"So, when will it end?"

Lu Xin was surrounded by noisy sounds, thinking gloomily.

In a world overwhelmed by emotions, he knew that things were not over, but he almost forgot to resist and just wanted to know when it would end.

He knew that at this time Kid was using all her strength to support another coming world.

Seeing his father's temper, he didn't give in at all for the first time. He used all his strength to fight against the power of the Beginning. At the same time, in order to improve his spiritual power more efficiently, the deep night was mixed with endless fear. He loudly rebuked the residents of Black Marsh City: "Cry, you fucking cry for me. The harder you cry, the more likely you are to survive..."

He saw Qinggang's electromagnetic gun, aiming it at the sky and blasting out feeble rays of light.

I saw Gecko, who was desperately trying to propose to Linda for the last time before the end, was kicked to the ground...

He saw that everyone in the world was in despair and confusion, and he found a rare calm and looked up at the sky.

He knew that he should stand up at this time, cheer up, and stop Old Director's crazy plan.

Let this world become what it should be.

He knows all these things...

Who doesn't understand?

However, at this time, it was like ten thousand electric saws were ringing in his mind, cutting steel.

The chaotic mental power was like countless steel needles, piercing into his brain one by one and never stopping.

He had managed to raise his hand and reached in the direction of Kid, wanting to help her.

However, the black particles around him followed another will and quietly rose up, like a black palm, gently pressing down Lu Xin's outstretched arm, and then rushed to the other end with surging despair.

Lu Xin is powerless to stop it.

Because his power comes from black particles. Without the black particles, he is just an ordinary person.

Just like many people in this world, stripped of their identity, name, status, family, and friends, he will suddenly discover one night that he is just such a weak consciousness. He is nothing without this society. "Self" is just a small point, imprisoned in a mental cage, allowing himself to be ravaged and tortured by emotions.

What can I do?

The city is so huge, with huge crowds and bright street lights.

This little bit of consciousness I have can't even match the light of a street lamp in this city.

This is a kind of truth and a kind of despair.

Therefore, in this deep despair, Lu Xin even began to hope that everything would end soon.

The long-lost endless pressure once again enveloped me.

In fact, either because I have found my true self, or because I have Sole Consciousness, I am actually more awake than before, feeling all the pressure soberly, and carefully feeling how they cannibalize my will.

I thought that after so many years of hard searching, I had the confidence to fight against this despair, but in the end it was just a joke.

Otherwise, stop resisting, even if some people laugh at you for being weak.

But the feeling of carrying these things is so tiring that every breath feels like a burden.

Therefore, some people may laugh at themselves for giving up, some may look down on themselves, or some may pretend to understand themselves very well, and arrogantly spit on themselves saying that they shouldn't do this or that, as if they are very powerful and smart.

Who the hell doesn't understand?

There is only one thing those people should understand, they are just lucky.

Because I am lucky, I have never encountered such a thing or experienced such a feeling of despair.

It's like, I am such a person to begin with, why did God's wrath hit me in the first place?

The eyelids became heavy, as if they were trying to draw a curtain over the world.

"Big monster..."

But just when the world in Lu Xin's eyes was about to fall into darkness, a hallucination suddenly rang out among the noisy chainsaws around him. This made Lu Xin's eyelids move, and he suddenly thought of Little Nineteen, he wanted to work hard to find Little Nineteen, because he suddenly remembered that he had promised Little Nineteen before that he would definitely take her away from that place and this nightmare.

Little Nineteen doesn't know where it is, but she must be very scared now.

"Child..."

He heard the kind call and saw Mom looking at him tenderly, as if he believed that he could bring hope.

"No. 9..."

He heard his companions in the orphanage calling him softly because he owed them.

"Wake up..."

He saw Kid grabbing his arm and shaking it gently, as helpless as a little girl frightened by the crowd.

All these sounds made it impossible for him to truly close his eyes.

Just like the Beginning in the abyss, death is always unreliable.

