"What do you mean by ageing? What kind of power is that?" Bai Zhan turned and asked Bai Meiyue. Though the sight of the old rat in front of him gave him an idea, he couldn’t help but shudder as he thought about how dangerous this power could be.
Bai Meiyue shrugged helplessly. She said to her elder brother, "What else? Bai Qian Han can make someone age with just a touch. The longer he holds them, the quicker they will age—if he hadn’t pulled away just now, then I am afraid that he would have killed the rat because it had already gotten so old."
She turned to look at her eldest nephew and said to him, "Qian Han, go on and put the gloves back on your hands. I am afraid that unless you can learn to control that power of yours, you can never take the gloves off. You saw what happens if you touch someone without your gloves on, right?"
These gloves were special gloves that she had exchanged in the barter system; thus, they were quite useful in blocking the powers of her two nephews. Having seen how good they were at their job, Bai Meiyue trusted these gloves and their material.
She then turned to look at Bai Jiuque, the youngest son of her elder brother. She said to him, "Go and touch the other rat, Jiuque."
Bai Jiuque was emboldened by the success of his elder brother and thus nodded without saying anything. He took one brave step and then another before coming to a stop in front of the mutated rat. Just like his brother, he reached out and touched the mutated rat, but unlike Bai Qian Han’s rat, this one didn’t die silently.
Instead, it started to writhe and turned agitated. His eyes flickered with grave horrors as he turned and twisted to one side and then another.
Seeing this, Bai Meiyue immediately pulled Bai Jiuque back and stared at the rat that was close to dying and turned to look at her second nephew.
"Aunt... what did I do?" Bai Jiuque looked up and stared at his aunt with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Nothing, just continue wearing the gloves for the time being. Your powers are rather powerful, and we can only understand them once we are facing zombies," said Bai Meiyue with a hint of a wince in her voice. She never thought that Bai Jiuque would actually awaken the power of Mist of Gloom.
It was a really painful and powerful ability.
The user could use his powers to create a really powerful veil of mist that first confused his or her prey and then sucked all happiness and hope from their bodies, leaving only horror and terror behind. The depression was so strong that the prey would either turn crazy or kill themselves, for it was that painful to stay alive.
