Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 460 - 458

Chapter 460: 458

After he finished speaking, the huge metal cylinder shot a beam straight into the sky, which penetrated the clouds and gradually transformed into snowflakes that fluttered down.

It was already winter, so this snowfall didn’t seem abrupt, marking the first snow of the year for Hua Shan City.

However, there was something peculiar about the snow.

The snowflakes, shining with white light, seemed intangible as they passed through obstacles and landed on everyone, quietly affecting their brains.

A false memory shared by all the inhabitants of Hua Shan City gradually took shape, silently constructed.

This memory encompassed all the people of Hua Shan City, and they wouldn’t find anything discordant in their memories, thus eliminating any potential threats.

As the snowflakes gradually covered the ground, the metal cylinder also gradually vanished into the air, a wary glint flickering in Wen Wen’s eyes.

Calling out the Rangers to deploy this device meant that the "City-Level Memory Eraser" affected even high-level Rangers.

He suddenly realized that the so-called Memory Eraser was not a product of science at all.

Not even, was it manufactured based on knowledge from the Inner World!

This power to erase and alter memories likely originated from a being or a Containment Item of at least Catastrophe Level!

The so-called City-Level Memory Eraser, along with the small Memory Eraser Wen Wen held, was probably just a medium to channel energy, the actual memory alteration performed by the device itself.

The relationship was similar to that of Wen Wen and the Puppet Rat!

Since Wen Wen had executed such operations multiple times, he was able to spot the signs.

Most other Demon Hunters, however, if not significantly powerful, would likely never detect it.

A typical small Memory Eraser, which can intake far less energy compared to Wen Wen’s rat, thus enabling mass production, affects only ordinary people.

Large mediums, on the other hand, should be somewhat superior to Wen Wen’s rat level and considered special manufacture, affecting all common folks in the range—and even having certain effects on superpower users.

If there are large mediums, the question becomes whether there exist provincial-level or even greater regional-level Memory Erasers?

And can the core power itself distort the will of the entire world?

If possible, is the memory that Wen Wen now possesses real?

Could it be that Wen Wen has already lived through several crises capable of destroying the world, but has simply forgotten them all?

Wen Wen sighed and stopped his boundless contemplation.

Even with the strength of a Disaster Intermediate Sequence, the world remained shrouded in fog to him.

No one knows what fearsome and horrific things lie behind this fog.

...

When all the snowflakes had disappeared, the memory erasure was already complete.

The Hunters Association no longer needed to intervene directly, just needed to guide from the sidelines, allowing this incident to fade into obscurity.

The external world expressed great sympathy for the plight of Hua Shan City, but that was all it was—sympathy.

It was mentioned in the news, some donations were made, and people gradually forgot about it.

Perhaps years from now, aside from the citizens of Hua Shan City, no one will know what the city had endured.

Such tragedies in the Federation actually occur frequently, with people usually only remembering one or two; they never realize that this is a world of many disasters.

They have become accustomed to such news, even thinking they live in a wonderful world.

To Wen Wen and other superpower users, they are undoubtedly naive and ignorant.

But who knows? In the eyes of some beings, are Wen Wen and his ilk not the same as these ordinary people?

Wen Wen didn’t know, nor did he want to delve deeper into this issue.

After the completion of the memory erasure, he left Hua Shan City and headed to Taihe City, where Chu Wei had previously been on a mission. This nearby city was unaffected by Hua Shan City, and Wen Wen decided to take a few days of rest here.

After every major event, Wen Wen always took a few days off to adjust his mentality, sort out his gains, and plan his future development.

Constantly keeping his mind tense would only drive a person insane; a balanced relaxation was the ideal working condition.

After a satisfying sleep, Wen Wen returned to the Sanctuary, the first thing he did was to check his gains, including the monsters and containment items captured in Biyi Town and Hua Shan City, and some acquired materials and supplies.

Now piling up in the warehouse, the unprocessed materials and various junk formed a significant mound, with a prominent heap of golden Sea Urchin Spines.

Wen Wen planned to find time to craft all these Sea Urchin Spines into long spears or throwing spears, using the metal from the golden harpoons for the spear tips.

The rest was the miscellaneous Superpower Material he had peeled off various parasitic monsters; these materials weren’t of high quality, but consisted of a jumbled mess of everything.

Wen Wen could craft all these items into Rune Weapons if necessary, but then he wouldn’t need to do anything else. With such low-value materials, Wen Wen’s cell was nearly full.

Selling them to the Hunters Association, however, could earn a considerable amount of Demon Hunting Coins, but Wen Wen always felt this was a loss.

After some thought, Wen Wen knew how to handle these materials.

He took all the materials to the second-floor Central Administrator, a refined woman, a congregation of green light points dressed in a formal gown.

She bore a more noble aura than any other woman Wen Wen had ever seen, appearing at first glance like a goddess far removed from the mortal world.

But when Wen Wen appeared, her demeanor completely collapsed. She floated excitedly toward Wen Wen and complained in a tingling voice, "You finally remembered to come see me, you heartless man."

"Do we have any sort of relationship, big sister..." Wen Wen said, somewhat exasperated.

Wen Wen mostly interacted with the Metallic Suit Man among the three Central Administrators because he was the most normal of them.

The third-floor Water Tadpole was a quiet type; Wen Wen could ask it loads of questions, and it might only pop out a word or two, often just ’Don’t know’...

The second-floor Central Administrator, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of the third floor’s—initially appearing like a noble and aloof goddess, only to show her true colors two days later.

Playing coy with Wen Wen intermittently, her attitude was truly horrendous. The problem was she had no physical body, preventing Wen Wen from even harboring bold thoughts, which is why he always avoided her.

But now, Wen Wen needed her help for his next task.
