523 Awakening: Part 2

After the Lin husband and wife left, in the bedroom on the first floor, Lin Xiao sat silently in front of the dressing table, holding a brow pencil, gazing at herself in the mirror-like a statue .

“Didn’t you worry about your younger brother’s safety as he studies abroad? Powerless people could only groan and bear it . This is your sad reality . ”

A tempting voice of a female rang in Lin Xiao’s ears .

“You have seen for yourself in school when monsters attacked the students, their lives were just as fragile as flowers, withering with just the snap of their stems . How vulnerable! Your parents, your younger brother, your teachers and classmates—everyone is vulnerable . Without the power to protect yourself, you can only live in extreme insecurity . You can protect yourself or resist . ”

“What are you?” asked Lin Xiao calmly .

She felt scared the first time she heard the voice . After a few times and knowing more, the fear had gone and was followed by an irresistible temptation .

She wanted power more than anything else—the power to protect her family, friends, teachers, and classmates . She did not want the tragedies that she had seen happen to herself . But wishes were only wishes . She had tried but found no ways and means to get the power . But now she seemed to have a fresh opportunity .

“I am you…” The demon-like female voice still resounded in her ears . “…and you are me . We are one . Break the chain and discard your worries . Relax and obtain your freedom… then you will find massive power that you could never imagine . Come, accept me…”

Following the temptation, Lin Sheng’s eyes in the mirror turned pale fuchsia gradually . Purple lines appeared around her eyes, like tattoos, living creatures, rapidly spreading across her face .

In the surrounding air, dark power that looked like bundles of silk appeared . This primordial power was neutral in itself, existing everywhere in the universe, formless and invisible .

The dark power began to gather and condense rapidly around Lin Xiao . The surging dark power gathered and attracted a massive cloud of gray gas in the sky above Lin Sheng’s home . As the gas built up, it formed into dark clouds in the sky . Thunder and lightning started to dance in the clouds, the sky dimming with rain looming .

“It has started!”

In the courtyard next door, Hanyu and Nisse got to their feet . They were wearing a special protective suit to block off the corrosion of the dark power .

“Dark power is a branch of Chaotic Power in nature . It is highly corrosive and will devour any ordinary human who comes into contact with it, turning them to become part of the darkness,” said Hanyu solemnly . “That’s why we have to be well-prepared . Are you ready, Nisse?”

Nisse was adjusting the watch, which was a special instrument, on her wrist . “Ready . I’ve detected a powerful dark power . It’s coming from next door!”

“Then, let’s go . ” Hanyu tossed an irregular-shaped sapphire in his hand . “If everything goes well, we might save many lives . Once the Night Matriarch awakens and goes on a rampage, she will not only murder her family but also massacre hundreds of innocent people in her surroundings . ” Nisse’s parents would be among them .

Nisse nodded resolutely . They pushed open the courtyard door and headed toward Lin Xiao’s home .

It was now or never . It would all be determined in the next hour because the Night Matriarch was going to awaken and go into a rampage in an hour’s time .

The wind chimes were making a pleasant clinking sound in the background as Lange wiped the antique pen in his hand . He looked up and into the distance as if sensing something .

“I’m surprised! I thought I was the only one . It seems someone has awakened to the dark power, too . ”

No one could understand the terror and scale of the dark power more than he did . It was unlimited energy . As long as one could stand the load, he or she would turn into a perpetual motion machine, bursting with unlimited terrifying destructive power .

In gaming terms, it would be a mage with unlimited spells with no need for a cooldown . The only limiting factor of the Awakened of dark power was his or her physical strength . The awakened would be able to maintain whatever level of dark power he or she could produce with no drop in performance . This was the scary part of dark power .

They did not need cultivation . All it took was silently waiting for the dark power to enhance their physique, assimilating themselves with it so they could muster more dark power .

In simple words, this was a terrifying physique that enhanced itself even during its sleep .

“Interesting . ” Lange smiled .

“If you could make it through, I will welcome you to be my partner,” he mumbled and continued to wipe his fountain pen as if the surging dark power out there had never been there before .

“It’s coming!”

Inside a hotel near Lin Xiao’s house, two men, tall built, wearing white combat suits, were standing in front of the opened window, looking at the dark clouds gathering in the sky .

“How did you know that? I could sense nothing,” the other said with surprise .

“Neither did I . It just looks like natural dark clouds,” said the first man . “But it is entirely normal because dark power is highly elusive . Everything in the world, different types of energy, of which ninety percent contain dark power . It is everywhere, the foundation that supports space and time, and the universe . Aside from the Awakened of Dark Power, no one else can sense anything different . ”

“Then, you?”

“It was just a wild guess, idiot! No dark clouds could gather so fast . ”

The other man rolled his eyes .

“Let’s go . It’s time . ”

The two men closed the curtains and turned, heading towards the door .

In a courtyard unseen by naked eyes, beads of black diamond crystals were floating and spinning quietly in the air . Connecting the black diamond crystals were strains of black silk, on which dark power was flowing like black ink . Just by looking at it, it would make one want to plunge into it .

The courtyard of Lin Xiao’s house was filled with these things—in the garden compound, under the walls, beside the table and chairs . These crystals were everywhere .

“Be careful . The dark power is still not that strong now . So long as we get near with equipment and activate the Sober Gemstone, we can leave,” Hanyu telepathically said to Nisse .

“Got it . You be careful!” Nisse worriedly held his hand .

“I know . Here she comes!” Hanyu whispered . “You get things ready while I will buy you some time! We have underestimated the Night Matriarch’s ability . She has discovered us earlier than we have expected, but it’s okay . If she is a fully grown Night Matriarch, getting KO’ed by her is entirely expected . But now, I can still hold her back for a while . ”

Hanyu looked up, his eyes focused past the courtyard on the slim figure walking out of the living room . Out of the shadow came a flirtatious face covered in a fuchsia pattern . Lin Xiao now possessed an added amazing charm compared to normal days; people would unknowingly get closer and fall for her look .

“Since we are exposed, let’s go for Plan B!”

Hanyu telepathized and lunged forward . He started to float in the air, leaving behind streaks of irregular trails behind him as he flew at high speed toward Lin Xiao . In his hand was the sapphire that he had prepared in advance .

“Wake up, Lin Xiao!” He hurled the sapphire toward her .
