Kara-ka...

In less than a second, the special glass, which is harder than steel, shattered instantly.

Instead of falling due to the weight of the glass, the shattered glass was held aloft by the darkness, pointing directly at the guards below.

"Thank you all for your hard work, everyone. Please get some rest."

As Ye Linwan finished speaking, countless shards of glass, like bullets, killed all the armed guards below.

Under the attack of glass shards enveloped in darkness, bulletproof vests and steel shattered instantly, as if made of paper.

Even the four heavy machine guns mounted on the ground were blasted into scrap metal and rendered completely useless.

"Beep--! Alarm! Dangerous personnel have forcibly entered!"

Alarm! Dangerous individuals have attempted to break in!

police..."

The alarm was shattered by a fragment of Ye Linwan's weapon, and then the space next to her distorted, from which Lin Wushuang, Ye Yiqing, and Ye Ciqing emerged.

"Ah~ Wushuang, it's been so long!"

Yiqing, Cici, Mom misses you so much!

Ye Linwan waved and greeted the three of them happily, like a little girl.

Lin Wushuang blushed slightly and smiled at Ye Linwan, "Sister Ye, it's been a long time. You must have had a hard time these past few days of infiltration."

"Hehe, that's good. Keep up the good work!" he said, giving Lin Wushuang a cheerful pat on the shoulder.

Lin Wushuang's face flushed even more. After thinking for a moment, she said shyly, "Um, how about I treat you to a movie after the mission is over?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Linwan agreed without hesitation, "Sure, I've been wanting to see a movie lately."

Just as Lin Wushuang started to laugh happily, Ye Ciqing ran over with a disgruntled look, grabbed Ye Linwan's spider-leg behind her back, and started acting coquettishly.

"But Mom, my brother and I miss you so much. We want to eat dumplings with you and watch movies at home!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Linwan's heart softened again, and she looked at Lin Wushuang with a hint of apology.

"Let's make it another time. I need to spend time with my son this time."

Lin Wushuang's lips twitched violently as he covered his face and nodded helplessly. Ye Ciqing, on the other hand, looked at him with a wicked grin.

Ye Yiqing turned to look at Hela, who was locked on the counter. Hela also looked up and saw Ye Yiqing.

"Mom, could you please take this upstairs for me?"

Ye Yiqing pointed at Hela, Ye Linwan immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

With a gentle wave of her hand, a staircase of Darkness extended from her feet, connecting to Hela's platform.

"Thank you, Mom." Ye Yiqing gave Ye Linwan a beautiful smile and then handed her a pair of earrings.

"Mom, you keep this. We don't need it for now."

Then he climbed the dark staircase and headed towards Hela.

"Be careful! Hey, wait a minute!" After putting on the skull earrings, Ye Linwan shouted to Ye Yiqing, then took out a few green insect eggs from her pocket and tossed them to Ye Yiqing.

"Thank you, Mom." Ye Yiqing took the insect eggs and went to the platform where Hela was.

As soon as he looked down at Hela, a faint electric current surged through his body, and his long hair stood on end.

Ye Yiqing's pupils contracted instantly, and before he could react, a bolt of lightning struck him.

After a loud bang, Ye Yiqing stood there unharmed, surrounded by a pink shield that firmly protected him.

Ye Linwan took out a string of light pink Buddhist prayer beads from her bosom. Each bead looked as if it were made of eyes, and it looked exactly like the [ Prayer Bead Worm ] she had encountered before, except that the one in Ye Linwan's hand was light pink.

One of the beads lit up, and a pink sword aura slashed towards Qian Lan, who had just formed a body.

Qian Lan transformed into a bolt of lightning once more, dodging the attack and striking directly at Lin Wushuang and the other two.

At the same time, the metal ceiling above them was kneaded into a ball by a force, then turned into a ball of iron sand that shot towards the three of them, with Zhou Fan suspended above them.

"Let's take them away, so they don't bother my son."

Ye Linwan patted Lin Wushuang on the shoulder, Lin Wushuang immediately nodded and calmly raised her hands.

Just as the two attacks were about to land, a large area of space around them instantly distorted, taking Zhou Fan and Qian Lan with them.

All that remained were the tangled ruins surrounding them, and Hela and Ye Yiqing, who were locked up.

As the shield dissipated, Ye Yiqing turned to look at Hela after seeing that the others had completely left.

Hela then raised her head, her large, peach-colored eyes revealing a hint of hatred.

"I'm going to... kill you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiqing was not angry at all. Instead, he felt sorry for Hela and wanted to touch her face, but Hela opened her mouth and almost bit his hand.

Ye Yiqing smiled gently, looking at her hands with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright, Hela, given the situation, it would have been reasonable for you to help them. I don't blame you. Now come with me, I'll get you out of here."

Ye Yiqing squatted down to look Hela in the eye, his gaze as gentle as before she betrayed him.

But Hela raised her head, dragging her heavy iron chain, and slammed her head into Ye Yiqing's head, almost knocking Ye Yiqing off the platform.

Ye Yiqing steadied himself, tilted his head back, and a drop of blood flowed down his forehead.

He touched the wound on his forehead, his fingers stained with blood, and looked at Hela, his helplessness deepening.

"Honestly, why don't you just turn your head into a mouth and bite me?"

Hela continued to stare at him angrily, as if she were about to pounce on Ye Yiqing and dismember him at any moment.

Ye Yiqing seemed to understand the answer at this moment. He stared at Hela with his eyes still gentle, but now they looked somewhat eerie.

"You don't actually think you're a human being, do you, Hela?"

Ye Yiqing stood up and looked down at Hela. "You need to recognize yourself. You're just a Variant without any emotions."

Hela raised her head and met Ye Yiqing's increasingly cold gaze.

"I have..."

Ye Yiqing stared into Hela's eyes, then suddenly sneered, leaning down to place his hand on Hela's shoulder.

" Hela, don't get too caught up in the role. Tell me, where's your emotion?" Ye Yiqing's tone suddenly turned serious.

"One million people in City C all lost their lives because of what they said. Have you ever felt guilty about it? Have you ever knelt down to pay your respects at their cemetery because of this?!"

You have none of these things! Instead, you feel guilty towards Han Xiaoxiao, who was disabled because of your influence. Don't you find that strange?

You don't feel guilty towards the people of an entire city, but you feel guilty towards just one person. Why is that?

Hela's lips trembled, unsure of what to say, but Ye Yiqing answered the question.

"I know why, because you feel you should feel guilty towards Han Xiaoxiao! You should be sorry for her! That's why you feel guilty! It's all because you're imitating other humans!"

Hela's eyes began to tremble; she truly felt no remorse for the people she had killed in City C.
