ADX jail desert situated in Rock Island, Colorado was seen as the strictest guarded prison in the world. Legends said that no one had been able to escape from this place.In the silent night, the cold wind blew the sand dust along with it as the temperature in the desert reached negative five degrees.
No one noticed that a young lady wearing a pure white watertight suit had swiftly climbed over a 3.28-meter-high metal net and, using the dim moonlight, had quietly entered this prison known as the "sins cage".
The young lady was called He Xi. At the tender age of nineteen, she had already become one of the top killers in the underworld, who would cause people to shiver in fear just by hearing her name.
One drop of the poison she came up with could destroy an entire city; her silver needle could resuscitate the dead and allow meat to grow on skeletons.
Impregnable fortresses in an average person"s eyes, to her, were just a slightly difficult game level.
An hour later, He Xi crossed the tightly-knitted laser wall and finally arrived in front of a normal-looking cell.
"He Xi, you really came to save me!" After the cell door opened, a young and handsome man rushed out and hugged her in surprise.
Feeling the slight tremble in the man"s body and his suffocating hug, He Xi"s stone-cold heart had a slight bit of warmth.
Her experiences from young had made He Xi cold and determined, but only this man—Leng Ye—was different to her.
The two of them were partners in the organization and had undergone the same training and finished the same missions. They supported each other when they met with the most difficult of obstacles; they were not lovers, but their friendship ran deeper than love.
He Xi hugged him gently and said softly, "We"re partners. If you"re in danger, how can I not come and save you?"
"He Xi! He Xi!" Leng Ye"s voice was coa.r.s.e and trembling as he refused to let loose of the hand that was grabbing her. "I really wish that I could be with you for the rest of my life, but what a pity…"
When He Xi wanted to ask him what the pity was, she suddenly felt excruciating sharp pain at her abdomen.
Instantly, she pushed Leng Ye away and walked back in a stagger as she looked at the knife in her abdomen in disbelief before looking at Leng Ye. "W… why…?"
Under the dim light, Leng Ye"s face was contorted; but there was a maniac smile on his face. "He Xi, it"s all your fault. Why don"t you want to love me and accept me as your man…? Since I can"t have you, I should just follow the organization"s orders and kill you!"
He Xi"s entire body shook in fear as she looked at the man"s eyes filled with pain and hatred.
Yes, she did not like Leng Ye and had rejected his proposal; in her eyes, Leng Ye was just her brother and her best partner. However, were the feelings between the two when they depended on each other fake? If he did not love her, then he had to kill her?
Besides, why did the organization want to eliminate her?
He Xi felt a suffocating numbness that spread from her wound. This dagger was dipped in poison! The poison would seal her throat and let her suffocate to death.
"Why… why does the organization want to kill me?" The crystal clear beads on He Xi"s forehead trickled down slowly, causing her pale face to look even prettier. "I have never done anything to betray the organization. Why on earth…?"
"It"s all because your destiny sucks." Leng Ye took a step forward and extended his hand to gently raise He Xi"s jaw. The current He Xi gave him the impression that she was gentle and harmless, causing his original l.u.s.tful heart to flutter. "Master Jasper predicted that you had a cursing power, and one day, you will bring upon a catastrophe that will harm the organization and even the world. The organization has given you many chances for you to contribute your power, but you refused. Hmph, do you think the organization will allow you to live on?"
He Xi shook in fear as if her entire body was stunned.
Just because of a swindler"s prophecy, they wanted to kill her.
Also, how many times did she save Leng Ye, who claimed that he loved her, during missions? Today, he had even cruelly brought her to h.e.l.l because of his own interests.
It was true that one could not believe anyone but oneself in this world.
He Xi pushed Leng Ye away with all her might and suddenly laughed crazily. "Just because you"re afraid that I"ll destroy the organization and the world, you want to kill me? Then all of you should open your d.a.m.ned eyes and see what kind of catastrophe my death will bring to the organization!"
Once she finished her sentence, He Xi suddenly pulled out the dagger from her abdomen and cruelly stabbed into her own heart.
Leng Ye was frightened by her actions, but when he realized that she just committed suicide, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Hmph, He Xi, you"re always so full of yourself. If you followed me earlier…"
Before Leng Ye could finish saying, there was suddenly a gigantic explosion by his ear. Next, he felt an excruciating pain of his entire body being ripped apart. Before he could scream, his four limbs broke into pieces; and he lost his chance of living.
The entire prison collapsed in a deafening explosion and became mere dust.
No one knew that He Xi had a portable s.p.a.ce in her body, and her physical body was the carrier for the s.p.a.ce. Once He Xi died, the s.p.a.ce would explode; and everything within a ten-mile radius would become even ground.
At the same time, the self-manufactured poison—"City Downfall"—He Xi saved in the s.p.a.ce would follow the explosion and silently incorporate into the air to be distributed around the world.
The so-called "City Downfall" meant that one drop of it could cause the downfall and the elimination of an entire city. This was the true curse and destruction.
