Therefore, don't even think about abandoning me. Without my consent, you cannot represent the will of this world.

It doesn't represent 100% at all.

Therefore, I don't need to be sad or desperate because the world is too indifferent, because I can add a touch of brightness to this world at any time.

Therefore, I disagree with you making this world so hopeless and painful. I will not allow you to do this, because I am also a part of this world...

Mingming's such a simple question, why did it take me so long to think about it?

Xiao Xiao couldn't describe the feeling in his heart at this moment. It seemed that after understanding these things and seeing the little boy holding the owner of the audio-visual store's hand and walking into the store, he felt a sense of relief.

Even the surging waves of the World Will surrounding him could no longer affect him. At this moment, he was no longer simply being rejected and squeezed by the World Will, but had become one with it. Although there were still many impurities within this World Will influencing him, seemingly still trying to distort everything about him, he no longer cared... You can drive a car into me, but as long as I'm in the car, no matter how many of you there are, I won't feel afraid...

"How so?"

Meanwhile, opposite Xiao Xiao, the man carrying the silver briefcase looked terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

He was unaware that Xiao Xiao had just felt relieved and happy because he had figured out the problem, and he didn't care what nonsense Xiao Xiao had just said about "yours" and "mine."

He was simply shocked that Xiao Xiao could send that little boy, who was Mingming already dead, into the video store.

Shocked that even Mingming most of his brain had been shut down, he could suddenly break free from his control, and why the data he had just adjusted would instantly return to normal...

"Reset now..."

He knew just how terrifying what Xiao Xiao had just done was.

He really only saved a little boy.

But this tiny gesture revealed a terrifying power on a deeper level.

The little boy is already dead. In reality, he has long since died. Even what Xiao Xiao saw before was an illusion of him living in this world. That's why he was able to see the little boy's experiences in the year before his death in such a short time.

Seeing the illusions of the past is not difficult for the insightful.

Once an observer reaches the third stage, they will have the ability to gain both horizontal and vertical insights.

His horizontal gaze pierces through space, allowing him to see many things that he shouldn't be able to see in a physical sense. This is because his spiritual power possesses a resonant quality, enabling him to acquire information by borrowing the perception of others.

By gaining a longitudinal perspective that spans time, he can see what happened in the past.

This is actually an ability to enter the ocean of the mind and search for certain specific secrets within it.

However, both of these abilities can be explained; the Black Forest had already mastered them long ago. Their previous surveillance of this world relied on this power.

However, Xiao Xiao unexpectedly entered the memories, changing the fate of the little boy and the record store owner.

This is unreasonable.

Who can change what has already happened, and even reintegrate the altered outcome into reality?

This phenomenon was even beyond the comprehension of the man carrying the silver briefcase.

The only explanation is. "Domination!"

This Subject Zero, has already broken through the forbidden level and entered the realm of domination by absorbing all kinds of Pain Substance in this world...

But how is that possible?

When I first met him, he was Mingming still lacking something...

"Quick, shut it down, shut it down..."

"Even if it's just shutting down a portion..."

"..."

Despite his deep fear, he couldn't care less about anything else now; he just kept shouting into his earpiece.

As a special envoy to the Black Forest, he wasn't afraid of the mysterious powers of those strangers. He knew these powers had another explanation, and having mastered their application, he could use more efficient, precise, and scientific methods to intercept these strangers, even sealing off all their abilities and killing them in reality. After all, everyone on the Lost Island believed that a rational, sane person wouldn't fear a mentally unstable madman.

However, this does not include the ability to "reset reality".

This ability terrified him, as it meant that "reality" could no longer protect him.

So he roared loudly, no longer seeking to completely shut down Xiao Xiao, even shutting down a part of him would be enough...

"Working..."

On the Lost Island, a group of researchers were sweating profusely and frantically trying various methods, but to no avail.

The first time, the signals released by this brain could even affect Xiao Xiao.

But now, no matter how much stimulation is applied, there is no reaction whatsoever.

"Um?"

At the same moment, Xiao Xiao also sensed the source of that unusual signal.

