Wen Wen slumped in the chair, feeling a bit scared.
Under normal circumstances, the deep sea should not be this dangerous, otherwise, the secret path of the Will of Nature would not be arranged at the bottom of the sea.
So the appearance of that thing should not be an accident; it was probably targeting Wen Wen.
And in the deep sea, the only one with a grudge against Wen Wen is the Ancient God Ensook.
It’s said that the Ancient God Ensook has been in slumber, so that thing is either a manifestation of the Ancient God’s power or a subordinate or partner of Ensook.
Ensook has always been eyeing Wen Li, possibly because during a previous ritual, some of Wen Li’s aura seeped out, which is why Ensook was targeting him on his return.
Wen Wen has never forgotten that Ensook’s real target is him, only he keeps getting redirected to Wen Li.
The ocean is the domain of the Ancient God Ensook, so unless necessary, Wen Wen will not easily set foot into the deep sea again.
Unlike other Catastrophe Level beings, Wen Wen has always been very wary of Ensook, as this slumbering Ancient God’s strength is definitely not just that of a Star Realm God.
Previously, the consciousness of the Ancient God Ensook wanted to descend through the Bewitching Clown Grandi, and there was suspected involvement of the Calamity Level ’Great Mother’s’ power.
Ordinary Star Realm Gods absolutely wouldn’t receive such treatment.
Wen Wen calmed his emotions a bit, he was really scared just now, so he needed to find some amusement to soothe himself.
As for how to return to Mosman Small Town, it’s not a problem for Wen Wen, as he left the Three Cubs at the hotel before leaving, allowing him to transfer back through the Sanctuary at any time.
And the activity that could cheer up Wen Wen would certainly be to interrogate the female assassin, hehehe.
Perhaps the Sanctuary understood Wen Wen’s intent, for when he saw Nie Ying, she was hanging in a "T" position by black chains in the air, her posture somewhat indecent.
Don’t get it wrong, she’s a proper lady, not some suspicious breed.
The extra bit is meant to prevent the short swords from being drawn; she had ten Shadow Short Swords, all of which had been confiscated by Wen Wen.
Considering that he might need Nie Ying to work later, Wen Wen left her with four short swords, sold four at the containment shop, and kept two for himself to play with.
The ability of these short swords is to forcibly create a small shadow environment, which is convenient for Nie Ying, but doesn’t benefit most other superpower users.
Wen Wen also tested Nie Ying’s abilities; traveling and lurking in the shadows is extremely convenient for her, and her speed reached an extreme level comparable to the teleportation ability of that blue monster.
However, spatial abilities are often targeted and unusable in certain special locations.
Although Shadow Affinity also has obvious weaknesses, it is very rare, so many superpower users don’t have means to counter it.
But since Wen Wen has developed multiple ways of using spatial abilities, he chose not to switch for now, intending to change to Nie Ying’s ability if spatial abilities ever fail.
Wen Wen pushed open the door and sat in front of her, playing with a pink glow-handled, barbed long whip, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Hehe, hehehe, little beauty, I’ve finally caught you."
Calling her a little beauty was just for effect, not that he thought Nie Ying was particularly pretty; her face was quite exquisite, but Wen Wen didn’t like flat chests.
Nie Ying raised her head and grimaced at Wen Wen, even though she was captured, an assassin never surrenders!
Wen Wen unhesitatingly whipped her, making Nie Ying yelp loudly, with tears and snot flowing.
As an assassin, she had imagined scenarios of being captured before and trained rigorously. Ordinary interrogation methods wouldn’t cause her to cry out in pain...
Unless she couldn’t bear it.
What devilish gadget is this whip, why does it hurt so much?
"Hey, it hurts, doesn’t it? This is a good thing."
Wen Wen, like a child showing off a toy, displayed his whip to Nie Ying.
This was a special containment item captured by the Containment Officer Old Tings, whose ability was ’summon a truck full of breadmen’, known as the ’All-Purpose Torture Instrument’.
The All-Purpose Torture Instrument is a pink, shapeshifting containment item capable of turning into various torture devices, inducing a strong urge for interrogation in those who acquire it.
Being hit by the All-Purpose Torture Instrument causes an irrational and intense sensation of pain; before Old Tings finished the containment, it had already resulted in dozens of death cases.
However, inside the Sanctuary, this All-Purpose Torture Instrument could not behave wildly and acted like an ordinary tool in Wen Wen’s hand.
This whip, which had not been in the Sanctuary for long, was Wen Wen’s new toy and was perfect for interrogating Nie Ying.
"Hehehe, no matter how loudly you scream, no one will come to save you."
Wen Wen first laughed mischievously and then angrily, "We had no grudges in the past, no hatred lately, why did you say such harsh things to me!"
Nie Ying was stunned, she thought Wen Wen would ask why she launched an attack, but he was caught up with the insults she hurled.
A wise person knows when to give in. Nie Ying blinked and said pitifully, "I said those things to provoke you, to make you show a flaw so I could defeat you. Actually, you’re not ugly at all, just a bit ordinary..."
"Ha, who are you kidding, the truth now!"
Wen Wen whipped her again, tearing her clothes at the waist and abdomen.
Unable to withstand the pain, Nie Ying spoke the truth: "Okay, here’s the truth. Little eyes are really ugly. Look at kittens and puppies, big eyes are cute. Mice have small eyes and everyone wants to chase them away. Isn’t it normal for me to despise small eyes?"
"Is that the truth, even Iron-eating Beasts have small eyes." Wen Wen whipped her again: "Tell the truth!"
Nie Ying felt wronged, she was telling the truth, Iron-eating Beasts have small eyes but big dark circles...
But she didn’t want another whipping and probed Wen Wen: "Then you say, what is the truth?"
"You’re jealous of my looks, so crazily defaming me."
Wen Wen took out a camera he got from the Hunter Association and pointed it at Nie Ying; she just had to say that, and it would serve as evidence.
Nie Ying hesitated for a while, but to avoid more whipping, she finally said what Wen Wen wanted to hear, against her conscience.
Wen Wen happily stored the video; with this, he could somehow make up for the disappointment from being insulted.
Then with a flick of his wrist, the All-Purpose Torture Instrument transformed into a pink slender steel needle, and Wen Wen was eager to try them out on Nie Ying.
"Now, let’s discuss why you attacked my maid!"
