…
“…A small passenger plane headed for Odran has lost contact with the ground, according to an employee at the control center, this plane…”
In the hotel, Brian turned off the TV and opened the box on the coffee table.
Inside the box were three reagents, all Auditory Enhancent Reagents, ear drop style, sold in sets of three, with effects varying from person to person.
Brian had gained slight auditory enhancent thanks to fulfilling that captain’s obsession.
This slight talent, combined with his physical condition, proved quite effective.
He now wanted to try using the reagent again to see if the effects would be even better.
Beside him,
the dazed girl stared blankly at Brian’s actions and suddenly asked, “What is this, Mr.
Brian?”
“Enhancent Reagent, it can give people so special abilities, similar to your current situation,”
Brian patiently explained.
The girl was Linda.
When her parents saw the monstrous traits on Linda, they did not need Brian’s persuasion to convince Linda to follow Brian.
It hurt Linda deeply.
Her parents were not the inclusive kind portrayed in movies.
Their gazes toward Linda were filled with fear and rejection.
They even wished that Brian would keep it a secret and quietly take Linda away, so the townspeople would not know about Linda becoming a monster.
This left Linda disheartened, numbly following Brian onto the car.
…
The comnt she made was the first thing Linda had initiated since leaving ho.
Seeing this, Brian felt a bit relieved.
It was good that she was willing to speak.
Otherwise, for a fifteen-year-old girl, he didn’t have much experience handling.
Brian gently comforted her, “So you are not a monster, just a new type of human that ordinary people don’t know about.
If you are a monster, then I am too, as are many officials.
You are not alone.”
In Linda’s eyes, a flicker of life returned.
She looked at Brian with expectation, “Really?”
“Of course,” Brian affird, nodding his head.
He casually picked up the glass ashtray from the coffee table, clasped his hands together.
In the next mont,
the sturdy ashtray crisply shattered like a chip, rcilessly crushed by Brian’s palms into countless glass fragnts that fell into the trash can.
Seeing this, Linda’s mouth dropped open, “That’s amazing!”
“Ha ha.”
Brian ruffled Linda’s hair, “So don’t worry, I’ll take you to Los Angeles to et so new friends.
You’ll have a new life and lots to do there…
it’s a bustling place.”
Next,
Brian painted many grand pictures for Linda.
He might not understand fifteen-year-old girls, but he understood human nature.
Humans have a self-defense chanism.
When they perceive their situation as terrible, they subconsciously want to escape their current environnt.
If soone paints a rosy picture for them, they beco hopeful and may even see the new environnt as their only redemption.
In fact, so of the large number of people who go missing in the United States each year are lured away by foreign scamrs using this tactic.
Linda was captivated by the scenes described by Brian.
Her eyes regained their sparkle, showing a hint of anticipation for her future life and so nervousness.
However, this nervousness was significantly lessened in the presence of the tall, reasonably good-looking Brian.
She even harbored so typical teenage girl fantasies.
…
Watching Linda shyly blush, stooping with a coy posture.
Brian’s nostrils flared, his expression suddenly beca strange: Teenagers, regardless of gender, have raging hormones…
He simply took the box and returned to his own room.
The Auditory Enhancent Reagent ca in three vials.
Following the label, Brian first dropped the number one reagent into both ears.
This stuff, similar to a pill, mostly consists of inactive ingredients.
The reagent was the sa.
As the liquid entered his ears and touched air, it automatically congealed into a sphere, and with a slight tilt of the head, it rolled into the ear canal.
The mont it touched the eardrum, the spherical liquid lted and rged into the surrounding bodily tissue.
The operation on the other ear was similar.
The stuff worked quickly.
Almost imdiately after completing these steps, Brian felt a warmth in the area of both ears, a large number of nerves beca active, and even started to proliferate.
According to field personnel and the previous Ellie, this process was supposed to last about ten seconds, the longer the better.
Brian figured it was his physique and the previous slight auditory enhancent talent that made his absorption of the reagent exaggeratedly effective, taking a full half-minute before the feeling subsided.
He briefly tested the enhancent effects.
His auditory nerves had developed significantly and had also increased substantially.
His precise hearing range, which initially span around ten ters, had extended by about three ters, equivalent to an enhancent of over twenty percent.
“Continue..”
The remaining two reagents were also used by Brian.
Normally, the effectiveness of these things would definitely diminish.
But that wasn’t the case for Brian.
It was like the previous auditory enhancent plug-in could not et the demands of his body’s performance; now with the supply of the Enhancent Reagent, it was like rain after a long drought, with surprisingly good effects.
He absorbed all three reagents.
Brian’s precise hearing range had directly reached more than thirty ters in radius, and his effective hearing range had reached nearly two hundred ters.
Even if soone whispered bad things about him from two hundred ters away, he could hear them now.
That was pretty cool!
Of course, with physical obstacles and external forces, this range would also fluctuate, still adhering to basic physical principles.
…
Enhancent complete.
Brian was about to leave the room when he distinctly heard weird noises coming from Linda’s mouth in the next room, along with so strange actions…
They were all coming of age.
He imdiately understood.
“Ah, my damned charm.”
Brian sighed, walked to the window, lit an incense stick, gazed at the street and passersby outside, and diverted his thoughts, wondering how Benjamin would find him.
A dozen minutes later.
Sounds of water flushing ca from next door.
Followed by wiping and dressing.
It seed about right.
Only then did Brian open the door and called Linda to go for lunch.
..
“Mr.
Brian, do you always have such a good appetite?”
Linda asked in surprise, wearing small sunglasses.
She still couldn’t control her body changes well and, driven by emotions, would sotis exhibit unusual physical reactions; thus, she had to wear sunglasses when out.
“Not bad.”
Brian responded indifferently, then tore into the one-pound steak in front of him and gulped it down in a few bites.
They had already changed to three different restaurants and had lunch three tis.
Of course, Brian was the main eater.
As for Linda, her eating habits hadn’t shown anything special yet, probably because the special energy carried by the Beastification Reagent hadn’t fully dispersed.
Brian was no longer the greenhorn he used to be.
With his extensive knowledge and strong mory, he had morized a lot of confidential data and information from the NW organization.
Normally, Beastification Transford People, after completing their transformation, would have a period of frenzied eating, the duration of which was uncertain and differed from individual to individual.
So unprepared or unlucky individuals who ca across the Beastification Reagent might attack humans during this phase.
Brian’s efficiency in absorbing food was very high.
Twenty pounds of at a day, along with so high-calorie foods, were enough to maintain his basic physical energy consumption.
After eating.
He took Linda back to the hotel they were at before.
Brian planned to give Benjamin two days to find him.
If he hadn’t shown up in two days, he would take Linda back to Los Angeles first to deal with Benjamin’s leftover laboratory.
..
In the evening.
Brian had just ended a sowhat mushy call with Susan.
Linda, who was watching TV beside him, looked a bit sad, “Mr.
Brian, you have a girlfriend.”
“Yes, her na is Susan, she is also an enhanced individual, and she should be able to help you grow; you two could get along well.
Susan has a very amiable nature, providing a special sense of security.
You would probably like her.”
Brian’s affirmative reply dashed the flicker of romantic affection Linda had just begun to feel.
Linda nodded listlessly.
Just as Brian was about to go and get so snacks, his phone, which he had just put down, rang again.
He picked up the phone and saw an unknown number on the screen, his expression turning odd.
Oh crap, this couldn’t be Benjamin.
..
The call connected.
Hearing the voice, Brian was sowhat speechless.
It really was Benjamin.
This guy’s way of finding people was indeed direct.
