It seems you know a lot, but it's useless, because you'll forget all of this after it's over!" Bennet said indifferently, then ordered his men to act.
"Don't even think about resisting; he can block your Ability, so… why don't you cooperate obediently?"
"Is that so?"
Looking at Bennet's confident expression, Su Zhan's lips curled into a faint smile, and then… his body released Fire.
A moment later, the restraints on him had been incinerated.
He floated up, then slowly landed.
The Fire on Su Zhan's body abruptly retracted.
He shrugged at the surprised and panicked Bennet and Haitian, "It seems my Ability hasn't been blocked after all…"
"This… this is impossible!"
After his initial surprise, Bennet once again pulled out a tranquilizer gun, preparing to sedate Su Zhan.
Su Zhan flicked his hand lightly, and a spark suddenly appeared.
Bennet's gun instantly exploded, almost blowing off Bennet's hand.
Chapter 0121 Mind Reading
Bennet frantically shook his hand, looking at Su Zhan in disbelief.
Haitian's Ability had never failed.
Many powerful super-Ability users here had to be as obedient as ordinary people, but he didn't expect it to fail this time; his Ability was ineffective against Su Zhan.
Bennet turned to run, but Su Zhan waved his hand, and in an instant, the laboratory door closed.
Immediately after, Su Zhan's body moved abruptly, and in a flash, the few people in the room fell to the ground, knocked unconscious by Su Zhan.
After he knocked them down, Haitian's Devouring Ability also disappeared.
In fact, his Ability hadn't failed; it just hadn't fully functioned due to the difference in strength.
Su Zhan's Telekinesis, freezing Ability, and so on, were thus rendered ineffective.
However, Human Torch's Ability was too strong, surpassing Haitian's Ability, which was why he wasn't affected.
This Ability must be acquired!
Su Zhan looked at Haitian and unleashed his Mind Control Ability on him, just like when he modified Kira, he altered his memories.
He couldn't continuously Devour now, so he could only keep him by his side for now and find an opportunity to Devour him after his body adjusted.
After controlling Haitian, Su Zhan woke him up and then had him delete the memories of the others one by one.
As for Bennet, his memories weren't deleted; instead, like Haitian, he was controlled by Su Zhan.
"Take me on a tour!"
Su Zhan said, and Bennet led the way, while Haitian quietly followed behind Su Zhan.
After a simple tour, he learned that there was another super-Ability user here, whom they had just caught and were preparing to research…
Seeing this person, Su Zhan couldn't help but laugh.
He was a chubby, seemingly honest-looking Police officer named Matt, who possessed the Ability of mind-reading.
If he hadn't interfered, after Sera killed Molly's parents, Matt would have been in charge of the case and found the hidden Molly.
However, he would have been suspected of being Sera, and then by a strange turn of events, he would have worked with the FBI on the investigation.
Being able to know what others are thinking is indeed a good Ability, but unfortunately, Matt later heard about his wife's affair, and even if he didn't want to hear it, he couldn't stop it.
One can imagine how depressed he was.
"Arrange a room for me to rest."
Su Zhan planned to rest here today and leave tomorrow after Devouring Matt's Ability.
Bennet arranged a room for Su Zhan, and Su Zhan let him go about his own business.
As for Haitian, he was kept by Su Zhan's side; Su Zhan planned to study the extent of this Devouring Ability.
...
...
The night quietly passed, the rising sun heralded a new day.
Su Zhan, who had woken up, felt his body was in excellent condition; he had completely integrated the freezing Ability and the positioning Ability.
He had Haitian activate the Devouring Ability, and Su Zhan tried to release the freezing Ability, but it still didn't succeed, or rather, it didn't fully succeed!
Only faint frost and ice shards appeared on his hands; it didn't completely freeze.
However, yesterday, he couldn't even do that.
After completely integrating the Ability, the effect was much better.
Coming out of the room, Su Zhan went directly to see Matt.
Seeing Su Zhan and Haitian suddenly enter, Matt hurriedly shouted, "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Let me go! I'm a Police officer!"
"Don't be nervous; you'll be released soon!
But before that, there are two more things to do!" Su Zhan said with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's simple.
You can read minds, right?
You can try to read my thoughts." Su Zhan gestured to Haitian, and Haitian withdrew the Devouring Ability.
Matt looked at Su Zhan, cocked his head, and listened.
A moment later, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't do it; it's as if something is blocking it!"
"Now?" Su Zhan asked again.
Matt paused for a moment and said, "You want to Devour my Ability?"
"It seems it's because of the lantern ring's mental barrier, which can block your mind-reading.
That is to say, your mind-reading might not be effective against people with Mind Control or similar Abilities, unless they don't deliberately protect themselves, then there's a chance of success!
Hmm, it's also a good Ability!"
Su Zhan didn't care about Matt's surprise, nor was he afraid of Matt knowing his secret.
"Since you already know, it saves me from having to explain it again!"
Su Zhan smiled at Matt.
Matt was initially a bit flustered, but he quickly calmed down.
He had already heard what Su Zhan was thinking, so he knew that what Su Zhan said was true, that there was no danger, and that he would be released afterward, and his memories of being here would also be deleted.
Matt gave up resisting, and the Devouring process went much more smoothly.
Not long after, Su Zhan had already obtained his Ability and then conveniently deleted his memories.
Deleting memories, you see, isn't an Ability that only Haitian possesses.
Having obtained Matt's Ability, Su Zhan didn't plan to stay here any longer.
He instructed Haitian to take Matt out with him, and they left the research institute.
After finding a place to drop off Matt, Su Zhan decided to keep Haitian by his side for now; having him around would make Devouring Abilities more convenient.
It wouldn't be too late to Devour his Ability before leaving this dungeon.
Back in Town, Su Zhan had Haitian go buy some food while he sat in the car looking at the map, preparing to locate Sera.
He had just begun to use his Ability when he heard someone knock on the window.
Su Zhan turned his head and saw the person outside the car window.
Blonde hair, a smiling face, looking very happy.
Rolling down the window, Su Zhan said with a smile, "Claire, why are you here?
At this time, shouldn't you be in school?"
"I went to the hotel to look for you, but the hotel owner said you weren't there.
I didn't expect to find you here!" Claire said with a smile.
"That's great, I thought I wouldn't see you again!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Su Zhan paused, then realized this must be the mind-reading Ability.
"You were worried you wouldn't see me again?" Su Zhan asked with a smile.
Claire was startled, not expecting him to have guessed her thoughts.
She quickly explained, "I've already explained to my father, but he doesn't believe me and told me to stay away from you.
But you're my friend, my benefactor, so I still wanted to personally express my gratitude.
Do you… do you have time?
I'd like to treat you to a meal!"
"Say yes, say yes, you must say yes!"
Looking at Claire's anxious and expectant expression, and hearing her inner hopes, Su Zhan smiled and nodded, "Of course, but I'll treat you!"
Chapter 0122 Claire's Thoughts
Originally, Su Zhan hadn't planned to have a meal with Claire, but since he met Claire and she was so eager, he couldn't refuse.
Besides, having a meal with such a pretty girl wasn't bad, right?
"Get in." Su Zhan called out, then got out of the car and walked around to the driver's seat.
Just then, Haitian returned with some things.
Su Zhan waved to him, then got into the car, started it, and drove away.
