Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Spatial Forbiddance Spell

After patiently listening to Nie Qi’s words, Su Xin smiled indifferently and commented:

“Your rhetoric isn’t very effective.”

“At least it doesn’t deceive me.”

“You make it sound like overthrowing the world order and making me the King of the World is a piece of cake. As if all I need to do is nod in agreement, and I’d be the King of the World the very next day, with everyone obeying my every command.”

“If it were that simple, I might agree. You should hurry up and make arrangements, but if you can’t accomplish this by tomorrow, your entire organization should come and see me with your heads in your hands, how about that?”

Nie Qi said, “Mr. Su, of course, it’s not that simple. After all, to overthrow the current world order, we have too many enemies to face. Relying solely on the Nirvana Association’s power might take a long time, which is why we need to cooperate with you.”

“Oh? Cooperation?”

Su Xin sneered with disdain: “So you still need me to exert a lot of effort to help you achieve this.”

“That’s ridiculous. You say becoming the King of the World would eliminate a lot of trouble for me, but to become the King, I’d have to expend a lot of effort helping you overthrow and establish a new order while guarding against your disobedience, intrigue, and open and secret conflicts.”

“Isn’t that even more troublesome?”

“What kind of homage is this? It’s just because you see I’m strong and want me to help you achieve your organizational ideals, right?”

Nie Qi smiled awkwardly:

“Mr. Su, you misunderstand. We definitely don’t mean that, actually, we…”

Su Xin raised his hand to interrupt him:

“Enough, I’m not interested in hearing your nonsense any longer. I’m not interested in any King of the World. I just want to kill some people now to avenge your attack on me. So, tell me, where is your headquarters?”

Nie Qi shook his head and sighed with a bit of regret, his expression turning indifferent:

“What a pity.”

As he spoke, he secretly pressed a button at a certain spot with his left hand hidden behind the table.

The next moment, blue electric sparks shot out from the chair Su Xin was sitting on, instantly coursing through his entire body.

Almost simultaneously, thick metal rings extended from the chair legs and armrests, quickly restraining his hands and legs while Su Xin was paralyzed by the electricity.

Of course, with the Purification Talisman on him, Su Xin was freed from paralysis once the electric shock stopped; moreover, even if paralyzed, it wouldn’t affect his Instant Teleportation. The reason he didn’t leave was simply to see what the other party intended to do.

He scoffed disdainfully, “With this, you think you can capture me?”

“Of course not.”

Nie Qi laughed too: “I know Mr. Su has the ability to teleport and it only requires a thought to activate, very fast.”

“But Mr. Su, why don’t you try and see if you can still teleport now?”

Su Xin cooperated willingly, wanting to understand what measures the other party had prepared against him. Pretending to fail teleportation, he looked shocked and asked:

“What’s going on?”

Seeing this, Nie Qi finally relaxed a bit, his expression now showing genuine relief rather than the feigned calm from before, and he laughed heartily:

“Haha! We’ve finally caught you!”

“You think we brought you here just to talk about cooperation, with no backup plan?”

“Haha! I can only say, you’re too naive! You think you can barg in anywhere and sit down without any vigilance, thinking no one in the world can do anything to you?”

“Let me tell you, there are at least hundreds or thousands of superpower users in this world, it’s not just your abilities that are formidable, others’ powers are just as impressive.”

“Moreover, you’re only feared because you rely on resurrection and teleportation abilities. As long as we suppress any of these, you’d be no better than the organization’s most ordinary members.”

“Now you can’t use teleportation, what good is resurrection? You’re still a prisoner.”

Seeing that the focus still hadn’t been addressed, Su Xin asked again, “You mean someone in your group can use a superpower to block my teleportation?”

Although Nie Qi was a bit overjoyed, he still remembered the basic principles of discretion; even at this time, he didn’t disclose any intelligence about superpowers, instead smiling broadly:

“You don’t need to worry about that. In any case, since you refuse to cooperate, you’ll just have to cooperate with our research from now on.”

“We’re really curious about how you manage to possess multiple superpowers. Normally, superpower users should only have one power.”

“Your teleportation ability and that damage transfer-like power should belong to the same superpower, right? Space transfer or something? It’s just that you’ve used it in two entirely different ways, making it seem like two different abilities?”

Su Xin smiled faintly, “Do you want to know? Then I’ll show you.”

“Do you want me to let you out? No…”

As Nie Qi was speaking, his eyes widened, and he froze because he saw Su Xin teleport away from the chair, appearing not far from his side.

“I don’t need you to release me.”

