Chapter 9, Acquisition of New Abilities

Devoured 1 incomplete low-level ghost, gaining saturation: 4%, no skills acquired

However, at this moment, his younger sister, having nowhere to stay, took refuge in her sister's marital home. The husband, seeing the younger and more beautiful Wenjing, who resembled his wife, began to harbor inappropriate thoughts. At the same time, he discovered in the lives of the two sisters that Wenjing was very good to her sister, always considering her in everything. Taking advantage of this point, when he was alone with Wenjing, he told her about Wenjuan's inability to conceive, expressing that they, as a couple, really wanted a child. Surprisingly, the younger sister, who had relied on her elder sister since childhood, agreed.

The man suddenly frowned, put down his coffee cup, stood up from his seat, and walked towards the window. With a furrowed brow, he gazed outside, directly towards the Zhang family residence. After a short while, he smiled faintly, returned to his seat, and continued sipping his coffee

It would be better to play games less in the future and focus on studying instead, as it can at least make my parents happy, and perhaps even catch Wang Yizhi's attention. Zhang Chen smiled, stood up, and glanced at the clock; it was almost 5 o'clock. He hurried into the kitchen, wanting to prepare dinner for his parents tonight

Compatibility with the current physical body: 35%

Devoured a complete low-level malevolent spirit, achieving saturation: 21%, acquired skill: telekinesis. Due to the malevolent spirit being a twin entity with a corpse spirit within the body, the skill is affected

"Let's try again," Zhang Chen said, focusing intently on a small comb. It indeed began to rise slowly once more, albeit with great difficulty. After placing the comb back in its original position, Zhang Chen contemplated a matter.

Sub-soul grid status: Not activated

Just as Zhang Chen was about to rise, he felt a warm breath surge from his abdomen to his head, accompanied by an elderly voice that echoed.

Overall evaluation: Poor

It seems that the black orb located at the heart is what has transformed me like this. This so-called main soul glutton has a compatibility of only 35%, yet it is so formidable. By the way, I remember it used to be only 30%. It appears that this time, having dealt with these two spirits has increased my compatibility with this so-called main soul.

In the moment I realized I was to be killed, the care my parents once showed allowed me to survive

That poor Wenjuan is just as foolish, believing that this way she can continue living with her husband. Little does she know that this man will seize any opportunity to rid himself of her

Happiness seems to be somewhat fleeting. After a period of married life, the husband, who desires children, has yet to receive news of his wife's pregnancy. In a moment of desperation, he took his wife to the hospital for an examination. The report stated: the woman has fertility issues and is unable to conceive. Following this, although the husband did not express anything at the time, the quality of their married life deteriorated increasingly in the days that followed

Saturation: 55%

Ah, this matter has truly been resolved, but reflecting on the relationships within this family is indeed quite complex. If my deductions are correct, Wenjuan, the elder sister, has somewhat looked down upon her younger sister's idleness since childhood. However, considering that she is her own biological sister, she still cares for and helps her a great deal, even sending money to her after growing up. Yet, when the elder sister encountered what she believed to be her true love, she got married. Due to the loss of their father at a young age, Wenjuan has been almost obsessively dependent on her husband.

Zhang Chen thought for a moment, then focused on the towel. Suddenly, the towel moved slightly. Zhang Chen felt something flowing from his nostrils, and when he wiped it with his hand, it was bright red blood. At that moment, a wave of dizziness surged in his head, and he quickly propped himself against the wall to avoid falling. The dizziness did not subside, so Zhang Chen had no choice but to lean against the wall, taking one step at a time towards the door of his bedroom.

Zhang Chen looked at the glass on the washstand in front of him, attempting to make the glass float. After a while, the glass moved slightly but then stopped responding. However, the toothbrush inside the glass slowly began to rise, moving very slowly and trembling slightly. Following Zhang Chen's thoughts, the toothbrush gradually returned to the glass.

On the playground of the First Primary School in Jinxian County, which is farther away from the Zhang and Chen families, there is a woman about 25 years old, standing at 1.7 meters tall. She has an oval face and wheat-colored skin that exudes a sense of health and vitality. Dressed in a complete set of pure white Nike sportswear with pink trim, her lightly curled brown hair is styled into a relaxed and lively braid, and her figure is quite attractive.

However, within two days, the man's body began to weaken increasingly, gradually becoming the possession of that dead infant. Zhang Chen recalled the pained expression on the man's face on the belly of the vengeful infant and the voice that told him that besides devouring the infant and the woman, there was also a flawed, low-level ghost. It seemed that the man had been enduring inhuman torment ever since being consumed by his own son

Zhang Chen lay exhausted on the ground, the bathroom was already in a state of disarray, and on top of that, there was this skeleton beside him. "Sigh, how should I explain this when my parents come back?"

Number of skill slots used: 1

Telekinesis: The ability to manipulate invisible forces through thought alone, currently at a proficiency level of 0%

At that moment, she was teaching the child in front of her to do warm-up exercises. Suddenly, she turned her head to glance in the direction of the Zhang and Chen family, and then instantly turned back, as if nothing had happened.

Therefore, he pretended to feel guilty, holding his wife Wenjuan in his arms, making her believe that he still loved her. Subsequently, the two buried Wenjing's body within the wall of the toilet, thinking that everything would be resolved.

