How to Become an Aberration Wielder
Everyone who sees this painting gets a jolt.
It felt like all the blood in my body had frozen.
That cold, authoritative, scrutinizing gaze swept over them from head to toe, as if it could see into their deepest, most shameful thoughts.
Driven by extreme fear, many people smashed their phones and computers.
After their emotions calmed down and reason regained its hold, many people looked at their broken phones and computers with tears in their eyes.
"Ah!"
"Wow, f*** you!"
"What's going on? That painting... there's something wrong with it!"
The bizarre paintings, imbued with mysterious power, evoke both fear and a strong sense of curiosity to explore their secrets.
As a result, the video instantly went viral online.
Previous inferences have been completely overturned.
"This person is indeed a superhuman."
"Why is it that even though we're separated by the internet and we're not making eye contact, I still feel like I'm being watched by the person in the painting?"
"This is too Terror, I can't even bear to watch the end."
"This painting is so captivating! Please tell me where the mural is located? I'll pay a high price to buy it!"

Some are afraid, some are obsessed.
Some people are willing to do anything to seek out this mysterious power.
Some people even managed to contact the video creator through the backend system and offered high prices to acquire the location of the mural.
This sum of money was so large that it greatly tempted Gore and his team.
However, before they could act...
Their door was kicked open from the outside, and a tear gas canister was thrown in.
The men burst into tears, and, completely unable to resist, were rushed in by a group of heavily armed soldiers and pinned to the ground.
"Don't move!"
Their heads were covered.
All the equipment inside was searched and confiscated, and they were taken away as well.
The video was quickly taken down.
That same day, a group of fully armed men arrived at the ruins by plane.
They surrounded the ruins, preventing anyone from getting close, and then took everything inside.
A high-ranking national leader found someone.
The man was shrouded in a mysterious black robe.
He said respectfully to the man in black robes, "We have retrieved the item you mentioned."
He clapped his hands, and several people pushed in a metal box. After putting the box down, they quickly left.
The man in black robes walked to the iron box, opened it, and inside lay the last mural.
It was peeled off the wall and placed in an iron box, which was even protected against fading and scratches.
The man in black robes extended a finger with satisfaction and carefully stroked the mural. "You did a good job."
The senior leader was secretly delighted, and his breathing quickened slightly. "Then..."
The man in black robes took out a thin book from his robes and casually tossed it to the other man.
The senior leader hurriedly caught the book.
He anxiously and carefully opened the book and began to read.
This book contains the method they have longed for to gain power.
After reading it, his breathing became heavier. "Thank you, sir."
The man in black robes said meaningfully, "We're simply each taking what we need."
Senior leader. "That symbol, is it really the Anomaly Containment Association?"
The man in black robes said, "Of course, besides them, who else would dare to use such an arrogant symbol? Hmph, they're just relying on..." He spoke the last part very softly, and the higher-ups didn't hear him clearly.

He didn't dare to ask any further questions.
"You'd better watch yourselves. Any power that you wish to wield will come at a price."
After saying that, the man in black robes quickly left with the iron box.
The senior leaders stood there, their faces beaming with ecstasy.
"Hahaha, this is the path to extraordinary power! The price? As long as I can gain power, I'll pay any price."
The book above records a method for using strange abilities.
First, you need to adapt to the eerie erosion over a long period of time.
To allow one's body to adapt to a strange power through artificial intervention.
This step is extremely easy to fail, ultimately leading to the person's sanity being corrupted by the eerie force, turning them into a twisted and terrifying monster.
But once you can adapt to the strength, you can move on to the next step.
Use your own body to contain the eerie.
Then, through special means, they seal these things inside their own bodies, suppressing and controlling the supernatural through their own will and spirit.
In a little while, I'll be able to use it.
Those who acquire abilities through such means are called Anomaly Tamer.
Unlike the Contract Anomalist, Contract Anomalist use bizarre abilities at a very low cost.
Each time Anomaly Tamer uses their bizarre abilities, the demonic influence on their body intensifies.
In the end, when the strangeness within the body can no longer be suppressed by one's own mind, it will merge with the Anomaly Tamer and completely replace the Anomaly Tamer.
It's hard to say whether the Anomaly Tamer will be able to retain their consciousness by then.
Of course, the man in black did not specify these hidden dangers in the book.
They themselves are suffering from the strange corruption, so how could they kindly inform greedy newcomers?
The high-ranking leader, beaming with delight, tucked the book into his pocket. He planned to find some people to test the methods in the book; if they worked, he would gain superhuman powers and become an extraordinary being.
At that time, the entire country will depend on his power, wouldn't he then become the supreme ruler of the country?
Hahahaha!
He was so engrossed in his own beautiful dream that he couldn't pull himself out.
On the other side...
The man in black robes hurriedly left and returned to his secret hideout.
The man with the menacing Evil Mouth was squatting on the sofa, listlessly playing with his hair. Seeing him walk in, he immediately asked, "How is it?"
The man in the black robe lifted his hood, revealing a handsome face beneath—it was Love Resentment.
Love Resentment said irritably, "You're such a homebody who never leaves the house, I always have to go with you when you need to run errands."
Evil Mouth scratched his head. "I don't want to be around those stinking humans; it makes the weird stuff inside me stir."
Love Resentment: "Don't make excuses, I brought the things back."
Love Resentment placed the iron box on the ground.
Evil Mouth quickly came over to take a look. "Wow, is this really that person's portrait? Hmm, judging from the paint and painting style of this mural, it should be from the Middle Ages, probably several hundred years ago?"
"I can't believe it's been preserved so well until now."
Love Resentment nodded. "This is all very important intelligence; the leaders will definitely like it."
He scrutinized the mural with Evil Mouth grin.
He rubbed his arms. "Ugh, this feeling of being watched is unbearable."
He immediately closed the metal box.
Love Resentment: "After all, he's that person. Even the leader doesn't dare to underestimate him; no, they're wary of him."
