"Contained Object: Bat Person" "Abilities: Bat Wings, Hibernation, High Temperature Tolerance, DNA Repair, Immune Regulation, Immortal Body (Incomplete)" "Comment: This is a Bat Person that cannot be killed."
Immortal Body (Incomplete): Immune to high temperatures; consumes stamina to regenerate at super speed.
DNA Repair: "Cells rapidly renew themselves."
Hibernation: "The body enters a deathlike state of hibernation that can last ten to twenty years."
Bat Wings: "Enters a high-speed flight state."
High Temperature Tolerance: "A constant body temperature naturally inhibits viral replication."
Immune Regulation: "The immune system remains continuously activated without overreacting, allowing coexistence with viruses."
After reading through the effects of every ability, Li Dan realized he had taken things for granted. This Immortal Body was actually different.
The other abilities, Immune Regulation and High Temperature Tolerance, were both good, but not essential.
Hibernation and DNA Repair were average. They could only be useful in specific circumstances.
Immortal Body was pretty good.
But Bat Wings was what he liked most.
After all, who could refuse high-speed solo flight?
No matter where he went, the skies could always avoid most dangers.
The only pity was that Bat Wings were rather ugly. Not just ugly—they were even worse than a vampire's.
The moment he appeared, people would definitely mistake him for one of the bad guys.
It would be perfect if they were Fallen Angel wings instead. Of course, that was just wishful thinking. A Fallen Angel was completely beyond what he could handle at this stage.
Even an ordinary angel would be a struggle.
"Extract."
Without hesitation, Li Dan triggered an instant extraction.
"Ability extracted: Immortal Body (Incomplete)."
That felt great. After extracting so many times, Li Dan had finally gotten what he wanted.
Although it was not Bat Wings, fusing with the Four of Clubs could still let him fly. It would just waste one combat asset.
Immortal Body greatly improved Li Dan's ability to tempt death. In certain future incidents, he could be much bolder without having to keep a contained object fused for protection at all times.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing the knock, Li Dan pulled on his pants, got out of bed, and opened the door.
Then, expressionlessly, he shut it again.
That kid Daley couldn't really be...
Knock, knock, knock.
Li Dan had already made up his mind. Since Daley was afraid to sleep alone, he would let the Soul Severing Clown sleep with him.
Click.
"Daley, you... Trish?"
"Hi, Li. You don't mind if I come in and sit for a while, do you?" Trish's face was rosy, and her skin after bathing was like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom—soft and dewy. Her golden hair fell casually over her shoulders, and he could vaguely see droplets of water sliding down her skin into the deep whiteness below.
Judging by her appearance, she had just finished showering. Her hair had not even dried yet.
"I don't mind." Li Dan stepped aside, curious why Trish had come to his room in the middle of the night.
Before Li Dan could say anything, Trish took the initiative to explain why she had come.
It turned out that, to prove he had not been lying, Daley had actually called the police station just to prove himself.
He had even searched for information online.
And he really found some. Those passersby who had been watching the spectacle had filmed it and uploaded the footage online.
However, the videos had only spread within a small circle. Before long, even the websites hosting them were urgently shut down.
After seeing all that evidence, Trish finally believed it.
She had come for two reasons: first, to thank him; second, because that Bat Person video had been somewhat terrifying...
The third reason was, naturally, desire.
No one said only men could desire women. It went both ways. Although Li Dan was Asian, he had cool pale skin and the kind of looks Westerners liked.
Like John Lone back in the day, except Li Dan was even more refined.
"Daley said you drove that Bat Person away. Is that true?"
Li Dan said, "Strictly speaking, it was contained, not driven away."
Calling it containment was not wrong. In a sense, The Warrens bringing every sealed evil thing back to their home was also containment. Li Dan simply carried his with him.
Trish asked curiously.
"Is there a difference?"
"No."
The difference was enormous, but if he explained it, Trish would probably be even more frightened. So Li Dan did not say anything.
Trish chatted idly with Li Dan for a while longer. Just when he was about to grow impatient, she finally asked her question awkwardly.
"Li, do you have a girlfriend?"
It had been so long since Li Dan had heard such an indirect question. Since coming here, the women he met usually came straight at him. Whether he had a girlfriend did not seem important to them.
"That question... We've only known each other for one day, haven't we?"
Trish said, "Then let's get to know each other first?"
She was already an adult and could date normally. Of course she had to ask when she saw a man she liked.
Li Dan said, "What if I told you I have a girlfriend?"
"Is your relationship good? Would she mind if I competed with her fairly?"
Trish might not have asked that about someone else, but Li Dan's looks and his status as the owner of Collingwood Manor made him worth it.
Fine, Li Dan had completely overthought things. There was no such thing as subtlety at all.
Li Dan remembered that, at first, he had not wanted to become a scumbag. But there were simply too many temptations.
Trish leaned closer and asked curiously.
"I heard Asian guys are all very reserved. Is that true?"
"That depends on the person." Li Dan knew one particular group had no concept of being reserved. Calling someone Mommy was normal for them. Anyway, Li Dan could not bring himself to do it.
Trish asked, "Then are you reserved?"
"Haven't you already experienced whether I am or not?" Li Dan was referring to the time at the hotel when he had picked lotus seeds.
Trish thought of it too, and her face grew even rosier.
"Trish, if you're scared..." Li Dan asked tentatively.
Who would want to lie alone when they could sleep while holding a beautiful blonde woman?
Trish gave a soft hum. Li Dan took it as agreement, turned off the lights, wrapped an arm around her waist, and slipped beneath the covers with her.
Over here, there was no need for so much beating around the bush.
In the darkness.
Li Dan lowered his head and kissed Trish's soft pink lips. Their bodies overlapped, and Trish unconsciously hooked her calf around the hollow behind his knee, letting out a quiet moan.
But just as Li Dan was about to charge into battle, one sentence from Trish left him completely numb.
Li Dan had no intention of fighting a bloody battle for now. After all, he did not usually browse the kink section...
Trish shifted her thigh and snickered.
"Darling, are you uncomfortable?"
"What do you think?" Li Dan felt like he could lever up the Earth.
Trish slipped beneath the covers, then gave him the answer.
"Very... impressive."
The next morning.
Trish clung tightly to Li Dan like an octopus. He could barely breathe, and the moment he opened his eyes, his face was pressed into something soft.
He patted her and had no choice but to wake Trish.
The moment she woke up, she tried to kiss Li Dan. Li Dan instinctively turned his head aside.
"What are you doing?" Trish clearly knew why. She rolled her eyes and said coyly, "After what I did yesterday..."
What could Li Dan say? No man would want that. He had thought Trish would back down after encountering difficulty.
Instead, taking advantage of being on top, Trish caught Li Dan off guard while he had his eyes narrowed and stole a kiss from him.
Li Dan: "Σ( ° △ °|||)"
