The dark green light arrow gradually dispersed in the wind, but Hu Yanbing’s condition quickly deteriorated.
The poison on the arrow was extremely potent, and within seconds, Hu Yanbing’s complexion became more ’healthy’.
Su Nuo exchanged a glance with his companion and immediately made a decision.
They decided not to continue pursuing but to first save Hu Yanbing’s life.
Lin Huan recited the sanctuary’s mission passionately, and the nearly unconscious Hu Yanbing also forced himself to join the chanting.
Hu Yanbing’s power was related to his momentum; the stronger it was, the stronger his abilities became. Accompanied by the resonant vows, his condition improved slightly.
Then Su Nuo quickly unleashed chains, forming a circle around the three of them. After silently reciting a phrase, the three were transported to the sanctuary by the chains.
In the tombstone area on the first floor of the sanctuary, Wen Wen swung the shovel repeatedly, without using the superpower user’s ability, but with a speed close to a normal person, dug out a pit large enough to accommodate a coffin.
Then he himself placed a simple coffin into the pit; this was the coffin of the deceased Containment Officer.
Afterward, Wen Wen covered the coffin with the soil, tamped it down firmly, placed the shovel aside, and set a stone tablet before the grave, carving the name and history of the Containment Officer into the tombstone with his fingers.
Once the tombstone was completed, a solemn power automatically enveloped the area, linking the entire tombstone area and this grave together, forming a whole with the other tombstones, possessing that same touching mystical power.
Currently, the death toll in the sanctuary isn’t high, so Wen Wen personally buries each one.
He brings the Containment Officers into the sanctuary, facing various dangers, so when they pass away, Wen Wen naturally has the obligation to let them rest in peace afterward.
Each deceased Containment Officer’s family receives a substantial compensation from the Foundation.
However, distressingly, sometimes the compensation cannot be distributed...
When Wen Wen completed everything with ritualistic actions, he lit a stick of incense before the tombstone, bowed deeply, and then left.
After leaving the tombstone area, the sorrow on Wen Wen’s face vanished, replaced by an overwhelming intent to kill.
Unless utterly powerless, the Catastrophe Containment Facility will strive to avenge every murdered Containment Officer!
And this time, Wen Wen plans to personally take action, having been quiet for several months, now it’s time to stir things up!
Wen Wen returned to the Central Area to return the shovel to Jin Kela, as the shovel was borrowed from Jin Kela. During the final inactive period of the sanctuary, every deceased Containment Officer was buried by Jin Kela.
Now, as the sanctuary is flourishing, Wen Wen feels somewhat stifled doing the burials, it’s hard to imagine the mindset Jin Kela had a millennium ago, while burying the Containment Officers.
While returning the shovel, Wen Wen coincidentally encountered Lin Huan and the other two, upon seeing the severely injured Hu Yanbing, he contemplated and followed them.
Lin Huan and the others didn’t linger on the first floor but immediately proceeded to the second floor, as only there could Hu Yanbing be saved.
Now, if Containment Officers suffered minor injuries outside, they generally used the Other Shore Flower Potion, but if the injuries were severe, they would come to the sanctuary for healing.
Healing the Containment Officers was a newly opened service on the second floor’s containment shop.
Along with the sanctuary’s growing strength, Nivea, the Light of Life’s power also began to recover, possessing the ability to heal all wounds, started operating once her power was sufficiently restored.
However, this service is not free and requires payment of certain containment points, serving as Nivea’s own private fund.
Nivea always anticipated that one day the sanctuary would regain its glory, allowing her to go out and use her fund to find some handsome guys and have some fun. Correct content is on NovelHub
The so-called Light of Life is also the light of forgiveness...
Nivea’s ability, unlike a panacea, is not so domineering; rather, it activates the self-healing ability of the injured, enabling quick self-recovery, hence Hu Yanbing needs to recuperate for a while before fully recovering.
Wen Wen was constantly observing, watching the residual power of the arrow slowly being extracted from Hu Yanbing’s body, then extended his hand, capturing the energy in his palm.
"This power... seems familiar, but I have no recollection of encountering such power." Wen Wen stared, wide-eyed, at the wisp of energy, unable to fathom what secrets it held.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Wen Wen decided not to strain over it.
He returned to the reception room, transformed into the Cataclysm Prison state, and summoned Lin Huan for inquiry.
Through Lin Huan’s responses, Wen Wen learned about their entire investigative journey in Sihu City, hence Wen Wen decided to go see for himself in Sihu City.
Because the locations where the Fear Hand Demon and the Containment Officer were ambushed were near Sihu City, coupled with the demonic presence in Sihu City, perhaps that’s where the source is this time.
Moreover, after securing Hu Yanbing, Lin Huan and his companions had retrieved the monster’s corpse, despite the corpse’s forehead being damaged by the arrow, it was still identifiable as bearing the mark of the Abyss Eye.
Naturally, vigilance cannot be relaxed in Qianhe City either, as the Faceless Demon could be attacked at any time, so Wen Wen always monitored the Faceless Demon with chains and had Illiyat stay close to him.
With a True-order Master present, there shouldn’t be a major problem.
After making his decision, Wen Wen prepared briefly and left the sanctuary.
He planned to bring Tao Qingqing along to Sihu City, upon opening Tao Qingqing’s room door, Wen Wen found she’s already shed the local wealthy woman’s attire, reverting to a simple and competent appearance.
"Who are you, where’s the previous wealthy woman?" Wen Wen asked earnestly.
"That wealthy woman was infuriated to death by you." Tao Qingqing gritted her teeth, now eager to bite.
Seeing Tao Qingqing’s competent look, Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
If he were to take a leopard-printed wealthy woman to investigate, who’s going to view Tao Qingqing as Wen Wen’s attendant, likely the passerby would consider Wen Wen as the Little White Face...
Probably Wen Wen would have to dress like a nouveau riche too, to overpower Tao Qingqing in appearance.
Sihu City is just next door, the Foundation can call for a special car to easily transport them.
However, Wen Wen desired to fly, so he snapped his fingers, making a lump appear on the ground.
Once the lump emerged, it extended into a strip, climbed onto Wen Wen’s body, spat out a vivid red tongue, and licked Wen Wen’s cheek, only to be roughly yanked aside by Wen Wen.
"Locked up in the sanctuary for so long, you definitely haven’t brushed your teeth, don’t lick me!"
Indeed, this strip-shaped thing was the Three Cubs.
It’s been several months since it consumed a large amount of Tomb Qi, now it has completely digested that energy, losing the previous bloodthirsty impulse, while undergoing transformation itself.
