I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 218 I believe in my faith in my mother!

Besiege the department building.

seven in the morning.

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath and sat down at the door of Zhang Guang's office.

Although he didn't get home until after three in the morning last night and only slept for three hours, Lin Xing'an looked energetic.

After all, he was going to "select abilities" today...

"Junior, why are you here so early?"

Wearing work clothes and with beautiful short hair again, Ke Ke stopped in front of Lin Xing'an with a stack of documents in her hands.

"The minister wants to tell me something."

Lin Xing'an stood up and said.

"Senior, what are you doing..."

"Oh! It's okay! I can go by myself and organize the information."

Seeing that Lin Xing'an wanted to help take the documents, Ke Ke also said with a smile.

"Then... I'll go first."

She looked at Lin Xing'an and waved her hand.

"Ugh……"

After returning to the office and putting down the documents, Keke sighed.

I don't know why, but after Lin Xing'an and Xu Zhe finished their conversation that night, their relationship... seemed to have suddenly become distant...

It's not that he's distant, it's just... he's become a lot more polite.

She even felt that Lin Xing'an seemed to be avoiding her, as if he was afraid to face her...

Even though we talked about everything when we were alone...

What did Brother Xu say to his junior that day?

Keke shook his head and suddenly felt a little regretful.

On the last night she was alone with Lin Xing'an, she had planned to confess her love to him.

But in the end, I hesitated and didn't make up my mind.

Let’s wait until tomorrow’s celebration party…

Keke tucked her short hair behind her ears and thought to herself.

"An An, come in first."

After waiting outside for less than two minutes, Zhang Guang opened the door and waved to Lin Xing'an.

"Please sit down and wait for me for a few minutes. Alas, I am old!"

Zhang Guang, wearing this pajamas, rubbed his waist and drank a sip of coffee.

"I'll wash up, you take a look first."

"This is the process for tomorrow's celebration party."

He finished a cup of coffee and handed a few sheets of paper on the table to Lin Xing'an.

Lin Xing'an also looked through it.

Because there were so many people, the banquet seemed more like a gathering for everyone to vent.

And it was nearing the end of the round, so we specially reserved some time for dancing at noon.

Everyone can invite anyone they like to dance.

It's a large-scale blind date dance.

"Huh! Let's go! Sister Jiang is here and is looking for someone for you."

Zhang Guang changed into formal clothes and waved to Lin Xing'an.

"Is Commissioner Jiang going too?"

Lin Xing'an hurried to follow.

"Yes, only by absorbing the darkness when near death can the probability of gaining the attribute reach 10%."

"Theoretically, the closer you are to death, the higher the probability."

"Commissioner Jiang's ability can bring us close to death at no cost, without any side effects."

Zhang Guang took Lin Xing'an and left the siege department building through a deserted path.

Then he drove and entered Huayu Community fifteen minutes later.

Lin Xing'an looked through the car window with a frown.

This is just an... extremely ordinary residential area.

But today is a weekday, so there are not many people in the yard at this time.

There was only a blind girl wearing sunglasses, who seemed to be adapting to the darkness.

It seems like the years are peaceful.

“The more ordinary the place, the safer it is.”

"go!"

Zhang Guang parked his car in a public parking space in front of an apartment building.

He took Lin Xing'an directly into 101.

There is no furniture inside, it's just a bare house.

But because of the space on the first floor, there is a basement.

"I go……"

Pushing open the heavy door and walking into the basement, Lin Xing'an took a breath of cold air.

This is not a basement...

This clearly means there's a house underground...

The space below is more than twice as large as that above.

However, just like the one above, this extra-large basement is also not decorated.

Just simply laid the floor.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the rows of neatly arranged shelves.

On top are glass bottles the size of cans.

In the glass bottle, there is concentrated darkness.

There are small labels on the bottle.

It simply marks the time and seals the obscure ability.

Under the light, the dark things in the bottles swayed in disorder, like black ghost fires, which was indescribably strange.

"coming."

Jiang Rong, wearing a white coat, walked out from behind a shelf.

She no longer looked like the elementary school student that Lin Xing'an saw last time, but had become someone in her thirties.

Perhaps because she was wearing frameless, thin-legged glasses, her whole aura reminded Lin Xing'an of his former math teacher.

