It was late at night when Su Junxin woke up.

Only a small warm orange light was on in the ward, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which was very reassuring.

She stared at the ceiling for a while, her consciousness finally returned to her body completely, and she turned her eyes for a moment.

Qin You put his arms on the edge of the hospital bed, with his head resting on his arms, tilted to her side, his eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that he was not sleeping securely.

He seemed to have a sharp heart, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Su Junxin waking up, his calm face was like a lake suddenly rippling, and a brilliant smile burst out, "Junxin! How do you feel now?"

Su Junxin was infected by his smile, and couldn't help but lifted the corners of her lips, nodded gently, "Fortunately, just a little hungry."

Her advanced ability consumes a lot of body energy, and she hasn't eaten for more than ten hours, and now her belly is about to sing the empty city plan.

"Then I'm going to warm up your meal, do you have something you want to eat?"

"Wait a minute!" Su Junxin hurriedly called him, "Don't worry about this, how is Zhang Ziang's situation?"

"Don't worry, he is collapsed, he woke up earlier than you, and he is probably sleeping again now."

The big stone in her heart fell, and she was relieved, "That's good..."

Qin You soon went to warm up her food and came back. Su Junxin ate a whole chicken before she was finally full, and leaned on the bedside contentedly.

Suddenly remembering something, she turned to look at him and asked, "By the way, Qin You, how did you find me?"

Qin You was peeling grapes for her, his white fingertips were stained with some sweet and greasy sap, which looked like warm jade soaked in water under the light.

He paused when he heard the words, his eyelashes drooped, and he said in a low voice: "You didn't come to school today, and you didn't answer the phone. I was worried that something happened to you, so I asked for leave to find you... and ended up at your house. Blood stains were found in the flowers."

Su Junxin blinked, surprised and confused, "Blood?"

She remembered that neither Zhang Ziang nor herself was traumatized at that time. Where could there be blood stains? Could it be that there is confusion in your memory?

Before she could continue to ask, he handed a grape to her lips, "The police arrived at the scene afterwards. After investigation, it was found that your disappearance was very similar to the dozens of disappearance cases in China in the past two years. The murderer in these cases is called Sayyid, a professional assassin who absconded from overseas to our country. Although he has been identified for a long time, he has been at large for various reasons. This time his death has ended countless family sufferings."

Su Junxin chewed the grape pulp, and dropped her eyes thoughtfully after hearing this.

Two years...a dozen missing cases...

For a time, countless questions popped up in her mind: What is the relationship between that masked man Said and NEWWORLD? Why would he know that he is a superpower? And what are the fluids that cause you to lose the ability to move? How many people are hiding in the dark waiting for opportunities...

"Junxin? What's wrong with you?"

Qin You's voice recalled her who was distracted to reality.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

He took something out of his pocket and handed it over, "I found this in your pants pocket. You may need it."

Su Junxin took it subconsciously, looking down at this small key, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Three thirty in the morning is the quietest moment in the entire city.

In a ward on the fourth floor, there was a sound of deliberately lightening the clothes, and then the window was pushed open, and a slender figure covered in black jumped down and fell into the bushes.

The patrolling security guard happened to be passing by, and heard an abnormal noise, lighting up the flashlight.

"Who is there?"

The bushes shook lightly, and a soft cat cry came out.

"It turned out to be a wild cat..." the security guard murmured, his voice drifting away.

Su Junxin poked out her head quietly, and after confirming that there was no one around, she quickly disappeared into the night.

After a while, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Qin You stepped forward, only glanced at the human-shaped pillows piled up inside the quilt, and then covered the quilt back without any disturbance.

There were footsteps in the corridor and stopped beside him.

Su Tingbai raised his eyes and quickly scanned the entire ward. When he saw the opened window, he knew clearly.

She raised her wrist and passed a white butterfly mask over, "If you are worried about her, go with her."

Qin You's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was silent for a moment, pushed the mask back, put on the black hood of the sweater, and turned and jumped out of the window.

Half a quarter of an hour later, in front of the gate of an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Nancheng, a figure quietly walked out of the darkness.

This place seems to have experienced a strong earthquake not long ago. The whole building is slightly slanted to the right like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, with large and small debris all over the ground, and even the gate seems to be unsupported and will collapse.

Su Junxin raised her hand to remove the seals on both sides and looked inward.

Xiaoyou stood on her left shoulder, holding a flashlight tightly with her two front paws, and moving the light source with her gaze.

The entire interior of the building was not seriously damaged, but even though it was so far away, one could still smell the unpleasant stench in the blood pool.

It lifted its nose and sniffed in the air, vomiting with disgust.

When Su Junxin was conspired by Sayyid at the door of his house before, Xiaoyou accidentally got in that strange liquid, and it didn't take long for him to wake up now.

Su Junxin rubbed its head, pulled the black mask upwards, and walked in with light steps.

The building was damaged, and all the mechanisms of the maze were ineffective. She returned to the blood pool smoothly along the route she remembered.

The human blood in the blood pool has all been drained and sent for inspection, leaving only a thick and dark plasma at the bottom of the pool.

She jumped to the bottom of the pool, and was about to step on the plasma to go to the opposite side. Yu Guang inadvertently glanced at a little thing exuding brilliance in the corner and stopped.

Stepping forward, she bent down and pulled it out of the thick plasma with gloves, and looked closely at it.

Soon she recognized it-it was a fragment of a zombie core.

Su Junxin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled in her mind the picture of herself standing in a pool of blood more than ten hours ago——

She only remembered that she suddenly lost consciousness for a moment, and a dim white light flashed in front of her eyes. Several people with invisible faces dangled in front of her, making her head dizzy. But right after that, she felt full of energy all over, and even stepped into the stage in an instant.

Su Junxin suddenly remembered something, raised her hand to touch her neck, and pulled a pocket watch out of her clothes.

She found this pocket watch in the basement. It seems to be the relic of the original owner's father, but the dial and movement inside have all been lost, leaving only an empty case.

The zombie nucleus she put inside was gone.

Could it be that the white light...was from the zombie nucleus? But the zombie core obviously only reacts when the ability person actively uses it, how could it automatically take effect? Moreover, once used, the zombie core will immediately turn gray and become an invalid spar. Why does this fragment still glow?

What exactly is it?

Su Junxin looked at the zombie core fragments in her left hand and the empty pocket watch in her right hand, surprised and confused.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a small noise, like the sound of someone slowly dragging a table and chair.

The little right ear was pointed, and naturally he heard it. The hair on its whole body instantly exploded, and it raised its claw and pointed it upstairs.

Su Junxin narrowed her eyes, put away the fragments and pocket watch, and quickly moved her figure to the second floor.

If the first floor is still visible, then the situation on the second floor can be described as "horrible".

The doors of all the rooms were violently exploded. The walls were full of traces of explosions and flames. There were also stains left by the fire extinguishers everywhere on the ground. The objects were no longer in their original appearance.

She turned off the flashlight, pressed Xiaoyou's head and stuffed it into her pocket, and tiptoedly approached the innermost monitoring room.

Pushing the door abruptly, she was ready to attack, but there was no one inside.

There was only one little mouse frightened by the movement, squeaking and hiding in the darkness, shaking his mustache in fear.

Xiao You quietly poked half of his head out of his pocket, and looked around with her ears shrunk. After seeing this, she immediately became bolder, and rushed to Su Junxin's shoulder.

Su Junxin also breathed a sigh of relief, retracted the thunder and lightning brewing in her palm, and scratched its chin comfortingly.

"It's okay, it should just be blown by the wind..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt her foot tripped over something, and looked down.

A wooden box was placed on the ground and the lid closed tightly.
