Chapter 132 Miao Yin's Mental World
"Is it that lively?"
At the top of the stairs, Miao Yin walked out with her arms crossed, marveling at the people lying haphazardly on the ground.
She stepped over the corpses of the group of people who had just been killed by Tu Hao and slowly walked into the center.
"It's you? You dare to come down here? You bitch, you actually lied to us?!" Kou Xin shouted angrily.
"Liar? Me? Hmm... I don't remember that at all," Miao Yin said in confusion.
Seeing the other person's calm and composed demeanor, Kou Xin felt an urge of disgust that made her teeth itch.
She sneered and said, "I've taken all your men down there. Do you know what's down there? They're dead. No one's coming to save you!"
"I don't know. Why don't you give me a spoiler? What's next?"
"What are you so arrogant about? Think I'm bluffing you? Ha! Let me tell you, what's down there is—"
"No, no, no—" Miao Yin put her index finger to her lips, interrupting her, and waved her hand, saying, "I suddenly feel that you shouldn't tell me. It reduces the fun of the unknown, which makes it less interesting."
She cupped her face in her hands, her phoenix eyes crinkling with laughter: "The fun is in uncovering the mystery layer by layer."
"...Fun?"
Kou Xin paused for a moment, then said in a surprised tone.
Looking at the other person's strange and illogical behavior, a chill suddenly ran down her spine, cooling down her brain which was overwhelmed by emotions.
The woman before her, both in demeanor and tone, was completely different from any she had ever seen before.
When they first met, although she acted like the backbone of the team and did all the talking, she didn't seem to have any special abilities. Her combat skills weren't high either, and she answered whatever they asked. Apart from her appearance, they didn't find any other special characteristics of her.
What probably gets most of the team to listen to her is her face and her silver tongue.
He was just an ordinary and simple survivor who was slightly better looking.
But now, things are completely different.
The entire sixth floor was a mess; apart from the two of them, everyone else lay on the ground, their fate unknown.
Zhang Wenshi died a particularly gruesome death; his skull was shattered, his head was split open, and blood spread across the floor tiles, a sight that would make anyone nauseous.
Her female teammate with superpowers is nowhere to be found, and her several powerful male teammates have all entered the secret passage; their fates are currently unknown.
If it were a normal person, they would have been terrified and panicked by now. Some might even have knelt down and begged for mercy to save their lives.
But what about her?
—No, nothing works.
She was like a passerby who saw a child stepping on ants in a courtyard, who went closer to take a closer look, and then exclaimed in amazement at the ants' rotten corpses.
Wow, so cruel at such a young age.
While saying this, there was no hint of blame in her tone; in fact, there was a hint of anticipation, wondering if the child would step on the praying mantis next.
This is too bizarre... This is all too bizarre...
She had been lying to them from the very beginning.
Kou Xin herself was a fraudster. In the black market, she had seen all kinds of people: devastated and desperate victims, gangsters who were crazy for money, and mentally ill people who took pleasure in creating disabilities.
Miao Yin's expression suddenly reminded her of the cramped, blood-smelling black room before the apocalypse, where those madmen selling organs sat next to corpses counting their money!
……
No, none of that matters!
Kou Xin bit her lower lip to calm her somewhat flustered emotions.
She is a rare psychic ability user. No matter if this woman is pretending or how many tricks she has, none of that matters in the face of absolute power!
No one can control themselves beyond their own mind. Once they lose the ability to act, no matter who they are, they will become a paper tiger in front of her!
"What are you thinking about?" Miao Yin's clear voice rang out, echoing ethereally in the empty sixth floor.
"I'm thinking...killing you!!!"
Kou Xin suddenly looked up, unleashing his mental powers!
She unleashed her power to its fullest extent, her unseen supernatural abilities transforming into threads that invaded Miao Yin's mental world, turning into sharp, poisonous needles that tore open all the unknown secrets.
She wanted to destroy her entire mental world, turn her into a complete madwoman, and make her crawl on the ground like a dog!
Just imagining that scene made Kou Xin's lips curl into an excited smile.
Meanwhile, the attacked Miao Yin stood there quietly.
After feeling a slight stinging sensation from some kind of force, she looked up.
The cold white light of the incandescent bulb shone behind her, blurring the boundaries of her slender figure, making them seem to merge into one. Her pupils, churning with the turmoil of an unfathomable sea, were like two black holes in the deepest part of the universe, staring directly at Kou Xin—
"..."
"..."
—What are these...?
Kou Xin's smile froze, and the flush of excitement instantly faded.
Her pupils dilated suddenly, her whole body trembled, her pale lips quivered, and even her jaw began to chatter.
"Ah……"
Miao Yin let out a light, teasing laugh.
Kou Xin's superpower is essentially to enter someone else's mental world and pull out all their painful and desperate memories at once, causing them to experience auditory and visual hallucinations and eventually break down.
