Chapter 805 Encounter Again
When Zhu Erniu was in his teens, he accidentally hurt his finger, and the blood happened to seep into the Crystal Necklace. He then fell into a coma for three days and nights. Upon waking, he discovered his 'uniqueness,' gradually growing into a Superpower User.
"This necklace contains a powerful force, but I've absorbed very little from it, because each time I do, I get a very peculiar feeling, as if I'm being controlled by someone." Zhu Erniu looked at the Crystal Necklace with an extremely fearful expression.
Lin Mo frowned. He had indeed sensed a thick evil aura from the Crystal Necklace earlier, similar to the aura on the Bloodstained Bible.
"Luckily, you didn't rely too much on this necklace; otherwise, you'd have ended up like Francis." Lin Mo spoke up.
Zhu Erniu widened his eyes and said, "Do you mean Francis had such a thing by his side too?"
"Yes." Lin Mo nodded, "Francis absorbed a lot of this eerie power, which gave him stronger abilities than yours, but he also paid with his life. Even if I hadn't killed him, he would have eventually been consumed by the strange energy within his body."
Zhu Erniu had absolute trust in Lin Mo's words. During the battle in Firebird Canyon, he had indeed noticed Francis's eyes were bloodshot, glowing with a demonic red light.
"Lucky I didn't overly rely on this necklace," Zhu Erniu was evidently quite shaken.
"Bloodstained Bible, Magic Box, Crystal Necklace? Why do they all share the same evil aura, and even have some residual Divine Thought within them?"
Lin Mo frowned, pondering.
He didn't believe in the existence of God; gods were nothing more than more powerful humans.
The Divine Thought left in these objects was clearly left by a powerful 'cultivator.'
Zhu Erniu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly showed a mysterious look and said, "Mr. Lin, there's something I want to tell you."
As he spoke, Zhu Erniu glanced around, evidently afraid of being overheard.
Seeing this, Lin Mo waved his hand casually, creating a soundproof barrier around them. "Go ahead, what is it?"
"This is something I heard about. In the age of Western godly society, there was once a legend that Lucifer from Hell came to the human world, intending to rule it. But in the end, the Archangel Gabriel appeared and drove him back to Hell, leaving behind several items stained with his blood,
predicting his return to the human world," Zhu Erniu said with a serious expression.
Lin Mo thought of the scenes he had seen when his Divine Thought explored the Bloodstained Bible and the Magic Box. Could it be that those were scenes of Lucifer coming to the human realm and having a fierce battle with Gabriel, even involving earthly countries?
But as for Hell and angels, Lin Mo never believed in them. Whether it was Lucifer or Gabriel, they were nothing more than powerful beings. There were no gods in the world.
"These objects tainted with Lucifer's blood left on earth, could they hold some secret?"
Lin Mo vaguely sensed the whiff of a conspiracy.
However, Lin Mo couldn't make sense of it now, so he simply chose not to think about it. Looking at Zhu Erniu, he said, "Are you giving me the Crystal Necklace? Surely you have some request, don't you?"
Lin Mo never believed there were things that came for free in the world. Zhu Erniu voluntarily offering the Crystal Necklace couldn't be without reason.
"Mr. Lin, you are wise. I do have a favor to ask of you." Zhu Erniu bent low and cupped his hands in respect.
"What is it?"
Lin Mo asked calmly.
"I have an enemy who's been chasing me, and I hope Mr. Lin could help me in dealing with them," Zhu Erniu said slowly.
"Who is hunting you?" Lin Mo asked indifferent.
Although he wanted the Crystal Necklace, he wouldn't help Zhu Erniu with just any request.
"He is also a Superpower User. Three years ago, I took some Energy Crystals from him, and he has been looking for me since." Zhu Erniu revealed.
Lin Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through his pupils, "Is that so? With your ability, unless it's an SS Level Superpower User or some Vigorous Martial Artists, they wouldn't threaten you, right?"
Zhu Erniu said, "That guy also has a twin brother, and both are SS Level Superpower Users. I stand no chance against them alone, so I hoped Mr. Lin could help deal with them at once."
"Hmm, I happen to be staying here for a few days, waiting for Tang Rulong to deliver the Energy Crystals." Lin Mo nodded.
"Then I'll leave you to rest, Mr. Lin." Zhu Erniu cupped his hands again, turned, and left the room.
But just as he left the room, a barely noticeable but sinister glint flashed in Zhu Erniu's eyes.
"Playing games with me?"
After Zhu Erniu left, Lin Mo took out the Crystal Necklace, and a faint milky white light emerged from his palm, enveloping the Crystal Necklace. Instantly, black mist began to rise from it.
This mist was extremely condensed, writhing like a small snake, but it was always trapped within Lin Mo's Spiritual Energy, unable to break out.
Lin Mo let out a small snort, too curious about what tricks Zhu Erniu was up to. With a grip of his hand, the small snake of Black Fog in his palm instantly turned into black ashes.
Meanwhile, after leaving the room, Zhu Erniu returned to his own room, standing by the window without the panic from earlier. Instead, he had a very sinister smile on his face: "Lin Tanyu, you are strong indeed, but your life will end here."
Saying this, Zhu Erniu extended his index finger, drawing a bird on the transparent glass window in front of him. His fingertip emitted pure white ice crystal, and suddenly, a pure white bird made of ice crystal flew away from the glass, transforming into an ice bird heading into the distant sky.
To wait for Tang Rulong's Energy Crystals and to see what trick Zhu Erniu was up to, Lin Mo did not leave Las Vegas, opting to stay and live in a hotel instead.
However, Tang Rulong and Tang Ruhu left Las Vegas first, as affairs of the Tang Sect still needed them to preside over.
"Hey, you... wait a moment."
Lin Mo originally planned to go out for a walk, buy some things to take back to give Xia Mengdie and his mother when he heard a gentle voice from behind just as he left the hotel entrance.
"Hmm?" Lin Mo frowned, turning his head suspiciously.
Tang Yitong had left Las Vegas with Tang Rulong; he didn't know any other women here.
When Lin Mo turned around, he saw a girl standing behind him, wearing a brown long coat over a white shirt and a white skirt below, with white sneakers on her feet. She seemed to have a bit of a literary and gentle look. "It's you?"
