Chapter 211
She wanted to use this new body to complete that unfinished task.
Her body may be human, but her soul is not yet complete. Only after completing these things can she be considered fulfilled.
Carmen slowly lowered her head, looking at her own human hands, her fingertips trembling slightly.
When she looked up again, the somewhat bewildered look in her eyes was gradually replaced by a firm and complex expression.
She looked at Xiao Huasheng and said, "Supervisor, I'm ready to go back."
Angela nudged Xiao Huasheng with her head, and Xiao Huasheng realized he had spoken too soon.
Immediately, she asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not so bad here, right? If you were here... at least you wouldn't be bullied."
"At least let me transfer the Library to you. I signed that contract, and my soul will only return to where you are after this fleshy body dies." Carmen clearly knew what the two people in front of her were thinking. She touched her chest and continued to smile, "I'm glad that I'm still of some use to you."
Angela offered a cold reminder.
"By the way, remember that when you die, you'll be in the same world as us. If you're in a different world, we won't be able to receive your soul after death, and then you'll truly be dead."
"I see."
Xiao Huasheng couldn't help but complain.
"Why do people take death for granted...? By the way, Carmen, how did you get here?"
Actually, she had always wanted to ask this question, and now she finally had the chance to ask it.
Carmen explained that she originally came here through Dimensional Rift, but she had set up a marker inside the company, which is why she was able to find it so easily.
Of course, Carmen manually removed the mark when she joined the company.
Inside the company, the rift itself connects to the Library space, which makes sense.
Just as Xiao Huasheng was preparing to use Carmen as a potential candidate for the company's next stage of development.
At this very moment, a sudden change occurs.
She felt a strong tremor within the company.
There's something going on outside.
"Director."
Before the two could say anything more, she quickly left the space.
She herself lived in the mountains, a place even the Foundation could hardly detect, and she had even blocked the entrance to the cave.
Given this situation, what unpredictable thing could possibly happen?!
Her consciousness quickly returned to the real world when she opened her eyes.
Xiao Huasheng was stunned.
She stared blankly at everything before her, unable to believe it.
The stone at the entrance of the cave was pushed aside, revealing the view behind the door.
"The earth... is floating up."
Before her, the endless mountain range was broken and then floated in the air.
Chapter 42: The Collapsing World [1 Update]
What happened?
Upon seeing what was happening before him, Xiao Huasheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
If it's to this extent, probably only Reality-Warping Ability could achieve this, right?
At least Xiao Huasheng could indeed control such a large area of ground with her energy.
However, it can only float in the air for a maximum of 30 minutes.
[Manager, please take a look at your compass.]
At this moment, Angela gave a reminder, and upon hearing this, Xiao Huasheng immediately took out the Compass of the Stars.
The compass was spinning wildly at this point, clearly losing its function of providing direction.
Upon realizing this, Xiao Huasheng immediately grasped the compass and understood.
"We're already within the reach of Reality Warping!"
Are they enemies?
Or something else.
But at least for now, apart from the mountain range in front of her being cut off and the entire earth cracking open, there seems to be no other means to target her.
In terms of the confrontation with 239, if it were a confrontation between Reality Bender, it would never be like this.
For Reality Bender with such expressive power, trapping Xiao Huasheng would be an incredibly simple matter; his abilities far surpass those of 239.
Before Xiao Huasheng could react, an even more horrifying scene unfolded before her eyes.
"Why?"
A jolt came, causing her to tremble slightly, followed by a low cracking sound from the ground beneath her feet.
Immediately afterwards, the entire land was brutally torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand.
The massive rock broke free from the constraints of gravity and slowly rose.
The mountain range was cut in half, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting an eerie light.
Soil, trees, and even the winding river were transformed into fragments suspended in the air.
In the sky, there was an unusual Milky Way composed of shattered earth, which stretched and spiraled directly into the atmosphere.
"What level of disaster is this?!" Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Huasheng, realizing he had entered a high-level game, couldn't believe his eyes.
The process was completely silent, as if this was how it was supposed to be, and that it was just a normal exercise.
But where is the normality?
Xiao Huasheng looked up at the terrifying sight of the world turned upside down and everything floating in the air.
A massive shadow fell, cast by fragments of mountain peaks suspended overhead, obscuring the sky.
Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the gravel, forming pale beams that illuminated the swirling dust in the air.
She stood there, as insignificant as a speck of dust.
She still showed the most human reaction; her cement heart pounded violently in her chest. Even though she was a statue, she was not solid.
