Chapter 161: Crimson Flow

Chapter 161: Crimson Flow

Asia.

In the former Kitsune base.

A black-suited, white-haired man walked through the base, seemingly searching for something.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came through his earpiece.

“Avee, how is it?”

Avee touched his earpiece. “Nothing left, Queen. Everything that could be taken was destroyed.”

“Did you find any clues about ‘that person’?”

“No, none.”

“Queen, if that person really exists, the Kitsune wouldn’t have any reason not to use him. It’s highly likely he’s already dead.”

A woman’s voice came through the earpiece again.

“No, no, no. I’ve studied Zero for a long time. Based on his personality, he wouldn’t do that. Unless he was completely certain.”

“He kept 008 locked up for so long, and he didn’t even dissect 008. This proves it.”

“What should we do next, Queen?”

“No hurry. I’ll go see an old friend first.”

...

Asia, in a certain Western-style restaurant.

Avee entered a private room and saw a black-haired man in a suit, wearing ten rings, sitting there.

The man frowned upon seeing Avee.

“Why is it you? Where’s the Queen Bee?”

Avee sat down and placed his phone on the table.

He dialed a number, and a woman’s voice came through.

“Isn’t he the same as me, 005?” Her voice was calm, almost bored.

005 The Metallomorph chuckled. “You’re still so afraid of death, Vex.” His voice was laced with amusement. He knew her well, knew her weaknesses. He was playing with her. He enjoyed it.

“You know, I don’t kill women. And given our relationship, do you think I’d attack you?”

A woman’s voice came through the phone again.

“I wasn't the only one there. You were also present in the Sahara desert, watching Chino and the Kitsune fight.”

“This world is too dangerous now. A weak woman like me naturally doesn’t dare to show herself outside casually.”

The Metallomorph took out a cigarette and lit it. “Weak? Wasn’t the candy box in your hands?”

“You’ve been hiding for so long. I don’t believe you haven’t made any preparations, Vex. Why don’t we be straightforward? As long as you tell me the truth, I’ll play a big game with you.”

The voice on the phone was silent.

“If you had said that two months ago, I might have considered it, but not now.”

“I’ve already given the candy box to Lord Aurora. Of course, not just the candy box, but also other objects.”

The Metallomorph blew out a puff of smoke. “I don’t think so, Vex. If I’m not mistaken, Lord Aurora specifically allowed you to keep the candy box.”

“I believe you gave the other objects to Lord Aurora. But the candy box, it must be in your hands.”

“Honestly, if you don’t even trust me, then I’ll have to consider cooperating with the others.”

After a moment of silence, the woman’s voice came through again.

“Tell me your conditions. I’ll consider them.”

The Metallomorph smirked. “My conditions are simple. I heard that Kitsune has several types of metals. I want those metals.”

Queen Bee pondered. The Metallomorph wanted to team up with her to attack Kitsune. It was a risky gamble.

Because the Kitsune weren’t as easy to deal with as before.

Although the Kitsune was their common enemy, no one wanted to be the first to confront them.

After all, even Chino had lost. Attacking the Kitsune directly would be incredibly risky.

Just as Queen Bee was hesitating, The Metallomorph revealed more information. “I heard the Kitsune are targeting you.”

“Their next target is you. If you just sit and wait, you’ll end up like 002 and 008.”

“Since we’re going to fight sooner or later, why don’t we take the initiative?”

Queen Bee’s voice echoed again. “What about 001 and 003? I want to hear their opinions.”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Given 001 and 003’s personalities, they won’t participate. The Kitsune can’t do anything to them.”

“But we’re different.”

Containing 001 was the highest risk, facing all the monsters simultaneously. Unless she deliberately allowed herself to be captured, like the first time!

Leading the wolf into the house, letting someone seize the family fortune.

And 003 could move freely through any glass-like surface. No one could trap him, unless the world had no light.

