After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: I Could Have Just Turned Her to Ash

The moment she saw the state of Nerissa Sutton’s body, Nina Jacobs made a connection.

The wounds on Nerissa Sutton’s body were identical to the wounds on Keaton Sloan, whom she had killed several months ago.

Even down to the location and size.

Dawn Donovan’s expression changed instantly. ’How does Nina Jacobs know why I’m here?’

Seeing this, Ariadne Sterling, who was standing to the side, cleared his throat and said,

"Miss Jacobs, let’s just be direct."

"The victim was found dead in front of your home, and an examination of the wounds confirmed they were caused by a Fire Element Superpower."

"Do you have any questions about that?"

"I do. I suspect she didn’t die in front of my home,"

"But was moved there after she was already dead."

Nina Jacobs paused, then asked with a hint of disappointment,

"Or have you not yet determined where the primary crime scene is?"

"The primary crime scene..."

Ariadne Sterling was momentarily stumped.

But he recovered quickly and produced another photograph.

"Our investigation shows that nearly six months ago, you killed a member of the rescue team."

"His name was Keaton Sloan. Do you have any questions about that?"

"No,"

Nina Jacobs replied.

Ariadne Sterling’s spirits lifted. "Keaton Sloan’s cause of death was a single fatal blow from a Fire Element Superpower. The wound and cause of death are identical to Nerissa Sutton’s."

"How do you explain that?"

"We’re also aware that you had a verbal altercation with the victim, Nerissa Sutton, and even came close to disfiguring her."

"Could that be your motive for murder?"

Ariadne Sterling had clearly come prepared. His confidence grew as he spoke, but the woman before him, Nina Jacobs, remained perfectly composed.

"It’s precisely because they’re identical that it makes no sense,"

Nina Jacobs answered.

"What do you mean?"

Dawn Donovan didn’t understand what Nina Jacobs meant either.

Nina Jacobs looked at her and calmly reminded her, 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Six months ago, I was a Basic Level Superpower User."

"A Basic Level... Superpower User?"

Ariadne Sterling was not a Superpower User, so he didn’t grasp the meaning behind her words.

"The strength of a Superpower User’s attack is directly related to their own level. The stronger the Superpower, the greater the damage, and the manifestation is completely different."

From the moment she first saw the body, Nina Jacobs hadn’t worried about this at all.

She continued,

"My power level six months ago could not possibly be the same as it is now."

"After all, I am now an Intermediate Superpower User."

The damage from her Fire Element attacks now couldn’t possibly be the same as it was six months ago.

She had previously requested that the base keep her status as an Intermediate Superpower User confidential for the time being.

So, it was understandable that the two people before her didn’t know.

Dawn Donovan was still reeling from the shock of Nina Jacobs’s words.

’She’s already an Intermediate Superpower User?’

’In just six months?’

"But you could have suppressed your power to kill her. Can’t Superpower Users control the strength of their Superpowers?"

Ariadne Sterling asked, refusing to give up.

At this, Nina Jacobs let out a small laugh.

She glanced at the camera and said,

"Are you suggesting that I could have vaporized her, but instead, I deliberately suppressed my power to create a wound identical to the one from six months ago, and then placed her body at my doorstep?"

Nina Jacobs’s words made Ariadne Sterling’s jaw drop.

’Vaporized... her?’

He almost wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.

’How could someone talk about destroying a body and erasing all evidence so casually?’

Behind her, Wayne Warner was yawning repeatedly.

Remembering that Wayne Warner had accompanied her and hadn’t eaten yet, Nina Jacobs asked, "May I leave now?"

Dawn Donovan glanced at her watch and exchanged a look with Ariadne Sterling.

"Sorry, Miss Jacobs. Please wait here a little longer."

’A little longer?’

Nina Jacobs watched as the two of them left the room, not forgetting to lock the door behind them.

In other words, she was now locked in.
