Chapter 711: Chapter 701: Blue Strange Cicada

Menxia Province, Caiyun Port City, the moon shined and the stars were scarce.

A passenger plane landed at the airport, and Wen Wen stepped out of the plane with a displeased face, while Tao Qingqing followed behind with a smile on her face.

They had previously stayed in Nim City for another three days, where, apart from the area around the Dark Kitchen, the place was so clean it was infuriating; they couldn’t even find a single resentful spirit.

So Wen Wen, having nothing better to do, decided to go looking for trouble with the local biggest mobsters.

Just for fun, Wen Wen didn’t do any detailed investigation; he had Tao Qingqing disguise herself as an especially easy target, an innocent girl, while he posed as a young man who carried a large sum of money but was very timid.

The two infiltrated the mob, then intentionally let their cover be blown in a bizarre twist of events to see how these people would react.

Yup, that’s right, this was a sting operation.

If the mobsters were just the standard vile, they’d get a good beating and be taught a lesson to behave properly.

If they were extremely vile, then the Sanctuary’s prison guards could add a few more to their collection, and it just so happened that a group of vampires had been captured previously, needing fresh human blood for sustenance. Draining a few hundred milliliters wouldn’t kill a person...

However, what Wen Wen hadn’t anticipated was that the mobsters had no interest in Tao Qingqing or the cash but were instead very interested in Wen Wen...

Indeed, this group was Nim City’s largest source of dark power, but they were also a bunch of perverts.

Their original purpose in forming a mob was to do unspeakable things to innocent men, and the victims would often be too ashamed to speak out, so there were no related rumors on the surface.

Speaking of which, in the former environment of Nim City, the ecological niche that normally belonged to mobs was occupied by various monsters; this mob’s existence was solely due to their bizarre nature.

And Wen Wen, apart from his slightly elongated eyes, was essentially a handsome guy...

The moment they were exposed, those dozens of mobsters mentally contaminated Wen Wen for a full three minutes, leaving a deep impression on his pure heart.

After being stunned for three minutes, Wen Wen finally snapped out of it and summoned a group of tiger-like Puppets, severely punishing those people.

First, he coerced them into torturing each other, then castrated a number of the worst offenders and sent them all to the police station.

The methods were brutal, but Wen Wen didn’t feel avenged at all, because Tao Qingqing had been laughing at him for three whole days.

Hmm... Although Tao Qingqing didn’t dare to openly mock him, Wen Wen just felt that she would secretly laugh as soon as she was out of his sight.

At first, Wen Wen thought he was being paranoid, but last night he discovered that Tao Qingqing, sleeping in the next room, actually woke up laughing!

Woke up laughing!

As for how Wen Wen found out, we don’t need to go into that...

Suddenly, Wen Wen saw a young man wearing a duckbill cap run over and say to Wen Wen in a low voice,

"You’re Mister ’Mystic Detective,’ aren’t you? I’m a Demon Hunter from Caiyun Port City. The higher-ups said that we could ask you for help."

"Help?" Wen Wen’s eyebrows rose.

"Yes, we’ve encountered some trouble, but here in Caiyun Port City, we don’t have..."

...

In the pitch-black alley, a pale blue flying insect zipped through with great speed.

The insect looked like a cicada the size of a basketball, with a slightly transparent body that presented a beautiful blue color. When it flew, it left behind a blue halo.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it could turn very agilely. Moreover, it could instantly dematerialize its body upon encountering obstacles.

Tao Qingqing split into several figures, chasing the strange insect with a trace of blood-light.

Among the lower rank monsters, her strength was top-notch, and her speed was slightly faster than that of the insect. However, she missed her chances several times because every time she was about to catch it, the insect’s speed would suddenly increase by a large margin.

Wen Wen stood on the top of a Creation Church, watching Tao Qingqing and the insect with a gloomy expression.

This strange insect was the target that Caiyun Port City had requested help for, and the church beneath his feet was just an ordinary Creation Church, unguarded by people from the Glory Church.

In the evening, when a believer wanted to enter the church to offer confessions, they found a huge human Cross laid out in the center of the church.

The priests and servants in the church, along with the hearts of those who had prayed here during the day, were all part of it. Their flesh had been bitten open by the strange cicada. They appeared to be alive, but only reflexive neural reactions remained, occasionally twitching, instilling fear in those who saw it.

The large Cross that originally stood in front of the church was placed on the human Cross, and a blue cicada sat on the Cross as if it had made the Cross its nest, and it seemed to be sucking something from within the Cross.

The local Hunters Association immediately launched a roundup of this strange insect, but after one death and two injuries, they realized it wasn’t something they could handle.

If it weren’t for the fact that the insect seemed unwilling to stray too far from that Cross, they all might have died at the hands of this cicada.

After Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing arrived, the strange cicada seemed to know that both of them were not simple, so it didn’t attempt a head-on confrontation.

But it didn’t leave either. Instead, it chose to fly chaotically around the church, as if unwilling to leave the place.

Aside from its speed, this cicada likely wasn’t too strong, but Wen Wen instinctively felt there was something unusual about it, so he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he let Tao Qingqing chase after it while he observed from a higher vantage point.

"Why did it attack this church, and what here is it unwilling to abandon..."

While he was musing, a new development emerged in the pursuit below. The strange insect suddenly gave up fleeing and was caught by Tao Qingqing. Her blood-colored nails penetrated the carapace of the insect, injecting it with Blood Poison.

But the insect seemed unaffected by the Blood Poison. On the contrary, Tao Qingqing became somewhat sluggish. Starting from her palm, she turned into a pale blue, glass-like crystal that continued to spread upwards.

However, Tao Qingqing herself seemed unaware as she turned around to report her success to Wen Wen, signaling she had carried out his orders.

Wen Wen’s expression changed, and without further observation, he snapped his fingers rapidly, appearing instantly by Tao Qingqing’s side.

He had long since left a space mark on Tao Qingqing, allowing him to teleport next to her whenever she was within his sensory range.

Then, the Blood River Sword, with a faint red halo, swiftly severed Tao Qingqing’s arm, preventing the spread from reaching her entire body.

Wen Wen’s other hand aimed at the blue strange cicada, and a pure black Energy Cannon blast hit the insect.

The black Energy Cannon, stemming from Dark Matter, was one of Wen Wen’s innate abilities. Although it was only of Middle Sequence, it was flexibly utilized without a hint of stiffness and required no preparation.

After the black energy dissipated, the cicada fell to the ground. After a few twitches of its legs, it stopped moving, and its aura of strangeness gradually faded.

"Dead so easily?"

Wen Wen raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous that it could be that simple.
