I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

However, some of the pain was diluted by the ice, but what was even more tormenting was the brain.

Countless images flowed through Lu Ban's field of vision.

Running winter wolves, glass flowers blooming in the mud, charred corpses on the attic, death, despair, and a madness deeper than despairing death, all spun and leaped across Lu Ban's cerebral cortex.

Lu Ban couldn't even close his eyes.

At that moment, the last amulet emitted a light.

The light was soft and warm, which greatly relieved the coldness on Lu Ban's body. He felt a warm sensation flow through his body and into his flesh and blood, and he became peaceful and serene.

He closed his eyes, and his heart, the book, and the amulet all turned into streams of light and merged into his body.

Finally, everything returned to calm, and Lu Ban opened his eyes.

Countless pieces of knowledge flowed into Lu Ban's brain, altering its deep structure, and he materialized his [last words].

As you can see, the surface of this revolver has some more complex inscriptions, and the overall shape has become thicker and more solid, making it look more like a hand cannon.

With a thought, the revolver's structure suddenly began to move, disassemble, and reassemble, eventually transforming into the shape of a pen.

This is a silver fountain pen, slender, with a sharp nib that seems capable of tearing paper.

Lu Ban took out a sheet of A4 paper for printing and wrote a word on it with the pen.

【steel】.

As soon as he finished writing that one word, he felt a subtle change in the A4 paper.

Picking it up, Lu Ban found the paper had become unusually hard, like an extremely thin sheet of steel. Lu Ban gently ran his hand along the edge of the paper, cutting his skin and causing blood to gush out. Green grass quickly covered the wound, healing it.

After waiting for a while, the words gradually disappeared, as if the ink had dried.

The paper regained its original softness.

Lu Ban wrote the character "steel" again, then picked it up.

After waiting for ten minutes, the paper remained as hard as iron and could not be bent.

When Lu Ban put it down, the text disappeared after a moment.

Lu Ban picked up his pen again and wrote a character on it.

【fire】.

The moment the words appeared, the paper suddenly burst into flames, the fire raging without wind and engulfing the entire sheet in the blink of an eye.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ban picked up his water glass and wrote on it with a pen.

He easily wrote a word on the ceramic water cup.

【cat】.

The next moment, the water glass suddenly seemed to come alive and jumped off Lu Ban's hand.

Four short legs extended from the outer wall of the cup, and the handle turned into a tail-like thing. The cup ran around the table twice, curiously looking outside the table.

Then, the cup leaped up, trying to jump onto the bed.

However, halfway through, the cup's four legs suddenly retracted, and it became the most primitive cup again.

Fortunately, Lu Ban reacted quickly and caught the cup in time, thus avoiding the fate of having to clean the room.

In a sense, Lu Ban had just reversed his fate.

After putting the cup back, Lu Ban thought for a moment and took out a piece of paper.

The text was written on it.

[Black Hole]

After he finished writing, the paper suddenly shrank, as if it had been crumpled into a ball by an invisible giant hand.

But it didn't turn into a real black hole as Lu Ban had imagined; it simply shrank into a hard little ball.

As the ink disappeared, the ball softened.

Lu Ban took out another piece of paper, thought for a moment, and wrote down two words.

【East Wind】.

The paper seemed to hesitate for a moment, waited for a while, and then suddenly flew out, drifting away to whoosh.

"There's no way to confirm it this way..."

Lu Ban glanced at Leica, who was dozing in the living room.

"Leica, catch me a mouse, live one."

Upon hearing this, the Corgi immediately jumped up, then transformed into a mixture of tentacles and eyeballs, disappearing into the toilet drain.

After a while, Lu Ban heard two barks and saw Leica carrying a mouse in its mouth, hopping and running towards him.

The mouse trembled, its tiny eyes filled with fear.

Lu Ban picked up the mouse and wrote a word on its body.

【die】.

The mouse suddenly started convulsing, and Lu Ban put it on the table. The small animal kept convulsing, as if it were in great pain.

But soon, the words disappeared, and the mouse recovered, its steps unsteady as it tried to escape.

Lu Ban wrote the word "death" on it again, and this time, he held the mouse down.

The rat trembled incessantly until it finally stopped moving, appearing to have stopped breathing.

Lu Ban released his grip and performed CPR on the mouse. The mouse twitched again and seemed to come back to life.

Just as it was at a loss and about to dart away, Lu Ban grabbed its tail, picked up the mouse, and threw it to Laika.

"Wang!"

Lyca squeaked, quickly bit the mouse, and chewed up its head with a snap, swallowing it whole in no time.

"I don't know what the effect will be on people."

Lu Ban took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the company.

Qin Tiantian was still playing games on the computer at the front desk, looking carefree.

She didn't even notice that Lu Ban was standing behind her.

She seemed to be playing a game similar to Werewolf, controlling her character to move between several rooms in search of a way to escape, while others were androids who were secretly hindering normal people from escaping.

Lu Ban took out the "Last Words" and wrote two words on Qin Tiantian's head.

【clever】.

"No, no, he's the wolf, he's the wolf! He was just pretending the whole time. I suddenly remembered, didn't he have a fire extinguisher? Why didn't he use it!"

Qin Tiantian seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration and shouted.

"That's pretty impressive."

Lu Ban said something.

"Holy crap, when did you get here?"

Qin Tiantian finally sensed Lu Ban. She hurriedly took off her headphones and almost jumped up.

"It probably started when you were trying to frame someone else."

Lu Ban said that he saw the words on Qin Tiantian's head gradually disappear.

"Please let me know next time..."

Qin Tiantian hurriedly put on her headphones again.

"What? You're saying I'm a wolf? Why are you saying I'm a wolf? How could I possibly be a wolf? I was just... uh, I was just spacing out, I wasn't pretending..."

It seems that clever minds have retreated from the high ground of intelligence.

Chapter 422 Genius

Lu Ban briefly summarized his new abilities.

Simply put, after the third refinement, the [Last Words] ability possessed the power to truly influence the world on its own.

If Lu Ban's previous abilities were all about repeating, then he was collecting things that already existed into speech bullets and launching them when needed.

Therefore, Lu Ban's "Last Words" now possess the ability to create.

By writing words, Lu Ban can assign corresponding attributes to things.

Write the character for "fire" on a piece of paper, and the paper will catch fire; write the character for "steel," and the paper will turn into steel.

As long as Lu Ban keeps touching the text, the effect will continue. However, if Lu Ban leaves the text, the text will disappear after a few minutes.

Of course, if the medium on which the text is written is damaged when the effect is produced, it cannot be restored.

Furthermore, when it comes to living beings, the effect of words is not absolute. Lu Ban can easily write "dead rat," but if it's a person, it might not be so simple.

It would be difficult to write the word "death" on a conscious human being and then hold their hand. If the person is unconscious or does not resist, then writing the word seems somewhat redundant.

When words give life to inanimate objects, they disappear after a while once they leave the land, unable to create true life.

The only problem is that Lu Ban has to write it by hand. He can't launch it remotely like the previous verbal bullets, or shout it out. Even if Lu Ban copies the words he wrote into a verbal bullet, it won't have the corresponding effect after being launched.

Fortunately, this pen, which can change shape according to its "last words," can write on anything, and this ability does not conflict with the use of other abilities, making it infinitely versatile.

Lu Ban was fairly satisfied.

He thought for a moment, then wrote two more words on Qin Tiantian's head.

【genius】.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore, I can't beat you guys."

Qin Tiantian quickly logged out of the game.

Before the words disappeared, Lu Ban hurriedly copied down a calculus problem for Qin Tiantian.

"Write down this math problem."

"what?"
