The cake was topped with small spherical chocolate bits, with a crispy outer layer and a gooey center, not overly sweet but with a faint bitterness.
Jin extended her delicate and slender tongue, using the tip to hook a chocolate ball, placing it in her mouth, crushing it with her front teeth, chewing slowly, and savoring it carefully.
The expression on her face was relatively calm. The blood-red light from outside shone into her eyes, making them truly look red.
Su Changxing applied ointment, asking, "How does it taste? It should be alright."
Jin took a big bite, consuming half the cake in one go. Chewing with a look of delight in her eyes, she mumbled:
"Delicious, the best food Iâve ever had."
She was eating hurriedly, finishing all the chocolate cake in one go, with cream on the corners of her mouth, as if someone was trying to take it from her.
The best?
Su Changxing hadnât expected Jin to rate the chocolate cake so highly. He had just tasted a bit and found it quite good.
Actually, just like that, he felt Jin wasnât too crazy, except for liking battles, killing, and destruction.
Well, there might indeed be some issues.
A long silence followed.
Su Changxing, while applying ointment, suddenly sensed that something was off. Jin shouldnât be this quiet. Looking up, his heart skipped a beat, his pupils suddenly constricting.
The Jin before him was gazing at him with a cold demeanor. Her aura had dramatically changed, becoming deeper and more reserved, with an unsettling presence surrounding her, calmly saying:
"Will your ointment work? Such severe injuries can easily lead to death."
Su Changxing was also in a state of confusion, feeling that Jin suddenly seemed like a different person entirely.
Itâs impossible for someone to undergo such a drastic change in such a short time.
Immediately, he noticed that Jinâs pupils were originally a translucent dark red, rather than being dyed by the red light, and her hair had subtly turned a pale reddish yellow.
Su Changxing didnât react much, maintaining composure, and said, "It has some use; you shouldnât die from it."
"Jin" pushed back the hair from her forehead, looking at Su Changxing with a playful smile between her brows, saying:
"Thatâs good; itâs best not to die."
Indeed, it wasnât the same person. No wonder Jin was eating the cake so eagerly just now······
Su Changxing made the judgment, placing a hand on the short knife on his chest, taking a deep breath, and said, "Youâre not Jin, are you? Is this a strengthened version of multiple personality disorder? Or who are you?"
"Jin" took out a phone and started operating it, her fingers sliding continuously over it. She licked the cream left on the corner of her mouth and said:
"I am and am not the same person as her. Itâs hard to explain······ Hmm, it really does taste good. I want to eat too."
Su Changxing felt a slight pressure from the otherâs gaze, a palpable strength, possibly stronger than Jin, and said with a restrained smile, "Of course, you can."
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, sensing that the other person didnât seem hostile, preparing to bring out another cake, but saw "Jin" without hesitation take his cake and take a small bite.

Midnight.
Because of the Blood Moon, Chenxi and his people remained stationed at the gathering point, cautiously avoiding going out.
Tian Xuehai looked at his phone, surprised, and said, "The Nun suddenly sent a message."
The hooded young man, resting nearby with his eyes closed, opened them and joked, "What a surprise. I almost thought the Nun was dead if she didnât message any longer."
Tian Xuehai looked towards the door, respectfully saying, "Nun, youâve finally come."
The young man jumped from his chair in shock, quickly saying, "Ha, Nun, I didnât mean it that way just now."
Then he saw no one outside the door and angrily said, "Old Tian, I trusted you, and you tricked me."
Tian Xuehai smiled and said, "I just wanted to see if you were scared of the Nun."
This guy had indeed been roughed up by the Nun last time, almost beaten to death. Indeed, the Nun shows no mercy.
The hooded young man shivered, saying, "Donât bring that up; I didnât expect the Nun to be so powerful, probably among the best of all Apocalypses."
Tian Xuehai nodded affirmatively, saying, "Probably······ The Nun said she might not make it before the Blood Moon and told us to figure things out ourselves."
The hooded young man thought for a moment and said, "Tell the Nun about Marquis Heiâs situation; since no one is leading, weâve already split into two factions."
Tian Xuehai sighed, "I mentioned it before, but it seems the Nun doesnât really care."
The hooded young man looked at the candle on the table, pondering, and said:
"I heard there seems to be an Extraordinary appearing over at Marquis Heiâs side, a Superpower User, not very strong initially, but he happened to become an Extraordinary first. Itâs said that after becoming an Extraordinary, his strength increased significantly."
This news caused quite a stir within Chenxi, but its authenticity was hard to verify, with the true situation covered up by Marquis Hei.
Tian Xuehai showed some subtle changes in his expression, whispering, "The strength of a Superpower User is largely determined by natural talent, but once they become an Extraordinary, the situation changes completely, allowing many changes."
The hooded young man smiled knowingly and said:
"I think becoming an Extraordinary isnât as hard as imagined; where thereâs one, thereâs another, but we need to get some information from their side."
No one truly wants to be under others. In Chenxi, Apocalypses represent the highest authority and wealth, even post-apocalypse.

Nearing dawn, the sky brightened as the red light flowed over the table like water.
"Jin" ate slowly, savoring the cakeâs taste meticulously while manipulating the phone, saying, "Youâve changed a lot, are you an Extraordinary now?"
Have we met before?
Su Changxing felt uncertain, estimating that he might have only met this person once, and it was through Jin.
Or perhaps they met in the real world?
But that didnât fit; due to his health, Su Changxing rarely went out and saw even fewer people.
Su Changxing took a big gulp of water, moistening his throat, and said, "Yes······ So, is your name still Jin?"
"Jin" looked up at him, showing a strange smile, and said, "Of course not, you can call me Xuan, or Shen Xuan."
Shen Xuan······
"Ha, at least this name is proper·····"
Su Changxing suddenly paused, sensing something was amiss. After pondering for a while, he displayed a look of surprise, instantly understanding something.
