Chapter 627: Chapter 616: I Caught You

Wen Wen took a deep breath and snapped his fingers. A huge stone ring appeared in front of him.

This was a Disaster-Level Containment Item that Wen Wen had obtained in Spectrum Town. The Angel of Universal Light had once used it to twist the villagers’ thoughts, turning them into the ’Holy’ subjects that the angels favored most.

As long as the Stone Ring was worn on the person’s back, it would spread the wearer’s essence, influencing all living beings within the town and causing them to become similar to the essence of the wearer.

If Wen Wen wore the Stone Ring, the ordinary people of Tian Family Town would all become dangerous perverts like him. If Tao Qingqing wore the Stone Ring, the people in the town would all become lunatics who thirsted for blood like their life depended on it.

Whether it was Wen Wen or Tao Qingqing using it, the result wouldn’t be much better than the current situation. Hence, Wen Wen called over a tiger-like Puppet, intending to make the ordinary people of the town transform in the direction of the Puppet.

"Lie down on this."

After the tiger-like Puppet lay on the Stone Ring, Wen Wen activated it. The moment he activated the Stone Ring, he felt a strange strength being released from it.

Under the influence of this power, Wen Wen’s thoughts became somewhat sluggish, and Tao Qingqing’s expression also turned slightly wooden. However, with their levels of strength, they were not completely affected by the Stone Ring.

But those ordinary people driven by hatred to fight each other weren’t so lucky.

All kinds of emotions, thoughts, and feelings in their minds were rapidly disappearing. With these hatreds naturally unspoken of, they were like puppets.

Since their bodies were normal human bodies, unable to receive commands like a puppet, they behaved like people with their eyes open in a vegetative state.

Glory Church had a method to slowly control the Stone Ring’s power, so the strength of the Stone Ring wouldn’t cause too much harm to ordinary people. But if not restricted in that manner, the power of the Stone Ring would be very fierce, profoundly affecting ordinary people almost instantly.

After the incident, Wen Wen would stop the influence of the Stone Ring and with the treatment provided by the Association, they should be able to recover to a state where they could live normally, although they might still be somewhat dull, at least they wouldn’t perish in a frenzy of revenge.

After seeing the last ordinary person fall to the ground, Wen Wen put away the Stone Ring, rubbing his head and saying, "Why does it feel like I’ve created a field of dead bodies? But this way is better, at least they won’t come to disturb me anymore."

Wen Wen instructed those tiger-like Puppets to gather these thousands of townspeople, who were like vegetative state individuals, as densely as possible and then jumped onto a rooftop and sat down with his eyes closed.

Now all the townspeople would neither kill each other nor be frightened by the roaming corpses. If the Hateful Demon Monster wanted revenge, it would have to come to deal with these people personally, and Wen Wen would take this opportunity to try and capture that creature.

Wen Wen believed this moment wouldn’t last long because driven by hatred, that creature wouldn’t have much patience.

In the Illusionary Town, he couldn’t properly perceive Qi, so Wen Wen spread his Sword Qi, forming a huge circle. As soon as the Hateful Demon Monster entered this circle, he would be able to detect where it appeared from.

Nevertheless, since this Sword Qi domain differed from Qi sensing, covering these gathered thousands was a struggle, and Wen Wen could only wait for the Hateful Demon Monster to start acting.

True to Wen Wen’s prediction, the Hateful Demon Monster couldn’t endure for long—it attacked the townspeople within less than ten minutes, but the attack didn’t come from the Hateful Demon Monster itself. Instead, it was a huge stone block with a diameter of seven or eight meters!

With such a large stone block, even if Wen Wen broke it, the falling pieces would still be enough to kill, and since people were piled on top of each other nearby, there was no worry of missing anyone.

Wen Wen huffed coldly, instantly leaping in front of the stone’s path and embraced the massive rock, then snapped his fingers to teleport it elsewhere, just as the second stone was strikingly aimed.

"You block the stone, I’ll catch him!"

Wen Wen dashed in the direction from which the stone had been thrown, while blood-colored energy surged over Tao Qingqing’s body as she confronted the incoming rock, barely managing to block it, leaving her significantly weakened.

After all, the stone was thrown by a Hateful Demon Monster with Disaster Upper Order strength, its force far surpassing that of a typical shell, unlike Wen Wen, she couldn’t catch it easily.

Nevertheless, she desperately tried to block the stones because it was not only Wen Wen’s command but also her means of self-redemption.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Wen reached the spot from where the stone was thrown, but the Hateful Demon Monster repeated the trick by drilling into the ground and fleeing, and Wen Wen couldn’t find it even after overturning the nearby area.

In this place where one cannot sense Qi, tracking a person and hiding are not on the same level.

"No good, if this continues, it will never end, and I might not outlast that guy, need to find a way..." Wen Wen suddenly had an epiphany, "Surveillance Point! I can try setting up a surveillance point here!" A flash of insight struck his mind.

He hadn’t thought of this because the area was essentially an Illusionary Realm, not a real town, but if he didn’t want to be stuck, Wen Wen had no choice but to use the Sanctuary’s power to attempt to find the Hateful Demon Monster, treating a dead horse as a living one.

He returned to the rooftop he had been monitoring from earlier, where black chains spread out and condensed into a small signal tower on the roof.

"Good, the surveillance point can be successfully established, so it should be possible to catch him."

Utilizing the Sanctuary, Wen Wen contacted the Water Tadpole, also known as the Living Water Spirit, on the third floor, asking for help in locating the Hateful Demon Monster through the surveillance point.

Just after issuing the instructions, Wen Wen found a small Crystal Card in his hand, and after activating the alert card, the entire town’s holographic projection appeared.

Aside from Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing, there were two red dots in the town, one of which had a red hue mixed with dark purple, likely the location of the Hateful Demon Monster, and the other red dot was surrounded by a circle of white light, presumably the ’it’ the Hateful Demon Monster had mentioned before.

With the surveillance point providing the location, Wen Wen told Tao Qingqing to keep an eye on those who had fallen, and he dashed towards the direction of the Hateful Demon Monster.

Sensing Wen Wen’s move, the Hateful Demon Monster’s heart skipped a beat, "Is he charging directly at me by coincidence, or does he really know where I am?"

Soon, whether Wen Wen truly knew no longer mattered to the Hateful Demon Monster, for Wen Wen, wielding a rocket launcher, unleashed a Cloud Bomb toward his location.

The Cloud Bomb exploded loudly, the vast range of damage preventing the Hateful Demon Monster from fleeing cover in time, and it could only watch as the smoke rushed out.

Just as it emerged from the smoke, a fist landed directly on its cheek, knocking it down.

Wen Wen stood in front of it and said, "I’ve caught you."
