Chapter 5: Enhancement of Special Abilities

"How could that dilapidated cemetery have that kind of high-end equipment? Moreover, it was obvious that I saw it by the light of a flashlight just now, and it was impossible to project it at all. Yu Wensi said.

"It feels ...... Blame ......"

The two then fell silent.

A few minutes later, Yu Wensi suddenly said, "Maybe there are really ghosts in this village." I now kind of believe what McHaimai said that the men were dead. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Bofeng said fearfully.

But Yu Wensi didn't say another word.

After breakfast the next day, Shi Yuan went to the slope of the mound with Luo Yasen and Liu Tong.

Because of the uncertainty of Gatson, Shi Yuan didn't want to go out alone rashly, so the three of them were together.

This time, Shi Yuan planned not only to stand at the bottom of the hillside, but to walk among those tombstones.

He had a feeling that time was running out until the final test. If you want to deal with the dangers of the dark world, the stronger the special ability, the better.

"Be careful." Liu Tong said worriedly.

Shi Yuan nodded and walked towards the hillside.

Those tombstones looked as if they were shaking, and the names on them were shocking.

Most of those names are recognized.

But now, Shi Yuan got rid of all distracting thoughts in his mind and concentrated on improving his perception ability.

Standing between the tombstones, Shi Yuan felt a sense of horror.

It wasn't fear of the current environment, nor was it sadness because of the names, but an irrepressible, instinctive fear that came from a thick anomalous aura.

As long as you stand here, no matter how brave you are, you will inevitably feel like you will be cold in the middle of ice and snow.

It's not about the will.

Shi Yuan closed his eyes.

At the moment when the black curtain hit, he felt countless wandering ghosts scurrying around him, and a biting chill penetrated through the pores and deep into the internal organs.

However, he didn't even move, including his eyelids.

He unfolded his perceptual domain and "saw" the ghosts.

One by one, the ghosts who retained the tragic state of their deaths.

Most of them still look familiar.

A burst of ghost whispers pierced my ears, and it was a sound that was more unbearable than any sound.

Shi Yuan couldn't hear a single word.

Five minutes later, the chill had swirled in the internal organs and poured out of the pores again.

Then, Shi Yuan felt a burst of heat.

Immediately after that, there is a rapid improvement in perception ability.

It turns out that my method has been wrong!

No wonder the ascent is so slow, it's only because of the fear of danger that it has been stopped.

This is one of life's greatest sorrows.

Shi Yuan smiled unconsciously, and then concentrated on feeling and absorbing the abnormal aura here.

That's right, he can absorb those breaths.

The rate of perception improvement continues to accelerate. Soon, the range of his perception domain reached three hundred meters in diameter.

Although it was too small compared to Fang Yisheng's five kilometers, the abilities of the two were originally different, and they couldn't be compared like this.

Eventually, when the range of the Perception Domain reached a kilometer in diameter, he stopped.

Of course, the improvement of perception ability includes not only the range of the perception domain, but also the intensity of the perception ability.

The faint anomalous aura that could not be perceived before can now be felt very clearly.

For Shi Yuan, the world has changed again.

In his perception, there are countless ethereal threads in the air, just like the hairy blood vessels and nerve veins in the human body.

Once, he could only vaguely perceive these things, and the so-called "inky silk thread" was nothing more than a metaphor. But now, in his "eyes," these breaths are like real things.

It was already noon, and the three of them returned to Luo Yasen's house, and after lunch, they came to the vicinity of Ant Lake.

Liu Tong's ability has not yet been substantially improved, and this time, she decided to go deep into the lake.

Luo Yasen had already purchased a diving suit and diving equipment in Gravel Town, and handed them all over to Liu Tong.

"If there's anything out of the ordinary, shake the rope." Shi Yuan said.

Liu Tong, who dived into Ant Lake, felt a strange cold.

It felt like there were a lot of tears in the wetsuit, and countless unknown and moving cold objects rushed into it.

But when she looked down, she couldn't see anything unusual.

She's now in the water. The further down you go, the dimmer the light becomes.

Countless whispers came from nowhere, and Liu Tong felt like he was surrounded by ghosts.

But she didn't mean to back down.

Gritting her teeth, she continued to dive, diving to a place she had never been before.

Finally, she faintly saw the bottom of the lake, and she noticed that there seemed to be something there.

Suddenly, as if a lightning bolt struck her heart, Liu Tong trembled violently.

Is that......

A familiar pale face came into view.

"Mom......"

The tears burst in an instant, Liu Tong couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed to the bottom of the lake desperately.

However, the figure of the mother is always so far away.

The icy water calmed her down, and she finally understood that it was just an illusion.

Is it to torment me, or is it to test me?

Liu Tong unconsciously clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

When I opened it again, there was nothing but darkness around me.

However, the chill is gone.

A raging heat followed. Liu Tong didn't know where the heat came from, but she knew that her special abilities would be greatly improved.

It's the same as Shi Yuan.

"Unexpectedly...... That's it...... Shi Yuan, he will need such ability......"

Underwater, where no one could hear him, Liu Tong whispered to himself.

Before dark, Royasen's abilities were also greatly enhanced, and there was a fundamental change.

"In short, saving your life comes first." Luo Yasen also muttered to himself.

On this night, none of those who came to test their courage offered to go out.

It was the Fourth of September.

Shi Yuan helped Wen Yuzhe and the others prepare survival tools and backpacks, and then returned to his room and quietly waited for the moment when the mission began.

He had just spoken to Fang Yisheng on the phone, and when he learned that his special ability had slowed down after it had been improved to five kilometers, Shi Yuan was not surprised.

"I'll see you later."

At the end of the call, the two of them spoke.

The time came to eleven fifty. Looking at the zero point that was getting closer and closer, Shi Yuan felt a burst of nervousness.

No matter how many missions he goes through, he will be more or less nervous.

The fear of death comes from the attachment to life.

Even with special abilities and studs, there is no guarantee that you will survive every time.

To my ears, the sound of the second hand moving sounded deafening.

Finally, zero o'clock has arrived.

Only feeling that it was dark in front of him, Shi Yuan felt that his body instantly became lighter, as if his soul had left his body.

In just an instant, light reappeared in his world.

"Welcome, Xenometer Hotel."
