The Flood That Drowned the World (Six Thousand Words)

God saw the world's decay, sin, and violence, which everyone had become accustomed to, so He sent a flood to destroy everything in the world.

Noah built the ark, carrying hope, escaping the flood, and rebuilding the world.

Xiao Xiao was not a person of faith, but at this moment he realized that God was a wise guy.

At least he knew that sometimes the whole world is overwhelmed by evil and brutality, and the only remaining beauty can be contained in a Xiao Xiao boat.

So, he thought about what he should do, and after realizing that he possessed such power, he made the decision without hesitation.

Centered on him, an unprecedented spiritual resonance began to spread rapidly outwards. Wherever it passed, the entire world trembled incessantly. Strange thoughts and ideas instantly reached his brain, making him suddenly resonate with them. It was like a happy person among a group of sad people, who inexplicably became sad as well. A timid person among a group of angry people, who inexplicably became angry as well. His timid nature disappeared without him even noticing.

This is spiritual resonance.

Xiao Xiao stood in the middle of the city, and the entire city trembled and assimilated into his image.

In this city, or rather, in this spiritual sea, no one can escape it; as long as one is in the sea, one can feel the changes in the water.

The person carrying the suitcase never expected Xiao Xiao to go this far. It wasn't that they didn't believe he couldn't do it, but they couldn't understand why Xiao Xiao would dare to do such a thing. In their angry roar, they were directly overwhelmed by this huge illusion.

He screamed and struggled frantically, calling it a monster, and smashed the suitcase he was carrying against everything around him.

How ridiculous!

His suitcase contained various high-tech weapons provided to him by the Lost Island, but now he could only pick them up and use them as bricks.

He had inwardly mocked the madness of strangers countless times, but when it came to himself, he was no better.

What just happened?

As this resonance, centered on Xiao Xiao, began to spread throughout the world, countless strangers suddenly realized something and looked up in a daze.

At this moment, the world of strangers was already in a state of constant warfare between cities and organizations, with everyone fighting to the death. All sorts of Enhancement Element, routes, and aberrant substances were drawn into this battlefield. As someone caught in the midst of war, he felt all sorts of shocks and shocks, and all sorts of deadly dangers. However, the strange fluctuations emanating from Xiao Xiao's core suddenly made him stop what he was doing. They looked at each other in bewilderment, only the sound of their hearts pounding like drums could be heard...

"What level of vibration is this?"

Some people didn't dare to breathe loudly, as if afraid of being overheard. "Why does it feel so dangerous?"

"It seems like something significant has happened..."

Some people murmured, "Moreover, although there is no evidence, I have a feeling that this must be related to the long-silent Black Gate City Guild Master?"

This statement reveals the lingering malice in a person's heart.

They Mingming no evidence, yet they immediately thought of Xiao Xiao just because he had a bad reputation!

After all, the community of strangers has been in chaos for so long, and he has always been too silent. It doesn't seem like his usual style at all...

"Oops..."

At the same time, on Lost Island, watching the shattered laboratory, watching the out-of-control flesh and blood suddenly erupt from the massive building like a giant rose, the intertwined strands of flesh and blood instantly crushing the structure, even swallowing hard materials like steel and concrete, watching the researchers struggling to escape, only to be overtaken and devoured by the flesh and blood behind them, their arms flailing, their expressions shifting from panic to an empty numbness...

Everyone on the entire unknown island who witnessed this scene was astonished.

Even the gardener watering the flowers stared blankly at the scene, seemingly having never seen such a horrifying sight before.

But at the same time this scene unfolded, someone roared angrily and strode out of a fortress-like building next to the laboratory.

They were all wearing uniform protective suits, people whose appearance was rarely seen even on this island. They looked at the huge, fleshy thing, their faces even breaking out in layers of sweat in terror. They hurriedly turned around and waved their hands vigorously at the building behind them. The next moment, all over the island, more than a dozen huge cylinders with a diameter of more than thirty meters slowly rose from the sea. Huge clusters of blue plasma rapidly gathered at the top of the cylinders and then exploded with a bang.

