"This is Jiang Bai, currently executing Mission 002. It's my third day since waking up after 1200 years. With the help of the Ninth Research Institute's Director, I've mastered the Human-type Sequence Ability [Interruption].

Through three days of training, I successfully released [Interruption] once. Clearly, compared to other Ability users, my Ability recovery speed is faster, my training is quicker, my skill release success rate is higher, and the effects are better..."

Jiang Bai recorded a simple account of these few days into a voice recorder.

This kind of recording was necessary. If there were other executors or inheritors of the Cicada Project, and they had a chance to obtain the voice recorder after Jiang Bai's failure, they might be able to learn from his experiences and lessons. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance it could be useful, Jiang Bai would still do it.

Finally, he said solemnly, "...Mission 002 is still ongoing."

After finishing, he pressed the button to end the recording and stretched.

In the three days since waking up, Jiang Bai had stayed in the Ninth Research Institute, focusing on training. In his spare time, he read various materials to increase his understanding of this world and quickly integrate into the world 1200 years later.

The fifth Mysterious Tide was far more dangerous than the first three!

Due to the terrible destructive power of the fourth Mysterious Tide, the world order had collapsed, and order no longer existed. Various defense bases were fighting their own battles, the wilderness had become extremely dangerous, and communication between them was difficult to achieve.

At the same time, within the defense bases, things were not calm either. Various Ability creatures could lose control and go berserk at any time, causing significant damage to people's lives and property.

Moreover, people who had mastered Abilities had lost their reverence for rules. Except for the most basic order, everything followed the most savage and primitive rules - might makes right.

This was an era where chaos and opportunity coexisted. Trying to complete Mission 002 in this era was harder than ascending to heaven.

For Jiang Bai, the most important thing right now was to enhance his own strength. He needed to have the ability to protect himself and survive in this chaotic world before he could have a chance to complete his mission.

Through visualization, he awakened the Sequence Ability [Interruption], and along with it, his originally sealed Ability also underwent a subtle change.

[Mandate of Heaven] and [Geographical Advantage] were still dormant, unable to exert any effect.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

The seal on [Human Harmony] had loosened slightly!

Since [Interruption] was a Human-type ability, the impact on the seal naturally prioritized unsealing the Human system.

Because of the effect of [Human Harmony], Jiang Bai's training was faster than other beginner Ability users!

Human-type Sequence Ability No.0 [Human Harmony]: The more Sequence Abilities one possesses, the faster the training speed and the stronger the effects of Sequence Abilities!

1200 years ago, Jiang Bai had [Human Harmony] at full capacity, which allowed him to gain 30 times the training speed and 30 times the Ability enhancement!

Now, Jiang Bai could only achieve 5 times the training speed and 5 times the effect enhancement, far from his peak.

After three days of training, Jiang Bai used [Interruption] for the first time, targeting the Director.

The Director was a Sky-type Ability user, with Sequence Ability No.11 [Heavenly Inquiry].

The effect of [Heavenly Inquiry], simply put:

The Director actively poses a question, and combining all the knowledge he has encountered, he ultimately obtains an answer.

This question can be simple or complex, consuming Ability based on the difficulty of the question.

The dictionary that the Director was always flipping through was considered his mysterious tool. When used in conjunction with [Heavenly Inquiry], it consumed less and provided more accurate answers.

This type of intelligence-based Sequence Ability, primarily for support, played a crucial role in combat.

In Ability user battles, the most important thing was intelligence. With sufficient intelligence, even a low-level Ability user had a chance to kill a high-level Ability user!

Ability users with [Heavenly Inquiry] were generally honored guests of various factions.

As for why the Director ended up in such a miserable situation, he didn't say, and Jiang Bai didn't ask.

To cooperate with Jiang Bai's experiment, the Director wrote a question on paper: 1+1=?

As he activated [Heavenly Inquiry], Jiang Bai activated [Interruption], attempting to interrupt it.

At first, the writing on the paper began to change, as if a number was about to appear.

"Interruption!"

With Jiang Bai's low shout, the ability activated!

His body trembled, and the Ability within him surged out, [Interruption] activated!

The Director could feel his Sequence Ability being interfered with.

To cooperate with Jiang Bai's experiment, the Director actively gave up resistance.

The writing on the paper blurred again, and after a brief chaos, a new answer appeared.

Three heads leaned in to look at this line:

'1+1=3'

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, "It worked?!"

The Director started scratching his head, "This..."

This seemed different from the [Interruption] he knew.

The phenomenon before him once again touched on his knowledge blind spot.

The proper [Interruption] should only interrupt.

Why did it not only successfully interrupt in Jiang Bai's hands, but also output an incorrect answer?

"I need to study this further."

Saying this, the Director took the paper and turned to enter the laboratory.

Shan Hongyi curiously asked, "Brother Jiang Bai, why do you have to shout out when using your Sequence Ability? Don't you find it embarrassing? Moreover, if you shout it out, won't the opponent know you're using a Sequence Ability and be on guard, greatly reducing its effectiveness?"

In Shan Hongyi's view, [Interruption] was most suitable for sneak attacks. Jiang Bai's approach was like tying his own hands, wasting the greatest advantage of [Interruption]. In a life-or-death battle, it could easily cost him his life.

The opponent originally didn't know Jiang Bai's Sequence Ability and wasn't on guard, but with this shout, they would know everything.

Jiang Bai said with a righteous face, "Battles should be fought fair and square, overwhelming the opponent head-on. If I dare to shout it out, it means I'm confident that even if the enemy is prepared, they will still be defeated!"

Seeing him so self-assured, the little loli was momentarily stunned.

Hiss—

Is this the legendary [Domineering] attitude?

She didn't expect Brother Jiang Bai to be such a tough and sunny person!

Shan Hongyi even felt a bit of pity that the sneaky Sequence Ability [Interruption] didn't match Jiang Bai's sunny disposition!

Jiang Bai's glorious image in Shan Hongyi's heart lasted less than half a minute.

The sunny and cheerful young man Jiang Bai gave a wicked smile and said,

"Besides, in battle, when I use [Interruption] for the first time and shout it out, the enemy will indeed be on guard. But if I don't shout when I use it the second time, it can achieve a sneak attack effect, twice the result with half the effort!

I can also shout 'Interruption!' without actually activating the Sequence Ability, keeping the opponent on edge.

In short, there aren't so many rules in a fight. Only those who survive have the right to talk, and what we need to do is find ways to survive, to survive by any means necessary!"

Shan Hongyi: ......

At this moment, she had a whole new understanding of Jiang Bai's sunny and cheerful nature.

Such a sneaky skill as Interruption indeed suits Jiang Bai...