"Are you still holding on?"

In a kind of spiritual power intertwined into an ocean, everyone began to blend together because of this sacrifice, and at a level where they could perceive each other, Old Director turned his head slightly. He looked in the direction of Lu Xin through the spiritual world, and shook his head slightly. He had calculated in advance how much pressure God particle's loss of control would bring to people's consciousness. Unexpectedly, he still persisted.

"Every second of this level of torture is a mental punishment..."

"Why are you so stubborn, kid..."

Old Director shook his head slightly and looked at the civilization that had begun to come to this world.

"The sacrifice is already halfway through, it's useless..."

"..."

But during the time he thought was useless, Lu Xin still persisted in this useless struggle.

The calls were not so clear in the chaotic and noisy sound, but he could always hear them.

As long as I can hear it, I feel nostalgic and it is always difficult to close my eyes.

Until, suddenly, there was an unusually clear call that suppressed all the noise:

"Brother..."

"..."

Suddenly, Lu Xin opened his eyes suddenly, and felt that the black tide above his head seemed to disappear in an instant. The noise in his ears also disappeared at this moment. His ears and mind were empty, except for the unusually clear call just now, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. The lingering sound of the call was still in his ears, Sisi slowly hovering...

"That's..."

It seemed that it was only at this moment that air poured into Lu Xin's chest again, dispelling the feeling of suffocation.

Lu Xin didn't know if it was true or not, but looked around nervously.

"Brother..."

Another call sounded, this time clearer.

Lu Xin saw that the out-of-control black particles around him suddenly separated to both sides, like a mosquito net being pulled aside, and then he saw a small head drill in front of him, with a nervous and slightly proud smile on its ugly little face.

It's my sister.

Just like every time before, my sister suddenly appeared and crawled to Lu Xin's side.

"Sister..."

Huge surprise filled Lu Xin's chest, and he screamed subconsciously, almost crying in his voice.

"Brother, why are you crying?"

The younger sister opened her two little hands and crawled towards Lu Xin.

At the same time, Lu Xin also violently shook the spiritual power around him. Black particles, like flying thoughts, suddenly flowed back to his body quickly. This movement shook almost the entire altar. At the same time, Old Director turned around fiercely. He saw the small figure crawling towards Lu Xin with a slightly startled expression.

"How is this possible?"

When such thoughts arose, he suddenly raised his gun and hit the small figure with a "bang" sound.

The figure disappeared in front of Lu Xin again, like a bubble.

However, this time, before he even had time to feel sad, more shouts suddenly rang out from around him:

"Brother..."

"Brother..."

"Iron cock..."

"Big idiot..."

"I like to see long-legged old perverts..."

"..."

In the chaotic mental turbulence around them, little white skirts appeared one after another, crawling up and down, twisting and swinging, and different sisters approached Lu Xin one by one. Some had branch-like limbs growing on their bodies, some looked like a little spider with a tiger head, some were fat like a meat ball with facial features, and some were crawling in the air like an earthworm.

The surroundings were full of little sisters, quickly crawling towards Lu Xin.

The number was so large that even Old Director was stunned, and the hand holding the gun began to tremble slightly.

Calm and wise, he felt clumsy for the first time. He still held the gun in his hand, but he didn't know where to shoot.

"Brother, your butt is on fire and you are still crying here..."

Countless sisters crawled towards Lu Xin, fearful and clumsy, and hugged Lu Xin's neck. Among these sisters, there was finally one who climbed the fastest. She rushed out of the crowd with great effort, climbed to Lu Xin, and hugged his neck.

Then, he started complaining immediately.

"You don't care about me anymore, you don't even know if I'm following you..."

"Your eyes are full of money and wife..."

"He has already broken many of my toys. Please hurry up and ask him to compensate me..."

"..."

The familiar unreasonableness and petty arrogance sounded in Lu Xin's ears, making Lu Xin almost dizzy with happiness.

