After looking at the tombstone, Wen Wen felt a bit heavy-hearted. He decided not to stay any longer in the Catastrophe Containment Facility and reappeared in the room where the vampire had been held.
Looking at the silver briefcase in his hand, Wen Wen sighed.
"I'm different from ordinary Catastrophe Containment agents. Is it because of these gloves?"
Ordinary agents couldn't enter or leave the Catastrophe Containment Facility at will; they needed to go through specific rituals or channels. But Wen Wen could enter anytime he wanted, simply by thinking about it.
Wen Wen manifested the gloves and noticed that they had changed.
Five metal rings and the metal wristband all displayed a small light screen, which he could use to control certain things.
He first looked at the wristband, where there was only one option: "Catastrophe-0001." The other parts also had only this one option.
So Wen Wen tapped the wristband to confirm. The moment he did, his body began to change.
At the same time, in the Catastrophe Containment Facility, the nameplate on Catastrophe-0001's cell flashed with a golden light...
It was a strange experience—a tingling sensation spread from the inside of his body to the outside. Wen Wen could feel every part of his body changing.
The change was intense but not painful. On the contrary, it was quite pleasurable, with an odd sense of exhilaration.
When the transformation stopped, Wen Wen felt that he had become different.
His vision became sharper, his body stronger, and he could even hear the sound of his blood flowing!
It was as if... he had turned into a vampire!
Could it be that selecting a cell number on the wristband allows one to possess the abilities of the creature inside that cell?
This is practically a cheat!
To confirm what abilities he could gain, Wen Wen conducted further tests.
First, after selecting a cell on the golden wristband, he would gain some basic abilities of the creature inside, such as physical strength and regenerative capabilities.
The golden rings on his fingers, however, could select a supernatural ability from the creature. For example, the female vampire had only one option: basic hypnosis.
It wasn't until now that Wen Wen realized the vampire had hypnotic powers. Thinking about it sent chills down his spine—luckily, he hadn't given her any chance to resist.
A single cell could only be selected by one metal ring, meaning Wen Wen had two choices: to either have the vampire's basic abilities or to possess an unknown basic hypnosis ability.
So, without hesitation, Wen Wen chose the vampire's basic abilities.
Compared to hypnosis, Wen Wen preferred abilities that made him "less human."
By the time he fully confirmed the gloves' abilities, the sun had already risen. Warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the window, and dust particles were clearly visible.
Seeing the sunlight, Wen Wen instinctively felt some fear. He should now have a vampire's physique, so would he be as afraid of sunlight as a vampire?
"I'd better test this out. Hopefully, it won't hurt too much."
Wen Wen muttered to himself as he cautiously stretched his hand towards the sunlight and quickly pulled it back.
"Hmm... It doesn't seem like there's a problem."
After repeated tests, Wen Wen confirmed that his body was not afraid of sunlight, though it did feel slightly uncomfortable under its rays—whether due to psychological reasons or something else, he wasn't sure.
Moreover, he didn't have vampire fangs, so he clearly didn't need blood to survive. He also tested himself with holy water and other such items, ultimately confirming that he didn't have the same weaknesses as a vampire.
But gains always come with losses. Without those weaknesses, Wen Wen's physical abilities weren't as strong as the female vampire's.
It took him a long time to confirm his condition, as he was very cautious due to his profession.
"Heh heh, I guess I'm not a normal person anymore..."
Wen Wen's slender eyes squinted, his pupils seeming to emit a glow as he tapped his chin, looking every bit like a villain plotting an evil plan.
"Having superpowers and not showing them off to someone just feels like something's missing..."
"I can't show them off to people I know. I'm not strong enough yet, and I can't expose myself. Plus, where there are monsters, there are people who clean up monsters. I don't want to be cleaned up by them."
Smack!
Wen Wen clapped his hands. If he couldn't show off to people, he'd go find those monsters!
Although he hadn't planned to fulfill the duties of a Catastrophe Containment agent or inherit any responsibilities, he at least needed six monsters to unlock the full potential of his gloves. Right now, he only had one!
So, in the name of justice and peace, he had to find other monsters to complete his abilities.
After making his plans, Wen Wen felt a bit excited. He rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the traces left in the room by him and the female vampire the night before, then left.
Out on the street, Wen Wen felt like he could skip while walking.
No matter who you are or how twisted your mind might be, anyone would be excited after gaining powers beyond the norm.
Returning to a nearby hotel, Wen Wen opened his computer and began searching for information.
He usually stayed in hotels because his job made it impossible to settle down in one place. Also, he didn't have a home...
At this point, it's time to briefly introduce Wen Wen. The first half of his life was just like most ordinary people's.
He attended school as usual, took the college entrance exam as usual, and went to university as usual—nothing out of the ordinary.
But after two years in university, he dropped out because he was bored.
He could clearly see his future life, with no surprises—a dull and uneventful existence.
So, he decided to take the detective exam and became a licensed detective.
Yes, a licensed detective.
In the Earth Federation, detectives have their own industry association, and one can only become a detective after passing official examinations.
But the detective profession itself wasn't well-liked by many people.
However, Wen Wen didn't care about that. After becoming a detective, he rediscovered the thrill he had long missed. The feeling of solving cases and capturing criminals wasn't something he could find in a mundane life.
But gradually, even ordinary cases couldn't satisfy him.
At that point, he didn't seek new thrills but instead thought he might have a mental problem and went to a private psychiatric hospital.
What happened next was that he inexplicably connected with the Catastrophe Containment Facility, which brought a huge change to his life.
This supernatural encounter kept him in a state of excitement and doubt for a long time.
To resolve his doubts, he made a decision that normal people wouldn't make—he went hunting monsters!
And he succeeded!
Now, he's planning to find his second monster.
