Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Invisible
Han Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in disbelief!
An experiment?... He was going to use her brother for an experiment? Could it be that in his past life, Qin Wenhao was also manipulated like this to strike at her brother?
"Sir, someone is chasing us," said the Superpower User with Psychic Ability.
Long Yueze sneered, "They’ve arrived quite fast."
He glanced at Cao Qi, who was driving in front, and asked impatiently, "Are we there yet?"
Cao Qi nodded hurriedly, pressing down on the gas pedal with even more force, repeatedly saying, "We’re here, we’re here..."
Before them lay a vast expanse of white snow. After Han Jiaojiao was led out of the car, Long Yueze raised his wrist and pressed a few buttons on his watch, revealing a massive object gradually in front of their eyes.
Han Jiaojiao stared in shock at everything, almost unable to believe her own eyes.
Was it a plane? Was it... a spaceship from another planet?
The entire spaceship was as big as a basketball court, silver and disc-shaped, quietly hovering above the snowy ground, less than half a meter from the surface.
Han Jiaojiao was brought onto the spaceship, watching helplessly as the hatch behind her closed, a tremendous fear surging in her heart as if, once the door shut, she would never see her brother again...
Inside the spaceship was pure white, with only three sections: an outer corridor, a central activity area, and an inner control room. They went straight into the innermost control room, where Long Yueze operated the console for a moment, and the walls of the cabin, along with the ceiling and floor, instantly became transparent! It was only the occasional streaks of blue electricity that allowed them to discern the existence of the cabin walls.
Once it turned transparent, the scenes outside the spaceship could be seen clearly, with wind and snow intertwining, and a few vehicles were rapidly approaching in the distance.
They were vehicles from the Space-Time Base!
Her brother was coming to rescue her!
Han Jiaojiao couldn’t contain the excitement in her heart, and Long Yueze seemed to notice the anticipation in her eyes, scoffed from behind her, "Let her go, she can’t escape anyway."
As his words fell, Han Jiaojiao found that the force binding her disappeared.
She immediately ran to the wall and began banging on it desperately, shouting, "Brother! Brother!—"
The convoy stopped just twenty meters away from her, and Han Yi stepped out, along with Xiao Jian and others who accompanied him.
They were so close!
Han Jiaojiao’s heart raced, and she yelled even louder, "Brother! I’m here!!! Brother!"
However, Han Yi didn’t look her way. He merely swept a glance around the area, and even when his gaze passed in Han Jiaojiao’s direction, he only paused briefly before quickly looking away.
Desperation was clearly evident in Han Yi’s eyes.
"Brother! Brother... Brother! I’m here! I’m right here!!!"
Long Yueze, who had seated himself at some point, leaned back leisurely in the swivel chair, having reverted to his true appearance. "The outer wall material of the spaceship has very good sound insulation. Even if there were Superpower Users with enhanced hearing here, they might not be able to hear your voice. Save your energy..."
From his angle, it was clearly visible that Han Jiaojiao’s back stiffened instantly. Was she feeling despair? Was she experiencing fear?
Long Yueze thought with interest, just imagining Han Jiaojiao’s body trembling slightly with fear excited him inexplicably, and his gaze towards her became even more blatant.
Teenage girls are the most tender and delicious, always seeming stubborn on the outside, yet brittle and vulnerable on the inside. — He liked that.
Long Yueze’s mood brightened.
Although things hadn’t gone according to plan and they hadn’t captured Han Yi, grabbing Han Yi’s sister was an unexpected boon. As long as Han Jiaojiao was in his clutches, Han Yi would surely come knocking on his own...
Long Yueze watched Han Jiaojiao’s retreating figure with a small smirk on his lips. She was dressed quite conservatively, but he could still make out her graceful curves, her hair fluffy like clouds, her skin white and delicate—he was growing more and more... fond of her.
Han Jiaojiao spun around abruptly!—A translucent white shadow flickered towards him! Long Yueze couldn’t see clearly, but his body instinctively twisted and turned to dodge, almost simultaneously, the flesh on his other side burst in a vivid red spray!
The Psychic Ability User standing to his right was caught off guard. The translucent white shadow darted into his mouth and nose, like the blades of a juicer, tearing him apart from the inside out! His body exploded like a bag of blood! Shreds of gore littered the ground!
Cao Qi was petrified with fright, taking a moment before she could let out a terrified scream!
"Ahhhhhh!——"
Rage blazed in Han Jiaojiao’s eyes, her speed hadn’t been fast enough, and Long Yueze had managed to evade her!
She had calculated that, at that distance, her Ability should have been able to eliminate two people at once. The Psychic Ability User who could control her had to die, followed by Long Yueze. As for Cao Qi, he hardly had any offensive power, not worthy of concern!
But she had failed! Long Yueze had actually dodged it!
Han Jiaojiao was not resigned. She raised her whip made of misty water again, ready to strike at Long Yueze, when suddenly a blinding light filled her vision! Her eyes reflexively shut tight, followed by an unbearable, piercing pain throughout her body!
Han Jiaojiao collapsed to the ground, curling her arms tightly around herself!
Pain!
It was as if every pore was opening and countless fine needles were jabbing into them!
Han Jiaojiao looked down, her lips tightly bitten, her body uncontrollably shaking with violent tremors. She was bathed in a beam of intense light, the pain so severe it made even breathing difficult, leaving her with no power to fight back. Angrily she thought: What on earth is going on?!
"You never mentioned she had an Ability," Long Yueze’s voice carried a clear displeasure.
Cao Qi hadn’t recovered from the shock of Han Jiaojiao killing someone, her voice trembling: "...I didn’t, didn’t know... she had an Ability..."
If they had known Han Jiaojiao had an Ability, they wouldn’t have been so careless about letting her go.
Long Yueze did not bother to question Cao Qi further. He took an instrument, aimed it at Han Jiaojiao, and adjusted it for a while. Frowning, he said, "The instrument is not responding, I can’t discern her Ability type or levels."
"It should... it should be the Water Ability..." Cao Qi hesitantly said.
There were still some shallow thin puddles on the ground.
Long Yueze took a closer look, then observed Han Jiaojiao curled up under the bright light, and said indifferently, "It’s melted snow, snow that fell on her hair and clothes before turning into water inside the spaceship, which she then used. However, her Ability must be quite special, ordinary Water Ability cannot achieve this."
As he spoke, he glanced at the mess on the floor, a little nauseated, and commanded Cao Qi, "Clean up here quickly."
"...Yes, Mr. Long..."
Han Jiaojiao couldn’t raise her head in the beam, the glaring light forcing her eyes to squint barely halfway open, the pain numbing all her senses. She could hear footsteps approaching, growing closer—Long Yueze appeared to also fear the light, stopping as he neared the range of the beam.
Rustling sounds suggested he was crouching in front of her, silently admiring her disheveled state for a while, before slowly saying, "You really are interesting..."
Han Jiaojiao wanted to curse him, to leap up and tear at him, but the intense beam of light trapped her like a vise! The more she struggled, the more pain she felt.
She heard Long Yueze’s chuckle, then everything went black as she lost consciousness.
