Chapter 205: Chapter 202: This Should Be Upgradeable Too, Right?

Chen Xing: "..." ’What would I do with your leg?’

’No, that’s not right!’

A thought seemed to strike her, and she looked at nightingale in surprise.

nightingale winked at her, then closed his eyes.

His Jiezhi Space was accessed through a necklace.

Worried he might lose it, or that it might fall into someone else’s hands if he were captured, he had implanted the necklace into his right calf.

Even when he was captured and searched, he always found a way to keep them from examining his calf, which was how he’d kept it safe until now.

Since the 00007 he longed for was Chen Xing, why not help her achieve perfection?

Make her even more invincible, even more perfect, so that no one in the world could ever hope to catch up.

She was, without a doubt, the most perfect Killing Demon he had ever seen.

nightingale was already dead, but with the Crystal Core still present, his upper body retained a spark of life. If it wasn’t removed, he would never truly die, but he wouldn’t be truly alive, either.

Chen Xing never imagined that nightingale would give her such an incredible gift with his dying breath.

She walked over and directly extracted the Crystal Core from his head.

’His right leg...’

Just as she was wondering how to find the object in nightingale’s leg, thick iron walls began to slam down from the ceiling, sealing the perimeter of the room.

In an instant, the room was plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Chen Xing: "..." ’Do they know I’m about to do something in secret?’

’Well, since they’ve even set the mood for me, I might as well get to it.’

She turned over the lower half of nightingale’s body and saw that it was mangled beyond recognition from an explosion.

Fighting back a wave of nausea, she began her search at his right ankle.

Soon, she found a small, flat piece of plastic embedded in the thickest part of his calf.

She pulled it out. Inside was a silver necklace with a tiny, pale emerald set in the center.

’This... it looks like my emerald ring, but the emerald is much smaller.’

But... nothing happened when she held it in her hand.

So, after cleaning the necklace, she put it on.

Instantly, a space appeared before her. It was only about the size of a single room, but it was packed with items.

Chen Xing didn’t examine it closely. She immediately took off the necklace, stored it in her own space, and said to nightingale’s body, "I’ve accepted your gift. I’ll kill Hao Wenli for you."

She scanned the dark room, pinpointing the direction in which Hao Wenli had vanished.

Just then, a piercing roar suddenly echoed through the room.

The sound was like a sharp knife, brutally digging into her skull.

With what little tolerance she had left, she lashed out with a kick, using nearly eighty percent of her strength.

The massive iron wall collapsed, taking the outer concrete wall down with it and sending up a cloud of dust from the floor.

The piercing sound didn’t stop, continuing to grate on her every nerve.

Her vision was starting to blur.

She quickly reached into her satchel and pulled out a pair of earplugs.

As the sound diminished, she started to feel some relief.

She focused her gaze forward and saw creatures much like Hao Wenli, waving their tentacles, itching to attack her. The only one missing was Hao Wenli herself.

The moment Chen Xing fully composed herself, these half-human, half-monster abominations charged at her in unison.

Her sharp eyes spotted a door to their side.

’If I’m not mistaken, that should be the door I came in through.’

With a wave of her hand, she flung out a chain of electricity and smoothly made her way to the door.

She didn’t leave right away. Instead, she gathered her electrical energy and continued to exterminate the tentacled monsters.

The monsters were only completely annihilated after she had used up more than half of her stored electrical energy.

After leaving the room, Chen Xing didn’t flee. Instead, she entered the last room on the floor.

Unfortunately, it was just an empty room.

She searched everywhere but couldn’t find any hidden entrances or exits.

She looked up at the ceiling.

’There are still nearly a hundred floors above this one, aren’t there?’

Just then, a perfectly square ceiling panel next to a light fixture caught her eye.

She took a few steps back, then with a running jump, she punched through the ceiling panel.

A bright light instantly poured down, revealing a passageway above that was just tall enough for a person to stand in.

The passage wasn’t long. At the far end was a door.

As Chen Xing pushed the door open and stepped inside, the few people in the room all froze in shock.

They never imagined she would appear from there.

Chen Xing arrogantly lifted her chin, her gaze sweeping past Hao Wenli in the distance to her parents in their white lab coats.

Hao Dongbang and Li Helili were standing by a hospital bed, and they froze mid-action at Chen Xing’s sudden intrusion.

Chen Xing’s gaze followed their hands down to the bed. A beautiful woman lay there, her brow furrowed in agony.

Perhaps because of the immense pain, her hands were clenched into tight fists.

As for her lower body, it had simply vanished.

Chen Xing glared at the researchers in their white lab coats, and a murderous look instantly solidified in her eyes.

Hao Wenli immediately turned to run.

She wasn’t a hundred percent certain she could win against her!

But Chen Xing was a step faster. She pressed the tip of her blade to Hao Dongbang’s throat. "You run, and I kill Hao Dongbang!"

Hao Wenli turned her head and gave a savage grin.

’Like I’d care about Hao Dongbang’s life? How ridiculous!’

"Chen Xing, I can’t believe you’re still so naive. You think someone like me would care about him?"

Seeing that she was completely unfazed, Chen Xing slit Hao Dongbang’s throat. "You don’t care about your father. What about your mother?"

As she spoke, she moved the blade to press against Li Helili’s neck.

Hao Wenli’s brow twitched, and a malevolent anger flared across her face.

’Those two monsters, my parents, were supposed to die by my hands!’

"I should be thanking you for killing these two beasts for me!" Hao Wenli spat, then vanished out the door.

"Wenli..." Li Helili couldn’t believe her own daughter would abandon her at a time like this.

Without another word, Chen Xing’s blade sliced across Li Helili’s throat.

Seeing that Chen Xing was truly on a killing spree, the few remaining researchers in white coats made a mad dash for the door.

As if Chen Xing would let them escape. Her blade flashed, and in an instant, they were all dead.

At that moment, alarm sirens began to blare throughout the entire building.

Chen Xing paid them no mind and chased after Hao Wenli.

But... she searched the floors above and below and couldn’t find her.

By now, patrol teams were swarming everywhere.

Chen Xing gave up her search for Hao Wenli. She put on a hat and blended in with the crowd of evacuees streaming out of the building.

She cut through the side streets and made her way to the Carson family’s home.

She knocked, but when no one answered, she keyed in the password and let herself in.

He had told her when she left that she was welcome to stay anytime.

Carson wasn’t there. ’He probably went out to look for food.’

Since she was alone, Chen Xing took the opportunity to examine the necklace.

It turned out that once the necklace entered her Jiezhi Space, it synced with her ring. Now, even without taking the necklace out, she could access its separate space.

She tried hiding inside it and confirmed that it could conceal a person.

The only drawback was that you would always exit at the same spot you entered.

’This should be upgradeable, right?’

Chen Xing decided the best place in her space was by the spring, so she placed the necklace there.

She ate something and slept until dark, but Carson still hadn’t come back.

Chen Xing had a bad feeling.

Monsters came out after dark. No matter where Carson was, he wouldn’t be safe!

’I have to go look for him.’

Before she could even leave, the window suddenly flashed with a brilliant light, like a firework, spectacularly illuminating the night sky.
