Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 214: Elijah's mind suddenly cleared up

Only by passing her test could one truly join the YLK Group!

And after joining, one would probably be under her surveillance all the time, and at the slightest sign of trouble, she would immediately take them down.

Like the people imprisoned on the second basement level!

Because she couldn't read Elijah's mind, she paid special attention to him, until now, when she finally laid her cards on the table!

"No way, you have to drink it, otherwise, how will I know you've really forgiven me?"

Wendy said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Uh... alright!"

Unable to refuse her enthusiasm, Elijah took the drink and gulped it down, then looked at Wendy, showing an expression as if to say,

"Satisfied now?"

But at that moment, Wendy had a very strange smile on her face.

"??"

Elijah sensed something was wrong, and just then, the drink he had consumed began to spread a peculiar energy throughout his body, attempting to reach his brain.

However, in the next moment, this energy was detected by Elijah's own energy, which immediately surrounded it.

The energy seemed to shiver in fear, staying still in Elijah's meridians, not daring to move!

When Elijah recognized the nature of this energy, he was so shocked that he couldn't control his expression.

Because that energy was none other than the "Seed of Consciousness"!

The same ability he possessed, the "Seed of Consciousness"!

"No wonder! No wonder!"

Elijah's mind suddenly cleared up!

Many gaps in his previous speculations about the YLK Group now made sense!

For instance, he had always wondered how the YLK Group ensured that its members remained calm and continued to follow Matthew even after learning they were consuming zombie meat, human flesh.

Were so many people really willing to abandon the moral boundaries of civilized society?

He had initially guessed that they were monitored through mind-reading!

But now it seemed clear, Matthew was using the Seed of Consciousness to implant hypnosis and control!

No wonder Hayden asked him if he had eaten or drunk anything in the hotel when they first met!

No wonder Hayden said Matthew possessed mind-reading abilities!

No wonder Hayden said Matthew was too terrifyingly powerful for him to stand a chance!

No wonder Hayden warned that if he didn't leave soon, he would have no more opportunities...

And why did Wendy repeatedly offer him drinks, even apologizing in a coquettish manner to make him drink?

All this was because Matthew had the same ability as him.

They wanted to implant the Seed of Consciousness in him!

Unfortunately for them, they never expected Elijah to have the same ability, and at a much higher level than Matthew's.

Elijah carefully observed Matthew's Seed of Consciousness, noting it was much weaker than his own.

Elijah confirmed that Matthew was not yet at the third level, but from his ability to seemingly mimic others' abilities, he should be a second-level ability user.

"What do you mean 'no wonder'?"

Wendy asked with a strange smile.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that the mutated zombie I encountered before, the reason I escaped death might be due to this ability I discovered today, thanks to you!"

Elijah said, multitasking.

The energy within him firmly controlled the external Seed of Consciousness but did not destroy it.

Because if he destroyed it, Matthew, the original owner of the Seed of Consciousness, would immediately notice.

Not only did Elijah not destroy it, but he also controlled it, allowing its power to extend outside his body, and soon, a familiar "consciousness thread" connected to the room Wendy had just visited!

Immediately, a stream of information flowed from there.

Elijah used his ability to block and translate the information, realizing that Matthew was attempting to hypnotize him.

Meanwhile, the door finally opened, and a greasy, plump middle-aged man walked out.

Elijah was shocked to recognize him!

It was none other than the man who had been eating at the same table with him these past few days.

"Gavin?!"

Elijah exclaimed in surprise, his mouth agape!

"Gavin, what are you doing here?"

Elijah was stunned, then quickly realized.

This guy was Matthew!

This insidious person had been pretending to be a newcomer to deceive him all along! Discover hidden stories at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

No wonder he was so eager to help him with meat and porridge. If Elijah had eaten or drunk it, he would have been implanted with the Seed of Consciousness long ago.

"This is the boss of our YLK Group!"

Wendy, thinking Elijah had been implanted with the Seed of Consciousness and was now controlled by Matthew, let down her guard and introduced him.

"Brother, sorry for keeping it from you these past few days. This was part of your test. Now that you've passed, you're one of us. Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Matthew, currently the head of the YLK Group!"

Matthew said with a cheerful smile.

"The head of YLK Group?"

Elijah played his role perfectly, showing his shock, then glanced at Kylie.

"Isn't YLK Group run by Kylie?"

Matthew walked over to Kylie with a smug look, putting his arm around her slender waist.

"Now Kylie is my woman, so it doesn't matter which of us is the boss!"

Kylie remained expressionless, neither resisting nor objecting.

"I see..."

Elijah couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Kylie.

She seemed like a wooden puppet, lacking the vibrancy of a normal person.

Elijah remembered Olivia's description of Kylie's feelings toward Matthew, suggesting Kylie shouldn't be so submissive to Matthew.

Additionally, the way Kylie looked at him felt wrong, like a predator ready to pounce, constantly preparing to hunt him.

But outwardly, she didn't appear threatening. The only notable difference was her striking beauty and aura, combined with a constant sense of pressure she exuded.

Kylie's state was definitely not right!

But Elijah had no time to delve into it now.

Although he controlled Matthew's Seed of Consciousness, making its outward behavior seem normal, it wouldn't withstand scrutiny.

If Matthew tried to mimic his ability, it would immediately give him away.

So, the urgent task was to lure Matthew out and either knock him out or kill him.

Now that Matthew had relaxed his guard and come out, thinking Elijah was under his control, it was a golden opportunity!

"Since you and Cousin Kylie are in that kind of relationship, calling you the boss makes sense!"

Elijah said, extending his hand.

"From now on, we're truly one family!"

Matthew, without a trace of suspicion and full of confidence in his ability, grasped Elijah's hand without any caution.

"Yes, one family! Elijah, your ability is very rare. You must work hard for the group in the future!"

"Of course!"

Elijah responded with a big smile.
