Chapter 488 Weird Waves
Huh~
Looking at the terrifying giant corpse floating in the air, Lin Xian's eyes flashed slightly and he took a long breath.
This was not the first time this had happened. When KIKI's ability evolved for the first time, he had seen this horrific scene in KIKI's mental time. At this time, Lin Xian was already extremely certain that the towering mummy like a mountain in the night sky was definitely the monster in the altocumulus cloud in Jiangcheng, and KIKI was there in a helicopter at that time.
"Could this thing be a creature with supernatural powers that is the same as KIKI's enemy?"
Lin Xian now thought of this guess at the first moment.
Creature No. 2: Unidentified giant sky corpse.
The Phoenix Society's Fire Book intelligence described this creature as follows. Chu Yan also led a team to investigate, and the effective clue they obtained was that this creature could not be approached, as if there was some kind of very terrifying biological force field. But also, in the Phoenix Society's observation report, this creature, which was defined as a world-class disaster, except for floating and moving, has remained in a mysterious state of not waking up, just like a real humanoid corpse.
Lin Xian was carefully observing the outline of the frightening creature. A terrifying dark energy wave radiated from the sky. At this time, he looked around and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.
KIKI.
She was sitting on the edge of the outer wall of a tall building, wearing the same coat that Lin Xian had worn when he rescued her in Jiangcheng. Her long lavender hair fluttered in the wind, and her back looked a little lonely.
Lin Xian's expression slowed down, and he walked over and sat next to her.
"What are you looking at?"
KIKI glanced at him sideways and pointed upwards: "You should have seen it."
“It’s hard not to see…”
"This was the rooftop where I fell from the helicopter that night. When I woke up and looked up, I saw this scene." Kiki turned to look at Lin Xian and pointed in a distant direction: "Look, your house is in that direction. I remember the flag you waved."
Lin Xian nodded and glanced around: "So I'm in your spiritual world again. Are you in any trouble?"
"It's a very strange feeling, Lin Xian." Kiki said, "That thing seems to be... talking to me, but I can't understand a word."
"dialogue?"
"Um."
KIKI raised her legs, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head between her legs, and whispered, "What if there really is some kind of connection between me and this monster? Lin Xian, this isn't the first time this has happened to me."
Lin Xian was silent for a moment. He wanted to say something comforting, but he knew it would be of no use to KIKI. She was very smart and also didn't like Lin Xian being perfunctory with her.
"What else can I do? I have to kill this monster. Even if I can't do it now, there will always be a way later. After all, it will be a fight to the death in the end..."
After saying that, Lin Xian said calmly: "If the link really exists, after killing this monster, you will only lose your superpowers, so there is no need to worry too much."
"But I don't want to lose my powers..."
KIKI raised her head and looked at Lin Xian seriously: "I want to help you."
Lin Xian was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Along the way, thanks to KIKI's presence, they successfully survived countless life-and-death situations. Lin Xian has long been accustomed to having KIKI as a helper. Perhaps to him, KIKI is no longer just a helper.
From the beginning, she pretended to be unconscious to get on the car, and was caught by Lin Xian while eating bread. Then, the two of them worked together to kill the red centipede, rushed out of the foggy town, and flew over the broken bridge...
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xian could only say casually, "When we have resolved all world-class disasters, it means that the end of the world may be far behind us." He looked at KIKI and said, "Or, if we all fail and humanity becomes extinct, then there is nothing to worry about."
KIKI looked at Lin Xian calmly, then raised the corners of her lips slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, and said to him with a bit of cunning
"Is there no third possibility, such as us escaping from Blue Planet?"
Lin Xian nodded: "That's right."
"That way, I can always fly~"
Lin Xian smiled, then took a deep breath and looked into the darkness: "Perhaps we will have a third option."
"Lin Xian." KIKI called him.
"Um"
"Promise me one thing."
"Speak~"
"Just suppose, if one day, we, the superpowers, do something bad because of this connection, or..." She paused and pursed her lips: "If it is necessary... well!"