In fact, he was unaware of what he had just experienced. For the people of the Lost Island, Xiao Xiao had just broken through to a remarkable level, but Xiao Xiao did not feel anything special because he was not intentionally breaking through. He just had a feeling in his heart, so he wanted to see the world. He saw too much suffering, which formed his own spiritual reflection. He also felt powerless and desperate about it. He felt a deep pain, as if he were imprisoned in an abyss.

Yes, the people of Lost Island were actually quite accurate in their initial observations of him.

He was indeed one step away from breaking through the forbidden level, because the pain he had absorbed was not enough, and he was still far from it.

However, what they cannot understand is that for some people, simply seeing this suffering creates new suffering.

What enabled Xiao Xiao to break through the forbidden level was not pain from the outside world.

It was generated from within himself.

Therefore, Xiao Qi did not feel that he was breaking through any level. He Mingming saw the problem, pondered the problem, and found an answer for himself.

Of course, the level of power has indeed undergone a fundamental change.

But he didn't even have time to think about the power of this level of strength. After obtaining this amazing power, all he did subconsciously was help a little boy who liked movies.

However, it must be admitted that at this new level, everything I perceive is much more sensitive than before.

Just like before, he only felt the spiritual power of this world frantically influencing and changing him. But now, he keenly realized that the spiritual power, or rather, the World Will, had never changed at all. It was simply power, but within this power, there was always a signal. That signal seemed to have the same nature as his own spiritual power. It had been influencing his brain through the power of the World Will...

So he raised his head slightly and suddenly looked back in the direction of the signal, towards a distant place.

A place hidden in the Mist Sea for a long time, long forgotten by the world.

"How could it not work?"

On the Lost Island, the stimulation of that brain continued, but they were so anxious about the current situation that they were sweating profusely.

They could barely console themselves that they hadn't been able to completely shut down Xiao Xiao's mind, because it seemed quite reasonable for such a metaphysical problem to arise in the field of mystery research.

But now that it's completely ineffective, that makes no sense at all...

"Don't bother..."

At that same moment, a faint voice was suddenly heard.

Everyone present was startled and looked up sharply, glancing around. After a long while, they finally saw some dark red substance appear on the screen behind them.

These substances, like pollution, gradually seeped into the entire screen. Then, another screen appeared, and finally, all the screens in the entire laboratory were filled with a dark red glow. This glow was writhing, as if it were alive. Gradually, Xiao Xiao's face appeared on the screen. He stood still in the center of the screen, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate it, coldly sweeping over the faces of everyone present, even the face of the Shepherds who had just received the signal...

... That was the only thing that hadn't been turned into flesh and blood.

Xiao Xiao's expression also seemed to become somewhat strange. He nodded slightly, and then his gaze fell on the brain in the glass jar.

At that moment, he seemed to understand everything and smiled, "Is this the switch you left behind?"

"It doesn't seem to be working?"

"..."

Inside the laboratory, everyone looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.

They didn't understand why this problem had occurred; it seemed completely unexpected...

Furthermore, it doesn't seem right to discuss this with someone in front of the owner of the cloned brain.

"It's reasonable that it doesn't work..."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and said softly, "That may be the same as the basic structure of my brain, but it is different now."

"It hasn't experienced what I have, and more importantly, it hasn't experienced the pain I have gone through. So, although the essence is the same, the mental wavebands are fundamentally different."

"Pain makes us different from others."

"It was lucky; it remained dormant and innocent, and did not become who I am today."

"So, let's just shut it down!"

"..."

"Not good..."

When he uttered those last words, everyone in the laboratory was taken aback.

The security personnel around them could hardly contain their wildly beating hearts. Suddenly, someone shouted and raised their gun, firing wildly at the bloodied and mangled screen.

The brain inside the glass tank was immediately covered up.

They hadn't fully understood Xiao Xiao's explanation, but they knew the importance of this brain and therefore couldn't allow any mishaps.

This brain is the final key to controlling the Subject Zero.

Only...

... completely useless.

