Swish!
Wen Wen, with his face covered by a black cloth, suddenly appeared in the pitch-black western annex building.
The cloth was to prevent him from being disoriented by the red mist again. Although he could hold his breath for a long time, this cloth provided extra protection.
There was one issue, though. Wen Wen's containment officer uniform was so durable that it couldn't be easily damaged. So the only cloth he had to cover his face was…
Well, he certainly wasn't going to use his underwear!
This cloth was from a bag of blood plasma he had exchanged with the female vampire. It even had a faint fragrance.
In this environment and with this attire, if anyone saw Wen Wen now, they would immediately consider him a bad guy.
Upon re-entering the western annex, Wen Wen noticed that there were no dense vines around him. This confirmed his previous assumption that the vines would not stay in one place idly.
However, it was strange that the iron door was open, the cart was tilted on the ground, and a pile of limbs and internal organs were scattered everywhere, but there were no mysterious vines in sight.
"This doesn't seem right… Did the vines leave because of me?"
Wen Wen closed his eyes and focused on his hearing. He could vaguely hear some eerie noises from the adjacent area and smell fresh blood!
This was trouble caused by Wen Wen himself. After considering the situation, he decided to check it out. Turning a corner, he saw a horrifying sight.
Countless blood-red vines were entangling a female nurse's body. The spiked vines had cut her skin into a bloody mess, some even probing into her body, continuously draining her blood and flesh.
The nurse was Liu Qing'e, who was now barely recognizable as a human but still had weak breaths.
"...I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to save you."
Wen Wen sighed. Although he wasn't a good person, even with the ethics of a detective, he couldn't just watch someone die.
He drew a small knife and threw it at the nurse's neck. The knife struck her neck precisely, ending her life.
By the time Wen Wen saw her, she was beyond saving.
The vines showed no special reaction to the dagger, continuing to focus on their meal. At this stage, a single human body was sufficient for them.
Looking at the nurse one last time, Wen Wen drew two long daggers from his coat, prepared to deal with the eerie vines. After his encounter with the feathered serpent, he carried more than one knife.
With his increased strength, he was capable of cutting through these vines. Since he had caused the vines to attack, it was now his task to end it.
Suddenly, the badge on Wen Wen's chest heated up intensely, even more so than when he was almost attacked by the vines!
Wen Wen stopped his actions. At the same time, voices could be heard from outside the iron door.
"Mr. L, I assure you that the blood and flesh are delivered daily. I really don't know why it suddenly went berserk." An elderly voice spoke in a low tone.
"But now the 'Bloodthirsty Vines' are indeed out of control." A gentle but cold voice responded, sending shivers down Wen Wen's spine.
Not only the badge but the unique sense of danger for vampires was also warning Wen Wen that the outsiders were extremely dangerous!
"This should be just an accident. It shouldn't affect our subsequent plans…" The elderly man said, trying to smile.
"You'd better hope it's just an accident." A man dressed in a black high-collared long coat entered with a white-coated old doctor following him.
As they entered, Wen Wen, without hesitation, jumped out of the window and escaped down the building.
"Who!"
The man in black reacted quickly, becoming a blur as he followed Wen Wen to the window, looking down but seeing nothing.
"His speed isn't too fast, but… he's vanished…" Mr. L said with a serious face.
"Mr. L, Mr. L, what was that just now?" The old doctor hurried over, standing behind Mr. L, panting.
The sudden disappearance of Mr. L had frightened him. He dared not stay in the room any longer.
"Someone escaped from here. It was a superhuman." Mr. L said calmly.
"That's impossible." The old doctor broke into a cold sweat. He knew what happened if someone made a mistake while helping this man.
"I'm not mistaken. This place is exposed."
"Well… the matter you promised me, about extending my life…" The old doctor hesitantly asked.
"You're no longer of any value." Mr. L extended his hand in a grasping motion, causing the old doctor's body to levitate, immobilizing his limbs.
As the old doctor floated, his face changed. Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, and he pleaded, "Mr. L, please give me one more chance…"
Before the old doctor could finish, he was horrified as his head was twisted behind his back!
Mr. L lightly waved his hand, and the old doctor's body floated to the front of the eerie plant, where the blood-red vines quickly enveloped the corpse.
One body was sufficient, but the plant would not refuse more.
"Ah, such a pity. If only we had waited a bit longer, it could have matured and been of great use…
Also, who was that earlier…
Did anyone see my face…"
Mr. L stood still, spreading his senses to check the surroundings. Confirming that Wen Wen was not hiding nearby, he left the western annex.
He needed to erase all traces of his presence here to avoid leaving any clues for the Hunter Association.
…
An hour later, Wen Wen's figure reappeared outside the window, grabbing the windowsill and exhaling deeply.
This time, he had managed to escape by hiding in the Calamity Containment Zone.
The speed of the man in black had exceeded his expectations. If he hadn't vanished in time, he would definitely have been caught. With Wen Wen's current strength, he wouldn't have been able to escape if captured.
"Ah, is this still the world I know?"
As an ordinary person, Wen Wen relied on his intelligence to handle many things with ease.
Now, while his power had increased, so had the dangers he faced.
He sought excitement, not being hunted. Just like when he was a detective, he enjoyed challenging cases and dealing with cunning adversaries.
But dealing with a hundred armed with RPGs was not excitement; it was seeking death.
He let go of the windowsill, landed on the ground, took one last deep look at the hospital, and then left.
He couldn't afford to waste any more time here, unsure if that terrifying figure would return for a counterattack.
