Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 359 - 354: Space Isolation

Ji Ning’s words were like a splash of color suddenly injected into a black and white movie, instantly bringing the scene to life.

The most direct feeling came from Mantis; when he was almost suffocating under the pressure of the bigwigs in the room, suddenly the invisible pressure around him disappeared.

He wiped the fine sweat from his nose, looking at Ji Ning with eyes full of joy.

The fact that Ji Ning might have a spiritual ability was no secret among the upper echelons of the Hua Continent. It was only because his team leader was Fu Yuanxuan that he knew, but hearing Ji Ning admit it personally brought a feeling of relief.

Unlike Mantis’s heartfelt joy, the emotions of the others in the room were more complicated.

Despite their efforts to suppress any visible emotion on their faces.

Ji Ning knew well the nature of these people.

Her eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and she said coldly, "Minister Li knows."

With that, the strange atmosphere in the room completely dissolved.

"Cough cough cough... that’s great."

"We’ve never encountered such a tricky enemy before."

"Leader Ji, do you have a plan?"

Ji Ning didn’t keep them waiting long and got straight to the point, "I need to meet him alone."

"No way!"

"That’s too dangerous!"

"Yes, Leader Ji, if something happens to you, the top..."

Ji Ning raised her hand and motioned for the people in the room to be quiet.

"People who have cultivated to the sixteenth rank are not fools. He hasn’t exposed his identity yet because he’s afraid of being discovered. According to international conventions, his actions can warrant permanent detention or execution."

"But..."

"I’m going to meet him. Prepare a room without any listening devices for us."

Fu Yuanxuan noticed Ji Ning’s gaze on him and felt a chill, then said to Zhang Huaixin, "Chief, prepare it for her."

Zhang Huaixin was eager to refuse.

But Fu Yuanxuan added, "Leader Ji is confident she can control him."

"Base Head, the chief has given her the authority to act as she sees fit," Hei Wu, who had been unnoticed in the room, suddenly spoke up.

Zhang Huaixin finally agreed.

The pitch-black confinement room was suddenly opened from outside.

The glaring light made the man from the Outer Continent sitting by the wall raise his hand to block his eyes.

Against the light, he saw two fully armed soldiers enter through narrowed eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Behave yourself, come with us now."

The man from the Outer Continent appeared compliant, using his hand to support himself as he quickly stood up.

Yet there was a flash of murderous intent in his lowered eyes.

"Hurry up—"

The twenty escorts tightly surrounded him, afraid he might escape.

The man from the Outer Continent felt disdainful at heart but cooperated with their actions.

Yet as he walked, he increasingly noticed that the path was not leading towards the interrogation room, and a growing caution arose within him.

"Where are we going?" The man from the Outer Continent couldn’t help but ask.

But none of the soldiers around him answered.

The murderous intent in the man from the Outer Continent’s eyes grew stronger as he secretly gathered energy.

Until suddenly, a clear, cold female voice came from behind, "Don’t worry, it’s just ahead."

The man from the Outer Continent suddenly stopped and quickly turned his head.

When did she arrive?

Why hadn’t he noticed?

Ji Ning nodded slightly to him, walked to his side, and said in his native language, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."

The man from the Outer Continent’s pupils instantly contracted, the caution in his heart turned into shock, but he still had to maintain the persona of someone who didn’t understand his mother tongue.

"Alright, we’re here." Ji Ning said calmly, pointing to the empty field ahead.

The man from the Outer Continent looked in the direction she pointed, even more puzzled.

But the woman beside him had already walked past him and was the first to head towards the center of the field.

The soldiers who had been surrounding him closely arranged themselves at the edge of the field, not entering.

The man from the Outer Continent glanced around with his peripheral vision, seemingly understanding, and his expression relaxed considerably, a hint of arrogance rising in his eyes as he slowly walked towards the center of the field.

Looks like his identity has been revealed.

Ji Ning watched until he had walked far enough, then turned around, setting up a space isolation wall around the two of them.

"Originally, I wanted to find a vacant room without surveillance equipment, but those places are too crowded. It’s quieter here."

The man from the Outer Continent, hearing his familiar mother tongue, blurted out, "Who are you? Why do you know my tribe’s language?"

His mother tongue was very niche internationally, with few outside his locality learning it. That the woman in front of him knew it too made him feel a sense of kinship and softened his attitude towards Ji Ning somewhat.

"It was personally taught by your chief."

"You know the chief? You are also..."

"No."

The man from the Outer Continent’s hopeful eyes dimmed again, and caution rose in his heart once more.

His mother tribe was nearly gone.

And since escaping the tribe, he hadn’t returned for over a hundred years.

"Then who are you?"

"Ji Ning."

This name instantly changed the man’s expression, "What did you say? Say it again."

Ji Ning sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the man from the Outer Continent and smiled lightly, "You heard right, your old chief personally taught me your language."

"You..."

The man from the Outer Continent’s anger was suddenly replaced with shock, as if in disbelief, he scrutinized her up and down, carefully asking, "Are you her descendant?"

Ji Ning gave a soft smile but said nothing.

The man from the Outer Continent’s face turned pale, almost shrieking, "Impossible! You’re supposed to be dead already!"

"Did Joe Lane say so?" Ji Ning chuckled.

The man from the Outer Continent hesitated, then his expression turned as if he had been deceived, "He tricked me; how dare he trick me!"

"He made a deal with you, didn’t he? As long as you killed me, you’d work for him?"

The man from the Outer Continent, struck in a sensitive area, glared at Ji Ning with murderous eyes, "Even if he didn’t kill you 120 years ago, today I will kill you for the 218 people of my tribe!"

Back then, if it weren’t for the woman before him, his family and tribe wouldn’t have died.

Today, even at the cost of his life, he would make this damned woman pay with blood.

The power of a sixteenth rank superpower user in a state of rage was enough to destroy the Jiuming Mountain Base, but he was shocked to look down at his empty hands.

Enraged, he asked, "What did you do?"

Ji Ning smiled softly, pointing to the sky, "Space Isolation."

"What?"

"The energy used by Control Ability Users also exists in the heavens and earth. As long as you isolate this piece of the world, superpowers naturally cannot be used. Just like you, or me..." Ji Ning spread her hands, acting rather brashly.

The Sixteenth Rank superpower user, veins bulging, clenched his fist and charged towards Ji Ning quickly.

"You think I only know Control Ability?"

His iron-like fist swung fiercely at Ji Ning’s face, but it hit nothing, causing him to stagger forward several steps.

Ji Ning stood behind him and said indifferently, "Coincidence, so do I."

"You..."

The Sixteenth Rank superpower user gasped with rage, attacking several times, but each time was easily blocked and returned by Ji Ning.

Suppressing the energy in her body that was about to go on a rampage, Ji Ning panted slightly, "During wartime, for survival, casualties are inevitable. Can you say you’ve never killed anyone?"

"But you... you can’t..."

"I don’t have the habit of pit-killing prisoners."
