Chapter 51: The Use of the Black Crystal

“Teacher, this is not your fault!”

Busujima Saeko had entered Wei Ziqing’s room at some point and sat beside him. At this moment, she was wearing a maid outfit, which gave her usual cold demeanor a certain allure of a uniform.

Especially under the dim light, the flash of white on her slender body and her deep cleavage constantly emitted an inviting hormone.

Normally, seeing this scene would have made Wei Ziqing’s heart flutter, but at this moment, he was in no mood to appreciate it.

“I know!” Wei Ziqing slowly raised his head to look at Busujima Saeko’s familiar face, but his expression carried a hint of bitterness. “Saeko, let me ask you a question.”

“Hmm?” Busujima Saeko looked at Wei Ziqing, her eyes filled with a questioning look.

“Can you die?”

“Eh?” Busujima Saeko did not know why Wei Ziqing asked this, but after a brief hesitation, she nodded. “Perhaps. The zombies have already gained intelligence and are clearly continuing to evolve. Perhaps one day, I will be like Little Takashi and die at their hands!”

Listening to Busujima Saeko’s words, Wei Ziqing clenched his fists.

She was right. Today’s zombie leader had already reached the half-step First-Class realm. What came next?

It was inevitable that there would be First-Class, Peak, or perhaps even Postnatal Realm and Xiantian strength. If so, would he be able to resist?

Although the Nine Swords of Dugu were strong and could conquer all, could he hold out against a tide-like army of zombies?

“No, I absolutely cannot die. I must go back, for my parents and for Long’er!” He feared death because he could not afford to die!

At this moment, it seemed as if Wei Ziqing had made a decision.

He then took out the Black Crystal that had killed the zombie leader. When he produced the crystal, Busujima Saeko shuddered, looking at Wei Ziqing with a look of disbelief. “Teacher, this is…”

“It fell out of that zombie leader’s head. If I am not mistaken, it was definitely this crystal that gave them intelligence and power far beyond ordinary zombies!”

“May I see it?” Busujima Saeko swallowed her saliva. She possessed Psychic Power and could sense the temptation coming from the crystal!

“Alright!” He had originally intended to discuss this item with Busujima Saeko, as she was the only one with Psychic Power at the moment. Now that she asked, there was no reason to refuse, so he immediately handed the Black Crystal to Busujima Saeko.

However, the moment the Black Crystal touched Busujima Saeko, it suddenly melted quickly like a liquid and sank into the palm of her hand on its own.

“This is…” Wei Ziqing’s expression changed, but seeing Busujima Saeko close her eyes with a look of comfort, as if enjoying an orgasm, he suppressed his confusion and watched quietly.

When the crystal completely melted into Busujima Saeko’s body, she suddenly opened her eyes. Wei Ziqing clearly noticed that at this moment, a flash of black light seemed to flicker through Busujima Saeko’s eyes!

Not only that, he further discovered that the fluctuations of Psychic Power in Busujima Saeko’s body seemed to have strengthened a bit!

“Teacher, this… I feel like my strength has increased. Not only that, the unknown Psychic Power in my body seems to have strengthened as well. What is happening?”

Busujima Saeko’s face was full of surprise. This feeling was too incredible, as if she had taken some powerful supplement that made her feel lost in pleasure!

“So, this is the function of the Black Crystal? Not only can it give zombies intelligence, but it can also be absorbed to increase one’s physique and improve one’s Psychic Power!”

Psychic Power—during the past half year, Wei Ziqing had become familiar with it through Busujima Saeko!

It was a strange power, perhaps a form of Spiritual Power!

It could be stored by concentrating the body, energy, and spirit to briefly double one’s attack power. The only consequence was that this Psychic Power would dissipate, leaving the user in a state of weakness for a period of time!

Busujima Saeko had used it twice. The first time was when she encountered an onslaught by thugs under the cover of night. Back when she was still a Ronin, she used one sword to beat the adult thugs half to death!

The second time was during the national kendo tournament in the second year of high school. Relying on the strength of a Warrior, she defeated a Grandmaster-level opponent in one go and successfully won the championship!

Now, the Black Crystal could actually be absorbed by Busujima Saeko and could even enhance her Psychic Power. How could she not be incredibly excited?

“If the Psychic Power energy inside can be absorbed, does that mean I can actually absorb it too?” Wei Ziqing’s gaze became heated. He had always wondered how to cultivate Psychic Power, and now, he seemed to have found a shortcut!

That was to kill zombies and seize crystals!

Refine and absorb them to create a trump card for himself!

More importantly, Busujima Saeko had Psychic Power before the zombies appeared, which proved that the zombie mutation had a cause!

And the source might be the source of this Psychic Power!

Therefore, Wei Ziqing decided that he would go find this source to see exactly what caused Busujima Saeko to develop Psychic Power. If possible, he would seize this thing for himself!

This would make his three years spent in the Apocalypse worthwhile!

Wei Ziqing looked at Busujima Saeko and found that she was also clenching her fists with an eager and expectant look. He knew exactly what she was thinking.

He shook his head. “It is not the time. Let us first send Shizuka, Hirano, and the others back to the Takagi house. They have a fortress there that can protect their safety well!”

“I understand, Teacher!”

Hearing this, Busujima Saeko suppressed her excitement to kill zombies and seize Black Crystals and nodded. She also knew that sending them back was the priority!

After Busujima Saeko left, Wei Ziqing also began to rest.

The wild dance under the night of corpses and the death of Takashi had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted, and they fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because they had killed a zombie commander, the subsequent journey became relatively safe for the group.

Three days later, the group finally arrived at Takagi Saya’s home. Unlike the living hell outside, this place was a rare piece of pure land preserved in this world!

The long period of tension finally eased. The faces of Takagi, Miyamoto Rei, and others were filled with the relief of survivors.

Only occasionally would they think of Takashi, the one who was almost safe but lost his life because he saved Little Alice!

Everyone felt that the Takagi house was an iron-walled fortress that could protect them for the rest of their lives.

However, Wei Ziqing knew that this place would last for three years at most.

By then, electricity, food, research, and medical supplies would eventually run out. This place would also fall back into hell once again!

But Wei Ziqing did not concern himself with it. He had promised Takashi to deliver them safely to their destination, and after that, it was no longer his business!

As for himself, he would begin a new journey!
