VIP waiting lounge.
Lin Yan, whose face was pale due to the aftermath of the car accident, was like a child who had done something wrong. She huddled on the sofa cautiously, looking at someone's face carefully.
The owner of the gloomy face, Chen Chu, sat on the sofa next to them with a sullen face, exuding an unhappy low mood. They had been sitting in the waiting room for nearly half an hour, and no one dared to sit near them.
Lin Xi couldn't sit still any longer, so she held onto the back of the chair and tried to stand up. However, as soon as she moved, someone next to her looked at her with a sullen face.
"I... I want to get some fruit." Lin Yan immediately took the initiative to explain.
Chen Chu looked at the dining table not far away, walked over with his long legs, and soon brought over a tray with various fruits on it, and also poured a glass of juice.
"Thank you." Lin Xi picked up the plate and retreated back to the sofa, eating the fruit from time to time, but... with such a low-pressure machine around her, she had no appetite no matter how delicious the fruit was.
Once we get on the plane we still have to fly for nearly twenty hours. Who can stand this? We have to find a way to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Lin decided to speak directly: "That..."
Chen Chu lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The excitement that Lin Yan had just built up dissipated in an instant, and the words she spoke completely lost their momentum, revealing a strong sense of guilt: "Are you angry?"
Why are you feeling guilty, Lin Xi? You are the one who got hurt and suffered. You have done nothing wrong to anyone. Why do you become scared when Senior Chen Chu sees you
"No." Chen Chu denied decisively.
“…” Your tone clearly sounded like that.
It was strange. This was not the first time that I was hit by a car in front of Senior Chen Chu. If I counted, it had happened at least three or four times. Why was I so angry only this time
"That..." Lin Yan mustered up her courage again.
Chen Chu turned his head again.
"I'm a little bored, can you lend me your phone to play with for a while?" Lin asked.
Chen Chu handed over the phone.
"Thank you." Lin Yan took the phone and shrank back onto the sofa, then quickly logged into her Penguin account.
Maybe because the person who gave them the phone was a Chinese supernatural being, this phone had many social apps commonly used in China installed, including Penguin, WeChat, etc.
Since she couldn’t log into WeChat at the moment, Lin Yan could only log into Penguin.
As soon as she came online, a message flashed in, it was from the King of Dirt.
Dirt King: [Are you back?]
Lin Yan: [I’m still in Country Y, waiting for my flight at the airport. I still have two hours before I board the plane.]
Dirt King: [Oh.]
After the King of Wu replied with an "oh", there was no more news.
This person, your colleague and I have finally been able to get in touch with you after risking our lives, and you don't even care about me? How cold and indifferent!
Lin Yan complained fiercely in her heart, and then took the initiative to type a line of words: [Ask you a question.]
Dirt King: [Speak.]
Lin Yan glanced at Chen Chu quietly: [If someone makes you angry, how do you want the other person to apologize before you forgive him?]
Dirty King: [If someone makes me angry, there is no need to apologize.]
No need to apologize? When did this guy, the King of Dirty, become so magnanimous
The Dirty King: [I will curse him.]
Lin: [You are so cruel!!]
I can only say that he is worthy of being a curse master.
King of Dirt: [Although a certain TV series is very stupid, there is a line that makes a lot of sense: If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? I don’t even need the police, I can solve it myself.]
Lin: [Goodbye!]
Lin Xi decisively closed the chat window with Wu Wang, thinking that she would be cursed by Wu Wang if she looked at him any longer.
“Beep!”
Another message came in. Lin Yan clicked it and found that the person who sent her the message was Bao Ya.
Bao Ya: [Lin Yan, where have you been during this period? I can’t get through to you even when I call you.]
She left in such a hurry this time and did not ask for leave from the secret room. Lin Xi guessed that the manager must be looking for her.
Lin Yan: [I was on a business trip, I was abroad, and I lost my phone.]
Bao Ya: [You went abroad, no wonder, but you didn’t tell the store manager, he almost called the police.]
Lin Yan: [Sorry, sorry, this happened suddenly. I will be back tomorrow. Please tell the store manager that I will go to the secret room to help with divination as soon as I return.]
Bao Ya: [Okay, I'm glad you're okay. I'll tell the store manager later.]
Lin Yan thought for a moment and typed: [Sister Xiaoya, if you make your friend angry, how should you apologize appropriately?]
Bao Ya: [Male or female?]
Lin: [Male.]
Bao Ya: [To coax a man!]
When Lin Xi saw those three words, she was so scared that she almost jumped up from the sofa.
Chen Chu, who was always paying attention to Lin Yan, looked over immediately: "What's wrong?"
"I... I want to eat cake." Lin Yan made up an excuse.
"I'll get it." Chen Chu stood up and went to the dining table again.
Lin Yan sat back on the sofa, lowered her head and rapped: [It's not the kind of relationship you think, we are just ordinary colleagues.]
