483. Raven

Inside Bai Jing Restaurant, only a few customers were sitting, and no one was ordering anything else.

"You... seem to have something on your mind."

Sulu sat opposite Li Weiwei, lowering his voice.

"Yes, store manager... do you believe in... the existence of some extraordinary and unusual powers?" Li Weiwei asked.

'Hmm? The hypnosis is that effective? No... it's probably because she was too unguarded.'

Sulu smiled, "I believe in science!"

Seeing Li Weiwei's slightly somber expression, he added, "So-called extraordinary power may exist, but it's probably just something that science can't explain yet..."

"That's true..."

Li Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she suddenly asked, "Have you been online recently and seen... any posts about nightmares?"

"Internet access? No... you know that..." Sulu shrugged.

"Yes, you've been traveling recently..." Li Weiwei smiled knowingly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Sulu pondered to himself that perhaps the business hours really should be changed to late at night, and that alcoholic beverages should be served instead.

Can you tell me about it?

"You don't understand, you're a 'Muggle'!" Li Weiwei chuckled, seemingly in a better mood. "If... one day you become an Extraordinary One, possessing extraordinary power, what would you want to do?"

"Me? I only know that with great power comes great responsibility..." Sulu casually offered a pep talk.

"You're right."

Li Weiwei seemed to have grasped something; her eyes lit up, and her spirits lifted.

'I... well, I was just offering some motivational advice.'

Sulu stared at Li Weiwei's departing figure, somewhat dumbfounded.

'Is this girl... stupid?'

"Brother Bai, you've gone too far."

At this moment, a female diner next to us spoke up, "Are you treating people differently based on who they are... I'm a customer too."

"Oh, no, no, I was just about to come see Sister Hong."

Sulu asked, "How's work going lately?"

Mentioning this, Sister Hong patted her heaving chest with lingering fear. "It's really been a fright lately... The international market is ever-changing, but at least we escaped a huge pitfall, which is something to celebrate."

Sulu blinked, realizing that this woman was someone who had no mysterious powers and knew nothing about such matters—a complete Muggle.

"By the way, did you know? Cheng Feng wanted to come when he heard this place was opening, but something came up and he couldn't..." Sister Hong sat up straight gracefully and announced the news.

"What is it?" Sulu asked casually.

"In our city, a formidable challenger has emerged. He's said to be a successor of ancient martial arts, and he's already taken down several Taekwondo and Combat Club. Everyone in the industry is on edge. Of course, Cheng Feng is excited... he's been a fan for a long time."

After seeing off the last customer, Sulu pulled up the shutter and looked at the shop's layout.

Hmm, it should be changed.

The business hours will be changed to late at night, with seats set up around the stove and drinks provided.

Only in this way can communication and hypnosis be facilitated, and information be collected secretly.

He collected the leftover food and carried it out the back door, intending to throw it away.

"Yay~~"

Suddenly, a harsh, hoarse bird call came from overhead.

Sulu looked up and saw a black-feathered Crow with its lively eyes looking down at him.

"It's a little guy."

He smiled. In the Dragon World, Crow were good helpers to Wizard; with a little training, they could become excellent magical pets.

According to scientific research in this world, the Corvidae family of the order Passeriformes is the most intelligent bird group, with an intelligence comparable to many non-human primates.

"Come down."

His voice carried an invisible wave.

Seemingly lured by the food, the usually cautious Crow flapped its wings and flew down to peck at the grains of rice on the ground.

"From now on, you'll be my pet."

Sulu stared at the Crow, planting a hypnotic seed in its mind.

The effect of these seeds is actually very weak and cannot possibly enslave humans, but birds could try.

Many birds consider the first creature they see when they open their eyes to be a relative, Sulu felt he could take advantage of this to domesticate a large number of them.

It's important to know that not only humans, but animals can also experience spiritual awakening.

They should be good partners in the future.

Even if it can't awaken, there are many ways to cultivate it. At the very least... it can be a tester for my new dishes.

He whistled, and the well-fed Crow automatically flew to his shoulder, preening its feathers and becoming unusually docile.

"Go... track that woman, I think she's going to do something stupid!"

Sulu pointed to the street corner and changed into sportswear, looking like Li Weiwei who was getting ready for a night run. Crow cawed hoarsely and took flight.

"With great power comes great responsibility? There's some truth to that, but it's not what I like..."

What I like is using my abilities without restraint!

Li Weiwei changed into her running shoes and sprinted along the sidewalk.

In her eyes and ears, a flood of information came through, and the scene seemed to slow down, turning into frame after frame of footage.

Even with her eyes closed, she could still see the blurry outlines of the surrounding scenery.

The sound of the wind carried a lot of information.

She did not go to the hospital after having the nightmare last time.

After browsing numerous posts online and discovering that many had been deleted, Li Weiwei made a decision—to gather materials and, based on the information she had obtained, give it a try.

After taking the potion as instructed, she found herself undergoing a 'change'.

My mild nearsightedness is gone; my eyes can see farther and more clearly; my ears can hear more sounds; and my cognitive abilities seem to have improved.

According to the information I've received, it should be called "Wind Whisperer Potion"!

'Unfortunately... I haven't dreamed of that giant again during this time! Only when I'm about to advance in rank can I perform a special ritual to worship him... Is he... a god?'

Li Weiwei thought with a hint of regret.

She is now certain that she is the lucky one who had this extraordinary encounter.

Having gained power is like a child getting a toy; they can't wait to use it.

It's not about the ability or responsibility that Bai Jing was talking about!

How could I possibly be fooled by such words?

Just then, Li Weiwei's ears perked up.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying a soft, rustling sound:

"Do not move!"

"Hand over all the money!"

"That place is..."

She looked toward a small alley.

As she ran, she reached a relatively secluded street, where there were no surveillance cameras.

The sound came from a dark alleyway.

"What should I do? I..."

Li Weiwei unconsciously moved her feet to the alley entrance, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to take out her phone to call the police.

Just then, a dark figure rushed out and bumped right into her.

"Ah!"
