Personality Consolidation! The Sacrifice!

At a thought from Yin Ge, the Sage's power instantly concentrated around her wrist.

She took a deep breath. The bracelet on her wrist flickered in and out of sight as countless tiny blue particles gathered together, shining toward the soldier like the beam of a flashlight.

The instant the soldier's entire body was covered by the Sage, his pupils contracted before his expression went slack.

The fear vanished from his eyes, replaced by dullness and numbness.

At the same time, a scarlet mass resembling thick fog drifted out.

Its color was exactly the same as Yin Ge's pupils when she used the Observation Persona!

She immediately realized that this was the Personhood!

Looking closer, the thick fog was actually writhing and struggling, as though trying to escape.

But it was all futile!

The Sage wrapped around the thick fog and quickly retracted into the bracelet.

The bracelet gradually turned transparent until it could no longer be seen.

Yin Ge instinctively gripped her wrist. There was nothing there.

The Sage's power in her mind also vanished.

She knew she had succeeded!

The Personhood inside the soldier had successfully been converged by the Sage!

The Sage's power was incredibly strong, and it had to be exchanged for points and money.

Yin Ge had originally wanted to identify the Beasthood directly. That would end the game while saving the Sage for when it was truly needed.

But on their way to the mall, Qin Li had repeatedly told her that if the Sage could be used to converge a Personhood, then she should use it instead of identifying it.

Because the Neutrino Persona Order Center needed these converged Personhoods for experiments and analysis in order to find a way to solve the Son of Heaven Game.

Although identifying the Beasthood could also end the game, there were certain special circumstances.

For example, people like Yin Ge, who accidentally obtained a Personhood and brought it into reality, carried enormous risks themselves.

Obtaining a Personhood did not mean one could resist its erosion or control it.

After all, people like Yin Ge, who could control their emotions and did not depend on Personhoods, were rare.

This was also why Personhoods had transferred on such a large scale while White Nighters remained scarce.

Most people who obtained Personhoods either could not control their emotions or became heavily dependent on their powerful abilities and used them frequently.

Both behaviors could cause a person to be devoured by their Personhood in a short time, triggering a new Son of Heaven Game and making them extremely unstable.

If scientists and researchers directly observed and analyzed these people's bodies—

What if a new Son of Heaven Game broke out halfway through the observation? Wouldn't all the scientists and researchers be caught up in it?

Of course, unstable people like this could also be gathered together and confined in uninhabited skies or beneath the sea.

That could prevent Personhood transfer to a certain extent.

But even if they could confine one person, a hundred people, or ten thousand people, they could not keep up with the rate at which a new batch of Personhood carriers appeared every five seconds. It could not solve the problem at its root.

That was why the Neutrino Persona Order Center used the Sage to converge Personhoods, keeping them under control as much as possible.

This could both eliminate the possibility of Personhood transfer and solve the problem at its root, while also making observation easier for scientists.

That was why Yin Ge had used the Sage.

After the brief joy faded, Yin Ge looked at the soldier standing motionlessly and felt an indescribable ache and bitterness well up inside her.

Qin Li had previously said that after the Beasthood was converged, its host would die at eight o'clock that night, ending the game.

Until then, the Beasthood host would become a walking corpse, waiting for night to fall.

It was truly cruel.

Yin Ge sighed and could not bear to look at the soldier's profile any longer.

"Fuck, are you sick?"

A furious curse suddenly rang out, drawing Yin Ge's attention. She stepped out from the crowd's blind spot.

The "soldier" also walked out with vacant eyes, wandering around aimlessly like a robot.

Looking over, Yin Ge saw the school bully cursing at the school beauty. "Are you addicted to playing princess? Why is everyone else looking for clues while you're resting off to the side?"

"I think you're the Beasthood, aren't you!?"

"No, I'm not." Tears glimmered in the school beauty's eyes, making her look utterly fragile.

Seeing this, the sports committee member seemed unable to bear it. He stepped forward and shielded the school beauty behind him.

"Be considerate of girls. It's fine for her to rest when she's tired. There aren't any clues here anyway."

"Heh." The school bully sneered. "Of course there aren't if you don't look."

"What, you're proud of not looking for clues? Are you so used to being a simp that you're still licking boots at a time like this?"

"Why do you have to talk so nastily?" The school beauty hid behind the sports committee member, looking as though she were about to burst into tears.

The sports committee member's face had turned red from holding back his anger. Clearly, he was furious too. "Yes, that was far too nasty."

"Nasty? Heh, hahaha." The school bully looked as though he had been angered into laughter. "I haven't even said the nastier things yet."

"If you want to flirt, can you do it somewhere else? I just want to find clues and escape this hellhole!"

"Exactly, who doesn't want to escape?" The homeroom teacher added fuel to the fire, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"Good scolding. Why should people who don't do any work expect anyone to treat them nicely!?"

The grade leader, one of the soldiers, frowned and looked at the homeroom teacher. "Stop talking. Arguing doesn't do us any good right now. Don't turn on each other. We'll definitely be able to end the game and get out."

The homeroom teacher pursed her lips. "I'm not the one causing trouble. That woman is obviously the one being unreasonable. We're both women, so why am I the only one constantly looking for clues while she gets to rest?"

"What, do you want to play the hero and save the beauty too?"

The grade leader's face darkened, but he ultimately restrained himself and said nothing more.

Seeing that, the homeroom teacher became even more arrogant. "Hmph, a bunch of people who only care about looks. You all practically want to throw yourselves at that woman. Disgusting."

"Exactly." The school bully chimed in disdainfully.

The grade leader could not hold back any longer and looked at the homeroom teacher. "You're going too far."

Seeing the conflict between the two about to escalate, the other soldier, who had become the principal in the scenario, immediately stepped between them to mediate.

"What's the point of arguing like this? Do you all still want to end the game or not?"

At those words, everyone fell silent.

Yin Ge stood off to the side without saying anything.

At a time like this, talking too much would only draw attention and make it easier to offend people.

Besides, the Beasthood had already been converged, and the game would end soon. It was enough to simply listen to this meaningless argument.

At that thought, the face of the sacrificed soldier flashed through her mind, leaving her heart heavy.

She looked up at the clock.

Seven fifty. Almost there. It would be over soon... Yin Ge thought.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

When the hour hand pointed at the number eight, Yin Ge's gaze settled on the soldier who had lost his Personhood.

It's finally over... Just as Yin Ge was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over her, instantly putting her on guard.

What's going on?

Hadn't Qin Li said that once it reached eight, the soldier would die and the game would end without entering Godhead Time?

Then why was she feeling sleepy?

Didn't drowsiness only come when they were about to enter Godhead Time?

Before she could think it through, Yin Ge could no longer resist the drowsiness and completely lost consciousness...
