Chapter 7 Successful Capture

After trying the boy's urine, Wen Wen threw the spray bottle to the ground. Unlike vampires, many legendary methods for dealing with ghosts proved ineffective.

However, after the brief confrontation just now, Wen Wen had basically confirmed that the Little Ghost could do him no harm, so he relaxed quite a bit.

"Is this... urine?" Qin Shuang said blankly, his voice hoarse and grating, making it uncomfortable to listen to.

Wen Wen nodded. "Yes, pure yang child's urine, I just got it tonight, it shouldn't have gone bad yet."

Qin Shuang was silent for a long while before he spoke to Wen Wen,

"You're weird. I can't handle you, but likewise, you can't handle me either. Those toys you're holding can't hurt me."

He pointed at the heap of items Wen Wen had prepared and continued, "Let's stop here, shall we?"

Wen Wen scratched his head in frustration. "What you're saying isn't wrong. I underestimated this time. Dealing with an incorporeal monster like you is quite tricky."

Then, an eerie silence fell between them, one human, one ghost, standing mute as frost began to accumulate in the corner of the dormitory. Despite talking about stopping, Qin Shuang was still trying to freeze Wen Wen.

"Wait, I still have one more move!"

Wen Wen's eyes lit up, he extended his hand, and a black glove appeared, with ominous Black Chains spreading out from his palm...

The Black Chains emitted a sinister aura that made Qin Shuang's heart skip a beat, but after watching for a while, he sneered.

"You're not thinking of using such a slow thing to catch me, are you?"

It turned out that the chains emanating from the glove moved extremely slowly, slower than a tortoise's pace, making it almost impossible to catch a ghost with them.

"Using this to catch you really is a bit strenuous, but... your range of motion is limited to this room. If I wrap the entire room in it, naturally I'll catch you," Wen Wen said with a smile.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Shuang was bound up like a rice dumpling by the Black Chains, lying on the ground. The Black Chains had taken fifteen minutes to spread throughout the entire dorm.

Now Qin Shuang was essentially captured, but Wen Wen wasn't in a rush to drag him to jail.

"You're quite a handful, kid, but I'm more formidable, after all, I am a superpowered being haha," Wen Wen sat next to Qin Shuang, bragging crazily without feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

"Let me tell you, before I caught a vampire, the kind that sucks human blood. I didn't even have to show up, and I drained her energy. Impressive, right?"

Before catching ghosts, Wen Wen already had a plan. His goal was to show off by capturing a monster and to vent the excitement he had accumulated after owning the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

Since losing consciousness in the mental hospital, he had too many things to talk about, but he didn't want others to know, so a ghost about to be sent to jail was the best confidant.

As for why he didn't confide in front of that female vampire... he was too shy!

After spilling all his thoughts, Wen Wen took a deep breath. He felt much lighter now, like he had shed a huge burden.

Then he stretched out his right hand and pinched Qin Shuang's cheek.

"I read your file, at such a young age, you're mimicking adults..."

Mid-sentence, Wen Wen froze. He had just touched Qin Shuang's face!

Before, he couldn't touch Qin Shuang no matter how he attacked because the ghost's body was intangible.

After thinking for a while, he tried to touch Qin Shuang's face with his left hand but couldn't.

So, the reason he could touch Qin Shuang was the Catastrophe Containment Facility-evolved black glove!

After confirming this, Wen Wen's look towards Qin Shuang turned unfriendly, his slender eyes lighting up with excitement.

"At such a young age, you shouldn't get into bad habits like online romance. After dying, you even harm others. Let me educate you on behalf of your mom!"

Then, Wen Wen used his right hand to wildly beat Qin Shuang, hitting his butt, slapping his face, even yanking his hair...

Saying it was all for education was just an excuse, he just wanted to see what beating up a ghost felt like.

After a while, the bruised and swollen-faced Qin Shuang howled, "Master, stop hitting me, quickly withdraw your magic."

Even though he had become a ghost, he was essentially just a teenage brat.

Wen Wen stopped, covered his face to keep from showing too much delight, beating up a ghost was really exhilarating.

Then, he retracted the Black Chains, and Qin Shuang was dragged into the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

"Ha, exhilarating!"

Wen Wen casually fixed his hair, then his nostrils twitched slightly, and his whole expression collapsed.

"That little ghost had 'Boy's Urine' on him! I actually hit him with my bare hands!

And, I even touched his face!"

...

After returning to the hotel, Wen Wen closed the doors and windows tightly and entered the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

The ghostly Qin Shuang was placed on the first floor of the facility, next to Calamity-0001, and within the Calamity-0002 prison.

The prison was surrounded by metal bars, which undoubtedly were useless for a ghost that could pass through walls.

But Qin Shuang just sat there obediently, looking deflated and without any intention of escaping.

Although the bars were the same, above the floor and ceiling, there was a huge golden rune, which did not exist in the prison for the female vampire.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but that he couldn't escape!

"It seems that the Catastrophe Containment Facility adapts its setups based on what is detained... These runes might work on ghosts, I should note this down and test it when I get the chance," Wen Wen murmured to himself.

Locking up another monster, the facility still looked no different, it seems that to this facility, one monster or two didn't make any difference.

Seeing Wen Wen enter, the ghostly Qin Shuang hid in a corner, still vividly remembering the beating he had received.

Wen Wen, pointing at the adjacent cell, said with a smile, "Don't be so scared, hey, you have a beautiful, gentle big sister next door..."

"Aah! Wah! I won't let you off!"

He had only said half his sentence when the female vampire rushed to the edge of the cell, hissing at Wen Wen, her four sharp fangs making her look like a man-eating evil ghost.

Super ferocious!

Little Ghost Qin Shuang changed direction to hide...

"You too, don't get so worked up, I'm just trying to make your stay here more comfortable by finding you a cellmate," Wen Wen said, laughing.

"Are you hunting monsters, do you want to be a Hunter? Let me tell you, no Hunter ends well, I'm waiting for the day you die a miserable death, I hope that day is not too far off."

The female vampire suddenly calmed down, venomously saying to Wen Wen.

Hearing the female vampire's vicious words, Wen Wen suddenly wanted to pat her head, it felt like dealing with a temperamental pet.

"I wonder if monsters locked in a cell get hungry, hope they don't starve to death, they weren't easy to catch."

After making sure everything was secure, Wen Wen left the Catastrophe Containment Facility.
