120: A storm is brewing

Because of the information obtained from the raven, Locke became even more convinced that his initial decision was the right one.

It was fortunate that he had made it swear by the Goddess of the Night; otherwise, Locke truly could not imagine what his fate might be after completing the cooperation.

"Indeed, caution is the way to survive in this world; I must be even more careful in the future."

Locke put away his scattered thoughts and then glanced lightly at the raven in front of him, which seemed a bit full of itself.

"What are you acting so proud about? No matter how powerful Old Man Time is, doesn't he still have to cooperate with me?"

"Caw..."

After Locke finished speaking, the expression on the raven's face stiffened instantly, as if it had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Its wings, which were held behind its back, slowly retracted, and it no longer dared to put on airs.

"Speak up. What did Time send you to find me for?"

After extracting quite a bit of information from the raven, Locke had no interest in dawdling with it any longer and immediately got straight to the point.

Anyway, he had vented his anger and gotten the information; it was Time to finish the serious business and then shoo it away.

The raven straightened its posture and looked at Locke, saying, "My master asks when you will go to fulfill your agreement with him?"

"Just because of this, he made you come find me in the middle of the night?"

"This is very important to my master, and he has already given you most of the payment in advance, so you cannot go back on your word."

"Within these next two days. Go back and tell him that I will set out tomorrow or the day after."

Locke stood up and walked towards the window, saying, "Also tell him that I am not the type of person who easily breaks his word. Now that you have delivered the message, hurry up and leave."

The raven knew that Locke was kicking it out. It pursed its beak and continued, "Caw... wait a second. If it weren't for the fact that my master also instructed me to give you some things, do you think I would want to stay here?"

"Things? That old guy had you bring me things? What are they? Take them out and let me see."

Locke looked the raven up and down but couldn't find any place on its body where it could hide anything.

"Caw... I don't know why my master is so good to you."

Seeing that Locke didn't care about Old Man Time in the slightest, the raven complained with some dissatisfaction, then opened its beak and spat out a black robe, placing it on the coffee table.

The robe was embroidered with gold thread in the pattern of the Secret Cult, looking high-end while also full of a mysterious aura.

The entire robe piled together was almost larger than the raven's body.

In addition to this, a mask covered the robe; the mask was covered with a vortex interwoven with black, white, and red colors, which also looked mysterious.

Locke was not too surprised that it could spit out so many things from its stomach.

Because he guessed that perhaps this was another Extraordinary Ability of the raven, similar to the Personal Space provided by his own panel.

It was just that his Personal Space was obviously more high-end; he only needed a thought to take things out easily, unlike the raven, which had a regurgitation action.

"Is this the exclusive attire of the Secret Cult?"

Locke then paced back to the sofa and picked up the clothes to examine them carefully.

The raven nodded, "This is what Old Man Time asked me to bring you. At the same Time, he reminds you that when you go to attend the Secret Cult gathering, you must wear the attire and put on this mask that can conceal your identity and aura."

"Alright, understood."

Locke took a casual look, waved his hand over the coffee table, and put the robe and mask into his Personal Space.

Seeing him reveal this magical storage function again, the raven's eyes flickered, and it became a bit more curious about him.

"What kind of ability is this? Why can you make things disappear so silently?"

Locke just squinted at it and then raised his hand, "Please return."

Seeing him act like this, the raven felt a bit angry, "Tch, what are you acting cool for? Isn't it just a spatial Extraordinary Ability? What's so great about that?"

"Hmm? You don't want to leave?" Locke gave a soft 'hmm' and stared at the raven.

"Caw..."

The raven's eyes rolled around, locking onto the exquisite teapot on the table that was still filled with quite a few gemstones. As it flapped its wings to take off suddenly, its claws hooked the teapot on the table, and it flew towards the outside of the window. While flying, it turned its head back to mock him:

"Hmph, Locke having spatial ability is nothing great. My master said that after I level up, I will possess the most powerful spatial ability in the world. Just you wait."

"Caw..."

Locke walked to the window and watched it coldly, then took out the winchester and immediately took aim.

"Caw caw!"

Seeing him like this, the raven looked flustered and didn't dare to say anything else. It flapped its wings even faster and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Truly worthy of being a corvid; the mouth is indeed foul."

Locke watched its retreating figure, put the winchester away again, and returned to the bed to embrace Serena.

"Locke, was that cute little raven just now also an Extraordinary Creature?" Serena turned around, hugged his waist, and asked while staring into his eyes.

"Is it cute?"

"It is. It's just like a mischievous little girl, isn't it?"

"Huh?"

"I saw that you were having quite a fun Time playing with it just now, weren't you? The interaction was very good."

Locke shook his head quickly, "This guy has a terrible personality and isn't cute at all. But if you like it, I'll have Time give this guy to me later."

"This... is it really okay?" Serena's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Locke's words.

Because if she could have an Extraordinary Creature as a pet, that would be simply too cool.

Especially since this Extraordinary Creature could also speak like a little girl, that would be even cooler.

Locke buried his head into Serena's vast ocean, beginning to tease her.

"I think Old Man Time shouldn't refuse. A Sequence 9 creature shouldn't be anything valuable to him; he shouldn't be unwilling to give it to me."

Serena, with a motherly expression on her face, stretched out her hands, and while puffing out her chest, hugged his head tightly.

"Mmhmm, Lord Locke, you are... really... so good to me."

"How can I repay you?"

Locke knew that Serena was teasing him on purpose, so he gently bit down on a raisin and teased back, "You just need to feed me until I'm full."

"But I've discovered that I can't feed you at all; you're just like a bottomless pit."

Thinking of Locke's vigorous state over the past few days, Serena's face couldn't help but flush.

"That won't do!" Locke had enough, so he reached out and suddenly lifted Serena up, placing her on top of him.

...

Meanwhile, over on Marcus's side, he had already found Alexander's location based on relevant information and was preparing to seize the other half of the map.

In the Crystal Lake on the other side, Jason, having sensed his most beloved mask again, woke up from his slumber at the bottom of the lake in a great rage and began to head towards Locke's location along the water flow.

His speed was very fast, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he arrived in New York, where Locke was.

And the aura on Jason's body shocked the other Sequence 9 Extraordinary Creatures inhabiting the waters along the way, causing them to retreat far away.
