Chapter 640 - Close Shave (1/2)

On the other side of the rift, countless shadows overlapped and appeared to be squeezing outward. They looked to penetrate the barrier and extend over as a large number of glimmers flickered in the rift, 'liberating' the darkness.

Just as Welf's intangible tentacle reached this instance in Shang Jianyao's memories, it froze as if a creature had encountered its nemesis, like a human having a gun pressed at their temple.

The intangible tentacle began to tremble. In the small truck dozens of meters away, Welf's face instantly turned pale, and his mouth produced a stutter.

A brief moment later, it crescented into an involuntary scream. ”No! Spare me!”

He suddenly retracted the four 'tentacles' that extended out, wanting to escape the abnormally terrifying rift.

This reaction was so loud and intense that Welf couldn't conceal his actions of flipping through Shang Jianyao's memories.

In the True Self Church's stronghold, Shang Jianyao—who was eating oatmeal bread—stopped. He found his mind in a mess as if someone was screaming.

Once Awakened had such a substantial interaction with each other, their existence was no longer a secret mutually.

In the blink of an eye, Shang Jianyao captured the source of the anomaly—it was a human consciousness dozens of meters away!

As Shang Jianyao threw the oatmeal bread back on the table, he turned his head and shouted at Bai Chen, ”Give me the Six Senses Beads!”

At the same time, he locked onto the human consciousness and used Literary Hipster on him. He preliminarily determined that this was the weak and timid Mind Corridor-level Awakened in the Last Man domain.

In the small truck, Welf—who had just calmed down and planned on starting the car to leave the block—suddenly became depressed. He felt very defeated and couldn't help but mutter to himself, ”I am so sorry to be born…”

As Welf wallowed in self-misery, Bai Chen heard Shang Jianyao's shout.

She didn't hesitate and threw the Six Senses Beads out. After doing this, she heaved a long sigh of relief as if she had finally escaped some unpleasant experience.

The reason Shang Jianyao wanted the Six Senses Beads and not the Life Angel necklace was due to distance.

The Life Angel necklace could directly cause the target's heart to stop and strip them of their life, but it only had a range of 40 meters. The Six Senses Beads had a range of 120 meters.

The target Shang Jianyao had locked onto was between 60 to 80 meters away!

In other words, the Six Senses Beads' direct Consciousness Deprivation wasn't much worse than Cardiac Arrest. It could also break down an enemy's combat abilities in one blow. The only problem was that it could only be used thrice, but Shang Jianyao didn't care.

After catching the Six Senses Beads with his left hand, Shang Jianyao spun the string of prayer beads without hesitation.

Unlike in the past—where the user was required to say the corresponding ability's name for it to be effective—the current Six Senses Beads had fused with the abnormal aura of Iron Mountain City's Second Food Company, a Buddhist Holy Land. It could be used just by thinking and feeling it, making it much simpler.

At the critical moment, an unknown Shang Jianyao thought of a question. If we separately think of Visual Deprivation, Auditory Deprivation, Olfactory Deprivation, Touch Deprivation, Taste Deprivation, and Consciousness Deprivation in our minds and quickly feel the prayer beads, which ability will be activated in the end?

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao quickly suppressed the twitchy thought and prepared to voice Consciousness Deprivation from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly felt the Six Senses Beads in his hand turn cold.

It no longer looked like a string of prayer beads made of wood. It looked more like a glazed glass bead forged in a crucible.

A green light surfaced in front of Shang Jianyao's eyes, and scenes appeared in the light.

In those scenes, Shang Jianyao successfully used the Six Senses Beads and deprived the target of his consciousness. He then took the Life Angel necklace from Jiang Baimian, flipped out the window, and headed straight for the enemy.

As the Awakened in the Last Man domain had been struck unconscious, there was a certain level of chaos. The Golden Scale Awakened—who was good at hiding—revealed herself.

Shang Jianyao—who had entered a 40-meter range—locked onto the woman and directly activated the Life Angel necklace's ability.

As expected, the target suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed.

Shang Jianyao smiled, drew his pistol, and pulled the trigger at the two Awakened's goons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The enemies lost their lives one after another.

These scenes shattered in the blink of an eye, condensing into a new scene.

In the scene, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes.
