Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 191: Going to the Cemetery
This feeling is not good at all.
It’s like an invisible hand has been manipulating the whole situation.
Ji Ning’s expression was grim, but she wasn’t soone who would sit around waiting for doom.
If there’s a doubt, solve it; being soone’s puppet is not her style.
"You’ll be discharged in a few days and can go ho to recuperate," Ji Ning said to Ye Tong.
Ye Tong noticed her bad mood, guessing it was related to the person who had co to see her earlier.
However, she wasn’t a curious person, so she nodded obediently.
That night, Ye Tong completed the discharge procedures and returned to Mingfu Garden to recover.
She was very curious about the new roommate that suddenly appeared at ho.
Upon learning that she was an instructor at Anhe Middle School, she imdiately felt a sense of respect.
Ji Ning briefly explained a couple of things and left with her bag.
Huang Ying noticed the three people who were obviously in low spirits due to Ji Ning’s departure and was surprised at the influence Ji Ning had on them.
What surprised her more was that the three of them had tacitly not asked where Ji Ning was going.
This kind of relationship made her sowhat envious.
***
Mid to late November had already ushered in winter.
The temperature at Anhe dropped quickly, and the temperature difference between day and night was significant.
Heating had already started indoors, and outside, the ground was covered with a layer of crystalline white frost.
Ji Ning silently left Mingfu Garden and ca to a rundown street.
She passed through a narrow and long alley and ca to a dilapidated courtyard.
The house inside was very shabby, but there was a light on inside.
"Sister Ning..." You Le heard a noise outside the door, got up alertly to check, and upon seeing it was Ji Ning, quickly opened the door to let her in.
There was no heating inside, but You Le used a waste furnace to ignite scrap wood for warmth.
"Where’s the vehicle?"
"It’s out back. I found soone to buy it from out of town, no license plate. Guarantee no one knows its origin." You Le said with a bit of smugness, handing the keys to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning took the keys, thanked her, and prepared to leave.
You Le exclaid in surprise, "You’re leaving now?"
Ji Ning nodded slightly, "I’ll be out for a while, keep an eye on the school."
"Oh, okay."
In You Le’s envious gaze, Ji Ning rode her newly bought motorcycle and disappeared into the night.
In the biting cold wind.
A few people were sitting on a rooftop, next to a telescope, one person was observing, and the others were eating around takeaway bags.
Dinner was fast food without any soup, making it easy to eat.
Every now and then, so sounds ca through the earpiece, "Report ti 19:37, everything at the front gate is normal."
"Seventeen, take a break, who would go out at this ti of night? Eat sothing." One of them looked at the person using the telescope.
"Yeah, Seventeen, hurry and eat, check later. The person’s inside, they can’t run anywhere."
This person directly reached over to pull him away, stuffing the takeaway food into his hand.
Seventeen thought the sa too, it’s so late and so cold, that girl surely wouldn’t go out, so he took a break from his surveillance duties to eat the takeaway.
"Sigh, I wonder when this mission will end? I heard this one’s a three-system superpower user."
"More than three systems, heard from the Ye Family that this girl has four systems, plus a speed ability. It’s said the upper echelons are extrely pleased about this matter and are closely monitoring her movents."
"Heard about the Sun Liguo incident causing a stir these days?"
"The Sun Family?"
"Yeah, that’s him. Originally due to the Ye Family and Sun Family, the upper levels didn’t want to act so soon, but with this four-system superpower user, Sun Liguo was directly taken away by the Yellow Group. He didn’t even wake up."
"So ruthless? The Sun family truly has bad luck, choosing to offend a four-system superpower user."
"That’s not even the craziest part. According to the Yellow Group, when Sun Liguo was taken away, his whole body was as limp as noodles, with all his bones broken, basically ruined. This thod is even harsher than the Red Group’s."
"Can’t bla them, Sun Liguo decided to ss with the wrong person, got a taste of his own dicine this ti."
"Soone needs to teach these noble kids a lesson. Strutting around with their family background, looking down on everyone, finally, there’s soone who can put them in their place."
...
After eating, Seventeen returned to his post, although watching, his mind was drifting far away, four systems... he also aspired to beco a strong four-system user...
anwhile, the person he was thinking about was already riding the motorcycle at 200 km/h, bypassing their surveillance, heading out of the city.
The highway at night had no streetlights, aiding in concealing one’s identity.
Where Ji Ning intended to go wasn’t elsewhere, but her own graveyard at Jiuming Mountain.
Although she ca last ti, she hadn’t reached the summit.
Given the temperant of those three, if they haven’t seen her corpse, they would absolutely not build a grave for her, and even if they built one, it would be decades later, when they could no longer wait for her.
But a grave built at that ti would definitely contain so things they left behind, sothing all four of them agreed upon back then.
After getting off the expressway, Ji Ning didn’t take the Pan Mountain Road Fu Yuanxuan used to lead them up before.
Instead, she detoured to a steep foot of Jiuming Mountain, put her motorcycle away in space, looked up, and her pitch-black pupils beca deep again, her figure disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
The moonlight tonight was dim, with a hazy feeling from clouds veiling the moon.
The Jiuming Mountain soldiers guarding the periter of the graveyard felt particularly cold today, shivering involuntarily.
Just then, a whistle blew, signaling ti for a shift change.
The soldiers on duty had their tired eyes light up a bit when they saw a base truck slowly drive up, stopping at an open space not far away.
Over twenty young n jumped down orderly, lined up beside them, waiting for the shift change handover.
"The wind is strong on the mountain top tonight, hurry back and have so at soup, don’t catch a cold." The captain responsible for this area patted the nearest soldier, offering a warm reminder.
However, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled; he hadn’t encountered such strange weather in his over ten years here.
Jiuming Mountain is located inland; the surrounding peaks form a certain chain, and the temperature is relatively stable, certainly wouldn’t plumt as it did today.
Snow on its way?
anwhile, just a dozen ters away from them, Ji Ning riding the fierce wind easily flipped up the mountain top.
The chill around her expanded outward centered on her, and the nearby rocks were covered with a layer of white frost.
The suppression ring on Ji Ning’s wrist also lit up with a red light.
She didn’t care about it, brushed her palm, and the red light extinguished instantly.
To avoid attracting attention, Ji Ning quickly vaulted over the wall into the cetery.
There was a stretch of green lawn here, unaffected by the cold weather, still lush and almost covering the entire cetery.
In the center of the lawn stood a white stone tablet inscribed with several words: Ji Ning’s Tomb.
As well as the years of her birth and death.
The area before the tombstone had been swept clean, with no fallen leaves or dust.
Presumably cleaned by the Jiuming Mountain soldiers.
Ji Ning stood in front of her tombstone, watching for a few minutes, then approached the tombstone. Her fingertips slid over her own na, and sure enough, she found a rough protrusion on the Ji character.
