Chapter 253 - 226: Black Hole, Part 2
Jiang Si’s attack killed them instantly.
The leader of the group was also severely wounded. He tried to report back to the Holy Mother, but suddenly, Jiang Si’s Barrier expanded. The man’s hand, which he was about to use to send a message, twisted around and snapped his own neck.
The moment these men were dealt with, a beautiful woman, Bai Hezi, appeared above the Barrier.
Her smile was like a poisoned rose. She looked down on Jiang Si imperiously. "The Holy Mother said you wouldn’t be controlled. And she was right."
Jiang Si had expected as much. These men were merely a test.
Jiang Si reached out a hand, and Bai Hezi was involuntarily pulled down to land right in front of her.
She couldn’t muster an ounce of strength. She struggled in a panic, crying, "Help! Help me!!!" Then, suddenly, she burst into laughter. "You can’t kill me."
The next moment, she dissolved into a cloud of swirling sand that circled Jiang Si. "I’m so envious of your superpower," a voice said from the sand. "Why don’t you give it to me right now?"
A hand suddenly materialized from the sand and caressed Jiang Si’s chest, as if wanting to plunge inside. But it stopped abruptly. The voice muttered neurotically, "No, no, not yet..."
Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats. But Jiang Si just smiled, and Bai Hezi’s swirling cloud of sand was frozen solid in mid-air.
Bai Hezi was in complete disbelief. ’She can control me even in this state?’
She coveted Jiang Si’s power more than ever.
The next moment, she mentally unleashed her Illusion Technique on Jiang Si.
In the entire base, her power was second only to the Holy Mother and the Saint Heir.
She was supremely confident that she could control Jiang Si. But the next instant, Jiang Si sent her directly into a mercury mixer.
A vicious element within Jiang Si seemed to stir to life. "Enjoy yourself," she said.
Bai Hezi’s terrified screams followed, but they didn’t last long before falling silent.
Because Jiang Si had ripped out all the Superpower Stones from her body.
On her altar, the Holy Mother sensed Bai Hezi’s presence vanish. She silently cursed the woman for an idiot, then turned her impassive gaze toward Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen, who were being held separately under heavy guard.
As long as she controlled them, she knew Jiang Si would have to obey.
And so, shortly after Jiang Si killed Bai Hezi, another group of people entered, holding a lock of black hair to serve as a warning.
This time, however, they didn’t dare provoke Jiang Si further. They simply stated their demand: "Take out everything you have in your spatial storage!"
Everything in Jiang Si’s spatial storage was something she had painstakingly accumulated. She was reluctant to hand it over, but she had no choice.
But the storage room was clearly too small. The weapons alone from her spatial storage were enough to fill it.
So, once she had filled the room, the men pointed their guns at her and led her to another storage depot.
Apparently, they knew roughly how many supplies she had.
Jiang Si surmised, ’I’ve probably been under surveillance ever since I ran into those two superpower users.’
That meant she had to take out nearly all the supplies she had gathered since that encounter.
Fortunately, they didn’t ask for everything. What she had before that encounter was still enough for her and her companions to live on for a lifetime.
She kept emptying her storage until it seemed to be enough, then told the men, "That’s it."
Her cold and powerful aura made the men hesitate for a moment before one of them said, "You, come with me!"
Jiang Si refused flatly. "They stay with me. Otherwise, I have no problem sending you all to your deaths right now."
They had gotten a glimpse of just how terrifying Jiang Si could be from what happened to Bai Hezi.
The men muttered amongst themselves before finally agreeing to imprison Jiang Si and the others together for the time being.
It was only after they were led into a cell that Jiang Si finally understood. The Holy Mother Base was, in fact, the infamous Aisbao Prison.
It once housed the world’s most dangerous criminals and boasted the most advanced security system.
As soon as Jiang Si and her companions entered, they saw endless rows of densely packed cells, all of them occupied.
The inhabitants were all survivors of the apocalypse—ordinary people who had become followers of the Holy Mother Base.
Their sole purpose was to contribute to the Holy Mother Base.
...in exchange for a scrap of food, clinging desperately to life.
The cells had no running water or bedding. The clothes on their backs were their only possessions.
Jiang Si even saw someone who had fallen asleep get immediately stripped of their clothes by others.
The moment they entered, someone called out from a nearby cell to their guard, "Any work today? Is there work?"
Another prisoner even started to kneel in their direction, and in an instant, everyone began chanting like madmen: "We live to serve the Holy Mother! We live to serve the Holy Mother!!!"
