“KSC-0 must be contained in a specially designed containment unit 100 meters underground. The unit is composed of 15 meters thick high-strength alloy and a 5-meter thick energy shield generator, ensuring the containment unit can withstand KSC-0’s destructive power (which might not actually hold up upon testing).
KSC-0 is a young male Resurrector, handsome in appearance, possibly with a charm effect, already causing multiple female Demon-Slaying Masters to neglect their work and run to the restroom.
KSC-0 usually looks like a clear-headed but foolish male college student, occasionally going berserk. It’s estimated that KSC-0 possesses immense destructive power, with an unstable General Level Demon Dragon of cancerous cells sealed within him. In tests, KSC-0 easily suppressed the KSC-1 toy bear (pink phase) which could deliver a punch force of five tons. This…”
Wuzzy Beard looked at the report in front of him, utterly confused.
After a while, he looked up at Xiang Xiaoyuan, “According to the danger level of the contained objects, isn’t it a bit excessive to classify Chen Huaian as A-level (Apollyon)?”
“It’s not excessive,” Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed, pulling out a photo for Wuzzy Beard to see.
In the photo, Chen Huaian had one hand pressing on the head of the toy bear, while the other hand was twisting the Dragon Sniper into a pretzel.
Both the head of the Dragon Sniper and the head of the toy bear were buried in the broken metal floor, as if apologizing.
“What the hell! Is it really this exaggerated?!”
Wuzzy Beard certainly knew the famous toy bear and Dragon Sniper.
These two were notorious troublemakers in the C Province Demon-Slaying Division’s containment facility.
The former was an indestructible monster, incredibly strong. Once it entered its offensive state, its fur would gradually change from pink to dark red. In the deep red phase, the toy bear could unleash a punch with an instantaneous force of 100 tons, so it must either be suppressed or calmed down while still in its pink-furred state.
As for the Dragon Sniper, it was more like a living thermal weapon with a spirit.
Only, this spirit was arrogant and had a bad temper, prone to exploding when things didn’t go its way. Moreover, it refused to be used by men; only female Resurrectors could wield it. The more beautiful the female Resurrector, the more stable its temperament became. However, most of the time, it would grow impatient and strike after just five shots.
The Dragon Sniper was considered to be the same kind of spiritual object as Japan’s cursed blade, Muramasa.
However, the Dragon Sniper wasn’t as evil as the cursed blade. It had already helped the Demon-Slaying Division eliminate some troublesome demons.
Its power and arrogance were undeniable.
But in Chen Huaian’s hands, its arrogance seemed useless.
Its barrel was bent, trembling in fear…
When had the Dragon Sniper ever experienced such humiliation?
“We’ve already given Chen Huaian a new containment room, bigger and more comfortable. The previous one was destroyed, and he’s been worrying about whether he should pay for the damages. Honestly, the losses are significant, but even Director Li Changbai probably wouldn’t dare ask him to pay.”
Li Yunbai was the Governor of the C Province Demon-Slaying Division and a General Level Demon-Slaying Master.
He was currently handling the abnormal Black Coffin incident at Mount Longhu.
The situation there was equally challenging, and he hadn’t returned to the containment base for a long time.
Currently, the main people in charge at the containment base were Zhao Ying, Xiang Xiaoyuan, and the various division directors.
Wuzzy Beard remained silent for a moment before asking, “I want to meet this kid. Is that possible?”
“Yes, and Chen Huaian is in a pretty bad mood right now. If he sees you, he’ll definitely be very happy,” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled at Wuzzy Beard, her tone serious but tinged with relief: “Welcome back, Director Luo. It’s great that you’re safe!”
…
Chen Huaian was stunned when he saw Wuzzy Beard.
Yesterday and today, he had been immersed in guilt.
He had always thought that Wuzzy Beard might have been cremated, but now he unexpectedly met him alive.
Moreover, Wuzzy Beard seemed to radiate an indescribable aura.
It made him feel familiar and close.
It was as if Wuzzy Beard was his twin brother!
Seeing the astonishment on Chen Huaian’s face, Wuzzy Beard grinned, his eyes squinting, “Kid, aren’t you surprised to see me still alive?”
He extended his arm, controlling the cancer cells inside him to wriggle, growing a massive eyeball on his bicep, introducing himself, “My ability is assimilation. On the brink of death, I assimilated the cells of that Demon Dragon, gaining full-body demonified cancer cells. By surviving narrowly, I also gained something beneficial. With these super cells, I’ve already advanced to First-Class Soldier Level.”
