"So we're just supposed to stand here and do nothing?"
Wu Cheng gritted his teeth and said somewhat irritably.
Just then, a muffled groan was heard from inside the detention room.
Everyone's eyes instinctively turned towards Wei Leyang.
Wei Leyang's face Distortion in pain, and the beads of sweat were even more concentrated than before. His expression revealed an undeniable weariness.
The bulge that was originally located on his lower chest gradually moved to his upper chest.
"Hey, Wei Leyang, no, wait, hang in there! We'll definitely find a way!" Wu Cheng shouted anxiously.
Wei Leyang slowly opened his eyes, exhaled with some difficulty, and said:
"Don't even think about it. The Calamity Beast has burrowed into my body. You can't do anything about it except for myself!"
"You think you can just stop thinking about it like that? I have a head, I can't just think about it whenever I want!" Wu Cheng said angrily.
Wei Leyang smiled, then exhaled and said:
"You know... Haha... Could this actually be a good thing for me?"
Huh? Good news?... Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang in surprise.
Wu Cheng was also taken aback, and said with some confusion:
"Good news? What do you think?"
"Isn't that how it's portrayed in anime and movies?"
Wei Leyang said with some difficulty but still persisted:
"An extraordinary creature burrowed into the protagonist's body."
"Then, for various reasons, it temporarily failed to kill, or was unable to kill, the protagonist."
"Afterwards, the protagonist encountered a series of crises, and then the extraordinary creature residing in his body was forced to use its abilities to help him fight them off."
"The two sides developed a deep bond during this process."
"The protagonist, relying on the abilities of that extraordinary creature, climbed all the way to the top."
You said I...
"I'm telling you, what time is it? You're still acting like a teenager!" Wu Cheng said fiercely.
After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Heng.
" Shen Heng, don't you have any other options?"
Shen Heng's gaze fell on Wei Leyang, and he slowly shook his head.
It's been quite a while since the incident, and they've tried every possible method.
If all else fails, we might have to try the method Wei Leyang just mentioned.
Yes, in Shen Heng's view, what Wei Leyang just said, although somewhat naive, was not entirely without merit.
At least, they could try threatening the Calamity Beast inside Wei Leyang's body with their lives.
Both parties can try communication.
However, the Calamity Beast probably won't believe it so easily.
After all, from Shen Heng's perspective, even if a deal is reached in the end, the captain will definitely have to stay by Wei Leyang's side the whole time.
Then, he would secretly contact headquarters to see if anyone else had the ability to kill the Calamity Beast inside Wei Leyang.
Do you really believe in the Calamity Beast?
Some people might believe it, but Shen Heng certainly doesn't.
Seeing Shen Heng shake his head, Wu Cheng had no choice but to look at the others.
Wherever his gaze fell, everyone else remained silent.
Before Wu Cheng arrived, they had already discussed the matter and proposed many methods, but those methods were all rejected one by one for various reasons.
Wu Cheng glared angrily at the crowd.
"No, say something! What's the use of pretending to be mute? We can't just watch Wei Leyang die, can we?"
Han Ling was a little angry after Wu Cheng said that.
"Do you think we don't want to save Wei Leyang? Of course we want to save him, but how? What can we use to save him?"
Wu Cheng choked for a moment, realizing he was getting a little irritated.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and then said:
Is there anyone whose abilities are available?
"We've already thought about this," Shen Heng said in a deep voice.
"The captain suggested earlier that Le Gu Nan try to analyze the Calamity Beast inside Wei Leyang's body to see if it could be killed directly, but the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast moving, and Le Gu Nan's analysis can't keep up with it."
"Then I suggested that Wei Leyang generate threads within his body to bind the Calamity Beast, but Wei Leyang couldn't do it."
"Is there no one else whose abilities can be used?" Wu Cheng asked.
"You know how capable our team members are. Who do you think can make a difference in this area?" Han Ling said irritably.
Wu Cheng frowned in thought, and after a moment spoke again:
"Is there anyone whose abilities can evolve?"
Shen Heng raised his head slightly, looking at Wu Cheng with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Ability... evolution?
"It has nothing to do with evolution. The key is that the abilities of the people on our team aren't in this category," Han Ling said.
"Your C-Class Spark can't be allowed to flow into Wei Leyang's body and burn the Calamity Beast to death."
"The captain, with his A-Class Body of Steel, can't be sent to tank the Calamity Beast."
"I'm B-Class Explosion, you can't expect me to Explosion up Wei Leyang, can you?"
" Gu Nan's... well, if her ability were to upgrade, it might indeed be useful, but the problem is she's only been with the company for a little over a year, and her ability is still only A-Class. There's no way she could evolve."
"Then, Shen Heng, with your F-Class Hearing Enhancement, you can't exactly let him listen to the Death Calamity Beast, can you?"
"This..."
Wu Cheng scratched his head in frustration, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, Shen Heng just mentioned a method where Wei Leyang could generate threads inside his body to bind the Calamity Beast, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Han Ling asked.
"In that case, why don't we just let Wei Leyang try out the evolution ability?" Wu Cheng said. "What we can't do now, maybe we can do after the Ability Evolution?"
"But he never mentioned having that special feeling of completing the Synchronization, did he?" Han Ling frowned.
"Isn't there still a one in a thousand chance?"
"One in a thousand? What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?"
"It's better than definitely dying now!" Wu Cheng said through gritted teeth.
Han Ling hesitated for a moment, then said:
" Origin Crystal..."
"That's not true!"
Wu Cheng raised his hand and pointed to the Realm-Suppressing Stake in Le Gu Nan's hand.
There, a Third Tier Origin Crystal was placed.
Han Ling opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. She turned her head to look at Wang Hai.
"Team leader?"
Wang Hai looked at Wei Leyang, his brows furrowed.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, a questioning voice rang out from inside the detention room.
"Wait... can someone explain to me what 'Ability Evolution ' means?"
Shen Heng looked at everyone with some confusion.
Ability Evolution?
He recognized each of the four characters, but the word they formed was so unfamiliar that he could hardly believe it.
Upon hearing Shen Heng's question, Han Ling and the others looked at Shen Heng with some surprise, as if to say that he didn't even know about this matter.
Han Ling looked at Shen Heng strangely.
"Abilities can evolve and be upgraded to higher levels, didn't you know that?"
Can abilities really evolve?
Shen Heng shook his head, his eyes unfocused.
Indeed, no one had ever told him that his abilities could evolve.
He had always believed that once his abilities were awakened, his level was fixed and could not evolve.
But now...
Han Ling looked closely at Shen Heng's face.
Seeing that Shen Heng seemed genuinely unaware, he looked at Wang Hai with some curiosity.
"Captain, didn't you tell Shen Heng about the Ability Evolution?"