So the Kitsune wouldn’t focus on them.

Queen Bee fell into thought, weighing the risks and rewards, assessing the possibilities, carefully considering her options. This was a dangerous game, a gamble, but the potential rewards were significant. She needed to make the right decision.

“001 won’t interfere. 002 is sealed. 003 is observing. 007, that fish, will never cooperate with me. 008 is contained. 009…”

“So, it seems it’s just the two of us.”

The Metallomorph chuckled. “On the bright side, if we can release 008, we’ll have another powerful ally.”

Queen Bee pondered. “The precondition is that we can succeed.”

“In the information I gathered, Kitsune had plans to deal with you. They probably still have countermeasures.”

“To deal with Kitsune, to deal with Zero, we need a trustworthy ally.”

“An ally, one that neither you nor Zero know.”

...

The Other Shore, inside the Old One’s Temple.

A massive stone statue suddenly appeared next to Chino’s statue.

The statue had no features, its form blurry, like a vaporous lifeform.

The faces simultaneously opened their eyes. “Awakening, awakening…”

“Another Great Old One…”

“That red stream stopped. When it soared into the clouds, its misty flesh fragments and the floating black water characters danced…”

In a rainforest in central Africa.

Several explorers were running through the rainforest. A giant chimpanzee was chasing them!

Several of them had already been killed by the chimpanzee’s punches!

“Fuck, why?!”

“I think it could lift a firetruck with one hand!”

The chimpanzee’s strength and size were terrifying, like a mutated creature!

Lately, these bizarre creatures had been appearing more and more frequently for some unknown reason.

One person was running when he tripped on a vine and fell!

“No, no!”

Splat!

The chimpanzee smashed the person’s head with one punch, then roared and continued chasing the others!

The explorers felt their strength waning, but at that moment, the sky suddenly turned blood red!

Hoo!

A large cloud of blood-red fog descended from the sky. One person’s eyes widened. “My god, what is this?”

The moment the red fog appeared, the tropical rainforest plants suddenly became highly active!

Vines swayed, leaves danced, like excited people waving their arms!

The chimpanzee stopped when it saw this!

The fleeing explorers quickly realized something was wrong.

“It’s afraid of that red fog?”

Even the mutated chimpanzee was afraid. What was that red fog?

Just as they were stunned, the red fog suddenly descended like a river!

It was like a waterfall, with clearly visible characters within it!

Facing the descending crimson flow, everyone instinctively covered their eyes. A giant, tall, red humanoid creature appeared in the fog!

From afar, it looked humanoid. Up close, it was terrifyingly large and seemed to lack a physical body!

It was almost a hundred meters tall, its body immense and slender, its fog-like body writhing like blood, like water.

Terrifying, disgusting, indescribable. The explorers couldn’t imagine how to describe this monster!

One person stared blankly, a vacant smile twisting his lips like a cultist. “Ha ha ha…”

“It’s it!”

“It’s here!”

“Hm?”

“What are you saying, George?”

“Ha ha ha, it’s it!!”

“It’s here!”

“Snap out of it, George!”

“I’m fine!”

“I’ve never been this clear-headed!”

“Come on, let’s go together!”

“Praise be, the Crimson Flow!”

...

The red mist spread through the rainforest, and the plants leaped and cheered.

Some vines burrowed into the corpses. Under the influence of the Crimson Flow, they opened their eyes. The corpses climbed up. They were zombies, but their bodies had plant-like features.

One person’s skin had completely turned into bark. Branches and roots intertwined on his face.

Another person’s back was covered in branches. New leaves grew on his hands.

They were zombies, but also tree people.

This was a monster called the Tree-man.

They were the Crimson Flow’s followers.

Whether alive or dead, their bodies were merged with plants, becoming immortal zombie tree people.

The enormous red figure extended a long, sharp hand and grabbed a tree person. An invisible voice seemed to come from the swirling mist.

“I want you to take root and sprout.”

