Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Aftermath

His expression was resolute, and his offer sounded genuine. He wasn’t joking or mocking her this time.

“Serve me?” Su Jiyai asked, her voice smooth but cautious. “And why would you do that?”

Jake let out a small breath, as though steadying himself.

“I don’t remember much about my past, but something about your story—about that vision—felt… real.

I need to know more. I need to find her. And if you’re capable of traveling between worlds, then maybe—just maybe—following you is my best chance of finding her again.”

Su Jiyai frowned. This was unexpected. She had spun a tale meant to manipulate Jake, yet now he was offering his loyalty in return.

“And you think I’ll just let you come along?” she asked, her tone teasing.

Jake’s eyes narrowed, though his tone was more composed.

“I’ve got nothing left to lose. And besides, I’m not asking for free passage. I’ll protect you. You can use my strength and my knowledge. I’ve been trained to fight, and I’m sure I can still be useful.”

Su Jiyai studied him for a long moment, considering his words.

Having Jake under her thumb could be useful, especially with the knowledge of the vampires and their attacks.

Finally, she gave a small nod. “Alright, Jake. You can come. But understand this—I lead. You follow.”

Jake nodded once, his expression serious. “Agreed.”

Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow.

Was Jake always so simple? Nope.

‘He is acting obediently so he can stab you in the back later.’ Su Jiyai reminded herself.

“Alright.” Su Jiyai nodded. “Then let’s go. But before that let me deal with people in the institute.”

Su Jiyai’s eyes darkened as she recalled the conversation she had with Jake earlier.

He had told her about the people in the institute—their dark secrets, their vile acts.

These weren’t just victims of circumstance. They were monsters in their own right.

According to Jake, the institute’s staff and soldiers had to kill their beloved person, to get admitted to the institute in the first place.

As for their cultivation, it evolved in an illegal way too. Su Jiyai saw with her own eyes sitting on a throne-like chair and wearing a metal helmet and liquid slowly poured through the pipes connected to the metal helmet.

The question is, if the superpower awakening formula has not been created yet, how can superpower cultivation increasing potion be invented by now?

From the zombie cores? Not possible. Some researchers had once tried to make cultivation increment potions but they just created a mutated version of the zombie virus instead.

So what was that liquid?

Jake knew the truth but he only told her that it involved killing. He refused to speak any other words after that.

I can’t leave them alive, Su Jiyai thought coldly. They need to pay for what they’ve done.

She had already decided on a fitting punishment for them—a way to make them repent, or at least suffer for their actions.

Maybe if she had met them before her encounter with Deimos, she might have shown mercy, but now…the more misery her world holds the more miserable she will be.

She will never let others mistreat her. Not when she was cleaning their ass and trying to save the world.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Su Jiyai turned her head slightly, raising an eyebrow.

The sound was soft, almost hesitant.

Without a word, Jake moved to the door and opened it, revealing a group of soldiers standing outside.

Their expressions were blank, their eyes glazed over as if they were in some kind of trance.

The soldiers stepped inside, moving mechanically as though they weren’t entirely in control of their bodies.

In unison, they held out a small object toward Su Jiyai. It was a device—a sleek, black remote-like thing with several buttons and a digital display.

Su Jiyai’s eyes gleamed as she recognized what it was. The controller.

With this, she could control every single person within the institute.

Their lives, their actions, everything—they were at her mercy. Jake mentioned this device in passing, explaining how the institute kept its employees in line.

The controller was the ultimate weapon of authority, able to manipulate not only the actions of those within its range but also their emotions, their thoughts.

With this, she could break them, and make them suffer for their crimes.

“Good,” she murmured, more to herself than to Jake or the soldiers. “This will make things easier.”

“These people,” she said softly, her eyes trailing back to the soldiers, “they think they can escape the consequences of their actions. They think because they’ve been controlled or coerced, they’re not responsible. But they made their choices. They killed, they betrayed. And now, they’ll answer for that.”

Jake remained silent, his gaze flickering between Su Jiyai and the remote in her hand.

“What are you going to do?” he asked quietly.

Su Jiyai’s smile didn’t falter.

“I’m going to make them repent,” she said simply. “I’ll make them remember every life they’ve taken, every sin they’ve committed. And I’ll make sure they feel the weight of it.”

Her thumb hovered over the first button.

She could trigger a simulation—one that would force the institute’s staff to relive the moments of their greatest crimes.

Over and over again, they would experience the pain and suffering of their victims, trapped in a loop of guilt and despair until they broke completely.

After dealing with the soldiers who might commit suicide or become a mental patient, Su Jiyai steals the blueprints in the laboratory, food ration as well as gold.

Yes.

The safety lock of the institute was loaded with gold. With almost no guilty Su Jiyai put in her system space.

Of course, she did it as discreetly as possible. She donned a sun proof cloak and passed it to Jake.

“Now we can leave.” Su Jiyai muttered.

[Host shall I commence the teleportation?]

“Yes.”

Whoosh.

The next second Su Jiyai found herself right outside the gate of her base. Jake was beside her.

However, what she didn’t expect to see was…Su Yun.