On the screen, Xiao Xiao's face already showed a cold smile. Suddenly, the dark red screen on the screen shone brightly. Countless blood vessels suddenly extended from the brain in the glass tank. These lively, pulsating blood vessels seemed to have sharp ends. In an instant, they pierced all the surrounding glass tanks, turning them into sieves. Then, they pierced through the glass tank next to it, which contained the pink key that belonged to Rabbit Boss.

The spread continued, with one glass jar after another suddenly exploding like bombs, sending shards of glass flying like bullets.

Even the numerous armed security personnel around them were hit countless times at that moment.

The Shepherds, still crammed onto the screen, seemed to be receiving an alarm as a shard of glass struck him squarely in the center of his forehead.

He was startled as if he had really been hit, and then the screen he was on slowly cracked.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The next moment, a loud and urgent alarm suddenly sounded throughout the entire laboratory, or rather, the entire Lost Island, like a demonic sound with great penetrating power, instantly piercing through the entire island.

Countless people, hidden throughout the island, were startled and rushed out in surprise, shouting, "What happened?"

Before they could even ask the question, they suddenly stopped talking, as if they had been choked, and stared blankly at the laboratory, where countless dark red tentacles were rising into the sky, like a volcano made of flesh and blood.

"The lab... something happened at the lab?"

"No..."

As some people watched the blood and flesh shooting skyward, their expressions gradually became uncontrollable. "That's the core of the Black Forest monitoring this world..."

What exactly does he want to do?

"Will it trigger a second global spiritual resonance?"

"..."

"..."

Damn it!

Everything happened so fast that time and space lost their binding force on Xiao Xiao. As a result, the man standing opposite Xiao Xiao, carrying a silver briefcase, even felt a sense of disorientation and astonishment.

After Xiao Xiao entered the Dominator level, Mingming didn't do anything, but he vaguely sensed that something was happening.

My mood suddenly plummeted, and I cried out, "What did you just do?"

"Of course, I'll do some things you've been hoping for..."

Xiao Xiao smiled and looked at him, then slowly took a step forward and said gently, "Just as good deeds are done in the hope that the world will reciprocate with goodness."

"After all these cruel and indifferent acts, aren't you hoping the world will repay you with the same cruelty?"

"..."

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Xiao's relaxed and indifferent expression sent a sudden, indescribable tremor through him.

Madman!

This guy is insane!

He was not entirely unaware of Xiao Xiao's reputation among strangers; on the contrary, he knew it very well.

As an observer, he had always been paying attention to the condition of every drug trial participant, not to mention the most important subject, the Subject Zero. Therefore, he knew how terrifying Xiao Xiao's reputation was in the outsider circle. To some extent, he even knew that much of this terrifying reputation actually came from misunderstandings. Besides, even if it wasn't a misunderstanding, he didn't care. He was just a madman. In his eyes, he was nothing more than a puppet with a disordered program that could be manipulated at any time. What did he have to be afraid of?

Of course, I don't know if it's because of a subtle psychology, but this feeling of "not being afraid" is almost brewing into "disdain".

But at this moment, the "key" in his hand, which should have been foolproof, suddenly became completely useless, and he could no longer understand anything about the other party.

As a result, the "disdain" in my heart suddenly erupted in double the intensity.

The beautiful yearn for beauty, while cruelty awaits cruelty.

When Xiao Xiao said those words, he actually had a very peaceful thought in mind.

Why do some people treat the world with such kindness, yet are they always so cruel and heartless?

You could say the former is too naive, while the latter is the true ruler of life.

But perhaps the reason is simpler: the former simply hopes that their own happiness can bring happiness to others, while the latter's cruelty stems from not believing that they too will face this day...

... Of course, it's also possible that some people become like this because they've experienced the cruelty others have shown them.

But in short, one thing is very fair.

Good begets good, cruelty begets cruelty; Xiao Xiao likes this kind of fairness.

After all, while I yearn for a better life, I'm not really a pushover who only knows how to give...

... I can get angry too!

It's hard to imagine what other people in the world would think if they knew that the famous Chairman Xiao of the Black Gate City Outsider Association would have such thoughts, but that's exactly what Xiao Xiao was thinking at the moment.

