Chapter 12

Chen Hao woke up groggily from the sofa.

He subconsciously walked toward his bedroom.

He had a habit of releasing water in the morning.

Although the living room also had a bathroom, Chen Hao preferred the toilet in his own bathroom.

This is the same logic as some people being picky about their beds.

Just as he opened the door, a fist hit him.

Chen Hao hurriedly blocked.

Bang!

He was hit and flew backward.

Fortunately, he had a habit of exercising, so he quickly adjusted his posture and stabilized his body.

"Ability user? Are you an ability user?"

Looking at Chen Hao, who had been hit by her, Tian Wenjing was somewhat surprised.

"No, that shouldn't be!"

"I've seen your file; you shouldn't have awakened an ability."

"You are a Beast!"

Tian Wenjing muttered to herself, and soon, her expression became ferocious.

"Go to hell."

"You crazy woman, I kindly saved you."

"And you return kindness with enmity!"

Hearing Chen Hao's foul language, Tian Wenjing not only didn't feel angry, but a flash of joy crossed her face.

She knew she might have misjudged the situation.

She hurriedly took out an instrument from her waist.

After pressing the switch on the instrument, Tian Wenjing let out a sigh of relief.

Because this instrument had no effect on Chen Hao.

"You are not a Beast."

"It seems you awakened an ability later on."

Tian Wenjing's face was pale; she had already been heavily injured.

The battle just now made her even weaker.

She said to Chen Hao weakly, "Come in, let's have a good talk."

Saying this, she walked shakily to the bedside.

Chen Hao followed her in.

To prevent disturbing his grandfather, Chen Hao closed the door.

"I'm really sorry about what just happened."

"I'm a bit curious; you clearly hadn't awakened an ability before, so how do you have one now?"

"I don't know either," Chen Hao waved his hand.

"After the awakening ceremony that day, I went back and slept, and then I had it the next day."

"Then since you have an ability, why didn't you tell the teacher?"

"According to the rules of the Dragon Kingdom, every ability user must be registered."

"D-grade and above, including D-grade, or those below D-grade but possessing aggressive abilities, must undergo specialized training."

"And then serve the country."

"I'm just a common citizen; I'm not interested in that."

"I just want to guard my family's funeral home, earn a little money every day, and provide for my grandfather's old age and funeral."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Tian Wenjing's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"You're done asking, right?"

"Now it's my turn."

"What is the Beast you just mentioned?"

Hearing this, Tian Wenjing began to recount.

"In this world, there is an organization called the Scorpion Brigade."

"The Scorpion Brigade is very powerful, and they have a common characteristic: they have a black scorpion tattoo on their bodies."

"Most of the members in the Scorpion Brigade are heinous people."

"Most of them are ordinary people who later plunder other people's ability beads."

"And then they become ability users."

"However, plundering other people's ability beads comes at a price."

"That is, the body will slowly be devoured by the ability bead."

"We divide those who plunder ability beads into two categories."

"Those who plunder mental ability beads are called Voids, and those who plunder physical ability beads are called Beasts."

"I encountered a Beast last night, and after fighting him, I fought to the death to kill him."

"And I myself was heavily injured because of this."

Chen Hao heard this and nodded.

When Tian Wenjing and the werewolf were fighting last night, he was right next to them, proving that what Tian Wenjing said was not false.

Tian Wenjing had recovered a bit at this moment.

She said to Chen Hao with an apologetic face, "Sorry, I was injured last night."

"I had nowhere to hide, so I ran to your place."

People in times of crisis will subconsciously hide in familiar places because they will feel more secure.

Tian Wenjing had been to Chen Hao's house before, so when she saw that the window of Chen Hao's room wasn't closed, she subconsciously used her ability to fly in.

And at that time, there was no one in Chen Hao's room.

Chen Hao heard this and felt speechless.

He lived on the eleventh floor.

Chen Hao couldn't understand how the other party got in.

Could it be that she really flew in?

Regarding this, he didn't delve into it.

Tian Wenjing continued, "I'm curious, what ability did you awaken?"

"It looks a bit like strength enhancement."

It must be said that Tian Wenjing's eyes were somewhat sharp.

However, regarding this, Chen Hao already had his own explanation.

"It's not strength enhancement, but a special ability—【Mimicry】."

Back at school, Chen Hao had read the Ability Encyclopedia.

He possessed the ability of photographic memory, so he understood all the abilities inside.

【Mimicry】 has only been awakened by one person so far.

The effect is that it can mimic other people's abilities, but the effect produced is only one-tenth of the other person's.

"Mimicry?"

Tian Wenjing was relatively unfamiliar with this ability.

However, she had a mobile phone and a place to specifically look up information.
