Chapter 31 It was like simply falling asleep.
After dealing with the mutant creature, Jiang Jie was in a good mood.
With this B-grade crystal, Lin Mian’s supernatural power will probably be greatly improved.
He went back playing with the crystal in his hand, but before he got close, he noticed movement in the RV and there were other outsiders.
Is someone courting death? He put away the crystal and quickened his pace. He wanted to see what kind of person had such courage.
From a distance, he saw a man and a woman standing by the car, hugging each other under the window, and Lin Mian's figure was visible through the window.
He walked forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The brother and sister turned around at the same time, one looked stunned and a little wary, while the other's eyes lit up and he spoke directly.
"Hello handsome!"
Jiang Yan looked them up and down several times, focusing on the dagger on the woman's waist, and then looked at the man who was more defensive.
When his gaze swept over him, Liang Qun felt a chill all over his body, as if he was seen through at once. He was a little nervous and grabbed his sister who was trying to come over to talk to him.
This person is not to be trifled with, he seems very dangerous.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Liang Nan, who was being held, didn't understand his brother's good intentions at all and even struggled.
Liang Yun ignored her and just pulled her to where she was. He pushed his glasses and said, "Sorry, we were just passing by. We don't have any bad intentions."
Jiang Jie's eyes moved between the two of them again. Without saying a word, he went straight to the car door, and the person inside opened the door for him.
Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming back in the car. He didn't expect to meet other people on such a desolate roadside.
Although the two people seem to be very friendly, the human heart is unpredictable and this kindness may not be just a facade.
After Jiang Jie got in the car, he didn't care whether the two men could hear him or not, and asked directly: "How is it? Are they causing any trouble?"
Not really, Lin Mian shook his head. Although he was a little too familiar, he did not show any malice.
I just don't know if it's a disguise or he's really innocent.
Jiang Jie then turned around and looked outside the car again.
Having been treated coldly by him just now, even someone as slow-witted as Liang Nan could sense that the other party did have a bad temper. Moreover, being looked at by him like that made him inexplicably a little frightened.
This thought flashed through her mind, and she cursed herself in her heart. She was not even afraid of the mutants, so why was she afraid of a person now!
Jiang Jie walked to the car door and leaned against the wall. He withdrew his sharp aura and looked a little lazy. "Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly."
It seemed that his hostility was not as strong as before. Liang Qun breathed a sigh of relief. "It's our problem. We shouldn't have approached so easily."
He was quite a good person. Jiang Yan looked at him leisurely for a few times, then glanced at the woman who was about to speak, "Are you, a mutant?"
Liang Nan was stunned. She didn't expect that he could see through her. They had only met and exchanged a few words. She hesitated and asked tentatively, "You too?"
It seems that it is true, Jiang Jie raised his lips.
The man looked quite thin, not like a martial artist. The woman's exposed arms had muscular lines, and her legs looked strong. Her lower body looked very stable, so she must have trained.
But this alone is not enough for them to run around outside. If they dare to talk to other people rashly, they must have other more reliable supports.
So, it’s easy to guess.
Jiang Jie didn't answer her question, but stood up straight and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, he closed the car door.
The two people under the car looked at each other.
Liang Nan rarely felt speechless from others. "Brother, this is the first time I've met someone with more personality than me."
What personality? Do stupid people have personality? Liang Qun pushed his glasses helplessly, "Nannan, I really advise you again, don't go up to everyone you meet and make friends with them. Now is not the past."
Being nagging him again, Liang Nan raised his hand and touched his nose, "Oh, I know. I just saw that little... no, that boy was skinny and weak, so I was worried that he would be in danger. I promise I won't do it next time."
Liang Qun sighed again. He knew his sister very well. She was outgoing, warm-hearted, and had a strong sense of justice. This might not have been a problem in the past. It was an excellent quality. Anyway, she was good at fighting and could not suffer any loss.
But it’s not possible now. Troubled times are the greatest test of human nature. Who knows what kind of monsters we will face.
The only good thing is that she still listens to me. Most of the time I can persuade her and she can restrain herself when she shouldn't be reckless.
"But brother, that man is really good..." How unkind, Liang Nan started to say, but suddenly swallowed the second half of the sentence and glanced at the RV with the closed door.
She stopped talking halfway through, and Liang Qun looked at her in confusion.
"Let's go back to the car first." Liang Nan pulled his arm.
She just suddenly remembered that as a person with superpowers, her hearing was better than that of ordinary people, so the other party must be too. Although the other party did not admit it, she did not believe that he was not so arrogant since he was so arrogant.
So what's the difference between saying it here and in front of others?
