Chapter 240 Night Owl, Do You Want Power?
Let's rewind three minutes.
Thick fog churned within the mysterious, grayish-white space.
Lin Fan withdrew his hand from the nameless tombstone in horror, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Hugos.
Could this be the cemetery where those monsters are buried?
What were those things I absorbed before?
Lin Fan stood there dumbfounded, feeling like his brain wasn't quite working properly.
It took him quite a while to come to his senses.
Who cares what it is, as long as these powers can be used for my own purposes, that's enough.
Having figured all this out, Lin Fan quickly felt relieved.
At the same time, his gaze also unconsciously drifted to the other tombstones.
"Since you can obtain information by touching the tombstone."
He turned to look at the other tombstone closest to him, "Are the other tombstones also...?"
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the tombstone next to him.
After a slight hesitation, I reached out and placed my hand on it.
hum-
As if confirming his guess, the moment he pressed his palm down, a massive flow of information crashed into his mind.
The incomplete image kept flickering.
He saw a vast swamp where poisonous water had gathered, and in the center of the swamp, a huge serpentine monster with nine heads was writhing.
Wherever the monster went, birds and beasts turned to bones, and mountains and lands became stinking swamps.
Violent, bloodthirsty, and highly poisonous.
A wave of unprecedented energy surged through his mind.
For some inexplicable reason, he could sense that this was an ancient life form born purely for destruction.
Immediately afterwards, an obscure name, yet one that exuded a terrifying aura, surfaced in his mind.
Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu?
It was Xiang Liu?
As a Chinese, he naturally knew very well who Xiang Liu was.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an ancient calamity beast.
He never expected that he would have the chance to see such a creature, especially under these circumstances.
For a moment, he felt a mix of emotions.
However, just as he was about to continue his investigation, a strong tearing sensation suddenly came from the void.
At the same time, a strong pain surged through his mind, the intense agony of being shot through the brain instantly filling his senses.
Come on!
How did it come back to life?
"Holy crap...that hurts!"
Lin Fan was completely bewildered. He suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, and instinctively got up.
Although the wound on his chin had healed, the excruciating pain still made him gasp for breath.
Before he could catch his breath, his gaze was fixed on the sky above.
The once clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, and crimson lightning raged wildly within them.
The air pressure was frighteningly low.
"broken."
Upon seeing this situation, Lin Fan instinctively wanted to stop the disaster.
To his utter surprise, just as he was trying to fully grasp the nature of the disaster, the cause, or rather the root of it, suddenly appeared in his mind…
He wasn't the only one pulled back to reality; he also brought back the consciousness of touching the tombstone earlier.
A mysterious connection immediately arose in his heart.
He knew very well that the disaster brewing in the clouds at this very moment was a spiritual entity from the Xiang Liu tombstone he had just touched.
It can also be described as a projection with certain capabilities.
Lin Fan didn't know what would happen when this thing descended, but he knew it wouldn't be good.
Moreover, even he, the instigator, was powerless to stop it.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, all members of the Dark Night Security team raised their weapons and went into battle ready.
"My God, is this the end of the world?" Mark stared at the sky in terror, holding a heavy machine gun.
"God! Which demon is about to descend this time!" Domingo clasped his hands together and frantically kowtowed in front of him.
At this moment, Lin Jianguo's expression was also terribly solemn.
Possessing the talents of a mythical beast, his perception far surpasses that of everyone present.
The oppressive atmosphere in the air made him realize that what had appeared was extraordinary, even giving him the feeling that the other party could easily wipe them all out.
This was the first time he had felt this aura since his talent had been awakened.
"Put your guns down!"
Lin Fan quickly arrived at the foot of the city wall, looked up and shouted at the crowd.
Everyone looked down at him.
Lin Jianguo frowned deeply: "Son, what have you come up with this time? I have a feeling this thing is something special."
How could it not be small?
That's the calamity beast Xiang Liu!
Lin Fan did not answer, but instead leaped onto the ten-meter-high city wall.
Although Xiang Liu's appearance surprised him somewhat, a bold idea also popped into his head.
Reaching the wall, he didn't explain anything, but walked up to the night owl. He reached out and patted the night owl on the shoulder:
"Brother Night Owl, I remember you said you were an A-rank Awakened, right?"
"Um?"
Night Owl paused slightly, somewhat unable to follow Lin Fan's train of thought, but still nodded subconsciously, "Yes."
"Would it be convenient for you to demonstrate?"
"What??"
The owl looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"No way, what time is it? You still want me to demonstrate?"
"Yes, there's not much to explain now. I want to see." Lin Fan nodded.
"Uh... okay."
Seeing Lin Fan's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, Night Owl swallowed and didn't ask any more questions.
He took two steps back, took a deep breath, and activated his innate ability.
Next second,
A strange luster appeared on the surface of his body.
In less than two seconds, he became completely integrated with the gray-black concrete wall behind him.
It has no outline, and even the rise and fall of its breathing are assimilated by the environment.
This is an extremely high level of stealth capability.
Lin Fan looked at the spot where Night Owl had been standing, sensing the flow of energy within the other's body. After a while, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers:
"Alright, let's deactivate it."
The owl reappeared, still staring at him with a bewildered expression.
Instead, Lin Fan stared into Night Owl's eyes and asked a seemingly random question:
"Brother Night Owl, would you like to enhance your abilities and perhaps gain another new one?"
"What do you mean?"
Night Owl didn't understand Lin Fan's meaning for a moment.
But then, as if realizing something, his eyes widened. "No...you...you wouldn't be thinking of..."
Lin Fan pointed to the churning dark red thunderclouds in the sky:
"That's right, just like you think."
"See that thing over there? Although it's a fragmented projection, its power is incredibly strong. It's a real shame to use such power only as a disposable destructive product..."