The next moment, a huge current, as thick as an arm, suddenly intertwined and spread out, forming a huge network that covered the entire island.

Countless plants on the island, as well as staff who hadn't had time to hide in buildings or wear protective suits, all had their hair stand on end and their bodies charred black the instant the electric current appeared.

But at the same moment that massive electric current engulfed the island, the collapsed and shattered building of flesh and blood also rapidly vanished. As if their eyes had been dazzled, everyone saw again that there were no flying tentacles, no splattered flesh and blood. It was just a building that seemed to have been twisted by some invisible force, with countless cracks and a crooked shape. There were also many escaped staff members around the edge, but all of them had empty expressions, as if their brains had been ripped out by something...

Or perhaps it's simply that the brain has been shut down, in a terrifying way.

"Is it blocked?"

"Has the Level 1 security system been activated?"

"..."

Amidst the pervasive smell of burning flesh and the sight of corpses nearly cooked by electric shock, teams of special security personnel rushed out and began inspecting the building.

At the same time, at the very center of the island, on the top of a circular building, an alloy steel plate suddenly slid off, revealing a safe house.

Inside the safe house was a long table, around which many people sat. Even behind the empty seats, there was a screen displaying grim-faced expressions.

"Blocked..."

"But..."

"..."

One of the staff members, who had stumbled and crawled into the safe house, was so out of breath that he didn't even have time to straighten his glasses, which had slipped down to his chin, and shouted, "The losses are incalculable."

At the head of the long table sat a stern-looking man of indeterminate age, who coldly commanded, "Report!"

"It's confirmed that all five investigators who brought our most advanced technology to carry out the experimental subject retrieval plan have lost contact..."

The staff member said frantically, "We can't see their vital signs, but..."

"Jump over!"

The man at the head of the long table said in a low voice, "Investigators are nothing, but since the mission has gone wrong, it means that our classified weapons have been leaked, which is a level two incident."

"Yes... yes..."

The staff member was startled and nodded repeatedly. "And, and..."

He turned his head and looked through the glass window at the severely tilted laboratory building, which looked as if it had been crumpled by a giant hand. His voice trembled as he said, "Mental contamination has occurred in the Level 1 warehouse. All those keys... all of them..."

"... The final investigation hasn't been conducted yet, but it's likely that they've all been affected by mental pollution and forcibly destroyed!"

"..."

The people around the long table all took a deep breath and fell silent for a moment. They turned to look at the strangely shaped laboratory and felt a heavy sense of oppression in their hearts.

This is an almost incalculable loss.

That place stores the most important experimental subjects of Lost Island over the years, which are the foundation of Lost Island's control over this world. Once they are all destroyed, Lost Island's power in this world will be reduced by at least half.

Most importantly, the damage to some of the items inside has an impact that cannot be replicated.

"Level 1 accident".

The man at the far end of the long table took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"Yes, yes..."

The staff member seemed startled by what they were about to say, even stammering for a moment before regaining their composure. "And then, and then..."

"Although it was blocked in time, the Lost Island has confirmed that the Mother's Hallucination has appeared..."

"Time has seriously exceeded the warning line..."

"..."

Only after those words were spoken did the expressions of the people around the long table suddenly collapse. Countless people, even those who knew the answer, still felt a chill run down their spines, and countless others looked intently at the laboratory.

This is the biggest disaster.

Each of them understood what this phenomenon meant for the Lost Island.

"Lost Island has never had such a problem before, and it absolutely cannot have such a problem. How could this happen now..."

A woman with short hair, wearing a blue suit, spoke in a trembling voice, unaware that her voice had become somewhat shrill. "How could you be so careless?"

"Why weren't preventative measures taken before doing all this?"

"..."

"Don't blame them!"

In the midst of this unusual silence, the man at the end of the long table spoke in a low voice, "What they are doing is retrieving the Subject Zero and readjusting his brain, so they must ensure that the signal is transmitted and that the shield cannot be activated."