When his sister's cold little hands came into contact with his skin, Lu Xin's mind suddenly became clearer than ever before, and he suddenly understood the problem. This made him giggle loudly, almost regardless of his image, and wanted to show off.

Yes, this is my sister, my real sister.

Old Director did kill his sister just now, but he didn't understand her.

Old Director, who seems to know everything, can't really account for everything.

My sister is indeed shaped by her own consciousness and spiritual power.

However, my sister has her own thoughts and consciousness, and she even has her own little ambitions.

She is indeed his other personality, so according to Old Director's understanding, as long as the consciousness of this personality is eliminated, all negative emotions will return, and the moment the Beginning's power comes to reality, he will be completely defeated.

What he wants is to lose control of himself.

To a certain extent, his plan was indeed successful, and the theory is feasible.

But he ignored one thing, sister, how could it be so easy to kill?

My sister is a little rich woman.

A long time ago, when she realized her weakness and feared that she would be abandoned one day, she began her endless career of picking up rags. She picked up the corners of Mental Monster one by one and stuffed them into her backpack, just like a Mental Monster, which was constantly devouring other people's parts, turning them into parts of herself, and forming her own body.

And Mental Monster is very difficult to kill.

Even if this part is killed, the other part can still be reborn.

Therefore, there are many sisters, and each one of them in her backpack belongs to her...

Old Director missed this link in his calculation.

"And the key reason why he missed this link is..."

Lu Xin Thinking, a clear but distant "click" sound suddenly sounded in my mind.

Scissors.

It is the scissors of Mom.

Mom has already used her scissors to help herself and her sister gain independence.

Just before Mom left, when a generation of researchers forced Mom to betray her, she stretched out the scissors to herself. The scissors separated her from her sister. Until they reunited in Qinggang later, her sister had become an independent individual...

That pair of scissors spanned the long river of time and space and played a decisive role at this critical moment.

Old Director is just an ordinary person after all.

No matter how powerful his theory is, it will ignore some real details.

He kept saying that he believed that spiritual life was also life, but he never thought that they also had complete consciousness.

My sister is not my vassal.

She is an independent existence. Although she is relatively weak, she is not that easy to deal with...

"Buzz..."

Lu Xin When he understood such a thing in his mind, the black particles were already quickly converging back to themselves.

The spirit is a loyal and betrayal guy. The moment Lu Xin's thoughts return, they will also return, just like those scattered thoughts when he was lost, when he gets better, he suddenly becomes obedient.

Lu Xin gritted his teeth, and layers of black ripples spread around him.

He had to hold on, dissipate the strong spiritual power around him, and gain his own freedom.

But it was surprisingly hard.

The entire altar has become a whole, even integrating half of the world.

This made Lu Xin, who was standing as a witness, feel like he was sucked into strong glue and couldn't break free.

The God's Cage sacrifice ceremony was promoted by the witnesses of the seven ultimates, but after the promotion, the seven ultimates were locked. This imprisoned power is on the same level as the Beginning. Even today's Lu Xin, it is actually difficult to break free...

Lu Xin even had bruises all over his body, but he still couldn't break free.

"Brother, let me help you..."

My sister's voice suddenly sounded, and she seemed to have summoned up the courage to help generously.

Just like Lu Xin, who once had no ability, decided to help when she wanted to earn extra money from Qinggang Special Purity Department.

While she said these words, her little hands hugged Lu Xin's neck. Behind her, there were various sisters, crawling towards her. One by one, they climbed on the sister's body and merged with her, which also made her spiritual level higher and higher, her body bigger and bigger, and at the same time... her style became more and more unique.

Noticing the changes in his sister, Lu Xin suddenly reacted:

"Do you want to..."

"..."

He recalled the ambition his sister had shown.

She wants to become Queen...

Each sister is her clone, and each A Clone has its own different nature. However, these different qualities are all blended together at this time, just like Spider-type's ability, which can make people in the city hold hands and hang up into a big net. At this time, different qualities are quickly gathered on the sister's body, and a wonderful sense of stitching appears.

