Chapter 1253 - 1250: A Strange Dream
Mu Qiu said word by word, "Actually, my superpower isn't mainly for fighting; it's specifically for perceiving others' weaknesses." This single sentence left Lin Chuan astonished, as he didn't expect such a superpower to exist.
Lin Chuan said in surprise, "So, you're saying you can sense my weaknesses right now?"
Mu Qiu nodded and said, "That's right, I know how to defeat you. Unfortunately, I only have the ability to perceive but lack the strength to defeat the opponent, which frustrates me immensely."
Mu Qiu shook his head in frustration.
Lin Chuan understood why Mu Qiu initially told him to leave quickly because he couldn't defeat that big man.
After a while, Lin Chuan said, "We should leave here for now; it seems there are still many things waiting for us to do. I'll gradually explain everything to you later."
Without waiting for Mu Qiu's response, he turned and left on his own.
Mu Qiu wanted to say something as Lin Chuan turned to leave, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he followed Lin Chuan out of the abandoned village. On the way back, Lin Chuan briefly explained the situation to Mu Qiu, including the need to gather the remaining three people and his own identity. Mu Qiu was left with his mouth gaping open in surprise upon hearing about the Ghost Gate, then fell into deep thought and finally remained silent.
As Lin Chuan and Mu Qiu had already walked far away, a person appeared in the abandoned village. This person had long blue hair covering half of their face. They walked to the big man's corpse, snorted coldly, and muttered, "What a complete waste, having all that brute strength but no idea how to use it. But it seems we're one step closer to completing the mission handed down from above." After saying that, they left.
Lin Chuan planned to first discuss with Mu Qiu about finding the remaining three people.
The two found a house in the village, and Lin Chuan let Mu Qiu rest first, as Mu Qiu had sustained injuries in the confrontation with the big man earlier.
But Mu Qiu insisted on discussing the other three people and the Ghost Gate first. Seeing this, Lin Chuan said, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure if what the Invisibility Superpower User said is true, but if it is, what could their purpose in telling us be? Could it be that they also hold some grudge against the Ghost Gate like we do?"
Lin Chuan spilled out his thoughts in one breath and then looked at Mu Qiu, waiting for Mu Qiu's perspective.
After a moment of thought, Mu Qiu said, "Could it be that it's because of the increasing number of superpowered individuals?"
Mu Qiu's words startled Lin Chuan, as he hadn't considered the issue of the growing number of superpowered individuals. Indeed, Lin Chuan had been wondering what had caused so many people to awaken superpowers. Could it truly be related to the old Demon God legend?
After pondering Mu Qiu's words for a long time, Lin Chuan said, "If that's the case, it could be a huge conspiracy, one that involves all superpowered individuals." After speaking, Lin Chuan was taken aback by his own words.
He wasn't sure if his speculation was correct, but one thing was for sure: they urgently needed to gather the remaining three people.
Mu Qiu said, "Since you can sense my location when I'm in danger, we can use this method to continue finding the remaining three people."
After Mu Qiu spoke, he looked at Lin Chuan and said, "So, we just need to wait for the third person to encounter danger to sense it."
The two of them had no choice but to wait, so they decided to rest for a bit.
Lin Chuan had a peculiar dream.
In his dream, he found himself standing in a palace he had never seen before, with no one around. Just as Lin Chuan was unsure of what to do, a figure appeared in front of him. This person was entirely shrouded in a black robe, concealing their face. Lin Chuan asked warily, "Who are you? And where is this?"
The figure cloaked in a black robe said nothing, but the entire grand hall suddenly shook violently. The figure lifted off the ground and shouted loudly, "Finally, the plan is about to be completed. Oh, let the legendary Demon God come into the world."
Lin Chuan watched in incomprehension as changes occurred around him, but he knew the black-robed figure was proclaiming the advent of the Demon God. Was the legendary Demon God truly about to be resurrected?
He couldn't believe the drastic changes in the entire palace, and suddenly the ground in front of him collapsed, revealing a huge creature rising from below.
As Lin Chuan dozed off, he was suddenly awakened by a familiar voice. Yes, the voice was familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had heard it. No, it was the faint voice of the Invisibility Superpower User from that night.
The voice said, "You must quickly find the others, or it will be too late."
Lin Chuan asked in shock, "What will be too late? What's happening?"
The faint voice continued, "The Ghost Gate's plan is already underway, and the entire team is on standby, fully cooperating with this plan. You five must hurry."
Just as Lin Chuan was about to say something else, he found the Invisibility Superpower User had vanished.
He was left wondering what the plan that had already started was.
Mu Qiu asked beside him, "Who were you talking to just now?"
Lin Chuan realized that Mu Qiu's superpower was quite weak, so he couldn't sense the presence of the Invisibility Superpower User.
Lin Chuan said, "It was that Invisibility Superpower User. They told me that the Ghost Gate's plan is about to begin, and we have to hurry."
Mu Qiu thought for a moment and said, "But what's the background of that Invisibility Superpower User? Whether they are friend or foe, we don't know yet." Lin Chuan felt Mu Qiu made a valid point, but at present, he indeed had a considerable conflict with the Ghost Gate, and whether that person was a friend or enemy, he had to settle accounts with the Ghost Gate.
While speaking, Lin Chuan suddenly felt his heart sink, just like the symptoms he experienced when he found Mu Qiu.
Lin Chuan exclaimed in surprise, "It's that feeling again, which means the third person might have appeared."
As he spoke, he saw that Mu Qiu was in the same state and asked, "Do you feel it too? That inexplicable sense of oppression in your heart."
Mu Qiu nodded and said, "Lin Chuan, you must use your superpower to locate this person immediately. We have to save them."
