1404 In Modern Day 2 (1/2)
Nice!
I can't help but snap my fingers with my free hand.
As someone who has never even won a consolation prize, to be able to get a beverage I wanted is simply exciting.
Furthermore, the most important thing is that I only spent five yuan. Otherwise, I'll definitely hit it trying it ten times in a row.
I need to keep this bottle well! I put away my phone, open the can, and take a mouthful of the beverage.
In the next second, my head suddenly turns a little numb. I feel like everything around me has become abnormally blurry, and my entire body becomes light as though I'm about to turn into a feather.
In this strange feeling, I vaguely hear muffled ravings that sound like fingernails scratching a blackboard:
”The taste of a Demoness ain't bad…”
”The taste of a Demoness ain't bad…”
”The taste of a Demoness ain't bad…”
This brings an indescribable pain, and I lose all my ability to think.
By the time the torture ends, I can't remember what happened towards the end, but I know that my face must have been very twisted and hideous.
F*ck. What the hell is this beverage? I turn angrily to look at the vending machine.
At that moment, my head is spinning, and my eyes swell. I have the feeling that I'll collapse at any moment.
However, this doesn't stop me from discovering a fact:
The vending machine that still existed moments ago has disappeared!
… Holy sh*t… I can't take my spinning head and the soreness in my eyes. I quickly remove my glasses and prepare to squeeze my nose bridge.
However, just as I take off my glasses, everything returns to normal. My head doesn't spin and my eyes no longer ache.
My vision remains clear, clearer than even before my myopia.
…I scan my surroundings, and every detail is reflected in my eyes. Even a dozen meters away, a mosquito silently suspended on a black stone is vividly clear.
I've recovered from my short-sightedness? That bout of fainting was because of the glasses? I glance around once more, and for some reason, I feel that my vision has exceeded that of a normal person's.
As I try hard to recall, I gradually come to a realization:
I can change part of my body's structure for a short amount of time. I can obtain feather-like lightness. Even if I jump from high above, I won't be hurt…
A hawk-like vision that allows me to see through the darkness…
I'm good at hiding in the shadows…
My steps are nimble and my body is agile. The instantaneous strength I can release is tremendous…
I can concentrate all my strength into a single strike…
This… As I suspect that the Assassin beverage that I had just taken was actually some mental drug that gives me hallucinations, I also feel that something might have really happened due to my recovery from short-sightedness.
No way this is real… The vending machine is gone… It was still there a moment ago… Did I have a fortuitous encounter? I cast my gaze out of the lobby and see people carrying umbrellas or have their backpacks raised in the heavy rain, running about in a hurry.
Before this, I could only barely see silhouettes in this scene, but now, I can confirm the features of every pedestrian.