Lin Xian pinched her lips like a duck's mouth and said cheerfully, "You're overthinking it. If killing all the psychics can solve all the problems, then either the Dark Civilization is too stupid, or we are too stupid. You just play too many video games."
"That's not what I meant!!" Kiki stood up angrily, wanting to argue with Lin Xian: "Maybe we can counterattack. Do you understand counterattack?"
"Look, that guy seems to be trying to communicate something with me. Do you think we should look into it?"
"I'll tell Director Ding, and once we contact the Phoenix Order, I'll discuss this with Professor Ye." Lin Xian looked at KIKI with concern and grabbed one of her hands. "Your mental strength is draining. You need to find a way to wake up quickly. Teacher Chen and the others are very worried about you."
KIKI met Lin Xian's gaze, nodded after a while, and took a long breath.
"I can clearly sense its presence and its trajectory now. We fled all the way from Jiang City, and this guy's movement path seems to be the same as ours. So, I think it might be tracking me. We didn't discover that dark energy connection before, and now it seems that it may be something more terrifying than the Dark Mark."
Lin Xian frowned: "So you think that the common origin of our enemies might lead to more crises among the superpowers?"
KIKI immediately responded, "Don't you think we've encountered far more situations along the way than other teams? You've rarely rested during this journey, and the number of peaceful nights you've had can be counted on one hand. Even Shuqin mentioned that although our Infinity is safe, they hadn't encountered our frequent crisis attacks before boarding. The more psychics we have on board, the more obvious this situation becomes!"
Lin Xian was slightly startled, his heart suddenly sinking. Ever since the dark mark was discovered, he naturally thought that this was the main reason. But if he really thought about it, the situation encountered by their Infinite Team was something that most teams would have experienced countless times. Even Longshan No. 1 and Silver Star at that time might not have been spared. Now that KIKI said this, he suddenly had different thoughts.
The giant floating corpse has been chasing them?
Is the dark side connection of the superpowers exacerbating their critical situation?
Lin Xian thought about it for a while, his mind in a mess, then looked at KIKI: "So you concluded that people with special abilities will bring bad luck?"
"Even using Director Ding's theory, this makes sense." KIKI responded directly: "Use the Soul-Draining Value."
"I understand."
"So what are you going to do?" asked KIKI.
Lin Xian looked at KIKI seriously and said, "Let's eat first. I'm very curious about how your ability has evolved."
"Hey~" KIKI snorted and looked at Lin Xian angrily: "Is that all you think about?"
"What else?" Lin Xian rolled his eyes, responding with a puzzled expression, "Psychics can bring more danger. Whether it's because of this connection or because of predation by the Soul-Dangling Value, we can accept it. We can't just abandon all psychics because of this. Will Xingyuan just 'surrender and not kill' us?"
KIKI opened his mouth, then his face darkened, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, then said in a soft voice
"I'm different from other psychics. I'm linked to this monster, and I've brought you to a desperate situation where you're almost certain to die. Don't you... blame me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian stepped forward and took her into his arms, saying bluntly
"You're overthinking it. Let's not talk about whether this speculation has been confirmed. Even if it's true, whether you brought it here is another matter. You're not the only powerful esper on our train. There are fire esper, laser esper, sonic esper, super speed esper, and Ryunosuke, who's just as rare as you. Shiori's esper still doesn't have an accurate positioning system. And... don't you take a mechanical esper like me seriously? It seems like I'm the biggest threat to the dark civilization."
After hearing Lin Xian's words, KIKI was silent for a while, then she leaned on Lin Xian's arms and her shoulders began to tremble inexplicably. Suddenly she laughed and said
"Yes, you can devour starships and build mechas. Maybe you're connected to the alien invaders' mothership, and if they kill you, their mothership will explode~"
"Don't say that, this is really possible."
"Go to hell!" KIKI punched Lin Xian in the chest. Although in this spiritual world, Lin Xian could not feel anything, including the embrace between the two.
But at this moment Lin Xian inexplicably felt that he seemed to be able to feel KIKI in his arms gradually getting warmer, so he hugged her even tighter.