Therefore, an ability that even Lu Xin himself could not understand quickly took shape.

Lu Xin's rank is the closest to the Beginning, so the sister's own rank is also the same.

It is impossible for ordinary consciousness to stitch together so many qualities and still keep itself from being diluted.

But this is my sister...

One piece on the left and one on the right, wearing a crown of thorns on the head, wearing straw sandals on the feet, holding a gold pen in the hand, and holding a half-drawn wooden scepter in the right hand. In this special space where spiritual power blends, the ultimate image quickly took shape. The younger sister's strength grew stronger and stronger. She clenched her little fangs, pulled Lu Xin out, and then blocked the surging spiritual power for Lu Xin.

She temporarily became Lu Xin's new witness, thereby winning Lu Xin's freedom.

"Go quickly..."

She shouted loudly, like a little adult, very independent.

The small hand gently stroked the wound on Lu Xin's body. Wherever the fingertips touched, the power of Spider-type restored the wound on Lu Xin's body, just like she had done many times before, and comforted, "Go away quickly, the wound will not hurt if it grows on someone else..."

"My sister actually became the ultimate..."

Lu Xin rushed forward almost in disbelief. At the same time, he couldn't help but have an idea:

"How will I get this name in the future?"

"Lord Queen?"

"..."

"..."

"Why do every carefully prepared plan always have some unexpected surprises?"

Old Director watched that scene happening angrily, but still forcibly kept calm. The power of Lu Xin and his sister were too strong, and he could not directly stop them. After all, he was just an ordinary person. He borrowed the power of this sacrifice and had the ability to observe all this. He could even control part of the power exchanged from the Beginning to kill the weak consciousness in the sacrifice.

However, this power is not his after all, and this sacrifice is not to gain power for himself.

Therefore, he was powerless to prevent such a thing from happening, and it was too late.

He looked at Lu Xin, who was suddenly free at the core of this sacrifice, and could only watch in silence.

"Stop!"

Lu Xin was surrounded by endless black particles. Wherever he passed, all the spiritual power was impacted and spread around. This made him seem to be wandering in the sea. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Old Director and spoke in a deep voice.

Old Director shook his head slowly. "I..."

The moment he shook his head, the black particles in Lu Xin's eyes vibrated, and the invisible force tore him apart instantly.

Even though I knew I couldn't kill him, I still wanted to kill him.

The moment Old Director disappeared, he reappeared behind Lu Xin and continued:

"I have no reason to stop, no need to stop."

"..."

Lu Xin raised his hand again, black particles surged, and Old Director's figure was torn into pieces again.

The next moment, Lu Xin suddenly took a deep breath, and black particles surged around him. They suddenly followed this seemingly endless space and sank downwards. With the intuition brought by the blending of spiritual powers, they rushed straight to the deepest part of the sacrificial space, where the core of the altar was located, which was Genesis Hard Drive. The black particles surged downward like a black tide.

"Tsk..."

The sound of spiritual forces colliding and tearing apart each other was heard.

Genesis Hard Drive felt the danger, and ripples surged towards Lu Xin.

At the same time, there was also a consciousness around Genesis Hard Drive, which mobilized infinite spiritual power and headed straight towards Lu Xin.

It is the Fantasy Nation king of City of Life.

When Lu Xin was intertwined with his power, he suddenly discovered the truth. Looking down attentively, he saw a brain sealed in a glass jar. Thick tubes were inserted into the glass jar, and layers of mental signals emanated from it.

"That's..."

Lu Xin suddenly recognized who this brain was.

Number one.

Number 1, who was once revived by Old Director, but is said to be dead again.

He was made into a brain, left in a glass jar, and became the leader of Technological Church and the king of Fantasy Nation.

No wonder, when he entered the city, he encountered countless pedestrians who stopped and waved to him.

No. 7 said that it was an acquaintance waving.

Yes, that was an acquaintance and one of their classmates.

