Damn it … Why are there so many monsters in this world all of a sudden …
Those guys from Olympus should be dead by now, right? Just now, from the corner of his eyes, he had clearly seen that the ordinary-looking young man had merely stomped his feet and caused a near-A-class earth-type ability user to suffer a mental backlash, turning him into a cripple. That was an effect that could only be produced by crossing two levels of mental power. In other words, that seemingly harmless young man was most likely an S-class fellow … So young …
But in comparison, the other girl who looked like she was only ten years old was the real monster.
He was obviously such an unremarkable little brat, yet he was able to beat up a [B +] rank Enhanced Physique User like him so badly …
Thinking back to the little girl who pounced on him like a little lunatic and threw him a hundred meters away, the black man who was running for his life shuddered.
He was a physical enhancer! A physical enhancer who could smash a big hole in the front armor of a main battle tank! Yet, a ten-year-old girl had smashed his left arm into a comminuted fracture. Her strength must be at least A-level!
If it wasn't for the fact that his opponent was just an inexperienced child who had innate divine strength but could only randomly attack him, he would have definitely been beaten to death today.
As for the three subordinates he brought with him … There was no need to think about them. Unlike the Olympians who used special means to obtain a large number of ability users, the organization he belonged to did not have that many ability users to waste. Therefore, the three people he brought with him this time were just ordinary people who had received special training. Although they were much stronger than ordinary people, when faced with an ability user, especially a violent one with strong melee combat ability, they would be one-sidedly slaughtered …
The speed of a physical enhancer running at full speed was not to be underestimated. Although a dozen broken bones had affected the black man's speed, he still saw the highway in the distance in less than ten minutes.
Of course, he couldn't return to the city now. This was the territory of the ability group. Coupled with the power of the local government, he would be caught as soon as he approached the suburbs. The highway ahead was actually the escape route that he had considered in case of an accident. Unfortunately, the car that he drove had become a pile of scrap metal when the violent little girl used it as a weapon to smash him. This time, he could only rob a random car.
To pull a car off the highway with one's bare hands, only a physically enhanced person with immense strength could do that.
But before that, he needed to rest.
Although he still had physical strength, the broken bones and muscles all over his body had to be repaired as soon as possible. Otherwise, there might be irrecoverable damage left behind. Moreover, with the current state of his body, he had already reached his limit …
Although he knew that it was very dangerous to stop in this situation, he had no choice but to recover as soon as possible.
Although he had already experienced quite a number of plots, due to a certain someone's laziness, he still hadn't obtained a name and was only described as a passerby for a long time. Hugging his injured left arm, he came under a big tree that had withered for who knew how long. Laboriously sitting on the ground, he clenched his teeth, crushed the bones of his left forearm that had already begun to deform, and began to repair it from the beginning.
The familiar prickling sensation gradually spread from every wound on his body. His muscles involuntarily tightened as hard as cement for a moment, and then gradually relaxed.
"What is this?"
As the wound healed quickly, the black man tried to find something to distract his attention, and he found it. In the soil beside him, he found a small piece of white paper that was half buried.
"A child's graffiti?"
After digging out the paper from the soft ground, the black man looked at the crooked circle on it and muttered to himself.
In the temporary headquarters a few kilometers away, the elder sister, who was leisurely enjoying tea with Miss Lin, immediately shivered. Then, she revealed a dangerous smile and narrowed her eyes. "I suddenly feel like someone said something very rude …"
I had just returned with Bubble via a 700 billion hyperspace jump, but I was still unable to prevent the last piece of dessert from falling into Lin Xue's clutches. I immediately felt the temperature around me plummet by more than ten degrees. It seemed that someone was going to be the unlucky one this time …
Just as Bubble and I sat down to catch our breath, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Xue immediately switched to her serious mode and sat up straight. "Come in."
The NPC who had appeared a few times already appeared in front of us. "Reporting to Captain Lin, we may have found traces of the target!"
"Possible?" Lin Xue frowned and looked at him with dissatisfaction. "Why didn't you go over to confirm?"
"… This …" The NPC man hesitated for a moment, then reported truthfully, "Five minutes ago, an area with a radius of 100 meters near Route 77 was struck by a strong lightning strike, a small-scale earthquake, a sudden tornado, acid rain, hail, a mini meteorite attack, and … and the sudden appearance of …"
"A large number of hornets, venomous snakes, galloping horses, etc. Large scale wild animal riots … I understand. After a few minutes, we will send someone to see if that guy is still alive …"
"To be honest, I think he should be dead."
After waiting for the NPC to leave, I spread my hands and said to Lin Xue helplessly.
"Don't underestimate the vitality of a physically enhanced person. Alright, I also think that guy is dead for sure. No matter how I look at it, this mini meteorite thing is a little exaggerated."
