Boss’s Death Guide-Chapter 112 - Light Ability

Chapter 112 - Light Ability

Edited by Ruru

B City secure base now only had one television station. The content broadcasted could be received through television and watched through the large screens erected in secure bases for publicity purposes. The regular people of the secure base all basically watched the latter; after all, many did not have a television set, and even if they did, they didn’t have that much electricity to use.

Near a secure base’s dining hall was a large screen that had always been broadcasting the station’s content.

The new year had just passed and B City secure base had just hosted a New Year’s Gala which the television station frequently replayed these few days. Compared to the past whereby these performances probably would have been ridiculed, everyone now liked the performances’ liveliness and were very willing to watch them.

Liu Haishan was a survivor in B City secure base who couldn’t be any more ordinary. He woke up early in the morning and after exchanging the work points he earned from his job for two multi-grain biscuits in the canteen, saw that it was still early and stood at the canteen entrance to look at the large screen nearby.

On the large screen, there was a group of people in red dresses dancing and singing ‘Happy New Year’. He watched for a while and began singing along, suddenly unable to help himself from becoming extremely moved.

However, right at this time, the replay of the New Year’s Gala suddenly cut to another screen.

The secure base dispatched so many men to catch a few people? Liu Haishan curiously continued watching. The surrounding passersby also caught sight of it and stopped in their tracks as well.

Someone from the station was explaining that it turned out that the youth called Qi Jingchen was a dark ability user which was why the secure base wanted to capture him.

Liu Haishan didn’t have any particular feelings when seeing this but the people around him had begun discussing the matter. Most people felt that this Qi Jingchen should cooperate with the secure base.

Dark ability user ah… Who knows what he’ll become later? What if he ran off to hurt people?

Naturally, some people maintained an opposing opinion. A seventeen or eighteen year old girl said, “Even if that person’s ability is wrong, there’s no need to kill him ah? Mangas always draw it like that: some people were originally good when suddenly a prophecy said they were going to destroy the world. Everyone wanted to kill them, then they genuinely became a big BOSS.”

“What period is it now? You still have the time to think about mangas?” A companion beside the girl patted her shoulder. “We shouldn’t bother with a matter like this.”

“That person is Nie Yi’s lover ah. I previously had always envied him,” the original girl couldn’t resist saying.

“So what if you envied him? If he really has a dark ability, he might speed up the worsening of the environment and pollute the soil and water. Do you think he doesn’t deserve to die?” someone near them said.

The girl was taken aback, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“The secure base is still speaking reasonably. Nie Yi just has to hand over that guy, yet he keeps refusing. Perhaps that Qi Jingchen genuinely has a problem.” Seeing that the girl was a little uncomfortable, the companion spoke up.

The two exchanged a look and sighed. They were about to leave when unexpectedly, the situation onscreen abruptly began changing.

That Qi Jingchen had awakened!

Similar to the scenes in those CGI movies from before the apocalypse, a dazzling brilliance suddenly emerged from Qi Jingchen. The radiance even caused the sun to begin losing colour.

Regardless of whether it was Liu Haishan, the two girls, or the others watching the television there, their mouths fell open and their faces were dazed.

This is a dark ability? Impossible ba? This… is clearly a light ability!

“How handsome. It’s like the light saint in a game I played…” a man mumbled.

Previously, someone said that the energy on the zombie was darkness energy and this darkness energy was contaminating everything on earth, so everyone subconsciously hated the dark ability user. But if it was a light ability user ne?

A light ability user should be able to cleanse those contaminated soil and water, right? If they had a light ability user, wouldn’t the entire secure base become full of vitality?

As if verifying their thoughts, some things began appearing on the screen&#k2026;

Qi Jingchen stood beside Nie Yi, the brilliance on him gradually dissipating. Right at this time, everyone noticed the changes around him.

After Nie Yi brought him into this neighbourhood, they stopped near the flowerbeds below the residential building.

Now, food was in short supply and people of the secure base naturally thought up various ways to make food. Although many things couldn’t be planted during winter, there were still people who planted cold-resistant crops in the flowerbeds, and created a simple shed with slender bamboo rods and plastic films.

The simple shed was destroyed during the fight and the plants within were exposed to the air. They were all dried and yellowed without any life, and definitely wouldn’t survive.

However, after Qi Jingchen’s radiance fell on them, they unexpectedly became lively as if injected with vitality, the leaves even turning green.

This was simply a miracle!

Zhang Zihai saw this upon opening his eyes, but he didn’t know what he could say. He previously thought he would definitely die, but now ne? He was filled with energy, and his ability was recovering! And was even increasing!

