Downstairs from Wang Ye's apartment, the woman with a Bronze Nail driven into her head stood within the residential area, raising her head to stare silently at Wang Ye's window with hollow eyes.
Blood continuously dripped down from her forehead.
Yet the pedestrians around her seemed completely oblivious.
After a long while,
she withdrew her gaze and walked into Wang Ye's building.
In the silent stairwell, the sound of footsteps echoed without end.
Accompanied by those heavy footsteps, the woman appeared outside Wang Ye's door and stopped.
A flicker of color surfaced in her hollow eyes before quickly fading away. She made no further sound, like a corpse.
Inside the room, Wang Ye sat wearily on the sofa, resting.
Too much had happened in the short span of two weeks, keeping his nerves constantly taut.
He took the Thunder Sound Fruit from his pocket. Looking at the mysterious patterns covering the golden fruit, a glimmer appeared in Wang Ye's eyes.
"Every sacrifice brings rewards."
A satisfied smile tugged at Wang Ye's lips as he gently bit into the Thunder Sound Fruit.
The next second, the Thunder Sound Fruit burst with brilliant golden light, illuminating the entire room.
Outside the door, strands of golden light spilled out and shone over the woman's body. Her numb expression twisted slightly, and a strange gleam surfaced in her eyes.
After several seconds of silence, the woman took two steps back, hiding beyond the golden light and becoming motionless once more.
Inside, Wang Ye felt a warm current flow down his throat.
Unlike the forceful infusion at the Post Office before, this energy was much gentler, continuously flowing through Wang Ye's body.
He could clearly feel that his physical abilities, which had only recently been strengthened, were improving again.
His skin became crystal-clear, emitting a faint golden glow.
After a long while, the golden light gradually faded. Wang Ye closed his eyes and sensed the changes within his body, a smile appearing on his lips.
Compared to before, his physical condition had risen another level.
Clenching his fist, Wang Ye pondered briefly.
Even without using his supernatural ability, he should be able to take on one and a half Yang Chens now.
Every time a supernatural ability awakened, that energy washed over the body once, strengthening it. Yet he had only awakened once, while his body had been reinforced three times.
Wang Ye gradually began looking forward to his next awakening.
Just as Wang Ye could no longer resist his exhaustion and was about to fall asleep, his phone rang.
Wang Ye frowned slightly, feeling helpless when he saw Zhang Ziliang's name.
"Hello, Wang Ye. Come to Headquarters. There's a meeting." Zhang Ziliang's voice was as calm as ever.
Wang Ye sounded tired. "Do I need to attend a Logistics Department meeting? I'm a little tired today."
"It's a Headquarters meeting."
Zhang Ziliang paused for several seconds before saying, "It's about the allocation of slots for forming teams."
Wang Ye let out a soft breath and rubbed his temples. "Wait for me."
After saying that, Wang Ye hung up. He rubbed his face vigorously, shook off his fatigue, tidied up briefly, and opened the door.
The instant the door opened,
Wang Ye snapped fully awake and retreated at incredible speed.
At some point, the Hemp Rope had already wrapped around his hand. The bloodstained Boning Knife was tied between the rope and his palm. Blood-red light glowed from his other hand, and Ghost Face emerged from his palm with a bizarre smile.
Within three seconds, he had revealed every trump card he had.
All because outside his door
stood a woman.
A woman who should have been sealed away.
Back then in Room 404, he had personally driven that nail into her.
Despite Wang Ye's series of movements, the woman seemed unaware of them. She stood there blankly, her eyes hollow, a Bronze Nail driven into her forehead.
Wang Ye stood still, silently confronting the woman.
Sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, but Wang Ye did not dare make the slightest move. His gaze remained fixed on the woman.
Damn it!
How had this woman gotten out!
Why had she come looking for him!
Wang Ye could not help recalling the day he left Qinyuan Residential Area, when the woman had stood at the window and watched him with those venomous eyes.
That bone-chilling sensation remained vivid in Wang Ye's memory.
Time slowly passed. Cold sweat soaked through Wang Ye's clothes, yet the woman remained standing there, keeping his heart suspended.
Confusion gradually appeared in Wang Ye's eyes as he stared hard at the Bronze Nail.
The Bronze Nail was still firmly embedded in the woman's forehead.
"Could she still be sealed?"
"But how did she appear outside my door? By relying on her consciousness?"
Wang Ye gradually formed an answer, but he could not be certain. To be safe, he took out his phone, found Zhou Han's number, and called her.
"Hello, come to my place. Something's up."
Without waiting for Zhou Han to respond, Wang Ye decisively hung up and continued coldly watching the woman.
A few seconds later, the door across the hall flew open, and Zhou Han stormed over. "Wang Ye, what are you doing! Do you think I'm your maid?"
As she spoke, Zhou Han walked up beside the woman.
Wang Ye's pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at the woman.
Only after confirming that the woman showed no reaction did he slowly let out a breath and look at Zhou Han. "I just wanted to introduce you to a new neighbor."
As he spoke, Wang Ye pointed at the woman.
Zhou Han instinctively looked over. Her hair immediately stood on end, and she rapidly retreated until her back hit the wall. Five golden throwing knives danced in the air.
"Wang Ye, damn you!"
"You set me up!"
Zhou Han glared at the woman as she gritted her teeth and cursed furiously.
Five now?
Sure enough, the Prayer Beads had strengthened her telekinesis.
Wang Ye silently analyzed the situation, then put on an innocent expression. "I was just letting you meet the new neighbor and say hello."
As Wang Ye's words fell, the woman actually turned around stiffly, looked at Zhou Han, strangely raised her arm, and waved at her with hollow eyes.
Wang Ye and Zhou Han silently watched the scene, both drawing in cold breaths.
Wang Ye was especially horrified!
He had said to say hello, but he had never expected this woman
to actually obey him!
What terrified Zhou Han was that this woman would actually listen to Wang Ye!
"I-I won't dissect you anymore. Can you make her stop looking at me?" Fear lingered in Zhou Han's eyes as she looked at Wang Ye pitifully.
Wang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Take one step forward and look at me."
As soon as the words fell, the woman actually took a step forward, turned her head, and stared at Wang Ye with hollow eyes.
What was going on!
Wang Ye's expression turned grave as his mind raced.
After a long while, a crazed glint flashed through his eyes.
He knew how powerful this woman was! If he could control her, he would absolutely possess one of Shangjing City's strongest combat forces in the short term.
Though he might have to bear a certain amount of risk,
but...
As long as it was a gamble, Wang Ye had never been afraid.