“Let your roots invade the earth, until they spread throughout Africa, seizing the land.”

Then, the Crimson Flow crushed the tree person in its hand and slammed its body to the ground!

At the same time, roots rapidly spread underground, quickly connecting the plants in the rainforest!

Number 026: Crimson Flow.

Life Level: Lower 4th Step.

Secondary Trait (1): Mist-like body. The Crimson Flow has no physical body, so it can’t be physically attacked or affected. But it can interact with the physical world.

And when the Crimson Flow chooses to interact with the physical world, physical objects can attack or affect it.

Secondary Trait (2): Mother of Tree. The Crimson Flow’s red mist can grant plants super-activity, merging plants and creatures, transforming them into immortal zombie tree people.

Secondary Trait (3): Natural Summoning. The Crimson Flow can control the rapid growth of plants in the red mist and can freely control plants.

Secondary Trait (4): The Crimson Flow can refine nutrients from the flesh and blood of creatures, expanding its own mist or causing supernatural plant growth.

Known Weakness: An extra torch in the Old One’s Temple. It’s a sealing object, similar to the Golden Trident.

Effect on the World: New statues and items have appeared in the Old One’s Temple. Otherwise, nothing.

Assessment: A single potion resulted in a Lower 4th Step being. This is likely because it’s a compound derivative of 008, based on a 2nd Step life level.

...

In a desert base.

Zero sat in a wheelchair. A clone of himself sat opposite him.

The two sat on either side of a table, a large world map displayed on it.

Number 022: Demon (Second Evolution)

Life Level: Lower 3rd Step.

Secondary Trait (1): Otherworldly Vision. Can see any corner of the other world through his left eye.

Secondary Trait (2): Demon’s Hand. Can take any visible object, but the precondition is that Zero can lift it.

No matter the situation, even if someone is holding or using a machine to fix an object, the demon can still take it.

At the same time, Zero can also send things back.

But he’s not proficient in this sending ability. He can only roughly control the direction of the object, not the exact location.

This is why Zero threw the Trident to Reinhard.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to throw the Trident directly into the seal?

But this was still risky. Zero chose to throw the Trident to him because he’d noticed a secret about Reinhard.

He’s not an ordinary person. Zero wanted to gamble on his abilities.

But at that time, Zero had another plan, which was to simply throw the Trident down.

But as he said, he couldn’t control where the Trident would land. If he threw it into a wall, it would be truly over.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Zero’s clone stood up and pushed Zero’s wheelchair. “Don’t push yourself. I know how you feel. I have those memories.”

“Losing your legs, feeling like only half your body is left, half the world turning dark, losing your right arm, only your left arm can move.”

“You could rest. Let us clones follow the plan and replace you. You don’t need to do this.”

Zero’s remaining left eye was cloudy. “Otherworldly… hand… can’t… lose it…”

“I… will… step down… from my position… then… rely on you.”

Zero’s appearance was horrifying, half-dead. Even his clone felt a chill.

At this point, survival was the greatest suffering.

According to the plan, if Zero died, his clone would replace him.

But he was clinging to life. His clone probably understood his intentions. He wanted to leave his abilities to Kitsune.

If Zero died, the shortcut to mental power training would be cut off.

If the Right Hand couldn’t be rebuilt, the Kitsune’s power would be greatly reduced.

As long as Zero was alive, he couldn’t continue to command the Kitsune. He could only hand over command to his clone, while his real body completely withdrew from the scene.

If necessary, or if the Kitsune faced a life-or-death situation, Zero would make one final move.

As Kitsune’s final trump card.

The Vermin’s betrayal in the last operation made Zero realize something.

He couldn’t trust those people too much.

Even if 012, Master of Flesh, wasn’t bad, if he betrayed the organization, the Kitsune would collapse instantly.

On the other hand, the moment Zero died, 013 could control Zero’s clone to control Kitsune. He could do whatever he wanted.

