Shattered Teardrop Necklace (Four Thousand Words)

"Oh no, I have a feeling we've been tricked..."

The situation in Black Gate City took a sharp turn for the worse, and the people of Lost Island were already somewhat indignant and filled with inexplicable anxiety.

This shouldn't be happening...

That madman has indeed reached the level of the Overlord, and he also has a Mysterious Guidepost to betrayal to help him. In terms of personal strength, he has already reached the highest level in this world.

But that's not the point of discussion now. He's done something that the whole world has to stop, putting himself in a dead end. The reason Lost Island failed with him before was because Lost Island wanted to take him back and shut him down. But now that Lost Island has made that difficult decision, which should have been to destroy him and Black Gate City with overwhelming force, why is the situation getting out of control now that Lost Island has produced two Mysterious Guidepost?

Buzzing...

The immense and twisted spiritual power spread rapidly outwards from Black Gate City.

That was the power of the Whispering Serpent. Originally, this power should have focused on Xiao Xiao's side, radiating throughout the entire Black Gate City. However, unexpectedly, Black Gate City did the opposite, instead amplifying the power of the Whispering Serpent, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Black Gate City became a source of pollution, overwhelmingly affecting everyone around and the Mysterious Source. Whether it was the creatures wandering in the Mist Sea, or the Hell Organization and Dante Organization, all were affected by the power of the Whispering Serpent, and it was clear that panic had broken out in their respective camps.

A large number of Mysterious Source, like headless flies, even began to attack them indiscriminately.

That's terrible.

The people of Lost Island were caught in a dilemma, and they could also sense that as the Hell Legion amplified this twisted power, it had already begun to trace back their location.

These lunatics actually wanted to find their traces in reverse at this time.

What are you trying to do?

Revenge?

Although at this moment they still looked down on those out-of-control experimental subjects, they did feel a sense of urgency, but unfortunately, they were now in a difficult situation.

The Whispering Serpent has gone out of control; this is now a fact.

But they dared not forcibly control the Whispering Serpent at this moment, nor did they dare rashly reclaim it.

Because of the Whispering Serpent's dangerousness and uncontrollability, it has always been among the most dangerous of the Mysterious Guidepost. At this moment, whether you forcibly control it or rashly try to retrieve it, it could lead to a backlash from this creature.

"Even we have been affected, but Black Gate City ..."

Some of the staff working on Lost Island realized a crucial question, "How come it seems like they are the least affected?"

With this question in mind, countless data points were quickly collected and analyzed. The analysis almost made him choke with anger. When that guy lost control using the power of the Whispering Serpent, he was actually rapidly spreading this distorted power outwards. Xiao Xiao was still in a state of emotional resonance that affected the entire world. Therefore, he also used this state to push the distorted power outwards. So, Black Gate City, which should have been the target, became the safest place in front of the Whispering Serpent.

"We can't delay any longer..."

The people on Lost Island, while furious, also vaguely sensed something was amiss.

As they monitored the entire battlefield, they naturally noticed the slight chaos caused by the Whispering Serpent's influence on the Hell Organization and Dante Organization, revealing their intense hostility:

"Not a single one of them is any good."

"Now that guy wants to drag the whole world into a nightmare, then the whole world is his enemy. Dante and Hell have Mingming arrived, but until now, they've remained on the sidelines..."

What are they trying to do?

"Are you suggesting we take advantage of the situation while we're both badly injured by that madman, and then reap the benefits?"

"It's not that simple."

"Since they want to stand by and do nothing, let's use the power of the Whispering Serpent to drag them in as well..."

"Perhaps, we can solve all the problems at once!"

"..."

Whether due to its inherent characteristics or not, the Lost Island, despite the near collapse of the situation, unexpectedly developed even greater ambitions. Moreover, as those who knew the most about the Mysterious Guidepost, they indeed devised a sinister plan in an instant and authorized the executor to use another Mysterious Guidepost without hesitation. Thus, as the power of the Whispering Serpent spread outward from Black Gate City like a nuclear explosion, almost without warning, the eerie power of another Mysterious Guidepost appeared...

