Chapter 89: Rune Dagger (2nd Update)

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Rune Dagger (2nd Update)

The Beauty Puppet’s movements ended with a blown kiss, and Wen Wen, who watched from the side, began to clap his hands.

"Perfect!"

The completion of the basketball moves was quite high, and it was estimated that no one other than the person themselves could achieve that. Despite being a Puppet, with insufficient autonomous action capabilities, it was still able to move perfectly according to Wen Wen’s thoughts.

"I could play like this all day!"

After trying a variety of other ways to play, such as pulling noodles and twirling sticks, Wen Wen grew bored of the operations and began to set behavior modes for the two female Puppets.

If you wanted to directly control a Puppet, you couldn’t be too far away, and Wen Wen did not want to take these two Puppets out of the Sanctuary.

It was just right that there were no other staff at the Catastrophe Containment Facility at the moment, and Wen Wen planned to use these two Puppets to do some simple work.

He assigned the task of cleaning to the wedding dress puppet. The entire Sanctuary space was huge and dusty everywhere. Wen Wen himself did not feel like cleaning, but he could delegate it to the Puppets.

The task for the sailor suit puppet was to take care of the monsters’ daily needs, which basically meant delivering food to these monsters at meal times.

This freed Wen Wen from the duties of a caretaker so he could enjoy more of the pleasures the Sanctuary had to offer.

Just like a cat slave who doesn’t have to feed the cat, take the cat to the vet, or scoop the cat’s litter, but only has to stroke the cat every day, it was a very comfortable thing.

...

Five days quickly passed, and Wen Wen’s wounds had basically healed, although some scars remained, which was inevitable since the healing abilities of Fox Demon Yao were not as powerful as those of a vampire.

At that moment, he was holding a diamond carving knife and engraving patterns onto a dagger.

With his tremendous strength, he was now capable of carving patterns onto the dagger.

Two days ago, he had successfully engraved the runes from Qin Shuang’s cell onto a bamboo strip, and now he wanted to engrave these runes onto his weapon.

Although Wen Wen was still unclear about the specific effects of the rune, he was certain that once completed, the effect would be much better than that of a blank weapon.

After completing the last stroke, Wen Wen carefully channeled a stream of Fox Demon Yao’s energy into the rune to activate it, then dodged far away.

"No smoke, no explosion... but to be safe, I’ll wait another two minutes before going over," he said.

Two minutes later, Wen Wen carefully picked up the dagger, swung it a few times, and a look of pleasure appeared on his face.

Although no abnormalities had occurred, Wen Wen knew the dagger had changed. He couldn’t pinpoint the specific differences, but it was clearly much more responsive than before.

Compared to it, all other daggers seemed like garbage. He picked up an ordinary dagger and lightly cut his arm, then used the Rune Dagger to make another cut on his arm.

"Hm... the Rune Dagger cuts through my skin more easily, the wound is bigger and takes longer to heal under the same force, and it’s more painful..."

Then, holding his arm, Wen Wen bit his lip and said with a tremble in his voice,

"If I had known it would be like this, I should have grabbed someone I didn’t like from the street to experiment on. It really hurts to do it to myself!"

’What’s the use of this iron rod~’

The phone rang, and Wen Wen picked it up ready to tease, but found that it wasn’t Lin Zheyuan on the other end but the pet store cashier from before, Jiao Xinlei.

"Um... Detective Wen, are you free? I have the day off today. Can we go to my classmate’s place as we previously agreed?"

Wen Wen’s eyes lit up; it was about time for him to actively hunt a monster, and that dog was a good quarry.

"Sure, I’ll be there on time."

After setting a time with Jiao Xinlei, Wen Wen hung up the phone. He was actually very interested in that dog, but with the Sanctuary constantly upgrading, he had no motivation to go out and capture it.

It was like playing a game, when you know a new version update is imminent, the current version loses its allure.

...

Jiao Xinlei stood at the entrance of the pet store, her face slightly flushed.

"Does this count as a date..."

She still remembered the shock Wen Wen had left her with last time, so the thought of seeing him again filled her heart with a bit of nervousness.

In the past few days, she had spoken on the phone just once with her classmate. He had stopped complaining, and his tone was filled with a sense of deadly silence, which made her worry. So, as soon as the holidays began, she invited Wen Wen to join her in checking on him.

Since this person said he liked dealing with weird and peculiar matters, perhaps he could be of some help.

Moreover, an outing with just the two of them could, to some extent, help to foster their relationship...

Squeak...

A black sedan stopped in front of Jiao Xinlei; it was Wen Wen who had arrived.

"The car is quite old, but as long as the driver is a handsome guy, then..."

Jiao Xinlei was fantasizing when Wen Wen opened the car door, looking at her with his slender, dead-fish eyes.

"Get in. You’ll direct."

Her heart’s joy disappeared in an instant; this guy wasn’t as handsome as last time!

He had reverted to the somewhat gloomy and terrifying look he had when they first met. Why was this?

She suddenly regretted it; if it weren’t for a handsome guy, she wouldn’t really want to bring him to her friend’s house.

It was only natural for Jiao Xinlei to feel this way, as Wen Wen was now using the body of a Fox Demon Yao; naturally, he couldn’t use the Charm ability of the Fox Demon Yao, so he didn’t give her the same stunning impression as the last time she saw him.

The favorable impression directly dropped from 90 to 20...

"What are you spacing out for? Get in the car," Wen Wen urged.

In the end, Jiao Xinlei still got into Wen Wen’s car; her friend’s situation needed to be dealt with after all.

The car’s interior was very plain, showing that the owner didn’t bother to decorate it.

For Wen Wen, a car was just a means of transportation, otherwise he wouldn’t have bought a cheap second-hand car.

In fact, she was quite lucky now; if she had ridden in Wen Wen’s car a few days earlier, she might have seen an RPG, hand grenades, chainsaw, ropes, Boy’s Urine spray bottle, and other strange items.

Now Wen Wen kept those items in a black briefcase, so it wasn’t as weird as before.

The only thing with a personal touch in the car was a clay figurine that vaguely resembled a human.

"Detective Wen, did you make that? It’s ugly-cute," said an embarrassed Jiao Xinlei, pointing at the clay figurine.

Wen Wen’s face darkened: "It was given by the shop when I bought something; I didn’t make it."

In fact, that thing was Wen Wen’s recent attempt at Puppetry Technique, but it was so crudely made that he didn’t want to admit it was his handiwork.

"You must be joking. How could something a shop gave be so... er, simplistic?" What she really wanted to say was ’ugly.’

Wen Wen picked up the clay figurine, placed his hand behind it, and with a flick of his fingers, activated the Puppetry Technique. The clay figurine began to shake grotesquely.

It shouted in a synthetic voice: "We are—aliens!"

After the demonstration, Wen Wen put the clay figurine back in its place and said: "See, how could something I made move?"

"Oh."

Jiao Xinlei nodded and then saw Wen Wen sweep away some clay fragments expressionlessly.
