" The Maimed-Tail Disaster Beast?"
Han Ling frowned, feeling that it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place it for a moment.
"There's a type of calamity Calamity Beast recorded in the Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide. It has a human-like upper body and only one tail on its lower body, and its entire body has dry, wrinkled skin," Le Gu Nan explained beside her.
Oh, that one!
Upon hearing what Le Gu Nan said, Han Ling immediately remembered.
Isn't this the same Calamity Beast that Shen Heng encountered during his first official mission?
Because she had encountered it and even killed it herself, she had a deep understanding of the Calamity Beast. So when headquarters named it, she only glanced at it briefly and didn't bother to remember it carefully.
but...
"Why did you suddenly bring this up?" Han Ling asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Do you still remember its abilities?" Shen Heng asked.
"It can climb buildings, emit simple Sound Wave Attack, and its hearing is also..."
Han Ling stopped halfway through her sentence and looked directly at Shen Heng.
She began to understand what Shen Heng meant.
"You mean, if your Ability Evolution and you can also unleash Sound Wave Attack, then you can use Sound Wave Attack to deal with the Calamity Beast inside Wei Leyang's body?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded, confirming the idea. "The only uncertainty now is whether, if my ability evolves, I'll really be able to unleash Sound Wave Attack, as I think."
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards Wang Hai.
Wang Hai paused for a moment, then walked straight to Wei Leyang and squatted down beside him without replying.
" Wei Leyang, can you still speak?"
Wei Leyang's face was ashen; his face twitched, but he made no other movement.
Is he unable to speak anymore?
Wang Hai stared silently at the scene before him, his fists clenched so tightly they rested on the ground, as if he were considering something...
The people around also watched the scene unfold with solemn expressions.
They had all witnessed Wei Leyang's actions just now, seeing that he had clearly heard the sound and wanted to respond, but couldn't.
We need to hurry, otherwise Wei Leyang probably won't be able to hold on for much longer!
This realization arose in everyone's hearts.
The somber atmosphere lingered in the detention room for a while.
Han Ling looked at the figure squatting on the ground and called out softly.
"Team leader..."
Wang Hai took a deep breath, then stood up and addressed Le Gu Nan:
" Le Gu Nan, take out the Origin Crystal from inside the Realm-Suppressing Stake and let Shen Heng evolve!"
Upon hearing this, Le Gu Nan pressed on the Realm-Suppressing Stake, and the top of the Realm-Suppressing Stake opened, revealing a Origin Crystal standing quietly on it.
She carefully removed the Origin Crystal and then handed it to Shen Heng.
Shen Heng silently accepted the Origin Crystal.
"Won't it be possible to awaken the ability to attack with sound waves...?" Shen Heng murmured to himself.
Although the captain didn't say it explicitly, his strange behavior suggested the outcome.
The captain was just considering whether to let himself try to evolve, because if he didn't evolve a sonic ability, then Wei Leyang would...
Shen Heng took a deep breath and gripped the Origin Crystal tightly in his hand.
"But no matter what, it's still better than the one in a thousand chance that Han Ling and the others mentioned."
He looked up at Wang Hai and asked.
"Captain, how do we Ability Evolution?"
"Just stick the Origin Crystal on your forehead and guide the Origin Crystal Origin Power within it to stimulate your brain," Wang Hai said.
Shen Heng took a deep breath and slowly placed the Origin Crystal, which emitted a faint glow, on his forehead.
Cold and hard, yet carrying a strange pulsation...
He closed his eyes and began to try to guide the Origin Power within the Origin Crystal with his mind.
Guided by him, strands of Origin Power penetrated his skin and entered his head.
At first, because the Origin Power that penetrated was small, the brain could feel the coolness of the Origin Power itself.
But soon, as more and more Origin Power entered his brain, at a certain moment—
Buzz!
Shen Heng felt as if his head had exploded.
In an instant, scorching and surging energy erupted from the Origin Crystal, pouring into his brain like a flood.
"Ugh--!"
Shen Heng let out a muffled groan, his body tensing up abruptly, veins bulging on his forehead.
It felt as if someone had lit a fire inside the skull, or as if countless tiny silver needles were frantically piercing the nerves.
The excruciating pain rendered him almost incapable of thought, but even more terrifying was the strange sensation that followed—
His hearing was expanding wildly!
The once quiet detention room was now filled with a tidal wave of noise.
Han Ling's tense breathing, Le Gu Nan's unconscious tapping of the Realm-Suppressing Stake, Wu Cheng's slight grinding of teeth, Wang Hai's heavy breathing...
He could even hear the viscous sound of the Calamity Beast slowly wriggling inside Wei Leyang's body!
Shen Heng gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his head and the throbbing in his eardrums.
The pain lasted for a long time, yet it also seemed to last only a short while.
When Shen Heng came to his senses, the pain in his mind had disappeared, replaced by a familiar and pleasant coolness.
The pleasant coolness lasted for a moment, then quietly dissipated.
After a long while, Shen Heng slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the scene before him.
The world seemed to have changed completely in my field of vision.
Ripples spread throughout the entire world.
Some of these ripples emanated from Han Ling's rapid breathing, others from the ripples created when Le Gu Nan tapped the Realm-Suppressing Stake with his fingertips, and one could even see the Distortion trajectory of Wang Hai's suppressed sigh in the air...
That wasn't a sound you heard, but... the sound waves themselves!
Noticing the glint in Shen Heng's eyes, Wang Hai asked:
"How is it? Can it unleash Sound Wave Attack?"
"I'll give it a try!" Shen Heng said.
He can only confirm that he can see sound waves, but it's uncertain whether he can control them to Sound Wave Attack.
Gazing at the ripples of sound spreading outwards in his field of vision, Shen Heng slowly raised his hand—
Buzz--!
Invisible sound waves vibrated outwards.
The next moment, Wang Hai frowned slightly, while the others nodded sharply.
"This... it worked?" Han Ling looked at Shen Heng with some uncertainty.
She only saw Shen Heng raise his hand and tap in the air, and then her mind suddenly went blank for a moment.
It was just a simple daze, so simple that she wasn't sure if she had just been influenced by Shen Heng, or if her mind had suddenly gone blank for a moment.
"Yes, it worked!" Shen Heng nodded.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hai let out a long sigh. He turned to look at Wei Leyang on the ground and asked:
Can you handle Wei Leyang's situation?
"It should be fine!" Shen Heng said.
He was unsure of the strength of his Ability Evolution and didn't know exactly which level it had reached.
However, even if it's only upgraded to E or D-Class, dealing with that crippled Calamity Beast shouldn't be too much of a problem.
He turned to look at Wei Leyang and saw a small bump moving upwards with difficulty but stubbornly at the junction of his chest and neck.
Shen Heng slowly walked over to Wei Leyang and squatted down, then whispered something.
"Bear with it."
Wei Leyang did not reply, nor could he.
But Shen Heng didn't pay attention; his gaze was fixed on the small bulge on Wei Leyang's body.
There, an irregular ripple was trembling violently, in stark contrast to the gentle undulations naturally produced by the surrounding human bodies.
He slowly opened his mouth, uttering a single word:
"Lonely--"
