32: Chapter 32 Ranger 32: Chapter 32 Ranger The old town’s planning was quite poor; many nooks and crannies between the streets and alleys created nurous blind spots.
Soon enough, the maid-costud girl, who was running blindly, found herself at a dead end.
Leaning against the high brick wall, she looked at the two n steadily approaching with a face filled with terror.
Perched on the rooftop, Wen Wen rubbed his chin, grinning like a fox that had stolen an egg.
Playing the hero and rescuing the damsel was cliché, but when actually carried out, it could be imnsely satisfying.
If one had the ability and the courage, most n would surely not pass up such an opportunity.
“Hmm, just wait a little longer, and go down when she’s most desperate.
That’s when it’s the most dramatic.”
“I’ve been so close to puking looking for Scavenging Demons these past few days.
Since I’ve already planned to save you, I might as well have so fun with it.
Don’t bla …”
…
Below, the girl crouched in a corner, looking at the two approaching n with terror in her eyes, yet there was a hint of triumphant cunning hidden deep within.
“After so long, this fairy has finally found a clue.
In a mont, these two dumb pigs will take to their lair…”
The middle-aged man reached out towards the girl, who under her look of fright, hid a trace of a smile.
But her little face turned as black as the bottom of a pot the next instant!
Because a gleaming dagger had descended from the sky, piercing straight through the man’s shoulder and pinning him firmly to the ground!
The man let out a low roar, propping himself up on the ground, struggling fiercely to stand.
“Still got the strength to struggle…
you’re definitely not human.
In that case, I won’t hold back!”
Wen Wen leaped down from the rooftop, not bothering with any cushioning movents, and stepped directly onto the middle-aged man’s back.
The trendous impact shattered his spine, and after struggling weakly a few tis, he finally passed out on the ground.
The man in the suit emotionlessly drew a small knife and stabbed at Wen Wen, but with a slight tilt of his head, Wen Wen dodged it.
Then, pushing against the suited man’s chest with his left hand, he shoved him against the wall.
The strength of the vampire prevented the suited man from moving.
Wen Wen’s right hand showed the Catastrophe Gloves, chains began to creep along the suited man’s body, but withdrawing disdainfully after revealing just a small portion.
“Tsk…
turns out you’re just a weakling not even worth Sanctuary’s attention.”
After confirming there was no value, Wen Wen used his dagger to slit the suited man’s throat.
Blood, crimson with a tinge of foul odor, sprayed out.
Then he stepped back calmly, ensuring not a single drop stained his clothes.
Well, that was a perfect hero-rescues-beauty scenario.
Next, he would just need to look cool in front of her, then coldly ditch her…
“Beautiful, it’s best not to go out alone at night.
If you hadn’t t …”
“If I hadn’t t you, how could my plan have failed!” The girl glared, anger nearly spilling over.
Wen Wen paused, sensing that sothing was amiss.
He said dryly, “Miss, referring to yourself as ‘old mother’ is sowhat crude.”
“Crude?
You’re calling ‘old mother’ crude?”
The girl, hands on her hips, looked at Wen Wen, anger bursting forth: “I planned all day just to get caught by them perfectly, and now when my plan was just starting, you’ve killed them!”
Wen Wen scratched his head: “You let them catch you on purpose?
Your taste is quite heavy indeed.
I doff my cap to you.”
Girl: “…”
Wen Wen waved his hand and said, “Anyway, even though I ruined your plans, I did save you.
Let’s just call it even.”
Girl, through gritted teeth: “Do you see needing your rescue?”
Wen Wen gave her a few glances, noting her pure looks and fiery figure, just the type bad guys favored, then he nodded and said, “I’d say it was quite necessary.”
“Since you put it that way, let’s have a couple of rounds.
But if you can’t beat , you’ll have to help finish this job.”
Wen Wen shrugged his shoulders and said, “As you wish.
But if I win, whatever I do to you, be psychologically prepared.”
No sooner had he agreed, Wen Wen’s pupils suddenly shrank because a delicate fist was coming straight at his face.
He was about to dodge, yet he felt that no matter how he evaded, the fist would strike him!
This woman was an expert, and not just an ordinary one!
Before he could finish his exclamation, Detective Wen, who had just been looking so imposing, was flattened to the ground by a punch that seed so frail.
He sat up abruptly and looked at the girl innocently, “We hadn’t even said start, why did you hit !”
The girl walked over to Wen Wen, nudged him with her foot, and said, “Get up quickly.
Since you’ve ssed up my plan, you’ll have to help finish it.”
Wen Wen sighed and stood up, sowhat at a loss for words.
He had rely wanted to relax and play the old ga of the heroic rescue.
But the way things unfolded was completely beyond his expectations.
If this woman was so formidable, why hadn’t she resisted?
Could she possibly be a masochist?
The stories of heroes saving the damsel in distress…
They’re all lies…
…
Half an hour later, in the corner booth of a bar, Wen Wen held an ice pack to his face and looked at the pretty girl opposite him with a look of resentnt.
A few n had tried to co over and chat, but after the girl knocked them down with a couple of punches, nobody else approached.
“A bet’s a bet.
Since you won, I’ll help.
Just tell what you want to do,” Wen Wen said with so toothache, realizing that his self-healing ability couldn’t recover from the beating he’d taken from this woman!
The girl clutched her cocktail glass and sipped her drink, her cheeks slightly flushed, “What you need to do is simple, just find that guy for , and then leave the rest to .”
Find what?
A monster or a person?
Wen Wen said with a wry smile, “Can you at least give a brief, so at least I understand what’s going on?”
“It’s confidential.
You’ll have to join in the search if I tell you,” the girl said in a low voice, trying to sound mysterious.
“Alright, then I won’t listen,” Wen Wen said with certainty.
“You’ve already agreed to help , so listen up or I’ll beat you!” the girl threatened, brandishing her fist.
Wen Wen, a full-grown man, couldn’t let a young girl threaten him like this, so he obediently listened as she explained the situation.
“First, let introduce myself.
My na is Gu Panxi, and I am a Ranger,” the girl said to Wen Wen with a hint of pride.
“You’re…
a Ranger?” Wen Wen looked at the girl nad Gu Panxi in shock, disbelief written all over his face.
The girl lifted her head proudly, and the pale blue veins on her snow-white neck were clearly visible.
Even though the girl had admitted it, Wen Wen was still incredulous.
Rangers were a cut above Demon Hunters who were stationed worldwide, roaming various places and dealing with monsters that local branches couldn’t handle.
Only superpower users who had reached Sequence Three, the ‘Assimilation’ level of the five sequences, were qualified to beco Rangers, and the ones above them were top dogs of the Hunters Association, the leading figures at the pinnacle of the Superpower World.
Yet Gu Panxi looked to be only sixteen or seventeen, seemingly a schoolgirl, and she possessed such strength at her age?
“But…
if you’re a Ranger, that explains it.”
That overwhelming strength, sothing ordinary Demon Hunters could not achieve, even Wen Wen doubted Lin Zheyuan could accomplish.
eting a superpower user with such strength for the first ti, Wen Wen obediently followed her to this bar.
Wen Wen slouched in a sagging posture and told her, “Speak up, I’m all ears.”
“Captain Lin has told about you.
You seem to be very skilled at tracking, so I want you to help find a monster,” Gu Panxi stated her request.
“What monster?”
Wen Wen grew interested.
A monster that warranted such dedication from a Ranger had to be powerful, and if he could get it into the Sanctuary, Wen Wen’s entire combat ability would greatly increase!
Gu Panxi took a sip of her drink, then whispered in a voice only Wen Wen could hear.
“The Lost Maternal Body!”
