Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 572 Rescue
"Is that what they call the invisible werewolf? It's really interesting."

On the way back to his hotel, Zheng Shu was thinking excitedly.

Although the fight didn't last long, Zheng Shu was able to determine the identity of the figure based on his familiarity with the original work and the unusually unique abilities displayed by the other party.

The "invisible" werewolf.

Of course, because he couldn't see it clearly, Zheng Shu was not sure who the werewolf was, but at least he was sure that he was from the Werewolf Bureau.

There is currently no scientific name for the werewolf species in the world, because most scholars have never encountered it, or would not be able to detect it even if they did.

Due to the nature of their abilities, these werewolves are everywhere, yet nowhere.

Although they are called "invisible", their invisibility is not limited to the field of optical imaging. It also includes appearance, weight, body temperature, body odor, touch, and even sense of existence and causality...

Werewolves can "dilute" the "concentration" of everything related to themselves to the limit, and the direct manifestation is that these werewolves will disappear from the world.

Whether it is the biological vision or infrared alarm, pressure-sensitive floor, temperature sensor, image sensor, dynamic perception system...all the observation equipment that humans can imagine are useless in front of these werewolves.

Based on Zheng Shu's feeling after the brief fight with the werewolf in front of him, the essence of the opponent's ability is most likely to rewrite the world in a very small range.

In short, it is some kind of ultimate castrated monkey version of the special power held by the higher beings.

But no matter how castrated it is, the essence of this ability is still quite advanced, even to the point that even Zheng Shu is amazed.

And from what Zheng Shu perceived, the energy consumption when the other party used this ability was pitifully low.

Apart from the need for greater concentration, for a werewolf, the difficulty of activating this ability is not much different from that of an ordinary person using his or her hands and feet.

It doesn't even require consuming any special energy, just consuming the biological energy in the body.

However, it seems that because the innate ability is too strong, the werewolf may encounter a certain degree of obstacles when practicing other abilities.

Because from the feeling of the previous fight, the werewolf's strength was not that strong, and his physical ability was even the same as that of an ordinary person, and there was no special energy in his body.

If the innate special ability of "invisibility" is removed, then the werewolf would be just an ordinary person.

"It's really exaggerated... This level of power actually appeared casually in a creature that has no special abilities at all."

Of course, for most creatures, once they have mastered this ability, they basically do not need to practice other powers.

Even if your physical fitness is the same as that of an ordinary person, you only need to "dilute" your body mass to achieve unimaginable movement speeds with the strength of an ordinary person.

And no matter what type of attack it is, as long as her own "dilution" reaches a certain level, she can completely ignore it, just like she can pass through the wall without any hindrance.

In fact, during the previous brief fight, when the werewolf was undergoing the second round of dilution, Zheng Shu was no longer sure that he could "capture" it.

After all, the premise of "killing" or "capturing" is to be able to "observe" and "contact" the target. If even these two most basic prerequisites cannot be achieved, it is naturally impossible to succeed.

"But judging from the original story, the number of werewolves is extremely rare, and using this ability is not without risk."

There is nothing flawed about the werewolf's abilities; it is the werewolf itself that has flaws.

Diluting one's own existence is not something that normal people can understand. It is like standing on tiptoe on the dividing line between "destruction" and "existence".

Of course, there are differences in talent between individuals, but no matter what, the higher the stage of "dilution", the more attention is required.

Since the physical fitness of the werewolf is just that of an ordinary person, theoretically it is not completely unsolvable for the werewolf to possess this ability.

Even though they had only just met for a short time, Zheng Shu had thought of many feasible ways to deal with werewolves.

One is to distract their attention or shake their mind. The act of "diluting" their own existence is a very delicate activity. Once they lose their concentration, their body will return to its physical form.

When facing an ordinary person, Zheng Shu will have plenty of ways to deal with him.

The other method is sneak attack, which is to kill the opponent before he can use his ability. With Zheng Shu's speed, this is completely possible.

However, judging from the original work, the werewolves in the Werewolf Bureau have all undergone rigorous training, their will is not easily shaken, and their attention is very focused, so at this time the third method must be used: do the opposite.

In fact, it is similar to what Zheng Shu did just now - using a strong sense of crisis or oppression to force the other party to continuously dilute itself until the other party breaks through the invisible dividing line.

