Chapter 260: Chapter 260

"The person who could kill Shangguan Jun just faints from lack of oxygen so easily? You must be hiding plenty of secrets too, you know? Shangguan Jun was a crucial pawn in Zhetian. You say you..." Lin Yi pulled the trigger of the gun on his chest, pointing it at Jing Shu’s head as he fell into deep thought.

Jing Shu’s heart pounded wildly. Could her luck be this bad? Please, I still have some value! Let’s talk this out! The poor Jing Shu couldn’t react at all. If at this moment her Magic Cube Space and reality perfectly overlapped, she might be able to manipulate the gun in the Magic Cube Space and shoot Lin Yi dead.

"Huh, she’s not faking it." Unsure of what he had thought, Lin Yi suddenly holstered his gun and crouched down to turn the fainted Jing Shu over.

He examined Jing Shu closely. Her face, covered in blood that had already clotted, was more bedraggled than Su Malie’s. Lin Yi’s fingers pressed on Jing Shu’s neck and nostrils and opened her eyelids to take a closer look, causing him to frown again.

It wasn’t caused by a lack of oxygen!

"What’s the matter, boss? Want to kill this busybody? Let me do it!" Saying this, he prepared to kick her, but a look from Lin Yi stopped him.

Lin Yi waved his hand. "I still have use for this woman." With that, Lin Yi began to search her. Unfortunately, all he found were military knives, daggers, and tools—nothing useful. Lin Yi frowned in confusion. She doesn’t have a gun on her? No dangerous items? It can’t be! Maybe she lost them along the way?

Jing Shu also slowly exhaled a breath of relief, thankful she had the habit of always keeping valuable items in her space. Usually, when she needed something, she’d pretend to reach into her pocket while actually retrieving the item from her space. Her phone also held many secrets, so she always stored these important items in her space. It had become instinctive for her to go through the motion of reaching into a pocket before daring to pull anything out.

No, I should be grateful that I’m still a bit useful, so I haven’t been killed!

"Forget it, lock them up here. You keep an eye on them. Also, clear out the passageway outside; don’t let it interfere with the plans that follow." Lin Yi stood up, squinting his eyes. He pondered for a bit, and added, "Be very careful, because this woman is the murderer who killed Shangguan Jun. You know Shangguan Jun, right?"

Fatty’s teeth chattered. Of course, I know!

"Don’t worry, boss. I’ll be careful. Once they’re tied up here, they won’t be going anywhere," Fatty fervently promised. But once the boss leaves, I’ll do whatever I want! I can act as I please!

Su Malie is untouchable; she’s a hostage. But what about this little shrimp next to her?

HEHEHE! Fatty was already envisioning his delightful life.

Lin Yi nodded, gathered all the guns, and walked out the door of the underground passage. Finally, he took two tiny surveillance devices and stuck them at the doorway before completely leaving.

Let me see, what secrets do you really hold? My favorite thing to do is ’fight fire with fire’. If I hadn’t been so vigilant, ensuring my life and actions were strictly monitored around the clock, this woman might have already discovered something. Lin Yi hummed a tune, thinking to himself.

Lin Yi knew exactly what kind of person Fatty was. I deliberately left Fatty behind to cause trouble. I want to see how Jing Shu will resist in a situation with no outside help.

He was quite looking forward to it.

Lin Yi had left. His movements of stealthily placing something at the door before he left did not escape Jing Shu, who was currently in a soul-out-of-body state.

Jing Shu found it even more incredible: her field of view was identical to the one she had within her Magic Cube Space, and within this view, there were no blind spots for her.

Jing Shu didn’t know if this was a new ability her Magic Cube Space was gaining while upgrading to level 7.

In any case, in the real world overlapping with the Magic Cube Space, Jing Shu had the same God’s Eye View as she did in the Magic Cube Space, which could zoom in and rotate. When she wanted to see what Lin Yi had stuck there, the view instantly zoomed in, and she saw it was a pinhole surveillance camera!

Jing Shu had a new hypothesis: When the Magic Cube Space fully overlaps with the real world, I’ll also have ’control’ over the part of the real world merged with it, just like I have ’Absolute Control’ within the Magic Cube Space itself.

This God’s Eye View, achieved through the overlap, might just be the beginning.

Just like in the Magic Cube Space, this ’God’s Eye View’ must be a reflection from the Magic Cube Space, transmitted into my mind. So, I’m not actually experiencing a soul out of body; what I’m seeing is merely a projection from the Magic Cube Space.

As the Magic Cube Space upgraded and expanded, her field of view expanded as well.

Lin Yi left, and Fatty called people over, binding Su Malie and Jing Shu in this underground passageway that resembled a transfer station. This place had housed many items before. Besides puddles, there were many black residues left on the ground. What are they conspiring here? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⸺fire.net

To prevent them from escaping, Fatty chained them to a thick pillar, then rubbed his hands. "Wait for me. Once I’ve fixed the passage, we’ll come back and have some fun."

Fatty initially wanted to touch Jing Shu’s cheek, but Jing Shu, covered in blood and dirty water, looked too wretched. Disgusted, Fatty ultimately turned to work first, as Jing Shu exhaled slowly once more.

Time slowly passed, and Da Mao’s corpse in the corner attracted many apocalypse-era insects that began to devour it. Judging by this speed, Jing Shu estimated that in less than two hours, Da Mao’s body would be reduced to a skeleton, with not even blood remaining.

Until... Jing Shu’s vision gradually became blurry, the projection of the Magic Cube Space slowly shattered and collapsed. Jing Shu lost her last bit of vision and consciousness.

Information about the Magic Cube Space’s upgrade kept flooding in. Only then did Jing Shu understand: The new field of vision was just one branch of the Magic Cube Space’s new abilities!

"I’m going to work myself to death today," Fatty panted, looking at the Swiss watch on his wrist with satisfaction. Although I’m tired as a dog, the haul was good. Too bad the guns from those crushed people were also damaged, otherwise the haul would’ve been even better!

Fatty approached the two who were chained, chuckling with a grin, rubbing his hands continuously. "Little darlings, I’m here! Did you miss me a lot?"

Su Malie woke up to the noise. She opened her eyes to see such a big face approaching and screamed.

"AH!! AH!" Su Malie’s screams finally woke Jing Shu. She felt aches all over, a chilling cold, and her stomach growled with hunger; the upgrade had likely consumed a lot of her energy.

The moment her eyes opened, she also saw Fatty’s large face approaching, his groping hand nearing too.
