From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

The challenge letter, written in a flamboyant and arrogant style, was like a blood-stained dagger piercing straight into people's hearts.

"Insolent ants, how dare you obstruct our plans? Prepare for destruction!" Below, the black skull mark seemed to be grinning maliciously, mocking their ignorance.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's expressions turned serious. The provocative tone, the arrogant attitude, the mysterious symbol...

All of this indicates that this is going to be a tough battle.

“Heh,” Bi Yao sneered, but her eyes blazed with fierce determination. “They really think highly of us.” Jiang Ruiyuan gripped her hand tightly and said firmly, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll meet force with force.” The air in the room seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere was about to explode.

They knew that caution was the only rule for survival when facing this unknown enemy.

In the early stages of the investigation, everything seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.

All the clues seemed to have been erased by an eraser, disappearing without a trace.

Check the surveillance footage?

A snowflake.

Ask the witnesses?

Got nothing.

"This is too outrageous! There isn't a single clue!" Bi Yao scratched her hair in frustration, feeling like she was playing a puzzle game on hell difficulty and was stuck.

Jiang Ruiyuan's brows furrowed tightly; this feeling of utter confusion made him feel more depressed than ever before.

"The other side was clearly well-prepared, and their strength should not be underestimated." Repeated setbacks left them feeling powerless, and a sense of helplessness quietly crept into their hearts.

"Could it be... that we are really helpless?" Bi Yao murmured softly, her tone revealing a hint of weariness that was hard to conceal.

Jiang Ruiyuan remained silent for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

“Wait, I think I’ve thought of something…” He walked to the table, picked up a map, and stopped his fingertip on an inconspicuous little dot.

"Perhaps... we can start from here..."

Jiang Ruiyuan's gaze was fixed on an inconspicuous little red dot on the map—an abandoned mental hospital on the outskirts of the city.

"Although the Skull and Bones symbol is mysterious, their movements have one thing in common: they are close to places like mental hospitals. They seem to be very sensitive to mental energy or some kind of special energy fluctuations."

He excitedly raised his head, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement.

"Yaoyao, I think we've found a breakthrough!" Bi Yao's previously somewhat dejected mood was instantly ignited, and her eyes sparkled with surprise.

"Really? That's wonderful! Ruiyuan, you're amazing!" She made no attempt to hide her admiration for Jiang Ruiyuan, her eyes seemingly filled with stars.

This man is simply her lucky star!

Meanwhile, the Skull and Bones members, hidden in the shadows, were in complete chaos.

"What?! They actually found out?! This is impossible! We made sure it was flawless!" "Damn it! Something must have gone wrong! We have to stop them immediately!" They, who were originally confident of victory, were now like ants on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around in circles.

The abandoned mental hospital was eerie and terrifying, with a rotten smell permeating the air.

A tall figure wearing a black cloak and a mask suddenly appeared, blocking Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's path.

He exuded a chilling murderous aura, like a messenger from hell.

"You shouldn't have come here." The deep voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

“Heh, we’re going to do it anyway.” Bi Yao met his gaze without fear, her tone full of provocation.

一场恶战一触即发。

The man in black was agile and each move was deadly.

Although Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan joined forces, they still found it somewhat difficult.

The surrounding walls and ground were destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, with debris flying everywhere and dust billowing, making the whole scene look like the end of the world.

"Yao Yao, be careful!" Jiang Ruiyuan pushed Bi Yao aside, but was hit by the attack from the man in black and staggered back a few steps.

"Ruiyuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

The man in black pressed closer, his sharp blade gleaming coldly, aimed directly at Bi Yao's throat.

"go to hell!"

就在这千钧一发的时刻……

A strange light flashed in Bi Yao's eyes...

"you……"

Just as the black-clad man's blade was about to pierce Bi Yao's throat, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and a strange red light flashed in her eyes.

The moment the blade touched her skin, a powerful force suddenly erupted, sending the man in black flying!

"That's it?" Bi Yao patted off non-existent dust from her body and smiled dismissively.

Just now, at the critical moment, Bi Yao's special physique activated again, absorbing some of the energy contained in the black-clad man's attack. This not only resolved the crisis but also replenished her own strength, causing her to instantly increase her power!

"What?!" The man in black stared wide-eyed in disbelief, clearly feeling his power being absorbed by the other party!

How can this be?

!

“你……你到底是什么怪物？！”

Ignoring his shock, Bi Yao flashed and appeared in front of the man in black like a ghost.

She was incredibly fast; the man in black couldn't react at all and could only passively take the beating.

"Bang!" "Smack!" "Bang!"

They exchanged blows, each one landing with a brutal, visceral impact!

Bi Yao's attacks were like a storm, each strike containing immense power, leaving the man in black utterly helpless.

Jiang Ruiyuan, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Was this still the Bi Yao he knew?

They're practically human weapons!

He clenched his fist excitedly, cheering for Bi Yao: "Yao Yao, go for it! Beat them to a pulp!"

The man in black was beaten black and blue, retreating step by step, his heart filled with fear.

He never imagined that he would fall for a woman!

"Withdraw!" he roared in frustration, turning to flee.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Bi Yao sneered, blocking his path in a flash. "Today, you're not going anywhere!"

In the end, the man in black was completely defeated by the combined attack of Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

"Tell me! Where is your hideout?" Bi Yao grabbed the man in black by the collar and demanded sharply.

The man in black's eyes flickered, but he refused to speak.

"You won't talk? Then don't blame me for being impolite!" A cold glint flashed in Bi Yao's eyes, and she was about to teach him a lesson when the man in black suddenly pointed in a direction with terror, "There... in the abandoned factory in the west of the city..."

Having obtained the clue, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan immediately rushed to the abandoned factory in the west of the city.

The dilapidated factory gates were tightly shut, and the surroundings were eerily silent, as if a great danger was lurking beneath the surface.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Be careful, this might be a trap," Jiang Ruiyuan said in a low voice.

Bi Yao nodded, gripped her weapon tightly, and carefully pushed open the factory gate...

"Squeak-"

The rusty door slowly opened, and a chilling aura rushed out...