"However, needless to say, everyone..."

"..."

He paused for a moment before looking up at the crowd, his voice surprisingly cold. "Our greatest shield has been shattered."

These words caused most of the people present to show expressions of fear.

Lost Island is an island that has been forgotten.

When the first phenomenon of spiritual resonance occurred, and the entire world was threatened by the symbiotic fantasy phenomenon, only the Lost Island was excluded from the spiritual ocean.

That's why they don't need to worry about the influence of the Mysterious Source, nor do they need to care about those outsiders. They can simply stay in the real world and do their research and monitor the world.

This being forgotten is, in fact, a shield for the Lost Island.

Both the Mysterious Source and the stranger can manipulate reality within the ocean of the mind, driving the whole world into madness.

Only the Lost Island need not fear them; they have erased their traces in this world, achieving oblivion and thus perfect defense.

But just now, a symbiotic fantasy has appeared on this island.

They all understood that when someone on the island saw that iconic writhing flesh, it meant that "mystery" had begun to invade the Lost Island, and the Lost Island would be remembered again.

"So..."

Someone spoke in a trembling voice, "Will we be seen by that woman again?"

"Will she... will she come looking for us?"

"..."

The meeting room was completely silent; a strong sense of fear and unease arose in everyone's heart.

They persisted in their research, even as the world was plunged into chaos and unease by destructive forces. They looked down upon the world from above, having caused everything yet remaining unscathed. But only they knew that they were also filled with fear—fear that the woman who had willingly entered hell would seek revenge once she became aware of their existence. No, it was certain. Once that woman returned, the first thing she would do was find them!

Damn it, the Noah Project was supposed to eliminate future troubles, how did it end up shattering our last line of defense?

"It's the backlash from that experimental subject."

The man at the end of the long table let out a slow sigh before saying, "Our attempt to retrieve him failed; instead, he turned the tables on us. But it's alright, we..."

His voice gradually rose, as if he wanted to give everyone some confidence.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he heard the staff member who had given the report cautiously raise his hand again:

"There's... there's still..."

"..."

"Besides..."

All eyes suddenly turned to him, most of them even furious.

Isn't this enough?

What else?

"Furthermore, although the Level 1 security system has cut off internal and external information transmission, judging from the limited information we've just obtained..."

The staff member who made the report spoke slowly and tremblingly, as if facing life-or-death pressure. "Just now, a second mental resonance phenomenon has occurred outside the island..."

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present stood up, and some even lost their balance and fell to the ground.

"The... second time?"

"..."

No one understood the disaster brought about by the first spiritual resonance phenomenon better than the people on the Lost Island. The entire world was plunged into chaos for forty years, with countless mysterious forces wandering between the ocean of reality and the ocean of the spirit.

Their ambitious World Upgrade Project was forced to a halt, and they even hid on a small island, living in constant fear and gloom. But now, a second spiritual resonance has occurred.

What will happen then?

"Thump..."

"Thump..."

"..."

At the same time, in the Mist Sea, the two leaders of the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization had already planned to separate and carry out their own plans. After all, as the leaders of the two sides, they had been together for a long time to deal with the Black Gate City and the next steps of the plan.

Not only is it easy for people to bump into them, sparking speculation about the relationship between the two organizations, but it is also easy for people to misunderstand their aesthetic preferences.

Just when they thought the situation was settled and couldn't get any worse, they heard a faint heartbeat, as if it came from the horizon, but the sound was very clear.

Each beat brought a strong mental fluctuation, as if it stirred the breath of the entire world, rising and falling.

They understood what this meant, their expressions changed drastically, and they were momentarily speechless.

What exactly is he trying to do?

"..."

"The second mental resonance, hey, the second mental resonance..."

The Old Chairman of the Dante Organization repeated himself several times, as if he couldn't believe it, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "How dare he?"

"What is he after?"

