Chapter 39: Leaving the City

Yu didn’t hesitate any longer. He scooped up Xiuying in his arms, holding her tightly, not letting her break free. Just as Lu Minli’s power was about to envelop his body—

He was interrupted.

Jian was stunned at the sight of blood splattered across the floor.

“Wife? Wife!!!”

He rushed into the house, searching for Xiuying, but there wasn’t a trace of her.

Hearing his voice, Xiuying’s dazed eyes filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and glared at Jian. Spotting a kitchen knife nearby, she shoved aside the housekeeper and charged at Jian with the knife raised.

“W-wife…”

Completely unprepared, Jian turned around to see the crazed Xiuying. He tried to reason with her, but she shoved him away as if she didn’t recognize him, slashing at him mercilessly.

“You forced me! You forced me!!!”

Yu couldn’t believe the person in front of him was her.

He ran over, not caring that he was covered in blood, and tightly hugged her. “It’s okay, it’s okay, Jian is dead. No one will bully me and my brother anymore. Let go, please, be good.”

Lu Minli frowned slightly. Seeing more and more people gathering outside, he didn’t hesitate any longer. While Xiuying was still out of her mind, he grabbed Yu and said, “Hold on to me, we’re leaving the city!”

In Xinshi, whether you were an ability user or an ordinary person, no one could compare to his father. If you weren’t dead, you were gone from this base. No matter who you were, no one dared to stay behind and challenge him.

He immediately told Sang Chu his plan.

When Sang Chu received the news, she was stunned. She hadn’t expected Yi to pull something so reckless. She hurried to find Sang Jingwen.

“Brother, don’t let Yi and Lu Minli leave the city together!”

“What about you?”

Sang Chu said, “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. I’ve already set up the Rabbit Drone outside the city, but right now it can’t wait for you outside, so I’ve put it in stealth mode. When you get close, switch it to normal mode. I’ll use my drone to draw their attention in the city, and you take the chance to leave with Lu Minli!”

Lu Minli hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. When he met up with Sang Jingwen, he was still worrying about how to sneak them all out.

The patrols were all ability users, and it was hard to avoid them. His power couldn’t be used continuously at the moment—how frustrating.

The city gates were already sealed, and it seemed all the guards were psychic ability users, just in case someone tried to sneak out with a drone.

The walls of Xinshi were very high. Right now, aside from using his power to get out, there was no other way.

But even if he could use his power, he’d still have to break through the city gate to get out.

It was a dead end.

Sang Jingwen said, “I’ll go near the city gate first.”

“For now, this is the only way. I can’t stay invisible the whole time, or I won’t have the strength to get out when the time comes. Yu, hold your brother tight and keep up, understand?”

Yu nodded, following Lu Minli’s lead. He carefully avoided the patrols, inching toward the city gate.

During this time, Lu Minli frantically absorbed the power from the jade stone, hoping to recharge as quickly as possible.

Suddenly—

A pillar of fire shot up from the wealthy district.

“Explosion! Get ready, there’s another one!!”

Sang Chu, controlling the Rabbit Drone, detonated it in the wealthy district, then quickly messaged Lu Minli while escaping herself.

Lu Minli hadn’t known what Sang Chu was planning, but in the next second, explosions blasted open several holes nearby!

Sang Jingwen blinked at Lu Minli. “This… this works too?”

“Sang Chu set off a lot of explosions at once. They can’t all be guarded. Let’s go!”

Lu Minli rushed to a hole that looked decent enough and went straight through.

The Doctor, seeing Sang Chu appear, immediately tried to control her with his power. To prevent her from escaping, he even called over several psychic ability users.

“Hmph, let’s see where you run this time!”

“Doctor, is this the person you mentioned?”

“Yes, that’s her. Boss, can you see her?”

A burly man standing beside the Doctor squinted at the drone, shaking his head. “No, but since you’ve got her under control, don’t let her escape.”

But just as everyone thought Sang Chu had no way out, the Rabbit Drone suddenly appeared beside her and spoke:

“Ah Chu, don’t panic. The situation is too dangerous, but I’ve thought of a better way.”

Sang Chu was stunned, but when she heard the drone say it had a better plan, her eyes lit up. She’d been ready to risk everything just to get the drone outside the city, but hadn’t expected it to have a backup plan.

He attached the Doudou water to the launcher. “Ah Chu, watch closely, I’m about to use my ultimate move!”

With that, he fired the launcher. The Doudou water quickly condensed into a huge water ball. The psychic ability users could see it forming and shouted, “Defend! Quick, defend! What the hell is that thing?!”

“What the hell, didn’t the Doctor say he had her under control?”

“I don’t know, just defend…!”

The ability users all raised their shields to protect themselves. The so-called boss saw the water ball heading for the drone and reached out to intercept it, but the water ball was blown apart by a powerful force.

Water splashed everywhere, like a torrential downpour.

The moment they saw the water, someone screamed, “It’s water! Pure water!”

“No, my power…!”

“My power, my power!!!”

“My power is gone!”

“Mine too!”

“This stuff suppresses abilities! Quick, get the antidote!”

“Antidote, get the antidote!!”

The ability users, suddenly powerless, were terrified.

But this suppression had no effect on ordinary people.

The boss glared at the Doctor. “She’s over there.”

“Yes, I’ve got her under control.”

“Good.”

He stretched out his hands, and a huge psychic hand appeared in the air, grabbing the drone.

The drone was completely powerless under the high pressure.

“Ah Chu, what do we do now? I can’t break free…”

The Rabbit Drone was panicking, but suddenly, Sang Chu’s body flickered, and the drone’s eyes widened.

The Doctor was even more shocked—no one had ever escaped his control before!

He immediately increased his power output.

But in the next second, the Doctor felt his own power being drained away, and a strange energy began to invade his mind."
