VIP lounge.
Lin Yan, whose face was pale due to the aftermath of the car accident, was like a child who had done something wrong. She huddled on the sofa cautiously and looked at someone's face carefully.
The owner of the scowl, Chen Chu, sat on the sofa next to them with a sullen face, exuding an unhappy and depressed mood. As a result, they had been sitting in the waiting room for nearly half an hour, and no one dared to sit near them.
Lin Xi couldn't sit still any longer, so she held onto the back of the chair and tried to stand up. However, as soon as she moved, someone next to her looked at her with a sullen face.
"I...I want to get some fruit." Lin Xi immediately took the initiative to explain.
Chen Chu looked at the dining table not far away, and walked over with his long legs. After a while, he brought a plate with various fruits on it and also poured a glass of juice.
"Thank you." Lin Xi picked up the plate and retreated back to the sofa, eating the fruit from time to time. But... with such a depression machine around her, she had no appetite no matter how delicious the fruit was.
After getting on the plane, we still had to fly for nearly twenty hours. Who could stand this? We had to find a way to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Lin decided to get straight to the point: "That..."
Chen Chu lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The excitement that had just built up in Lin Xi's heart disappeared in an instant, and the words that came out of her mouth also completely lost their momentum, revealing a strong sense of guilt: "Are you angry?"
Why are you feeling guilty, Lin Nan? You are the one who is hurt and suffering, and you have done nothing wrong to anyone. Why are you frightened when Senior Chen Chu sees you?
"No." Chen Chu denied it firmly.
"..." Your tone clearly sounds like that.
It was strange. This was not the first time that I was hit by a car in front of Senior Chen Chu. If I counted, it had happened at least three or four times. Why was I so angry only this time?
"That..." Lin Xi mustered up her courage again.
Chen Chu turned his head again.
"I'm a bit bored, can you lend me your phone to play with for a while?" Lin asked.
Chen Chu handed the phone over.
"Thank you." Lin took the phone and shrunk back onto the sofa, then quickly logged into the Penguin.
Maybe because the person who gave them the phone was a Chinese supernatural being, this phone was installed with many social apps commonly used in China, such as Penguin and WeChat.
Since she couldn’t log into WeChat at the moment, Lin could only log into Penguin.
As soon as she came online, a message flashed in, it was from the Dirty King.
Dirt King: [You're back?]
Lin: [I’m still in Country Y, waiting at the airport. I still have two hours before I board the plane.]
Dirt King: [Oh.]
After the King of Wu replied with an "oh", there was no more news.
This person, your colleague and I have gone through so much trouble to get in touch with you, and you don't even care about me? You are so cold!
Lin Yan complained inwardly, then took the initiative to type a line of words: [Ask you something.]
Dirty King: [Speak.]
Lin Yan glanced at Chen Chu quietly: [If someone makes you angry, how do you want him to apologize so that you will forgive him?]
Dirty King: [If someone makes me angry, there is no need to apologize.]
No need to apologize? When did this guy Wu Wang become so magnanimous?
The Dirty King: [I will curse him.]
Lin: [You are so cruel!!]
I can only say that he is worthy of being a curser.
King of Dirt: [Although a certain TV series is very stupid, there is a line that makes a lot of sense. If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? I don’t even need the police. I can solve the problem myself.]
Lin: [Goodbye!]
Lin Xi decisively closed the chat window with the King of Wu, thinking that if she looked at him any longer she would be cursed by him.
“Beep!”
Another message came in, and Lin Yan clicked it and found that the person who sent her the message was Bao Ya.
Bao Ya: [Lin Nan, where have you been recently? I can’t get through to you on the phone.]
She left in too much of a hurry and didn't ask for leave from the secret room. Lin Xi guessed that the store manager must be looking for her.
Lin: [I was on a business trip, I was abroad, and I lost my phone.]
Bao Ya: [You went abroad, no wonder, but why didn’t you tell the store manager? He almost called the police.]
Lin: [Sorry, sorry, this happened suddenly. I will be back tomorrow. Please tell the store manager that I will go to the back room to help grab the radishes as soon as I get back.]
Bao Ya: [Okay, I'm glad you're okay. I'll tell the store manager later.]
Lin thought for a moment and typed: [Sister Xiaoya, if you make your friend angry, how should you apologize appropriately?]
Bao Ya: [Male or female?]
Lin: [Male.]
Bao Ya: [To coax a man!]
When Lin Xi saw those three words, she was so frightened that she almost jumped up from the sofa.
Chen Chu, who was always paying attention to Lin Yan, immediately looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I...I want to eat cake." Lin Yan made up an excuse.
"I'll get it." Chen Chu stood up and went to the dining table again.
Lin sat back on the sofa, lowered her head and rapped: [It's not the kind of relationship you think. We are just ordinary colleagues.]
Bao Yaman is indifferent and extremely confident: [No matter what kind of relationship you have, as long as he is a man, this trick will work for you.]
