghastly; although the Demon Puppet was not very powerful, it still possessed Disaster Level strength, yet this man, devoid of any hint of Supernatural Power, had subdued the Demon Puppet with just a word!

Qiao Kun looked on with satisfaction as the Demon Puppet’s body contorted, kneeling on the ground, and his heart swelled with a sense of accomplishment.

So what if he was just an apprentice right now, wasn’t the Supernatural Puppet with a clearly massive Strength being dealt with at the flick of his wrist?

He then sighed, a pity that it wasn’t by his own strength that he solved this, the spell he had just uttered had merely invoked the power endowed by the museum itself.

Merely restraining the Puppet was not enough to vent Qiao Kun’s frustration; he silently placed two small containment items behind the Demon Puppet. Bound by the restraints, Wen Wen did not notice.

Then Qiao Kun took the initiative to weaken the restraint. Wen Wen sensed the weakening of the bonds and started struggling hard with the Puppet, easily breaking free from what seemed earlier like unbreakable restraints.

However, trouble still occurred. In the process of breaking free, the Puppet exerted too much strength and accidentally sent two of the collection items flying behind it!

After those two items were sent flying, Wen Wen felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon the Demon Puppet, binding it once again with even more unbreakable restraints!

A sinister smile couldn’t help but spread across Qiao Kun’s face, "I was merely going to expel you for letting the Puppet enter, but now that you’ve attacked the museum’s collections, this is a provocation against the Mystery Museum. I will mete out punishment on behalf of the Mystery Museum."

Ever since Qiao Kun discovered that it was a Puppet sent in, the situation took a sharp downturn. Even with Wen Wen’s abilities, he couldn’t figure out a way to turn the tables for the time being.

From Qiao Kun’s words, it was clear he intended to eradicate Wen Wen thoroughly. If Wen Wen hadn’t known anything and came in person, he might now be kneeling on the ground, after all, the intensity of the restraints he felt from the Puppet had already surpassed the Disaster Intermediate Sequence!

The offense of defying the Mystery Museum is grievous. "Let me see where your true body really is!" Qiao Kun walked up to the Puppet with pride, pressed his finger against the top of the Puppet’s head, and began to probe.

Now Qiao Kun was filled with a murderous intent towards Wen Wen, and seeing an opportunity, he was determined to eradicate the roots.

This murderous intent did not arise from nowhere. Qiao Kun’s biggest fear was his lack of awakened superpower, coupled with Wen Wen drawing out information from him earlier, and Wen Wen’s initial arrogance upon entry.

All these factors combined to fuel Qiao Kun’s intent to kill.

Previously, when it was mentioned that Wen Wen might be related to Wen Rui, his intent to kill paused momentarily. But now, since this is only a Puppet, even if he kills the person behind it through the Puppet, he could explain it as the Puppet violating the museum’s rules and suffering the museum’s backlash, which has nothing to do with Qiao Kun.

In fact, he had been eager to test the extent of the strength he could wield within the museum. After becoming an administrator of the museum, he was endowed with formidable powers.

Yet, he had always been tasked with menial cleaning duties, work more tedious than a restaurant server’s. Now was a perfect opportunity to see what kind of strength he could unleash.

After all, unless he truly became a ’Professor’ like his father, this might be the peak of his life’s strength.

"He said he wants to find my true body, but to trace back to the true body from the Puppet requires the capability of a Catastrophe-Level Expert..."

"Wait, he mentioned before that the museum itself is a Catastrophe-Level Containment Item, so... could he be using the museum to track me down?"

As soon as Wen Wen considered this possibility, he felt as if a colossal crisis was imminent, with goosebumps rising all over his body. He immediately returned to the Sanctuary and switched into the Calamity Prison Supervisor state.

The moment he reached the Sanctuary, a sinister energy appeared where Wen Wen had previously been standing.

"Can he still track me down inside the Sanctuary?"

Wen Wen collected his Qi and concentrated, using the powerful abilities of the Calamity Prison Supervisor to sense his surroundings. He could detect a mysterious energy following the link between him and the Puppet, tracing its way toward him!

Wen Wen wasn’t sure whether Qiao Kun could penetrate the Sanctuary to find him, but he didn’t dare test it. Hence, he also followed that connection and struck out with full force.

The existence of the Sanctuary could not be exposed over such an incident!
