Unlocking the Fourth Ability

Unlocking the Fourth Ability

Thinking of how the file said the kid only had the ability to absorb sunlight, he could not help feeling regretful and sighing.

With an ability that offered no support or combat effects, wouldn't he be in even greater danger if he went to the Brotherhood of Mutants? After all, wherever mutants gathered, danger always followed.

As he thought about it, he suddenly found it strange. How had this kid escaped with an ability that merely absorbed sunlight...

The thought only flashed through his mind before he forgot it, automatically coming up with a series of plausible explanations.

At that moment, his attention shifted to the teenager's physical examination report. Remembering the terrible information on it, he could not help sighing as he looked at the boy with pity.

He could only treat the kid better while he was still alive...

Clearly, he did not think Su Yao had long to live.

"Kid, what's your name? You can call me Chris." He handed the teenager a glass of water.

"Thank you." Su Yao took it. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Call me Su."

A strange look flashed through Chris's eyes. Didn't the file say the kid was named Kevin? Why was he calling himself Su? Thinking that the kid was probably trying to hide his identity, Chris gave him a meaningful look and did not dwell on it.

"You know about your physical condition, right?" Chris touched his forehead, took some medicine from the bedside table, and handed it to him. "You're still running a fever. These are fever reducers, and also..."

As Su Yao thanked him, he secretly sighed.

Of course he knew about his physical condition. Even now, he could still feel dizzy and feverish, his limbs sore, weak, and powerless. Only the sunlight shining in through the window made him feel a little better.

Seeing the remaining lifespan displayed above, he frowned, finally understanding why that burly middle-aged man had been looking at him that way.

"Only twenty-two days left?"

Su Yao frowned deeply, confusion appearing in his eyes.

Logically speaking, even if yesterday's injury and fever had severely damaged his vitality, it should not have shortened his lifespan by so much! What exactly did those bastards do to my body?

Recalling those experiments, his expression could not help turning ugly.

Noticing Chris had left the room, he impatiently pulled the file from his pocket and flipped through it under the sunlight.

Soon, under the experimental report section, he found information that made his blood run cold.

Those people had actually used his body tissue to cultivate all kinds of Cancer Cells, then transplanted them back into his body! All just to test whether his body would reject them, and whether the energy absorbed by his sunlight-attracting Mutant Ability would affect the Cancer Cells! And aside from transplanting Cancer Cells, they had conducted various other harmful experiments as well, though none had caused any side effects.

At that moment, he wished he could storm that Experimental Base and reduce it to ashes, making every single person there experience despair! Su Yao did not know what to do.

Obviously, those Cancer Cells had taken effect in his body! "What do I do..." In his panic, his eyes sharpened, and his gaze shifted to the panel.

"No, I still have a chance!"

Looking at the various abilities displayed there, hope appeared in his eyes.

As long as he kept improving, an ability that could save his life would eventually appear! With that thought, he hurriedly invested all his Energy Points into Unlock Progress.

The next second, Unlock Progress jumped from 34% to 39%! A pleasant notification sounded.

Ability: God Finger (Unlocked)

"This is..."

Following his instinct, Su Yao raised his right hand and pointed forward.

God Finger Experience +1

Ability: God Finger (1/100), Level 1

Hmm? Seeing that nothing had happened, he thought of something and used God Finger again, this time pointing at the glass in his left hand.

God Finger Experience +1

In an instant, space shattered like a mirror, and a powerful impact suddenly erupted! Bang! The glass exploded like rain, and the tremendous force sent the shards flying at an astonishing speed like bullets! With a series of puffs, pieces of glass embedded themselves into the wall, a horrifying sight.

"Hiss..."

As he covered his cut hand, Su Yao was shocked by the power of God Finger.

If that hit someone in the chest, wouldn't it shatter their breastbone and send them flying? "And this is only Level 1..."

Though the shattered space was only the size of a baby's fist, the force it caused was more than enough. Humans were fragile, after all! "Now I can stop people from getting close."

With Space Teleportation to evade attacks at critical moments, Black Particle for long-range attacks, and now God Finger to stop people from getting close, his sense of security instantly soared! Just as Su Yao was savoring that feeling, the door flew open with an urgent sound, accompanied by a loud voice.

"What happened?"

After opening the door, Chris first glanced at the teenager to make sure he was unharmed, then quickly swept his gaze around the room before being stunned by the sight before him.

A pile of glass shards was embedded in the white-painted wall! "Kid, how did you do that?" he asked in shock.

"Cough, cough..." Su Yao coughed awkwardly and forced out an explanation. "I was in a bad mood and thought of something unpleasant, so I smashed the glass against the wall, and it ended up like this."

"Sorry for causing you trouble. I'll clean it up later."

"Is that so?" Not only was Chris unconvinced, suspicion flashed through his eyes.

No matter how he looked at it, the glass shards in the wall did not seem like something a glass smashing into the wall could cause.

Even if it could, how much strength would that take? He glanced at the teenager's thin arm, then at his own muscular arm, and remained skeptical.

Thinking that, he nodded on the surface, pretending to believe him. "Kid, if you can stand, remember to come downstairs for breakfast later."

With that, he turned, closed the door, and headed downstairs. He picked up the laptop on the table and began operating it.

Looking at the surveillance footage displayed on it, he could not help hesitating.

As a mutant, he had naturally installed surveillance cameras throughout his house for his own safety, to prevent unexpected situations.

He truly had not expected that one day he would use the cameras to watch a kid's privacy.

So, he hesitated.

After quite a while, he still could not suppress his curiosity. After pausing the recording and generating the video file from before, he clicked into it.

Starting from the moment he left the room, the footage slowly began to play.