At that time, even if no one cares, the werewolf will naturally disappear from the world and become a state of "never existed".

That would be a true and complete disappearance. No one would remember her, and even the traces of the werewolf's existence would be erased.

"Wait a minute... that's not right! Then what I did just now is equivalent to killing that werewolf, right?!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu finally reacted belatedly.

But it seems that there is no point in regretting now, because the opponent has been diluted to a level that even I cannot reach.

"Wait, calm down. If I remember correctly, the werewolves in the Werewolf Bureau all have 'talismans' kept at the headquarters, which can ensure that the other party can return to the world in the event of excessive dilution."

Realizing that he seemed to have done something wrong unintentionally, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly and scratched his hair hard:
"No matter what, I'd better preserve the memory of this werewolf in my mind and keep her last 'existence' as much as possible... I hope it will be useful."

He cast a mysterious counter-magic array on his brain to ensure that he would not be affected by the opponent's ability and cause the related memories to disappear due to the disappearance of "existence".

Apart from this method, Zheng Shu couldn't think of a better way in the short term. Anyway, this was also his own mistake. If the rescue talisman from the Werewolf Bureau failed, at least this memory could allow Zheng Shu to preserve the werewolf's final "existence".

"I hope everything goes well... It seems that I have been playing a little too excitedly recently."

……

……

The Werewolf Bureau, whose full name is “The Werewolf Bureau’s Special Intelligence Department”.

Due to the small number of werewolves, there are only five real werewolves within the Werewolf Bureau. The rest are auxiliary personnel and the director and deputy director of the Werewolf Bureau.

The director, Lawrence Ashio, is a little old man who looks a little bald. Due to his old age and lack of energy, he usually only controls the overall situation, while specific matters are decided by Deputy Minister Delimed.

Delimed was a tall man with a stern face and a hairstyle like a neatly combed green hedgehog. After discovering something was wrong, he immediately called Klaus.

"……Disappeared?!"

"Yes, just now, the auxiliary system triggered the emergency assistance clause of Ghost Elf No. 4 (Jane Huang)."

Klaus on the other end of the phone was stunned: "Did she encounter any danger?"

"I don't know either, but the most important task now is to execute the talisman and bring her back. We must hurry up. The traces of her existence in this world are disappearing at an increasingly faster rate... Is Stephen with you?" Delimed said.

Although he didn't quite understand why Drimid suddenly turned the topic to Stephen, Klaus quickly replied, "Yes!"

"Then please bring him here immediately!"

"Understood! I'll be there soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Klaus immediately turned to look at the old butler next to him who seemed to have been prepared:
"Gilbert, prepare the car and go to the Werewolf Bureau immediately."

"Understood. All preparations are complete, Master."

Not long after, a cool-looking silver-white car roared out of the building and quickly ran towards the Werewolf Bureau.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the silver sports car was the old butler Gilbert, who looked quite old. Klaus and Stephen, two young and strong men, were sitting in the back seat of the car.

With Gilbert's superb driving skills, the car quickly weaved through the traffic on the road. Taking advantage of this time, Klaus explained to Stephen what had just happened on the phone.

"...So in order to rescue Jane, the Werewolf Bureau will use the 'Talisman'. The reason why Delimed mentioned your name on the phone is probably because Jane's Talisman is related to you." Klaus said with a heavy face.

Stephen frowned: "Talisman?"

"Yes, I actually don't know what this thing is, but I just know that this is the only way to save Jane."

During the conversation, the car had already arrived at the Werewolf Bureau, and Deputy Minister Delimed and the Director were already waiting outside.

Without much time to explain, the two of them squeezed into the car.

The older director sat in the passenger seat, while the remaining three tall and strong men squeezed together in the back seat.

Especially Klaus, who was the largest in size, had to hunch his shoulders and sit motionless in the back seat which had obviously become more crowded with the addition of one more person, with his face pressed against the window next to him.

As soon as Delimed squeezed into the car, he handed Stephen a board the size of a mobile phone.

Stephen took a quick look and found that this was a board made of two pieces of high-strength glass sealed together. He could feel a strong force from the two pieces of glass, which must have been caused by a large amount of magic.

