Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Sanctuary Upgrade

Jiao Xinlei furrowed her brows, her initial intention was merely to help a friend solve some problems, and to possibly grow closer to a handsome guy she occasionally knew.

Now, the problem was beyond her capability to solve, and the handsome guy had suddenly become less impressive. Then, according to Wen Wen’s words, did she possess any special qualities herself?

"You can sense my qi, right?"

Wen Wen released a strand of faint energy from the tip of his finger, lightly gliding it around, and her eyes followed the movement of that energy.

Jiao Xinlei hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head. Since she was young, she had been able to feel things that others could not see, but she had never told anyone about it.

Because the sensation was very vague, she wasn’t even sure if it really existed or not, until after being frightened by Wen Wen last time, that feeling had become even stronger.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the villa, she was overwhelmed with intense anxiety.

"That ability to sense supernatural phenomena is called inspiration. Generally speaking, people with strong inspiration usually possess the potential to awaken supernatural powers."

"Are you saying that I’m a superpowered individual?" Jiao Xinlei exclaimed excitedly.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don’t let common people know about this. Besides, you’re still far from the standard of a superpower user. Without some kind of stimulus, it’s unlikely that you will awaken your superpower," Wen Wen bluntly said, putting her down.

"Oh," Jiao Xinlei felt somewhat disappointed.

"You have inspiration but not superpower. I’m telling you this so you can understand the world isn’t as simple as you think. There are many things beyond your understanding. So, in this villa, you must listen to me."

"Mmm-hmm... Wait, does that mean you are a superpowered individual?" Jiao Xinlei suddenly looked at Wen Wen in shock.

"Correct," Wen Wen nodded and turned back to continue studying the Rune Dagger.

"Then, what superpower do you have? Can you show me?" Jiao Xinlei curiously eyed Wen Wen; she had never seen superpower in action before.

Wen Wen was somewhat annoyed; this woman’s incessant chatter was preventing him from concentrating on the Rune Dagger.

So, his eyes suddenly turned brown with vertical pupils, sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and his fingers sprouted sharp claws, transforming into an incredibly frightening figure.

He ominously told Jiao Xinlei, "Whenever I use my superpower, I must feed on human flesh and blood. Are you willing to offer yourself to me?"

In sync with Wen Wen’s sinister and horrifying presence, Jiao Xinlei was scared stiff, sitting on the ground, crawling into the corner of the room, too frightened to speak.

That’s why Wen Wen, who is still single while his peers are already capable of handling adulthood, has his reasons. Outside of work, he finds it annoying even when women talk to him more than necessary.

After reverting his changes, Wen Wen gave Jiao Xinlei a glance, hoping she would stay quiet for a while now.

About half an hour of silence later, Jiao Xinlei couldn’t help but ask Wen Wen:

"That dog looked so strange, it must be what’s causing the abnormality in the villa, right? Why not deal with it during the day? Why wait until night?"

Wen Wen shook his head: "Don’t oversimplify things. The situation in this villa is a bit beyond my expectations. That dog indeed is strange, but it might not be what you think..."

"In any case, before those things show themselves, all I need to do is wait..."

The moment Wen Wen finished his sentence, his expression changed abruptly, as he half-knelt on the ground, clutching his right arm and trembling uncontrollably.

His heart began to beat violently and his blood heated up. The muscles in his right arm writhed irregularly, as if snakes were squirming beneath his skin.

Jiao Xinlei panicked, Wen Wen’s condition resembled that of an epileptic seizure. The villa was filled with weirdness, and Wen Wen was her only security. If something were to happen to him, she had no idea how to survive the night in this villa.

However, the unusual change did not last long, and Wen Wen soon stood up, a grotesque smile on his face.

"What happened just now?" Jiao Xinlei tentatively asked.

"Hehe, it’s nothing. I need to go out and take care of something. You stay here and don’t move," he said.

"Right, it’s getting dark soon, remember not to be alone. Stay with that family. As long as you do, you won’t be in any life-threatening danger, you’ll just get a little scared at most."

"Everything will be resolved when I return."

After finishing, Wen Wen picked up his suitcase, ready to push the door open and leave.

"Hey, hey, don’t go."

Jiao Xinlei grabbed Wen Wen’s sleeve, becoming somewhat frantic. If Wen Wen were here, it would be fine, but without him, this place was simply too horrifying.

"True, leaving you here by yourself is dangerous."

After thinking it over, Wen Wen felt it wasn’t right to just leave like this, so he drew a dagger and handed it to Jiao Xinlei.

"This dagger can inflict damage on those things, and with your inspiration, you can have some power to resist."

Jiao Xinlei held the dagger with a dumbfounded look. What use could a single dagger have?

Before she could figure it out, Wen Wen came back, holding a bamboo sword about one meter long in his hand.

"Give me the dagger. I’m afraid you won’t know how to use it and might injure yourself, so use this instead, it should also be able to inflict damage on those things."

Wen Wen snatched the dagger back and then shoved the bamboo sword into Jiao Xinlei’s hands.

Alright, Wen Wen felt sorry for her...

What if Jiao Xinlei damaged the rune dagger he had difficulty creating? A bamboo sword would be enough for her.

Then Wen Wen pushed the door open and left the room.

Jiao Xinlei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt something was wrong: "No way! What will I do if you leave? And I don’t want the bamboo sword. Can you give me the dagger instead?"

She hurriedly chased after him, but Wen Wen’s figure was already nowhere to be seen. Within just the past one or two seconds, Wen Wen had vanished from inside the villa...

...

Standing inside the Sanctuary, Wen Wen wore a satisfied expression, even the stale air here seemed incredibly sweet to him.

He had rushed off because the upgrade of the Sanctuary was complete!

That mechanical-sounding electronic voice became the most wonderful notes, every sentence sent a thrill through him.

Now, the Sanctuary was no longer as dilapidated as before, the dust on the floor had been swept clean, and the bride-dressed Puppet tirelessly continued cleaning.

Her wedding dress was dirty beyond recognition, but Wen Wen had no immediate interest in changing it for her.

Admittedly, playing real-life dress-up was a fun thing, but his mind was elsewhere now.

Xu Hai had awakened from his coma and, upon seeing Wen Wen, trembled and hid in a corner like a battered wife.

Now, every time he saw Wen Wen, he felt a dull pain between his legs.

Hu Youling’s complexion seemed much better now, and in terms of caring for others, even a Puppet that could only move in pre-set patterns was doing a better job than he was.

These past few days, Wen Wen hadn’t visited the Sanctuary much, including the Guile Tree Spirit and Ghostly Qin Shuang, all the monsters were in a good mood.

Until now, when Wen Wen appeared, their mood soured instantly.

But Wen Wen didn’t care about their feelings. Unusually, he did not tease any of the monsters and headed straight for the Central Area; he wanted to check the results after the Sanctuary’s upgrade!