Wait, his ability was increasing?

Zhang Zihai had just thought of this when he felt a stab of pain in his mind. The soft gummy ability nucleus in a level three ability user’s mind began oppressing his mind after his ability increased. If he did not compress it according to the ability cultivation method, this ability nucleus would grow larger and push his brain to ruin before finally leaving the ability user with nothing but death.

In their last life, several people had died because of this, but naturally there were some who survived— In their last life, this problem would be resolved if one ate the panacea that was popular among ability users in no small measure.

Naturally, Zhang Zihai had no clue about panacea or whatever, but he knew the ability cultivation method.

Enduring the pain caused by his ability growing in his mind, Zhang Zihai began compressing his ability nucleus. The gummy-shaped ability nucleus was compressed by him and ultimately turned into a ball shape, slowly hardening before turning into a round crystal.

This was an ability nucleus only level four ability users could possess; he had advanced!

Zhang Zihai’s eyes widened, his chest filled with excitement. When he looked at Qi Jingchen again, his gaze was especially complicated.

He had never despised Qi Jingchen, but had always thought Qi Jingchen was too dependent on Nie Yi. To him, Qi Jingchen’s everything came from Nie Yi.

But now, he wouldn’t ever think so— Qi Jingchen, truly was too fucking awesome!

Zhang Zihai had gained benefits and the others were the same. And the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly Nie Yi.

His injuries weren’t lighter than Zhang Zihai at all but they were fully healed now. Not only this, the sphere in his mind that had originally been a little squishy had already condensed into a crystal.

Noiselessly, he rose to level four.

“Qi Jingchen, what’s this ability of yours?” Shao Zhenglan couldn’t help but ask. Didn’t they say Qi Jingchen was a dark ability user? That was why they were ambushed…

“Boss?” Qi An was also a little stupefied. Where was the agreed dark ability? He was still waiting for Qi Jingchen to take him to massacre the whole place ne!

Qi Jingchen was honestly a little dumbfounded.

Anyone who was planning to take revenge after awakening to a dark ability, then suddenly realising that the ability he was awakening to wasn’t quite the same as he thought, would be a little stupefied.

His pre-awakening symptoms in this life were all the same as his last life, all the way until he began awakening, which was when he felt a little different. But he thought that this was probably the result of Nie Yi taking care of him too well…

But as a result ne, the dark ability he was supposed to awaken turned into light ability?

Qi Jingchen felt the ability nucleus in his mind. Aside from the colour, it could be said to be identical to the ability nucleus in his last life, so much that when it came to ability methods and whatnot, there was nowhere he wasn’t well-adapted to. His ability usage was the same as in his last life.

The familiar energy was flowing in his body, but the nature of this energy was completely opposite of what he once possessed.

Qi Jingchen absorbed some light energy with the method he used to absorb his surrounding dark energy in his last life. Very quickly, a light ball appeared in his palm, but… this light ball clearly couldn’t turn other people into zombies…

Qi Jingchen tossed the light ball to Nie Yi’s head. Sure enough, he saw Nie Yi’s face fill with pleasure.

In his last life, other people were afraid of being touched by his dark energy. Although his dark energy wouldn’t turn people into zombies because it was purer than the energy of zombies, it corroded people instead. But now?

Qi Jingchen was a little at a loss, but Yu Xuguang and the rest even more so.

Benefitting the most from Qi Jingchen’s radiance was undoubtedly the few beside him, but those surrounding them were also illuminated somewhat. And all those who came in contact had a feeling of relaxation all over their body.

The light shining on them made them feel too comfortable. Several of them had injuries, but after touching this brilliance, their injuries instantly recovered.

Now that the internet was so developed, many people had received various information. Among them was someone who once liked playing online games a lot and they couldn’t help but say, “This is an ultra-healerah…”

“Wasn’t he said to be a dark ability user? Why is it like this?”

“Why do we have to attack them?”

“Aren’t zombies dark-related? If Qi Jingchen is light, isn’t he able to purify zombies?”

Many people had begun whispering amongst themselves, while Zhao Chengqi and the others were looking at Yu Xuguang with ugly expressions.

Yu Xuguang solemnly said that Qi Jingchen was a dark ability user. Because of Yu Xuguang’s contributions and Nie Yi’s behaviour of refusing to hand over Qi Jingchen, they believed him and even thought that, once Qi Jingchen awakened, they wouldn’t hesitate to risk everything to murder this reborn demon.

But now ne? What was going on now?

The so-called reborn ‘dark lord’ had awakened to a light ability?

Their ambush this time had several casualties from Nie Yi and the others’ resistance and they had great losses, but as a result, they were returned with the enmity of a light ability user?