So, Zero gradually decided to abandon the clone plan.

He planned to cultivate a new successor.

And Reinhard might be a good choice.

...

In the Sahara Desert.

Two wet figures suddenly appeared.

They were two old men with white hair. The two old men exchanged glances.

“Out?”

“Ha ha ha ha… We finally got out of your damned space!”

Swordsmith and Balance embraced each other. Tears streamed down their faces. They were overjoyed.

The reason was simple.

Since the battle with the Sea King, they’d been trapped in the Eight Trigrams space, unable to find a way out.

A group of Ancient Ones had been trapped with them.

Because they didn’t know where the path of life was, the two had waited until now.

During this time, when they were hungry, they ate the Ancient Ones’ flesh. It felt like eating crabs and sea urchins.

When they were thirsty, they threw corpses into the Water Gate, freezing them, then retrieving them and melting the ice to drink the water.

And to find the path of life, Swordsmith’s Blood Flesh chain swords were destroyed. They were almost completely broken.

“Next time, if we encounter this situation again, please just leave me outside. I’d rather fight it out than search for your path of life!”

...

Asia, in a ground-level building.

This was a former Kitsune base, still in use as an Asian support point.

Gluttony, an A-class personnel, waited for orders here when he didn’t receive any.

Gluttony was brushing his teeth in the public area. As one of only two surviving enhanced individuals, his life was very relaxed. He would go out when there was work, and stay when there wasn’t.

While brushing his teeth, his toothbrush was stained red with blood.

Gluttony was stunned. He rinsed his mouth and found that the blood was coming from his ivory, and not just one place!

“What’s going on?”

Gluttony wiped his mouth, but the blood kept flowing!

“What’s happening to me?”

Gluttony quickly covered his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly felt his brain tremble, and his whole body felt hot and itchy!

This feeling!

Destruction, destruction!

“Damn it… what’s going on?!”

“Why, why can’t I control myself?!”

...

Gluttony’s abnormality quickly caught the organization’s attention.

Regarding his condition, the researchers who were originally in charge of the candy box experiment gave an explanation. “His current situation is very similar to the person who ate two candy boxes at the time.”

“In the early stages, the person who ate two candy boxes started bleeding. Then, their teeth and hair fell out. They also showed a very high desire for destruction.”

“But Gluttony’s situation is a little different. His symptoms are currently limited to bleeding and mental instability.”

“This is a disease that will definitely occur after eating the candy, but the onset time varies from person to person.”

“And the more frequently you use your abilities, the faster the onset. We predicted this long ago.”

“Why wasn’t this reported earlier?!”

“We didn’t have time to report it earlier.”

“What about after that?!”

“After that, we lost the candy box. The experiment naturally ended.”

“Dr. Yun, who was in charge of this project, wrote a document about this disease. He called it Superpower Loss of Control.”

“Superpower Loss of Control?”

“Yes. Once they enter a state of Superpower Loss of Control, they will uncontrollably use their abilities. Their desires and extreme emotions will also reach their peak.”

“Isn’t there any cure?”

“Dr. Yun, who was in charge of this project, unfortunately died during the riot. We’re currently trying our best to find a cure.”

...

Asia.

In an underground bunker.

A group of men and women were working in an orderly manner, their movements precise and efficient, like machines.

In a laboratory, a group of people in white coats were communicating with a beautiful woman on a screen.

“Queen, we intercepted an encrypted message from Kitsune.”

The woman on the screen stretched. “Okay… tell me, what’s the content?”

“It’s about the candy box. Those who consume the candy will develop a disease called Superpower Loss of Control.”

“This disease will trigger a desire for destruction. The person’s emotions will become extreme. Their bodies will uncontrollably bleed.”

“But Queen, this report… seems like I wrote it.”

Queen Bee was surprised. “Oh, you wrote it? What’s your name?”

