Chapter 565: Follow After The Footsteps Of Soulsqn

Soulsqn had lost count of how many years she had lived to this day.

For as long as she could remember, she had always been the queen of the Souls. Not only did her ability dwarf the other Souls’, but she was also the only one of her kind that had formed gender identity. She was the hope of her species. With her “reality,” there were no battles that she could not triumph over. Together, she and her species had overtaken many humans, and there was almost no force that could threaten them…

That was until she met Lin Sanjiu. Then, her smooth-sailing days finally came to an end.

Whenever Soulsqn thought that the worst was over, there would be an even more severe treatment waiting for her ahead. This time, she lost nearly half of her body. She had become so weak that she couldn’t break herself free when she was pinned down on the ground, a feat she could have easily achieved when she was in her prime.

The tall woman winced at her, her brow locking in a disgusting crease. “…Why are you so useless?”

Soulsqn groaned in fury, but it did nothing to Lin Sanjiu. She turned away from the worm and looked warily at the people that were getting up. She asked, “Who are you?”

She found that each of them had a different appearance. Hearing her question, all of them turned their heads in unison and looked at her, but none of them responded to her question.

The naked woman that first spoke was the closest to Lin Sanjiu. She glanced at Lin Sanjiu then turned to a few people next to her. None of them were talking, but Lin Sanjiu had a hunch that they were communicating in some way.

“Speak!” Lin Sanjiu yelled. She summoned the [Tornado Whip] into her palm and strode towards the woman, causing the woman to shift her gaze back to Lin Sanjiu. When her gaze fell on the [Tornado Whip] in Lin Sanjiu’s hand, she tossed her head back and dropped to the floor.

Stunned by the woman’s reaction, Lin Sanjiu hastened her pace. When she was close enough, she realized that the woman had not closed her eyes, but was in her sober senses. ‘What the hell is happening?’ Before Lin Sanjiu could get an answer to the question in her mind, she caught something flying toward her through the corner of her eyes. Lin Sanjiu quickly retaliated by stepping back and sending a tornado towards the incoming shadow.

Soulsqn yelled out in pain as the wind engulfed her. It carried her with a powerful force through the air. Since there was no obstacle to cushion her speed, with a meaty smack, she rammed hard into the wall on the other side of the hall, creating a loud echo that ricocheted endlessly in the building.

Suddenly, a pit appeared below the floor of the people who had awakened, and before Lin Sanjiu knew it, the group of people had fallen into it. The pit then closed before the air below could escape.

The moment Lin Sanjiu arrived, silence had once more reclaimed its sovereignty over the area. She could hear nothing but her own footfalls and breathing.

“What the hell is happening?” Succumbing to her anger, Lin Sanjiu cursed out loud and punched the floor.

The silvery bright and well-polished floor seemed to be made from the same material as the wall. It dissolved most of the force from her punch while sending the rest back to her, numbing her arm.

‘What would happen if I used [Mosaic Censorship to blow up the floor?

‘What will I find down there?’

Staring at the floor, Lin Sanjiu fell into deep thought. She forwent the idea in the end and decided to only use the tactic when the situation demanded it.

Falling back to square one, Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly. Then, she began to study the few humans who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep next to her. She tried to push them, but they didn’t give any response.

‘Why are they here? Is it like what Soulsqn said, some creatures are using them as vessels?’

Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu felt that something was amiss. She looked around the hall, realizing that it had been too quiet.

‘Where is Soulsqn? That’s weird… I didn’t hear her screaming or cursing. She didn’t even cry out in pain…’

Lin Sanjiu slowly turned her head in the direction where Soulsqn had flown into. But aside from the human bodies on the ground, Lin Sanjiu saw nothing.

For a moment, Lin Sanjiu thought Soulsqn had gone into a human body while she was distracted by the woman just now. However, when she went closer to the wall, she saw no one getting up.

Lin Sanjiu tried to call out for Soulsqn, but it was to no avail. All she heard was her own echoes. Soulsqn had disappeared.

‘Could it be that the floor here opened up as well, and Soulsqn had fallen into it?’

“No, that’s impossible.” Lin Sanjiu abandoned the idea once she swept a gaze across the floor. In this area, the floor was so crowded with human bodies that she needed to tiptoe in the spaces between the head and shoulders so that she would not trip over them. If the floor had really opened up, then the human bodies here would have fallen as well.

With a skeptical eye, she scanned the floor a few times before finally fixing her eyes on the wall, or to be more precise, on the holes.

There were some mucus stains on the wall, glistening against the light. At a glance, it seemed as if somebody had licked the wall. Lin Sanjiu followed the stains until she stood in front of a hole. Some of the mucus had collected around the circumference of the hole, forming into a sticky droplet that slid down the wall.

Lin Sanjiu stretched and wiped her finger across the interior of the hole. As she expected, she felt a slippery substance. She took out the [Ability Polishing Agent] and flooded the crater with its silvery light. With the help of the beam, she managed to spot a chunk of red-colored shadow that was stuck to the deep end of the hole. It seemed like the flesh of Soulsqn, but Lin Sanjiu couldn’t be sure.

Even with Soulsqn’s attenuated body, it would still be a bit difficult for her to squeeze herself through the hole, which was about the size of a human head.

After a short inspection, Lin Sanjiu decided to believe in her heart and put both of her hands on either side of the hole.

Even though it was a material she had never seen before, Lin Sanjiu was relieved when she heard a cracking sound alongside the activation of her ability. Like a shattering window, the part of the wall under her palm pulverized. In order to not injure her eyes, Lin Sanjiu quickly turned her head sideways and used her hand to shield her eyes from the blast of metal dust.

The hole had now become larger. Lin Sanjiu spit out the dust that went into her mouth and then crawled into the hole. Very soon, she came to a halt. The road in front was stuck, and she had no choice but to use the [Mosaic Censorship] to blast her way through once more.

The commotion she made was insignificant compared to the enormous wall, so Lin Sanjiu did not worry about the possibility of the wall collapsing. However, the chunk of meat she had seen just now seemed to have crashed along with the wall. She had been traveling for so long, yet she still hadn’t found anything that resembled the flesh or skin of Soulsqn.

The light from the hall was getting dimmer and dimmer. She kept blasting holes and moved deeper down. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu had a feeling that she was getting closer to hell.

Her entire body was coated in a thick layer of dust. A puff of metal dust would flutter into the air from her eyelashes every time she blinked her eyes. At first, Lin Sanjiu made the effort to dust her shirt, but eventually she became too lazy to do so. No matter how hardworking she was, the dust only got thicker as she blasted a tunnel open.

When Lin Sanjiu came to a halt, she subconsciously closed her eyes, held her breath, and placed her palm against the tunnel.

Similar to what she experienced before, Lin Sanjiu let out a spell of coughing as the [Mosaic Censorship] blasted the tunnel wider. After the dust had settled down, Lin Sanjiu moved forward.

Then, she fell straight into an abyss.
