Chapter 1 The Vampire Hunter

Drip, drip, drip...

This was the sound of blood dropping from the air. In the pitch-black room with all windows covered, a young woman was hanging upside down from the roof beam.

Her neck, pale from excessive blood loss, had a small wound. The thick blood, about to coagulate, fell drop by drop from the wound, landing in the cleaned paint bucket below.

Her face was filled with fear, and the pitiful, frightened expression made one want to embrace her and protect her tenderly.

Standing next to her was a tall, thin man in a white coat, with a neurotic smile on his lips, holding a cow horn-tip knife, slightly trembling.

Of course, he didn't have Parkinson's; he was just a bit excited.

"Please, let me go, I beg you," the woman said weakly, pleading.

"Still have the strength to talk, no, that's too dangerous," the man stabbed her in the belly, stabbing her so badly she rolled her eyes.

The woman's expression turned venomous. With four sharp fangs sticking out of her mouth, she struggled violently, like a salted fish tied to a rope and left to dry.

"I will kill you, I must kill you, I will drain all your blood, not just yours, but your family's too, and I won't spare anyone you know."

As it turned out, the woman who was tied up was the monster, a vampire active in various fantasy works, and the tall, thin man with the air of a villain was named Wen Wen, a 'normal' person.

At least biologically speaking, he was a normal human...

Wen Wen shivered. He was startled by the female vampire, so he took out a sprayer and sprayed her with Holy Water...

The Holy Water poured onto her body sizzled like water on a branding iron, emitting white steam, which made her weaker but failed to cause substantial harm.

"Hmm, that should be safe now; after all, I'm very fragile."

Wen Wen took a deep breath, even for him, capturing a vampire had been too thrilling.

"You, you're literally a devil," said the female vampire weakly after being drained by the Holy Water.

"No, I'm not a devil, you are," Wen Wen corrected earnestly.

Once sure that the female vampire had no more strength to resist, Wen Wen rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, closed his eyes, and a mud-like black substance oozed out of the pores of his arm, forming a pure black glove.

The glove was long, reaching up to his elbow, like a lady's glove, and on each of the five fingers, there was a gold ring. There was also a larger gold metal hoop on the wrist.

"Are you a superpower user?" the female vampire widened her eyes, staring at the black gloves.

Wen Wen shook his head, then nodded and said, "Maybe I am."

"Then you're really trash. As a superpower user, to deal with a low-level vampire like me, you use such despicable means," the female vampire said with contempt.

"You have a point,"

Wen Wen nodded in agreement, then cracked a smile and stuffed a clove of garlic into the female vampire's mouth...

One month ago, Wen Wen thought he had some mental health issues, so he sought a highly recommended private mental hospital on someone's advice.

The treatment was going well until a hypnosis therapy session.

After waking up from hypnosis, Wen Wen found that the entire mental hospital was deserted, leaving only him behind, and he had formed a connection to a mysterious space.

That space was a massive prison called the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

Wen Wen's consciousness could enter that space, roaming the first layer of that space, but it was meaningless as there was nothing in it. To make that space useful, at least one prisoner had to be confined in it.

Hmm... Wen Wen didn't know how he knew, but he just did.

He had tried capturing rabid dogs that bite people indiscriminately, brawling drunks on the streets, and even murderers in prison, but the Catastrophe Containment Facility wasn't interested in any of those.

Clearly, only supernatural creatures could elicit a response from this space.

Fortunately, Wen Wen wasn't entirely a normal person, due to his job, he had come into contact with a few similar incidents and knew the world wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

In the past, he would have stayed away from these things, but now he had to actively hunt them down.

And his first target was the female vampire in front of him.

Capturing a vampire wasn't easy, but it also wasn't as difficult as Wen Wen had imagined, even though he was just a human without superpowers. As long as he found the right method, he was able to deal with these monsters.

He ran to a church, stole several buckets of Holy Water and some blessed crosses, and also prepared some things from folklore that were said to be effective against vampires.

Then he set a trap in an area rumored to be haunted by vampires and staked it out for several days until he finally captured this vampire.

After he captured the vampire, he didn't let his guard down, continuing to bleed her and using Holy Water to weaken her.

Even if drained dry, vampires won't die, but blood is the source of a vampire's strength. As long as he kept her bleeding, she didn't have the energy to resist.

Wen Wen had to be very careful, after all, even a severely weakened vampire could easily kill him!

Now that he had completely subdued the vampire, the next step was to get her into the sanctuary.

Wen Wen pointed his glove at the female vampire, attempting to harness the power of the Catastrophe Containment Facility.

The Catastrophe Containment Facility didn't come with an instruction manual, but it wasn't difficult to control. Wen Wen just tried to extend the Facility's power outward, and a force spread from the glove onto the vampire.

This should be scanning her, confirming she had no ability to resist, when the abnormality occurred.

Several black chains emerged from his glove, binding the vampire at an infuriatingly slow pace and dragging her towards his palm. The vampire's body twisted unnaturally as it was pulled into Wen Wen's palm.

But, when the absorption was halfway through, it got stuck!

The rope he had used to bind the female vampire, hanging taut from the beams above, was the very thing preventing him from sucking the vampire in!

Wen Wen muttered in frustration, "…Can't even deal with a rope, utterly useless. If I hadn't weakened her, rushing the absorption could have been a disaster."

With a heavy sigh, while supporting the vampire's buttocks and long legs with his hands, Wen Wen struggled to cut the rope before he could finally absorb the vampire completely.

"Next, let's see what changes have taken place in the Catastrophe Containment Facility."

Before Wen Wen had a chance to wipe his sweat, a cold, emotionless electronic voice echoed in his mind, and then he vanished from the spot.
