Chapter 63 The Hourglass



Just as Qin Tan was about to leave with the survivors, a line of text appeared on the black screen of the computer.

"Qin Tan, I look forward to our meeting."

In the lower right corner, there is a bright red flame that is burning.

This is the mark of people from the past.

After making sure there were no new messages on the computer, Qin Tan got up and left.

Inside the villa, chaos reigned after the fierce battle below.

Who would have thought that Zheng Xiangwen was the ultimate boss, but it turned out that he was just a low-level tool?

It's hard to say whether Zheng Xiangwen and others' experiences were also part of an experiment manipulated by Dr. Ouyang.

Qin Tan found no information about Dr. Ouyang in Li Mingshu's database.

Either the confidentiality is very high, or the other party simply does not exist in the database.

If it is the latter, it means that she has an extremely terrifying and well-hidden enemy.

When Zheng Ning rushed back, he saw Zheng Xiangwen undergoing a transformation.

At this moment, half of Zheng Xiangwen's body was covered by tentacles.

The writhing tentacles greedily devoured the food.

Zheng Ning was on the verge of collapse.

The usually meticulous man lunged at his son, but was stopped by Lin Zhisui.

"Don't touch it."

Those tentacles are extremely aggressive; anything that gets close will become its prey.

The opponent will expand and feed at an insane rate.

Once all the surrounding food has been completely devoured, what awaits the opponent is exhaustion of energy and turning to ashes.

Nobody's betting on what will happen after the other party completes its evolution.

"how so?"

Zheng Ning could not accept it.

But when he learned what his son had done behind his back, he was filled with despair.

"I thought, I thought he wanted to start his own business."

"So I didn't ask where those funds went."

He grabbed his hair, looking repentant.

Qin Tan did not try to comfort the other person.

She coldly watched Zheng Ning's regret, not believing a single word he said.

Such a large enterprise cannot have such a large flow of funds that can be mobilized at will. Without Zheng Ning in charge, Zheng Xiangwen could not have achieved this level of success.

Now that things have come to this, the other party's words might just be an attempt to shirk their own responsibility.

Thinking about it carefully, the other party's avoidance today was also quite subtle.

Qin Tan is not a person who specializes in investigating cases.

What kind of person Zheng Ning really is remains to be seen.

What I can guarantee is that after this, the other party will definitely be on the list of those under strict surveillance by Dawn's Central Bureau.

In the short term, it will be difficult for him to make any more small moves.

Ultimately, Wei Shen and Zheng Xiangwen were imprisoned in a special forbidden object brought by Ye Jingjing.

It is a Class A forbidden item called the "Hourglass of Time".

Its exterior is an hourglass with flowing golden sand.

There is a special space inside the hourglass where time flows a hundred times slower than outside.

The slow flow of time can effectively slow down the changes in Wei Shen and the other person.

But time inside isn't paused; it continues to move slowly forward.

Therefore, if a solution cannot be found before they finally arrive, death awaits both of them.

Why am I alright?

On the way back to Limingshu, Xu Liang was unusually silent, and only asked a question after a long while.

Of the three, he is currently the only one who is unharmed.

"Based on our assessment, the higher the level of an ability, the longer it is used, the more likely it is to mutate."

"Your ability level is not high, and you haven't even triggered that limit yet, since you haven't been fighting for long."

"However, whether this is temporary or permanent, no one can say for sure."

"The abilities you possess are unstable. Even if you never use them again, there is still a possibility that they will mutate."

Lin Zhisui shared their guesses.

"Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak, right?"

Xu Liang gave a wry smile.

His weakness, ironically, became his lucky escape from death.

However, this ability was like a time bomb, bound to him.

There is a risk of it exploding at any time.

"Could you seal my abilities? I remember that some extraordinary individuals had their abilities sealed after they were discovered."

Xu Liang looked expectantly at Lin Zhisui, only to see the other shake his head.

"I'm sorry, that only applies to superhumans who make their own decisions, because their abilities are stable and there is no risk of mutation after overexertion."

“You are an exception, and the only exception in Wangcheng.”

These words made Xu Liang's eyes darken.

"I still don't want this kind of honor."

He murmured.

Perhaps, before long, he will end up like Wei Shen and the other two.

Lin Zhisui was unable to solve Xu Liang's predicament.

After returning to Dawn Hub, Lin Zhi went to report, while Qin Tan washed up in her room.

When she came out, she found several incoming calls on her phone, all from Gu Tingchen.

The other party also sent a video.

The last conversation between the two was not pleasant; the other party has not given up on the idea of ​​becoming a superhuman.

Qin Tan first opened the video.

Once she saw the scene inside clearly, the nonchalant look on her face disappeared.

The video clearly shows her and Lin Zhi fighting alongside Zheng Xiangwen and the other two today.

Even though they were in a basement, the video was exceptionally clear.

Including the disgusting things on their bodies when they underwent the transformation.

Were they being monitored?

Afterwards, Li Mingshu had the basement checked, but no such video was found.

Qin Tan sat on the bed and dialed Gu Tingchen's number.

The other party answered quickly and even switched to a video call.
