Late at night.
In the pitch-black library, it was exceptionally quiet.
The low breaths of the crowd intertwined, resembling a hellish battlefield.
Shen Ling stood on the second floor of the library, coldly sensing the atmosphere in the darkness.
Unlike his previous life, he had completely awakened his talent in this life and even contracted with a catastrophe beast, no longer the pitiful figure easily slaughtered by others.
Even so, there was little joy on Shen Ling's face.
In his past life, he survived for three days purely by luck; this library was not absolutely safe!
Bang!
A crisp shattering sound echoed from the top floor, resonating throughout the entire library.
Shen Ling felt no surprise, only that things were slightly troublesome.
It was uncertain whether it was due to changes in the world line that caused these catastrophe beasts, which should have appeared a day later, to emerge early at this moment.
----
Catastrophe Beast Name: Saw-toothed Vampire Bat
Race: Aboriginal Beast Tribe
Race Potential: Spirit Communication
Growth Level: High-Level Spirit Communication
Description: A native catastrophe beast from the disaster spirit realm, Bloodthirsty and extremely ferocious, possessing special sonic abilities that can recklessly harvest lives in the dark.
Screams occasionally echoed, but Shen Ling had no intention of helping.
These Jagged-toothed Demon Bats were only high-level spirit beasts, yet their numbers were overwhelming, and they excelled in fighting in the dark.
Underestimating these Jagged-toothed Demon Bats would only bring Shen Ling closer to death.
In this library, the true darkness was never the catastrophe beast, but the human heart.
Moreover, if Shen Ling remembered correctly, in the previous life during this battle, two individuals awakened within the library, and it was with their help that the others managed to survive.
Not long after.
Two familiar fluctuations emerged.
Shen Ling slightly squinted his eyes; a flash of innate mark appeared, and the beast's form materialized in the air.
"It’s your time to perform now; go kill!"
With a low growl, the beast vanished into the darkness.
Shen Ling also stepped out from the shadows, quietly looking up and sensing the source of the two awakening fluctuations.
The screams gradually diminished, replaced by a wave of revelry and excitement.
"We're saved!"
Then a rough male voice sounded.
"Hahaha! So that's how it is!"
"I'm here to rescue you!"
A chill swept through the air as a figure radiating extreme cold rushed out, sweeping at the Jagged-toothed Demon Bat in the sky.
The corpse of a demon bat fell before Shen Ling, who reached out to catch it, activating the talent 【Soul Grazing Touch】!
Comprehensive ability analysis.
Physique: 180 / Attack: 39 / Agility: 55 / Defense: 22 / Element: 0 / Will: 14
Overall combat power: 5
Skills: Unlocked.
Talent: Unlocked.
Please select the abilities you wish to extract.
Shen Ling frowned slightly, then released the corpse from his hand, allowing it to drop.
These demon bats are just ordinary ones, not worth much.
As he sighed, the bat swarm had already been mostly killed, with the remaining ones fleeing the library.
"To all surviving comrades in the library, please gather on the seventh floor! We have discovered an opportunity for everyone to survive!"
The rough male voice echoed once more.
Shen Ling recalled the beast and stored it in his soul space before slowly making his way upstairs.
Upon reaching the seventh floor, he found nearly a hundred people standing there, somewhat sparse.
Taichu Ling's eyes quickly scanned over a woman.
Strange?
Wasn't this the woman who awakened her wind element enhancement talent in his previous life?
Could it be that the changes in the world line had such a significant impact?
Shen Ling felt no fluctuations from her.
He continued to scan the crowd and finally spotted two men.
One of them was Qin Kai, while the other was a middle-aged man in a dark suit, whose eyes displayed not only pride but also an unmistakable lewdness.
However, neither of these men matched Shen Ling's memories at all.
What on earth was going on?
"Students, my name is Qin Kai, and this gentleman beside me is Chen Kehua, who is also a teacher at our school. As you can see, some unexpected changes are happening in the world right now."
Qin Kai paused here, exchanged a glance with Chen Kehua, and continued.
"If we are not mistaken, the apocalypse has arrived."
As soon as these words were spoken, a murmur erupted among the crowd.
"The apocalypse? How could that be!"
"Are we really going to die here?"
"I don't want to die yet!"
Such comments echoed continuously, while Shen Ling remained expressionless, and Qin Kai took the opportunity to speak again.
"However, Mr. Chen Kehua and I have now gained abilities that are difficult to explain scientifically. With the help of these abilities, we will definitely be able to survive in this end of the world."
"Really?"
Everyone cast curious glances.
"Could there really be superpowers?"
A few boys couldn't help but ask.
Qin Kai remained silent, while Chen Kehua stepped forward. A mark of talent flashed on his hand, and suddenly a deep blue ice sphere appeared in the air.
As Chen Kehua's thoughts moved, the ice ball flew into the air and exploded with a loud bang.
Ice element control?
Shen Ling's expression remained unchanged as he turned to look at Qin Kai. What was his talent then?
However, the crowd had already gone wild.
"My God, did you see that? That was ice, right?"
"Could it really be superpowers?"
"Teacher Qin, how did you all acquire your superpowers?"
Qin Kai smiled awkwardly in response.
"I don't even know how it happened."
Chen Kehua then cleared his throat and said, "I do have some guesses about the superpowers; perhaps it's due to the physical condition of me and Teacher Qin."
"Also, from now on, Teacher Qin and I will temporarily take on the role of leaders for our little team. You must follow our orders; this is for your protection!"
"The requirements we propose also need to be executed unconditionally by you."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd expressed their dissatisfaction.
"What? Does that mean we have to become your slaves? I can't..."
Bang!
Before the person could finish speaking, Chen Kehua had already launched another ice ball at him.
The cold burst froze him into an ice sculpture.
"Now, is there anyone who still wants to argue?"
Chen Kehua spoke again, and no one dared to say a word.
Qin Kai's face seemed to show a hint of reluctance, but in the end, he remained silent.
Taichu Ling sneered inwardly.
The awakened ones had changed, the awakened talents had changed, but human nature remained the same.
In the early days of this dark disaster, humanity was truly the least important thing.
In his previous life, he could only be a servant to those few, but in this life, he had already surpassed two of them and become a Soul Contract Practitioner.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Chen Kehua immediately continued.
"If there are no objections, you, you, and you."
"You few come with me over there; I need to check something."
As Chen Kehua spoke, he pointed at several girls with a lewd grin on his face.
The meaning in the words is self-evident.
One of them is the girl who saved Shen Ling in a past life.
"What... what?"
The three girls clearly did not expect that Chen Kehua would make such a request.
Just as they were about to refuse, the one who had opposed earlier had already turned into an ice sculpture, still emanating coldness around her.
To resist would mean death; at least if they did not resist, they could still live.
The other two seemed resigned, their expressions dimming as they lowered their heads and walked towards Chen Kehua.
Only the girl who had saved Shen Ling wore an angry expression.
"What do you want to do? I will not go with you!"