"Snap..."

The Dante Organization and Hell Organization, having initially been too close to Black Gate City and not retreating quickly enough, are now being affected by the power of the Whispering Serpent.

Just as he was busy directing his men to retreat from the radiation core, a soft cracking sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The sound was like the faint cracking of a piece of glass.

But the moment that voice appeared, the two leaders of the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization suddenly changed their expressions and almost roared, "Not good, get back quickly!"

Their reaction was undeniably quick, but it was clearly too late.

Using the twisting power of the Whispering Serpent, this faint, shattering sound spread far and wide, exceeding their expectations.

It can be said that not only everyone in the entire Black Gate City heard this sound, but also most of the members of the Hell Organization and the Dante Organization.

Their expressions were very similar; at that moment, they were slightly stunned, and their eyes seemed somewhat empty, as if something had quietly exploded in their hearts with the sound.

The next moment, many of them, Mingming were still following orders to retreat quickly, suddenly charged towards Black Gate City like madmen. The order they had received to temporarily refrain from attacking seemed to vanish at this moment. More importantly, as they rushed forward, a barely perceptible crack began to appear on each of their bodies. As they attacked Black Gate City, these cracks spread and lengthened uncontrollably.

It seems the countdown to destruction has begun.

"Has the opportunity finally arrived?"

At the very instant the sound of shattering rang out, Xiao Xiao in Black Gate City suddenly raised his head, his lips slightly pursed.

The fourth Mysterious Guidepost has appeared.

[Sequence 10 of the Twelve Mysterious Guidepost: The Shattered Teardrop Necklace]

[Level: None]

[Points redemption: None]

[Note: She once owned a teardrop-shaped necklace, not expensive, just something her father bought casually on the street to please her. She loved it, wearing it every day in front of the mirror, feeling as if she were one step closer to her dream of becoming a little princess. However, her younger sister also liked the necklace, but the adults didn't think much of it, just laughing because it was so cheap. But she really liked it and didn't want to give it to her sister. Her sister didn't say anything, just silently left.]

When it was time to eat, she reluctantly took off her necklace and put it in the top drawer. She also took out a doll that she really liked, intending to give it to her younger sister.

But just as she sat down at the table, she heard a chair tip over. The adults were startled and rushed to comfort her sister. She froze, because while everyone else heard the chair fall, she alone heard the sound of breaking glass. She saw the teardrop-shaped necklace next to her sister's bruised knee, now broken. She cried and went to pick up the necklace, scolding her sister, but the adults slapped her instead.

[Ability: Those who hear the sound of shattering will intentionally destroy the highest priority of their rationality and remove the option to destroy something important. Simultaneously, a countdown begins; if they cannot destroy it, they will shatter themselves.]

[...]

Such a vicious ability?

Xiao Xiao withdrew his spiritual tentacles and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Each of these Mysterious Guidepost possesses a unique quality that fell from Patient Zero, and this one is no exception.

This is the most terrifying thing in her mental world: jealousy.

Jealousy can destroy all beautiful things, and even surpass their value. The destruction of other things requires a reason, and perhaps some corresponding cause, and some calculation of their value.

Only envy has no effect; envy only destroys, and does so without restraint, destroying everything.

Of course, Xiao Xiao's insightful abilities allowed him to sense even more. This jealousy did not stem from Patient Zero's accusations against her sister. The notes on the teardrop necklace were far less perceptible than he himself realized. For Patient Zero, the breaking of the teardrop necklace was merely the first time she felt the horror of jealousy. What was even more terrifying was that she later discovered that she could actually have such emotions, could be jealous of someone, and could occasionally experience a crazy urge to take or destroy other people's beautiful things.

She became self-conscious and more withdrawn because of this.

However, given the current situation, it is not wise to consider these things.

