The food was quickly finished, and the blonde woman put away her lunchbox, sat down on the stool next to her, and began chatting with Ye Yiqing.

"I really don't know how you can eat this kind of thing. Every time I see it, I feel nauseous."

Ye Yiqing smiled faintly, "It's alright. I've eaten things that were even worse than this before."

"Hmm, what is it? A mouse?"

Ye Yiqing chuckled softly, her gentle voice instantly soothing those who heard it.

"Not necessarily rats."

The blonde girl propped her chin on her hand, staring intently at Ye Yiqing.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yiqing smiled gently at her.

"I was just wondering, you look like the gentle older brother next door, so why are you a member of the Light God Society?"

"I wish you were my colleague..."

The blonde girl's eyes were filled with regret, her gaze burning with longing; she wished she could rush up and kiss Ye Yiqing.

"Haha, I'm really happy to hear you say that."

The blonde girl seemed to remember something, moved her stool closer with a gossipy look on her face.

"Hey, I heard you have a younger brother, is that true?"

"Yes, you should have the information on your end," Ye Yiqing replied gently, without any attempt to hide anything.

"Really? Let me see."

The blonde woman took out a stack of documents from her backpack and began to look through them.

Finally, turn to two pages and look at them carefully.

Wow, your little brother is so handsome, and he even has white hair!

"Yes, I also think he's very good-looking."

Why is he white-haired?

"Hmm... I don't know about that."

"Oh... then why do I feel... you two don't look particularly alike?"

As she spoke, the blonde woman maintained her nonchalant demeanor, but her eyes were carefully observing Ye Yiqing's subtle changes.

Ye Yiqing thought for a moment, "It's probably due to genetics, after all, there's a two-year gap between us."

Seeing that the other party did not react in any particular way, the blonde woman's tone suddenly turned cold.

"However, according to your physical examination reports from the recruit training camp, it seems that you two are not from the same father and mother."

But they are only half-siblings...

After saying that, she immediately looked at Ye Yiqing, but Ye Yiqing still did not react at all, and looked at her with a smile.

The blonde woman was completely stunned.

"Mr. Ye Yiqing... are you angry now?"

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Ye Yiqing tilted her head slightly, revealing a somewhat puzzled expression.

The blonde woman frowned slightly as she looked at a data report display device next to her.

Why does it show on my end that your anger level has exceeded the threshold for exploding?

Ye Yiqing's expression remained unchanged. "Perhaps your instrument is broken. Do I look angry right now?"

The blonde woman looked at Ye Yiqing, who still had a smile on his face, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, that's enough of our chat for today. Thank you for keeping me company for so long..."

After saying that, she packed her things and left in a hurry.

As soon as the other person left, a cleaner wearing a mask pushed a cleaning cart in.

Ye Yiqing didn't look at him, but turned to look at the instrument displaying anger, where the anger index was slowly decreasing.

Just then, the sanitation worker who was sweeping the ground slowly moved in front of Ye Yiqing.

He reached into his sleeve and slipped a small knife into the crevice of the seat, then used a rag to wipe the seat.

The entire process was very discreet and clever, taking advantage of the difference in visibility to prevent the surveillance cameras from noticing the cleaner's little action.

" The Light God Society... will save the world..."

The cleaner whispered in Ye Yiqing's ear in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, packed up the cleaning supplies, and left the room.

Ye Yiqing leaned back quietly in her seat, doing nothing, her expression unreadable.

The warden's office.

The warden, with his sleek, bald head, rested his chin on one hand and held a pen in the other, scribbling away at the documents on his desk.

His fierce eyes were now filled with exhaustion.

"Yawn~"

After yawning for the fifth time, I picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, but I didn't taste anything.

"I'll help you go to the bar."

Another woman, who was also handling documents, took his cup and went to the coffee machine to make him a cup.

"By the way, you should drink less coffee; it's bad for your health. Look at you, you're almost bald."

She put down her coffee and pointed to the warden's head.

The warden said nothing, simply finished his coffee, and continued working.

"You should get some rest. As the deputy warden, you still have a lot of work to do."

The warden spoke without looking up, and the woman gave a perfunctory reply.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it. I won't work as hard as you."

Squeak--

Just then, the office door was gently pushed open, and a somewhat reserved young man with long hair appeared before the two of them.

"Who are you?! How did you get in?!"

Upon seeing the unfamiliar face, the deputy warden immediately became alert, and the warden also looked up.

Two powerful pressures suddenly erupted from their bodies.

' Ten Thousand Stars ' and ' Ten Thousand Stars ' Peak!

The woman frowned immediately when she saw the group of prison guards lying unconscious behind the open door.

He clenched his fist in mid-air towards the person in front of him.

An invisible hand suddenly appeared from the void and firmly gripped the seemingly frail young man in front of him.

"What are you here to do...?"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman's pupils contracted sharply. The young man she should have been holding tightly in front of her had actually raised his hand with ease!

Seeing that things were not going well, the warden quickly activated his abilities.

An invisible domain unfolded around him, trapping everything within its confines. At the same time, Aidan felt as if his abilities were being suppressed.

"I'm so sorry..."

Aidan lowered her head slightly, and the pixelated heart behind the door immediately turned blue.

With a downward sway of his hand, a tremendous force slammed the two people in front of him to the ground.

"How could this be...!" The two were shocked at the same time.

The woman withdrew the invisible hand, using it to fight against the force that was suppressing her.

The warden also concentrated all the mental energy within his domain, which was used to suppress the abilities of superhumans, onto Aidan.

But the force suppressing them was like Mount Tai; no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't budge it an inch.

"Alright, just kill them both! ' Ten Thousand Stars's' head..."

Slurp... it sounds delicious!

Xiao Huan's increasingly twisted voice echoed in Aidan's mind.

Aidan's lips twitched, and several acorn-made bone clubs formed two cages, trapping the two inside.

"There's no need. Avoid killing if possible. Besides, I don't think they're bad people..."

Aidan muttered something under his breath, then quickly left despite Xiao Huan's insults.

Only two wardens remained, struggling endlessly in their bone-filled cages.

They who had imprisoned others for their entire lives never imagined that one day they themselves would be imprisoned.
