Who is the Big Crow in Chapter 127?
Looking at the two lively characters, one big and one small, Li Xiulan felt her temples throbbing.
Tired.
I'm truly exhausted.
The younger one was mischievous from a young age, and as he grew up, he awakened a whole host of unlucky "rebellious" abilities.
Originally, the plan was to send them to Japan to wreak havoc on others and, incidentally, let them get acquainted with the world of Awakened Ones.
But then, this kid actually showed up in America without a word.
And they've made such a big commotion here.
Does he really think the whole world can't do anything about him?
As for the bigger ones, he can't even be bothered to look at them now.
Twenty years ago, he was at least considered one of the world's top experts.
But so many years have passed.
Now look what's happened, they're actually acting like pushovers.
I haven't used my hands in twenty years, and my brain isn't as sharp as it used to be!
Where is this place?
This is the US military base!
Although our family is not afraid of trouble, you shouldn't come here so ostentatiously to cause trouble, right?
You should know that those politicians in the US are completely unscrupulous in achieving their goals.
Fortunately, she's the one who keeps things in order at home.
Otherwise, it will fall apart sooner or later!
"Alright."
Li Xiulan sighed and put down her water glass.
"Go to sleep after you've eaten your fill."
She stood up, her gaze sweeping over the mess on the table before finally settling on Lin Jianguo, whose mouth was greasy.
"I'll get plenty of rest tonight, and I estimate the church people will arrive before tomorrow morning."
Those guys might be a bit dim-witted, but their skills are definitely not just for show.
"Okay! Honey!"
With his wife saying all that, what could Lin Jianguo possibly say?
He nodded hastily, as if granted a pardon, and stuffed the last bite of the hamburger into his mouth.
In order to show that he obeyed the organization's arrangements, he didn't even dare to chew it and swallowed it whole.
He choked so badly his eyes rolled back, and he quickly grabbed a can of cola and gulped down two mouthfuls before he could catch his breath.
However, at this moment, he was very self-aware and didn't dare to say anything about sleeping with his wife.
"Hey honey, you rest first, I... I'll just squeeze in with our son!"
Lin Jianguo smiled obsequiously, his humble appearance a far cry from the domineering presence he had shown when he tore the meteorite apart.
Lin Fan watched from the side and couldn't help but grimac.
This family status is just unbelievable.
If anyone asks him who his father is in the future, he'll be too embarrassed to say that he's the amazing guy who almost demolished Los Angeles.
"Who told you to squeeze in?"
Li Xiulan glanced at him.
"There are so many motel rooms nearby, go find an empty room and sleep there yourself. You're all sweaty, don't let the smell bother your son."
Lin Jianguo: "..."
Lin Fan: "Pfft."
Seeing his father's face fall instantly, Lin Fan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Should!
Serves you right for showing off!
You think you can act all high and mighty?
Isn't that a bit too much of a boast?
Still feeling smug, Lin Fan was glared at by his mother, and he quickly stopped smiling and lowered his head.
……
This less-than-pleasant dinner ended in this strange and somewhat comical atmosphere.
It must be said that although the US government has been incredibly cowardly at this critical juncture, its logistical support has been truly excellent.
The only people in the entire motel were the family of three and a woman in red.
of course,
It is suspected that the reason why the higher-ups are doing this is partly due to a delaying tactic.
However, Lin Fan and his family of three didn't care about this.
Although the room was a bit old and had a musty smell, the bed was really soft.
Lin Fan lay on the bed in a "spread-eagle" position, looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, his mind a jumble of thoughts, like a train running through his head.
All of these are bizarre experiences from today.
My dad is a hidden big shot, and he's also incredibly cunning and twisted.
I thought my dad was already brave enough, but I never expected my mom to be just as brave.
It's even more terrifying than Lao Lin.
Of course, what made him even more speechless was that even the dog at home might be some kind of mythical beast descended from heaven.
Good guy,
So he's the only one in the family who's just there to make up the numbers.
"What the hell is this...?"
Lin Fan rolled over, buried his face in the pillow, and mumbled something.
As I thought about it, drowsiness washed over me like a tide.
That was a really tough day.
First, he was chased, then he watched his dad tear a meteorite apart with his bare hands, and then his mom delivered a devastating blow.
It's just that he has a big heart; otherwise, he would probably have already booked a bed in a mental hospital by now.
Gradually, Lin Fan's breathing became steady.
……
Tick.
Tick.
I don't know how much time passed.
In a daze, Lin Fan felt as if someone had turned on a tap next to his ear.
Moreover, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped sharply, and a cold, damp atmosphere seeped into the bones through the pores.
"hiss--"
Lin Fan shuddered and instinctively tried to pull the blanket tighter around himself.
But he missed his target.
What I touched wasn't a soft silk quilt, but something slippery, cold, and even slightly sticky...
What the hell?
"Holy crap?"
Lin Fan was still half asleep when his heart skipped a beat, and his sleepiness vanished instantly.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
As far as the eye could see, there was no hotel ceiling, not even a sliver of light.
black.
It was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
That kind of black wasn't like the black of night; it was more like someone had gouged out your eyes—pure black, a black that was terrifying.
"What's going on?"
"Sleep paralysis?"
"Could it be that church Mom mentioned, trying to ambush me while I was asleep?"
Lin Fan sprang up from the ground instantly, adopting a defensive stance. Although he didn't know if the stance was correct, he had to project an imposing aura first.
"Who?!"
"come out!"
"Stop playing tricks! I'm cursed with calamity, believe me or not, I'll kill one of you!"
The sound echoed in the darkness, carrying a hollow resonance.
however.
No one answered.
Only the intermittent "tick-tock" sound still echoed in my ears.
Tick.
Tick.
It's like some kind of viscous liquid dripping from a height into a pool.
Lin Fan swallowed hard, his heart starting to race.
What the hell is this place?
At that moment, he had already made his choice in an instant.
If things go wrong, I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately.
However, just as he was thinking this...
A faint yet remarkably clear voice suddenly resounded deep within his mind.
"Boss...!"
The sound was strange.
It doesn't sound like something a human would make.
It's more like... having a mouthful of water or a gurgling, murky feeling in your throat.
And it even has a hint of oyster flavor.
What the hell?
Boss?
Who are you calling? Me?
"Who?!"
Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end. "Who's speaking?!"
He looked around, but it was still pitch black.
The sound didn't come through his ears; it exploded directly inside his brain!
"Boss...!"
The voice rang out again, this time a little clearer, carrying a hint of cautious probing, and a strange... grievance?
"I am... a... big... crow..."
Big Crow?
What is a giant crow?
Lin Fan was stunned.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
He searched his mind for the name quickly.
Primary school classmate?
My best friend from junior high?
Or is it the uncle who sells jianbing guozi next door?
Wait a minute, I don't know anyone named Da Wu.
and many more!
Lin Fan's pupils suddenly contracted; he seemed to have realized something...