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

The leader of the Hell Organization suddenly couldn't help but laugh, looking at Dante in his white robes, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it either, I really didn't expect it. I even thought that he might be able to break free from the control of the people on that island, after all, he has done many unexpected things. But I never thought that he could enter this level. He only has a Mysterious Guidepost, and it's fake. The control is in someone else's hands, but he has entered the Dominator level. And what I didn't expect was that the moment he entered..."

"It means destroying the world!"

"..."

"We were wrong."

He suddenly shouted at Dante in his white robes, "We have always worried that their Noah Project will bring that woman's wrath back into this world and destroy it."

"But unexpectedly, he himself wanted to destroy the world!"

"..."

He even yelled loudly, still not satisfied. After yelling, he cursed again, "You fucking madman!"

"Ha... Te!!"

"..."

"..."

"Noah... the Great Flood..."

At this moment, Yang Jia was standing next to Xiao Xiao, and could feel the enormous spiritual power emanating from him rapidly spreading outwards.

The massive buildings around them were turning into clumps of flesh and blood, and the pedestrians on the street stared blankly at this chaotic world, speechless for a long time.

Because she was a stranger in a foreign land and already used to it, she didn't immediately realize what was wrong. She just didn't understand Xiao Xiao's strange analogy. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"It will only drown this world..."

Xiao Xiao sensed the changes around him, grabbed her arm, and laughed, "But you don't need to try so hard to understand these things; they're too complicated to explain."

"So all you need to do is leverage your strengths and prepare to fight our enemies."

"..."

What does it mean to leverage my strengths?

Yang Jia frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "In your eyes, all I know is fighting and killing?"

"Of course not."

Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "But weren't you thinking about making a move a long time ago?"

Yang Jia looked embarrassed but firmly replied, "No."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "We'll be facing many opponents ahead of us..."

With a wave of his hand, rolling tentacles on the ground delivered the boxes carried by the special envoy from the Lost Island, as well as the other four people in the city, to his side.

These five people were actually still alive, but they were trapped inside the massive flesh and blood, struggling, screaming, and overwhelmed by immense fear. However, Xiao Xiao was no longer going to pay attention to them. Killing them now would be too easy on them.

Even Yang Jia only realized their problem at this moment. "Aren't they ordinary people?"

"How do I feel..."

"..."

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao laughed, "They have already seen our world, and can feel this endless fear and despair..."

"Not just them, everyone will see it..."

"..."

"Everyone?"

Yang Jia finally realized the seriousness of the problem and turned around abruptly to look at Xiao Xiao.

"Right."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly. "Everyone, whether they are strangers or natives, whether they are from the Mysterious Source or those Black Forest hiding behind sophisticated instruments..."

"This is a massive flood."

"A great flood that no one can escape."

"Of course, you can also interpret this as a disaster that is destroying the entire world."

"..."

As he explained, he took Yang Jia's hand, whose entire body was now stiff, and slowly led her away.

At this moment, a huge and chaotic stream of consciousness began to envelop everyone in the world. Around them, people would suddenly shout and scream like madmen, and people would run away aimlessly in fear. Some people would come out of their houses, look at their homes, and cry in fear. Others would escape from their cars and swing baseball bats to smash them. Some people would shove away their sweet and affectionate partners and look at their usually close friends as if they were looking at a demon.

Xiao Xiao and Yang Jia walked through streets that had turned into flesh and monsters, surrounded by countless scattered tentacles.

A colossal nightmare is about to descend upon this world.

It was only at this moment that Yang Jia realized how terrifying what Xiao Xiao had just done was. She looked at this huge, eerie world, which was constantly destroying the surrounding normal buildings.

This is the world they are used to, and they believe this is the real world. They even regard those indigenous people who cannot feel these strange things as puppets.

But now, having reviewed the information left behind by the Old Chairman, she has come to understand some of the truth.

Seeing these things again makes my heart tremble.

Finally unable to hold back any longer, she looked at Xiao Xiao in disbelief. "You've turned everyone in the world into madmen?"

"No."

Xiao Xiao turned around, looked at her face, and said earnestly, "I'm just giving everyone a chance, briefly, to be themselves again..."