Bao Ya was nonchalant and extremely confident: [No matter what kind of relationship you have, as long as you are a man, the same trick will work for you.]
Lin: [Which trick?]
Bao Ya: [Acting like a spoiled child.]
Lin: [!!!]
Lin Yan glanced at Chen Chu, who was walking back with the plate in hand, and quickly typed a few words: [How to act like a spoiled child?]
Bao Ya: [Simple, speaks softly, in a coquettish voice, pretends to be pitiful, and seeks comfort.]
Lin Yan was stunned: [Isn’t this a green tea skill?]
Bao Ya: [Why do you think men like green tea?]
Lin Xi seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Chen Chu came back and put the plate with cake in front of Lin Yan: "Eat it."
"I don't want to eat again." Lin Xi said suddenly.
Chen Chu looked at Lin Xi in surprise.
Lin Yan pretended to be pitiful: "I feel bad."
Chen Chu really got nervous: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Yan: "I feel uncomfortable all over."
Chen Chu's face changed: "Is there an epidemic?"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lin Xi's left hand, staring at the circle of blue-black lines on her wrist.
Just half an hour ago, Lin Xi had taken back the plague virus from the dying Mia in front of him, under the cover of the Y Country's supernatural organization. The plague virus passed through Lin Xi's palm and finally gathered on this circle of blue-black lines. At that moment, he seemed to witness the scene after they came out of the Miao village, when Lin Xi transferred the plague virus from his body to herself bit by bit.
Also, was it true that Lin Yan was hit by a coconut when she fainted under a coconut tree? Could it also be due to the virus
Lin Yan: "No, no, I have sealed the plague. It's okay."
"Let's go to the hospital." Chen Chu pulled Lin Yan and went to the hospital.
“No, I… I…” Lin Yan was anxious and simply hugged Chen Chu’s arm, “Senior, can you please stop being angry? When you’re angry, I can’t eat cake. I can only eat vegetarian food, and now I can’t even eat cake. It’s so pitiful.”
Is this considered pretending to be pitiful? Lin Yan secretly looked at Chen Chu's expression.
Chen Chu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long while, with no obvious change in his expression.
It doesn't work. Is it because my voice isn't cute enough, or is it because my pity isn't genuine enough
Chen Chu: "I'm not angry with you."
Lin Xi was shocked.
Chen Chu's tone was full of self-blame: "I am angry at myself. This plague originated from me..."
If Lin Xi had not saved him at that time, the plague would still be in the Miao village, Lin Xi could have returned to Earth by herself, and even Sadako would not have gone into hibernation due to energy loss.
He is originally a spirit in the subspace, and dying in it may be his best destination.
"You misunderstood!" Lin Xi finally understood the crux of the matter.
Misunderstanding? Chen Chu looked at Lin Yan in confusion.
"Do you think I transferred the plague to myself in order to save you? Wrong, absolutely wrong! In fact, the plague can't do anything to you. Even if I don't transfer the plague, the plague in your body will be suppressed by the mark of the saint on your leg." Lin Xi said.
On the leg? Chen Chu looked down at his calf, his expression slightly changed: "Mark of the Saint?"
"Yes, it's the small leaf on your leg. When you were cursed by the high priest before, it was that small leaf that helped you resolve the curse." Lin Xi said seriously, "So even if I don't help seal the plague, the plague will eventually be suppressed by that small leaf. The reason why I want to seal the plague on myself is because I need the plague."
"You need a plague?" Chen Chu's eyes were full of disbelief. Who in this world would need such a thing
"Really, I'm not lying to you. In fact, you have more or less discovered that my ability is a bit strange. To be honest, the geomagnetic map was not thrown into the space turbulence by me, but absorbed by me." Lin Yan tried to make up the function of the system as reasonably as possible. "My ability is similar to an exchange. In simple terms, the more I absorb, the more props I get. I absorbed the plague in order to exchange props."
"That's why you have so many props." If someone else said this, Chen Chu would definitely not believe it, but he had witnessed the strangeness of Lin Yan with his own eyes, "So what you got from absorbing the earth vein map is the 'Signature Paper of Stealing God'?"
"Yes!" Lin Yan nodded decisively.
Although the "Signature Paper of the Stealing God" is far from being equivalent to the geomagnetic map, she can infer that the geomagnetic map is blank and does not contain much energy, so it has been severely depreciated.
"No wonder the 'Signature Paper of Stealing God' is so powerful. It can actually steal other people's superpowers directly." Chen Chu suddenly realized.
"What did you say?! Superpower? Isn't it an S-level item?" After Lin Yan was hit by a car, Chen Chu entered a state of depression, so she didn't dare to ask Chen Chu what he stole from Mia. And she subconsciously thought that what Chen Chu stole must be the S-level replacement item.