Some people with weak minds may even become mentally challenged and turn into idiots.
However, due to her low level of superpower and the fact that she had not specifically trained herself, she would occasionally sense the other party's mental world during the process of using it, and even be affected by the memories and emotions within it.
Therefore, the moment her superpower was activated, she was drawn into Miao Yin's mental world.
Upon entering, she found herself immersed in a vast, dark sea.
Gravity went out of control under the waves, and Kou Xin was submerged in the black water before she could even scream.
The surging waves swept up her tiny human body, lifting her up and extinguishing her again and again. The survival instinct of the creature roared wildly, and Kou Xin struggled helplessly, her limbs flailing, endlessly cycling between suffocation and gasping for breath.
"Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!"
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a thunderclap cleaved through the murky air, and crimson light squeezed down from the churning dark clouds, piercing through the gray dust and dancing on the black sea. The eerie red light shone out countless circular suction cups.
Kou Xin then realized that this was not the ocean at all, but the countless black tentacles of some giant creature, and the churning water was the mucus expelled from its suckers!
The tentacles waved erratically, and the unseen giant creature twisted its body in the darkness, its anemone-like suckers contracting and expanding, suddenly bursting forth with a pile of flesh and bones!
The flattened head floated past her, and Kou Xin stared wide-eyed, letting out a piercing scream!
Even though she was just "watching," the terrifying silence, mixed with a strong smell of blood, flooded her nostrils and squeezed into her internal organs through her trachea.
"vomit--"
Kou Xin covered her mouth and vomited.
She vomited violently, her whole body convulsing, but she couldn't vomit anything out of her mind.
The Black Sea was still churning. The giant object slammed into the sky, and the deafening roar pierced through the eardrums. Kou Xin felt like an ant in a waterfall, being swept along by the fierce current, powerless to resist.
She was slammed hard onto a rough, hard object, the sound of bones cracking echoed in her head, and a sweet, metallic liquid burst out like a pomegranate.
Gravity completely disappeared here; she was like a sticker stuck to the wall, neither falling nor moving, simply melting into this hard object.
Unable to distinguish between heaven and earth, they lost their direction.
The red light was still flashing, and eerie, ethereal chanting came from all directions, while an unseen behemoth writhed and twisted.
Then, from who knows where, hundreds of voices appeared, a mixture of whispers from men, women, and children, mingling together to produce loud laughter that was like a form of mental pollution, giving one a splitting headache.
The ethereal chanting grew louder and louder, black flames ignited, and rotten wood blossomed.
The enormous creature struggled frantically, and suddenly, a jade-like arm tore through the slippery mucous membrane. The arm was unbelievably large, with sharp nails that spread out in the air.
A humanoid creature was tearing and biting as it emerged from the giant's body!
Its upper body was completely exposed, while its lower body was still trapped in the tentacles. Its delicate face and curves vaguely resembled a woman. Black sludge clung to its body and slid off with its movements!
The moment the humanoid creature appeared, soft Sanskrit chants suddenly rang out from the horizon, as if a deity or Buddha was holding prayer beads and praying for the suffering people of the world.
A sudden burst of red light spread out completely, illuminating everything grotesque. Red and black epiphyllum flowers bloomed all over the corpse of the giant creature, and the chanting of Sanskrit grew ever louder, resounding through the heavens.
The demon, resembling a woman, dug a porcelain bottle out of the black mud, held it in its palm, and made a flower-picking gesture with its right hand, just like the compassionate Guanyin in a temple.
Its enormous head silently pressed against Kou Xin, opened its eyelids, and revealed two large, dark holes.
"Haha ...
It grinned, its torn skin extending all the way to its ears, and its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, revealed a dark throat.
A colossal object, Sanskrit chants, mantras, the maniacal laughter of millions of voices, and countless red-hot silver needles piercing the brain!
Kou Xin's only remaining eye was wide open, and he saw everything.
—So, it's always been this.
……
In the real world, Kou Xin knelt on the ground, head tilted back, exhausted, her fingers gripping her neck so tightly that her nails dug into her skin.
She couldn't breathe, her face turned purplish-red, the whites of her eyes rolled back, blood flowed from half her face, and her flattened vocal cords emitted a wheezing sound as if her trachea was being choked.
Suddenly, her body trembled violently, bent over, and her head slammed hard against the ground.
"Oh!"
The floorboards made a dull thud.
Kou Xin remained motionless in that position, as if frozen in place.
Miao Yin walked over and kicked her with her toe. She fell to the ground, her forehead covered in blood and flesh, her mouth wide open. She was dead.
It's unclear whether he died from hitting his head, strangling himself, or from exhaustion of his supernatural abilities.
“I didn’t do it this time,” Miao Yin sighed.
"So, what exactly did you see in my mental world?"