Because he has become like this, he cannot show up to meet each other, nor can he attend the class reunion organized by Old Director. He can only control the pedestrians in the city, waving gently to himself and other classmates, to replace this reunion.

"Crack..."

Lu Xin suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes even looked a little cold, and he looked at Old Director fiercely:

"Look at yourself, what have you done..."

"..."

Old Director's face showed a hint of gloom, as if he wanted to speak.

But Lu Xin didn't even wait for him to open his mouth, the black particles tore him apart again, then turned around and rushed downwards from high altitude.

The anger in his body skyrocketed layer by layer, making his mental strength become more and more violent. It was like a black meteorite falling from the sky, carrying endless meaning of destruction. Every time it fell, it accumulated a point of strength, like an eternal burning flame. The black particles rubbed and trembled, and rushed downwards, towards the center of the abyss altar, where Genesis Hard Drive was located.

Wow...

Like a black sword, it tore through the earth and splashed bright red magma.

The two huge imaginary powers were directly melted by the black particles at this moment, tearing out a huge gap.

Then, in the layers of illusion, there was the sound of broken glassware, and the sound of strange flesh-like trees being torn apart. Lu Xin saw incomplete faces splashing on the ground. Looking carefully, it actually felt a little familiar...

Where have you seen it?

It's not important anymore!

After destroying Genesis Hard Drive in one go, he looked up hastily, only to find that the spiritual power around him was still surging.

The power of sacrifice is still flowing, and the civilization before Crimson Moon incident is still coming.

"It's useless..."

The figure of Old Director slowly appeared behind him, as if looking at the angry and futile young man, and whispered, "The function of the altar is only to attract the Beginning to come, offer sacrifices, and sign a contract. But now, the sacrifices have begun, the Beginning has also arrived, and it has even begun to enjoy our sacrifices. If you destroy the altar, what effect will it have?"

Lu Xin turned around reluctantly, stretched out his hand, and covered Old Director's face.

The surging black particles formed a huge wave, and it seemed that Old Director would be completely submerged in the next moment.

But this time, it didn't really overwhelm him.

Lu Xin did not continue to eliminate his shadow in vain, but gritted his teeth. "There must be a way!"

"Yes."

Facing Lu Xin's anger, Old Director only looked surprisingly calm and nodded lightly.

Then he raised his head and faced Lu Xin's eyes filled with black particles, and his face suddenly showed a certain indifferent light:

"Once the sacrifice begins, it cannot be destroyed by external force."

"But there are definitely ways to interrupt."

"I taught you that the more complex something is, the easier it is to be broken by rough methods."

"It's the same now. The sacrifice is promoted by the seven ultimates as witnesses, and it is also the seven ultimates who represent the attitude of the sacrifice. Then, as long as the ultimate as a witness is killed, the sacrifice can naturally be interrupted, but..."

"..."

When he said this, a cold, even crazy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked straight into Lu Xin's heart:

"Would you do that?"

"Kill them all to stop this sacrifice, are you willing?"

Boom...

As if there was thunder in his ears, the anger on Lu Xin's face disappeared instantly and he took two steps back.

The Old Director in his eyes was cold and angry. Deep in his eyes, you could see the surging madness, which was frightening.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood the horror of Old Director.

Old Director is indeed just an ordinary person, and his plan is not perfect. There will definitely be flaws in the middle. Some things that he has not considered before will always appear and interfere with his plan.

He doesn't know what loopholes he will leave, but he always thinks one more layer, so that even if there are variables in the middle, he can still ensure the implementation of his plan.

For example, he did not take into account the changes in his sister and did not realize his escape.

But he was prepared for bigger problems...

It turns out that I can really stop this sacrifice and save this desperate world after Crimson Moon incident.

But killing the seven witnesses...

He looked up at the faces in the sky that were in pain but could not help themselves.

He had killed them once and was burdened with endless guilt. Now, could he kill them a second time?

Only a repetition of this tragedy can stop this sacrifice?
