Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Li Su's head sank heavily.

"Well!"

Everything before my eyes instantly became a double image.

The corridor began to shake, and the cracks in the walls seemed to come alive and twist.

The black ring has been activated.

Her psychic power seemed to be bitten by something, and the range of its release shrank from tens of meters to less than five meters.

five meters.

For ordinary people, it's close enough.

But for Li Su, who was used to killing people from a distance with her telekinesis, this was almost equivalent to cutting off half of her hands and feet.

Luo Kui led six team members up the stairs.

Wearing gas masks and carrying rifles loaded with armor-piercing rounds, they opened fire on Li Su.

Gunshots rang out in the narrow corridor.

The bullet grazed Li Su's body, hitting the walls and the ground, sending sparks flying.

Li Su swayed as she dodged the first volley of bullets.

Her movements were a beat slower than before.

Each movement requires several times more effort than usual.

She raised her hand, wanting to release her mental power, but felt as if countless threads were tearing at each other in her mind, and every bit of power she mobilized brought excruciating pain.

She was all too familiar with this kind of pain.

When I was in the mental hospital, the medications injected into my body gave me the same feeling.

It was as if someone had forcibly pulled her consciousness out of her body and then torn it to pieces.

She held back then.

The same is true now.

The bullet grazed her left shoulder, spraying blood everywhere.

The pain felt like a red-hot nail, driven from the shoulder into the brain.

Li Su gritted her teeth, using the pain to force herself to concentrate.

five meters.

enough.

She lunged forward, skimming four meters along the ground, and appeared in front of Luo Kui.

"What?!"

Luo Kui was shocked. Before he could turn the gun around, Li Suyi grabbed the barrel.

The gun barrel was scorching hot.

Li Su's palm was scorched and a layer of white smoke rose from it, but she seemed completely unaware of it.

"Crack!"

The barrel was bent, and the bullet exploded inside the chamber.

Luo Kui's hands were torn to shreds and he fell backward with a scream.

Li Su took a step forward, grabbed his neck with her left hand, and lifted him up.

"Where is the black ring?"

Her voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed pain.

"You...you killed me, and Team Leader Qin will tear you to pieces!"

Luo Kui squeezed out a few words from his throat.

Li Su's eyes were as cold as ice.

"I'll kill him, then I'll kill you."

Her right hand was placed on Luo Kui's chest.

The psychic power surged into his body through his palm.

Luo Kui's chest suddenly caved inward.

Before he could even scream, his heart was crushed.

Li Su threw his body to the other end of the corridor.

The two team members who were shooting at her were hit by the flying human body; one was knocked to the ground, and the other took two steps back.

Li Su did not give them a chance to refocus.

She grabbed a broken cement slab from the ground and threw it forward.

The cement slab spun through the corridor with a whooshing sound, cleaving both team members in two at the same time.

Blood splattered on the wall, like a bucket of deep red paint had been poured on it.

Qin Yan saw this scene from the observation window.

His smile finally disappeared.

From the moment Luo Kui was lifted up to the moment the two team members were cleaved in two by the concrete slab, less than three seconds had passed.

three seconds.

Two well-trained armed men, plus a tactical captain, were all gone.

Qin Yan's back began to feel cold.

He realized he had made a mistake.

He thought that if the black ring could suppress Li Su's mental strength to less than five meters, it would give the team members an absolute advantage.

But he forgot.

Before she awakened, Li Su was already a woman who was locked in a mental hospital, tied to a bed, and injected with an unknown number of drugs.

Her tolerance for "restraint" far exceeds that of normal people.

The black ring could interfere with her telekinesis, but it could not interfere with her will.

"Activate the black ring in the underground ventilation duct! Push her down!"

He shouted into the communicator.

"Groups one and two, flank from the first floor! Group three, get on the roof and block their escape route from above! Quickly!"

The team members downstairs immediately sprang into action.

Footsteps, the clanging of gun barrels, and breathing mingled together, like a pack of startled wild beasts.

Li Su stood at the break in the second-floor corridor, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

She looked down at her injured left shoulder.

The wound wasn't deep, but it bled a lot.

Blood trickled down her arm, dripping from her fingertips onto the ground.

She didn't feel any pain.

She only felt anger.

That feeling of being restrained is back.

The power of the black ring was like an invisible net, tightening around her from all directions, constantly pulling and depleting her mental energy.

"I'm so...fed up with all of you rubbish."

She said it in a low voice.

Then she looked up and stretched her hand toward the ceiling.

"Go to hell, all of you."

Her spiritual power, like a sword tempered to its limit, suddenly broke through the suppression of the black ring and pierced straight into the night sky above her head.

In the distance, the gantry crane, the abandoned mine carts, and the railway tracks scattered on the ground—all the metal objects emitted a piercing buzzing sound at the same time.

The sound was like the entire old industrial area was crying.

Qin Yan's expression changed drastically.

"She's summoning heavenly lightning!"

He rushed to the window and looked up.

A very thin bolt of lightning appeared in the sky.

Lightning struck from the clouds, hitting the high-voltage power tower on the north side of the bungalow with pinpoint accuracy.

A massive electric current, like a silvery-white dragon, surged along the ground lines and instantly filled the bungalow.

"Power trip! Trip the power now!"

Qin Yan's shouts were drowned out by a series of explosions.

The electrical distribution boxes on the wall exploded one after another.

Sparks flew and the smell of burning filled the air.

All the black ring devices in the corridor burned out due to overload.

The underground black ring also stopped operating.

The entire stronghold was plunged into darkness.

No.

It wasn't complete darkness.

Because Li Su's eyes shone with a silvery light in the darkness.

She walked down the stairs step by step.

Each step on the broken bricks made a clear sound.

The sound was like a death knell, pounding in the ears of every Black Falcon member.

"You use restraints against me."

"You used poison gas against me."

"You used a mind suppressor on me."

"I've seen these things many times."

"In mental hospitals, in research centers, in grain depots."

"Every time, you try to trap me."

"Every time, you all thought you could win."

Li Su raised her hands.

In the darkness, all the broken metal, bricks, wood chips, and glass floated up.

The fragments hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating, reflecting the silvery light in her eyes.

"But I don't need to break free."

"All I need to do is grind what's holding me down into powder."

The words fell.

All weapons were unleashed simultaneously.

Screams rang out simultaneously from all parts of the stronghold.

Someone was pinned to the wall by metal fragments.

Someone had their chest cavity pierced by a brick.

Someone had their throat cut by glass.

Someone ran desperately toward the door, but was pierced through the back by a flying steel bar halfway there.

Less than five seconds.

Of the twenty-three people, only Qin Yan remained.