As soon as he began to think this way, the surrounding spiritual ocean suddenly began to be affected by him. It was a very strange phenomenon. Xiao Xiao's emotions and thoughts affected every bit of spiritual energy around him.

These pure spiritual forces, originally belonging to everyone in this world and to the World Will, began to be polluted by Xiao Xiao's thoughts and emotions. Centered on him, they spread little by little, piece by piece, like ink drops into the ocean.

Originally, ink dropped into the ocean would be quickly diluted.

But Xiao Xiao was no ordinary ink; he polluted the entire ocean at lightning speed, as if the ocean was imitating him and learning from him.

This phenomenon has a specific term: spiritual resonance.

When Xiao Xiao thought of something interesting and was willing to present it to the Lost Island envoy in front of him, whom he had just met but who he felt an instant connection with, the surrounding spiritual ocean began to cooperate.

And so, the world in the special envoy's eyes began to change. He saw the surrounding land and buildings begin to melt away like flesh and blood. Waving tentacles, eerie eyes, and throbbing hearts began to grow around him. He could no longer see the roads and tall buildings of reality; all he saw was a world of flesh and blood. He could smell the strong stench of blood. He felt as if he had been pulled into a bizarre and strange event...

"Not good..."

The special envoy screamed wildly and ripped off his glasses.

He knew this was a sign that the stranger was pulling him into a hallucination, and he dared not look at the concrete manifestations of those spiritual forces with those eyes anymore.

But when he took off his glasses, he realized they were useless.

The world around me was still that blood-red world, still filled with countless bloated and swollen flesh and blood. Everything was so real, yet it was absolutely illogical.

"Quickly, activate the security systems, we need to evacuate!"

The man carrying the briefcase was yelling wildly. He suddenly squatted down and tried to open the silver briefcase.

Yang Jia, who was behind Xiao Xiao, had been on high alert. Seeing that he reacted, she couldn't help but make her move for the fourth time.

But Xiao Xiao stopped her, saying in a low voice, "It's not time yet..."

He simply let the man carrying the suitcase place the silver suitcase on the ground, open it, turn the button inside, and then slam it down on a red device.

He could even sense that several other people were doing the same thing in other parts of the city.

But he actually let them do as they pleased, and simply stood in this world centered on him, a world like a sea of blood, and slowly raised his hands towards the dim and distorted sky.

Thump!

His heart was pounding, and the next moment, a huge shockwave suddenly triggered an even stronger mental resonance, which swept outwards in all directions.

At the same time, in different places all over the world.

Those connected to the brains within the glass tank on the Lost Island were all subjected to an indescribable shock at that moment. In this immense upheaval already caused by conflicts among strangers, they were either hidden within the circle of strangers or among ordinary people, but an invisible pressure had swept across the entire world. At the instant this upheaval occurred, they were shaken by a strange spiritual force, their eyes suddenly becoming empty, as if their entire bodies had been hollowed out by an inexplicable force.

What happened?

In the Mist Sea, even the members of the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization, who were preparing to make a move, suddenly sensed this strong fluctuation and abruptly raised their heads.

In Black Gate City, even those around the Shepherds, such as Mr. Wild Dog, suddenly felt a pang of fear, rushed to the window, and cried out in alarm.

"That is..."

"..."

Faced with these countless questions, on the second floor of a building in Black Gate City, behind white curtains, a woman stood quietly by the window. Her expression was calm, but her eyes held an undercurrent of turmoil.

"The second phenomenon of horizontal spiritual resonance!"

"The gates of hell are about to be opened once again..."

"..."

"No!"

Standing beside Yang Jia, Xiao Xiao watched all this unfold with satisfaction and said softly, "This is just the third step of the Noah Project."

"I've made up my mind. I will carry out the Noah Project."

"However, our Noah Project will not run away like those cowards."

"We simply help good people find redemption."

"To plunge the cruel into nightmares."

"This is the true meaning of Noah Project. Without God's great flood, there would be no reason for this ship to exist."

"Our world has no God, so I will initiate this flood..."