“My name is Zhang Yun. I was in charge of the candy box experiment.”

“…Interesting. Tell me, regarding this Superpower Loss of Control, what else did you discover?” Queen Bee asked.

Zhang Yunhua told Queen Bee everything he knew. Queen Bee fell into thought.

“Superpower Loss of Control…”

“Have any of our people experienced this?”

“Reporting, Queen, no.”

004 Queen Bee reclined on a large chair. Her ten thin, bone-like fingers tapped rhythmically, as if she was pondering something.

“Superpower Loss of Control…”

“My people haven’t experienced this. Their minds are enslaved, controlled by me. They don’t have independent emotions, so they won’t develop Superpower Loss of Control.”

“But whether or not physical symptoms can appear is still unclear. But this might not be bad news.”

Queen Bee smirked.

“I think I have a way to deal with Kitsune.”

“My children, go to the warehouse and get the candy. Find some people on the street. Let’s give them the candy.”

Superpower Loss of Control. Distribute candy to ordinary people, giving them superpowers.

Then, find a way to make them lose control. If this happens all over the world simultaneously, Kitsune will definitely react.

They will definitely send people to deal with those who have lost control.

This way, the Kitsune’s forces will be scattered across the world.

If there are enough people who lose control, Kitsune will be overwhelmed.

After that, it will be much easier for Queen Bee’s forces to attack Kitsune headquarters.

Why not use her worker bees as bait?

She had two reasons. Queen Bee had reached her limit in controlling people. She couldn’t control any more.

And these people all had their own jobs. Some were researchers, some were intelligence officers, some were in charge of logistics.

Her combat bees and guard bees were limited. Using them as bait would be wasteful.

It’s better to use unrelated people as bait.

Queen Bee wouldn’t lose anything. And she had plenty of candy in the warehouse.

“Queen, how many candy should we distribute?”

Hearing the worker bee’s question, Queen Bee estimated. “Distribute a hundred first. Don’t throw them all in one place. Cast a wide net, let Kitsune run around.”

“Ideally, they’ll be running for ten days or half a month. I don’t believe they can handle it.”

...

In Asia.

In a remote mountainous area.

A figure was running quickly, covering half a province in a short time, arriving at a no-hunting zone.

It was a creature whose upper body was human and lower body was a horse.

“Little errand boy delivered. Right on time!”

The Centaur dropped two bags on the ground. They were filled with fruits and vegetables.

Many forest animals came out. Seeing The Centaur, they all excitedly ran over and rolled around him.

The Centaur smiled at them. “It seems like you’ve grown a lot since I last saw you.”

“Do I feel like I’m hallucinating?”

It wasn’t The Centaur’s imagination. A golden-haired chimpanzee, nearly 1.8 meters tall, taller than a human, stood upright.

Is this normal?

But The Centaur didn’t care. Until, a gunshot suddenly echoed from afar.

Bang!

Hearing the gunshot, The Centaur’s expression instantly turned cold.

“You guys eat first. I’ll be right back.”

Then, The Centaur instantly disappeared!

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave erupted. A figure, like a rocket, shot through the trees like lightning!

...

On the other side of the mountain, a hunter in a leather jacket was aiming a shotgun at a rabbit.

“Damn… this rabbit is fast…”

The hunter stood up, about to move to another spot, when he heard a rumbling sound from beneath his feet!

Hm?

“Earthquake?”

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The rumbling sound grew louder. The hunter suddenly remembered something!

No, it didn’t feel like an earthquake!

This is!

“Kim, don’t go to the North Mountain. The North Mountain is cursed!”

“If you hear a rumbling sound, quickly find a geomantic spot.”

“Why?”

“This way, you might be able to bless your descendants after you die.”

“Ha ha, I don’t believe in curses.”

This was what another hunter had told him before. He didn’t believe it then, and nothing happened.

He’d successfully hunted a pheasant that time.

This time, he came again.