Chen Huaian blinked, staring at the tumor on Wuzzy Beard’s bicep, his brain buzzing as he blurted out, “You’re the Tumor Superman?!”
“Tumor Superman? That’s a pretty good nickname!” Wuzzy Beard nodded in satisfaction, crossing his arms, “All Soldier Level Demon-Slaying Masters have nicknames. From now on, I’ll be called Tumor Superman. Let’s introduce ourselves again. My real name is Luo Haisheng, but you can still call me Wuzzy Beard.”
The two chatted casually for a while.
The topic eventually turned to money.
“Is there any way to make money?” Chen Huaian looked expectantly at Wuzzy Beard, “Like streaming? That toy bear and sniper rifle seem suitable for being streamers.”
Wuzzy Beard…
…was baffled by this guy’s train of thought.
Streaming? What?!
After pondering it for a moment, he found it surprisingly feasible and decided not to reject the idea:
“Chen Huaian, with the current resurgence of Spiritual Energy and the emergence of monsters, it’s no longer possible to keep it hidden. The strategies of the noble families, the government, and the Demon-Slaying Division have all changed, shifting from concealment to education and soothing the public.
But getting ordinary people to understand and accept this will take time and a gentle approach. Your idea is actually quite good, and I’ll report it to Zhao Ying.”
Having the toy bear and Dragon Sniper participate in live streams would only be possible with Chen Huaian, since only he could suppress these two contained objects.
He then shifted the subject: “However, it seems like you’re really short on cash. Can you tell me what you plan to use the money for? Here in the containment base, everything is provided for you… You just need to wait for treatment, and there’s nowhere to spend money anyway.”
Chen Huaian paused.
Despite trusting Luo Haisheng somewhat,
he still didn’t want to reveal the secret of his氪gold spending to Luo Haisheng.
Not only couldn’t he say it, but he had to try to hide this information as much as possible.
A day concealed is a day saved.
“I was just scared of being poor before.” He came up with a lame excuse, bitterly smiling, “If I had money, I’d gladly go for a medical check-up, detect cancer early, and get treated earlier, avoiding dragging it until now.
My ex-girlfriend left me because I was both poor and terminally ill. In modern society, money isn’t everything, but without it, you can’t move an inch. Just like your Demon-Slaying Division, isn’t money also part of the rewards? Money gives me security, so I need a lot of it!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Haisheng stared at Chen Huaian, lost in thought for a while.
He only believed three-tenths of what Chen Huaian said. He knew Chen Huaian was hiding something, but he didn’t intend to expose it.
This kid had a strong sense of caution towards people and the world. He appeared optimistic and broad-minded but was actually sealing his heart away in a thick shell.
He guarded against everyone, even Lin Lingling, a junior high school girl, but he wasn’t naturally cold-hearted.
If he were, he wouldn’t have adopted the cat-demon.
As for the fish-demon, anyone else would have eaten the fish before it transformed.
Simply put, Chen Huaian feared betrayal and deception, so he chose isolation and self-protection. Compared to humans, cats and fish seemed simpler, and even as demons, they were purer than humans.
The cat-demon and fish-demon were opportunities that should have belonged to Chen Huaian.
They were what his fragile and easily broken heart deserved.
Luo Haisheng looked at Chen Huaian, as if facing a heart locked away behind layers of shackles, battered and bruised.
He didn’t choose to pry open that shell but instead turned around, drawing his sword to form a new line of defense.
“This card has 600,000 yuan. Part of it is from claimed bounty money and material sales, and another part is my personal task reward for you.”
“Streaming is temporarily on hold and requires Zhao Ying’s approval… Actually, you can participate in the Demon-Slaying Masters’ missions as a contained object and request a share of their bounty. That’s also a decent source of income.”
…
Ten minutes later, Wuzzy Beard left the C Province Containment Base and sat in the car.
“Boss, shall we return to the office?”
“No, let’s go to the Forestry Bureau.”
“The Forestry Bureau?”
“Hmm.”
Wuzzy Beard looked at the list of officials sent by Zhao Ying, his eyes flashing with cold determination.
When he first obtained the incomplete cultivation technique scroll,
he vowed to ensure justice would never be late.
Though for Chen Huaian, it was already eight years too late.
Some accounts…
were overdue for settlement.