"It seems that the power of the Beacon of Calamity is extraordinary. I have clearly weakened the power of the curse …" The older sister showed an apologetic smile. "It could also be because of the two curses stacking together. After all, I used a long-range curse to give the guy a hint that he will come into contact with the Beacon of Calamity soon. But speaking of which, the two curses stacking together shouldn't be enough to attract a meteorite …"
No one could have imagined that all of this was the result of a certain tragic African uncle's careless mouth.
Ten minutes later, we received a very unexpected news: the guy who escaped was still alive.
After experiencing lightning strikes, earthquakes, storms, meteorites, snakes, and a large group of animals, he was still alive …
A member of the ability group reported to us with a strange expression. "His agility is extremely high, so he successfully avoided most of the disasters, including lightning strikes and the most fatal meteorites. However, he could not avoid the tornado and acid rain, which damaged ninety percent of his skin and surface muscles. When we found him, he was poisoned, and all his bones were broken. His internal organs were broken in many places under the trampling of a large land animal that weighed more than five tons … To be honest, we have no idea what kind of ability attack could achieve such an effect …"
Our evaluation of this was: Physically enhanced people are really tough!
There were a total of two captives. One was an Olympian whose ability had been destroyed by me, and the other was a black man who was tortured by the older sister's curse. Both of them had some status in their respective organizations. Although they were far from being high-ranking members, they were definitely qualified to know some secrets that low-ranking members couldn't. Soon, we got what we wanted.
I have to say, in terms of torture … Ahem, in terms of interrogating criminals, the ability group's experts were indeed much more brilliant than my stupid soldiers who basically had no second thoughts other than fighting.
"Tower of Babel?!"
After receiving the confession from the captive, Lin Xue couldn't help but exclaim softly. Then, she slightly furrowed her brows.
I immediately became curious. This Tower of Babel must be the organization that the black man belonged to. The name sounded fierce, and judging from Lin Xue's expression, she must have known about the existence of the Tower of Babel. So, what did she know?
"Tower of Babel …" Lin Xue's brows were still furrowed. "I have heard of this organization, but I didn't expect them to be involved in this incident …"
This was the declaration of the Tower of Babel at the beginning of its establishment. This organization was founded thirty years ago. It is an organization that originated from Europe. It is made up of a small number of metahumans and a large number of ordinary people. Their purpose is the same as their declaration: to focus on discovery, archaeology, geology, astronomy, and deep-sea exploration. They are like a group of tireless explorers who take it upon themselves to discover the mysteries of this planet and even beyond it. In the first ten years, this organization has indeed made significant contributions to human exploration. Many precious cultural relics, geological landscapes, and outer space wonders were revealed to the world because of their efforts. "
"A public organization led by a metahuman?" I curiously interrupted Lin Xue's description. "That sounds good."
Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me, seemingly dissatisfied with my interruption. Then, she patted the documents in her hands and said, "Indeed, it's not bad. At least, it was before their original leader was killed by a table knife. Since ten years ago, this organization has begun to deteriorate. "
"With a new leader, the Tower of Babel has completely transformed into a huge smuggling group. They steal cultural relics, excavate ancient tombs, snatch precious meteorite samples, and smuggle anything that can be snatched and that some people want to buy at a high price. They even arrogantly announced that as long as it exists on Earth, as long as you can afford it, you can buy it from the Tower of Babel … Of course, we all know that it's illegal, but what's the point of it? Ordinary law has little binding force on metahuman organizations. Moreover, many large organizations have secret dealings with Tower of Babel. Under such a protection net, those smugglers, who have completely fallen in love with money, are now very happy. Now, do you still think that this organization is not bad? "
"Ugh … Alright, I take back what I said just now. What about the item that they traded this time? Did you get anything? "
"Regarding this, the vigilance of those fellows from Babbita has really exceeded our expectations. They actually hid it from their own people. From the black man, we only got the completely meaningless information that the thing is called 'God's Treasure'. More than that, even he doesn't know what the thing is used for and where it came from."
"Ugh, that's really bad. But didn't Olympus have three captives? They should at least know something, right? "
As soon as I mentioned this topic, Lin Xue suddenly became silent.
I have a … bad premonition …
"It's all your fault, you idiot!" After being silent for less than three seconds, Miss Lin exploded, "You idiot, you've ruined everything!"
Sure enough, my premonition was right …
"I told you to hold back! Don't you understand human language? Do you really need this young miss to translate for you?! Hold — Back — Ah!!! "
"Aren't the three members of Olympus still alive?"
I argued innocently.
"Alive … Of course they are alive …" Lin Xue clenched her teeth. "The problem is, why did you turn them into idiots and give them to me?!!!"
After hearing what Lin Xue said, I finally realized that I had gone too far. Under the mental backlash of more than two levels, the three unlucky members of Olympus had turned into idiots …
More importantly, the item in the metal cylinder that was used as the trade item between Olympus and Tower of Babel was evaporated by the void energy I released at the end …
"Ma ma …" I smiled awkwardly. "This … There will always be a chance. At least this time, we found a Tower of Babel. We have made great progress … Hey! Wait! Calm down! Restrain! Impulsiveness is the original sin of human beings!! "