“I…”

As the hunter spoke, he turned his head. A pair of hooves suddenly appeared behind him!

Bang, splat!

Blood sprayed out!

The hunter’s body was instantly torn apart. His flesh and bones scattered everywhere, turning into a bloody mess.

He was kicked by The Centaur, who was running at high speed.

Bloody hooves landed. The Centaur’s expression was cold. A pack of wolves and tigers smelled the blood and ran over.

“Eat up. Don’t leave any scraps.”

...

In a bookstore in London.

Mei held a book in one hand and a pen in the other, constantly turning it. “Spiritual energy, superpowers, monsters… how should I assess this near future?”

Mei put the book down. It was a diary.

The Future Diary.

She saw a very interesting future, one that was very near.

“So, this step is correct.”

Mei looked up. She saw countless threads connecting to the sky, exactly twenty-five.

These were the fatelines of the twenty-five creations from 001 to 026.

Some fatelines were strong, difficult to break, no matter how hard Mei tried.

Like 002 Chino and his brother 026 Shino.

The Great Old Ones seemed to have a kind of unnatural immortality. They couldn’t die, they could only be sealed.

And all the Great Old Ones were like this.

These seals were extremely stable under normal circumstances, but they would all lose their effectiveness at a specific time.

And this specific time wasn’t really time, but a celestial alignment.

When nine major stars align and the constellations are in a specific position, the sealing power would be greatly reduced.

Nine Stars, celestial alignment. This was something Mei saw in her future diary.

But for some reason, the current world couldn’t achieve the Nine Stars alignment.

Mei suspected it was because a Great Old One was missing, or perhaps there weren’t enough Great Old Ones.

“The more seals, the weaker the seal. The fewer seals, the stronger the seal.”

“Interesting.”

“So, the Great Old One is a concept. As long as you reach the Great Old One level, your life level will not be lower than 4th Step.”

“Theoretically, reaching 4th Step doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a Great Old One, but a Great Old One is definitely 4th Step.”

“Unfortunately, this isn’t very useful.”

Mei suddenly shifted her gaze. She saw a round, young girl's face pressed against the window, desperately trying to get in.

Mei: “…”

Without seeing her face, Mei knew who it was.

The black-haired girl pressed her face against the glass. Her large eyes scanned the interior.

Then, the girl suddenly became excited!

“Master!”

Mei covered her face. 001 had come again.

Of course, saying “came again” wasn’t quite right. 001 could find Mei instinctively.

Click.

The library door opened. The girl’s figure flashed, instantly appearing before Mei. “I found you, Master!”

“I want to kill you!”

The girl looked like she was about to cry. She spread her arms, about to lunge at Mei, but Mei pointed a finger at her forehead.

“Go back.”

Hearing Mei’s words, the girl transformed into Raven and flew onto Mei’s shoulder.

“Master, that 002 fish was captured by the Kitsune!”

Mei’s expression remained unchanged. “I know. Because the thing that sealed him was what I threw away.”

“So, what do you think?”

Raven nervously preened her feathers. “Nothing, it’s just that… 002 made a deal with me, but he hasn’t kept his promise. Could you release him? We can seal him again after he keeps his promise?”

Mei swirled the pen in her hand. “Someone needs to be sealed there. Only then can I achieve the future I’ve planned.”

“He leaves, and you take his place?”

Raven instantly fell silent. “Then… forget it.”

“But Master, when can I return to your side? I haven’t had anything to do for a long time. I’m so bored, I’ve even been experiencing human life!”

001, as the first creation, had unique characteristics.

As Mei’s only close creation and pet, Mei’s attitude towards it was always very lenient.

After all, you can’t compare humans and pets.

At this moment, two stones suddenly rolled out from Raven’s feathers.

Thump, thump.

The two stones landed on the table. Mei picked them up.

One had a dragon pattern, the other a pig pattern.