Lin: [Which trick?]
Bao Ya: [Acting coquettishly.]
Lin: [!!!]
Lin looked at Chen Chu, who was walking back with his plate in hand, and quickly typed a few words to him: [Why are you being so coquettish?]
Bao Ya: [Simple, speaks softly, has a sweet voice, acts pitiful, and seeks comfort.]
Lin Yan was stunned: [Isn’t this a green tea skill?]
Bao Ya: [Why do you think men like green tea?]
Lin Xi seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Chen Chu came back and put the plate with cake in front of Lin Yan: "Eat it."
"I don't want to eat again." Lin Xi said suddenly.
Chen Chu looked at Lin Xi in surprise.
Lin pretended to be pitiful: "I feel bad."
Chen Chu was indeed nervous: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Yan: "I feel uncomfortable all over."
Chen Chu's face changed: "Is the plague breaking out?"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lin Xi's left hand, staring at the circle of blue-black lines on her wrist.
Just half an hour ago, Lin Xi had taken back the plague virus from the dying Mia in front of him, under the cover of the Y Country's supernatural organization. The plague virus passed through Lin Xi's palm and finally gathered on this circle of blue-black lines. At that moment, he seemed to have witnessed the scene after they came out of the Miao village, when Lin Xi transferred the plague virus from his body to her body bit by bit.
Also, was it true that Lin was hit by a coconut when she fell unconscious under the coconut tree? Could it also be due to the virus?
Lin Xi: "No, no, I have sealed the plague. It's okay."
"Let's go to the hospital." Chen Chu pulled Lin Yan and went to the hospital.
“No, I…I…” Lin Yan was anxious and simply hugged Chen Chu’s arm, “Senior, can you please stop being angry? I can’t eat cake when you’re angry. I can only eat vegetarian food, but now I can’t even eat cake. It’s very pitiful.”
Is this considered pretending to be pitiful? Lin Xi secretly looked at Chen Chu's expression.
Chen Chu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long while, with no noticeable change in his expression.
It doesn't work. Is it because my voice isn't cute enough, or is it because I'm not pretending to be sincere enough?
Chen Chu: "I'm not angry with you."
Lin Xi was shocked.
Chen Chu's tone was full of self-blame: "I am angry at myself. The plague originated from me..."
After guessing that the plague on Lin Xi was transferred from him, Chen Chu had been thinking about ways to make up for it. He thought about letting Lin Xi transfer the plague back to him, but he couldn't suppress the plague. Even if he was not afraid of death, his death could not take away the plague. Therefore, the plague could only be on Lin Xi. The clearer he understood this, the more Chen Chu blamed himself, and he wished he had died in the Miao village at that time.
If Lin Xi had not saved him at that time, the plague would still be in the Miao village, Lin Xi could have returned to Earth by herself, and even Zhen Zi would not have gone into hibernation due to energy loss.
He is originally a spirit from the secondary space, and dying there may be the best destination for him.
"You misunderstood!" Lin Xi finally understood the crux of the matter.
Misunderstanding? Chen Chu looked at Lin Yan in confusion.
"Do you think I transferred the plague to myself in order to save you? Wrong, absolutely wrong! In fact, the plague can't do anything to you. Even if I don't transfer the plague, the plague in your body will be suppressed by the mark of the saint on your leg." Lin Nan said.
On the leg? Chen Chu looked down at his calf, his expression slightly changed: "Mark of the Saint?"
"Yes, it's the small leaf on your leg. When you were cursed by the high priest before, it was that small leaf that helped you resolve the curse." Lin Xi said seriously, "So even if I don't help seal the plague, the plague will eventually be suppressed by that small leaf. The reason why I want to seal the plague on myself is because I need the plague."
"You need a plague?" Chen Chu's eyes were full of disbelief. Who in this world would need such a thing?
"Really, I'm not lying to you. In fact, you have more or less discovered that my ability is a bit strange. To be honest, the geography map was not thrown into the space chaos by me, but was absorbed by me." Lin Yu tried her best to make up the function of the system reasonably. "My ability is similar to an exchange. Simply put, the more things I absorb, the more props I get. I absorbed the plague in order to exchange props."
"That's why you have so many props." If someone else said this, Chen Chu would definitely not believe it, but he had witnessed the strangeness of Lin Yan with his own eyes. "So what you got from absorbing the geomagnetic map was the 'Signature Paper of the Stealing God'?"
"Yes!" Lin Nan nodded decisively.
Although the "signature paper of the God of Stealing" is far from being equivalent to a geography map, she can infer that the geography map is blank and does not contain much energy, so it is severely devalued.
"No wonder the 'Signature-stealing Paper of God' is so powerful. It can actually steal other people's supernatural powers directly." Chen Chu suddenly realized.
