Bab 65: A week later

Eight days had passed since Erik unlocked the Lomalin's power. During this period, he also fully accessed Conal's power, enabling him to absorb new DNA and shapeshift.

Aside from these developments, the days were uneventful. Yet, with a new neural link development technique in progress, Erik felt a growing sense of anticipation for what was to come.

Meanwhile, the local police were deep into the investigation of Logan's, Conal's, and Orson's mysterious disappearances. All leads pointed towards a tragic end at the hands of a criminal gang - a scenario not uncommon in their area. The possibility that the young men had resisted a robbery, leading to their deaths, was a theory under consideration among the many.

Strangely, their bodies remained undiscovered, deviating from the usual patterns of such crimes. This lack of evidence left the police baffled, with no substantial clues to guide their investigation.
