Chapter 144 Recounting Experiences
Ling sat on the ground and slowly told them what had just happened.
"Not long after you left, a group of people from the tenth floor, led by Su Yongfeng, came to find me. The one named Qu Biao was dragging Zhang Leshan, who had led us there, and another seriously injured man. Both of them were still unconscious. I saw that the wounds were from Lei Ji."
"They said that the surveillance cameras downstairs were destroyed by Ji Yuanzhou's lightning, so they couldn't see what happened. When they went down, most of their subordinates were dead, and the superhumans they had been supporting also suffered heavy casualties."
"But what is certain is that you all went into the passage. That Sister Ding said that the people below the office building are all the mutants they are raising, and you will definitely die if you go down. She demanded that I join them to replenish the superhumans who died before, or she would kill me."
"You refused?" Miao Yin asked.
Ling shook her head. "Not really. I asked them what the requirements were for joining, and Su Yongfeng said..."
At this point, Ling's tone became somewhat angry: "He said that the group doesn't keep useless people. If I want to live, I must explain my special abilities clearly, prove my value, and then kill Wenwen to show my loyalty."
"If they knew Wenwen was a healing-type ability user, they'd regret it to death, wouldn't they?" Miao Yin sneered.
"A bunch of self-righteous idiots who think Wenwen is just an ordinary girl. They say they'll kill her and throw her into the passage to nourish the mutants and make them grow crystal cores."
“I was furious, so I started fighting with them. You had mentioned wanting to test Su Yongfeng’s abilities, so I attacked him.”
"That treacherous Su Yongfeng didn't make a move himself, but made Qu Biao take the hits for him. Qu Biao has a physical enhancement ability, but his level is lower than mine, so I took him down in no time."
"But at that moment, he actually used his superpower to flank Wenwen from behind and launch a sneak attack!" Ling's face was as cold as ice.
Yu Wenwen then spoke up, "It looks a lot like that golden guy from before, a big guy wielding an axe. I was in Sister Ling's thorns when it suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slashed at me. It was the little rabbit that saved me..."
The nearly two-meter-tall cube K materialized and appeared behind the unsuspecting Yu Wenwen, raising its battle axe at her.
That one swing of the axe will cut her in two!
In the critical moment, the Nine-Tails Rabbit hidden in Yu Wenwen's pocket jumped out and pounced on the face of the King of Diamonds, hindering its movement.
Yu Wenwen then realized that a killing god was standing behind him, and quickly moved forward to hide.
But it happened so suddenly that even though she reacted immediately, the axe still struck her.
Fortunately, thanks to the Nine-Tails Rabbit's intervention, the King of Spades only left a wound on her back, without damaging the root of the problem. However, the cut was a bit long and very painful.
To protect her, the Nine-Tails Rabbit kept grabbing the King of Diamonds' head and was eventually crushed to death.
Ling then realized that Su Yongfeng's superpower was actually quite bizarre.
She continued, "I was about to strangle Qu Biao when I saw Wenwen was injured, so I quickly pulled her to my side. It was a King of Diamonds, with a very strong aura, even more ferocious than the Jack of Hearts. I thought it was going to be a fierce battle, but for some reason, after it killed the rabbit, it disappeared."
"Then, a King of Hearts appeared. It cut through my thorns with its sword and saved Qu Biao. A graceful and elegant woman suddenly stood behind Su Yongfeng. She looked like a Queen of Diamonds, but she never moved from beginning to end."
“Su Yongfeng is an egomaniac. When he saw how wary I was of protecting Wenwen, he started to boast about himself.”
"He said his special ability is called 'Color Playing Cards,' which can materialize the fourteen characters in a deck of cards."
“Fourteen characters, four Kings, four Queens, four Knights, and two Jokers?” Miao Yin calculated.
Ling nodded: "It should be, but I didn't see the two kings just now."
"The cards he materialized all had different functions. One of them, the Jack of Spades wielding a sword, was actually a phantom, and it was extremely fast. My Thorns couldn't hit it at all. I could only touch it when it attacked me."
The scars on her arm were left by that Jack of Spades.
"You can't beat him?"
Ling thought for a moment and said, "I can't really tell. His superpowers are flashy and complicated. I don't know what the remaining cards are. Unless I go all out and tear the building down, I can't tell who will win. But there's no need for that, and you're all down there."
"Besides, Wenwen was injured, so I didn't plan to continue entangled with him. At that time, he had already materialized eight cards. I scattered two of them and jumped down from the passage you told me about."
"Then there are still six cards left. There was only one Jack of Hearts just now, where are the remaining five?" Miao Yin asked.
At this point, Ling also seemed a little puzzled: "When I jumped down, I used the Snow Thorns as a cushion. Four cards chased after me, but three disappeared midway; only the Jack of Hearts continued to pursue me."
Miao Yin quickly concluded: "This card is out of control."
"out of control?"
"But if they really wanted to hunt you down, those four cards should have kept chasing you. But you said that three cards disappeared on their own without you attacking, which means that Su Yongfeng took them back himself, but left one behind. That doesn't make sense."
“The Jack of Hearts has been attacking the whole time, and it didn’t even try to dodge when I used the Ember Flame, which means that no one is controlling it. So the most likely explanation is that it has gone out of control,” Miao Yin analyzed.
Su Yongfeng's superpower is a typical composite type. Like her, it is slow to level up and difficult to operate. Moreover, it is a card with its own personality that needs to be summoned and driven individually, which requires more mental energy to control it.
When the level is insufficient, loss of control is very common.
"You just said that there was a Queen of Diamonds that never moved from beginning to end?"
"Yes, she stood behind Su Yongfeng the whole time, her hands glowing."
"He wouldn't summon an extra card for no reason and then not use it. If the Queen of Diamonds isn't attacking, then it must be used somewhere else, such as to help Su Yongfeng control other cards and prevent them from getting out of control."
Hearing what Miao Yin said, Ling immediately understood the secret.
"Perhaps the Queen of Diamonds' stabilizing effect has a range. After those cards were chased down, they went out of that range and became difficult to control. So Su Yongfeng immediately took them back, but it was too late. The Jack of Hearts still went out of control."
"That's exactly what I mean," Miao Yin said with satisfaction.
