Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at the zombie’s corpse and took a deep breath. Then, he looked at his b.l.o.o.d.y fists. Although they were still bleeding and throbbing from pain, he was exhilarated – his new power had not let him down.
Comparing the zombie to Tsukuyomi, the former was inferior. Even so, its battle prowess in no way could be underestimated. Therefore, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was satisfied with his performance. He believed his power and other aces were enough to let him fight against Genesis’ Chancellor on equal terms.
“Brother Jiang, you were so cool!” shouted Xiang Xuehai excitedly, while rus.h.i.+ng to his side to hold his hands. Li Yuxin followed behind to treat Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s wounds.
“This can wait.” Jiang Lius.h.i.+ waved his hands and then walked toward Angelica. “Where is Shen Kui?” he asked
“He is a yard behind the manor,” replied Angelica, still looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ in surprise. The battle’s outcome was completely beyond her expectations. Meanwhile, she wondered what the blue light was, as well as why and how such potent energy was stored in it.
“He is in the back, but he-” Before Angelica had the chance to elaborate, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ignored her and walked past her.
The Black Rubik’s Cube was in Shen Kui’s hands, so Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could not possibly let him run away.
“Mr. Jiang!” Angelica ran after him quickly.
Only after Jiang Lius.h.i.+ disappeared from their line of sight did the crowd feel relief. The shock Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had brought them today was deeply rooted in their hearts. In truth, the level-3 mutant zombie may have terrified them, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+, who none of them believed he could beat it, was much a more frightening existence than it.
Tomiko had witnessed the whole battle from far away. She also stood agape. Every time she thought it was over for Jiang Lius.h.i.+, the latter created one miracle after the other.
“If he is willing to stay in Chukyo Base, it would be wonderful!” exclaimed a paranormal from Tomiko’s team.
“It’s too late…” Tomiko sighed while shaking her head.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had noticed they had chosen to abandon him instead of helping him. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn’t mind at all.
Tomiko was a kindhearted girl, but she too felt it was a pity that they had lost their chance to deepen their ties with Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s team. She stared at the manor with mixed feelings. The revelation that Angelica was the base’s leader had also stunned her. But compared to the surprises Jiang Lius.h.i.+ brought, Angelica’s matter was insignificant.
…
The manor’s interior was quite s.p.a.cious. After entering the manor and walking for some time, they reached a j.a.panese-style garden, which gave off a sense of serenity and elegance.
The moment Jiang Lius.h.i.+ entered the garden with the Vulcan in hand, the garden’s atmosphere affected him greatly. Snapping out of his daze, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ walked toward a building and shot the door’s lock, smas.h.i.+ng it completely. Then, he kicked open the door.
The first thing Jiang Lius.h.i.+ saw was an SUV and a man, whose body was trembling uncontrollably, trying to walk to the vehicle weakly. With Ran Xiyu’s confirmation, it was a no-brainer that the weak-looking man was Shen Kui.
“Jiang Lius.h.i.+!” screamed Shen Kui, weakly. As soon as he saw Jiang Lius.h.i.+, he discarded every thought of escaping. He was clearly aware of Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s energy, power, and speed, so it was impossible for him to flee. He fell in total despair. Ten minutes earlier, he was filled with confidence, but now, he was reduced to such a miserable state. Just Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s presence scared him to death!
“You want that Black Rubik’s Cube, right?” asked Shen Kui.
“Take it out!” ordered Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“In truth, the cube is of no use to you,” said Shen Kui. “If you want to obtain endless resources, our organization can provide-”
“Less nonsense! Take the cube out!” interrupted Jiang Lius.h.i.+ impatiently.
“No worries. I’ll hand it to you immediately,” replied Shen Kui.
Then, Shen Kui picked up the travel bag next to him, opened it, and took out a small black cube out of it.
Although Shen Kui was seriously wounded, he was able to sense that a spiritual sense was locked on him. Moreover, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s eyes were fixed on him, so how could he dare to play any tricks?
As soon as Jiang Lius.h.i.+ saw the black cube, he felt excited. Sta.r.s.eed also sensed the black cube’s existence and expressed its intention to absorb it.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ leaned toward Shen Kui and grabbed the black cube from his hands. Shen Kui was grief-stricken, but he didn’t dare to say anything. On the other hand, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could not be happier. He held the black cube carefully and scrutinized it.
The black cube felt very light in Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s hand, and it emitted a black metallic l.u.s.ter. The whole cube consisted of six small square faces that could be rotated, which was why Genesis called it Black Rubic’s Cube.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ rotated the squares a bit, and after aligning their lines with each other, a slight sound came from it. After the sound, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s line of sight seemed to cross the cube’s surface and reach its interior. Inside the black cube was hollow s.p.a.ce, which was beyond Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s initial expectations. The s.p.a.ce was 100 square meters dimension, in which many metal blocks were contained.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had never seen or heard of such metals before. Apparently, they were the metals needed to build the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, and the black cube was similar to the MCV’s storage s.p.a.ce. Maybe, the black cube was also a part of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
Shen Kui observed Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s expression from the side. After Genesis’ scientists discovered that the black cube actually held another dimension, which acted as a storage s.p.a.ce, they were all shocked. Adding the many advanced technologies from the lost civilization’s relic, those discoveries propelled Genesis’ development.
Naturally, Shen Kui expected Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to reveal a surprised expression or something similar, but instead to his expectations, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ actually seemed joyful. Seeing that, Shen Kui felt doubtful and wondered why a paranormal, who had obtained his powers after doomsday, could be so collected in the face of such overwhelming things.
“Other than the Black Rubik’s Cube, what other things have you discovered?” asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
After confirming that one of the things Genesis discovered in the relic was the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was unwilling to miss the slightest detail and piece of information. Of course, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn’t was to restore that s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. After all, it didn’t belong to him. Only the MCV belonged to him!
