"Don't move around, bamboo skewers are very fragile. I might not have enough, so you'd better behave."
On the seventh day at noon, Wen Wen hid inside an empty apartment building, jabbing bamboo skewers into the hand of a monster.
This monster had a spherical body, covered entirely in hands except for the eyes. It was a Hundred-Handed Monster, bizarre in appearance but not particularly strong.
The cruelest method Wen Wen could think of to deal with a Hundred-Handed Monster was to pierce a bamboo skewer through each of its nails.
The Hundred-Handed Monster howled in agony, but no one around could respond to him.
In Yalan City, where monsters frequently attacked, finding an unoccupied room was fairly easy.
Once everything was ready, Wen Wen prepared to take the Hundred-Handed Monster to a prominent location to deal with it.
He had been doing this for seven days, executing twenty monsters of various sizes, and his strength was nearly restored to the point of Assimilation.
The monsters in the city still had no idea who was repeatedly attacking them.
The low-level monsters were living in constant fear, shivering at the thought of the smile marks on those monsters.
The high-level monsters with Disaster Level strength were also trembling with fear.
Although no upper-tier monster had been harmed yet, the traces of the perpetrator's actions suggested that they were becoming increasingly powerful.
Someday, it could be them who get hunted.
So, the high-level monsters in the city planned to gather together to form an Anti-Demon Hunter Alliance.
Normally, these monsters had different interest entanglements among them, but now they put aside these entanglements, suspended disputes, intending to return to their original state after Wen Wen was removed.
Wen Wen had already learned of this plan ahead of time from interrogating a monster, and after dealing with the Hundred-Handed Monster, he was ready to give these foolish monsters a big surprise.
Wen Wen threw the Hundred-Handed Monster at the entrance of a large mall, watching as the surrounding commoners scattered in fear. He smiled and returned to his temporary base.
For Wen Wen, the reaction of the commoners in Yalan City was also quite interesting.
Now, they no longer feared monsters excessively because Wen Wen showed them through his actions that these monsters could also be killed.
Yet, they didn't regard Wen Wen as their savior; instead, they saw him as an even more terrifying monster.
Wen Wen didn't mind this, since he admitted he'd gone a bit overboard while having his fun…
Returning to his temporary base, Wen Wen frowned. When leaving, he'd wedged a strand of hair in the door gap. It was now gone, indicating someone had entered his room.
Fortunately, the intruder didn't intend to hide. After standing at the door for two seconds, it automatically opened, revealing Gerald with his white hair seated inside, looking at Wen Wen with a serious expression.
"You've gone too far."
Wen Wen didn't enter, standing at the door and shrugging: "Are you guys, your security department, siding with those monsters now?"
Gerald shook his head: "We had an agreement before. You're supposed to hand over the bodies to us for processing, and with the way you're doing it now, we can only recover half of them."
"We had an agreement?" Wen Wen said mockingly, "I don't remember agreeing to that. It's already a favor that I didn't ask you for money after killing so many monsters. Don't try to set terms with me."
Gerald said sternly, "The Anti-Demon Hunter Alliance is about to form. They think our security department is behind the attacks, which means we're bearing a lot of pressure on your behalf."
"If you continue with this, we won't only fail to gain any benefits but will also face enormous risks..."
Wen Wen sneered, "And what does that have to do with me? Everything you're saying just shows the inadequacy of your security department, and in this world, inadequacy is the original sin. I've long paid back any debts to you; there's no need for me to change my modus operandi for your sake."
If the security department were an organization like the Hunter Association, Wen Wen would certainly be willing to assist them. But they weren't, and Wen Wen had always felt there was some conspiracy with the security department.
This dreamscape was specifically woven for him by Yan Zu. Anyone could be Wen Wen's enemy, even the powerless commoners.

Gerald stood up, his large frame exuding an immense sense of oppression.
His body quickly swelled, doubling in height, and the gloves on his hands emanated a demonic power, pouncing towards Wen Wen like a grizzly bear.
Wen Wen swiftly dodged, and Gerald's fist smashed into the stairwell wall, instantly engraving red patterns on the wall before it crumbled into countless fragments.
Gerald then stomped heavily, a green glow appearing on his shoes, significantly boosting his speed as he fiercely attacked Wen Wen.
Wen Wen's pupils slightly contracted; this extraordinary attack power came from a monster he killed four days ago, one that could rapidly corrode its target, making it incredibly fragile.
His unusual speed was also linked to a monster Wen Wen had dealt with before.
As Wen Wen captured more monsters, Gerald also rapidly grew stronger.
The rate of his enhancement was quite astonishing. Whenever Wen Wen defeated a monster, his strength only increased slightly, whereas Gerald seemed able to fully absorb the abilities by just putting on the corresponding gear.
This reminded Wen Wen of himself, not his current self, but his real-world self.
After defeating a monster, he could acquire its abilities through the Sanctuary!
Wen Wen knew all too well how difficult an opponent like that could be, so after a few exchanges with Gerald, realizing he couldn't gain the upper hand, he detonated an Exploding Dagger and used the chance to flee.
Gerald snorted coldly at Wen Wen's retreating figure and didn't pursue him.
His skin pulsed with veins, and his fists trembled slightly. Using such powerful strength didn't come without a price, and he was now in extreme pain.
Originally, Gerald thought dealing with Wen Wen would be effortless, but unexpectedly, Wen Wen had hidden depths. Coming unprepared was his own carelessness.
After leaving Gerald, Wen Wen arrived alone at an estate on the outskirts of Yalan City.
This was the meeting location for the Anti-Demon Hunter Alliance, and the meeting was to be held at noon. Those monsters who preferred eerie environments did not dare to congregate at night.
During these days, Wen Wen had been gathering materials all along.
As an explosives enthusiast, Wen Wen had a deep knowledge of bombs, and it wasn't challenging for him to concoct explosives himself.
Although the power of these explosives couldn't be entirely satisfying due to environmental limitations, as long as there were enough of them, the damage would be considerable.
