Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

“Maybe…” I forced a smile, “but I always feel…” Before I could finish speaking, Rin’s expression changed drastically, and she abruptly pulled me behind her.

"Watch out!" he growled.

Almost simultaneously, a sharp gunshot shattered the silence of the night, and shards of glass flew, whistling past my ears.

My heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

Rin shielded me behind her, her gaze sharp as a hawk's, vigilantly scanning the outside of the window.

The night wind blew in, carrying a faint smell of blood.

“It seems we underestimated the Black-Robed Elder…” His voice was icy, like a blade chilled to the bone. “He’s more insane than we imagined…” Rin grabbed my hand and, without hesitation, ran to the other side of the room.

My arm is burning with pain; the spot where the bullet grazed must have been cut by shards of glass.

"We must leave here!" Rin's voice was firm and powerful, bringing me a sliver of comfort.

"Bang!" Another shot rang out, and this time, the bullet struck my arm precisely.

A sharp pain instantly swept through my body, and I couldn't help but groan. My vision went black for a moment.

"Miao Qing!" Lin's voice was full of worry. He supported me and continued running towards the door.

Blood flowed down my arm, staining my sleeve red.

"Quick! They're here!" A dark figure flashed past the window, followed by a series of hurried footsteps approaching from afar, pounding on my eardrums like a death knell.

Rin's expression grew even more serious. He pulled me along and slipped into a narrow passage.

The passageway was filled with a damp, musty smell, and the cramped space made people feel suffocated.

“We have to think of something…” Before Rin could finish speaking, several dark figures appeared at the other end of the passage. They were agile and quick, clearly well-trained assassins.

We are surrounded.

I took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in my heart, and my brain raced, searching for a way to escape.

Rin's hand gripped mine tightly, and I could feel the warmth and strength in his palm.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said softly, his tone reassuring. “I won’t let them hurt you.”

"I know." My voice trembled slightly, but my tone was unusually firm.

I took out a talisman I had prepared beforehand from my pocket and handed it to Rin.

“This is…” Rin looked at me in confusion.

“A formation-breaking talisman,” I explained, “might help us…” Before I could finish speaking, the assassins from the other end of the passage were already closing in.

Rin's eyes sharpened. She carefully put away the talisman, then suddenly pushed me behind her and whispered, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he dashed off like an arrow released from a bow...

Rin moved with lightning speed through the narrow passage, her fists and feet flying through the air, carrying a sharp killing intent.

Every attack was precise, ruthless, and decisive.

I could hear the muffled cracking of bones and the killers' painful groans.

Although I was hiding behind Rin, I wasn't idle.

I took out several specially made silver needles from my spatial storage, aimed them at the assassin's pressure points, and shot them out at lightning speed.

The silver needles are as thin as cow hair, yet they carry a deadly poison; once they hit the target, the victim will either die or be seriously injured.

Rin's combat skills were beyond my imagination. He was like a ferocious beast, moving with ease in confined spaces.

Every dodge was perfectly timed, and every attack was powerful and heavy.

Although the assassins were well-trained, they were no match for Rin.

They suffered defeat after defeat, and eventually fell to the ground one by one.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, which made me feel nauseous.

I covered my nose and looked at Rin's figure, my heart filled with admiration and gratitude.

He is like a mountain, sheltering me from the wind and rain and protecting my safety.

"It's over." Rin's voice was deep and powerful, tinged with weariness.

I stepped out from behind him and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, feeling a mix of emotions.

Although we won the battle, we paid a price.

My arm was still bleeding, and Rin was covered in blood.

Rin walked up to me and gently pulled me into her arms.

His embrace was warm and strong, making me feel incredibly safe.

I leaned against him, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the fear and unease in my heart gradually dissipated.

"It's alright, it's all over." Rin's voice rang in my ears, carrying a hint of gentleness.

I looked up at his face; his eyes were deep and gentle, as if they could see right through me.

I reached out and gently stroked his cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin.

“Rin…” My voice choked with emotion, my heart filled with gratitude.

"Hmm?" Rin looked down at me.

"Thank you," I said softly.

Rin smiled and lowered her head to kiss my forehead.

"Silly girl, why are you thanking me?" His voice was gentle and indulgent.

I nestled in his arms, feeling his warmth, and my heart was filled with happiness.

Suddenly, Rin's expression changed. He shoved me away and looked warily toward the entrance to the passage.

“Someone’s coming…” His voice was low and solemn.

I followed his gaze and saw a dark figure slowly walking in from the entrance of the passage.

The shadowy figure was tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura.

“The black-robed elder…” My heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.

Rin's eyes were as cold as knives. He shielded me behind him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I clenched my fists, my heart filled with unease.

I know that an even fiercer battle is about to begin...

"It seems you are more troublesome than I imagined..." The black-robed elder's voice was hoarse and gloomy, with a hint of mockery.

Rin didn't speak, but stared intently at the black-robed elder, who slowly took out the array-breaking talisman from his pocket...

Lin held the array-breaking talisman in her hand. The talisman moved on its own without wind, emitting a slight buzzing sound, and a strange energy fluctuation filled the air.

