After midnight, the street was empty.

Only the streetlights quietly illuminated the way ahead.

In front of the convenience store, however, the atmosphere was tense and confrontational.

The air felt like a string stretched to its limit, ready to snap at any moment.

The leader looked at the seemingly small and calm young girl before him, his eyes full of wariness. He lowered his voice and threw a command to his subordinates: "First, figure out her abilities."

Hearing this, Yun Qiqi frowned, realizing something.

Before she could think further, the group had already rushed toward her.

They were all highly trained individuals, attacking with ruthless precision.

If it were an average girl, she would likely be scared stiff instantly.

However, in hand-to-hand combat, Yun Qiqi was adept and at ease.

Initially, she hadn’t planned to use her special abilities, but as the fight went on, she discovered the opponents weren’t ordinary people at all!

Their striking power and reaction speed... were very reminiscent of those she encountered in the lab, similar to people like Shi Yunshen.

The kind of individuals who, through modification and special training, were much more powerful than ordinary humans.

From the first exchange, she could tell they were different from typical assassins or mercenaries.

However, this group was much weaker than Shi Yunshen.

Confirming this, Yun Qiqi felt slightly uneasy, unwilling to entangle with them any further. She glanced around, saw no surveillance, and noted that the place was some distance from the convenience store and quite secluded.

She simply stopped her movements and stood firm.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her fingertips moved subtly, and she slowly raised her hand.

The magnetic field around her transformed instantly, as if an invisible force filled the air.

The group, whose movements were swift and vicious, suddenly slowed down as if someone pressed a slow-motion button on a movie.

Especially the two men closest to her—it was evident as their features began to distort with the air.

The rest of them showed shock and fear in their eyes, particularly the leader, who immediately ordered in English, "Shoot! Shoot now!"

A few who weren’t controlled reacted immediately, firing several bullets toward Yun Qiqi simultaneously.

Yet, more bizarrely, the bullets suspended mid-air, coming to a complete stop less than a meter from the young girl.

She stood motionless, her face, extraordinarily beautiful under the streetlight, remained calm, her eyes dark and profoundly deep.

It was as if she merely observed everything passively.

But all around her, things were suspended in mid-air.

Bullets, weapons, and the two who had just attacked her seemed to be lifted by an unknown force.

If someone passed by and saw this scene, they would surely think they’d seen a ghost.

The air seemed to congeal for a few seconds, and then Yun Qiqi suddenly tilted her head slightly.

The magnetic field around her relaxed, and the bullets clattered to the ground. The two strongmen also fell heavily, spitting blood.

Yun Qiqi tilted her head, looked at them, and said seriously, "You are too weak; capturing me is impossible."

The shock hadn’t faded from the leader’s eyes; upon hearing her words, he instead revealed an excited and cruel smile: "Is that so?"

The next moment, he suddenly vanished into thin air!

Yun Qiqi half-narrowed her eyes, sensing a hidden presence rapidly approaching, accompanied by a sense of danger.

The air behind her suddenly felt cold, as if there were movement.

Almost reflexively, she reached back, grabbing the leader’s body and, with a swift shoulder throw, slammed him hard to the ground.

With a bang, the ground shattered instantly.
