A hot wind blew outside the clown's house.

The morning sun slanted across the open space in front of the ruins, where Li Zhengfeng, Peng Tao, Lu Feng, and Chen Mo stood facing each other.

They were making the most of their time, familiarizing themselves with the extraordinary power that had just awakened within them.

Four distinct supernatural abilities unleashed a breathtaking power under the sunlight.

Li Zhengfeng stood in the center of the field.

He took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on a rusty, abandoned car more than ten meters away.

He raised his right hand, palm up, and gently lifted it up.

Om-!

The massive steel behemoth, weighing two tons, suddenly trembled violently.

The next moment, defying the laws of physics, the entire car detached from the ground and hovered several meters in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he flipped his palm and pressed it down hard on the ground!

boom!!

Tens of times stronger gravity instantly superimposed on the gravitational acceleration of the fall!

The car, suspended in mid-air, tore through the air with a piercing whistle, and crashed violently into the ground at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

boom!

A deafening metallic explosion rang out.

Under astonishing acceleration and terrifying pressure, the heavy car was crushed into a thin sheet of metal the moment it touched the ground!

Gravel and dust flew wildly in all directions, and the hard cement ground where it stood was smashed into a deep crater.

Gravity reigns supreme; it's terrifying!

……

Not far away, Peng Tao's eyes gleamed with silver light.

He located a half-buried, half-meter-high abandoned iron block about ten meters away.

He raised his hand and grabbed at the iron block in mid-air.

"Click click click—"

A sharp, tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out.

Under the influence of the supernatural power, the solid iron block instantly collapsed and liquefied, turning into a stream of shimmering, mercury-like liquid metal that roared into the air.

Peng Tao's thoughts flickered.

The molten metal suspended in the air moved rapidly like a living thing, transforming in the blink of an eye into various weapon forms such as a greatsword, a battle axe, and a spinning round shield, with unparalleled fluidity.

"Change!"

Peng Tao waved his hand.

The mass of molten metal instantly split into dozens of cold spears radiating a chilling light.

shhhhhh!

Dozens of spears transformed into streaks of silver light, piercing the ground with the force of a storm!

puff!

The piercing sounds of penetration blended together. The hard concrete ground was easily pierced as if it were tofu, and dozens of spears were deeply embedded in the ground, their tips trembling violently in the air.

Reconstructing metal from nothing, combining offense and defense—this is the A-level ability—Metal Domination!

……

"Hey, that's interesting."

Lu Feng licked his lips and casually picked up a withered leaf from beside his feet.

He circulated his internal energy, instantly infusing it with a scarlet, fiery killing intent.

The originally fragile and easily broken withered leaves suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light, radiating a sharpness that was harder and more piercing than refined steel!

Lu Feng flicked his finger.

"call out!"

The withered leaf, enveloped in red light, tore through the air like a red lightning bolt, accompanied by a sharp sonic boom.

Click!

A wall a hundred meters away, half a meter thick, was easily pierced by this soft, withered leaf!

It left a perforation with a smooth edge.

"Haha, that was great! Again!"

Lu Feng's eyes burned with even more fervor as he bent down and grabbed dozens of withered leaves from the ground.

Boiling blood energy surged forth from his right arm. Dozens of withered leaves instantly transformed into blood-red throwing knives flowing with fiery red light!

Swish swish!

In an instant, dozens of blood-red blades roared out like a storm, covering the entire area in front.

Puff puff!

A series of ear-piercing explosions rang out.

The wall collapsed in an instant, sending up a cloud of stone chips and dust!

Everything can be turned into a blade; this is the A-level ability—Weapon Mastery!

Chen Mo, standing at the very back, remained calm.

He raised his right hand and flicked it lightly at the nothingness in front of him.

"Buzz—!"

Despite the absence of wind, the air vibrated violently upon impact.

A visible, semi-transparent sonic ripple, like ripples on water, swept out from his fingertips.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the vibrations continued!

Even the surrounding space hummed under the sweep of this invisible sound wave, unable to bear the burden.

Shaking the soul with sound waves, powerfully tearing apart and controlling the field over a wide area – this is the B-level ability – Soul-Suppressing Demonic Sound!

……

Just then.

crunch--

The clown's house doors are wide open to both sides.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, Luo Qingyan strode out with Zhao Mingyu.

