"It's very simple. The first method is to modify your memories again, ensuring that you will never remember them in your life. At the same time, we will seal your abilities and make you a normal person again."
"Of course, before we alter your memories, we can tell you everything you want to know, as compensation."
"second……"
Lin Zhisui held up two fingers to Qin Tan.
A strong sense of danger enveloped Qin Tan.
“We will not alter your memories, but you need to come back with us to register, and then wear a special positioning chip for superhumans, and you will be under the surveillance of our Dawn Hub for the rest of your life.”
"You must not use your abilities at will, you must not reveal the existence of the supernatural world to ordinary people, and you must not deliberately come into contact with supernatural events or supernatural beings."
"In this situation, you can learn some things to a limited extent, such as the truth of this world."
Lin Zhisui said these words with a smile.
The other party meant no harm, but Qin Tan felt a chill run through her body.
Choosing the second path means being imprisoned by the other party for life, with no privacy whatsoever—what's the difference between that and being a caged bird?
As for the first point...
After experiencing extraordinary power, would anyone really be willing to give up those abilities?
She looked down and met the golden eyes of the cat in her arms.
The cat remained calm and didn't know where the other person came from.
Meanwhile, the other party seems to be waiting for their own choice, neither interfering nor forcing, like an observer.
Qin Tan dug her fingers into the cat's soft fur and spoke softly.
What if you don't want to choose either path?
Lin Zhisui was not surprised to hear this.
He curled his lips into a charming smile.
"I see. Then the only option is... death."
These words sounded like a tender whisper to a lover, but Qin Tan felt a chilling coldness instead.
"Oh, just kidding."
Amid Qin Tan's wariness, Lin Zhisui shrugged: "We're very democratic."
"Of course there is a third way, but the problem is that you are not qualified to choose this third way yet."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tan pondered for a moment and asked, "How are the extraordinary levels divided?"
"S, A, B, C, D, E, with S-level extraordinary abilities being the highest, decreasing in that order. Forbidden items are also categorized in the same way." Lin Zhisui was very kind, showing a willingness to answer any questions.
But Qin Tan couldn't feel at ease.
What kind of third path is it that even B-level superhumans are not qualified to take?
"Alright, you should make a decision now. We're very busy."
Lin Zhisui's tone remained unchanged, but Qin Tan could detect the impatience in it.
Just as Qin Tan was about to speak, her gaze swept upwards and she saw a black dot falling rapidly from the sky.
A cold and dangerous aura enveloped this place.
Click, click...
That's the sound of the barrier Manny set up breaking.
"Damn it, how did it get here?"
Lin Zhisui's voice became urgent, and the wind rose again, gathering into a tornado that collided with the black dot.
Lin Zhisui, who was exceptionally powerful in Qin Tan's eyes, changed his expression after this attack.
"Captain, it's gotten stronger again."
At that moment, the barrier shattered completely, and the object crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the chaos, Qin Tan managed to make out what the thing looked like.
It was a giant black scythe, about two meters long.
It was pitch black, cold and lusterless, yet its sharpness was undeniable. The shadow it cast on the ground was twisted and enormous, like a monster ready to devour its prey.
The blade was as long as an arm, with strange, snake-like scales growing on its back. The blade curved downwards in a sharp arc, and blood dripped from its tip, the spreading crimson color carrying a chilling aura of bloodlust.
Its shape is very similar to the Grim Reaper's scythe from the movie.
Where the black scythe stood, the ground cracked inch by inch, and endless blood energy rose up, trying to engulf people.
The black scythe hummed, accompanied by someone's shouts of battle.
The delirious roar in Qin Tan's mind caused her a splitting headache.
The moment Qin Tan saw that thing, her breath caught in her throat. Her thoughts instantly plunged into an endless sea of blood, where corpses littered the ground, cries of agony filled the air, and someone wielded a black scythe, slaughtering all living beings.
And she was one of those beings who could not resist.
The sky was tinged with an ominous blood color, the overwhelming red engulfing everything, and the whole world was immersed in slaughter.
Qin Tan stood beneath the blade, ready to be executed.
"Damn, how come this newcomer is so talented!"
As Qin Tan was on the verge of death, Lin Zhisui's voice shattered the illusions and pulled her out of it.
Qin Tan was panting heavily, sweat rolling down his forehead.
The immense power emanating from the Grim Reaper's Scythe nearly destroyed Qin Tan's mental world.
Qin Tan was thrown to the back, and standing next to her was Ye Jingjing, who had healing abilities.
Are you alright?
Ye Jingjing looked ahead with concern.
There, Captain Xia Shuang took over the battlefield. She took a step, and ice began to form on the ground from her starting point.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the chill caused people to retreat, preventing the spread of the black scythe's bloody aura.
"This is the captain's ability, an S-class extraordinary ability [Absolute Zero]." Ye Jingjing's words were filled with admiration.
Ice crystals spread, covering the earth with ice, as if entering a misty and sacred ice and snow world. The overwhelming power made people look up in awe.
What is spirituality?
Qin Tan pursed her lips and asked Ye Jingjing.
“Spirituality, you can understand it as a sixth sense, a sense of crisis, intuition and the like.”
"The higher a person's spirituality, the easier it is for them to sense the presence of extraordinary beings. Similarly, when they encounter extraordinary beings, they are more easily influenced."
"Just like the illusion you just saw, a superhuman with low spirituality wouldn't have the same violent reaction as you."
It was more than just a violent reaction; in a single exchange, he almost died under the black scythe.
This is the reason why Lin Zhisui was amazed.
Logically speaking, the stronger one's spirituality, the stronger the abilities gained upon awakening. Given Qin Tan's level, it should definitely be more than just B-grade.
Hearing Ye Jingjing's question, Qin Tan seemed to be deep in thought.
Are you all S-rank abilities?
If that's the case, it's normal for them to look down on her B-level status.
"No, in our team, only the captain is S-rank. Brother Lin, Uncle Shui, and Sister Manny are all A-rank. I am B-rank, just like you."
Ye Jingjing smiled shyly.
"I was admitted to Dawn's Pivot because my healing abilities are very rare."
Ye Jingjing's words gave Qin Tan an idea about the so-called third path.
She remained silent, watching the battle unfold before her.
That's not a battlefield I can interfere with.
On that battlefield, everyone held their breath and treated the situation with utmost caution.
Ye Jingjing did not explain the origin of the black scythe to Qin Tan.
There, the chill emanating from Xia Shuang was enough to freeze the space.
Frost spread, vying with the scythe of death.
Qin Tan thought the two sides could at least draw, but who knew that the buzzing black scythe would rise from the ground and slash down at Xia Shuang.
The black scythe, possessing its own consciousness, dissipates the chill wherever its blade passes.
It was moving extremely fast, and Qin Tan's eyesight could barely keep up.