Zhang Chen did not understand why all of this was happening before him, having just returned from the gates of hell, he was too lazy to think about it, as it saved him trouble anyway

Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Although this ability does not have a cooldown period, it seems that using it excessively may harm my brain. Zhang Chen helplessly sat up from the bed, removed the paper that was blocking his nose, and began to calm down from the excitement of having gained this supernatural power.

Number of skill slots: 3

Why is there no cooldown time for use? That female ghost has to wait a long time after using it before she can use it again. Could it be that the so-called Twinborn Power has caused the skill to mutate?

Main soul grid status: Enabled

By the way, what kind of psychic power did I gain?" Zhang Chen murmured after standing up. He recalled how he was nearly killed by the invisible force of that female ghost when it struck him.

Just after Zhang Chen swallowed that woman, in an office on the eleventh floor of the Jinxi County Public Security Bureau, located about three kilometers from Zhang Chen's home, a man in his thirties wearing a police uniform, with a prominent hooked nose and light eyebrows, exuded a sharp aura between his brows. His eyes, neither too big nor too small, were focused on savoring the coffee in his cup.

Main Soul: Glutton

Zhang Chen did not feel the slightest sense of relief from surviving a life-and-death situation. Instead, he was extremely excited because he had gained supernatural abilities and could level up by defeating monsters just like in a game. Little did Zhang Chen know, the real danger was only just beginning

However, Wenjuan, who had always regarded her husband as her sole support in life, faced a reality that was even more painful than her inability to conceive. She directed all her resentment towards her younger sister, believing that her sister had taken away her husband and everything she held dear. As she watched her sister's belly grow day by day, while her sister came to comfort her, she feigned a slight smile on the surface, but deep down, she wished for her sister to be subjected to a thousand cuts.

Zhang Chen devoured a complete low-level resentful infant, achieving a saturation level of 12%, enhancing biting ability, with no skills acquired

Upon waking in the early morning, the husband found himself alone in the bedroom. Upon entering the bathroom, he saw his wife covered in blood and Wenjing lying in a pool of blood. He was momentarily stunned, yet the husband realized he had only one path to take. If he reported to the police, it would be revealed that he was involved with his wife's sister, and he feared that, regardless of legal consequences, he would be abandoned by society.

It seems that the power is quite weak, but it looks very impressive. Zhang Chen excitedly jumped up, only to hit his head against the ceiling, causing him to rub his head in pain.

Wen Jing, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of flushing water. Looking at the empty crib, she immediately got up and went to the bathroom, where she saw her sister Wen Juan laughing heartily. Before Wen Jing could ask what was going on, Wen Juan took out a long-prepared sharp knife from her waist and killed her sister.

However, under an old tree at the entrance of Wanhua Garden, a monk dressed in a robe was also gazing at Zhang Chen's home, and this person turned out to be Pu Hu, who was at Sanxue Temple that day. He raised his hand, made a few gestures in the air, and then quietly left with a sweep of his sleeve

Perceptual ability: high

When this voice reached Zhang Chen's mind, he suddenly recalled that there had been an earlier instance, after he had encountered the man in black and returned home, when he heard this voice just before falling asleep.

He pulled out a piece of paper from the bedside cabinet and stuffed it into his nose, suddenly collapsing onto the bed, feeling as if the entire room were swaying like a spaceship, left and right, which was extremely uncomfortable. He waited for more than 10 minutes before the situation gradually eased.

In fact, in daily life, Zhang Chen has also heard of the concept of telekinesis, where it seems that some individuals possess the ability to move objects without physical contact. After analysis and research by experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was discovered that this group of individuals all exhibited extraordinary memory and remarkable calculation abilities, almost resembling humanoid computers. Their brain synapses are more numerous than those of the average person, and their information transmission is exceptionally active, capable of generating brain waves approximately seven times that of a normal person in an instant. This ability to move objects without contact stems from these powerful brain waves. However, experts have yet to determine how these brain waves translate into force.

Physical function: Poor

In that situation, the husband merely intended to have a child with Wenjing, but little did he know that he had invested all his feelings in her. Wenjing also found herself somewhat attracted to this outstandingly handsome man who treated her well. However, every time she was with him, she felt a sense of conflict, believing she was betraying her sister. Yet, under the man's persistent reassurances, she managed not to dwell on it too much

One cannot live by one's own sins. It seems that the younger sister, who was killed by her elder sister, still loves her sister, believing that everything is the fault of herself and that man, which is why she only killed that man. Alas, what kind of relationship is this? Zhang Chen suddenly recalled why only his father had issues at home; perhaps that woman wanted to kill all men. If he had been a few days later, his father might have already been in trouble.

As Zhang Chen was troubled by this matter, the shards of glass, stones, and other debris on the ground unexpectedly began to float. Pieces of glass started to gather and form a glass cup, which was then placed back on the washstand. The fragments of stone also slowly converged towards the cracked wall, becoming intact once more, while the bones nearby floated back to their original position. To Zhang Chen, everything seemed as if time was reversing, except for "Wen Jing" and her son, who remained unchanged.

Once the seeds of madness are sown, they cannot be retracted. When Wenjuan's husband and her sister's child were born, the seeds finally grew into a large tree. One night, Wenjuan stepped out of her dormitory and saw her husband sleeping sweetly with her sister, which made her smile faintly. She took the newborn from the crib to the bathroom and directly stuffed it into the toilet. Due to the small opening of the toilet, Wenjuan turned on the water and forcefully pushed the baby down while flushing the toilet.
