Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 346 - 341: She Is Definitely That Person!

Huang Ying’s face went pale with shock. She knew Ji Ning’s strength was unfathomable, but she had never seen Ji Ning control someone with spiritual power up close.

Seeing Ye Xingyan being controlled at this moment, an unprecedented fear arose from the depths of her heart.

The disguise on Ye Xingyan’s face had been ripped away by energy, revealing a somewhat handsome face, but it was now twisted in agony, the whites of his eyes streaked with red blood vessels, as if staining his pupils.

He was resisting Ji Ning’s spiritual power, but he underestimated Ji Ning’s true prowess.

The terrifying, invisible force filled the entire room.

Huang Ying suddenly realized she could only hear Ye Xingyan’s painful wails, no longer the ambient sounds, as if the space she was in had been isolated into an absolutely silent state.

Such a dreadful control, there was no breaking free or escaping.

Only powerlessness and infinite fear remained.

She felt time passing very slowly, yet couldn’t discern how long it had been.

Were it not for the two people in front of her, the feeling would have been utterly hopeless.

Eventually, Ye Xingyan’s cries faded away, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, as if time itself had washed over him.

The surrounding silence gradually gave way to sound, and she finally heard Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong speaking.

The cheerfulness made her want to cry.

On the ground.

Ye Xingyan looked pale, his entire body like it had fallen into the sea, drenched and wet.

Some of his graying hair lay limp against his head, and he was gasping for air.

"Huff... Huff..."

He had finally survived it.

The loss of control in his mind just now was more devastating than any experiment before.

At last, fear appeared in his eyes.

Fear of Ji Ning.

She was definitely that person!

Ji Ning tried hard to suppress her violent superpower, a trace of regret flashing in her gaze.

Ye Xingyan was indeed a rare genius in a hundred years from the Ye Family, with a spiritual power level reaching SS-level.

As he said, his brain development reached at least 10%.

He layered and specially trained his memories, making it harder than anyone else for him to be controlled.

Using seventy percent of her spiritual power, she could only read less than one-fifth of the information.

And this information could only be considered the most peripheral in the layered memories, with the lowest importance.

It was imaginable that Ye Xingyan had long been guarding against a day like this, guarding against Spiritual Ability Users like her.

Huang Ying saw Ji Ning pursing her lips, looking at Ye Xingyan on the ground, her pupils terrifyingly deep, and the fear in her heart did not dissipate.

Until she heard Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong knocking on the door from outside.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Sister Ning, Sister Ning..."

Ji Ning’s aura instantly weakened by three parts, and the darkness in her eyes cleared up a bit.

Huang Ying sighed in relief, feeling like she had finally come back to life.

She moved her legs, which had tightened to stiffness, and heard Ji Ning say, "Send them away."

Huang Ying hurriedly endured the numbness in her legs, rushing to the door to open it.

As the door opened, Huang Ying’s stern face appeared before Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong.

The two exclaimed, "Instructor Huang? When did you get here?"

"Do you need something?"

Bai Xiaotang reflexively shrank his neck, reflexively showing a flattering smile, tugging at Ye Tong’s arm.

Ye Tong was actually also somewhat afraid of Huang Ying, bracing herself to push the travel suitcase in her hand forward.

"Um, Sister Ning’s luggage."

"Hmm." Huang Ying lowered her head to take the suitcase, then stepped back, closing the door immediately.

She moved so quickly that the two couldn’t see the situation inside the room.

Huang Ying faced the door and exhaled deeply.

At this moment, the aura around Ji Ning had dispersed by half again, yet it still remained terrifying.

If Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong had seen it, they certainly would have been scared.

Huang Ying turned around, dragging the suitcase to an empty spot, continuing to act quietly as a background.

Ji Ning was already sitting on the bed, looking at a certain place, deep in thought.

Ye Xingyan on the ground had regained a bit of strength, and was carefully curling up, trying to move farther away from Ji Ning.

After a long silence in the room, Ji Ning finally spoke, "What kind of in-depth cooperation are you talking about?"

Ye Xingyan’s body paused, deeply regretting his previous invitation.

Pondering how to muddle through, he again heard Ji Ning’s cold voice, "Does it relate to the brain development you mentioned?"

Ye Xingyan felt his scalp tingle, not daring to think further, and honestly replied, "Yes, according to our in-depth exploration of the Pollution Zone, we found that the closer to area 318217, the higher the content of a certain unknown substance in the soil. This substance can influence human genetic mutations, revitalizing the structure of human cells, especially allowing brain cells, which no longer divide in adults, to continue dividing, promoting brain re-development..."

His weak voice slowly trailed off, making Huang Ying, still acting as a background, restless.

If she hadn’t encountered Ji Ning, she might have been beguiled by Ye Xingyan’s research findings, voluntarily joining his laboratory.

Ji Ning glanced at the emotionally stirred Huang Ying, inwardly admiring Ye Xingyan’s cleverness.

Though Ye Xingyan’s experimental methods were quite aggressive, his research findings were undeniably astonishing.

The CH3 anti-aging special medicine in Ye Xingming’s hand was one of his research achievements.

But after Ye Xingyan was wanted, CH3 ended up in Ye Xingming’s hands.

"What’s your relationship with the Ji Family Army?"

Ye Xingyan’s defeated gaze brightened slightly at these three words, looking at Ji Ning, "I’m a member of the Ji Family Army, a specially hired researcher by them. Our purpose is to await the Commander’s return, to uphold the Commander’s rights..."

"Ha..." A soft laugh interrupted Ye Xingyan’s voice and delusions.

"Forsaking the equality of life for one’s own gain, can also be called the Ji Family Army? At least, in the tumultuous times, she absolutely did not want to establish such an unrighteous organization!"

Ye Xingyan swallowed in fear, seeing anger and killing intent in Ji Ning’s eyes.

"Now contact the Ji Family Army high command, I want to see which bastard dared to smear my reputation!"

Ji Ning’s domineering voice made Huang Ying perk up, while Ye Xingyan trembled all over.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Huge thunder accompanied by lightning seemed to split open the sky.

In a valley, perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, was a secretly constructed base.

At this moment, an off-road vehicle was recklessly speeding into the valley.

The occasional silver serpents striking the ground couldn’t deter those in the car.

But as the vehicle reached the valley entrance, the lightning surrounding the car seemed to suddenly vanish.

Even the dark sky brightened considerably.

This spectacle allowed those inside the car to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the car was halted by the valley’s security system.

Those inside quickly presented their documents and scanned their faces.

Then, a mechanical system voice sounded: "Reason for visit?"

Those inside promptly responded, "S-Class communication information from the laboratory."

After a few minutes, the mechanical system replied, "Permission granted to enter."

With a "ding," the red barrier in front of the car disappeared.

The occupants of the car quickly stepped on the gas and drove inside.
