It was midnight when Seber left Star City. He was driving his car under the starlight, and there was a torrential downpour in the sky. The pitter-patter of the raindrops against the car had a special rhythm to it. The black off-road vehicle sped along the road towards Central City. It would take him at most three hours to reach Central City.
Yao Fei's matter had been resolved, and the possibility of Oliver lying to him was not high. Especially after he gave away Yao Fei's relics, the possibility of this was infinitely close to zero.
He wore a special Bluetooth headset in his ear, and he dialed a 13-digit phone number on his phone. After seven transfers, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Saber?"
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Quan. How is my friend?"
He said softly, "I found Oliver and forced him to tell me the truth. If he didn't lie to me, Yao Fei really died in the hands of those mercenaries …"
"This … this is impossible!"
Mr. Quan's voice was filled with frustration, but the next moment, Saber changed the topic.
"Yes, it's indeed impossible … Oliver revealed more information. Those mercenaries are from Mandalin, the subordinates of your opponent, Master Man. The playboy saw with his own eyes that Yao Fei was seriously injured by an evil dragon that rose from the sea. In the end, he died on Purgatory Island. It is said that the dragon was Master Man's pet … and they were trying to snatch a certain precious item."
"Ten Abstinences?"
Mr. Quan's voice became a little more serious. He was silent for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I got it. Thank you for everything you did for Yao Fei. Now, you are our friend."
"Wait, there are two more things I need to tell you."
Saber stepped on the accelerator, and the roaring car engine once again erupted with a beast-like roar. The speed was increased to the maximum, like a steel behemoth tearing through the dark sky.
"First, Yao Fei has a daughter, Xiao Nan. It is said that she was captured by Mandalin's subordinates. This is your problem. I still have some things to do, so I can't leave for the time being."
Mr. Quan's voice became shocked.
"Xiao Nan? She has always been in the Heavenly Sword Grid … Wait! Are you sure that Xiao Nan was captured on Purgatory Island? "
When Saber heard this, a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, looks like the enemy has infiltrated your ranks. What a shame … Mr. Quan, Oliver is willing to guarantee with his life that he saw Lil 'Nan being taken away by those mercenaries with his own eyes."
"Okay, I got it. What's the second thing?"
There was a hint of killing intent in Mr. Quan's voice, which made Saber feel a chill on his neck. It seemed that someone was going to be in trouble.
Seiber glanced at the bow that was placed on the passenger seat and said softly, "That's right.
"Yao Fei's belongings are with me. Do you want me to send them to you through international express delivery? Or should we use the safer sea route? "
"Is it that bow?"
Mr. Quan immediately guessed what it was. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Xiao Nan is the only girl left in the Yao Fei family. She's not an expert in archery, so I'll take that bow as your reward for completing this task."
He was silent for a few seconds, then he spoke again.
"However, I have to remind you, Saber, that bow is a little special. If you're not a recognized person, don't force yourself to draw the bow. Otherwise, your soul will be injured by the consciousness residing in it … Although it may not be a big problem for you, it will still be very troublesome."
"Wait!"
Saber interrupted Mr. Quan. "You can't draw the bowstring if you're not recognized? Looks like this bow already has a new owner … I saw Oliver kill enemies with it with my own eyes, and that guy is related to the Shadow Dancer Alliance. "
"Hmm … If that's the case, then please send it over!"
Mr. Quan was silent for a moment, then he made a decision. "Since Oliver is not that trustworthy, then we can't support the enemy. Remember this address and use EMS … Bzzt …"
"Hello? Hello? "
A shrill electromagnetic sound suddenly came from Saber's earpiece. He could not hear Mr. Quan's words at all. It was as if the local magnetic field had suddenly become chaotic. The next moment, he lost control of the car he was sitting in. For a moment, Saber subconsciously clenched his fists. He thought that Magneto, who had regained his freedom, was lying in ambush here.
However, in the next moment, Saber felt a strange force coming through the metal body of the car and landing on his body. It was as if he had been electrocuted.
He raised his head and let the off-road vehicle, which was speeding at top speed in the night, rush forward uncontrollably. For a normal person, this situation was fatal. However, for someone like Saber, it was not dangerous at all. He just raised his head instinctively. His Beast Sense was telling him that there was danger ahead.
"Boom!"
A dazzling white light suddenly tore through the curtain of rain in front of him. In Saber's eyes, he could even see a flash of red energy in the white light. It was like a blowout. There were also small lightning flashing around the light. It looked like a large electromagnetic bomb had been activated.
"What the f * ck!!!"
"Boom!"
It must have been a big explosion in the city ahead. After the light flashed, a substantial electromagnetic network rushed toward him. Saber could even feel the substantial energy field sweeping across his body. It made his hair stand on end, and his nerves were paralyzed. Finally, in the few seconds when the excessively powerful electromagnetic network swept across the car, his mind seemed to be stretched without limit, causing him to temporarily lose control of his body.
"Bang!"
The crooked car, which was speeding at top speed, made a chaotic turn and crashed into a rock by the side of the road. The front cover was knocked over. The car, which was covered in sparks, somersaulted crazily on the ground, and finally smashed into the ground in the opposite direction.
