Chapter 70 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (70)

“However, I won’t let you harm innocent people.” This was the reason why Bai Tang was willing to entangle herself with Shi Minzhi.

“The zombie tree demon was also intentionally left for me by you. You deliberately showed it to me,” Shi Minzhi accused.

“I just went with the flow. You wanted to know, so I let you know.” Bai Tang leaned against the cage and replied. “Look at how good I am to you. Whatever you wanted to do, I gave you the opportunity.”

Inexplicably, there was a hint of indulgence in her tone.

Shi Minzhi sneered, “So I should thank the little Captain for playing with me, huh? I thought you were going to put me on the research table and let them experiment on me!”

Bai Tang waved her hand, “Don’t think so badly of people, okay? I don’t have a habit of abusing others. Basically, it’s a one-hit kill. For so many years, you’re the only one who can’t be killed, so now I’ve been labeled as an abuser.”

Those old guys might jump out and criticize her again.

“You’ll be trapped here for the rest of your life, unless you really figure things out and come out. No one else can come in, and you can’t get out either. This beautiful cage, with its crystal cores inlaid, is my gift to you.”

Reformation?

Sorry, it didn’t exist.

Who would go out of their way to forgive one who had caused such harm? She let him do things within his abilities and integrate into the team. She also established a set of reasonable rules, and the people around him were kind and friendly. 

Despite this environment, he didn’t change or waver in the slightest— so Bai Tang didn’t think she had the ability to rely on her so-called kindness and trust to make him turn to the light and abandon the darkness.

She had neither the charm nor the face to do so.

Shi Minzhi couldn’t get too close to the iron cage. With a persistent look in his dark eyes, he murmured, “How long is a lifetime? You don’t know either, right, little Captain? Even if you die, I won’t die. But will there always be a day when I can’t escape? Little Captain is so naive.”

Bai Tang smiled and didn’t say much.

Indeed, Shi Minzhi was a very special person she had encountered. She had seen people who had died and come back to life, but never someone like Shi Minzhi who could reassemble his body from ashes, resurrect, and still retain his memory.

After Bai Tang left, the place was empty— with only a gorgeous cage left behind, inside of which a person with disabled legs was imprisoned.

Shi Minzhi felt no spiritual energy fluctuations around him and could no longer enhance his special abilities.

He couldn’t help but clenched his fist in frustration.

Shi Minzhi was unwilling to accept this situation, and his gaze fell on the crystal cores embedded in the cage.

If he couldn’t absorb spiritual energy, then perhaps the crystal cores could.

He extended his hand towards the beautiful crystal cores, disregarding any potential harm. He didn’t care anymore about the consequences as long as it could make him less passive.

He thought he could finally release his grip on humanity and drag them to hell, but instead, he found himself imprisoned.

Like a barrier, Shi Minzhi couldn’t get close to the crystal cores.

Was there truly no way out?

Bai Tang had effortlessly destroyed his trump card.

Would he be trapped here forever?

***

Shi Minzhi’s secret was known only to Tang Manli and herself— the secret of his ability to come back from the dead. Everything that happened in the laboratory was handled by Bai Tang. She erased the memories of those who saw it, and removed the surveillance footage completely.

Bai Tang had her own reasons for keeping Shi Minzhi’s secret. The world was full of greedy people who would do anything to get their hands on such a unique and powerful ability. If they ever found out about it, they would surely cause chaos and destruction.

“Miss Bai, if it’s possible, I would like our team to study him,” the doctor in the white coat said, pushing his glasses up his nose.

The ability to devour other abilities was really surprising.
