Chapter 221: Chapter 220: Slapping the Apocalypse Reborn Woman 1
The soul that intruded this time was dressed in modern attire. Upon seeing the soul in modern clothes, Anning felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, but then her brows furrowed.
"What have you encountered?"
She asked the disheveled soul softly.
The flame of raging anger in the soul’s eyes made her appearance, beyond the disheveled state, seem even more resolute.
"I... have experienced all the suffering that one could possibly endure."
Her anger intensified as she spoke these words.
"I really don’t understand, I can’t figure it out, I clearly never offended Su Leqing, why did she treat me like that? Everything I went through seems to have been orchestrated by her, with premeditation to make me want, to want me, to want me to suffer those indignities, I really don’t understand, I must figure out the reason, I must take revenge on her, and I must properly take care of my nephew and niece, and never let them suffer like that again."
As the soul recounted her story bit by bit, Anning also came to understand the whole situation.
This soul was named Tang Anning. Tang Anning was born into a comfortable middle-class family; her father was a mid-level corporate executive, and her mother was a high school teacher. She also had an older brother who was many years her senior.
Logically speaking, Tang Anning should have had a happy life, but her days were composed of one hardship after another.
Tang Anning was the late-life daughter of Father Tang and Madam Tang. When she was born, her elder brother Tang Anqing was already close to seventeen or eighteen years old.
At that time, Madam Tang became pregnant unexpectedly and couldn’t bear to terminate the pregnancy, so she took the risk of a difficult birth and had Tang Anning.
Tang Anning was not yet five years old when Father Tang and Madam Tang perished in a car accident.
Tang Anqing was especially fond of his little sister and, though only in his twenties, took on the responsibility of raising her.
Fortunately, Father Tang and Madam Tang left a considerable fortune for the siblings, enough for Tang Anqing to raise Tang Anning until she was grown.
If that had been all, at least the siblings had each other for support and the comfort of family.
However, after Tang Anqing got married and had a pair of twin children, he and his wife were taken hostage by thugs while on their way to pick up friends at the airport and lost their lives during the turmoil.
At that time, Tang Anning was just a teenage girl.
She had to contain her fear of losing her brother and sister-in-law and also take on the responsibility of raising her nephew and niece.
She went to school during the day and took care of the nephew and niece at night; those were particularly tough years.
Nevertheless, Tang Anning never once complained. In her heart, her nephew and niece were her only family, and for them, no hardship was too great.
Tang Anning was a very outstanding individual. Despite taking on life’s burdens early on, she persevered and was admitted to Qing University’s Biology Department.
While at the university, she began researching biopharmaceuticals and achieved some results that were highly regarded by her professors.
Just as Tang Anning’s future looked bright, the apocalypse broke out.
And during the apocalypse, Tang Anning awakened her superpower. She desperately tried to survive with her nephew and niece.
To ensure a better life for her nephew and niece, she braved dangers and fought zombies at the forefront, earning Crystal Cores...
But, just when things were dire, Tang Anning found her fortunes taking a turn for the worse. Her accomplishments were being claimed by others, and she was betrayed by companions several times. During one mission, she was caught off guard and betrayed, losing the superpower she relied on to survive and was subsequently sold to the Red Light District of a base.
There she suffered all manner of indignities, but for the sake of her nephew and niece, she endured with gritted teeth.
Yet, despite her all-out efforts, her nephew and niece still died.
After the death of her nephew and niece, Tang Anning began to disguise herself and investigate who was behind the betrayal.
Later, she found out everything from a patron; it turned out that all of this had been arranged by a woman named Su Leqing.
Su Leqing, however, was the base leader’s woman, with power and resources, without any lack of food or drink, and bore no grudges against Tang Anning. Tang Anning didn’t understand why Su Leqing wanted to harm her or her nephew and niece.
She wanted revenge, but she was killed by Su Leqing just as she escaped.
Before she died, Tang Anning’s resentful energy soared to the skies, and due to her heavy resentfulness, it led her soul into the Nihility Space.
After hearing everything Tang Anning said, Anning furrowed her brows in contemplation for a moment: "Are these your only wishes? To clarify everything, take revenge on Su Leqing, and ensure your nephew and niece have a good life?"
"Um."
Tang Anning nodded: "Yes, I just want to live on well with my nephew and niece. Also, I want Su Leqing to live a life worse than death, to make her pay for her actions."
"As you wish."
Anning smiled, waved her hand, and the soul of Tang Anning disappeared.
Anning then sent An Xin to the time-space where Tang Anning had been.
When Anning opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifted into a meaningful smile.
So that’s how it is.
The answers Tang Anning had always sought but never found, Anning quickly made sense of them.
When Anning arrived, Tang Anning had already been admitted to Qing University and was recruited by a professor into the lab to help due to her excellent academic performance.
And coincidentally, Anning arrived when Tang Anning was so tired from experiments that she had fallen asleep.
She sifted through Tang Anning’s memories like this, and quickly found something suspicious.
Tang Anning had an ancestral bracelet passed down from Madam Tang, a family heirloom of her mother’s family, always given to the eldest daughter in the family, and this bracelet had recently gone missing.
Anning also learned from Tang Anning’s memory that Su Leqing was a Space Superpower User.
And just before Tang Anning died, she seemed to sense a familiar aura emanating from Su Leqing.
Putting all this together with Su Leqing’s every attempt to target Tang Anning, Anning deduced that the ancestral bracelet of Tang Anning must be a Space Spiritual Artifact, and for some reason, Su Leqing knew about it and by some means stole Tang Anning’s bracelet.
At the time of the apocalypse, Su Leqing used this bracelet to pose as a Space Superpower User.
Being a thief, naturally, she would want to kill the rightful owner of the bracelet, otherwise, how could she live in peace.
As for why Su Leqing knew Tang Anning’s bracelet was a Space Spiritual Artifact, Anning had some guesses, but she would wait to confirm them when she met Su Leqing.
Anning guessed that what Tang Anning really cared about most was her nephew and niece living well, and taking revenge on Su Leqing was secondary.
In this life, she was to take on the responsibility of raising the two children, and as long as she protected the children, her mission would be more than half complete.
If she neglected the two children because of her revenge on Su Leqing and that led to any mishap with the children, Tang Anning would likely harbor resentment and her resentful energy would become even denser.
With all matters sorted out, Anning had already planned what to do next.
She called out to An Xin: "An Xin, check where this body has been in the past few days, and also carefully investigate how her ancestral bracelet went missing."
"Okay, Ningning."
An Xin nodded obediently.
At this moment, she didn’t dare to joke with Anning.
Anning would check the cameras and other surveillance through the internet, while she tidied up and left the lab.
She now needed to go home; she needed to observe the twin nephew and niece.
