After hanging up the phone, Wen Wen quickly received an email containing information related to supernatural forces in Furong River City.
After a brief glance, Wen Wen was slightly impressed. The official supernatural organizations certainly had more comprehensive data than what he could gather himself. However, most of the supernatural entities that posed significant threats to civilians and were easily detectable had already been dealt with.
The remaining entities, which posed little danger and held no significant value to Wen Wen, were mostly harmless creatures protected by the Hunter Association, so Wen Wen couldn't act against them. There were also some creatures that were very troublesome to capture, like Qin Shuang, the ghost.
Speaking of ghosts, they're not just troublesome for the Hunter Association to deal with—Wen Wen himself found them a hassle too. Capturing Qin Shuang was purely a stroke of luck, as she was confined to a small room. If he encountered a ghost that could move freely, it wouldn't be so easy to capture.
The fact that there were so many ghosts still uncaptured was proof of how difficult they were to deal with. Capturing them was tough, but if left unchecked, they could cause some harm. They were like a nuisance that was hard to get rid of.
Therefore, the Hunter Association usually chose to isolate ghosts, waiting until they had accumulated a certain number before calling in specialized exorcists, just like when Wen Wen captured Qin Shuang at Luyuan Middle School.
After contemplating for a while, Wen Wen opened the detective website and began searching for "hidden cases" in Furong River City, comparing them with the data he had received. Perhaps he could find something valuable.
As for searching for the Bewitching Clown, Grandy... Wen Wen would look for him, but he wouldn't be too eager. He had already made enough enemies within these secret organizations by reporting them twice. It wouldn't be wise to show himself in front of them again; they might turn their attention to him.
As Lin Zheyuan said, Wen Wen didn't know the extent of Grandy's injuries, and approaching him recklessly could be dangerous.
However, Wen Wen wouldn't just ignore it either. Members of these secret organizations were dangerous. If there was an opportunity to eliminate them, Wen Wen wouldn't miss it. And besides, he might even add a new inmate to the Containment Facility!
So, Wen Wen decided to capture a few creatures first. While doing so, he would keep an eye out for any leads on Grandy.
After searching for a while, Wen Wen locked onto a target. He put on his clothes, grabbed his gear, and headed out. Since he had promised to help find someone, staying at home all the time wouldn't be right.
After getting out of the taxi, Wen Wen surveyed the restaurant in front of him, noting all the entrances and exits. His target was here.
The restaurant was called "Furong Kitchen." Despite the modest name, it was actually a well-known large hotel in Furong River City, and since it was daytime, causing a scene here wouldn't be appropriate.
But he wasn't here to cause trouble. He discreetly entered the kitchen, observing the chefs at work.
One chef stood out significantly. He was over two meters tall, with extremely muscular arms that stretched his chef's uniform to the limit. At first glance, he looked more like a wrestler or a bodybuilder, not someone you'd associate with being a chef.
His body was all solid muscle, but his face was fat. He was Zhu Qipei, the head chef of Furong Kitchen and a first-class chef in the Huafu District, and Wen Wen's target.
Under the guise of a top-tier chef was a creature completely different from humans. This monster had been living in the real world for over ten years without causing any trouble. Sometimes, it even provided crucial information to the Hunter Association, so the Association rarely bothered him.
There were quite a few creatures like Zhu Qipei in the real world. Although the World Beyond was crazy and twisted, just like how there are often some abnormal individuals among humans, the World Beyond occasionally produced some sane monsters too.
Wen Wen didn't disturb Zhu Qipei and waited on the side. He knew that chefs like Zhu Qipei, who held high status, didn't work long hours.
After preparing a dish of stir-fried pig intestines, Zhu Qipei washed his hands and left the kitchen, spotting Wen Wen crouched on the ground.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu. I have something I'd like to discuss with you in private," Wen Wen said, extending his right hand. In his palm was a freelance hunter's badge.
Zhu Qipei's eyes flickered, but he didn't shake Wen Wen's hand. Instead, he said, "I know a quiet place. Follow me."
He led Wen Wen upstairs to an empty room with no guests, shut the door, and sat on the sofa across from Wen Wen, frowning.
"The Hunter Association promised not to trouble me."
Zhu Qipei's head squirmed, transforming into a massive pig's head with sharp tusks protruding from his cheeks. He was a pig-headed man!
A huge sense of pressure emanated from him, causing Wen Wen to involuntarily lean back slightly.
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to cause you trouble. I just want to ask for some information, and it's been approved by the Hunter Association. Have you seen a man wearing a red vest with white face paint? He's wanted by the Association."
Zhu Qipei seriously considered it for a moment, then shook his head, his ears twitching slightly after he stopped.
"I haven't seen this person. Is that all? If so, I'd like to rest. I don't like dealing with people like you."
"I thought as much. Well, the Association's task is done, but I have another question. Do you know of any unruly supernatural entities?"
Zhu Qipei stared at Wen Wen for a while, then his eyes flickered as he said, "I do know of something, but I have no obligation to help you personally. Even if it's a crazy fellow countryman, they're still a fellow countryman."
Wen Wen was momentarily taken aback. He recognized that look—it was the same one he had when negotiating with employers.
"Alright, what do you want in return?"
"Talking to smart people is always pleasant."
Zhu Qipei looked around, his massive body shifting forward as he sneakily said to Wen Wen, "I need to address some... physiological issues. I've been in this world for over a decade and have never found a female pig-headed person..."
"I can't find a female pig-headed person either..." Wen Wen replied slowly, as if he had been petrified.
Zhu Qipei shook his head. "I'm not asking you to find a female pig-headed person. I just need you to help me... relieve myself. I've been holding it in for over ten years, and it's driving me crazy."
"Uh... Should I take you to a brothel?" Wen Wen hesitated as he suggested this, needing considerable courage to say it.
"I'm not interested in human women." Zhu Qipei shook his head, his large ears flapping against his face with a loud smack.
Wen Wen let out a sigh of relief. Even as twisted as he was, he couldn't bear the thought of subjecting those unfortunate women to servicing a pig-headed man. That would be too cruel.
"Then... how about I buy you a few sows?" Wen Wen continued to probe.
Zhu Qipei showed a look of disgust. "I'm a pig-headed man, not a pig. Don't compare us to such livestock."
Wen Wen buried his hands in his hair, rubbing furiously in frustration. "At least give me some hints! Constantly thinking about these things will make me lose touch with humanity!"
Zhu Qipei rubbed his hands together, awkwardly expressing his need.
After hearing it, Wen Wen almost wanted to pull out his gun and point it at Zhu Qipei's head to force out the information he wanted. But remembering the immense pressure he felt from Zhu Qipei, Wen Wen suppressed his irrational thoughts.