She possesses all the organs a human should have, but they are mostly decorative; even if they were removed, they wouldn't affect her in the slightest, nor would she feel any intense pain. Surely no one would dare to probe inside a concrete doll, right?
Or perhaps it is her need to retain these physical characteristics that her body is in this state.
At least she's happy that she can taste the sweetness in the cake; life would be so boring without food.
[Their target isn't us, sir. We shouldn't get involved in this.]
Angela made a clear judgment.
They are not invincible; they can also die, but very few people can actually do that.
But for Reality Bender of this caliber, imprisoning them is quite simple.
How long will it take them to get out of there?
A thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years?
Even though Lobotomy Corporation no longer experiences the continuous downward energy drain as it did in the early days, Xiao Huasheng would probably go insane if he were imprisoned for so long.
After Angela's extensive training, it can handle all the daily consumption, and can even produce an additional 20,000 units of energy per month for development.
This is mainly thanks to the Fatigue Ring, Originium Cloning, Employee EGO, and the energy generated from the daily work of the Abnormality.
Xiao Huasheng took a deep breath of the air, which smelled strongly of earth, and forced himself to calm down.
She took one last look at the surreal, grand scene of the collapsing earth and floating in the air, and then she no longer hesitated.
They've run away!
In the blink of an eye, she vanished from her spot, disappearing from the earth at an incredible speed.
No matter what this place is like, she doesn't want to stay any longer; getting involved with this kind of thing will only make her miserable!
Five seconds later, at her speed, she had already reached the boundary of this area.
In those five seconds, she had already arrived at the nearest city.
As expected, the city was completely affected.
But similarly, she couldn't go out either.
As she passed through a certain point, she was pulled back by the Reality Warping.
No matter how many times she tried, she couldn't get out.
She had no choice but to use the power of Reality Warping, thinking to herself, 'I have to get out.'
Sure enough, she ran out immediately and got outside the Distortion zone.
She was finally able to catch her breath, turn off the Distortion function, and look at the situation within the boundary.
Within the border, it was a hellish scene.
Today, the city is undergoing a collapse, with skyscrapers resembling building blocks carelessly discarded by children, some broken and others suspended in mid-air.
Occasionally, one can see a desperate figure pounding on the glass behind the window.
The streets shattered, and vehicles were tossed into the air like toys, slowly colliding and spinning at low altitudes.
"This... the Foundation hasn't arrived yet?" Xiao Huasheng frowned upon seeing this; it was no less alarming than the end of the world.
Reality Bender of this caliber are causing widespread destruction, yet the Foundation has done nothing.
Then, standing before her on the broken street, she witnessed an even greater human tragedy.
Many people were already torn to pieces, their bodies floating motionless in the air, a mixture of various liquids.
Meanwhile, a group of survivors, like ants on a hot pan, ran in terror among the ruins, crying out and trying to find a way out.
Xiao Huasheng witnessed several people rushing towards the boundary line. No matter how many times they tried, they were pulled back, and they might die in the next second.
They pounded desperately on the invisible barrier, their faces Distortion with fear and despair, their mouths agape, yet no sound could escape beyond the boundary.
Beyond the border lies another world.
The sky was azure, the sun shone brightly, and the trees and buildings in the distance were intact.
The bird, unaware of what was happening, was still chirping.
Dog walkers, joggers, and elderly people exercising in the park all froze in shock, and a large number of vehicles stopped simultaneously.
Because what lay before them had already transformed into a scene of hell.
At that moment, a man at the border was frantically shouting something at Xiao Huasheng, who was standing right next to him, but the border barrier prevented his voice from getting through.
Seeing this, Xiao Huasheng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to activate his Distortion ability.
He crossed the boundary, grabbed his hand under his horrified gaze, and pulled him out.
The man stumbled, unable to believe he had actually escaped.
"Thank you, thank you. So we needed people outside to pull us out." The man thanked them profusely, then looked at the horrific scene behind him and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and vomit.
[Looks like we're going to be busy for a while.] Angela said helplessly.
Clearly, the expected thing happened.
Seeing that the people outside could save those inside, the people inside frantically surged towards the street.
Chapter 43: The True Angel [2 Updates]
The man's successful escape was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting the already fragile nerves of all the survivors within the border.
At first, there were only a few people, but when they saw Xiao Huasheng pull the man out, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in their desperate eyes.
They roared and charged with all their might toward the section of the border where Xiao Huasheng was.
The survivors stretched their arms out frantically, trying to grasp at the last straw.
Immediately afterwards, like a surging tide, more and more survivors poured out from the gaps between the collapsed buildings and from every corner where they could hide.
