Chapter 236 Aren't you curious?
"Sister Yin, how do you feel?" Xia Tang hadn't used such deep mental control on someone in a long time, and she was still a little unsure.
Miao Yin raised her hand and touched her neck: "Unexpectedly true."
At least it reminded her of the dream she had after she died.
"As long as I don't encounter those ability users who can shield their mental power, I suppose no one can rival my malevolent intentions?"
Xia Tang smiled and said, "It's quite difficult to encounter someone with strong willpower. Sister Yin, do you want me to use this on someone?"
Miao Yin tapped the map with her fingertip: "In the center, from this intersection down, the underground city below has been transformed into a laboratory. Let's go take a look here in a couple of days."
Xia Tang's eyelashes trembled: "The laboratory? That's..."
"A place for studying distortions."
"What are we going there for? Besides, this kind of government territory is usually heavily guarded, and it won't be easy to get in." Xia Tang tentatively advised, wondering if the other party was planning to just charge in.
"Go watch the origin of the apocalypse," Miao Yin said calmly, dropping a bombshell.
"?!" Xia Tang's eyes widened, and she sat up straight. "The origin of the apocalypse is here?!"
Have you heard of Zuochuan People's Hospital?
"It seems to be... a hospital in the ancient capital?" Xia Tang frowned slightly. She wasn't from the ancient capital and only knew a little about these things.
"Zuochuan People's Hospital was the first place where the anomalies appeared, after that major car accident," Miao Yin said, folding up the map and tossing it aside.
“Before the Dream City base was fully built, the search for the origin of the apocalypse was the main focus. I knew a long time ago that the base had sent an army to a hospital in the ancient capital to try to find the origin of the apocalypse. I heard that they were captured.”
Her tone was light and flirtatious at the end, even sounding somewhat playful.
She learned about these things when she was investigating Dream City in her previous life, and when she finally learned from You Wenwen that it was Zuochuan People's Hospital, Miao Yin was not surprised.
No wonder that army was almost completely wiped out in the end.
"But...the origin of the apocalypse...now that they've caught it, does that mean the apocalypse might end? As long as they can find the cause of the apocalypse?" Xia Tang said somewhat incoherently.
"It can't be found."
At least in the year she died, they had only developed a new method to suppress mutants.
"But if even the government can't figure out the cause of the apocalypse, then what are we going there for?" Xia Tang asked, confused.
"Aren't you curious?"
Miao Yin's dark pupils gleamed with a bewitching light, and her enigmatic tone was like hell itself, even more alluring than a seductive ability user.
“Xia Tang, they were the first batch of mutated people when the apocalypse came. They were born earlier than all the mutated species, and earlier than us ability users.”
Miao Yin took her hand and squeezed her finger bones.
"Aren't you ever curious about why you didn't become a mutant, why superpowers were bestowed upon you, and what the difference is between you and those monsters? Have you ever thought that maybe that's what we were meant to be? Xia Tang... don't you want to see?"
Holding her cold, slippery hand, like snake scales, Xia Tang swallowed hard, unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
She gave a wry smile: "Who exactly is the psychic-type ability user?"
Miao Yin chuckled lightly: "The laboratory is heavily guarded, not to mention that its upper level is the government center. Xia Tang, I don't like seeing any scenes of heavy weaponry being used for bombing. We should go in quietly, what do you think?"
Xia Tang lowered her eyes and replied, "I need to practice my special ability more recently."
"You can use anyone outside, just avoid Yao Yue's superpower. Her barrier of all things is your natural counter."
“Tu Hao wouldn’t work either, would he? He’s too fierce,” Xia Tang said, blinking.
"Perhaps you should lower your voice a bit," Miao Yin reminded him with a mischievous smile.
Xia Tang: ...Hiss.
At the same moment, under the withered trees, Tu Hao stubbed out his cigarette between his fingers, and in the hazy white smoke, he chuckled.
"It's really kind of you to think of me now."
His gaze drifted to the towering buildings that stretched to the horizon: "The origin of the apocalypse... tsk, that perverted bastard..."
Under the dim moonlight, Tu Hao suddenly remembered the day the end of the world came.
He was hired to smuggle himself into Jingzhou, and for a three million dollar deal, he beheaded his employer's rival.
The employer had a peculiar hobby: he liked to collect the remains of his opponents. So he took a finger back with him as a token of his satisfaction.
The employer held the finger in his hand for a long time, admiring it. He sat on the sofa and impatiently urged the order to be placed. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the employer suddenly swallowed the finger.
He thought he was witnessing another employer going mad and was about to make a sarcastic remark when, unexpectedly, the monster appeared after he swallowed the finger.
He saw his employer's body split open, and countless fingers grew out of his chest cavity, just like the fingers he had swallowed had dug open his stomach and were growing outwards to take his life.
then……
The knife was bitten off, and the bullet passing through the body could not stop it in the slightest.
The basement he specifically chose for the delivery turned into a death knell. He locked it with an electronic lock and was forced to face this guy alone, all because that damned fingerprint lock!
The monster knew where its food was; it smashed the glass jar containing formalin and devoured its countless previous spoils.
Until Tuhao's wolf claws severed its throat.
When black blood splattered on his face, Tu Hao felt a sense of bewilderment, something he had never experienced before.
Looking at the claws on his hands, he couldn't tell whether he was still human.
He killed his employer on instinct.
Tu Hao had an unwritten rule in his career: never kill his employer.
Even if the other party goes too far, he can at most cripple them for life.
So even though he charges high prices and is selective about his clients, wealthy people are still more willing to work with him.
He killed his employer for the first time.
Thinking of this, Tu Hao felt a nameless fire burning inside him.
Compared to some trashy necrophilia, breaking his own rules was what bothered him more.
But never mind, the employer wasn't even human when he died. In this apocalypse, survival depends entirely on oneself, and he won't have another employer anyway.
……
What is Miao Yin?
He still had the cigarette between his fingers, and a sudden thought made him pause.
Who is she...?
