With a faint smile on his face, Ning Feng appeared to be gently conversing with a stranger seeking help, seemingly harmless.
But in reality, he was quietly improving his physical awareness, preparing to take the initiative at any time.
He does have a task to complete and doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, but he doesn't mind doing some cleaning work along the way.
For example, stepping on and killing the rats in the sewer.
The creature that secretly cast a malicious glance at Ning Feng was not an extraordinary being, but an Awakened One!
Now that humans have the upper hand, even if supernatural beings appear, they won't be in places like Bincheng, but rather in some border areas.
Without the threat of a powerful external enemy like the gods, the Awakened Ones, while not yet engaged in civil war, are not all of one mind.
The Watchmen are a synonym for the Awakened, but the Awakened do not refer exclusively to the Watchmen.
The Watchmen are indeed the largest Awakened organization, but they have never shown any interest in world domination.
Some naturally awakened individuals will also be absorbed into other awakened organizations.
These organizations differ in strength, affiliation, and style of operation.
As long as they don't do anything crazy that harms the ordinary world, the Watchers won't interfere too much even if some organizations do evil things.
Evil cannot be out in the open, but it is an integral part of the world.
It can be restrained, but it cannot be eliminated.
As for those awakened individuals who are not absorbed by the organization, they are simply in a "wild" state.
Without guidance, they followed their instincts and stumbled into the other side of the world, forced to accept bizarre and unbelievable truths.
Normally, they might disguise themselves and hide in the world of ordinary people, continuing their original lives.
Other awakened individuals wouldn't object to this approach, since not everyone enjoys a life filled with blood and fire.
As long as they live honestly and lawfully, no one will notice or interfere with them.
But they should be careful.
Once they commit a heinous act that would expose their Awakened identity, they will only have two paths to choose from.
Either say goodbye to your family, leave the world of ordinary people, and accept reform, or... simply leave this world altogether.
If you're thinking about reviving spiritual energy and becoming unparalleled in the ordinary world, you should probably just dream about it.
Some awakened individuals who made mistakes but refused to leave this world were given a new identity.
[The person being investigated]
Nickname: Little Mouse.
Commonly known as a wanted criminal.
Their strengths vary, but they generally do not exceed the second tier.
For these minor, trivial troubles, the Overwatch won't waste precious energy searching for them; instead, they'll simply issue them as missions.
Different organizations' awakened squads would receive these wanted posters to track down these little rats who had been sentenced to death.
At that moment, Ning Feng realized that he might be being watched by a little mouse.
Following his gaze, he saw a pair of bloodshot eyes filled with longing behind an iron gate not far away, and he could see his information.
Race: Human (Male)
Age: 33
Strength: First-tier Awakener
Lineage: Bloodline - Demon Slayer
Attitude: Desire, fear, madness (He craves your blood, but hesitates due to inexplicable fear)
Abilities: Fear, Sharp Claws, Berserk (Low Level)...
Weakling.
Even though Ning Feng wasn't the type to underestimate his enemies, he still instinctively muttered "weakling" when he saw the data.
His strength is not high, and he doesn't have many abilities. His only notable attribute, the demon bloodline, is perfectly countered by Ning Feng.
This wild awakened one is fine against ordinary people, but against Ning Feng, he's just throwing his life away.
If he could beat me, I'd rather do a handstand while washing my hair.
"I don't think spying on others is a good habit, what do you think?"
The other party was clearly startled when they heard Ning Feng's voice. They glanced at Ning Feng's face with suspicion, but still cautiously did not reveal their identity.
Although he realized Ning Feng was not someone to be trifled with and wanted to give up, he still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that Ning Feng was bluffing him.
It must be a trick!
"You're still up to no good. If you don't come out, I'll come looking for you."
Somewhat impatient, Ning Feng narrowed his eyes and then ran straight in that direction!
A faint glow appeared on Ning Feng's chest beneath his clothes. He felt a special power surge from the secret runes to his limbs, making his body feel lighter and his senses clearer.
This secret rune has a comprehensive impact on Ning Feng!
If Ning Feng had been in this state when he fought against Luo Da before, he felt he could have truly defeated him!
[Witch's Favor Rune (Legendary): Condensed from the full magical power of a legendary alchemist, it comprehensively enhances abilities and can be replenished repeatedly.]
This is Shirin's masterpiece, her latest achievement after seeing Ningfeng's blood—a rechargeable, long-lasting secret rune.
While it may seem unremarkable, this kind of secret pattern technique, which involves carving patterns on the body, is not uncommon.
But just like the "equivalent exchange" pursued by alchemy, they all come at a price.
Either the effect is short-term and cannot last, or the engraving is permanent and cannot be modified; some even require shaving off all the hair on the body before engraving can be done.
However, the one that Shirin left on Ning Feng's chest was different. Its effect was not permanent. It was maintained by consuming the magic power stored inside the secret rune, and it was consumed as needed, making it very flexible.
Xilin's idea was to infuse her own power into the secret runes she gave Ning Feng, so that he could protect himself.
