"Um, that..."

Ah Xiang's eyes darted around, and he couldn't say a word for a moment.

The one before me is the true pinnacle of calamity, and he is on the path of [Chaos].

In every aspect, they were completely outmatched; there was no way to fight them, and no way to escape.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked A Xiang's back.

Should they just expose their own boss?

Do not!

Although Zhongzhen is a bit fierce, has a foul mouth, and likes to hit people... well, in short, he treats him very well.

If it weren't for him, I would have died on the street long ago, turning into a pile of mud in a garbage dump.

A hint of resistance flashed in A Xiang's eyes.

Jiang Mian understood perfectly well, but she wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, she idly played with her hair.

This guy may be ugly, but he's actually quite loyal?

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Seeing that she had relaxed her guard, a dark glint flashed in A Xiang's eyes, and the shadow beneath his feet surged violently.

He suddenly sprang up, drew a strangely shaped short knife from his body, and transformed into a streak of black light, aiming straight for Jiang Mian's waist and abdomen!

The human body, which is characterized by its impermanence and constant change, naturally has weaknesses that cannot be measured by conventional standards.

However, if we can render it incapacitated, we can at least buy some time.

Although his [Shadow Strike] is a skill-based ability and he is not good at close combat, he is still a fifth-tier player!

If you concentrate all your strength into one point and unleash it, the destructive power will be equally astonishing!

Although the diseased individuals have less control over their own abilities than the awakened ones, Zhong Zhen comes from an extraordinary background and has access to far more things than ordinary people.

In particular, some of the strength control techniques, combined with the experience of several generations, are naturally extraordinary.

As Zhongzhen's confidant, Ah Xiang has learned quite a bit, and is naturally incomparable to those "wild" disease patients.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mian was not surprised at all by this sudden attack.

She glanced at the solid black blade light on the knife, and the skin on her right hand instantly turned pitch black as she reached out to grab the blade!

The moment the two touched, a dense power of shadow quietly spread out.

In an instant, the entire street was plunged into complete darkness.

At the center of the collision, Ah Xiang felt a numbness in his hand and realized something was wrong. He quickly released his weapon and retreated rapidly.

That last strike missed completely; the opponent caught it with their bare hands!

Even the power of the second stage of the burst couldn't hurt her. Is this... the power of the pinnacle?

Even before they've really gotten serious, the sense of pressure is already this strong.

However, after retreating not far, Ah Xiang felt a cold hand firmly grab the back of his neck.

"Commendable courage."

Jiang Mian's emotionless voice came from beside him.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and with his palm transformed into a blade, he was about to turn around and retaliate when a sharp pain shot through the depths of his consciousness.

His body began to tremble violently, as if he were struggling against that force.

But soon there was no more movement, and it peacefully fell asleep.

Jiang Mian's gaze pierced through the darkness and landed on him.

She's not some dark villain who indiscriminately kills innocent people.

Jiang Mian has always been very tolerant and friendly towards "good people," and giving them a way out is not out of the question.

After all, this guy in front of me seems to know a lot of inside information, maybe he's related to the eyes and ears of the authorities planted here?

To manage a place like this, black gloves are definitely essential.

Just to be on the safe side, I definitely need to get to the bottom of this.

Jiang Mian waved her hand gently, and the darkness that enveloped the entire street receded, swallowed up by the shadow beneath her feet.

In truth, the power of [Formless] is indeed quite suitable for her.

I've only had it for a few days, but I've already figured out most of how to use it.

For example, she tried to reverse the methods she used to control the members of the mutual aid society, changing it to planting a seed in their minds and using it to control their physical bodies.

That way, we don't need to create any flesh and blood derivatives.

Moreover, this method works directly on the mind, meaning that any approach can be tried.

The success rate is questionable, with [Chaos] and [Natural Disaster] having the highest success rates, nearly 90%.

Jiang Mian just used this method, but he preserved his complete consciousness to avoid losing any important memories.

Actually, reading it directly is fine, but it takes too much time and you have to slowly flip through it. It's better to let him explain the simplified version himself.

About half a minute later, Ah Xiang groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

Jiang Mian smiled slightly and said:

"You're awake? The surgery was a success. You're mine now."

Ah Xiang's eyes widened immediately.

Looking at her smiling face, he suddenly remembered what he had just experienced and instinctively stepped back.

"stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually stopped what he was doing.

"Now tell me about the people behind you."

"No... my boss's name is Zhong Zhen, he is..."

Just as Ah Xiang was about to refuse, his mouth started moving uncontrollably, and he poured out all the information about the underground city.

This place is the largest gathering place of diseased individuals within the core area since the containment operation began, bar none.

There were even nine sixth-order disease patients, evenly distributed among their Imperial Will Hall and the other two forces.

The growth of a diseased person is extremely difficult, and a living sixth-stage patient is very rare, perhaps only one in tens of thousands.

After all, the conditions are quite demanding. The most basic requirements are innate talent, sufficient inhibitors, and the individual's willpower.

It's worth mentioning that the first president of the patient support group that Jiang Mian had previously encountered also came from there.

As for the "boss" that A Xiang mentioned, he is currently the only surviving level seven disease patient.

Sequence 25, [Killing] Path, [Tyrant].

"A tyrant..."

Jiang Mian frowned slightly; this ability was indeed not weak.

In particular, his Judgment Domain can ignore all stealth skills, making him a nemesis of Chaos.

If we get pulled in, we'll have no choice but to fight head-on.

Without revealing your hand, you really can't win.

What's more troublesome is that while Zhong Zhen's official identity is that of a local tyrant, he is actually someone cultivated by the government.

His family background was even more distinguished, with a top-tier expert from the second generation among his direct relatives—

Sequence 10, [War] Path, [Huang Yan War God].

Come to think of it, is he the brother of the guy who chased me yesterday?

"Alright."

Jiang Mian snapped his fingers, releasing A Xiang from his control.

He collapsed to the ground, staring at Jiang Mian with a hateful gaze, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

That feeling of being completely controlled and powerless... it's terrifying!

Ah Xiang could already guess what the other party wanted to do with him: first, they would get him back to the boss's side, and then betray him!

"Boss—I'm so sorry!"

The more he thought about it, the more grief-stricken and indignant he became, and in a moment of uncontrollable emotion, he pounded the ground.

Seeing that he suddenly started to act crazy, Jiang Mian subconsciously took a few steps to the side.

What's going on in this guy's head?

It's better to stay away.

Now that she knew the other party's background, she naturally wouldn't be so arrogant as to go directly to their door to start a fight.

But I'll be found out sooner or later, so what should I do...?

Jiang Mian originally just wanted to take a stroll around.

I didn't expect to get so many good things in such a short time, and I was actually a little reluctant to leave.

Jiang Mian thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.

But before that, we need to punish the guy who framed me.

After all... she holds a grudge quite a bit!
