“Very good, bring her here.”
"yes."
The sounds in the darkness slowly faded away, and the room fell silent once more.
Shortly afterward, the door to the room was opened, and a disheveled woman with a terrified expression was brought in.
"Help! Who are you! What do you want! My husband works for the government. If you dare to lay a finger on me, he will make you pay!" the woman screamed in terror.
The long-haired man remained unmoved, instead gazing at her indifferently and slowly saying, "Quiet, your husband is right here."
The woman was startled and quickly looked around, but all she saw was endless darkness, with the only light source coming from above the long-haired man's head.
Looking at the long-haired man's face, half in light and half hidden in darkness, she trembled and asked, "Where is my husband?"
The long-haired man smiled slightly and pointed to the woman's stomach: "It's inside your stomach."
The woman looked down at her slightly protruding belly, as if she had been startled.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean my stomach...?"
Before she could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly reached out from the darkness, tightly pinched the woman's mouth, and poured an unknown green liquid into her mouth.
"Drink up, drink more. This nutrient solution will help your husband grow up quickly." The long-haired man watched all this with great interest.
After the green liquid was poured in, the woman's eyes rolled back, and she convulsed, her body twitching as if she had been electrocuted.
As she convulsed, a terrifying scene unfolded: her belly swelled up at a visible speed, as if it were being inflated like a balloon.
As her belly grew larger, the woman's figure became visibly emaciated, and her once fair and firm skin became covered with wrinkles, as dry as old tree bark.
Her once curvaceous figure quickly withered, as if she had been drained dry.
Finally, the woman's convulsions stopped, and she was completely desiccated into a mummified corpse.
Her stomach ruptured, and a baby covered in blood emerged.
Although it was just born, it can walk and even looks like a two- or three-year-old child.
The long-haired man was slightly surprised by this scene and couldn't help but praise, "Borrowing a seed to be reborn, what a wonderful ability. Ma Xingbang, if it weren't for the fact that your ability to copy can only be copied from the same level or below, I really wanted you to copy my ability. That way, maybe you wouldn't have died, and maybe you could have been brought back to the origin."
Thump!
The bloodied baby knelt on the ground, his face filled with fear: "Captain Yan, it's not that I'm incompetent, but that someone is sabotaging me!"
"Oh?" The long-haired man seemed intrigued. "Tell me about it."
"It's Fang Xiu! The prophet Fang Xiu! He has a great secret. I didn't copy the ability to foresee the future from him at all. Instead, I learned an ability related to pain. I suspect that he can foresee the future, most likely because of a powerful and mysterious artifact."
"A mysterious artifact that can predict the future?" A glint of greed flashed clearly in the long-haired man's eyes.
“Go on.”
"Yes, Captain Yan. We entered the Ghost Realm together and encountered an S-class ghost called Faceless. She can steal other people's faces. Once the face is stolen, the ability will also disappear. Fang Xiu managed to evade the attack by precognizing the future, but my face was stolen. Fortunately, I only lost the ability to copy, but the ability to copy before is still there."
later........"
As Ma Xingbang continued to explain, the strange look in the long-haired man's eyes became increasingly intense.
"You mean he's become like Zhou Qingfeng?"
“That’s right, I saw it with my own eyes. However, I suspect that Fang Xiu is not a member of the Poker Card Organization. Zhou Qingfeng is too good at brainwashing. If Fang Xiu were his subordinate, he wouldn’t have betrayed him and tried to steal the Origin. He must have foreseen everything with his precognitive artifact.”
The long-haired man nodded: "That's right, Fang Xiu couldn't possibly be a member of the Poker Card Organization. I know Zhou Qingfeng's ability to manipulate people's minds; members of the Poker Card Organization wouldn't betray us. I just didn't expect him to follow such a bizarre path, capable of devouring spiritual energy."
He does indeed have a big secret.
The Primal Mask, the mysterious artifact foretelling the future, the eerie mouth that devours spirituality, the prophet Fang Xiu, I'm becoming more and more interested in you.
Oh, by the way.
The long-haired man seemed to remember something and looked at Ma Xingbang again: "Your spirituality was completely devoured by Fang Xiu, right? You lost your ability to plagiarize along with your face?"
Ma Xingbang trembled violently and kowtowed repeatedly: "I'm still useful! Captain Yan! I'm still useful! Just give me time, and I'll soon regain my spirituality. Although I've lost my plagiarism ability, I still have other abilities. As long as I find the Faceless One and reclaim..."
"You have time, but I don't have enough." The long-haired man narrowed his eyes, a chilling light emanating from them.
Suddenly, he stood up from his seat, his body completely exposed to the sunlight.
His other half of his body was covered with countless hideous tumors and tentacles. Even half of his face was gone, a bloody mess, and the flesh was filled with countless black and white eyeballs.
When Ma Xingbang saw the long-haired man's bizarrely distorted half of his body, even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, he was still terrified.
"The strange power within me is spiraling out of control, and I can barely suppress it anymore. I can only maintain human form for an hour each day. Originally, if you had brought back the Original Mask, I could have perfectly transformed into a monster, but you've messed it up. Tell me, do you deserve to die?"
"No, no, no... Spare me! Spare my life, and I'll definitely get it back for you..."
Before Ma Xingbang could finish speaking, countless slippery tentacles surged out of the darkness and dragged him into it.
Click, click...
The sound of chewing could be heard continuously.
After a long pause, the long-haired man commanded into the darkness, "Go kill Fang Xiu and take back everything he owns."
"Captain Yan, is Ma Xingbang's judgment really accurate? Although he is very good at copying, he also has abilities that he cannot copy. What if Yifang Xiu can really foresee the future instead of relying on magical artifacts? Wouldn't it be a pity to kill such a talent?"
The long-haired man said indifferently, "In this world, only strength is the most important. Without strength, you can't change the future even if you see it. But if you have strength, do you still need to look at the future? Your words are the future."
"I understand, but Fang Xiu has already been listed as a key target for observation by headquarters. He is ranked among the top ten in the Spirit Master talent pool and recently solved an S-level strange incident. He will soon be coming to headquarters for training and commendation. If we make a move now, and we expose our true colors, it may be detrimental to your chances of winning the position of head of headquarters."
"You don't need to lift a finger. Contact the Poker Organization and have the member closest to Green Vine City take action. With a physique that can withstand so much strange power, he is definitely the best test subject for the Poker Organization. After Fang Xiu dies, use your ability to quietly take away the Primal and all the strange artifacts on his body."
At that time, no one will know it was us.
"yes!"