Su Xin smiled lightly, conjuring a short knife. After drawing the blade, he stabbed it fiercely into his left thigh, the blade nearly completely penetrating his leg.

Nie Qi let out a muffled groan, instinctively clutching his wounded left thigh.

But then Su Xin followed up with several more stabs until all four of Nie Qi’s limbs were pierced, making him sweat coldly and slump in the chair.

Compared to his physical injuries, the psychological blow left Nie Qi in despair and helplessness.

Su Xin looked at him calmly: “Can you see clearly now? Is this my space transfer ability?”

Nie Qi remained silent.

“Tell me, what methods do you have that make you think I can’t instantly teleport? Has someone here activated a space imprisonment superpower?”

“Not talking?”

“If you don’t talk, all of you will die here. But if you speak, if I’m in a good mood, there’s a chance I might let you live.”

“It’s your choice.”

Seeing that he still wouldn’t speak, Su Xin couldn’t be bothered to keep pressing him and simply closed his eyes, waiting three seconds to enter Stealth State.

It took only a few seconds for Su Xin to pierce holes in the hands and feet of everyone in the basement.

The reason for not killing these people was merely to find out who among them was a superpower user and test whether Damage Transfer could acquire the other’s ability.

If it worked, a space imprisonment type of ability could still be of some use to him.

Afterward, Su Xin effortlessly gathered all the injured people, except Nie Qi, and threw them together right outside Nie Qi’s room.

At this moment, everyone was so terrified by Su Xin’s sudden appearance that they were as silent as the grave, even though they had suffered quite severe injuries. None dared to scream recklessly.

“Tell me, who here is a superpower user?”

The group of people sitting paralyzed on the ground looked at each other, seemingly unaware of who among them was the superpower user.

“Not talking?”

“Then I will ask each one of you. Whoever can’t answer will die here.”

Su Xin walked to the person on the far left, slowly raised the knife in his hand, and looked at the person plainly, speaking one word at a time:

“Who is the superpower user?”

“I… I don’t know.”

Su Xin slashed fiercely at another person’s neck beside him, but the blade seemed to pass through a void, intersecting with the other’s neck. Instead, it was the man in front of Su Xin whose head flew up, with fresh blood spurting out.

The man who was suddenly chopped down by Su Xin was so frightened that he stiffened, unable to move.

Su Xin moved on to the second person.

“Who is the superpower user?”

“I don’t know. You can kill me.”

“Slice!”

Su Xin slashed again and then approached the third person.

This person evidently had less courage. Seeing Su Xin pointing the bloodstained knife tip at him, he trembled and quickly pointed to a spectacled young man in the corner of the crowd, hurriedly saying:

“I don’t know who it is, but if anyone here is a superpower user, it’s most likely him because his daily tasks are much easier than the rest of ours, and he rarely interacts with us. Occasionally, he exhibits some weird behaviors; I suspect he’s the superpower user arranged by Mr. Nie to hide among us.”

Su Xin looked in the direction he pointed.

Seeing this, the spectacled young man became somewhat flustered but did not refute the man’s words. After his lips twitched a few times, he lowered his head and fell silent.

“Speak for yourself. Are you a superpower user? If you are, I can let you live. If not, then you may die.”

“Yes.”

The spectacled young man hesitated only slightly before nodding in acknowledgment.

Given the chance to live, no one wishes to die.

From Su Xin’s previous attitude, it was clear that he hadn’t intended to kill him, or else he wouldn’t have bothered interrogating them one by one.

Since that’s the case, admitting it naturally carried no harm. There was a good chance that Su Xin was merely interested in his superpower and might want to recruit him.

Being with Su Xin wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Rather, it might be an immense opportunity.

Perhaps he could even convince Su Xin to join the Nirvana Association and become their superior, which would be immensely beneficial for the entire Nirvana Association.

“I’ll ask you all one final time. Is there anyone else here who is a superpower user?”

Still, no one responded.

Su Xin didn’t say anything further nor did he act against others but simply walked over, picked up the spectacled young man, and took him to another room. After throwing him down, he asked:

“What is your superpower?”

In order to demonstrate his value, the spectacled young man unhesitatingly revealed his superpower:

“My superpower, I named it Space Confinement. I can write some talismans in my own blood. As long as these blood talismans form a complete closed circuit, and then I activate the superpower, I can imprison the space surrounded by the blood talismans.”

“This confined space is like a locked room; without a key, outsiders cannot enter or exit and it’s challenging to break.”

“And the key to this confined space is another type of blood talisman that I create using my own blood.”