However, whether it is the technique or the tempered glass, it is essentially just to protect the piece of paper embedded in the center of the glass plate.

There was nothing special about the note, it even looked too plain, except that there were some handwritten words on it, and judging from the handwriting, it should have been written by Jane herself.

"Is this the talisman?" Stephen looked at Delimed with a puzzled look, "What does it mean? I don't understand it at all!"

Drimmed irritably explained their next destination to Gilbert and glanced at him:
"Stop talking nonsense and remember to do it quickly! This is the reason why Huang can return to this world... or she must return to this world! This is the opportunity for her to stay in this world!"

"No... Even if you say so, I still don't understand!"

Stephen looked at the note on the talisman with a look of despair, trying to figure out the hidden meaning from the sentence above:
“Why does it say ‘Stephen made a surprise visit to my house’ on this?!”

He had checked the contents of this thing many times, but he really couldn't find the so-called hidden content.

Apart from this necessary words, the rest was just Jane's address and a greeting when she entered the door.

"So...why are we going to this place?"

Stephen asked again, but this time his tone was obviously different.

Delimed and the Director of the Werewolf Bureau noticed this keenly and their expressions became more serious.

"My memory has actually begun to fade?! How is this possible? How can it be so fast? To what extent has that person diluted himself this time?!"

After saying this, Delimed also realized his own problem: "Damn it! Name... even my memory has begun to fade? Chief, what about you?!"

As the deputy director of the Werewolf Bureau, Delimed himself is a layer of defense after the werewolves are overly diluted.

He had undergone special memory enhancement training and had a large number of spells engraved in his brain for protection.

But even so, Delimed was now beginning to have trouble remembering the name of the werewolf who needed their rescue.

Such a horrific rate of memory fading meant that the werewolf had been "diluted" to a greater degree than initially thought.

"I can still hold on..." The Werewolf Bureau Chief had cold sweat on his bald forehead, and he looked like he was trying hard to resist something.

At this point, the only ones who had the calmest reaction in the entire car were the master and servant Gilbert and Klaus.

Although Gilbert didn't know what was going on, he knew he just had to follow orders and drive the car to the destination.

As for Klaus... Although he is tall and strong and looks fierce, he is actually a hidden idiot.

Klaus had forgotten the details of the operation, but still remembered that they came out this time to save someone.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, he was willing to trust the two allies of the Werewolf Bureau, so he still huddled safely in the back seat of the car, waiting quietly.

With Gilbert's superb driving skills, the car soon arrived at the designated location.

"Mr. Drimmead, we're here," said Gilbert.

"Excuse me."

While Delimed opened the car door, he pulled Stephen down with his other hand: "Go, it's the door closest to the stairs."

“Am I the only one going?” Stephen pointed at himself in confusion.

"What else? Are our names written on it?! Stop talking nonsense and go!" Delimed pushed Stephen into the building in annoyance.

Except for Gilbert who stayed in the car on standby, everyone else got out and followed Stephen quietly.

Subconsciously, Stephen came to the door according to the information written on the note. He still looked confused, but after taking a look at the people who were hiding in the stairwell behind him and sticking their heads out, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the door in front of him.

"Hey! Um... excuse me, I'm here to play!"

Stephen subconsciously looked around the apartment. It was a small private apartment. The room was dimly lit and filled with garbage bags, leftover lunch boxes, empty wine cans and women's underwear.

A haggard figure was standing in the middle of the room, trying to gather all the garbage together.

After seeing this face, Stephen was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "Jane? Why are you..."

"what!!!"

Bang!
With a scream, a huge garbage bag was thrown out, knocking Stephen, who was unprepared at the door, flying out and falling heavily on the railing of the corridor at the back.

"Why did you hit me..." Stephen lay on the ground and sighed.

Behind him, the Director of the Werewolf Bureau and Deputy Director Dremead clapped happily to each other.

The moment Jane reappeared, Klaus recalled everything about her and understood what thrilling thing had just happened.

So this conscientious boss who was considerate of his employees gave Stephen a thumbs up without hesitation to express his gratitude to Stephen.

……

……

On the other side of the city, Zheng Shu, who was strolling, was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and removed the mysterious counter-spell cast on his brain.

"Well done."