"Sister Jiang, sorry for the wait. I wasted some time."

Zhang Guang stepped forward and said.

"Commissioner Jiang."

Lin Xing'an also spoke politely.

Jiang Rong didn't care about that. "Just walk around and take a look. I'll pick some."

She glanced at Lin Xing'an and said, then waved to Zhang Guang.

"An An, consider your actual situation and think about what kind of attack method you want."

"I have a general direction in mind first."

Zhang Guang patted Lin Xing'an on the shoulder.

"it is good."

Lin Xing'an also took a deep breath and nodded.

Although the control of darkness is aggressive enough, he cannot reveal this ability.

Therefore, for him now, he really needs to strengthen his attack methods and increase his aggressiveness.

He needed an ability that he could use in front of others after joining the committee.

But this ability doesn't need to be too strong...

Too strong will attract attention.

Lin Xing'an walked slowly, looking at the label on the jar, thinking to himself.

[Super Strength], [Flight], [Shrinkage], [Toughness], [Gluttony]...

Lin Xing'an just glanced at these rows of Level E abilities without looking closely.

This kind of ability, even if it is successfully absorbed and the attributes are obtained, is quite useless.

When it came to the rows of Class D capabilities, Lin Xing'an slowed down and carefully examined each jar one by one.

Compared to the E-level capabilities, the improvement of the D-level is too obvious.

"hiss……"

After looking at a few rows, Lin Xing'an rubbed his eyes.

He actually felt like he was shopping in a supermarket...

After looking at just a few dozen, I already have a few abilities and attributes that I like.

For example, [Synesthesia], the ability description is that one can control and enhance certain feelings of oneself and the people and animals in the ghost realm.

One of the attributes of this ability is the exploration of sensations, which is quite useful for Lin Xingan's undercover work.

There is also [Plunder], this ability can temporarily plunder the dark side of people and animals in the ghost realm.

It sounds like it fits perfectly with Lin Xing'an's ability to control darkness.

There is also [Mastery], which can greatly enhance learning ability.

Similar to Teacher Orange's [Memory] ability, this ability can also allow Lin Xing'an to quickly learn various weapon use and fighting techniques.

Improve Lin Xing'an's strength in a short period of time.

It works very well with Lin Xing'an's [Wave].

"It's really dazzling..."

Seeing the Class C jar, Lin Xing'an sighed again.

Compared with the abilities of Class D, Class C has certain additional attribute abilities.

For example, [Ride the Wind] can control the wind.

For example, [Tianshui] can control water.

There's also the rather strange [Alchemy], which can turn any metal into gold...

Unfortunately, in the world of chicken coops, money means nothing.

"An'an."

Lin Xing'an was watching when Zhang Guang's voice suddenly came.

"coming!"

Lin Xing'an glanced at the time.

Before he knew it, he had been watching for almost half an hour.

"Here it is! Come!"

Turning left and right between the shelves, Lin Xing'an saw Zhang Guang holding a few jars.

"Don't be anxious, give your hand to grandma, let me take a look at your condition first."

Jiang Rong waved to Lin Xing'an.

"An An, don't call me Commissioner Jiang anymore. Just call me Grandma. This will also be your future role on the committee."

Zhang Guang raised his eyebrows at Lin Xing'an.

Lin Xing'an also nodded in understanding, "Grandma."

He looked at Jiang Rong and said obediently.

"This kid is still a little embarrassed."

Jiang Rong also smiled and took Lin Xing'an's hand.

The next second, just like the first time he met Jiang Rong, Lin Xing'an felt that his vitality was instantly drained!

The Jiang Rong in front of him had changed from a woman in her thirties to a girl of six or seven years old.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the vitality flowed into Lin Xing'an's body through Jiang Rong's hand.

Jiang Rong also returned to his original appearance.

"Yes, your current physical condition is most suitable for absorbing Yin Hui."

She let go of Lin Xing'an's hand.

"...Grandma, is there a limit to how much I can absorb Yin Hui and gain abilities and attributes like this?"

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath and asked while rubbing his wrist.

"Yes, this kind of darkness is, after all, left behind by someone else after death. If you absorb a small amount, it's fine. But if you absorb too much, it will cause a rejection reaction with the darkness already in your body."

"So those who rely on killing gluttonous ghosts to obtain Yinhui people and animals will never be stronger than us."

