54: Chapter 22 “You never willingly listen to elder sister’s words…

Kong Yulin tidied up the corpse of her former teammate, placed it into a large black plastic bag, and then stood still, waiting for the next command.

“I think you’ve already guessed, there’s actually another deceased specimen stored in this building.

I intended to deal with it early on, but the timing wasn’t quite right then, so it was postponed to today.”

An Zhizhen brought along her books and experiment notes, ready to leave the rooftop.

Following behind, Kong Yulin nodded silently.

Before the two left, the woman seemed to remember something and spoke to her in a casual manner,

“You are lucky to have the qualifications I need.

Is your cursing prohibition some kind of ‘Gu Technique’?

Your skills are quite comprehensive, but the upper limit is too low, limited potential.

According to the A B C D classification, you’re probably only a ‘B-class,’ right?

However, under the influence of the ‘Heavenly Leader,’ you can become stronger.”

Kong Yulin suddenly lifted her head, surprised that she thought she misheard.

If a Curse Forbidden Master wanted to obtain more powerful cursing prohibitions, they had to rely on serendipity, struggle, and sacrifice something to gain something else.

But her implication was not to replace the cursing prohibition, but to make the “original cursing prohibition” stronger.

Could it really be done, this kind of thing that defies common sense—

…No, if it were her, she indeed could do it.

She could crush a person’s spirit and personality and then completely reshape it, a vast power that surpassed Kong Yulin’s understanding of “cursing prohibition,” breaking the barriers between different grades of cursing prohibitions would be no challenge for someone like her.

“And I happen to be lacking an assistant by my side.

If you were any later, you’d have missed the opportunity to work for me; this is the second lucky encounter you’ve had.”

“…Yes.”

Kong Yulin lowered her head respectfully.

Under the circumstances where her own soul was entirely controlled by the other party, to be tempted by benefits…

Although the other party’s aim was nothing more than to make her willingly work for them, rather than feeling powerless to resist and giving up, following such a mysterious and powerful boss didn’t seem like the worst scenario—

For the moment, at least, she thought.

Because up until now, in the depths of Kong Yulin’s heart, she had not given up the intention to escape or resist.

“And then, there’s one more thing.”

In the dark eyes of the woman reflected the expression of Kong Yulin at this moment, the curve of her lips slightly rising in amusement,

“Please feel free to command.”

An Zhizhen’s smile was as gentle as ever, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

“Although you are already my subordinate, the matters of the past should be overlooked, but that’s from my perspective.

You were, after all, once an enemy of Dongsheng, weren’t you?

He even said he wanted to kill you.

If I were to let you go so easily, he’d definitely complain if he found out later.”

Her gaze lingered on Kong Yulin.

“So, I’ve decided to give you a punishment…

but how should I execute it to seem fair?

It’s quite the conundrum.”

The black-haired woman tapped her chin thoughtfully.

Kong Yulin was stunned for a moment and instinctively spoke,

“Do you…

still need to consider his opinion?

He’s just your lover, um…”

She had held this belief before.

However, at the time, Kong Yulin thought it was Curse Forbidden Master Cen Dongsheng who was supporting Doctor An; but now it seemed their relationship was probably reversed.

Thinking back carefully, though they spent all that time together back then, she only saw the man’s battles.

An Zhizhen never took action, even when someone held a knife to her throat, she could act like a weak and helpless ordinary girl.

So much so that even when she returned to Xiaokang Building for the Forbidden Items, she didn’t know that this woman was actually the one behind it all…

She felt completely misled, clearly possessing such terrifying abilities, and yet letting her subordinates toil desperately.

Such a deeply calculating nature.

As Kong Yulin thought this, she couldn’t help but reflect on it in her heart.

—This sentence wasn’t malicious, coming from a place of sincerity, so it didn’t trigger the influence of the “Heavenly Leader.”

Indeed, Kong Yulin didn’t understand the relationship between the two, didn’t know that An Zhizhen hadn’t yet revealed her true self in front of Cen Dongsheng.

But after hearing this, the smile on An Zhizhen’s face became even clearer, the faint smile spreading like a water lotus swaying in the breeze.

“Well, I’ve decided,” she said.

“What you said is quite unpleasant to hear, interpreting the relationship between Dongsheng and me as so filthy and cheap, really annoying.

As punishment, you can remain mute for life.”

The black-haired woman spoke lightly, casually tossing back the dagger that belonged to Kong Yulin.

“Settle it yourself.”

Kong Yulin’s complexion turned pale, frozen in place.

This was…

without a doubt, the short knife she once used to threaten An Zhizhen.

Kong Yulin’s actions were shaky, picking up the dagger, while uncontrollably sticking out her tongue, one hand pulling it tight as the blade moved slowly towards the tongue’s tip.

She couldn’t resist An Zhizhen’s order.

Cold sweat poured down, soaking the fabric on her back, her mind in turmoil, only able to watch helplessly as the sharp edge neared her soft tongue.

She could even taste a bit of the cold metal by now.

Then there was a sigh.

“Wait a moment.”

Kong Yulin’s self-destructive action paused halfway, and her heart hadn’t even dropped with her hands when she heard An Zhizhen continue:
