The Remote Brain-Control System (Five Thousand Words)

"What?"

When Yang Jia saw the Rabbit Boss and that group of strange guests appear, she was also horrified.

I almost couldn't resist taking action for the third time.

She wasn't familiar with the Rabbit Boss, but she remembered that these people were all Xiao Xiao's friends who had helped him when he was facing his most difficult time against Mister Du, and had done a great job in doing so.

He was so devoted that he couldn't help but wonder if the woman with Rabbit Ears on her head had ill intentions towards Xiao Xiao...

Unexpectedly, this group of strong and loyal teammates suddenly appeared on Xiao Xiao's opposite side, and judging from their current appearance, it seemed that they had experienced some unpleasant things before...

Even Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and doubt. He was the one who handed City of Rest over to Rabbit Boss because Rabbit Boss could obtain some immeasurable benefits in City of Rest. In addition, they were not affected by the Mysterious Source, so there were no side effects to their strength improvement. So why were they so easily controlled? And why was he, as the Insightful One and the parasite of City of Rest, completely unaware that they had been controlled?

"Are you curious?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao's slightly surprised expression, the man carrying the silver briefcase couldn't help but laugh, "Why can we control them?"

"These are actually our weapons!"

"We gave you the Hell Legion, and we also created opportunities for you, which is why you were able to take every step so easily in that madman's world, and even make such a name for yourself..."

"You are, after all, just test subjects."

"White mice don't need to have their own will..."

"..."

"Smack..."

As he spoke those words with a smile and confidence, he had already lightly snapped his fingers.

"Crack crack crack..."

Before Xiao Xiao, the Rabbit Boss, who was hanging like a puppet, suddenly had a series of cracking sounds coming from her body, as if some misaligned joints were being set. In an instant, she gained agile movements, and her figure suddenly left a series of afterimages in less than half a second, as if walking in the cracks of this world. The scene flashed a few times, and she had suddenly closed in on Xiao Xiao. Her sharp pink nails instantly slashed towards the artery in Xiao Xiao's neck.

At this moment, facing the Rabbit Boss's sudden attack and strange speed, Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.

He took a half step back, narrowly avoiding the Rabbit Boss's attack.

At the same time, a strange arm suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed his vest in an instant.

There was even an eye growing in the middle of one of the arms.

Xiao Xiao's image was reflected in his pupils. Tentacles, like tearing flesh, emerged from his arms, intertwining and viciously wrapping around Xiao Xiao.

A figure appeared abruptly above Xiao Xiao, taking advantage of the shadows in the city.

Beneath his feet, large clumps of fleshy tentacles surged, starting to wrap around Xiao Xiao's legs and instantly reaching his waist.

A giant carnivorous plant began to grow from a person's neck. His head enlarged and turned into a huge flower bud, growing sharp teeth, which viciously bit down at Xiao Xiao.

These were all Aberrant Creature that had been allowed to grow unchecked in City of Rest. They weren't out of control at first, so they could freely enhance their traits. Initially, most of them were only Class C or Class B, but after the great battle in City of Rest, and then after months of unbridled growth there, they now possessed Class A or even S-rank power. Yet, they were all being controlled by the mysterious Suit Man, and were now attacking Xiao Xiao, whom they had once admired the most...

"Not good..."

Yang Jia was startled and was about to help.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao still shielded her figure, and faced the tidal wave of attacks without dodging or avoiding them.

Thump...

The clear sound of his heart beating from his chest seemed to echo throughout the entire block.

The next moment, everything around him softened and turned into flesh and blood in the blink of an eye. Huge fleshy tentacles rose up from his side, driving away some of the attackers that came close to him.

Then, even the ground turned into flesh and blood, and Aberrant Creature were pulled and devoured by the flesh and blood on the ground.

Xiao Xiao stood there, letting the group of A to S-class Aberrant Creature attack him, but the city seemed to have come to life, actively helping him fight against the enemy, becoming his shield, or rather, becoming a part of him.

"Dominate!"

Right across from Xiao Xiao, the man carrying the silver briefcase had a faint smile on his face.

But when he saw everything around Xiao Xiao suddenly turn into flesh and blood, a hint of surprise seemed to flash deep in his pupils.

An even louder exclamation came from his earpiece, where another colleague observing the scene asked incredulously, "Has he already broken through the taboo and entered the Dominator level?"

How did he do that?

"Based on our observations and records of him, even with his own enhancements, he only has less than 200,000 points!"

"How could he have broken through to the forbidden level so quickly?"

"..."

"It can't be considered a forbidden level yet."

The person carrying the silver briefcase slowly pressed a button on the briefcase and whispered, "This guy is smarter than we thought."

"Above the level of lords lies the forbidden, above the forbidden level is the sovereign, and above the sovereign level..."

"For those madmen, the taboo is the absolute pinnacle. There are no more than three people who understand the levels above the taboo, but we will not tell them these things, and we believe neither will the people of Hell and Dante Organization."

"But this guy is, after all, a near-perfect Subject Zero we created..."

"I suspect that he may have already thought of this himself, so his trip was actually just about eating."

"He is learning from the singularity that caused everything, feeding himself with pain, which has led to his level beginning to deviate from the integral measurement system."

"Those people up there are quite observant. They realized that his behavior could potentially allow him to reach the Dominator level and break free from our control, which is why they decided to send us out to retrieve and adjust him..."

"Fortunately, we arrived in time. If he had truly consumed enough pain and reached the Dominator level, we would have had no chance of retrieving him..."

"..."

The voice in the headset couldn't hide its panic. "What do we do now? Even so, this is beyond our plans..."

"Proceed with the normal recycling process!"

The man carrying the silver briefcase said indifferently, "Even a little damage doesn't matter."

Soon, a "Understood" response came through the earpiece. Immediately, in each of the four corners of the city, people dressed like the man carrying the silver briefcase slowly squatted down, opened the briefcase to reveal sophisticated instruments inside, inserted keys, and, amidst a low and tense countdown in the earpiece, suddenly turned the keys simultaneously. The next moment, the four instruments suddenly emitted strange electromagnetic pulses, weaving into a huge net.

"What happened to Rabbit Boss?"

Xiao Xiao did not appear flustered in the face of the attacks from Rabbit Boss and other customers of his bar.

As an observer, even in such a tense environment, he could sense that Rabbit Boss's state was extremely strange.

Her entire body seemed to be completely out of control, and even the fluctuations in her mental power showed a behavior that went against her will.

But when she looked at him, her eyes still conveyed a deep sense of anger and pain.

"She seems to have had her mind and will twisted..."

Xiao Xiao felt a slight suspicion. "Is this the adjustment those people were talking about?"

Now, facing the attacks of Rabbit Boss and his group, he does feel a little pressure. He was right about one thing: the growth of Rabbit Boss and his group is astonishing. Moreover, they all grow with their own mutated traits as the core. These traits are precisely the ones that the city's power is least likely to assimilate. So, even though he has mobilized the city's power to fight back through parasitism, he still has some trouble with these mutated traits.

Of course, it's still very difficult to hurt yourself.

The difference in their levels has begun to subtly widen, which allows me to observe their actions and changes in their mental strength, and avoid all risks.

The difference was so great that whether he avoided these people's actions or killed them, the meaning was the same, so there was no need to put on a show of painfully making the decision to kill.

But that guy on the other side...

In Xiao Xiao's field of vision, the guy carrying the briefcase was clearly visible in every detail.

Most importantly, he looked like an ordinary person, without any of the characteristics of a stranger or Aberrant Creature.

However, he was strange compared to ordinary people because he did not have any spiritual power radiation on his body, and he looked like a dead person.

This state of being was so imperceptible that even Xiao Xiao couldn't perceive it, and therefore couldn't detect his arrival.

At this moment, he was unsure how to attack him, and vaguely felt that this person seemed to be hoping that he would make a move against him.

"That's amazing..."

At the same moment, the man carrying the silver box saw through the glasses covering his face that Xiao Xiao remained almost unaffected by the numerous strange occurrences.

He also saw the city beneath his feet, transformed into soft flesh and blood, occasionally unleashing huge waves.

He actually uttered what seemed like a very sincere sentiment. "At the very beginning, when I was guiding you onto the path of the insightful, I even expressed my opposition."

"In any case, this route doesn't seem like it would allow someone to wield great power."

"But now, I've come to admire those old guys a little..."

"In the spiritual realm, the power of insight truly surpasses everything else, and you are indeed naturally suited for this path, but..."

"You see the things in the outside world so clearly, but have you ever looked into your own inner self?"

"..."

"Um?"

Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback when he heard his words.

At that very moment, all four suitcases, centered on Xiao Xiao, suddenly opened, and a massive pulse network instantly intertwined into a large net.

Xiao Xiao realized that most of the city's power had been mobilized suddenly, and the tides rose from all sides, rumbling and pressing towards him.

He felt a slight stirring in his heart, and the spiritual ocean power around him also surged outwards, resisting this force.

This immense clash of forces nearly shook the entire city. Originally, a mysterious source also resided within this city. Xiao Xiao and the man carrying the silver briefcase did not disturb it when they entered. However, the moment both sides unleashed such violent power, it was awakened. Its Mysterious Source was to launch a furious counterattack, but the next moment, it felt a terrifying fear and, without hesitation, fled the city.

With the Mysterious Source gone, Xiao Xiao's parasitism on the city can accelerate instantly.

The mental power he can mobilize is virtually limitless.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard a mysterious voice in his ear. "Now, shut down the visual system."

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, a strange shock rang in his ears, and an inexplicable force surged into his brain. His vision went black, and he could no longer see anything.

How could this be?

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

His immense mental power could replace his vision, allowing him to continue to perceive his surroundings.

As an observer, having lost his visual ability, he also lost his insight into his surroundings, and could only scan the things around him.

The next moment, he heard a mysterious voice. "Disable the auditory system."

"Buzz..."

Once again, that strange vibration sound came, but this time it only lasted halfway before suddenly disappearing, along with all the other sounds around it.

It was empty and unusually quiet.

Even the eerie, elusive, and ever-present murmurs that had been troubling him disappeared.

But just because he can no longer hear it doesn't mean the voice with its mysterious power has disappeared. It still exists in some mysterious place, being whispered to and having an effect:

"Next step, shut down sensory abilities..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao's body began to lose its sense of touch, and then the sense of touch extended to him. He even began to lose his perception of the surrounding spiritual power, followed by the collapse of his ability to control the spiritual ocean.

The whole world seemed to collapse, as if a huge black curtain had fallen from the sky, completely covering him and tightening its grip.

At such a moment, he was left with only the ability to Mind Burst, desperately trying to hold on to time, to stop the scattered brilliance around him, and to think desperately about the reasons.

That shouldn't be the case!

He had already stepped into the forbidden level, and the power he possessed was his own.

Then why are they able to shut down their abilities?

What kind of power do these people from the island possess that allows them to control themselves and people like Rabbit Boss at will?

How did they do that? What did they leave inside their bodies back then?

Boom!

Unbeknownst to Xiao Xiao, the moment he lost control of his surrounding mental ocean, a massive mental storm began to collapse, sweeping across the entire city. Even the Rabbit Boss and his group were caught in this storm, and the man carrying the silver briefcase was instantly submerged. Yet, amidst this raging mental ocean, he remained firmly standing, a mysterious smile gradually appearing on his face, as if he were extremely satisfied with the collapse of Xiao Xiao's entire power system...

"An experimental subject is always an experimental subject."

"No matter how powerful you are, you can never truly escape that scalpel..."

"..."

"..."

In Black Gate City, behind the white curtains on the second floor, a woman in a white dress stared blankly at the night sky outside the window, as if feeling a little cold, and hugged her arms tightly.

Looking across the world, in the vast fog, on a small island whose existence has long been erased, in a laboratory shrouded in layers of secrecy, a group of people in white coats are holding their breath, watching a brain in a glass tank. Computers are connected to many wires and instruments, each corresponding to a different area of the brain, while the experimenter around them carefully issues commands little by little, starting with vision, stimulating and shutting down certain areas of the brain that are functioning.

Next to this laboratory, there are several glass cases, one of which contains a smaller brain with a pink label attached.

However, inside that glass box, many areas of the brain had been shut down and readjusted.

The Shepherds, who had just been given special permission to watch this scene remotely, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he didn't dare to breathe for a long time.

Be careful.

Seeing that this most crucial brain was about to be completely shut down, they became extremely tense, as if to remind them, or perhaps to explain to the Shepherds watching from afar, they whispered, "This is the most important part of the Pioneer Project..."

"What the special envoy said just now was actually misleading him."

"Our control technology against them does not come from inside their bodies, but from outside."

"Having learned from the failure of the first experiment, we extracted each other's cells to continue cloning before restarting the drug trial."

"Now this place contains a clone of each of their brains."

"By stimulating different areas, specific electromagnetic waves can be released, which are then transmitted via a mental amplifier, allowing remote control of the test subject's actual brain..."

"We can disable some of his abilities, and even adjust his data to make him the way we want him to be."

"This is the key we reserved for the Pioneer Project..."

Medical training can't cure cyberpsychosis.

When someone asked him why he would give up being a psychologist and become a killer, he was often asked why.

He said, "Studying medicine won't save cyber people."
