Future Diary!

Tap.

Tap.

Before the underground elevator entrance of the Nine-Tailed Fox headquarters stood a man in a white Zhongshan suit, leaning on a cane.

"You've got guts, breaking into the Nine-Tailed Fox headquarters."

Wang Haonan scratched his head. "You're Spider, right?"

"You know me?"

Spider narrowed his eyes as webbing began to seep from his body. He was preparing to catch Wang Haonan off guard.

Wang Haonan secretly took out a stone engraved with a Dragon Pattern.

Neither of them spoke. The next second, Spider suddenly attacked, shooting sticky webbing from his hand straight at Wang Haonan!

Wang Haonan immediately brought out the Dragon Talisman. Red light flashed, and a pillar of blazing fire erupted!

"Damn...!"

Boom!!

A thunderous explosion rang out. The flames melted all the webbing and burned Spider's body into charred black ash along with it.

Whoosh...

As the flames died down, Spider's scorched corpse toppled straight to the floor.

Wang Haonan walked over to him in confusion. "He didn't seem all that strong. Did I misunderstand something?"

"You did misunderstand."

A crisp young girl's voice rang out. Wang Haonan turned and saw a girl in a long black dress swaggering down the hallway of the Containment Zone.

"Sequence 001?"

"Weren't you sent away to be executed?"

Hearing Wang Haonan's words, Raven put her hands on her hips. "I killed everyone who came to execute me. Is there a problem with that?"

"You can do that?" Wang Haonan blinked.

Raven gave a faint smile. "You underestimate me too much. If I hadn't wanted them to capture me, what could they have used to catch me?"

"Don't forget."

As soon as she finished speaking, Raven's body suddenly twisted and convulsed!

Her hair turned white, her eyes became blood-red, her teeth sharpened, and a pair of bat wings grew from her back.

"I have all of your abilities."

Raven licked her blood-red lips. "The one who came to contain me was an arrogant fat bastard. He claimed he could see the future. I think Lord Aus would be interested in material that can predict the future."

Wang Haonan was somewhat surprised. "How did you know Lord Aus wasn't dead?"

Raven shrugged. "Would Lord Aus die? Don't be stupid. I never doubted that Lord Aus would survive."

"I only need to do my job and keep delivering the experimental materials He needs to that one."

Wang Haonan shifted his gaze and saw a bloody fat man behind Raven.

"He can predict the future?"

Raven turned around and kicked the fat man. "Hey, didn't you say you could predict the future?"

The fat man jolted upright. "Ah, yes, yes! I can predict the future! What do you want to see? I'll look for you!"

Raven grabbed the fat bastard by the throat. "No need. I know exactly what you're thinking."

Secret Stealer.

Raven could listen to the secrets buried within people's hearts from the shadows and read their memories.

"Hmm... so that's how it is. The thing that lets you predict the future is a diary?"

Raven shoved the fat man down, then found a diary on him. "Just this ordinary-looking thing?"

The fat man's pupils dilated when he saw it. "No, no, that's not it, it's not..."

Raven grinned. "Want me to give it back to you?"

The fat man nodded frantically.

"G-Give it back..."

Listening to the fat man's pleading, Raven revealed a delighted smile.

Just then, a crack appeared in the space behind Raven.

An arm reached out from the crack and took the diary from Raven's hand.

???

"Huh?"

Wang Haonan: "..."

Elsewhere, Chen Ye, who had taken the diary with Sleight of Hand, sat in a chair and casually flipped through it.

"Predicting the future... I thought I'd have to go through some trouble to find this thing. I didn't expect it to be this easy."

Chen Ye casually tossed the diary onto the table. "Looks like Chu Yang won't be needed."

How should he put it? Chen Ye suddenly felt a little gratified.

All he could say was that the child had finally grown sensible.

Chen Ye reached out and stroked the head of the giant snake beside him. The snake trembled and lowered its head. "Come on, it's time to eat."

Chen Ye took out a bottle of medicine. At the sight of it, the giant snake shook its head repeatedly and even began backing away.

Seeing this, Chen Ye grabbed the snake by the head and pried open its jaws.

"Right, I'm actually trying to reason with an animal. I really am getting more foolish with age."

"It's like dealing with a baby. You don't need to ask for a baby's opinion. It can't understand what you're saying, and there's no need to discuss it with it."

He forcibly poured the medicine into the giant snake's mouth. Its body twisted and thrashed, its eyes widened, and its body stretched into a straight line.

Thud.

The giant snake fell to the floor, and Chen Ye rose to his feet.

"As a pet, this is only the first stage. First, it has to learn obedience. After that, it still needs to be fed for a while longer."

Outside.

Raven blinked. "What just happened?"

Wang Haonan shrugged. "Who knows? That lord probably made a move."

Raven turned to look at the fat man kneeling on the ground. "Is that so? That lord didn't take you away. Looks like He didn't think much of you."

"Fine. Since that lord didn't take a liking to you, and I've already copied your ability, there's no use keeping you around."

The fat man backed away frantically. "No, please, d-don't kill me! I never wanted to join the Nine-Tailed Fox. I had no choice! I only joined the Nine-Tailed Fox to stay alive!"

"I-I can join you!"

"I want to become a monster too, really!"

Raven gave a faint smile. "Is that so? But not everyone is qualified to meet that lord."

"Still, you're so afraid of death that I'm feeling a little soft-hearted. Why don't you beg me?"

The fat man knelt on the ground and repeatedly banged his head against it. "I'm begging you, please spare me! I promise I'll never oppose you again!"

Raven licked her lips. She raised two fingers, then grabbed the fat man by the throat.

"Very nice. You've persuaded me. But I really hate your eyes."

Splat!

With that, Raven drove two fingers straight through the fat man's eyeballs!

"Argh!!"

Two streams of bloody tears ran from his eye sockets. The fat man instantly covered his eyes and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Just then, dense footsteps suddenly sounded from one side of the corridor.

Hearing them, Raven extended her claws. To her surprise, what appeared before them was a large group of heavily equipped... Fishmen?

Li Yuan walked at the front of the group. A little skeletal hand followed at his side, and the bone hand mischievously waved at Raven and the others.

"What does this mean?"

Raven blinked as Li Yuan approached the two of them.

"I sensed it that day. There was some kind of connection between me and those people—or perhaps resonance. But guess what?"

"Those people actually injected ordinary people with my cells."

"Sequence 003, you came too quickly."

"If you had come any later, I could have offered the entire Nine-Tailed Fox to that lord."
