Looking at the petite and charming little girl before him, Li Ying felt no sense of caution.
He didn't even regard Ji Ruxue with any seriousness, though he was somewhat shocked that this little girl could control the entire Qingshui Farm.
But in his view, Ji Ruxue's main combat power lay with zombies, and if there were zombies around, then this girl would undoubtedly be a terrifying existence.
The key, though, was... there weren't any zombies inside the house for her to control.
A person whose talent ability involves controlling zombies, if there are no zombies nearby, is no different from an ordinary person in Li Ying's eyes.
"Heh, mere little girl, I don't believe you won't listen once I've got this knife against your neck?"
With a dagger in hand, Li Ying followed Ji Ruxue towards the bedroom.
But idealism is bountiful, reality is slender.
As Li Ying held the dagger in front of Ji Ruxue, he didn't realize that, despite thinking he was invisible, he had long been exposed before Ji Ruxue.
Just as his steel blade was about to descend on Ji Ruxue's neck, suddenly his whole body froze, unable to move.
"Hmm? What's going on?!"
Li Ying's actions suddenly froze, shock filling his eyes.
He felt an enormously powerful force acting on him, no matter how he struggled, he could not move an inch!
At that moment, Ji Ruxue, still playing with a doll on the couch, suddenly turned her head sharply towards Li Ying.
It was precisely she who had suddenly performed a time pause, causing Li Ying to freeze in place.
"How is this possible? Could she have discovered me?!"
Li Ying and Ji Ruxue's gaze clashed in mid-air, sending a chill down his spine.
He finally realized that this little girl wasn't as simple as he had thought.
The most important part was that this girl's ability was clearly to control zombies; why is his body now unable to move?!
Bang!
In Li Ying's surprised gaze, Ji Ruxue suddenly jumped up from her place, delivering a heavy blow that sent him flying.
As a third-stage Evolver, the terrifying power Ji Ruxue unleashed was hard for Li Ying, an Evolver, to withstand.
Although Ji Ruxue could directly kill this Evolver, she chose not to, merely knocking him unconscious.
She wanted to see whether the person feared death; if he did, then naturally there'd be no problem.
And after being knocked unconscious, Li Ying's invisibility ability naturally stopped functioning, his body exposed within the bedroom.
"As expected, an Evolver who awakened invisibility ability, no wonder he managed to bypass father's defenses and sneak in."
After the Blood Moon night shortly after the apocalypse erupted, Evolvers could awaken all sorts of bizarre abilities.
In Ji Ruxue's view, Evolvers like this who could become invisible were actually quite ordinary.
In her previous life, she had encountered many of these, and several invisibility Evolvers had died at Ji Ruxue's hands.
She considered such people not particularly rare; even Zhao Lin, who could resurrect, had appeared, so invisibility was not strange at all.
In the apocalypse, there were many powerful evolutionary abilities; invisibility ability users usually gather intel, collect various resources, etc.
After all, no matter how they evolve, it merely grants invisibility, not amplifying like other combat abilities.
Generally in the apocalypse, invisibility type Evolvers usually take on scout roles in survivor bases.
Though not outstanding in combat, they excel at gathering information.
"Should this guy be killed or not?"
Looking at Li Ying lying on the ground, visible and corporeal, Ji Ruxue frowned as she pondered how to deal with this intruder.
"Forget it, there's no one around who can be ordered around yet, count your lucky stars, I'll spare you this time!"
Energy flickered between Ji Ruxue's fingers, and with the swift motions of her fingers, she pressed on Li Ying's acupoints, keeping him immobilized and unable to speak.
Ji Ruxue searched her mind, then her lips curled into a cold smile.
"Soul Contract Technique!"
In her previous life, Ji Ruxue once, by chance, acquired this cultivation technique for signing life-and-death contracts with humans or other creatures in an Ancient Secret Realm.
Using powerful spiritual power, Ji Ruxue could bind others with life-and-death contracts, no matter how strong the opponent, they would be bound by her.
With a simple thought, she could control the opponent's life and death; with the life-and-death contract, there was no worry about betrayal from those subdued.
Energy within Ji Ruxue started to circulate continuously as she formed seals with both hands, then squeezed out a drop of blood from her fingertips.
The blood suspended in mid-air, and with the casting of the Soul Contract Technique, her pupils, black and white, seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The drop of blood in mid-air, with Ji Ruxue's energy gathering, slowly coagulated into a mysterious rune.
With a gentle point, Ji Ruxue directed that blood-red ancient rune towards Li Ying, which then seeped into his mind.
Now, having reached the third stage, Ji Ruxue's spiritual power was as vast as the ocean.
Her surging spiritual power rushed towards Li Ying, aiming to forcibly engrave this blood-red ancient rune in his mind.
Li Ying was about to instinctively resist, but before Ji Ruxue's overwhelming spiritual telekinesis, his measly mental defense was negligible, swiftly conquered by Ji Ruxue's own powerful spiritual power.
Although reborn, Ji Ruxue no longer wielded the formidable strength from her previous life, dealing with an ordinary evolver was still no problem.
She swiftly engraved the ancient, blood-red mark into Li Ying's mind.
Ji Ruxue's mouth curled into a cold smile; with the Soul Contract Technique, she could demand Li Ying's life anytime, anywhere.
Awakening slowly from unconsciousness, Li Ying found himself lying on the ground.
That little girl he thought he could easily deal with was now staring down at him from above.
In her black-and-white pupils, Li Ying sensed an unsettling aura.
Just as he was about to speak, he realized he was unable to move, not even speak; even his awakened invisibility talent was disabled.
And his dagger was now in Ji Ruxue's hand.
Playing with the dagger, Ji Ruxue said calmly: "Do you wish to live or die?"