"These nine jars were chosen for you by Zhang Guang and I. If you absorb all of them and don't gain any attributes, that's fate. Don't absorb them anymore."

Jiang Rong motioned Lin Xing'an to take a look.

"These...are all Class C..."

Lin Xing'an also took the jar carefully.

【Shadow Kill】, including attributes of manipulating shadows, blending into shadows, and changing shadows.

【Blood Source】, including the attributes of controlling blood and producing blood.

【Unparalleled】, literally means obtaining a time-limited, substantial physical enhancement that grows with level.

The attributes included are the enhancement of various body functions, such as increased strength, increased stamina, increased speed, etc.

[Yi] can perceive every emotion of everyone around you, and different emotions will produce different "Yi".

Different "intentions" can strengthen different attributes of the body and can be transformed at any time according to the situation on the battlefield.

Similar to the small attributes contained in the above [Wushuang], the small attributes contained in [Yi] are also the enhancement of various body functions.

But there is an additional function of perceiving emotions and actively reinforcing them.

However, in the current situation, having too many small attributes is not a good thing.

Because to Lin Xing'an, it was even more random.

[Dharma-phase], can release a "Dharma-phase true body" formed based on its own abilities.

This "Dharma-image true body" can also use the abilities of the original body.

In other words, it is equivalent to an all-round improvement in physical fitness and a higher level of ability.

The small attributes included are the enhancement of one's own abilities, improvement of physical fitness, etc.

【Crisis awareness】can predict the dangers that will be encountered in the future.

How long this future is can change and grow.

For example, in battle, you can predict the enemy's actions in a few seconds.

Before the battle begins, you can predict the dangers you may face in a few hours.

The included minor attributes include crisis sensing and crisis foresight.

Similar to "Spider Sense", it is an auxiliary ability.

【Photosynthesis】 can store the sun's energy.

The amount of stored energy increases with strength.

When needed, this energy can be released directly for attack.

If it is not released and stored in the body, it can normally increase physical energy and physical fitness.

The small properties included are energy storage, energy conversion, etc.

【Faith】, the purer your faith in your mother, the stronger the power you will gain.

This ability has nothing to do with the user's level.

It only depends on the purity and loyalty of the user's faith in his mother.

Therefore, even if the user only has the strength of Level E, but is absolutely loyal to and has absolute faith in his mother, he can still unleash infinite power.

Similarly, even if the user is Class A, if he does not believe in his mother, he will not be able to use any power.

So this ability contains a very strange little attribute - faith conversion.

[Fair Competition], the ghost domain will forcibly cover an enemy, creating a one-on-one scenario.

This ability seems a bit ordinary, but like the [Faith] above, it also contains a very powerful little attribute - coercion.

"call……"

Lin Xing'an put down the last jar.

Looking at the darkness in the nine jars, he took a deep breath.

"Grandma, I see that the five minor attributes of the abilities in the middle all include improvements to physical fitness."

"Physical fitness... is it that important? If I only improve my physical fitness, I still won't have any offensive means..."

Lin Xing'an asked curiously.

Jiang Rong and Zhang Guangze smiled at the same time.

"Physical fitness is the most basic and most important thing."

"Only abilities that are linked to physical fitness are truly good abilities. You'll understand this once you actually fight in the future."

"As for offensiveness... it would be best if you could absorb the offensive attributes of these abilities."

"It doesn't matter if you can't absorb it. As long as you have a strong physical condition and a solid foundation, there are many ways to improve your offensive ability."

Jiang Rong doesn't really care about any aggressive issues.

Lin Xing'an also nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"An An, among these abilities and attributes, is there any that you prefer?"

"I prefer..."

Lin Xing'an looked at [Faith] and said, "Minister, I personally prefer the attribute of Faith Conversion."

He picked up the jar.

Compared with the complete ability of faith, this attribute of faith conversion is obviously a castrated version.

But it is obviously more suitable for Lin Xing'an.

Because this converted belief doesn't say who it is for...

"Oh? An An, this attribute... is not easy to control."

"It's okay, I believe in my faith in my mother!"

Lin Xing'an said confidently.

Zhang Guang didn't say anything, but Jiang Rong on the side looked at Lin Xing'an deeply and burst out laughing.
