I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Have you remembered it?

Liu Yuemei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Su Wan and Liu Yanni stopped and looked back blankly, wondering what had happened.

Thunderstorms erupted overhead, and lightning illuminated Wang Wei's face with alternating light and shadow.

He stood there, neither angry nor imposing, and even had a slight smile on his lips.

"I...I...I didn't..." Liu Yuemei's voice trembled as she tried to explain.

But an invisible pressure came crashing down.

"Thump—"

Liu Yuemei was pinned to the ground.

"Click"

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

"ah--"

Liu Yuemei let out a piercing scream.

Beside them, Su Wan and Liu Yanni exchanged a hint of reluctance, but neither of them dared to speak.

"I'll talk, I'll talk," Liu Yuemei cried, "Zhao Lie asked me to find out about your domain ability."

Wang Wei looked at Liu Yuemei lying on the ground, his expression unchanged.

From the very first day Zhao Lie brought her here, he knew the purpose of this chess piece.

"It was...it was the Alliance that sent him to investigate."

Liu Yuemei spoke with difficulty from the ground, her voice broken and intermittent, as if something was squeezing her throat.

"Please...please don't kill me..."

Her tears mixed with mud, smearing her face.

"I'll die if I don't do as I say... Zhao Lie left me with supernatural powers... I'll die if I don't obey..."

"Really, I didn't mean to hurt you, and I certainly didn't want to go against you. I just wanted to survive..."

Su Wan and her friend didn't see what happened to the fifty-seven superhumans, but Liu Yuemei secretly did.

Wang Wei's resolute decision had long been imprinted in her heart.

Even knowing the outcome, Liu Yuemei's survival instinct still allowed her to hold onto a sliver of hope.

Wang Wei's expression remained unchanged; the moment she agreed to become a pawn, the outcome was already predetermined.

But seeing Liu Yuemei lying on the ground in such a pitiful state, Su Wan finally couldn't help but say, "She had no choice in the matter."

Liu Yanni hesitated, her lips moved, but she ultimately remained silent.

What right does she have to offer advice?

What if Liu Yuemei survives and becomes a threat to Wang Wei?

Her and Su Wan's only support right now is Wang Wei.

If something happens to him, they won't have a good ending either.

"Sister Su...Sister Liu...please...help me..."

Seeing that Wang Wei remained unmoved, Liu Yuemei turned to them for help again.

Before he could finish speaking, the invisible pressure suddenly intensified.

"Click—"

Another crisp cracking sound of bones breaking.

Liu Yuemei's scream pierced the night sky, then turned into a painful sob.

Her body was twisted and deformed, like a fish thrown ashore, struggling desperately in the mud, but she didn't even have the strength to turn over.

Su Wan's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Liu Yanni turned her head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

She didn't understand how the group of people who were just chatting and laughing could suddenly become like this.

No matter what, Liu Yuemei served Wang Wei for a night. Even if there was no affection between them, they had at least had physical intimacy.

Why did Wang Wei suddenly launch an attack?

However, at this moment—

A layer of pale blue electric light suddenly appeared on Liu Yuemei's body, which briefly broke through Wang Wei's oppressive aura.

Liu Yuemei took a deep breath, like a drowning person finally surfacing.

The supernatural power that Zhao Lie left in her body was triggered at the critical moment of life and death.

"Um?"

Wang Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.

But that's about it.

The layer of lightning energy lasted for less than a second before emitting a crisp sound—

"Snap—"

It collapsed instantly.

Liu Yuemei was forced back to the ground, blood spilling from her mouth.

But in that instant of gasping for breath, a strange power surged and burst forth within her.

In that dying moment, she actually woke up.

Wang Wei's expression remained indifferent.

He had long known that Liu Yuemei was on the verge of awakening.

I didn't expect him to force me to reveal this.

A-level superpower, 200 safety points.

This was the first thing that came to Wang Wei's mind.

I wonder what Liu Yuemei would think if she knew that she was just a bunch of numbers in Wang Wei's eyes.

Liu Yuemei was also stunned.

She felt the new life force within her and desperately wanted to activate it to resist the invisible pressure.

But then she looked desperate.

Useless.

Faced with this pressure, her awakened superpowers were as insignificant as a speck of dust.

There was no room for struggle.

Liu Yuemei gave a bitter smile and gave up struggling.

She stopped struggling and pleading, and just lay on the ground, letting the dirt and blood smear all over her face.

"I just want to live..."

Her voice was very soft, almost inaudible.

"I just want to live... why is it so hard..."

Wang Wei looked down at her, his face expressionless.

"Wang Wei..."

Liu Yuemei struggled to lift her head, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but a strange smile on her face.

"You brought us out tonight...it was a setup for me."

"I should be glad that you went to such lengths to scheme against me."

Wang Wei looked down at her, his gaze calm as still water.

"You've realized it now?" His tone was completely flat. "Too bad, it's too late."

Liu Yuemei did not answer.

"Am I going to die...?"

She murmured to herself, her voice growing softer and softer.

"Finally, I don't have to live in fear anymore."

Her gaze passed over Wang Wei and fell upon the sky above, torn apart by the thunderstorm.

"No more living in fear in this disgusting world..."

A hint of relief appeared in her eyes.

"I'm free."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body went completely limp and she lay motionless on the ground.

A thunderstorm exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire neighborhood in a stark white light.

Su Wan covered her mouth, tears silently streaming down her face.

Liu Yanni turned her head away, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Wang Wei stood there, looking down at Liu Yuemei's body, and remained silent for three seconds.

Then he turned around, his tone as calm as if nothing had happened:

"Let's go back."

Su Wan and Liu Yanni exchanged a glance and followed in silence.

Liu Yuemei's body lay in the mud, slowly losing its last warmth.

.......

In the distance, the villa's lobby.

Zhao Lie was sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup.

"Zhao Shen, what do you think Wang Wei is like...?" Fatty Li started to say, but then stopped mid-sentence.

"Click—"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the teacup in Zhao Lie's hand.

Tea seeped out from the crack and dripped onto his fingers.

"Um?"

Zhao Lie frowned.

The superpower he left in Liu Yuemei's body—was broken.

"Zhao Shen, what's wrong?" Fatty Li asked in surprise.

Zhao Lie did not respond, but looked up out the window.

From the direction of Jinxiu Tiancheng, a strange fluctuation of supernatural power suddenly rose up—

Grade A.

Someone has awakened.

Is it Liu Yuemei?

Zhao Lie suddenly stood up.

however--

The fluctuation lasted for less than three seconds.

Then, it disappeared.

It has completely disappeared.

Like a lamp, it was just lit up when it was extinguished.

Zhao Lie stood there, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Fatty Li asked cautiously, "Zhao Shen?"

Zhao Lie did not answer, his gaze fixed on the direction of Jinxiu Tiancheng residential area.

"Dead..."

Fatty Li looked completely bewildered. "Who died?"

"Let's go, come with me to find Wang Wei," Zhao Lie whispered.

Fatty Li was taken aback. "Looking for Wang Wei? What for?"

"Collect the body..."
