80: Chapter 80: Unfinished Building 80: Chapter 80: Unfinished Building Wen Wen’s smile was extrely stiff as he pinched the underwear between two fingers, really not wanting to forcefully sniff its sll.
“Keep looking, maybe there are other items with a stronger scent…”
After searching for a few minutes, Wen Wen was disappointed, the only valuable clue here was this piece of underwear.
“Just sniff it, just a light sniff…”
Wen Wen, with a look of disgust, leaned into the underwear that hadn’t been washed for who knows how long, took a deep breath, then rolled his eyes and his face irregularly twitched.
“Damn it, it’s even worse than human odors!
It choked , I swear when I catch you, you won’t be comfortable!”
After retching for a while, Wen Wen cald himself down, took out a lighter, and set the underwear on fire.
The fact that he had sniffed this thing couldn’t get out!
He wouldn’t allow anyone to know!
After burning it clean, Wen Wen appeared confident and left the room, seeing two people carrying corpses out.
Although, essentially, these corpses were no longer human, they still had human skins, and their bodies shouldn’t just rot here.
Cremating the dead, not letting the deceased be holess after death, was the customary practice of the Hunters Association.
Wen Wen might not necessarily do it himself, but he respected this practice of the Association.
Speaking of which, the toughest to deal with was the Puppet Wen Wen had subdued; he was heavy-handed, a Puppet killed by Yan Xiu could at least keep a whole corpse, but one killed by Wen Wen…
might need so assembly.
“I can roughly determine the direction that guy left in, can do so simple tracking.
You guys hurry up with the cleanup, and we’ll catch up, or he might get too far away.”
“My brother was right, you are indeed suited for this job,” Lin Lu said as she pieced together a head and a body, looking at Wen Wen in surprise.
“Your brother?” Wen Wen asked, puzzled.
“Lin Zheyuan is my brother.
We both share the surna Lin and work together; I thought you knew,” Lin Lu said, widening her eyes; Wen Wen surprisingly didn’t know.
“If it weren’t for your Hunters Association’s super encrypted personnel files, I would have thoroughly checked you all out already,” Wen Wen complained.
Lin Lu was there handling the corpses, while Wen Wen and Yan Xiu were to burn down this eerie guesthouse.
Even though the guesthouse itself seed harmless, it had beco a temporary dwelling for monsters; therefore, it couldn’t be left to wander around.
The two gathered so dry wood nearby, found so fuel from Wen Wen’s car, poured it over the wood, and set it on fire.
The flas roared fiercely, quickly engulfing the entire guesthouse.
“Ha, it just quietly burned down, which is a bit surprising to ; I thought sothing odd would happen.
Boring,” Wen Wen said regretfully as he watched the guesthouse.
No sooner had he spoken than the guesthouse ‘whooshed’ away, vanishing without a trace, with tiny sparks falling down, dream-like.
Yan Xiu and Lin Lu, who was burning corpses nearby, both looked towards Wen Wen, making him raise his hands in frustration.
“I don’t think this should be blad on ; I can’t help if the house itself can run.”
Both of them were still looking at Wen Wen, so Wen Wen picked up the rocket launcher and said, “Like I originally said, just shoot two rockets, and this house will be done for, with no chance to escape.”
The rocket launcher with only two rockets left did not co into play, giving Wen Wen a sense of loneliness only a master could feel.
After handling the situation, Wen Wen took a deep breath, roughly confird the direction, and then drove off in pursuit.
The scent of the monster was stronger than that of ordinary people, indistinguishable to the average person, but Wen Wen found it easy to identify.
Walking and stopping, the trio incredibly found themselves back in Furong River City.
“That monster actually returned to Furong River City, quite audacious indeed,” Lin Lu said, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.
“The scents in the city are too mixed, I can’t continue the tracking.
From here on, it’ll depend on you.
If you find this monster, make sure I am involved in the capture operation,” Wen Wen said as he parked the car, speaking to Lin Lu and Yan Xiu.
“Can’t continue tracking?” Yan Xiu frowned, sowhat surprised by this turn of events.
“The complexity of the city is incomparable to that of a simple highway.
I can only confirm that he entered Furong River City, but I have no idea where exactly he is.”
Wen Wen, of course, could continue the investigation, but doing so would inevitably an these two would follow him, making it difficult to apprehend the mastermind behind the scenes and confine him to the Sanctuary.
Moreover, he didn’t want the Hunter Association to overestimate his abilities.
Maintaining a vague boundary was best.
Since Wen Wen indicated he couldn’t continue the search, the trio parted ways there, and Wen Wen first went ho to park his car, then followed the scent on foot.
Controlling puppets was an ability Wen Wen was determined to possess!
If he could acquire this ability, future tasks would be much more convenient.
Even if he didn’t kill people to make puppets, he could use animals, or enemies that ca to him!
He returned to the entrance of the city, following the vague scent as it began to guide him, like a beacon, constantly directing Wen Wen’s path forward.
This kind of monster that doesn’t hide its scent was very easy for Wen Wen to find.
Searching and searching, he eventually found an unfinished building.
…
The unfinished building was over ten stories high, with a large real estate space.
Inside, there were faint candlelights, signifying that people were living there.
In the Capital District, unfinished buildings were mostly due to a lack of funds to pay worker wages, developers absconding, or illegal constructions and other reasons that halted further developnt.
Due to multiple disputes, such buildings easily beca lawless zones, thus becoming breeding grounds for darkness.
With no managent or need to pay rent, many families unable to cope, scavengers, holess people, and wanted criminals would reside in such places, and even so underworld trades would choose these spots for their dealings.
This place was clearly an unmonitored gray area of the city, and naturally, monsters resided here too.
Xu Hai had not been here long, and his suit and polished look seed out of place.
But this was the only place where he could find shelter.
His original lair had been overturned by the Hunters, so he had no choice but to co here.
The moving house was a painstakingly found lodging that was originally an antique inn that appeared at random wherever people needed it.
Had it not been inhabited by his kind, this inn could have been a beneficial, magical property for the community.
But when Xu Hai entered the inn, using its unique features, he turned all who entered the inn into his puppets, sparing no one.
After taking over the house, he rapidly grew from a weak puppet master into a powerful one!
