Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 551 - 511 Mysterious Tree Branch_1
Chapter 551: Chapter 511 Mysterious Tree Branch_1
In the middle of the villa district’s road, chaos reigned, with overturned cars, mutilated bodies, and smoke from gunfire visible everywhere.
The asphalt road was pocked with craters from grenades, and one might think they had arrived on a battlefield.
The battle between Special Ability Users and Law Enforcers was enough to shock the contemporary world.
Fortunately, operations targeting Special Ability Users were kept secret, and this brutal fight remained, to the outside world, as if it never happened.
Nangong Duoduo, seeing that the crisis outside had been resolved, quickly ran down with Qin Yimo and approached Lu Chuan.
"Lu Chuan, are you hurt? Let me see."
She circled Lu Chuan, carefully examining him.
After not finding any wounds, she leaned over his chest for a closer look.
"You’re completely unharmed, but didn’t you shoot yourself? When you fired the gun, it almost scared me to death."
She looked at Lu Chuan with a face full of concern.
"Aren’t I standing right in front of you? Now that the crisis is over, you don’t have to worry about safety anymore."
"I never expected that you, alone, would defeat over a hundred Special Ability Users. What exactly is that flame on your body?"
Nangong Duoduo looked at Lu Chuan with immense curiosity.
"It’s a special kind of flame that can harm enemies and also perform healing effects."
Yuk Jiao’e came over, "I see, it’s hard to imagine such a miraculous flame exists in this world. I’m very curious how you got it."
"Have the Law Enforcers sort this place out, it’s a mess, how is Qin Yimo supposed to live here now?"
Qin Yimo smiled awkwardly, "It’s okay, I’m planning to move." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
Yuk Jiao’e turned to look at White Tiger and said, "She’s already taking care of it. There are six more Special Ability Users who will be arrested for research and investigation."
"As for Chen Zhengqian, he seems to have died already."
She turned her head and saw Chen Zhengqian lying on the ground with a body riddled with holes, his eyes lifeless as he stared at the sky.
"Finally, his screams have stopped, he was about to drive me crazy."
Yuk Jiao’e said, while rubbing her ears.
"This guy managed to create so many Special Ability Users, he must have had some secrets. I want to investigate."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he walked towards Chen Zhengqian’s body.
If there were just two or three Special Ability Users, Lu Chuan could believe they had stumbled upon some techniques to control these special powers.
But the appearance of over a hundred all at once was a completely different matter.
Lu Chuan squatted in front of Chen Zhengqian’s body and carefully examined the corpse.
Nangong Duoduo and the others also stepped forward, looking at the body on the ground.
"The body is full of burn holes; it’s triggering my trypophobia," Qin Yimo said with a disgusted expression.
Lu Chuan noticed that Chen Zhengqian’s right hand was clutched tightly over his chest.
In the moments before death, one only thinks of the most important things.
The thing he was protecting even as he was dying must be extraordinary.
Lu Chuan reached out and moved Chen Zhengqian’s hand aside.
Then, reaching under the jacket, he touched something hard.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a metal box.
Lu Chuan took the box out, a dark, rectangular box that he held before his eyes.
"This box doesn’t look ordinary. Chen Zhengqian was protecting it even in death; there must be something fishy about it."
Lu Chuan said, and the people around him also gathered around.
"Perhaps, this item is the key to Chen Zhengqian’s creation of the Special Ability Legion."
Lu Chuan carefully opened the box and was struck to see that inside was just an ordinary-looking twig.
"A twig? Such a fine box just for a twig, carried close to the body? What trick is this guy playing?"
Yuk Jiao’e had a face full of question marks.
"If you look carefully, it seems this is no ordinary twig, there’s a faint sheen on it."
Nangong Duoduo concluded after a careful observation.
Lu Chuan raised his right hand and reached out towards the twig.
Just as his index finger was about to touch the twig, a sharp pain struck, causing Lu Chuan to retract his hand.
He faintly felt that as his index finger stretched towards the twig, a massive amount of energy surged towards him, trying to enter his body through his fingertip.
This energy was very special and as vast as the ocean, and once a connection was made, it would draw a continuous stream of energy from it.
Lu Chuan’s conclusion was that this seemed to be a product of compressed Spiritual Energy.
Storing astonishing Spiritual Energy in such a short twig, ordinary people who come into contact with it would find it difficult to withstand the immense influx of Spiritual Energy.
But if one could endure it, they would gain an amazing amount of Spiritual Energy from this twig, receiving a tremendous boost in strength.
Chen Zhengqian must have been taking this twig around, having one person after another try it out.
Those who could withstand the Spiritual Energy would control special abilities; those who couldn’t would explode and die on the spot.
Most people would not be able to withstand it unless they were very quick with their hands, withdrawing immediately upon touching the twig, and only absorbing a minuscule amount of Spiritual Energy.
The chances of this were extremely slim. It seemed Chen Zhengqian had killed quite a few people in his quest to create the Special Ability Legion.
"This thing is very dangerous, but I can confirm that Chen Zhengqian created his special ability army with this twig," he declared.
Upon hearing this, Yuk Jiao’e’s eyes lit up, "This item has such miraculous effects. If I use it to turn all the officers in the Law Enforcers into Special Ability Users, then wouldn’t there be no more bad guys in the world?"
Lu Chuan gave Yuk Jiao’e a look, shook his head helplessly, and countered, "If the world were full of Special Ability Users, then chaos wouldn’t be far off."
"I’ll take this twig."
Yuk Jiao’e quickly said, "Then, can I borrow it for a while? I want to create a few Special Ability Assistants."
"Really? Then prepare to sacrifice hundreds of people first, and then decide on finding Special Ability Assistants."
Yuk Jiao’e was startled by his words, "Sacrifice hundreds of people? Surely not?"
"Of course it’s true, otherwise why would Chen Zhengqian have only created just over a hundred Special Ability Users over so many years?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
They dared not imagine just how many people Chen Zhengqian had killed.
"Too terrifying, it’s a good thing this guy is already dead," Qin Yimo said, still frightened.
"I need to find out the origin of this twig, which tree it came from. It’s essential to figure that out."
Lu Chuan put away the box and turned to look at Nangong Duoduo, "Let’s go for now, leave this place to them."
Nangong Duoduo quickly nodded and went to get her sports car out.
Yuk Jiao’e looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Lu Chuan, leave your contact information. If I encounter a Special Ability User again, I can ask for your help."
Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "If you want to find me, just contact Duoduo. I’ll be leaving the States, and for the time being, you won’t be able to reach me."
Yuk Jiao’e immediately felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, somewhat reluctant to see Lu Chuan leave.
"I wish you a smooth journey ahead. I’ll be here waiting for you alone until you return," she said with a sigh of regret, her words implying that she would wait for Lu Chuan alone and not marry anyone else in her lifetime.