“You’re not the dark lord?” Yu Xuguang didn’t look at Zhao Chengqi and the rest but was staring closely at Qi Jingchen, unable to resist speaking up. Could it be that Qi Jingchen wasn’t the dark lord? Then who was he? In his last life, there wasn’t the existence of a light ability user at all.

Qi Jingchen glanced at Yu Xuguang and did not respond. Although those people were now stupefied by his ability, they were still surrounding them. He would be foolish if he were to admit himself as the dark lord.

Speaking of, honestly, he had always felt that this title ‘dark lord’ was very chuuni, but Qi An liked it, and Nie Yi also took the lead in calling him lord, so he no longer bothered with it…

“Who in the world are you?” Yu Xuguang asked.

Qi Jingchen still had not spoken when in the residential building nearby, Yao Mengzi’s face had turned ashen.

Qi Jingchen unexpectedly awakened as a light ability user… No wonder his flesh was so useful in their last life. It turned out that the ability he should have awakened to was light?

Previously the light energy emitted from Qi Jingchen’s side had made Yao Mengzi feel extremely uncomfortable. She blinked and turned to leave this place.

Since what Qi Jingchen had awakened to was a light ability, then his flesh was completely useless to her..

“We’re leaving right away,” Yao Mengzi said, leaving this place with the people with her while Yu Xuguang was still in a daze.

Her operation this time was a failure, but it wasn’t a great loss to her either— the Jiangnan coast region was her territory, and the people of B City weren’t their business.

Yao Mengzi arrived abruptly and left just as abruptly. And at this time, Qi Jingchen and the rest were still facing off against the people of B City secure base.

Yu Shuo saw this situation and was about to go crazy. “Yu Xuguang, why are you still asking them this? You’ve already offended them; do you think you can still remedy it?”

After speaking, he then looked at the two people from the television station. “You still aren’t closing the broadcast?”

The people holding the video camera were also shone on by the radiance emitted by Qi Jingchen when he awakened, and now was completely happy. Their impression of Qi Jingchen also improved, and they were conversely a little unwilling to turn off the camera. But they soon also realised that they unexpectedly broadcasted the secure base’s failed operation…

Their hearts turning cold, they instantly turned off the video camera.

The situation instantly became a deadlock.

Aside from a few people, no one from the secure base wanted to continue attacking. After all, Qi Jingchen’s ability was truly too useful during the apocalypse, yet it was impossible to stop halfway— Just a moment ago, they had even drove Qi Jingchen to desperate straits and even made Nie Yi nearly self-detonate.

Zhao Chengqi sighed, suddenly looking like he had aged several years. “Nie Yi, this is a misunderstanding. If you hadn’t resisted, if we knew that Qi Jingchen wasn’t a dark ability user sooner…”

“If we don’t resist, you won’t capture us, right?” Nie Yi smiled. He actually was able to understand the secure base’s method. If he was the one standing by Zhao Chengqi’s side, perhaps he would have made the same choice as well. After all, a reborn big Boss of darkness was truly dangerous.

But in the end, he wasn’t on Zhao Chengqi’s side. The person he cared about was Qi Jingchen.

“But who knows whether there’ll be some sort of panacea created after you capture him?” Nie Yi smiled at Yu Xuguang mockingly, then took Qi Jingchen’s hand.

Hearing the word ‘panacea’, Yu Xuguang was first a little doubtful, but soon his expression changed.

Panacea? Hearing Nie Yi’s words, the panacea was related to Qi Jingchen?

Qi Jingchen was a light ability user. The panacea was related to him, so was it possibly created by him? No, he simply never heard of the name Qi Jingchen in his last life…

Yu Xuguang’s thoughts were in chaos for a time. At this time, there was a sudden change in Nie Yi’s side.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen stood together hand in hand and were very close with the others. Then, all eight of them suddenly disappeared without a trace.

“Teleportation!” Someone exclaimed in surprise. What Yu Xuguang had said wasn’t completely fake. The child beside Nie Yi unexpectedly could teleport!

Teleportation ah! How useful was this ability? But they had already offended him!

“Hurry up and find them! Then give them an apology,” Zhao Chengqi said.

“We’ve already offended them, so isn’t apologising useless? Might as well…” Someone couldn’t help but say.

“Out of the question! Do you want to become humanity’s sinner?” Zhao Chengqi angrily said, then glared at Yu Xuguang.

At this time, all of them lost their goodwill towards Yu Xuguang.

And at the same time, Nie Yi and the others had suddenly thrown down a cafeteria door of B City secure base.