Li Zhengfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to greet Zhao Mingyu, looking at him eagerly: "You succeeded?"

A smile appeared on Zhao Mingyu's pale face, and he nodded heavily.

"Very good!"

Li Zhengfeng excitedly clenched his fist.

He was well aware of Zhao Mingyu's abilities and his role in team battles.

"Get in the car, let's go back to the station first."

Luo Qingyan gave the order.

"yes!"

Li Zhengfeng responded in a deep voice, then turned and beckoned Peng Tao and the others to get into the car.

With the roar of engines, the convoy drove away from the abandoned amusement park and sped toward the headquarters of the Paranormal Bureau.

Inside the train carriage.

Luo Qingyan leaned back in her seat and took out her phone.

She knew that Qin Zhenguo must still be waiting anxiously at this moment.

Without hesitation, Luo Qingyan sent a text message directly.

[Operation Sharp Knife was a success; all five members have successfully awakened!]

The text message had only been sent for a few seconds when Luo Qingyan's phone vibrated.

Caller ID: Qin Zhenguo.

Luo Qingyan answered the phone: "Director Qin."

"Qingyan! Is what you wrote in the text message true?!" On the other end of the phone, Qin Zhenguo couldn't contain his excitement. "Five people...they all succeeded?!"

"I have successfully completed my mission."

Looking at the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window, Luo Qingyan said calmly and confidently, "All five of them successfully completed their awakening without any unexpected incidents."

"Great! That's wonderful!"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Zhenguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The addition of four A-level and one B-level Awakened individuals is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Paranormal Bureau!

With this elite squad, we have more confidence in dealing with the upcoming bizarre outbreaks.

After the initial excitement, Qin Zhenguo's tone suddenly became serious.

"Qingyan, I have preliminary findings on the warehouse evacuation case."

According to the security guard at the scene, before he was knocked unconscious, he saw a "black mist" that could conceal his figure. And... a human hand reached out from that mist.

Upon hearing the words "black fog".

Luo Qingyan, sitting in the back row, suddenly narrowed her eyes, and her knuckles gripping her phone turned slightly white.

Involuntarily, the epic battle of her past life came back to her mind.

that day.

The Lord of Dawn descended from nowhere onto the blood-red sky.

Golden light filled the sky, and thunder destroyed the world!

In just a moment, the invincible S-class vengeful ghost was suppressed.

In the afterglow of the gradually dissipating golden light and thunder, she glimpsed from afar that the leader was always surrounded by a deep black mist.

It was ethereal and indistinct, making it impossible to see clearly.

That is why, in the ten years of his previous life, even though the Dawn Organization was renowned, no one had ever seen the face of the Dawn Leader!

So, could that black mist that once appeared in the warehouse be the leader of Dawn?

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Qingyan's breathing became rapid.

However, she didn't rush to make a judgment. Lowering her voice, she asked into the phone, "Director Qin, what other specific characteristics does that black mist have?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Zhenguo paused for a moment, recalling the security captain's statement.

"According to the security captain, the black mist was extremely unusual. It churned and twisted like living ink, making it impossible to discern even the outline of a living person, let alone their appearance. If a hand hadn't reached out from the black mist and knocked him unconscious, he would have thought it was some kind of monster."

After hearing Qin Zhenguo's supplement, Luo Qingyan was somewhat dazed.

These characteristics perfectly matched the black mist that she had glimpsed around the Dawn Leader in her past life!

The other party's identity is already obvious.

It's the leader of Dawn!

Thinking of this, Luo Qingyan's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement:

"Director Qin... if I'm not mistaken..."

"The one who emptied those five warehouses was none other than..."

"It must be that...leader of the Dawn Organization!"

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Only Qin Zhenguo's rapid and heavy breathing could be clearly heard through the receiver.

"What...what did you say?!"

Qin Zhenguo suddenly stood up in the back seat of the speeding SUV, his head hitting the roof of the car with a loud bang, but he was completely unaware of it.

"The person who emptied the warehouse... was the leader of Dawn?!"

These words stirred up a tidal wave in Qin Zhenguo's heart!

In recent times, they have used almost all their resources to find this mysterious organization.

But the harvest was meager.

Qin Zhenguo never expected that the leader of Dawn, whom he had been thinking about day and night, would actually appear like this.

"That's right, it should be him!"

Luo Qingyan stated with absolute certainty: "That black mist that can completely block all detection is the unique characteristic of that leader!"

