72: Chapter 72 is truly a strange sense of ritual.

"Ahhh—!!!"

"Help—!!!"

"Don't come over—!!!"

In the living room, the screams of over forty strong men echoed throughout the entire apartment.

That was fear originating from the depths of their souls.

Inside the bedroom.

Su Yuyan suddenly opened her eyes.

As a female CEO, she woke up from her sleep instantly.

"What happened?!"

She quickly got up and rushed out of the room.

Almost simultaneously.

Lin Ruoxue woke up, followed by Lin Wanrou.

The mother and daughter supported each other as they walked out of the room.

Chu Yanran's face was pale as she tremblingly pushed open the door.

Ye Qingyue rubbed her eyes, still a bit dazed.

Bai Xingli was the last to wake up, slowly stretching.

The women rushed to the living room entrance, and the sight before them left them stunned.

Inside the living room, black mist surged!

The eerie darkness wriggled like a living thing, swallowing the entire space.

Over forty strong men were trapped in the black mist, struggling and screaming frantically.

Countless pale arms reached out from the black mist, like demons from hell!

"This... this is..."

Su Yuyan's pupils constricted.

She had seen Ye Qingxue's Superpower, but she had never seen such a terrifying scene.

"It is Ye Qingxue's Abyss of Death..." Chu Yanran said, her voice trembling.

Just as the women were shocked,

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Dozens of emerald green Vines broke through the air from the windows!

The Vines were like living things, instantly passing through the black mist and piercing precisely towards a certain direction outside the apartment.

"Ah—!"

A woman's scream rang out.

The next second, a figure was dragged by the Vines and flew into the living room.

It was Chen Meier!

She was tightly bound by countless Vines, unable to move!

"How is it possible... How is it possible!"

Chen Meier's face was as pale as paper, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had clearly been very careful!

She had clearly set up a net!

But why... had this man discovered her so early?!

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, playing with a glass of red wine in his hand.

From beginning to end, he had not stood up.

"Did you think I wouldn't see through your little tricks?"

Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a playful smile.

Chen Meier trembled all over.

She had seriously underestimated this man's strength!

She had also seriously underestimated this man's caution!

From the very beginning, she had already been discovered by this man!

Inside the living room, the screams in the black mist grew weaker.

Ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

The voices of over forty strong men all disappeared.

The black mist dissipated.

On the ground lay over forty corpses.

Including that D-rank Ability User.

Even in death, they maintained expressions of terror.

As if they had seen something unspeakable and terrifying.

Su Yuyan gasped.

Lin Wanrou hugged her daughter tightly, covering her eyes.

Chu Yanran's face was pale, and her legs felt weak.

Bai Xingli narrowed her eyes, still maintaining her lazy appearance.

Only Ye Qingyue had a flash of excitement in her eyes.

She looked at her sister's back, full of admiration.

Ye Qingxue slowly put away her Superpower, and the black mist completely dissipated.

She turned around, her cold gaze sweeping over Chen Meier.

In that instant, Chen Meier felt as if she had been targeted by the Grim Reaper.

"No... don't kill me!"

Chen Meier struggled frantically.

She knew she had nowhere to run.

In desperation, she unleashed all her Superpower!

B-rank Psychic Ability, the strongest mental attack, Charm!

An invisible mental wave spread instantly!

This was her last trump card!

As long as she could charm Lin Yuan and make him her loyal puppet, she would still have a chance of survival!

The mental wave spread like ripples, heading straight for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan frowned.

He felt a hint of palpitations.

This kind of mental attack... was a bit interesting.

However.

His Spiritual Power had long since broken through 300, while Chen Meier's was at most 200.

This level of charm was completely useless against him.

But Ye Qingxue would not give her a chance.

Almost the moment Chen Meier unleashed her Superpower,

Ye Qingxue's terrifying Spiritual Power erupted!

The Spiritual Power of the Abyss of Death hit Chen Meier's mental sea like an iron hammer!

"Ahhh—!!!"

Chen Meier let out a shrill scream.

Her mental sea was shattered in an instant!

Blood flowed from her seven orifices!

Her eyes lost focus!

The next second, her body fell softly.

She was dead.

