“Why haven’t we exited the tunnel yet? It’s been ages!”
The young man sitting by the door complained idly, his eyes never leaving his phone screen.
Chen Bugu re-examined the entire carriage; including the driver, there were 7 people in total.
The young man complaining by the door, the Driver Lao Liu wearing black sunglasses, the Aunt who had just spoken up to ask the driver for help, and a couple in front of him.
These five people, plus him and Lin Ye, were all the occupants of this 64 road bus.
Aside from Lin Ye, Chen Bugu really had no impression of the others. After all, in his previous life, after the Great Disaster occurred, everyone was only concerned with saving themselves.
Besides Lin Ye, Chen Bugu didn't remember any of the other five people on this 64 road bus making it out of this tunnel alive.
Of course, at this moment, Chen Bugu also didn't have time to worry about others. His main purpose in observing the carriage was to find a weapon.
Unfortunately, on the entire 64 road bus, the only thing that could barely be called a weapon was the safety hammer on the window.
Alas, the safety hammer's attack range is too short; it probably won't be of much help in the upcoming battle.
Just as Chen Bugu was still considering how to make use of the safety hammer, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
The entire carriage began to shake violently.
Or rather, the entire tunnel began to shake violently.
“What’s going on! What’s going on!”
“Earthquake! Earthquake!”
The tunnel shook violently, and several cars successively lost control, resulting in a multi-car pileup.
Driver Lao Liu, the bus driver wearing sunglasses, quickly slammed on the brakes.
The entire carriage immediately fell into chaos; everyone was in a panic, but Chen Bugu remained expressionless.
This was not an earthquake at all.
It’s about to begin.
Chen Bugu clenched his fists.
Even though it wasn't the first time, the helplessness and fear in his heart at this moment could not be completely dispelled.
“Awakening initiated!”
Chen Bugu sat in his original seat, when suddenly a mechanical female voice appeared in his mind.
It’s here!
Chen Bugu’s eyes suddenly lost their vision.
Everything within his sight was pitch black and silent.
Chen Bugu did not panic; he knew this was his consciousness world.
Immediately after, a golden light lit up in the distance.
This is the normal process of Awakening. The light that appears in the consciousness world during Awakening was called the Light of Awakening by people in his previous life.
The golden Light of Awakening represents Mythological Ability; he had experience with this.
The golden light streaked across the sky of Chen Bugu’s consciousness world like a meteor.
Immediately after, a golden symbol appeared before Chen Bugu’s eyes—it was a sacred cross.
Chen Bugu was startled, and a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Is it still like this after all?
Chen Bugu was far too familiar with the ability represented by this cross.
“Congratulations on Awakening a Mythological Ability: Revival.”
Isn’t this just nesting dolls?
The most crucial thing is that this ability really has no combat power!
Although Chen Bugu had considered this step since accepting the fact of his rebirth, he had also fantasized that everything might be different after his rebirth.
Even if it wasn't a Mythological Ability, it would be fine; even if it was just the most common enhancement type, given his status as a reborn person, that would still be a huge advantage!
But the fantasy was shattered.
Damn reality, damn Revival skill.
However, a few breaths later, the cross symbol did not imprint itself on his glabella as it had in his previous life.
“Error, error.”
“Judgment: Outsider.”
“Judgment: Outsider.”
“Error, error.”
“Correcting.”
The emotionless mechanical voice repeated in Chen Bugu’s mind again.
This was followed by a sharp pain.
In this dark consciousness world, Chen Bugu knelt on the ground, his mouth open, but he couldn't make a sound.
Intense pain assailed him, like thousands of needles threaded with string repeatedly stitching his brain.
Chen Bugu convulsed all over, lying on the ground hunched like a cooked shrimp.
He didn't know how long passed, but Chen Bugu felt the pain gradually weaken, and he heard the mechanical voice again.
“Correction successful.”
“Awakening initiated!”
Chen Bugu held his head and looked up, but what he saw stunned him.
In the black consciousness world, two dazzling lights rapidly approached from the depths.
Two Lights of Awakening!
Dual abilities!
This was extremely rare even in his previous life!
One of the lights was enchanting and dazzling, appearing deep purple!
However, Chen Bugu had never heard of any type of ability that would be marked by this color upon Awakening.
The color of this light was accompanied by colorful pixel points, looking very cool, but it was extremely unstable, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
At the same time…
Another light followed closely behind, appearing in an ultimate bright silver.
The moment he saw this light, Chen Bugu was ecstatic.
Bright silver! Element Type Ability!
Although Chen Bugu was still lying on the ground, his gaze dared not move away from this light for a single moment.
He tried hard to distinguish, attempting to search for a hint of other colors within this bright silver.
This was very important!
For Awakeneds of Element Type Ability, the bright silver Light of Awakening in the consciousness world would be mixed with a second accompanying color, which represented the awakened elemental attribute.
For example, if the bright silver light was mixed with red, it would be a Fire Element Ability.
Common elemental colors include the cyan Wind Element, blue Water Element, brown Earth Element, and green Wood Element, etc.
Of course, there are also some rare attributes, such as “Poison,” “Ice,” “Steel”…
It’s just that those attributes are too rare, and the colors they represent vary greatly. This kind of information was not something that Chen Bugu from his previous life could access.
However, after watching for a long time, Chen Bugu still didn't find a second color.
The light was pure silver, without impurities.
Before Chen Bugu could think clearly, suddenly, the bright silver Light of Awakening exploded as if it had been sniped, shattering into several fragments.
It was like a missile being precisely intercepted in mid-air by an enemy.
Chen Bugu watched in astonishment as the bright silver Light of Awakening, after shattering, gradually dimmed and disappeared.
If he weren't in his consciousness world and unable to speak, he would have already started cursing.
Thank goodness, the other purple Light of Awakening, though extremely unstable, still successfully streaked across the sky of his consciousness world.
Immediately after, purple light points appeared before Chen Bugu’s eyes, gradually outlining the shape of a pattern.
The moment he saw the pattern completed, Chen Bugu was stunned again.
This time, the pattern was still a cross.
A broken cross covered in cracks.
Aside from the pervasive cracks and the emanating purple light, the shape of this cross was no different from the cross representing “Revival” earlier.
“Awakening Virus Type Ability: Cracking.”
The mechanical female voice appeared in Chen Bugu’s mind again.
This time, the purple broken cross successfully imprinted itself on his glabella, meaning he had truly awakened the ability of Cracking.
“Virus Type Ability: Cracking.”
“A thief stole the authority of a god and quietly forged it into the spark of a virus. Unique ability, cannot be upgraded.”
Information about “Cracking” automatically appeared in Chen Bugu’s mind.
Unique ability…
Cannot be upgraded…
This seemed to be a very special ability.
The black consciousness world began to collapse.
Chen Bugu understood that the Awakening was complete, and he had to leave the consciousness world.
He probably wouldn’t be able to enter the consciousness world again for a short period.
Thinking of this, Chen Bugu suddenly had an idea.
He stared directly at the crumbling consciousness world before him.
A trace of purple light suddenly flashed deep within his pupils…