"Furthermore, the ability to move hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies overnight without anyone noticing... Who else could have done that in the early stages of the strange event besides him?"

Listening to Luo Qingyan's analysis, Qin Zhenguo also fell into deep thought.

My brain was racing, processing this shocking piece of information.

If the other party really is the leader of Dawn.

So... the other side is stockpiling such a large amount of strategic survival resources such as food, medicine, and fuel...

What does this tell us?

This indicates that the person was storing supplies.

This further suggests that the other party may already know that the strange event is about to fully unfold.

……

At the same time.

Yenching University, male dormitory.

"Click".

Shen Lesheng pushed open the half-closed dormitory door, and his originally calm eyes froze instantly when he saw the scene inside.

What met the eye was a suffocating mess.

His laptop, which he had saved every penny from and which he usually wouldn't even press hard on the keys, was now smashed to pieces, its parts scattered all over the floor.

What chilled him to the bone most was the terrible state of the desk and the floor.

His first draft of his graduation thesis, which he had spent countless sleepless nights, consulting numerous documents, and revising over several months, was now torn to shreds.

The scattered scraps of paper covered the ground like snowflakes.

On those scraps of paper that bore witness to his countless days and nights of hard work, there were several muddy shoe prints.

That was an undisguised trampling and humiliation.

on the chair.

A young man dressed in designer clothes was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette.

Two of his usual lackeys were standing next to him.

Wang Hao ground the pile of shredded paper on the ground with his toes, looking down at Shen Lesheng with undisguised mockery and malice on his face.

"Hey, our top student is back?"

Wang Hao flicked off his cigarette ash, and crimson sparks landed on the scattered pieces of paper, instantly burning a black hole.

"I'm so sorry. I was tidying up and accidentally broke your computer and manuscript paper."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Hao casually took out his wallet and pulled out a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills.

Without even glancing at it, he threw the banknotes at Shen Lesheng's feet!

"This money should be enough to cover the losses, right?"

The two henchmen next to him immediately joined in the laughter, their shrill mockery echoing in the cramped dormitory.

Shen Lesheng stood at the door, without saying a word.

His eyes, hidden beneath his slightly long bangs, were eerily calm.

Wang Hao stood up, walked up to Shen Lesheng, and whispered menacingly in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Shen Lesheng, I've been wanting to get back at you for a long time."

Wang Hao's eyes gleamed with undisguised jealousy and resentment: "That bitch Lin Xue, I've been chasing her for three whole years! But that slut would rather spend all her time with a poor wretch like you than even glance at me!"

Wang Hao chuckled and dusted off his hands: "Aren't you curious why you weren't selected for the prize money the last few times?"

"That's right, it was me. I just made a casual phone call and secured your spot!"

"Remember this: as long as I'm in this school, you're not graduating smoothly. In my eyes, someone like you, with no money and no connections, isn't even worth as much as a stray dog ​​on the street."

That's all.

Wang Hao sneered and swaggered out of the dormitory with his two henchmen.

Their unrestrained laughter echoed down the corridor.

……

Dead silence.

Shen Lesheng was the only one left in the entire dormitory.

He didn't fly into a rage, didn't become hysterical, and certainly didn't chase after them and attack them as if he had lost his mind.

He simply stood there quietly.

He understood the cost of impulsiveness better than anyone else.

If I chase after them and assault them now, all I'll get is a summons to the detention center and expulsion from school.

If you appeal to the college, Wang Hao's money and power are enough to erase everything, and you might even be bitten in return, ruining your reputation.

Shen Lesheng closed his eyes, his thin body trembling slightly.

He discovered that the bottom line and rules he had adhered to for more than 20 years were meaningless in the face of power and wealth.

His proud rational planning, his step-by-step efforts to change his life.

Under the oppression of secular classes, they are truly like a pile of loose sand, ready to crumble at the slightest touch.

Extreme anger and resentment.

In his heart, it was like wild grass, intertwining and growing wildly.

a long time.

Shen Lesheng slowly opened his eyes and stopped trembling.

He squatted down expressionlessly, stretched out his hands, and prepared to pick up the broken computer fragments and shattered pieces of his hard work on the ground.

And when the backpack on his shoulder touched the ground.

"Clatter".

A dark envelope slipped from the backpack and fell to the ground.