There was the sound of a car starting outside, and soon, it drove away from them.
He left very decisively, and it seemed that he really had no evil intentions.
Jiang Jie withdrew his gaze from the window and handed the crystal he was playing with to the little rabbit, who breathed a sigh of relief. "After dinner, absorb this."
Lin Mian reached out to take it and looked at it in front of his eyes.
Compared to the crystals he usually absorbed, this crystal had a faint colorful light and was no longer so pure white. It looked different. "It seemed to be different from the previous crystals."
"Yeah," Jiang Yan nodded. He didn't mention C-level or B-level. The official hasn't yet classified these crystals. He just said, "The mutant I went to deal with seems to have evolved. It's stronger than the previous ones."
Lin Mian looked up upon hearing this, his eyes wandering over him, "Are you injured?"
This was the focus of his attention, which pleased Jiang Yan. He reached out and pinched the other person's face, "No."
The miserable one was that unfortunate mutant, which had only recently evolved completely and had just happened to be killed by him.
Lin Mian was relieved and turned his attention to the other message he said, "Brother Jie, will those things become even more powerful?"
"It seems so now," Jiang Jie withdrew his hand and leaned back on the table beside him. "Humans' superpowers can be enhanced, so it's not surprising that the mutants can evolve again."
That's true, Lin Mian lowered his eyes, but he was worried that if these things continued to evolve endlessly and humans could no longer cope with them, would the world still exist?
Seeing his worried frown, Jiang Yan poked his finger at him and said, "Don't think about things you shouldn't be thinking about. The noodles are almost cooked."
Noodles? Lin Mian was startled and quickly turned to look at the pot. Fortunately, it was not overcooked.
He turned off the fire and took a bowl to serve.
The two of them had a relatively peaceful lunch.
Thinking about the crystal, Lin Mian ate faster than usual this time.
After I cleaned up the dishes and sat on the sofa to pick up the crystal, I felt a little inexplicably nervous for some reason.
Jiang Jie sat across from him, arms folded, and said, "Absorb slowly, don't be too anxious."
Compared to C-grade crystals, B-grade sounds only one level higher, but the special energy contained within is incomparable. It is not a simple matter of one being equal to two.
It can be said that only crystals above grade B can be truly called energy stones for psychics, and those common grade C stones are only of some use in the initial stage of psychic powers.
If he continued to absorb the energy as quickly as before, the impact of the strange energy might damage his body.
Lin Mian is a person who listens to advice very much. After closing his eyes, he absorbed the strange energy very carefully.
He looks quite calm, so there shouldn't be any problems at the moment.
Jiang Jie was about to stand up and get a bottle of water.
But just as he moved his body, the person opposite him suddenly frowned and his body trembled.
Jiang Jie immediately stopped moving, leaned forward, and paid attention to the changes in his expression.
Lin Mian's brows were tightly knitted together, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Soon, sweat appeared on his forehead, wetting his hair.
He clenched his hand around the crystal tightly, and with the vision of a psychic, he could see strands of supernatural energy entering his body.
Jiang Yan stared at him closely and did not interrupt him rashly.
As time went by, Lin Mian's face became paler and paler, his collar was wet with sweat, and his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
Jiang Jie also frowned unconsciously. Is it too early for him to absorb the B-level crystal now?
That shouldn't be the case. C-grade crystals no longer have much effect on him. Logically speaking, although absorbing B-grade crystals will have an impact on him, it shouldn't be so painful.
While he was thinking, he saw the other person's tense body suddenly soften and fall to the side weakly.
Jiang Jie quickly stood up and stepped forward to catch his body.
I put my palm to my forehead, and there was no heat, just the damp chill from sweating.
He shook the other person and asked, "Lin Mian?"
The unconscious person had his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.
Jiang Jie fell into deep thought. This feeling of being out of control made him unhappy.
Thinking back to my previous life, every time I absorbed higher-level crystals for the first time, although I felt uncomfortable, it was not to the point of fainting.
As for other people, he didn't care much about them, so he didn't know the details.
Maybe it depends on the person?
Everyone has a different physique and awakened abilities, so it's normal to have different physical manifestations.
He lowered his eyes to look at Lin Mian who was leaning on him. The other person did not look uncomfortable at all, as if he was simply asleep.
Jiang Jie brushed aside his slightly wet hair, bent down, picked him up, walked to the back of the car and put him on the bed.
His hand holding the crystal fell to his side, his fingers loosened, and the crystal turned into gray stone.
Jiang Jie reached out and picked it up. It seemed that all the energy was absorbed.
He threw it aside and pulled a thin blanket over the man.
