Wen Wen had already promised Delia to rescue her. Although Delia was frightened into unconsciousness, Wen Wen couldn't just watch her vanish here.
He placed the Catastrophe Gloves on the barrier, urging the Catastrophe Gloves' suction force, attempting to destroy this barrier.
But as soon as he touched the barrier, he suddenly widened his eyes.
"This texture feels somewhat off. Clearly, it's a barrier close to Catastrophe Level, so why does it feel so strange..."
"It's as if the barrier doesn't exist at all. I've never seen such a barrier. The Catastrophe Gloves have no reaction to this powerful barrier."
Wen Wen pondered hard for two seconds, decided to give it a try, and extended his right hand forward.
As a result, his hand passed right through the barrier!
But as his entire right hand was about to pass through, Wen Wen suddenly stopped. He had a hunch that if he continued further, he would be attacked by the barrier.
Why did the Catastrophe Gloves go right through, but in the areas not covered by the Catastrophe Gloves, they couldn't advance?
Wen Wen had an idea; the black robe suddenly covered his body, and he nimbly slipped into the barrier without triggering any response from the barrier. It's possible that the people inside the barrier didn't even know someone had entered.
Standing at the edge of the barrier, Wen Wen looked up and stared at the 'All-Seeing Eye' Holy Emblem for two seconds before leaping towards it.
This emblem possessed inscrutable power, so Wen Wen didn't rashly approach. He examined the parts of the emblem and then looked at the rest of the building, noticing a faint incongruity.
The Holy Emblem was added later!
Having some confidence in his thoughts, Wen Wen continued climbing like a spider into the sanctuary.
The sanctuary appeared to be like a church, but the inner space was somewhat different from a church. The front hall was a circular hall where a group of people surrounded it, watching the unconscious girl placed in the middle of the hall.
This group of people stood on the left and right sides. Those on the left wore various robes, concealing their faces, appearing mysterious. These people were likely members of the Truth Society.
The right side, however, was much more flamboyant, filled with all sorts of oddities that clearly weren't anything good.
Liberty Vine Man, who possessed Upper Sequence strength, stood with two other Upper Sequences; the three of them were considered the leaders of this group.
One of the Upper Sequences, a middle-aged woman with average looks, was playing with a dice the size of a human head. The six sides of the dice depicted a man, a woman, an angel, a demon, a clown, and a robot.
Upon closer inspection, one could notice skin-like textures and facial features on the big dice, which was actually the head of the notorious villain Six-faced Man from Arkham City!
And this middle-aged woman was the wife of Six-faced Man, who harbored deep resentment towards the Black Night Knight.
The other Upper Sequence had skin that was half blue and half black, with two holsters on their body containing two water-gun-like objects.
This individual had taken all the inheritance of the notorious villain Oceanic Ice-Fire People from Arkham City and had obtained similar strength, also wanting to find trouble with the Black Night Knight.
The other less powerful oddities also harbored the same thoughts, though they weren't even considered a fart by the Black Night Knight, so they had no choice but to cooperate with the Truth Society.
Seated at the head position was a man dressed in a golden silk robe. This man's hair was grey, and his eyes seemed to hold infinite mysteries. Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
He was one of the thirteen professors of the Truth Society, Professor Qiao!
Previously killed by Wen Rui, Qiao Kun was the offspring of this Professor Qiao, so he had some grudge against Wen Wen.
"Does this girl have knowledge from another world?" Professor Qiao asked Liberty Vine Man.
Liberty Vine Man bent forward and said, "Yes, Professor Qiao, this is the gift I brought for you."
Professor Qiao nodded in satisfaction and extended a hand towards Delia, "Wake up."
Delia let out a gasp, then opened her eyes to see the group of monstrous figures around her, trembling in fear.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. I am a scholar, only interested in knowledge. Can you hand that thing over to me?"
Delia shook her head and weakly replied, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but that thing is embedded in me; I can't give it away."
Given the current situation, she had long stopped wanting to hide that thing, but it wasn't something she could give away even if she wanted to.
"It's fine, as long as you're willing to give it to me."
Professor Qiao gestured to Delia, and her body floated up uncontrollably. Light spots were forcibly extracted from her body, forming a hard drive-like shape in front of her.
Delia trembled with fear, while Professor Qiao kindly reassured, "Rest assured, the extraction process won't harm you. Besides, I'm only borrowing it. Once my research is complete, I'll return it to you."
As for how long this borrowing could last, that was uncertain. If the knowledge here was rich enough, Professor Qiao might study it for centuries.
However, since the Truth Society wasn't an evil organization, their conduct was relatively mild and, at least superficially, not excessively domineering.
The extraction of the hard drive felt strange, as if something was flowing out of the body, yet it was kind of pleasurable.
Delia rolled her eyes up inadvertently and saw Wen Wen in the same posture.
Wen Wen extended a finger, "Shh, I'm here to rescue you, don't..."
Delia let out a scream and fainted again.
Other members of the Truth Society and those Arkham ruffians all gave peculiar looks toward Professor Qiao.
Professor Qiao rubbed his nose, "This really won't harm her; she might be just too frightened."
All the light points had been extracted and had formed into a hard drive, while the unconscious Delia fell to the ground.
Professor Qiao ordered someone to bring a computer, and with high expectations, inserted the hard drive into it, clicking open folders one by one, his face growing increasingly grim.
Wasn't it supposed to contain knowledge from another world? Why were they all cultural works?
He desired forbidden knowledge, magic, celestial arts, curses. What was all this?
Hold on, maybe it still held some value.
There was a folder titled 'Zhongdian Chinese Network,' containing thousands of novels, providing countless cultivation paths. Although these were undoubtedly nonsense, they held some reference value.
Professor Qiao unplugged the hard drive and casually tossed it aside, but Wen Wen seemed a bit eager for this thing.
This thing appeared interesting, and it might contain many movies Wen Wen had never seen and songs never heard of.
To someone like Wen Wen, who only cared about whether things were interesting and didn't weigh minor pros and cons heavily, it was even more valuable than a top-tier Containment Item.
Besides, perhaps the Foundation could acquire a new cultural industry company, to gather more funds.
