Chapter 136 The Madman

It's no secret within the UN that Mary Shelley was actually an android created by Percy Shelley during his time at the Joint Research Institute.

Rather, Shelley was one of the reasons for the formation of the UN.

At the time, Christy was assigned by the Clock Tower Attendants to search for the vanished "White Storm" (referring to Shelley); while Verne, who had previously stolen the submarine and fled, heard the news of the disappearance (physical) of the Joint Research Institute and took Defoe, whom he had just picked up, to the only clue, Percy's android—that is, Shelley; Romain Rolland was hired to gather information about this matter.

The most amazing thing is that the three of them found the "White Storm" almost at the same time.

It was there that the founding trio of the UN met for the first time... Although the situation was tense, they still managed to meet successfully, which was quite epic.

—The above is a paraphrase relayed by Defoe, the only person present besides the founding trio, and is for reference only.

Then, in order to settle Mary Shelley down, Verne and Romain Rolland contacted Stevenson, a colleague at the Joint Institute, and Vladimir, a notorious Russian fugitive.

The rest joined later, piecemeal. But it can be said that the UN's initial form was entirely built around Shelley. It's just that later, a group of like-minded people developed into an adventure group.

All this talk is just to say one thing: there's a reason Barry fled at high speed at this point.

When Barry noticed Shelley's unusual behavior, he grabbed Exupéry without hesitation and started running like crazy. His burst of speed far exceeded fifty kilometers per hour, and he sprinted a hundred meters in just a few seconds.

And as he sprinted, Barry, with unusually steady hands, pulled a communicator from his pocket: "Christie! Shelley's gone berserk again!"

"And what's more! This time, he's directly become a god!"

Zhou, who remained where he was, didn't know what Shelley's true form was. His understanding of Shelley only extended to the "White Storm," and he knew that a berserk Shelley was quite terrifying. But he wasn't very clear about the specifics.

Shelley's heartbeat began to accelerate, and her previously dormant body began to awaken, from twenty minutes to fifteen minutes, ten minutes, five minutes, one minute, 30 seconds, one second, and even half a second or one-tenth of a second.

The part of Shelley's body that acts as blood begins to flow wildly, pumping the activating factors to every corner of her body.

Now, Shelley's body, which has stood up again, is gradually beginning to "grow," and her juvenile form is gradually approaching maturity. This time, she doesn't even need an additional power source; Shelley's activated cells can already generate dazzling electric currents that flow through the air.

Shelley's two steel nails in her head were pushed outward by flesh and regenerating skull, causing the two nails that pierced her brain to move outward continuously, making them appear increasingly grotesque.

Zhou Shuren clicked his tongue in surprise: "This is a bit scary."

Xu Zhimo stopped next to Zhou Shuren, equally surprised: "So, Brother Zhou, what is this thing!?"

"I don't know, but it's obvious that letting her continue like this will be very bad." Brother Zhou rolled up his sleeves and picked up the diary he had just taken back. "And judging from her attitude, she's definitely a troublemaker."

Xu Zhimo was taken aback by Zhou Ge's actions: "Zhou Ge, are you... going to unleash your ultimate move?"

Zhou Shuren nodded.

Xu Zhimo's face immediately turned pale, and he sped away to a position more than 100 meters behind Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren reached out and opened his diary. The pages of the diary bloomed like flowers, then turned over and enveloped Zhou Shuren's hand before gradually disappearing. Only the words remained on Zhou Shuren's hand, and they seemed to be alive as they kept turning over.

When the writing flowed across Zhou Ge's face and even appeared on his face, he looked once again at Mary Shelley, who was gradually floating in mid-air.

Zhou Shuren's supernatural ability, "Diary of a Madman," allows him to acquire the supernatural abilities of other supernatural beings with their permission.

Among them are supernatural abilities such as "Zha" given to him by his childhood playmates, as well as supernatural abilities such as "Nahan" and "Wandering" that were specially customized after he joined the academy.

Brother Zhou can set a release command, or security lock, for each of his superpowers. The superpower will only be released when the password is correct.

But if you were to ask which superpower is the most unique among all superpowers, everyone who knows about it would unanimously think of that one.

Shelley floated in mid-air as if oblivious to her surroundings, with only the violent electric current destroying everything around her. At this moment, Brother Zhou slowly walked closer to Shelley, while simultaneously making a loose right fist in mid-air.

A circular shadow appeared on the ground directly below Shelley, as if some huge object was blocking the sunlight's projection, or as if a huge object was about to emerge.

Zhou Shuren looked at Shelley in mid-air, his right hand gradually clenching, and he murmured words of certainty.

"The gluttons fought over the food, leaving no trace of their remains."

As Brother Zhou clenched his fist, the dark shadow on the ground suddenly leaped out of the ground like a gluttonous beast with ferocious teeth.

Shelley, enveloped in lightning, realized what was happening but had no time to dodge and was swallowed whole by the giant mouth.

The next second, as Brother Zhou clenched his fist, his ferocious mouth also closed tightly.

The tearing sound was the groan of flesh being ripped apart.

The snapping sound is the agonizing cry of bones being dislocated by brute force.

From the gaping maw came the chilling sounds of chewing and swallowing.

Zhou Shuren softly uttered the name of this supernatural ability: "[Cannibalistic Feast]"

Wan Jiabao couldn't help but shudder as he looked at the gaping, menacing maw.

Zhu Ziqing, who hadn't had much to do since Shelley gained resistance to supernatural abilities in the latter half of the story, patted Wan Jiabao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's just a sound; she didn't actually eat it."

“I know, it just ‘dissolved’ directly.” Wan Jiabao rubbed his shoulders. “But this sound is still so frightening no matter how many times I hear it.”

Zhu Ziqing nodded in understanding: "That is indeed very frightening."

Wan Jiabao shuddered as he looked at the black entity and whispered to Zhu Ziqing, "It was swallowed whole by the [Cannibal Feast], it should be dead, right?"

In his memory, there were very few people who could withstand Zhou Shuren's "Cannibalistic Feast" and survive. Aside from the ineffective abilities, each of them was inhumanly powerful.

Therefore, he sincerely hoped that Shelley could be killed by this move. Otherwise, it would mean they would have to fight a superhuman with abilities far beyond their level.

"It might not work." Zhu Ziqing squinted at the battlefield, the giant maw of the Taotie slowly opened, revealing the scene inside. "It seems they're not dead."

The black maw disappeared, and Mary Shelley still stood inside, surrounded by a barrier of lightning. Her body was covered in blood and deep, bone-revealing cuts and bite marks, yet she regenerated and recovered in the blink of an eye.

He twisted all the bones in his body to put all the misplaced bone fragments back in their original positions, and with a "crack" sound, all of His bones were completely restored.

Wan Jiabao's expression gradually froze, while Zhou Shuren gradually revealed a wanton smile.

Beneath his refined exterior, the soul of a madman resurfaced once more.