The black-robed elder's expression changed slightly, and I felt that Lin's aura suddenly intensified, like a sharp sword about to be drawn.

"You think you can do anything to me with just a tattered talisman?" The black-robed elder sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Rin didn't answer, but instead threw the formation-breaking talisman into the air.

The talismans spun and danced in the air, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire passage.

The light faded, and the talisman turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.

Just then, the walls of the passage began to shake violently, and stones fell from above, creating a deafening roar.

The black-robed elder's expression changed drastically.

"What's going on?" he exclaimed, losing his balance and nearly falling.

Rin ignored him and instead grabbed my hand, running towards the exit of the passage.

I know that the formation-breaking talisman has taken effect, and the hidden stronghold of this ancient force is about to collapse.

"No! This is impossible!" The black-robed elder's voice was filled with despair. He wanted to stop us, but it was too late.

As the exit of the passage drew closer, I saw the light outside and my heart was filled with hope.

Just as we were about to rush out of the passage, a huge boulder fell from above, blocking our way.

Rin reacted extremely quickly; he shoved me aside and stood in front of me to block me.

The stone slammed heavily onto him with a dull thud.

"Rin!" I exclaimed, trying to rush over, but Rin grabbed me.

"Go quickly!" His voice was weak and feeble, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

I ran out of the passage and found myself in a wide-open space.

I looked back and saw that the entrance to the passage had been buried under rubble, and I could no longer see Rin's figure.

“Rin…” My voice choked, and tears blurred my vision.

Suddenly, a voice rang in my ear: "Don't worry, he's still alive."

I turned around abruptly and saw a man dressed in black standing behind me.

He wore a black mask, obscuring his features, but his voice sounded strangely familiar to me.

"Who are you?" I asked warily.

The man in black did not answer, but simply pointed into the distance.

I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a figure slowly walking towards me.

"Rin!" I exclaimed in surprise and ran towards the figure.

“Miao Qing…” Lin’s voice was weak, but it carried a hint of a smile.

I ran to Rin and hugged him tightly.

"You're alright, that's great..." My voice trembled, and tears streamed down my face.

Rin gently stroked my hair.

"I'm fine..."

The man in black walked up to us and took off his mask.

"Long time no see, Miao Qing."

My pupils contracted sharply, and my heart was filled with shock.

"It's you……"

My mind went blank as I stared in shock at the familiar man before me—it was Lin Xiao!

He didn't die, and he reappeared in such a mysterious way.

The moment he took off his mask, I felt like I'd been struck by lightning, and a flood of memories came rushing back.

“Lin Xiao…you…” My voice trembled slightly as I looked at him in disbelief.

The man I once misunderstood and abandoned is still alive, and he even saved me?

This world is crazy.

"Isn't that surprising?" A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he looked at me with a complicated expression. "I've been keeping an eye on you from the shadows, Miao Qing."

His appearance shocked me, but now is not the time for reminiscing.

"Lin Xiao, why are you here?" I forced myself to calm down and turned my gaze to Lin beside me.

His face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had just been hit hard.

"We'll talk about my past later," Lin Xiao said, seemingly unwilling to dwell on it. "Right now, the most important thing is that you've finally exposed the conspiracy of those black-robed men. They tried to steal your space and that inherited power—what a pipe dream!"

I looked at Lin Xiao. He seemed to know a lot about the space, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. Could it be that he was also...?

Lin, panting, grabbed my shoulder.

“We’ve dealt with this group of people and obtained the evidence. The ancient force behind them has finally been exposed.”

I nodded, my heart filled with joy.

We have finally won this battle.

This not only cleared our name but also completely extricated the company from its predicament.

We became heroes in the world of superpowered individuals, and were revered by all.

“But you must be careful.” Lin Xiao’s tone became serious. “This group’s ambitions are definitely not limited to this. They have been lying in wait for many years and must have other tricks up their sleeves.”

“We know.” I gripped Rin’s hand tightly, my eyes resolute. “Whatever their schemes, we will not let them succeed.”

Just then, Rin's personal cell phone rang; it was a call from the Superpower Alliance.

During the phone call, the alliance extended an invitation to us for the Superpower Competition.

This sudden invitation caught me off guard.

"It seems they want to test our strength." Rin hung up the phone, his eyes deep.

"A superpower competition?" I frowned with some concern. "Are we in a suitable situation to participate in the competition?"

“Perhaps this is exactly what they want to see.” Lin Xiao’s tone carried a hint of warning. “You are now in the eye of the storm and must improve your strength as soon as possible.”

I nodded, my heart filled with a sense of crisis.

Although we thwarted the conspiracy of the ancient forces, cleared our name, restored the company to normal operation, and even became heroes in the world of superpowers, achieving a great victory, the problem of my soul contract remains unresolved, which has become a hidden danger on our path forward.

Moreover, Lin Xiao's appearance seems to foreshadow future changes.

It seems we still have a long way to go.

It seems I have to participate in the Superpower Competition, not for anything else, but simply to make myself stronger!