In less than two seconds, a crazy flame burst out from the car. The next moment, a loud explosion resounded in the night sky, almost tearing the car apart. Under such a heavy blow, Saber's head first hit the steering wheel, smashing a clear human face on it. Then, the airbag popped out and covered Saber's entire face. Finally, he was thrown out by the explosion.
If he was an ordinary person, any one of these three heavy blows would have killed him. Unfortunately, this bastard was not an ordinary person.
After a while, he struggled to get up. The dark energy enveloped his body, preventing the flames from burning his skin. However, after taking two steps in the rainy night outside, he felt that some instinct that had been dormant in his body was awakened again. It was very similar to the time when he first landed in Gotham, when he activated the devouring ability for the first time.
Hunger … Hunger … It was like a person who had been starving for hundreds of years, crazily wanting to devour everything.
"This … What the f * ck … What the f * ck is going on!"
He raised his hands and looked at the pulsing blood vessels in his hands, as well as the chaotic and uncontrollable energy in his body. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the night sky in front of him that had returned to darkness. All of this … All of this must be related to the sudden explosion just now!
"What the f * ck!"
He moved forward, but his body became weak. He flipped forward and fell to the ground, twitching. His consciousness and thoughts were on the verge of chaos. All of this happened too quickly!
The dark energy from Domumu seemed to have sensed its opportunity. Like a snake, it coiled around his body and headed for his heart and brain. Of course, Domumu didn't leave its power in his body out of good intentions. That was something Seiber already knew. However, the problem was that he couldn't reject it. He could only use this dangerous power cautiously to avoid being controlled by it.
However, in this situation where his consciousness was in chaos, he could not stop the invasion of the dark energy. He could only watch as the dark energy seeped into his heart. However, in this moment of despair, the crazy hunger that came from his bones seemed to have found food that made its eyes shine.
Like a Taotie with a big mouth, it bit at the dark energy wrapped around the surface of Saber's body. It was fierce, crazy, and unreasonable. It did not give the dark energy a chance to fight back. It grabbed it and stuffed it into its mouth.
Saber, who lost control of his body, felt a strange sense of satisfaction, but then came more, more!
It was not satisfied! It wanted more!!!
At that moment, Seiber finally understood what it was. It was the ability to devour. It was the ability of a mutant that was crippled by Stryker's experiment a few years ago. For some unknown reason, it was activated once again. This time, it was even crazier, greedier, and more bloodthirsty than before!
"Haha … Hahahaha!"
In the cold night rain, Saber's laughter spread far and wide, almost tearing the entire night sky.
"You want it? Very good! Here, I'll give it all to you! "
"Boom!"
The dark energy all over his body burst out, like a cocoon, wrapping Saber. The instinctive devouring monster, the beast hidden in his blood began to eat. Saber could feel the satisfaction and joy coming from his body. Most importantly, the energy that was eaten did not mean that it disappeared.
It was as if they had been transformed. After eating a part of the dark energy, they were transformed into a purer dark energy for Saber. Most importantly, the will from Domumu that was originally attached to the power was cleared, and it was truly transformed into Saber's own power.
Only this transformation efficiency was a bit low, about a 10: 1 ratio, but it didn't matter. Domumu lacked everything, but it didn't lack the dark energy that eroded everything.
But this was a long process, and the long march of thousands of miles had almost just begun. The greatest significance of the Devour restart for Saber was: At least before the 3-year agreement, Saber didn't need to worry about being ambushed by Domumu.
After lying on the ground for more than ten minutes in the rainy night, Saber gathered the chaotic power little by little. He got up from the ground, moved his body, walked to the side of the off-road vehicle that had completely lost power, reached out, opened the door, and took out all his things.
But now, he stood stupidly on the side of the road in the rainy night, looking left and right, there was not a single car on this lonely road, and he was now far away from Star City and Central City. He was almost awkwardly stopped in the middle of the two cities.
He picked up a cigar and smoked in the cold rainy night, patiently waiting for the first guy to pass by in front of him so that he could hitch a ride.
"Beep Beep"
Saber's luck was good. Thirty minutes later, he saw a car coming from the direction of Star City. It looked like a woman's car. He stood in the middle of the road, spread out his hands, and blocked the front of the car, using this very dangerous direction to force the car to stop.
"Bang"
The back door was pulled open. Seiber took off his cigar, held it in his hand, and blew out a mouthful of sandalwood smoke. He turned his head to look at the trembling female driver who was holding the pepper spray and taser in her hands. She had a slender figure and a pair of wine-red glasses.
"Hey, beauty, go to Central City, I'll pay the fare."
As he said that, he took off his rain-proof hood, revealing his face that wasn't very recognizable. Then, he heard the female driver exclaim.
"It's you! Saber Hawk! "
Saber raised his head and saw a very beautiful face from the rearview mirror. He felt that it was somewhat familiar. He quickly recalled his memory, and two seconds later, he also showed a smile.
"Ah, I'm so lucky. Nice to meet you … Beautiful Miss Felicity."
