Chapter 94: Chapter 89 Taboo Item (4 more updates for monthly ticket)
Red wine down the hatch, feasting on hotpot, the five who had just experienced a brush with death now seed rejuvenated, cheerfully raising their glasses.
"KIKI sister, has your superpower really evolved?"
Just as the wine glasses were set down, Sha Sha couldn’t wait to ask.
KIKI nodded, proudly boasting, "Thanks to soone’s blessing, I can clearly feel that my superpower has leveled up!"
"No wonder it was so impressive." Chen Sixuan’s eyes sparkled, "I haven’t even thanked you for saving
just now."
"Why thank
when Sister Chen, you’ve saved all of us countless tis already?" KIKI said nonchalantly, her eyes slyly glancing towards Lin Xian, "Speaking of which Lin Xian, weren’t you going to share where you vanished off to these past two days?"
Lin Xian just chuckled, "Don’t you know where I went?"
At his words, KIKI blushed and hastily said, "I... I an, how did you... end up there?"
The other few listened to their exchange with blank expressions.
Lin Xian took a deep breath, stood up, walked over to the couch, picked up the radio, and brought it over.
"If there’s no other explanation, then I must have been captured by this thing."
"1542, Mysterious Radio!"
Lin Xian then recounted to everyone what he had seen after the incident, but he only glossed over the part involving KIKI, ntioning that he saw the process of KIKI becoming Fallen and shared his analysis.
Lin Xian’s narrative drastically changed the expressions of the others.
"So that was really your footsteps after all!" Sha Sha seed like she was listening to a horrifying story, frowning, "So Brother Lin, did you kill
over there?"
Lin Xian laughed sheepishly, "That was purely a misunderstanding; that thing was trying to destroy my ntal defenses."
At first, Lin Xian thought it was a supernatural event, but looking back, it appeared that not only the night, but many unknown forces were also assaulting the ntal will of survivors.
Sha Sha’s eyes lit up, "So Brother Lin does care about , seeing
being killed nearly drove you insane, hehe."
Lin Xian was montarily stunned; was this really where the young girl’s focus was?
Chen Sixuan, standing to the side, looked a bit frightened,
"So I turned off that radio, and it happened to remind you?"
Lin Xian nodded, "Right, thanks to your prompt, and for adjusting the frequency using the light, otherwise I would never have made it back."
"Smart, Lin Xian!" KIKI listened with amazent, "Are you saying, after I passed out, there was an invisible monster sucking my blood?"
"Yes."
"Ugh..." KIKI recoiled clutching her neck, her face turning pale, "How disgusting..."
Lin Xian’s expression grew grave; he looked toward Building, "Building, do you rember what I said when we escaped Yuchi that day?"
Building nodded.
Lin Xian continued,
"At that ti, I was wondering why, whether it was sound or light, it would only attract Zombies and Ghouls. When the Abnormalities were alard, they seed to be already around us."
"And this ti, being captured by the Mysterious Radio made
feel that so things might have always been around us, just out of view. So appear only in the night; others need special thods to be seen..."
His words caused the won’s complexions to shift slightly, and Sha Sha couldn’t help but shiver, looking around fearfully,
"My God, are you saying that those terrifying things could have always been right beside us?!"
"Yes."
Lin Xian said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s countenance changed.
The speculative analysis on Abnormal Bodies stemd from Lin Xian’s conjecture; although not absolutely certain, it served as a caution for everyone.
It also made him more cautious, and through this event, Lin Xian recognized the importance of another device.
The Soul Swinging Value Detector!
This device can detect special values produced by threats such as Abnormal Bodies, Zombies, etc. In a certain sense, it is definitely a world-saving discovery. As can be seen from Lin Xian’s countless narrow escapes from death along the way, it’s very important for humanity to actively avoid danger to preserve the fire of survival. Otherwise, ten thousand lives wouldn’t be enough to die.
"I think I might know what this 1542 radio station is all about!"
At the dining table, KIKI squinted her eyes towards Lin Xian, "Mysterious phenona, but unrelated to Superpower Users. Lin Xian, have you looked at the early information on the Angel Plan I gave you?"
Lin Xian took out the small portable hard drive, frowning.
"I haven’t, I’ve barely slept these days, no ti to look at this..."
KIKI then snapped her fingers, picked up the hard drive, and ran to Carriage 2. After operating on the computer, she returned with a mobile screen.
"I think, it should be this thing."
"We focused on Superpower before, but ignored these strange and unusual events. Take a look."
The mobile screen was showing information from an earlier Angel Plan project.
Lin Xian took it and saw that the file was titled "Global Investigation Report on Mysterious/Extraordinary Phenona"
This report ca from a special departnt under the bygone Federation Governnt’s Angel Plan called the Special Item Investigation Departnt, which, in its investigation reports, recorded many mysterious phenona gathered in the early polar nights, and these phenona all had one thing in common:
That is, each of the mysterious phenona was triggered by a certain specific item, and these items belonged to so existing objects on Blue Star, which began to trigger mysterious events after Apocalypse Day and were considered to have been tainted by so special force, turning them into extraordinary objects.
These objects were called "Taboo Item" by the Angel Plan, which ant "specific items that can cause regional or contagious mysterious/extraordinary events"
And in this early investigation report, more than a dozen bizarre mysteries/extraordinary phenona were collected, but only two were confird and contained by the Angel Plan.

KIKI opened a bottle of Coke and took a sip, then said to Lin Xian,
"Although there are not many investigation reports, now that you ntion it, I feel that radio station is very likely one of these kinds of things."
