From a young age, he, Chen Xianzun, was a person with sharp thinking.
If it were someone else, they might still be oblivious to the changes in their body.
But Chen Xianzun was different. The moment he felt something abnormal, he already knew the truth—the cancer cells, the most mysterious cells, activated his genetic potential, turning him into a castrated version of Superman.
Although he couldn’t kill the wolf with one blow,
he could survive at least thirty seconds longer than a normal person by relying on his healing ability when tearing each other apart with the wolf.
This is extraordinary power!
Recalling some details from last night, he thought deeply.
Firstly, where did that little girl get the talisman—from what he understood, near the wild wolf’s corpse.
Secondly, the power and effects of the talisman were identical to the mundane Thunderfire Talisman in the game!
Moreover, the mutated wolf had lost its left leg, as if it had been blown up by a landmine.
Connecting these three points made it quite intriguing.
He suspected that while fleeing in panic, he accidentally dropped two talismans, and the mutated wolf stepped on one of them, resulting in the familiar thunderclap. This mutated wolf was actually killed by his talisman.
So, that’s it, the truth is revealed.
Even Conan would have to slide in shock with this deduction!
Therefore, there are currently seven C4 explosives on his coffee table?
Chen Huaian instinctively moved away from the coffee table.
“No, if this thing could explode at will, it would have done so already. Could I be overthinking?”
Although he had told Auntie not to clean the room because a cat was hiding there, she still cleaned the opposite room occasionally and passed by the door, so the talisman must require certain conditions to trigger, including an active method.
How do you use a talisman? That’s right, throw it out!
Excited, Chen Huaian immediately grabbed the talisman from the coffee table, put on his clothes, and left the room.
Not long after he left, the door of Room 419 opened stealthily.
“What a good opportunity! That handsome guy has left!” Lin Lingling peered out, her eyes gleaming. She had been waiting for this moment!
She planned to check Chen Huaian’s room for clues.
Entering through the door was impossible.
So, only the window.
Lin Lingling flipped over from the end of the corridor and landed outside Chen Huaian’s window. It was just past six in the morning, and many people were already out for work. But her movements were quick, and her agile figure landed on Chen Huaian’s window with ease, unnoticed by passersby below.
A yellow paper was also stuck on the window of Room 418.
The intense righteousness seemed to warn her, illegal intruder, death awaits!
Lin Lingling dared not move.
“Is he that vigilant? So he can actually use talismans?”
Peering inside through the window, she found nothing unusual.
If anything, who would plant ordinary grass on the windowsill, and with such colorful soil?
“No, there’s something wrong with this plant!”
Lin Lingling stared intently at the seemingly ordinary grass. After becoming a martial artist, her eyesight far surpassed that of an ordinary person, allowing her to notice details others couldn’t.
On the grass leaves, intricate patterns were carved along the veins.
“Corridors winding back and forth, eaves jutting high… Each clinging to its own terrain, entwining and opposing…” Lin Lingling widened her eyes, even forgetting to breathe.
Such delicate grass leaves actually depicted a hidden cloud palace.
If not for her angle catching the sunlight and her superior vision, it would be impossible to see.
“Did he carve this picture on the grass leaf?”
No, it’s impossible.
She quickly dismissed this idea.
Because there were no carving marks on the grass leaf, every stroke appeared natural, giving a sense of being naturally formed.
It seemed this plant was supposed to grow this way, with such splendid leaves, from its very beginning.
This was definitely not an ordinary plant!
Yet, there was a secret within that she couldn’t discern at her level.
To understand what this plant truly is, it might only be possible to send it to the Demon-Slaying Division.
But even without the yellow talisman on the window, she wouldn’t dare do so.
Firstly, such behavior is unethical. She had already planned to intrude into the room, how could she take things from inside?
Secondly, if this handsome guy is actually a powerful figure, she would at most be disabled and humiliated for looking at his things out of curiosity. But if she took his things, she might be directly crushed and scattered by him.
She hasn’t lived enough yet, nor seen the broader world.
She sensed that one day she would fly in the sky on a flying sword.
So, her leg can be crippled, but her life cannot be lost.
“Since I can’t enter, I’ll look for another chance later.” Afraid that Chen Huaian would return and find her, Lin Lingling prepared to leave.
But at that moment…
“Sss—!”
A low growl filled with killing intent sounded.
Lin Lingling felt a chill down her spine, as if she had fallen into an ice pit.
Her neck felt controlled, slowly twisting to one side, revealing a black cat on the windowsill, its golden eyes fixed on her.
Its gaze was like sizing up a baby mouse.
Was that roar from the black cat?
It sounded like metal grinding against glass shards.
Sharp, brutal, wanting to destroy everything.
The black cat approached gracefully, exuding a regal aura. The sun shifted, casting a huge and grotesque shadow on the wall behind.
Demon!
Seeing that shadow, Lin Lingling’s pupils contracted.
She didn’t know what level this demon was, but its imposing presence immobilized her.
So, does that mean the person usually stays with this demon?
How do they coexist peacefully?
Before she could think further,
the black cat suddenly raised a paw and slammed down with a ‘thud.’
Buzz—
A black ripple spread outward,
like a whip striking Lin Lingling’s body.
She regained control of her body too late, a massive force causing her organs to churn, and her feet slipped, falling off the windowsill.
…
Ba Ji approached the window, maintaining a fist’s distance from the talisman-covered window, and snorted at the girl lying unconscious on the awning.
“Truly tired of living, daring to covet the spiritual plants of a great figure?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t touch her. Otherwise, she must die today!”
Ba Ji was very dissatisfied but could only let it go.
Terrified by the talisman on the flower pot flashing with lightning warnings, it quickly left the window and settled on the sofa.
In the eyes of this enlightened great figure, it was just a cat.
So, it could only play the role of a cat.
Otherwise, if exposed, it would suffer a miserable death.
…
On the other hand, Chen Huaian had arrived at a corner of the square.
He hadn’t gone to the place where the old man practiced before.
First, he needed to test whether the talisman could actually be used.
