"I'll go by myself! Xiao Zhu, go back to sleep!"

Leng Yebai reached out and pulled Bai Xizhu back, gently pushing her towards the bus.

Leng Yebai pushed him with extreme caution, fearing he might be a victim of domestic violence.

The icy touch pressed against Leng Yebai's wrist, and Leng Yebai's body instantly stiffened.

He lowered his head, and a gleaming, cold dagger appeared.

Please rephrase your statement.

Bai Xizhu smiled innocently at Leng Yebai, her dark eyes glistening like those of a newborn fawn.

"I mean, it's fine if we go together."

Leng Yebai silently withdrew his hand from Bai Xizhu and gave her a forced smile.

"Good boy!"

Bai Xizhu put the dagger away and re-tied it to her leg.

Leng Yebai wiped his forehead again.

It's so hot!

Footsteps could be heard in the distance again; a patrolling team of superpowered individuals was approaching the area.

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance, and the two figures quickly left the place.

The Fire Phoenix Security Base is neither particularly large nor small.

Leng Yebai led Bai Xizhu to a building.

The building was very ordinary, with a dusty exterior and no one guarding the entrance.

From a distance, it was pitch black; none of the rooms had any lights on.

Bai Xizhu didn't know what this building was used for. She only knew that people occasionally came and went, and there was nothing inside, not even the most basic amenities.

Basically, it's an abandoned building.

Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu tiptoed into the building.

Bai Xizhu took out a dark pill from her pocket and handed it to Leng Yebai.

Without a second thought, Leng Yebai caught and ate it.

These are pills made by Bai Xizhu using the spiritual spring water from her spatial storage. They contain some common medicinal herbs that refresh the mind and clear the head.

The medicinal herbs were all grown in the space.

If this place truly had a connection to the research institute, they wouldn't have lost their powers so instantly.

The evil research institute has a drug that can suppress a part of the hypothalamus's function, which happens to be the part that controls superpowers.

That's why she and Leng Yebai had no power to resist in their previous lives.

Fortunately, she is a control-type ability user, so she cannot use her abilities, but she still has the ability to self-destruct.