Raven was about to speak when Mei suddenly said, “Dragon and Pig. The Rabbit was given to 002. The Goat, Snake, and Dog are with 004.”

“The rest are with 002.”

Raven blinked. “You know everything?”

Mei possessing a global perspective and the Future Diary, had a comprehensive grasp of various information factors.

Similarly, Mei had already predicted the outcome of the next conflict.

But she didn’t intervene or change the future. She let everything unfold as planned.

Because the outcome of this conflict would lead to something very interesting.

A chance to obtain a Great Heavenly Chapter without much effort.

As for 001, its existence wouldn’t change much in the future. It’s better to remove it from this sandbox.

“Since you’re so free, stay here and watch 024 for me.”

Hearing Mei’s words, 001 was a little confused. She transformed into a girl and appeared beside the counter. “What’s 024?”

Hearing the girl, a giant eye appeared on the library floor.

Mei pointed at the floor. “This library is 024.”

001 quickly lay down and tapped the floor. “So this library is alive? Hello, nice to meet you?”

The library didn’t respond. 001 looked up at Mei. “Master, is its intelligence too low to speak?”

024: ?

Although the great serpent couldn’t speak, it could hear.

001 excitedly ran around in the library.

She looked at everything, finding it all new and interesting. When she entered a room, she saw neatly arranged shelves.

The shelves displayed many Ancient Artifacts, with descriptions underneath.

“Master, what are these?”

Mei chuckled. “These are the goods. The books and Ancient Artifacts here can be borrowed. As long as the customer can pay the corresponding price.”

001 was a little confused. “Um… what kind of price?”

“Just a little something. Insignificant lives,” Mei said, slowly standing up.

She walked to the storage room and took out a torch.

The torch burned with a golden flame.

Mei had obtained this recently from the Old One’s Temple.

Theoretically, its function should be the same as the Trident, a key to sealing the Great Old Ones.

“As long as you pay the price, you can obtain anything here, including the key to sealing creations.”

“I’ve established a new set of rules. Under these rules, whether it’s reversing death or life evolution, everything has a price.”

...

In the Sahara Desert.

In a large factory, Reinhard was undergoing mental strength training with a group of new recruits.

“A watermelon… cut it in half with a knife…”

“Little flame, little flame…”

After the training, Reinhard felt like he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

If he chanted these while fighting, he might be able to make his opponent laugh to death without even attacking.

This is convenient.

Their instructor frowned at Reinhard’s expression.

“What’s wrong? Anything you want to say?”

“Nothing.”

Reinhard replied.

“Nothing? Speak up. Even if you don’t say it, I know what you want to say. We all have the same questions.”

Okay, it seems everyone agrees.

Although the incantations and mental power training mantras are unreliable, the effects are real.

At this moment, a middle-aged officer in a Crimson Right Hand uniform arrived.

His mental strength was extremely strong, showing signs of reaching the Advanced level.

“We, the Crimson Right Hand soldiers, are directly under the o5 council. Our current commander was severely injured in the last battle. Although he survived, he’s practically half-dead.”

“So, I’ll temporarily take over command. My name is Zhang Jingtong. I was here when Kitsune was founded. Because of some conflicts, I was transferred to the logistics department.”

“Now, I’ll command you.”

Jing took a deep breath. “This matter originated from me. Now, it’s my responsibility.”

“I brought back the candy box. This experiment started because of me.”

“Now, the candy box is in the hands of a monster. And our mission is to retrieve it.”

As Jing spoke, a B-class personnel rushed in.

“Commander Jing, we have important news.”

“Speak.”

“Lately, many superpowers have suddenly appeared around the world. They seem to have obtained their powers from the candy boxes.”

“How can you confirm this?”

“They… are all out of control.”

“What?”

“Doesn’t Superpower Loss of Control have a period?”

“Two possibilities.”

“One, these people obtained their powers long ago, and are now experiencing the onset of the disease.”

