Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 939: Wagtail Realm

Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Wagtail Realm

Now Wen Wen understands what these demons are doing.

According to Lin Huan and others’ investigations, these demons capture people who have a strong longing for the deceased, but this longing is not twisted.

This type of longing causes the souls to regain a certain level of consciousness in the Gray Mist Layer, turning into wandering spirits, but they do not become ghosts that hold abomination towards the living.

The demons use these people and the longing between them and the wandering spirits to perform a special ritual to build a bond between two worlds, trying to open a door from the Inner World to the real world to allow the Pure White Lord to come to the real world!

Wen Wen’s first reaction is to destroy the ritual, but he quickly realizes that it’s not an easy task.

At the entrance of the Temple lies a double-headed Magic Dragon over ten meters long, and on top of the Magic Dragon sits a child with a cherubic face and white wings, like a little angel.

Judging from its aura, it must be an Upper Sequence Level demon. There’s a powerful connection between the child and the Magic Dragon. Although their power doesn’t reach the True Order level, it will take Wen Wen some time to defeat them.

Simultaneously, the Temple has a powerful repulsive force. Unless Wen Wen uses the Calamity Right Hand’s containment ability, he certainly cannot enter.

Moreover, the more than five hundred people inside the temple aren’t dead yet. If Wen Wen makes a move, they’ll surely die.

If Wen Wen has to choose between using these people’s lives or allowing a Catastrophe Demon to enter the real world, he would definitely choose to let them die to keep the Catastrophe Demon out.

After all, even if a Demon Lord is killed as soon as it appears, the destruction it can cause far exceeds what these six hundred or so lives can compensate for, and the lives lost and injured could be in the tens of thousands!

But even if it’s necessary to sacrifice these people, it would only be when there are no alternatives that he would start killing them.

So, Wen Wen took notes of every detail here and continued to explore elsewhere. As he explored more deeply, fury burned in his eyes.

There is a building specifically for providing entertainment to demons, and this entertainment is ruthlessly cruel to humans. Wen Wen left after just two seconds because he was worried he couldn’t resist and would rush in to eliminate those bastards.

Wen Wen marked the most excessive individuals; next time, they will be killed on sight without a chance to be taken to the Sanctuary.

However, not all demons are interested in torturing humans. They might play board games, engage in e-sports, or even multiplayer sports.

There’s also a demon restaurant where the ingredients are quite disgusting, and most of the demons’ food is rather peculiar.

Lastly, Wen Wen visited a laboratory, where he detected remnants of a True Order Demon’s aura, making him extremely cautious.

The laboratory’s equipment was far superior to the previous underground cave’s, indicating that those mosquitoes and Tentacle Monsters were products of this True Order Demon’s research.

As Wen Wen observed, he became increasingly restless, even wanting to act immediately.

He discovered the next phase of the research facility’s objective in a document: they actually planned to fill the winter gap without mosquitoes!

"Too evil, too evil..."

Wen Wen held back for a long time to suppress the urge to grind everyone there to dust immediately.

"For the bigger picture, I’ll let you live a few more days."

...

While Wen Wen was inside investigating, Tao Qingqing and the Little Wagtail Ghost hid in a corner waiting for Wen Wen to emerge.

Without Wen Wen’s guidance, they dared not wander around since there were so many demons who could tear them apart in an instant. The Little Wagtail Ghost might escape, but Tao Qingqing would not.

After a moment of silence, Tao Qingqing couldn’t help but want to pinch the Little Wagtail Ghost’s cheek but was thwarted by its ruthless deflection.

So Tao Qingqing took out some candy.

The Little Wagtail Ghost glanced at it disdainfully, turning its head away, as a true Wagtail Ghost would never be bribed by such trivialities.

Then Tao Qingqing produced a cream cake, ice cream, chocolate, french fries...

A few minutes later, the Little Wagtail Ghost sat in Tao Qingqing’s arms, continuously stuffing its mouth, while Tao Qingqing kneaded the Wagtail Ghost’s cheeks like dough or occasionally stroked its feathers.

Despite Tao Qingqing constantly pestering her, the Wagtail Ghost maintained an astonishing eating speed.

She had her dignity and should not be tempted by food, so she intended to finish quickly and regain her aloof demeanor.

"Who are you people!"

Both indulged in cuteness and food stopped simultaneously, looking up to see a seductive demon standing at the alley entrance.

This demon had vivid red lips, fair skin, a fiery figure, and wore quite revealing clothes, just slightly more modest than certain peculiar outfits sold online, with a sharp horn on her head and transparent insect wings on her back.

It was the Mosquito Lady who was previously clinging to Brookley!

Upon seeing the Little Wagtail Ghost, the Mosquito Lady couldn’t help but lick her lips: "Oh my, isn’t this the Little Wagtail Ghost? I’ve been looking for you for so long, didn’t expect you’d come out on your own."

Her wings slightly stirred; these wings could fly silently or emit a harsh screech that summons countless demons.

This was demon territory, filled with Rune Arrays, rendering even the Little Wagtail Ghost almost doomed!

Unexpectedly for the Mosquito Lady, her wings did vibrate, but no demons responded.

On a second look, she realized they were no longer in the car manufacturing plant.

Tao Qingqing, amazed by her surroundings, noticed in a blink that the three of them appeared in a lush, fantastical forest.

The Mosquito Lady, floating mid-air, snorted, "So this is the legendary Wagtail Realm, but it can only delay you for fifteen minutes at most; after that, you won’t escape."

The Wagtail Realm is an independent space, a boundless, thriving forest shared by all Wagtail Ghosts.

They can use this forest for alternative spatial jumps, combined with Wagtail Ghosts’ innate perception ability to detect danger, making their escape skills unrivaled in the world.

Thus, she could repeatedly escape from Wen Wen.

But if a Wagtail Ghost brings another being into the Wagtail Realm, it can last at most fifteen minutes and can’t open jumps elsewhere.

The Little Wagtail Ghost looked at Tao Qingqing and said, "You need to deal with her within fifteen minutes, otherwise she’ll call for reinforcements upon leaving, and we’ll be doomed."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in the ear.

Tao Qingqing pointed at the Mosquito Lady, looking at the Wagtail Ghost, "Defeat her in fifteen minutes, easy peasy, but... after it’s over, if I purchase a few outfits for you, could you wear them for me?"
