Chapter 395: Black Abyss Deep Sea
Hain.
A female Night Watcher, belonging to the Demon Hunt General Agency.
She was in her early twenties this year. Although young, she had actually been a member of the Demon Hunt General Agency for ten years, with considerable experience. However, her abilities could only be considered average, and so far, she had only achieved the “basic level.”
It was very likely that she would remain at the basic level for the rest of her life, unable to reach awakening.
In general, extraordinary individuals tend to progress faster during their earlier stages and at a younger age. As one grows older and spends more time mastering extraordinary powers, the potential to unleash further diminishes, and the speed of improvement becomes increasingly challenging.
Especially the first decade when humans acquire extraordinary powers, and the first fifty years when elves acquire extraordinary powers, are pivotal periods. Once the age of an extraordinary individual reaches old age, their abilities will generally remain unchanged thereafter.
Hain had no special talents. She was just an ordinary Night Watcher. But at this moment, she was being watched by Bai Yan and Mu Ling together.
She was also one of the Night Watchers who had been “possessed.” At least, according to the list provided by Ringi, her name was mentioned as “Hain.”
“Um… I am doing very well here.”
At this moment, “Hain” was lying on the couch, talking on the phone. Just a short distance away, Bai Yan and Mu Ling were standing together, secretly observing her every move.
Because Bai Yan possessed the power of Power Possession: Replication, using a powerful invisibility spell called “Veil,” Hain was completely unaware of the two of them.
“Oh, there are people with the surname Hai, how strange,” Bai Yan suddenly said.
Mu Ling stayed silent, simply standing quietly by the side.
“Speaking of which, the surname Mu is quite rare,” Bai Yan smiled, as if searching for a topic of conversation.
He didn’t usually have the inclination to initiate conversations with people. So far, he had only spoken to a few people, like Mu Ling and Maryse, on his own initiative.
Mu Ling nodded gently and, in all seriousness, explained, “Mu is indeed a rare surname. My ancestors were born and raised in Tatsumi City, and there were no famous individuals with the surname Mu before them. Later, she became a crime-hunter filled with glory… and she is also the only top-level powerhouse in my family to reach the Apocalypse level.”
Based on various information that Bai Yan already knew, and considering the summoning of Mu’s ancestral figure, “Dust of the Past,” during the First Doomsday Crisis…
Actually, Mu Ling was the reincarnation of her legendary ancestor.
However, even though they were both reincarnations, they were no longer the same person. Just like the Moon Witch and the Ultimate Witch were definitely different, whether it be in terms of personality, experiences, or even abilities, they had already become completely different.
Bai Yan nodded gently, sincerely admiring her. “The Mu family is truly awe-inspiring. For generations, they have been crime-hunters, protecting the innocent both now and in the future.”
“Hmm.” Mu Ling nodded, indicating her agreement. She continued, “The great Savior has given me the opportunity… enabling me to revive my family, granting me a chance to follow in the footsteps of that legendary ancestor.”
Yes, yes, yes, the Savior has been very kind to you.
Looking at the admiration in the girl’s eyes, Bai Yan had no idea what to say, so he simply smiled.
Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
What would happen if all the Core Operators of Babel Tower discovered the truth about him?
Mu Ling would probably be initially shocked for a long while. Eventually, she would still kneel down on the ground, expressing her continued loyalty while feeling bewildered.
Maryse might just crash, at least for an hour. Then, she would ask a lot of questions and remember the embarrassing incident when she was under control, angrily throwing a couple of punches.
The Scarlet Moon… would probably punch him first and ask questions later! That person bears a grudge!
Kaluoer, on the other hand, would probably have the least reaction. For her, “Lord” and “Savior” were both masters who gave orders. The only difference was that one was a superior and the other was a superior’s superior. After her true identity was exposed, it simply became a matter of one being a superior.
Absolutely no difference at all!
“Senior Profligate, what are you thinking about?” Mu Ling asked.
“Hmm, I’m just thinking about something else.”
Bai Yan shook his head, smiled, and didn’t explain what he was daydreaming about.
“Look.”
Mu Ling raised her finger and pointed to a place not far ahead.
It was the Night Watcher Hain, who had been “possessed.” Bai Yan had actually already noticed her odd behavior. The fake “Hain” that had replaced the real one was acting strangely.
The two of them observed for a long time, and finally, they caught a flaw in Hain’s actions.
She took out a pitch-black, special talisman from an ordinary iron box.
Just as Mu Ling described in the Babel Tower meeting, it was a talisman surrounded by several pitch-black fingers covering an eye. The closed eye seemed alive. Just by glimpsing it for a moment, it had the power to make people feel the strangeness contained within.
Unable to describe, yet undeniably terrifying. Bai Yan furrowed his brow slightly, feeling uneasy despite being accustomed to such things.
“What is this thing?”
Mu Ling furrowed her brow, pondering. She had never seen anything like this before, at least not in the knowledge passed down among crime-hunters.
“Perhaps it is related to the Black Abyss Deep Sea,” Bai Yan suddenly answered.
Mu Ling was momentarily taken aback.
Black Abyss Deep Sea.
One of the twenty-seven Outer Gods.
It represents the twenty-first hour of each day. In the vast multiverse, fear and curses originate from the Black Abyss Deep Sea. The former is the most intense negative emotion, while the latter is the most enigmatic form of supernatural power.
Mu Ling pondered for a moment and said, “Black Abyss Deep Sea… I don’t know much about Him, because as far as I know, there are no followers who believe in Him in Noah’s world.”
Suddenly, she pointed at “Hain.”
Mu Ling noticed her kneeling on the ground, holding a strange black talisman in her hands, quietly whispering a prayer. The language was unknown—like the cries of ancient and otherworldly creatures, sending a chilling sensation down one’s spine.
Mu Ling stored these sounds deep within her heart.
“Something is about to come out,” Bai Yan quietly spoke, giving a gentle reminder.
The black talisman trembled.
Just then, Hain suddenly let out a silent scream, her face contorted with fright, her body trembling!
She tore open her own abdomen with both hands, spilling forth an increasing amount of darkness from within!
A wave of fear washed over them. Even Mu Ling, whose will was as strong as iron, had to hold her breath and remain still.
Bai Yan gazed at the thing crawling out from the darkness. He instinctively wanted to reach out and calm Mu Ling but hesitated and withdrew his hand.
“Here they come!”