Chen Meier, this woman who survived in the Apocalypse by absorbing the life force of men, died just like that.

She died cleanly and neatly.

The women were dumbfounded.

They knew Lin Yuan and Ye Qingxue were strong.

But they didn't expect them to be this strong.

Over forty strong men, plus a D-rank Ability User and a B-rank Esper.

In front of the two of them, they were like ants.

Easily crushed.

Lin Yuan stood up and looked at Chen Meier's corpse.

"Let's go down and take a look; there should still be survivors."

His tone was very calm.

As if he had just dealt with a fly.

The women followed Lin Yuan to the apartment basement.

The moment they pushed open the iron door,

A foul stench rushed towards them.

Su Yuyan covered her mouth and nose, her brows furrowed tightly.

Lin Wanrou's face was pale, and she protected her daughter tightly.

Chu Yanran began to retch directly.

In the basement, ten women were imprisoned.

They were dressed in rags, and their bodies were covered in wounds.

Some wounds were still bleeding.

Some had already festered.

Their eyes were empty and numb, as if they had lost their souls.

Seeing Lin Yuan and the others enter, there was finally a glimmer of fluctuation in their eyes.

That was... a longing for death.

"Kill us..." a woman said hoarsely.

"Please... kill us..."

"We... don't want to live anymore..."

"Please... give us a quick end..."

The ten women were all begging for release.

They had suffered inhuman torture here.

Every day was spent in agony in hell.

Death, to them, was already the greatest gift.

Su Yuyan was stunned.

Lin Wanrou's eyes turned red.

Chu Yanran covered her mouth, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Bai Xingli's expression also became rarely solemn.

Lin Ruoxue bit her lip tightly, her body trembling.

Ye Qingyue hid behind her sister, not daring to look.

This was the Apocalypse.

Cruel, hopeless, and devoid of humanity.

Lin Yuan was silent for a few seconds.

"Qingxue."

He said softly.

Ye Qingxue nodded.

She raised her hand, and the power of shadow condensed into a sharp blade.

Swish!

Ten black blades slashed across simultaneously.

The eyes of the ten women finally became peaceful.

There was a hint of a smile on their lips.

They were freed.

Finally... freed.

The women watched this scene, their hearts heavy.

They thought of themselves.

If they hadn't met Lin Yuan...

If they hadn't followed Lin Yuan...

Would their fate have been the same?

In the Apocalypse, women are the most vulnerable existence.

Without strength, one can only be slaughtered by others.

Their eyes towards Lin Yuan changed.

Lin Yuan felt the change.

His C-rank Danger Perception could see the color of the light above the women's heads.

Lin Ruoxue... changed from white to blue.

From neutral, it became friendly.

Su Yuyan, Lin Wanrou, Chu Yanran... the original blue became deeper.

Their dependence on Lin Yuan became stronger.

Bai Xingli... changed from light green to dark green.

She remembered the first time she met Lin Yuan.

How similar was this experience?

If Lin Yuan hadn't saved her...

She would have become like those women.

The Ye Sisters were still the brightest green.

Their loyalty to Lin Yuan had never changed.

Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a smile.

The effect this time was not bad.

Morning.

Lin Yuan felt a sense of comfort.

Warm, moist...

He opened his eyes in a daze.

Then he woke up with a start!

Damn!

He had... gone to the bathroom in his dream!

Lin Yuan's face changed drastically, and he immediately checked the quilt.

But strangely...

There was no pungent smell.

Nor was there a wet feeling.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed it was a false alarm.

He lifted his head in confusion.

He saw Su Yuyan sitting by the bed, looking at him with a flushed face.

Her mouth was puffed up...

Then...

Gulp!

Lin Yuan: ???

He saw a cup on the table by the bed.

Oh, it turned out Su Yuyan had drunk a glass of milk.

That was fine then.

This woman, she was really strange, coming to his bedroom to drink milk?

What a strange sense of ritual.

Although he didn't understand, he respected it...

Lin Yuan didn't think too much and got up to get dressed.

As for a sneak attack or assassination, that was even more impossible; blue was the final explanation.

"Get ready, we continue our journey."

Target.

Su Yuyan's villa in Xingyao City.
