Chapter 403: Chapter 401 Xiong Ying Awakens

Two days later, Wen Wen stood inside the sanctuary, extending both hands with fingers spread apart, as brilliant arcs of electricity appeared between them.

Then he aimed his hands at Bai Xiaomiao, who was fast asleep hugging a carrot pillow, and in an instant, the smooth-furred rabbit spirit jumped around the cell in shock, like a giant ball of fluff.

Once she realized it was Wen Wen shocking her, she sat on the ground with the posture of a seated duck, looking up at Wen Wen with an aggrieved expression as if she were about to cry.

(ಥ﹏ಥ)

Wen Wen didn’t pay her any mind and dissipated the lightning, sighing to himself, "No good, the strength is too weak."

Bai Xiaomiao wanted to bite Wen Wen, thinking, even this strength is too weak? Does he want to electrocute her to death?

After studying for two days, Wen Wen had constructed several miniature generators within his body with his superpower, allowing himself to generate electricity like an electric eel.

However, given his current level of understanding, at best he could electrocute a few people or give supernatural beings a new hairstyle, which, for Wen Wen, was only slightly better than nothing.

But this was a strength that belonged solely to Wen Wen, and even at this level, it was still a gain.

Moreover, the biggest use of this strength was not its direct application. Wen Wen could attach it to objects or use this electricity to set up a small barrier.

Although it couldn’t compare to the strength of other superpower users with a lightning attribute at the same level, it had a strong versatility. At the very least, Wen Wen could now throw the charger for his Ranger Terminal in a corner to gather dust.

The greatest reward of studying the Book of Thunder wasn’t actually the acquisition of this feeble electric capability, but it broadened Wen Wen’s understanding of the superpower users’ world.

And once he fully decoded the book, its power would surely not be limited to just this.

"The so-called Truth Society, are they the ones who specifically study this kind of knowledge? Then, the great existence behind these words spoken by the man in the metal suit, is it the omniscient and omnipotent god mentioned by Wen Rui?"

After shaking his head, Wen Wen walked out of the sanctuary.

Several days prior, a professional team of Hunters had taken over matters related to the museum, and just yesterday, someone had come to question Wen Wen in a simple interrogation.

The interrogation was mainly about inquiring Wen Wen’s relationship with Black Cross, but Wen Wen had managed to obscure the truth with an alibi and a story he had prepared in advance.

All of this was thanks to the solid alibi Wen Wen had at the time of the incident, but he estimated that his suspicion level in the Association’s records was probably quite high.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Association hadn’t yet designated Black Cross as a harmful organization, the evidence Wen Wen prepared might not have been enough to get him off the hook.

And tomorrow afternoon, there was to be a Containment Officer meeting where Wen Wen planned to take the opportunity to ask if anyone needed help. As long as Black Cross caused trouble in areas completely unrelated to Wen Wen, it could help wash away some of his suspicions.

But before the meeting, there were some things Wen Wen needed to do in Qingchuan City.

...

Late at night, Wen Wen stood beside Xiong Ying’s bed, scratching his chin, feeling the vigorous vitality within Xiong Ying’s heart, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to kidnap him.

If he were never going to wake up, then bringing him into the sanctuary might lead to certain improvements.

If he were to wake up, then suddenly finding himself in the sanctuary upon opening his eyes would be very fitting for Wen Wen to hoodwink him into joining the organization.

"Just stealing him away seems a bit too conspicuous. Should I also steal some medical equipment while I’m at it..."

However, perhaps influenced by Wen Wen’s gaze, his heart suddenly started to beat violently, and a life-filled strength surged into Xiong Ying’s body, quickly restoring his health.

"Tsk, he must be about to wake up. Bringing him into the Sanctuary now might make him never wake up... well, I’ll just persuade him after he wakes up," Wen Wen thought to himself.

Wen Wen didn’t have the certainty to make Xiong Ying join the Sanctuary, so he relied on persuasion because Xiong Ying did not have the urgent needs that would require the Sanctuary’s solutions like other Containment Officers did.

For this young man, perhaps maintaining public order on the streets held more interest than joining the Sanctuary.

Before opening his eyes, Xiong Ying thought he was in a coffin, or even at a crematorium, but he never imagined that when he opened his eyes, he would be greeted by a pair of golden pupils.

"Who are you!" Xiong Ying asked warily.

"Who I am..."

Wen Wen did not continue, but the aura emanating from him became increasingly intense, causing Xiong Ying’s face to change color instantly.

The figure in a black robe before him felt like an insurmountably tall mountain, and Xiong Ying was nothing but an ant beneath it!

Although the sensation of power felt much weaker, there was no doubt that this person was the owner of that huge Black Cross on the museum!

"Now you should know who I am. I want to invite you to become a Containment Officer. The duty of a Containment Officer is to find and control threats to humanity, maintain the balance between the Inner and Outside World, and protect the defenseless common people."

Then, Wen Wen recited his usual persuasive speech to Xiong Ying.

Xiong Ying was a young man with an overpowering sense of justice, so Wen Wen’s persuasion primarily focused on how the Sanctuary helped the vulnerable, portraying each Containment Officer as a great hero.

Seeing such a formidable Big Shot personally persuading him to join, and the organization aligning so closely with his ideals, Xiong Ying, who was still just a high school student, was almost instantly swayed.

However, he did not agree immediately. The matter of the Devil’s Heart and two months of fighting evil made him realize that the world was cruel, and many things were not as simple as they appeared.

Wen Wen turned his head, sensed the aura for a moment, and then said to Xiong Ying, "The Hunters Association will come to see you in a bit, inviting you to join them. You can join them, and it doesn’t conflict with our Sanctuary."

"I’ve seen what you did; you’re a good kid. The Hunters Association is a massive organization and inevitably, it may compromise over certain matters, while the Sanctuary is different, our purpose is very pure."

"I won’t force you to join, but joining the Sanctuary is the best choice for you. When you sign this contract, you will be a Containment Officer, and I will appear again," Wen Wen said.

After finishing, he placed a contract in Xiong Ying’s hands and disappeared into the air.

Just as Wen Wen disappeared, Zhangsun Jing and other Demon Hunters pushed open the door of the hospital room, looking at Xiong Ying joyfully, while Xiong Ying quietly hid the contract behind his back...

Wen Wen felt there was a high probability that Xiong Ying would take the initiative to sign the contract to become a Containment Officer; first, because as Wen Wen said, becoming a Containment Officer was a suitable role for Xiong Ying.

Second, Wen Wen, a Catastrophe Level existence, came to persuade him right after he woke up, which would be more effective than any subsequent persuasion by the Hunters Association.

The advantage of being the first one to approach him was enough to make Xiong Ying take Wen Wen’s invitation very seriously.

The fact that he hid the contract behind him the moment he received it further proved his inclination, but if it hadn’t been for the pressing time, Wen Wen would certainly have preferred to wait until Xiong Ying signed the contract before leaving...

After leaving Xiong Ying, Wen Wen set his sights on Xiao Man, Zhangsun Jing’s girlfriend, a gunwoman who had lost her superpower a long time ago, and also a good choice for a Containment Officer.

Wen Wen murmured ominously to himself, "I wonder if Xiao Man will break up with that guy Zhangsun Jing after she regains her ability, hehehe..."
