An Nuan was stunned.
It was due to her hatred from her previous life that she wanted to take revenge on An Dong.
How could there be these other things?
[To obtain company shares, An Dong caused a car accident five years ago that killed your parents.]
[After your parents' deaths, he added something to the tonic he gave the old lady every week. A slow-acting poison, to kill your grandmother, his own mother.]
An Nuan stared blankly at the screen.
She had always thought her parents had just been unlucky, dying in an accident with a drunk driver.
Her grandmother was old, and her grief over losing her son had weakened her body, causing her to decline and die.
An Nuan had always believed this was the case.
But…
"Heh, it was An Dong! Dr. Zhou was bribed too, right? That's why he kept my grandmother's condition a secret from me."
[Correct]
Dr. Zhou's bank accounts appeared on the screen.
It was a sum of money a doctor couldn't earn in a lifetime.
An Nuan fiercely pinched her thigh, her nails digging into her flesh.
In the past, she had even acted cute towards An Dong, expressing her gratitude to her uncle.
Who would have thought that An Dong was the one responsible? She had been grateful to the murderer of her parents!
An Nuan slapped herself twice.
Luoluo quickly stopped her, "Xiao Nuan, don't be impulsive. What he's saying might not be true."
[You can verify it yourself. An Dong is on the top floor of Anxin Building.]
[Eat the crystal and awaken to a second-tier esper.]
After the other party finished speaking, the screen went black.
An Nuan trembled, holding the crystal in her hand, still hesitating.
The screen suddenly lit up again.
This time, there was only one line of text: [Put on some clothes, or I'll crush this kid's head!]
After the text flashed, the screen went completely black.
Chang Kaitong was confused.
"Sister, is he your boyfriend?"
"No."
Would a man order his girlfriend to kill zombies?
Chang Kaitong was even more confused.
"Then why would he crush my head?"
He wasn't looking at his girlfriend!
Chang Kaitong didn't say the latter half of his question. He lowered his head, blushing, and looked at An Nuan.
"Sister, what do we do now? Eat it?"
"Eat."
An Nuan had awakened her esper abilities in December of her previous life.
By then, many people had already awakened theirs. Although the strength of one's ability wasn't directly related to the awakening time, the earlier one awakened, the more potential one could explore.
An Nuan hadn't seized the opportunity. As a normal human, she was bullied by her companions. After awakening her abilities, she was treated as cannon fodder by other espers.
Later, even after awakening, her ability was so weak that she was assigned to the worst team.
It wasn't until the fourth year of the apocalypse that she swallowed her fourth crystal and slightly improved her ability's performance.
This time, someone had delivered the crystals to her. It would be foolish not to take them.
An Nuan divided the crystals into three portions. She took out one piece from Xiao Hua's brain and set it aside for Chang Kaitong.
Luoluo couldn't bring herself to eat these things.
After all, they were taken from zombie brains. Even if there was no brain matter left on the surface, it was still disgusting.
Chang Kaitong also found it hard to swallow, "This is from Xiao Hua's brain. Are we really going to eat it?"
"Just think of it as raw lamb kidneys with blood. Swallow it in one gulp."
They looked at each other.
Let alone raw lamb kidneys with blood, even cooked ones, they might not be able to stomach them.
An Nuan picked up her three crystals, cupped them in her palm, and muttered.
"I want fire, I want fire, I want fire fire fire fire fire!"
An Nuan tilted her head back and swallowed all three crystals in one go.
They felt stuck in her throat. An Nuan drank a few more sips of milk, forcing the crystals down.
Seeing her eat, Chang Kaitong closed his eyes and swallowed Xiao Hua's crystal.
Since the whole family ate, Luoluo had no choice but to eat as well.
After she swallowed it, she felt nauseous.
"Will the crystals pierce through my stomach? Xiao Nuan, what's wrong?"
An Nuan's face was flushed, her head felt dizzy, and her body temperature soared to nearly fifty degrees Celsius.
A ball of light appeared in An Nuan's mind. Her consciousness blurred as she reached for it. Something seemed to be awakening within her.
Having experienced awakening in her previous life, An Nuan was much calmer this time and quickly fused with the crystals.
She could feel the power surging and intense within her body.
An Nuan opened her eyes and clenched her fist, striking the air.
The sculpture next to the TV cabinet was flattened into a thin copper sheet by her blow.
"Xiao Nuan, you're so amazing!"
"Sister, how did you do that?"
An Nuan: "???"
Why did they wake up so early?
Logically, she could wake up early because she had experienced it before and had prior knowledge.
Luoluo and Chang Kaitong hadn't experienced the apocalypse, so why did they wake up even earlier than her?
"Are you two okay?"
"We're fine. I saw a big ball of light and swallowed it!" Luoluo giggled sweetly.
Chang Kaitong also said, "I saw it too, but I didn't eat it. The ball of light rushed into my body, and the method of use appeared in my mind. Sister, I'll show you!"
He flicked his fingers, and several small ornaments in the room floated in mid-air.
He moved his fingers again, and both Luoluo and An Nuan floated up.
Luoluo: "Xiao Tong is so amazing, he can change gravity!"
"It's not gravity, it's magnetism!"
"Ah? Magnetism?"
In her previous life, Chang Kaitong became an eighth-tier powerhouse for a significant reason: his ability was magnetism.
This ability, like lightning or lava, was already very powerful, far surpassing others.
Combined with later training and crystal consumption…
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It wasn't false to say that heaven provided for some people!
"Whether it's living beings or objects, they all have magnetism. In the apocalypse, the world's magnetic field will become chaotic, and the effects of magnetism will be more pronounced. Xiao Tong is manipulating magnetism, not gravity. You'll understand later!"
"Oh my god, isn't that like Magneto? Xiao Tong, you're awesome!"
Chang Kaitong obediently let Luoluo rub his head, feeling incredibly happy.
"Then I'll work hard to become as powerful as Magneto, so I can protect you all properly in the future!"
"Ambitious! Sister likes you more and more! Xiao Nuan, look at mine."
Luoluo opened her palm, and a small daisy bloomed from it.
"My ability doesn't seem very useful, but I quite like it."
"Damn it! You can grow plants? I shouldn't have hoarded so much if I'd known."
"Hehe, how much money worth of plants did you hoard?"
"Over three hundred thousand. What a waste! Wouldn't it be better to get some grain?"
An Nuan threw a comic book called "Vine Woman" to Luoluo.
"The female protagonist is like you, she's a plant. Study it well."
"So interesting! Xiao Nuan, what's your ability? Telekinesis?"
"Sister's ability must be very strong. She even flattened the bronze statue!"
An Nuan concentrated, following the flow of energy to activate her ability.
A black barrier emerged from her body. Wherever it passed, the coffee table and cups were all consumed.
An Nuan smiled, "My ability is Starry Sky Devour!"