Black Gate City had just escaped a huge disaster because of the appearance of the Hell Legion, and even had the possibility of retaliating.

However, the appearance of this Mysterious Guidepost immediately brought about a huge crisis.

The Dante Organization and the Hell Organization were the most severely affected by the Water Drop Necklace, while Black Gate City was the biggest victim. Originally, the Hell Organization and the Dante Organization did come to stop Xiao Xiao, but after arriving, they had a complicated mindset and did not intend to take action immediately. They even gave their subordinates strict orders not to rush into the chaos. However, the appearance of the Water Drop Necklace turned their strict orders into shackles for both sides, and attacking Black Gate City became their biggest goal.

Either watch your men suddenly go crazy and enter Black Gate City.

Either watch these people who are affected die.

This is troublesome.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao felt even more troubled. As soon as the sound of the teardrop necklace breaking rang out, he quickly reached out, as if he had grabbed an invisible curtain.

The tinkling of music started, it was the Record Player Miss.

The Record Player Miss sensed his will and immediately cooperated unconditionally. She didn't dare to be stubborn and handed herself... or rather, Black Gate City, over to Xiao Xiao.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, like the embodiment of Black Gate City, transferred all the influence of the Water Drop Necklace on Black Gate City to himself.

This was an extremely stressful thing, but he had no choice but to do it.

Because the Waterdrop Necklace would have the greatest impact on his plans, and at this moment, Mister Ye was leading everyone in Black Gate City to build Noah. If the Waterdrop Necklace affected them, they would probably lose control immediately and have the idea of destroying Noah. In that case, all their previous efforts would be in vain. Therefore, Xiao Xiao had to take a gamble at this time and use himself to take the place of the entire Black Gate City to bear the impact of the Waterdrop Necklace.

"Crack crack crack..."

Countless glass-like cracks immediately appeared on his body, as if his body had suddenly become a fragile object.

But what's even more terrifying is that in the distance, countless Mysterious Source, as well as members of the Hell Organization and the Dante Organization, are also frantically attacking him.

In this situation, no matter how strong Xiao Xiao's power is at the Dominator level, he is nothing more than a vase facing the waves head-on.

It would probably shatter into pieces under a single impact.

"Is this really the end?"

At this moment, even the two leaders of the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization in the Mist Sea were clearly stunned, and a complicated expression flashed in their eyes.

The Lost Island is still terrifying; they know far too much about the Mysterious Guidepost.

But is it really true that Chairman Xiao of Black Gate City is going to die so suddenly because of his own recklessness?

Even now, he hasn't told anyone why he created such a suicidal situation...

"Splash..."

As Xiao Xiao faced the dark mass of enemies charging towards him, he felt a moment of quiet regret.

I had expected this to happen; it was bound to happen.

How could one possibly avoid danger from beginning to end when confronting the twelve Mysterious Guidepost?

It's just a gamble on the odds of winning.

Looking back now, did we lose the bet?

But even amidst this chaos, when he was feeling slightly frustrated, a cold voice suddenly rang in his ears. "Hide behind me."

The next moment, he suddenly saw Yang Jia's figure fly out of the already bloodied and fleshy Black Gate City, as if she had fallen from the sky, and suddenly appeared in front of him. The next moment, she pressed forward with one hand, and a door-shaped seal suddenly opened.

The overwhelming spiritual power that was pressing towards Xiao Xiao was suddenly repelled before those Mysterious Source, the people from Hell and Dante Organization, could even reach Xiao Xiao.

And with ten or a hundred times the force, it rebounded back like a surging wave.

Xiao Xiao was suddenly stunned and stared blankly at Yang Jia in front of him, noticing that her waist was quite slender from behind.

You must apologize to me later!

Yang Jia didn't turn around, but her voice was cold and sharp. "I really don't like you hiding things from me, but although I don't know what you're doing all this for..."

"We can't really see something happen to you, can we?"

It's a bit short, I'll update it first.
