Chapter 1012: Chapter 1014: Mountain Wildflower House
The Creation Church is the largest denomination in the Federation, and although Wen Wen himself does not believe, it does not stop him from noticing something off about these people.
Generally, followers of the Creation Church pray before meals, attend church services on Sundays, and sometimes seek out a priest to express their troubles when they feel unrest…
But Wen Wen had never heard of the Creation Church having a custom of reciting scriptures at night.
If it weren’t for the fact that these guys had no energy fluctuations, Wen Wen might have suspected they were pretending to be the Creation Church to engage in some evil consciousness.
Watching for a while, Wen Wen grew more puzzled and pressed his face closer to the glass, his entire face pressed against it, with an eerie smile and remnants of frenzy in his eyes…
A female Demon Hunter, reciting the scriptures, felt her mouth dry and stood up to get a drink of water, only to raise her head and see Wen Wen, causing her to let out a piercing scream, “Ah~!!!”
Although she was a Demon Hunter and had seen quite a few big scenes, the sudden sight of Wen Wen’s face still sent shivers all over her body.
Wen Wen quickly scrambled back to his room; he didn’t want to be seen as a pervert peeping in the middle of the night.
The scream woke up all the slumbering Demon Hunters.
Sifumo questioned the female Demon Hunter in detail and asked everyone in the inn, but even after searching for over an hour, they still hadn’t found the monster she had seen.
The matter ended unresolved, attributed to nothing more than the female Demon Hunter’s hallucination, although everyone still pulled the curtains closed at night…
After it was over, Wen Wen sat on his bed deep in thought. He did not think this was a mere blunder, because when the female Demon Hunter screamed and interrupted everyone’s silent muttering, he sensed a strange wave.
This wave of power felt like something dead, yet alive; Wen Wen found it difficult to find a precise adjective to describe that bizarre aura.
If he had to say, the aura was somewhat similar to the Divine Blood he had obtained back then.
However, the aura emitted by these five Demon Hunters was more powerful, more profound, and even more eerie.
Connecting to Sifumo’s role as the tour guide for this travel group seemed to have other intentions, it’s possible what Sifumo was looking for was related to the five Demon Hunters.
Wen Wen wanted to tell Sifumo, who was investigating, the information he had, but after some thought, he hesitated.
If Sifumo was indeed investigating something, Wen Wen might be the prime suspect in his mind.
Furthermore, there’s no guarantee that Sifumo would be on Wen Wen’s side in this matter.
“Let’s wait and see, the truth will come to light eventually.”
Then Wen Wen took out Lofvis’s Rune Book, spread it open beside him, and took out a radio to start playing elementary moral education.
Now, Lofvis was much closer to the outside of the real world than before, so Wen Wen could seamlessly communicate with him through the Rune Book.
However, Lofvis’s plan to descend had failed, so whenever Wen Wen talked to him, all he got was various complaints.
So Wen Wen unilaterally blocked the other’s voice and, whenever he had time, gave him some moral and ethical education…
Not sure if the Pure White Demon Klauri was listening too, it would be best if they both turned over a new leaf together.
Klim is a big city with many tourist attractions; even after a few days, there was still much of the city left to explore.
But for Wen Wen, this trip was rather boring, so much so that during the daytime of the following days, he went looking for trouble with local small monsters.
Because most of Klim’s attractions were cultural, and Wen Wen happened not to be interested in these.
Every night, Wen Wen observed those Demon Hunters gathering, and he had thoroughly investigated the profiles of the five Demon Hunters. Even the strongest among them was only at Disaster Level, a strength inconsequential to Wen Wen.
Moreover, according to their profiles, they didn’t previously have any faith in the Creation Church, so their nightly gatherings seemed a bit odd.
However, they remained silent at each assembly, and Wen Wen struggled to sense any Supernatural Power from them, so he didn’t gain any useful information.
After five days in Klim, the group boarded a plane to their next destination.
This destination was located at the border between the Dongyou Region and the Golden Eagle District, at a Sakura District-style hot spring inn in the mountains.
Don’t ask why in such a place there is a Sakura District-style hot spring inn, Wen Wen also didn’t know.
Since it was a hot spring inn, its main feature was, of course, the hot springs, which were highly beneficial to superpower users and usually not open to ordinary people, hence its lack of fame.
On the way, several male colleagues anticipated mixed-gender bathing, whereas Wen Wen kept his distance.
Ever since capturing the Mirror Nightmare, Wen Wen had a psychological aversion to places like women’s baths; the mere thought of possible scenarios there made him feel averse.
Although if it were just the travel group’s people… perhaps it would be acceptable. It wasn’t that all female Demon Hunters were beautiful, but the girls in the travel group at least passed the standard in terms of looks and figures.
Swept by Wen Wen’s sinister gaze, most of the girls in the travel group felt a chill, and that female Demon Hunter, who had been frightened by Wen Wen that night, shivered again, her mind filled with unknown thoughts.
It’s worth noting that the several Demon Hunters in the travel group, whose skills were decent, were all in a bad mood.
Now that the trip was halfway through, Sifumo still hadn’t found any clues about the Divine Blood, and the Wanderer always believed there was a conspiracy within the travel group, creating a lot of pressure and preventing him from enjoying the trip.
As for Li Natuo, Ye Wen, and Lin Zheyuan, they too felt the surging undercurrents within the group, which kept their spirits from relaxing.
The happiest among them was Tao Qingqing, who had no mental pressure and focused on enjoying the trip, knowing Wen Wen would handle anything that went wrong so she could just concentrate on having fun.
This hot spring inn was called the Mountain Wildflower House, and at a glance, the renovation showed a rich Sakura District style.
There was no road leading to the inn, so everyone had to trek through the mountain paths, but fortunately, most were robust superpower users, so climbing did not drain too much of their energy.
At the entrance of the hot spring inn stood ten girls dressed in kimonos, and inside, the inn was filled with the fragrance of flowers, offering views of various blossoms.
Those girls were all employees of the Mountain Wildflower House, and it was unknown why an inn with so few guests needed so many staff…