Then, Lin Xian opened his eyes and saw the cold white light in the hibernation cabin hall. Several blurry figures began to become clearer. Chen Sixuan, Ding Junyi, Sasha, Luo Yang, Abai, and Shizhi were all gathered around KIKI's hibernation cabin.
"Heart rate and breathing are normal..."
"Shiori, how are you?"
"Her mental power fluctuations are gradually increasing. This is a good sign."
The voices of several people talking echoed in his ears. Lin Xian looked down and saw that KIKI in the hibernation chamber had closed her eyes, and her face had returned to a soft pink color. The evolution of the crystal lattice had not caused her to change much. After all, apart from the A attribute, KIKI's face and skin were in the perfect state of a young girl. But Lin Xian still felt that KIKI had changed at this moment. To put it bluntly, he felt...
KIKI is glowing.
There was a seemingly faint glow emanating from his entire body, but even the finest hairs on his skin were emitting vitality, inexplicably adding a sense of purity and high spirits to his life.
At this time, KIKI slowly opened her eyes, and her pupils had completely turned into a dark purple color. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if dark purple stars were flowing in her eyes, as if she was wearing colored contact lenses. It complemented her long purple hair and was very mysterious.
"KIKI!"
When Chen Sixuan saw KIKI wake up, she immediately called out.
Chi~
At this moment, the lid of the hibernation cabin slowly opened, and an invisible gentle wave mixed with the chill of the cabin erupted in all directions. KIKI blinked as he lay there, his eyes sweeping over everyone. He immediately removed the lattice evolution device from his chest, stretched himself, and flew up. He twisted his neck and said, "Wow, I've never felt like I've slept for so long."
"Sister KIKI, you have slept for 14 hours, the longest among everyone. I was so worried. How are you now?" Sasha asked hurriedly.
"Everything is OK, great."
KIKI put her hands on her hips, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Lin Xian. She fixed her gaze on him and smiled slightly: "I am the strongest psychic in Infinity. Shouldn't I spend the most time with him?"
"Yes, yes, we have already experienced a big battle while you were sleeping." Lin Xian said helplessly.
"What? A big fight?!" Kiki's eyes widened immediately: "What happened?"
"Sister KIKI, you don't know!" Sasha said seriously, her arms folded across her chest, "When we rushed out of Hawaii, we encountered the spread of scarlet and a huge tsunami. You don't know that Brother Huo made a big splash and split the tsunami in two with just one sword!"
"But we're out of the danger zone now." Lin Xian noticed and immediately looked at Ding Junyi: "Director Ding, how is Kiki doing?"
Ding Junyi was holding a mobile terminal at this time, frowning, and constantly operating some data.
“Very strange…”
"What's wrong?" Hearing Ding Junyi's words, Chen Sixuan hurriedly asked, "Is there any problem?"
"The peak value fluctuates frequently." Ding Junyi looked at Kiki and adjusted her black-framed glasses. "Your peak power has fluctuated several times just now. I've found a relatively reasonable value, 28,000. Without the limit coefficient, you're almost reaching the transcendent level."
"28,000!?" Luo Yang gasped. "Wow, that's so exaggerated! It's more than twice as much as mine!"
Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi at this moment: "What did you mean by a relatively reasonable value?"
"That's right, is there anything else that's unreasonable?" KIKI also came over with a curious look on her face.
Ding Junyi flipped the mobile terminal and pointed at a strange curve that completely broke the test limit of the Dangling value. The peak even caused the Dangling value detector to enter an instrument warning state.
"This scenario is just not plausible and has never been detected in humans."
"What do you mean?" Kiki pointed at her nose and said, "I'm not a human."
"Perhaps the instrument is malfunctioning." Ding Junyi put away her mobile device and put her hands in her pockets. "The Dangling Value detector uses a sampling standard established by the Phoenix Society when testing human bodies. Perhaps your Dangling Value peak caused the instrument to make some incorrect judgments. I've only seen a curve like this once."
Lin Xian looked at her doubtfully, and then Ding Junyi said:
"When we encounter the Great Ocean God!"
