Chapter 878: Chapter 878 Slumber Mist

After leaving Tomb Guardian Wang Dayi, Wen Wen made a phone call using his identity as a Demon Hunter.

This call was made to the Hunter Association, informing them about the situation at the Yin Emperor’s Tomb in Lingyuan County.

While Wen Wen was causing trouble in the Dim Domain, the Faceless Demon was constantly active in another place, using Wen Wen’s identity.

A few hours before Wen Wen met the ’Creator of Humanity,’ the Faceless Demon had just set off, arriving in Lingyuan County through official channels.

So no one would associate Wen Wen with that Black Cross True Order Superpowered Individual wearing a grotesque mask in the Dim Domain.

Upon receiving Wen Wen’s information, the Hunter Association immediately took it seriously.

However, due to unresolved matters over at the Qing Ridge Plateau, they could only first send a few Demon Hunters to stabilize the situation in this city. The detailed exploration and investigation would have to wait until the matters over there were settled.

After Wen Wen reported this matter, it was expected that Wang Dayi would no longer be able to be a Demon Hunter; he might even face some punishment, and moreover, the Yin Emperor’s Tomb he had been protecting would no longer be safe.

However, Wen Wen had no obligation to keep the secret of the tomb for him.

Had he not already reached an age where his forehead was buried in dirt, Wen Wen might have even wanted to take him along as cannon fodder.

Because Wang Dayi kept the secret, hiding crucial information, it led the Hunter Association to underestimate the dangers here, causing one person after another to go missing.

Wang Dayi was also responsible for the deaths of those people.

So Wen Wen went to the Muyuan District based on the address given by Wang Dayi, intending to go to the hotel where Tao Qingqing went missing.

The entrance to Muyuan District was wrapped with a few iron chains, and a security guard, sitting at the gate, was dozing off without much vigilance.

Once the iron gate was locked, he couldn’t stop anyone from entering the Muyuan Community without alerting him. Those he couldn’t stop, even if noticed, couldn’t be prevented by him.

So his job as a night security guard was quite relaxed.

Wen Wen did not disturb the guard’s sweet dreams, first jumping onto the fences of the Muyuan Community, stepping on glass shards, and frowned as he surveyed the inside of the wall.

A thin layer of grey-black mist enveloped everything inside the wall, resembling the energy outside the tomb but not exactly the same.

Unsure of the nature of this mist, Wen Wen didn’t rashly enter but snapped his fingers to summon a vampire.

As soon as this pale-faced male vampire appeared, he sat on a ten-centimeter-long piece of sharp glass, making his face even paler.

Just as he was about to cry out, he saw Wen Wen’s man-eating glare and immediately swallowed his scream.

"There might be danger in there. Jump down and see what’s going on."

The vampire twitched his lips, thinking, is this even human speech?

Wen Wen tempted the vampire by saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die, and when you return, I’ll treat you to some extra meals: blood sausage, spicy blood soup, and fresh blood mousse can all be arranged for you."

The vampire licked his lips, used blood energy to shield his body, cautiously jumped down, and then face-planted onto the ground...

Wen Wen prodded him with chains twice, finding the vampire already asleep, with no heartbeat or breath.

By human standards, he was already dead, but his internal energy remained active, so he should just be in a special state.

This scene made Wen Wen feel slightly unnerved, so after putting this vampire away, he summoned another one.

These vampires were all captured by Wen Wen in the Golden Eagle District. At that time, he caught over ten in one go. Their abilities were not strong, and unlike Tao Qingqing, they weren’t attractive, so their lives in the Sanctuary were quite miserable.

The blood supplied to them was just enough for their basic needs, nowhere near the comfort Tao Qingqing experienced in the Sanctuary.

So the previous one, hearing Wen Wen’s offer, immediately jumped down, already starving for a long time.

Due to their awkward status, Wen Wen had no psychological burden using them as cannon fodder. Even if they died here, it would only help the Sanctuary save costs...

Just like the previous one, this vampire, upon hearing Wen Wen’s offer, wanted to jump down. However, this time, an invisible shield now covered his body, a shield from Wen Wen’s Warehouse Manager’s Badge.

Since the Sanctuary’s upgrade, Wen Wen could apply shields to others as well. He intended to test if this shield could protect against the mist using this vampire.

Once the vampire jumped down, the grey-black mist raced to invade his body, but all were blocked by the shield, causing him no significant harm, and the shield bore minimal pressure.

So long as there was the Warehouse Manager’s Badge, the grey mist here wouldn’t cause trouble.

Thus, Wen Wen put away the second lucky vampire and directly jumped into Muyuan District.

Experiencing the mist firsthand through the shield, Wen Wen discerned their nature; the mist seemed to have very strong sleep-inducing effects, likely effective on superpower users and monsters below the Disaster Intermediate Sequence.

Even if someone was at the Upper Sequence, ingesting large amounts of this gas could potentially cause them to gradually fall asleep too.

Although Wen Wen had True Order capabilities, his ability level was still at the Upper Sequence, so entering without protection would be affected by this mist.

In the Muyuan District, no birds chirped, no insects called, no small nocturnal animals crawled, not even a breath!

Residents sleeping in their homes resembled dead bodies, with no slight rise and fall in their chests.

Typically, such a state could already be declared dead.

However, Wen Wen knew that by the next day, they would rise from their beds as if nothing happened, going about their daily lives like zombies.

He wondered if the residents here, falling asleep each night under such mist, could still be considered ’normal’ humans.

There was only one hotel in Muyuan District, so Wen Wen easily found it. An old blind man was sitting at the entrance, dozing off with a cane, though the cane had scratches and his clothes had dust stains, indicating he had recently fallen.

This blind old man was the other Tomb Guardian, Seventh Master Tian, mentioned by Wang Dayi earlier.

Hearing Wen Wen’s footsteps, Seventh Master Tian prepared for a battle.

He had never seen anyone other than himself walking freely in the Slumber Mist during the night!

He suddenly tapped his cane, causing a thumping sound, and his ears twitched rapidly, using the echo to sketch Wen Wen’s appearance.

Although this method revealed an unclear image, at least he knew Wen Wen was a small-eyed man.

Moreover, the mist enveloping the street actively avoided this man before him!

"Who... are you?"