“Two, someone has a technology that can directly trigger Superpower Loss of Control!”

“…How many are there?”

“Currently, we know of about seventy-six!”

“So many? Confirmed that they’re all out of control?”

“Yes!”

“What did the Supreme Commander say?”

“Deploy the Crimson Right Hand.”

“They’ve only been training for a short time. Their mental strength isn’t even good. How are they supposed to handle this?!”

“Superpowered individuals are too dangerous. Regular troops can’t handle them. The Abyssal Infiltration Squad has just been formed and is still unstable. They haven’t engaged in real combat yet. Right now, only the Crimson Right Hand can act.”

“Give me some time.”

“Ten days at most.”

“Enough.”

...

Superpowered individuals suddenly appeared all over the world. After appearing, they became abnormally violent for some unknown reason!

They destroyed things and vented their desires, using their abilities to satisfy their desires.

And this wasn’t without reason.

Avee, carrying a black briefcase, walked on the street. Inside his briefcase were five test tubes and five candy.

The five test tubes were called Loss of Control Test Tubes.

Dr. Yun, who was originally in charge of the candy box experiment, received an order from Queen Bee to restart the candy box experiment.

But his goal this time was to create this potion.

He made a creature eat two candy, extracted their blood samples, and conducted numerous experiments to find the main cause of loss of control.

After another explosion and the deaths of over a hundred test subjects, Yun found the cause of Superpower Loss of Control.

It was a type of Dopamine cell mutation that caused structural collapse.

By extracting this Dopamine cell and injecting it into someone who had just eaten a candy, Superpower Loss of Control could be triggered in less than an hour!

And this Superpower Loss of Control was even more intense than normal Superpower Loss of Control!

Everyone who was injected, due to differences in ability usage, would die from body collapse in as little as two days.

Now, Avee was creating the final batch of uncontrolled individuals in Beiling City.

His choices were indiscriminate. Children and the elderly could all become his targets.

Avee walked on the street. He saw an apartment building.

Several children were playing in front of the building.

Among them was a boy. He was playing alone, no one was talking to him, no one was playing with him.

Avee walked to the boy. He was about to speak, but suddenly hesitated.

Seeing the boy’s face, Avee’s black briefcase fell to the ground.

He looked at the boy. His eyes trembled uncontrollably. “What’s your name?”

The boy lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he softly said two words.

“Yang Lin.”

Yang Lin…

Ugh!

Yang Lin!

Avee’s face twisted into a ferocious expression. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his brain had been split in two!

Avee’s breathing became rapid!

The boy, Yang Lin, raised his head at this moment.

He felt Avee’s voice was familiar, very familiar…

Seeing Avee’s face, Yang Lin was stunned.

“Dad?”

Yang Lin’s call caused bloodshot eyes to appear in Avee’s eyes!

He gritted his teeth. Veins bulged on his face. He bit his lip until it bled. His hands clutched his head, trembling violently!

“Aaah… no… it’s…”

A wave of dusty memories surged in Avee’s mind, but a force was suppressing them!

It was controlling Avee, and Avee couldn’t resist!

The more he tried to recall those memories, the more he resisted that force, the more pain he felt!

Finally, at a certain moment, Avee, like a madman, knocked the boy down!

Then, he opened his briefcase, taking out a candy and a vial of potion!

“Do it!” a voice urged.

Avee’s eyes were bloodshot. His breathing was rapid. Looking at the boy’s face, his heart felt like it was being sawed apart!

Seeing Avee’s ferocious expression, Yang Lin struggled to push him away. “You’re not my father! My father is a police officer! You’re not!”

Crack!

Avee squeezed the vial. His hand suddenly lost its strength.

Yang Lin took the opportunity to escape, leaving Avee kneeling on the ground, dazed.

“Who am I?”

“You are Avee, the Guard Bee.”

“I…”

“This is you. You only have this one identity.”

“I only… have this one identity.”