"What did you say?! Superpowers? Isn't it an S-level item?" After Lin was hit by a car, Chen Chu entered a state of depression, so she didn't dare to ask Chen Chu what he stole from Mia. And in her subconscious, she always thought that what Chen Chu stole must be the S-level replacement item.
Chen Chu took out the plain ring from his pocket: "What I stole was the other party's space power. After the other party lost the space power, the space collapsed and the props fell out."
Lin Xian took the ring and said, "Is this the item that can replace the supernatural power? So, you not only stole the supernatural power, but also got the item."
Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."
Lin was not in a hurry to check the function of the props. She was more curious about superpowers: "Superpowers can actually be stolen? Then can you use the stolen superpowers?"
Chen Chu: “Yes.”
The reason why Chen Chu said that "The Signature Paper of Stealing God" was powerful was not only because the signature paper could steal other people's superpowers, but also because the moment he stole the superpowers, he learned how to use them. It was as if he stole not only other people's superpowers, but also their understanding of and methods of using superpowers.
Lin Yu was surprised and asked, "So you now have space-related abilities. What level is it? Is there an S-level one?"
Only then did Chen Chu reveal a faint smile: "More than that."
"More than that?" Lin Xi was puzzled. Isn't Mia's ability only S-level? Can it be upgraded by stealing things?
Chen Chu: "'Stealing God's Signature Paper' steals superpowers, not superpowers of fixed levels. My level has already surpassed S-level, so the space superpower in me has also surpassed S-level."
Lin's eyes widened a little: "You mean, if an A-level psychic steals, then this ability is A-level, and if a B-level psychic steals, this ability is B-level? You surpassed the S-level, so this ability has been upgraded in you."
Chen Chu: “That’s right!”
Lin Yan: “I’ll go!”
This is really powerful! It turns out that this is the correct way to open the "Signature Paper of the Stealing God".
"System, you are so generous this time. You gave me 12 such powerful props at once!" This is no longer the system she knows.
"It just happened to trigger a 100% success rate." According to the success rate of the signature paper, it will only succeed once in ten times.
The 100% success rate is only triggered when stealing items that do not originally belong to the opponent, so... could it be that Mia's space ability was not originally hers?
"Mia's space ability is not her own?" Lin Wei asked immediately.
The system remained silent and ignored Lin Xi. However, the silence of the system made Lin Xi more certain of her guess. If her guess was wrong, the system would definitely ridicule her according to its settings.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Chu asked when he saw Lin Xi was in a daze again.
"I wonder if Mia's space ability was also stolen?" Lin Xi expressed her guess.
Chen Chu subconsciously wanted to deny it, because superpowers must be awakened by the superpower holder himself, but when he thought about how he had just stolen someone else's superpowers, he couldn't help but think deeply: "It's not impossible. Magical superpowers are all kinds of strange. If you can have this kind of prop, then others may also have similar ones. And..."
"And what?" Lin asked.
"The Blue Flame Master's special ability has always been a mystery. Some say he is a necromancer, because Blue Flame has the most necromancers, but some say he has water-related special abilities, because some people have seen him create tsunamis. Some say he is a sorcerer, and every Blue Flame member has a sorcerer inside his body..." Chen Chu said, "But maybe he is just good at stealing."
"Are you saying that his supernatural powers were stolen from somewhere else?" Lin Xian asked.
"Well, this can explain why he can master so many superpowers at the same time, and why a terrorist organization that has only been rising for more than ten years can have so many S-level superpowers." Chen Chu's thoughts gradually became clear, "If this guess is true, the master of Blue Flame's stealing is more powerful than the 'stealing god's signature paper', and he can even steal unlimited times."
Although the "Signature Paper of the Stealing God" is powerful, it is disposable and will disappear after use.
"Then could it be that Dracula's puppeteer ability was also stolen?" Lin Xi suddenly thought of Dracula, "Didn't you say that it's difficult for vampires to awaken a second time? He's also from Blue Flame."
"That's possible." If the above inference is correct, Dracula's supernatural power is indeed likely to have been stolen by the master of Blue Flame and given to his subordinates.
"Then let's go steal." Lin Xi suddenly became excited.
"steal?"
"Yeah." Lin Xi quickly took out another "Signature Paper of the Stealing God" from the inventory.
"You still have it?" Lin Xi actually still has such a powerful prop.
"I have more than ten of them." She is now very rich.
"!!" Chen Chu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is this what you asked me to smoke in the car before?"
"Yes!"
That leaves 11 pictures. Chen Chu calculated quickly and could only say that it was worthy of being a geologic map. One map could exchange for 12 kinds of superpowers.
"Although the puppeteer's ability is strange, it may not be suitable for you, I think..."
"Yes, the puppeteer is the most suitable for me. With him, I can turn into a puppet when I get into a car accident in the future." If she turns into a puppet, she won't feel pain and can be hit by a car at any time. Is there any superpower that suits her better than this?
Chen Chu understood what was going on, his expression changed immediately, and he pulled Lin Yan out: "Let's go."
