Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 453 - 448: It’s More Fun to Take Her Away

In an ancient and elegant room, a young girl with a frail body was lying on a soft bed big enough for three people.

Judging by her appearance, she seemed about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her cheeks were somewhat sunken, but from the overall contour, she was a person with delicate features.

On the sofa facing the bed sat a woman with extraordinary charm. Her looks bore about seventy percent resemblance to the young girl on the bed, making them appear like mother and daughter.

However, the beautiful woman glanced at the young girl with a scrutinizing gaze, even somewhat disgusted.

"What do you mean the Commander can’t be trusted, we need a new Commander?" the beautiful woman asked in displeasure, wearing a headset.

Not knowing what was said inside, a flash of murderous intent crossed the beautiful woman’s eyes as she coldly said, "I disagree with this plan, nor will I allow her to sully the true Commander. Take her back to wherever you brought her from. If I’d known this was your plan, I would never have helped you."

As she was speaking, the young girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and in an instant, her whites were replaced by black pupils.

Her expression was somewhat confused, and after a few seconds of daze, she became instantly alert, leaping up from the bed like a beast, crouching on it, with her fingers together forming an attack stance.

But the beautiful woman on the sofa did not show any sign of tension, only glanced at her in disgust and continued her phone call.

"So what if she’s related to me by blood? I still don’t agree with this plan."

"If you insist on doing this, then I’ll have to let her die."

The beautiful woman’s gaze at the young girl was filled with killing intent, suddenly narrowing her eyes slightly, but the young girl reacted swiftly, dodging to the side nimbly, while her palms opened wide, sending an invisible force in the direction of the sofa.

Yet the beautiful woman didn’t even bother to get up and dodge, merely hooking her exquisite nails, which caused the young girl’s brain to sting sharply and her entire body to suddenly lose control.

Her face transformed dramatically, a hoarse voice emerging from her mouth.

"Who are you?"

The beautiful woman crossed her right leg over her left, sitting up straight with elegance, stating coldly, "In terms of biological relationship, you would be considered my niece."

The young girl was startled, bluntly stating, "Impossible. My parents have already been blown up."

The beautiful woman chuckled softly, "Were you also going to say that your surname is Ji, and you’re the head of the Hua Safety Zone?"

The young girl’s pupils expanded, a hint of astonishment crossing her face, as if she hadn’t expected the woman to know her identity.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly, pointing to her head, extending a slender jade-like finger, and wagging it at her.

"Your memories are all wrong. They implanted a chip into the back of your head and altered your memories with a Smart Brain. Although this can quickly create a Commander, fake is still fake. No matter how much you act, you are not her."

The young girl’s pupils hesitated for a moment, suddenly undergoing subtle changes, revealing a gaze that didn’t match her persona, "Madam, the Temporary Leader orders you to cooperate with the Ji Family Army here to transport more hosts to the West Continent."

The beautiful woman sneered, "I remember this host was reserved for me; why must we use it in advance?"

The young girl blinked, her expression somewhat eerie, "Madam, the current resources for hosts are tight, so the Temporary Leader suggests replacing the Commander with a Holy Daughter to seize the power of the three families."

"I disagree."

But the young girl started laughing, raising her finger in a gun-like gesture, "If you disagree, then you’ll have to die."

The beautiful woman’s expression went rigid, suddenly feeling a heat in her chest, as if she wouldn’t live to see the next second if she didn’t agree.

Her face, exquisite as though it would never age, finally showed fear, biting her teeth and glaring at the young girl before her, "What do I need to do?"

"Here is the list; remember to cooperate with them."

With the young girl’s voice, a piece of information appeared on the Smart Brain in the beautiful woman’s hand.

When she opened it, a beautiful and familiar face appeared before her eyes.

[Name: Ye Tong]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 19]

...

The beautiful woman’s pupils shook slightly, looking up at her in disbelief, "You want to take her away?"

The young girl tilted her head, smiling sweetly, "Of course, taking her away would be more fun..."

"Nonsense! Do you know who she is? Don’t drag me into your dying schemes."

"The Temporary Leader has already agreed, you need to comply~"

The beautiful woman, furious, had an extremely unpleasant expression, squeezing her words out through her teeth, "I remember she wasn’t on the initial list."

But the smile on the young girl’s face faded considerably, directly facing the beautiful woman, her voice carrying authority that could not be disobeyed.

"She was added later; if not for the Golden believers’ reminder, we wouldn’t have known her physical talents were so good."

"It’s perfect that you’re close to her, so I leave her to you."

"Don’t let her slip away."

"Lady Rose... "

On the other side.

Ji Ning emerged from the research institute with a pot of mutated plants in her arms.

This plant was the mutated lavender that could suppress her spiritual power.

Lavender is known as a "good remedy" for insomnia sufferers, its fragrance can eliminate tension, calm the liver, and suppress provocative and impulsive emotions. Unexpectedly, its mutated form not only could suppress spiritual power but also the ability of superpower users to control their superpowers.

It’s now the main ingredient in configuring advanced superpower inhibitors.

She asked Ye Xingming for a pot, and he was reluctant to give it up at first, but she snatched it by force.

"Zzz..."

Ji Ning’s Smart Brain suddenly vibrated, and as she looked down, it was a message from Ye Xingyan.

[Be careful recently, someone in the Ji Family Army wants your life.]

Ji Ning’s lips curled up slightly as she closed the Smart Brain screen.

Many want her dead, but she is still the one alive.

...

In the evening, Beijing carried the chill of early spring.

Blooming magnolias lined both sides of the road, draped in a layer of golden veil under the orange-yellow lights.

The road leading from the outer to the inner city was somewhat congested, related to the attack that had occurred during the day.

Now all the passages to the inner city were under strict scrutiny.

The radio in the car was broadcasting the evening news, with extensive coverage of the terrorist incident that occurred during the day. The host’s voice carried indignation, using stern words, rendering the news content somewhat sorrowful. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Listening to the cries and shouts of the people during the on-site interviews by reporters, Ji Ning felt a great deal of helplessness, but even more so a sense of suffocation.

She knew her three younger brothers wanted the Hua Continent people to remember her existence forever, but that was not what she wanted.

She was just an ordinary person trying to survive in a chaotic world.

She didn’t want to become anyone’s spiritual support.

...

"We’ve praised the Female War God for 120 years, yet today her statue was destroyed by extremists. This is not only a provocation to the people of Hua but a desecration of the Ji Ning spirit that has been passed down for a century. We will not accept such things! I urge the Huazhou Alliance government to immediately start an investigation and provide the public with the truth as soon as possible..."

"I request a public trial of the suspects, to provide everyone with the truth. Those who dare to destroy our Female War God must be prepared to face the wrath of the people."

"I’m more concerned about what he said that the Commander isn’t dead and we’ve all been deceived. I ask the Huazhou Alliance government to give us an answer. What does it mean that the Commander isn’t dead?"

...