Chen Chu took out the plain ring from his pocket: "What I stole was the other party's spatial ability. After the other party lost his spatial ability, his own space collapsed and the props fell out."
Lin Yan took the ring quickly and said, "Is this the item that has the ability to replace the supernatural power? So, not only did you steal the supernatural power, you also got the item."
Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."
Lin Yan was not in a hurry to check the function of the props. She was more curious about the superpowers: "Superpowers can be stolen? Then can you use the superpowers you stole?"
Chen Chu: “Yes.”
The reason why Chen Chu said that the "Signature Paper of Stealing God" was powerful was not only because the signature paper could steal other people's superpowers, but also because the moment he stole the superpowers, he learned how to use them. It was as if he stole not only other people's superpowers, but also other people's perceptions of superpowers and how to use them.
Lin Yan was surprised and asked: "So you now have space-related abilities. What level is it? Is there an S-level one?"
It was only at this time that Chen Chu smiled slightly: "More than that."
"More than that?" Lin Yan was puzzled. Isn't Mia's ability only S-level? Can stealing things be upgraded
Chen Chu: "'Stealing God's Signature Paper' steals superpowers, not superpowers of fixed levels. My level has surpassed S-level, so my spatial superpower has also surpassed S-level."
Lin Xi's eyes widened little by little: "You mean, if an A-level psychic steals, then the ability is A-level, and if a B-level psychic steals, the ability is B-level? You surpassed the S-level, so this ability has been upgraded in you."
Chen Chu: “That’s right!”
Lin Yan: “I’ll go!”
This is really powerful! It turns out that this is the correct way to open the "Stealing God's Signature Paper".
"System, you are so generous this time. You gave me 12 such powerful props at once!" This is no longer the system she knew.
"It just happened to trigger the 100% success rate." According to the success rate of the signature paper, it will only succeed once in ten times.
The 100% success rate is only triggered when stealing items that do not originally belong to the other party, so... Could it be that Mia's spatial ability was not originally hers
"Mia's spatial ability is not her own?" Lin Wei asked immediately.
The system remained silent and ignored Lin Yan. However, the silence of the system made Lin Yan more resolute in her guess. If her guess was wrong, the system would definitely ridicule her according to its settings.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Chu asked when he saw Lin Xi was in a daze again.
"I wonder if Mia's spatial ability was also stolen?" Lin Xi expressed her guess.
Chen Chu subconsciously wanted to deny it, because superpowers must be awakened by the superpower holder himself, but when he thought about how he had just stolen someone else's superpowers, he couldn't help but think deeply: "It's not impossible. Magical superpowers are all kinds of strange. If you can have this kind of prop, then others may also have similar ones. And..."
"And what?" Lin asked.
"The supernatural power of the Blue Flame Master has always been a mystery. Some people say that he is a necromancer, because Blue Flame has the most necromancers, but some people say that he has water-related supernatural powers, because some people have seen him create tsunamis. Others say that he is a sorcerer, and every member of the Blue Flame has a sorcerer in their body..." Chen Chu said, "But perhaps, he may just be good at stealing."
"Are you saying that his supernatural powers were stolen from somewhere else?" Lin Wei asked.
"Well, this can explain why he can master so many superpowers at the same time, and why a terrorist organization that has only been rising for more than ten years can have so many S-level superpowers." Chen Chu's thoughts gradually became clear, "If this guess is true, the master of Blue Flame's stealing is more powerful than the 'Signature Paper of Stealing God', and he can even steal unlimited times."
Although the "Signature Paper of Stealing God" is powerful, it is disposable and will disappear after use.
"Then could it be that Dracula's puppet master ability was also stolen?" Lin Yan suddenly thought of Dracula, "Didn't you say that it's difficult for vampires to awaken a second time? He is also a Blue Flame man."
"That's possible." If the above inference is correct, Dracula's supernatural power is indeed likely to have been stolen by the Master of Blue Flame and bestowed upon his subordinates.
"Then let's go steal." Lin Xi suddenly became excited.
"steal?"
"Yeah." Lin Xi quickly took out another "Signature Paper of the Stealing God" from the inventory.
"You still have more?" Lin Xi actually still has such a powerful prop.
"I have more than a dozen." She is very rich now.
"!!" Chen Chu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is this what you asked me to smoke in the car before?"
“That’s right!”
Then there are 11 pictures left. Chen Chu calculated quickly and could only say that it was worthy of being a geomantic map. One picture could exchange for 12 kinds of superpowers.
"Although the puppet master's ability is strange, it may not be suitable for you. I think..."
"Yes, the puppeteer is the most suitable for me. With him, I can turn into a puppet when I get into a car accident in the future." If she turns into a puppet, she will have no sense of pain and can be hit by a car at any time. Is there any ability that is more suitable for her than this
Chen Chu understood, his expression changed immediately, and he pulled Lin Yan out: "Let's go."
