The right hand of the black haired young man was still in front of Lin Fan's face, but that wasn't what was strange.
Well, it was related to the hand of the black haired young man, but it also wasn't.
For starters, as the right hand of the black haired young man was held in front of Lin Fan, there was something that came out of his forehead. It was a golden glow that came out of the golden diamond from Lin Fan's forehead, the mysterious energy that had allowed Lin Fan to defeat the ghosts.
But right now, instead of defeating the ghost that was in front of him, that golden energy was making direct contact with the black haired young man's hand and it didn't do a single thing to him. It touched the hand, but it didn't turn it to ashes like all the other ghosts.
Lin Fan looked at this in shock as he couldn't understand what had happened.
This golden energy was what he had been relying on to make it through these trials and he had considered it his final weapon. In fact, he had been relying on this golden energy to make it through this one as well since he thought that he would be able to defeat the five elderly ghosts with them since after all, they were ghosts as well.
But there was the black haired young man who was a ghost that was holding it in his hand like it was nothing…
Lin Fan was at a complete loss as to what to do now.
But in his shock, he also realized something that was even more shocking.
It wasn't the fact that this black haired young man who was a ghost was able to touch this golden energy, rather it was the fact that he was able to control it that had shocked him.
The little girl with the whale had said that this energy was the energy of the gods, so for this black haired youth to control it, did that mean that he was a god?
The energy of the gods was the only clue that Lin Fan had as to the origins of his system, so did that mean that this black haired young man was related to the creation of his system?
Lin Fan didn't try to resist at all as he looked at the black haired young man and asked, "Who are you?"
But the black haired young man didn't reply, instead his eyes were focused on the golden energy that was in his hands.
He carefully looked over the golden energy as if he was looking for something and after a while, he suddenly revealed a look of understanding as he said, "I see, so it's like that…"
But even after that, he didn't say anything to Lin Fan as he turned back to the other four that were standing behind them. Based on the looks on their faces, it was clear that they were talking to each other in their minds.
They didn't continue talking for long before the black haired young man turned back to look at Lin Fan. This time he didn't look at the golden energy that he had pulled from Lin Fan's forehead, rather he looked right at Lin Fan's face. After looking for a bit, he revealed a look that showed that he didn't recognize it.
The black haired young man carefully looked at Lin Fan for a bit before asking, "Are you not from our Atlantis Village?"
Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this and it wasn't for the reason that normal people would have thought it was for. After all, Atlantis was quite famous on earth where he came from and for this to be called Atlantis, it really was quite the coincidence…
After all, both the city of Atlantis and this Atlantis Village were both lost to the outside world.
But after getting over his surprise, Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I've never even heard of your Atlantis Village before."
The black haired young man looked at Lin Fan for a bit. Based on his expression just now, he could tell that he wasn't lying, so what could this mean then?
After thinking about it, all five of the ghosts suddenly looked like they had realized something. The black haired young man turned to look at the other four and seeing that they all gave nods, he turned back to Lin Fan. After looking at Lin Fan for a bit, he couldn't help giving a sigh.
Then after a long pause, he said, "The fact that you've shown up here isn't a good sign. This isn't just bad for you, but also bad for us…"
Then his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Lin Fan and muttered, "Perhaps it's better if we take care of you right now…"
Lin Fan immediately fully went on guard and prepared himself for a fight as the bone white sword once again appeared in his hand.
Seeing him act this way, the black haired young man didn't mind it and just muttered to himself for a bit longer before saying, "No, it's not worth it killing you now. Plus, there will be that beast that will interfere if I go too far…"
Then with a wave of his hand, the golden energy returned back into the golden diamond on Lin Fan's forehead, while also a bit of black energy came out of his hand to hit the vines that trapped Lin Fan's feet, freeing him.
Lin Fan was confused as he watched the black haired young man take a few steps back, but then the black haired young man stopped and asked, "Well, is there anything you have to ask?"
Lin Fan was stunned when he heard this. There had been just too many changes in the last few minutes that he couldn't keep up with any of this. One second they wanted to talk, the next they wanted to kill him, and then they changed back to wanting to talk.
Could they just make up their mind already?
Still, Lin Fan didn't stay in his daze for long as he looked at the black haired young man and asked again, "Who are you?"
The black haired young man revealed a faint smile and said, "Are you sure that's what you want to ask first?"
But seeing that Lin Fan's expression didn't change at all, the black haired young man's smile disappeared as he said with a serious look, "We're the elders of this Atlantis Village."
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he wasn't too surprised since he had already made his own guesses.
These people were far stronger than any of the other ghosts that he had encountered, so unless they had some special identity, it wouldn't make sense for them to be here. If they were the elders of this village, it would all make sense.
After all, Lin Fan had already guessed that these ghosts that wandered around should be the people that had once lived in this village in the past. But he still wasn't sure why they had turned into these ghosts.
He was also curious why these elders would be kept in coffins in this crypt, but that was a question for another time since he had something else he wanted to ask first.
Lin Fan looked right into the black haired young man's eyes and asked, "What is this golden energy and how can you control it?"
When these words were said, there was a silence that filled this hall. All of the elders had surprised looks on their faces since it was clear that not a single one of them had expected Lin Fan to ask about this.
After all, there were many other things that he could have asked about and many of them seemed much more important to them compared to this.
But since Lin Fan had already asked about this, they had no choice but to answer since they wanted to build a relationship with Lin Fan.
After a pause, the black haired young man said, "It's the energy of the gods, but I think that you should already know that since you're asking about this. As for what it specifically is, that isn't something I can tell you. Then as for how we can control it, that's because of the special teachings that we received which allows us to control it."
Lin Fan fell into deep thought for a bit before asking, "Who did you learn this from?"
The black haired young man revealed a bitter smile and asked, "Who else do you think it's from?"
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this. The more that he heard, the more it seemed likely that the worst case scenario that he thought was the truth seemed more likely. But if that was the case, he would definitely be the one that was in the most danger right now.
Lin Fan then asked, "Is he still alive right now?"
The black haired young man was about to say something, but then there was a pressure that fell down from above, pushing him right into the ground.
The same pressure fell onto the four other elders who had been standing beside him, but it came a bit later than when it fell down on him. The elders had seen this pressure fall and were about to say something before this pressure also fell down on them.
Then in the space around them, there was a voice that said, "That's enough."
