When the time comes, I can forcibly unleash the Black Particle, destroy this thing in an instant while the Mutant controller’s reaction isn’t that fast, and then escape following the route I observed during the day!
Kevin knew that doing this was indeed somewhat dangerous, and there was even a possibility of being caught, then facing a series of punishments and experiments, and finally Death!
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about “playing it safe” and developing for a while, waiting until he grew stronger before destroying this Experiment Base, but…
It’s just that if he didn’t escape, he might die even faster!
He had a feeling that before long, he would face a second experiment, and by then, his body…
Looking at the eighty-three days of lifespan remaining on his System Panel, Kevin’s expression was very ugly.
Not escaping meant Death, while escaping might offer a glimmer of hope; even a fool would know how to choose!
Just then, he noticed something and was slightly stunned.
Just a moment ago, the energy he had consumed earlier from unleashing the Black Particle had actually recovered slightly?
Before he had a means to consume energy, he hadn’t noticed, but now he immediately discovered the difference.
“Is it because I absorbed the moonlight?” Kevin guessed.
It seems moonlight really can be absorbed?
Then, doesn’t that mean there’s one more source of energy points?
Holding this thought, he couldn’t help but shift his position, allowing his body to be more directly exposed to the moonlight.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, he didn’t hear the prompt for Light Energy +1; instead, the energy in his body kept recovering.
“It seems that before the energy in my body recovers, I cannot collect Light Energy?” “Is Light Energy prioritized to supply my body?” Besides this, he also noticed something special: the total amount of Light Energy stored in his body seemed to have exceeded the previous limit!
He guessed the reason.
“Is it because I unlocked two new Abilities, Black Particle and Reflection Shield?” Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
Earlier, when he unleashed the Black Particle, he discovered that the energy in his body decreased by about one-tenth, which meant he could only unleash the Black Particle ten times at most!
Previously, he had worried about whether the energy in his body would be insufficient for using Abilities later, but now that he thought about it, he had been overthinking.
As more Abilities were unlocked, the energy within his body would become increasingly vast, and the number of times he could unleash Abilities would only increase!
Having sorted all this out, he endured the pain in his body, forced himself to move the bed to the range where the moonlight could shine, and then lay down and closed his eyes.
“I wonder what Ability will be unlocked tomorrow?” Accompanied by feelings of anticipation and curiosity, he ignored the noises coming from other cells and soon entered dreamland.
The next day.
The Sun had just risen when Kevin was awakened by a series of notification sounds.
[Light Energy + 1] [Light Energy + 1] Kevin opened his eyes and focused his attention on the System Panel.
[Name: Kevin] [Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 82 days)] [Mutant Ability: Imitation, Energy Absorption] [Current Imitation Target: Orochi (Title: Sun God, Earths Will)] (unlock progress 23%) [Ability: Black Particle (1/100) Level 1, Reflection Shield (0/100) Level 1 (Unlocked)] [energy points: 44] Seeing the number on the energy points, Kevin was not surprised.
The effect of moonlight was already very weak, and combined with the moon’s shifting position, being able to absorb this much was already quite good.
At the first opportunity, he tried adding the energy points to the Black Particle’s experience bar, but to his disappointment, nothing happened.
“It seems that won’t work.” Feeling a bit regretful, he shifted his attention to the unlock progress.
As the energy points returned to zero, the progress bar reached 24%.
After a moment of slight disappointment, he continued to wait.
Time passed…
[Light Energy + 1] [Light Energy + 1] [Light Energy + 1] After absorbing for quite a while, just when he had somewhat lost track of time, a familiar sound of footsteps approached.
With a clatter, a food tray emitting a rancid smell and a bowl of soup faintly emitting a foul odor were placed on the ground.
Frowning at that bowl of soup, he looked towards that White man with an indifferent gaze.
Jill smiled, glanced at him mockingly, and then turned and left leisurely.
Kevin endured it for quite a while, barely managing not to unleash a Black Particle to send that person away.
“Soon…” he muttered to himself.
A while later, as the energy points returned to zero, the unlock progress suddenly jumped.
[unlock progress 26%] A prompt sound followed.
[Ability: Space Transfer (Unlocked)] Listening to the prompt sound ringing in his ears, Kevin’s mood became surprisingly good.
“Space Transfer, it’s finally here!” With this Ability, he was more confident in this prison break operation!
If he hadn’t experimented with the Black Particle and known how surprisingly terrible Level 1 Abilities were, he would have wanted to teleport directly outside the Experiment Base right now.
After sensing carefully and discovering that he could only teleport a distance of about two meters at most, he felt it was a bit useless.
“Forget it, having it is better than not having it; at least it’s very useful when passing through walls and dodging attacks.” Not long after, he discovered that the upper limit of Light Energy in his body had increased again, enough to unleash the Black Particle about thirteen times!
“Barely enough!” Kevin couldn’t help but look forward to the prison break tonight.
Time passed quickly.
Kevin absorbed Light Energy while taking advantage of the yard time to check the escape route.
Soon, the time reached seven in the evening, and the unlock progress reached 34%.
Just as Kevin was planning to escape when the time reached eleven or twelve o’clock, something unexpected happened.
He heard a familiar sound of footsteps in the corridor; it was that White man!
Why is this person here?
Looking at Jill, who was preparing to open the cell door, Kevin frowned.
“Come out, come with me to the laboratory.” Jill’s eyes were filled with malice, yet they also held a hint of pity, as if he were looking at some pitiable person.
Kevin’s heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition.
This familiar process—there was no doubt about it—they were definitely preparing to take his life!
Taking a deep breath, Kevin suppressed the urge to erupt.
No, I can’t act now…
Soon, he had a countermeasure.
It just so happened that the laboratory was closer to the main exit, and he could conveniently finish off those guys who were preparing to experiment on him, and by the way, seize some keycards!
During his observations during the day, he had noticed that several doors required a card to open.
Although he now had the Space Transfer Ability, he needed to save as much internal energy as possible, as he didn’t know what he would encounter later.
After thinking this through, he pretended to be obedient and stood up to walk out of the cell, then consciously walked towards the laboratory.
Looking at his demeanor, Jill sneered, looking down on the freak in front of him even more.
As expected, Mutants are just trash!
Before long, after passing through several doors, they arrived at the experimental area.
