( This Parallel World; please do not take it personally!)
"Kid, you're just unlucky to have run into the line of fire."
In a mud house in the countryside, Ling Yi was tied to a chair. A burly man with a fierce face was grabbing Ling Yi's hair with one hand and bringing his face close to Ling Yi's Taunt him.
Ling Yi's expression was a mixture of anger and terror; his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
"Let me go, and I'll work for you for the rest of my life."
Faced with the threat of death, Ling Yi's Qiusheng instinct forced him to humble himself. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live. Only by living could he have hope; if he died, he would have nothing left.
"Heh! Now you're scared?" The burly man grinned.
Because they were so close, Ling Yi could smell his bad breath and even see the chives stuck to his teeth.
"Let me tell you, the boss is very angry, and the consequences will be severe. You actually tried to secretly report this to the authorities; you're cutting off the boss's source of income, and you're cutting off ours too."
Ling Yi was now filled with resentment and regret. He never expected that a brick-cutting organization would be so crazy, not caring about human life at all.
"A Doctor will be here in a bit. He'll rip out your heart, liver, and kidneys," the burly man said with a wicked grin, pointing at Ling Yi's body.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi struggled in terror once more.
"Your body is very healthy and you're young, so your heart, liver, and kidneys could fetch a good price." The burly man stood up.
"I really don't know where you got the courage to report this. You probably have no idea how much power our boss wields!"
"So what if we're all arrested? It'll just mean we're moving to another place to retire. As long as we have money, we'll be released soon."
At this point, the burly man lowered his head again, looking at Ling Yi with Taunt, "Do you think that even if you successfully report him, what will happen afterward? Can you withstand our retaliation?"
"Our boss is a very vengeful person!"
Ling Yi was in utter despair. He had been on Blue Star for almost seven days and had gained some understanding of this world.
The country he lived in was called the Great Qian Empire. Its technological level was not much different from that of his previous life, but...
This country still operates under a feudal system, where the Wang Quan holds absolute power, there is no death penalty, and the consequences of committing crimes are extremely low.
Yes, the Great Qian Empire did not have the death penalty.
Ling Yi transmigrated to Blue Star, but because he had no prior connection to this world, he was unwittingly tricked into joining the Brick-Cutting Organization.
During those seven days, he witnessed girls being abused by these scumbags, and those "troublemakers" who refused to be "disciplined" disappeared the next day.
Ling Yi's values made it impossible for him to accept the existence of such a criminal organization.
By chance, he obtained a small-time gang leader's cell phone and immediately made a report to the authorities.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi was unlucky; he was seen making the call by a colleague and betrayed.
Ling Yi knew he was going to die, and there was no point in struggling anymore.
But he was very unwilling, and his heart was filled with boundless anger.
But his anger turned to fear again when he saw the Doctor walk in.
"Hey, this batch is pretty good." The young man in the white coat looked at Ling Yi with shining Light Emission.
"This place is yours. Finish your work and leave. We can't keep this outpost. It's all that damned brat's fault. Let him die peacefully."
The burly man glanced at Ling Yi, sneered, and turned to leave the room.
"I understand. The prey I hunted all passed away peacefully."
Ling Yi's eyes were filled with intense killing intent, as if he wanted to devour these people alive.
Ling Yi felt a chill in his heart; his fear had reached its extreme, giving rise to boundless resentment and anger.
Just then, an electronic voice suddenly rang in Ling Yi's mind.
"Bite!"
The sound was so faint that it might have been completely ignored if Ling Yi hadn't been in a state of heightened mental alertness.
Then, a surge of information flooded into Ling Yi's mind, and at the same time, a semi-transparent data panel appeared in the upper right corner of Ling Yi's vision.
Host: Ling Yi
Current level: 1
Merit: 53
Ability: Causality Control (Beginner)
Ling Yi's cheat code has arrived.
There is no Mission System, no intelligent assistance, and no introduction to the origin of this silent cheat; all that is available is how to use " Causality Control ".
Consume Merit Points to alter Karma.
What are Karma, factors, and results?
Every cause has an effect, but the Causality Control can be achieved by first setting the result and then reversing it to create the cause.
It's somewhat similar to the setting in Final Death God, but even more domineering because the outcome is predetermined and unchangeable.
Perhaps in Death God, the Death God uses the power of Karma and effect?
Ling Yi really liked this kind of cheat ability; it was unrestrained and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
With a thought, all 50 Merit Points were consumed.
This is the minimum cost to activate Basic Causality Control; even a level 1 Ling Yi can only use Basic Causality Control.
Basic Causality Control can only generate 6 Karma nodes, and Karma nodes are events that trigger the "effect" in the Karma process.
For example, now that Ling Yi has given the " Doctor " in front of him the "death" of certain death, six Karma nodes will be automatically generated.
Ling Yi can adjust these nodes appropriately, and must participate in a certain node to generate the final "result"!
At the first point, a gust of wind blew by, causing the chandelier on the roof to sway and make a slight rustling sound. The connection at the top of the chandelier began to loosen.
The " Doctor " heard the voice and was about to look up when he was drawn to Ling Yi's angry Roar.
At the second juncture, the " Doctor " seemed to greatly admire Ling Yi's angry yet resentful expression. He took a step forward, and just then, the chandelier fell and hit the " Doctor " directly on the head.
But the chandelier wasn't heavy; even if it fell on his head, it wouldn't cause any serious injury. It just startled the " Doctor," who instinctively took a half-step to the side.
At the third juncture, Doctor " Doctor " took a half-step and landed right on the fallen beer bottle, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the side.
At the fourth point, although the " Doctor " maintained his balance, his right hand pushed open the solid wood window. Half of his arm, due to inertia, extended out of the window along the gap, and was then stuck by the window frame that flipped back.
At the fifth node, the toolbox in his left hand fell to the ground and shattered, with various tools flying out. One of the scalpels landed directly on the rotating blades of the standing fan and was bounced away by the Dali of the blades.
In the sixth stage, the scalpel flew straight towards the " Doctor," Doctor saw the incoming scalpel.
He tried to escape, but his trapped arm and numb body from the impact rendered him completely immobile. The sharp scalpel pierced his throat in an instant.
At that moment, the data on the semi-transparent panel in the upper right corner of Ling Yi's vision Changes.
Host: Ling Yi
Current level: 1
Merit: 3913
Ability: Causality Control (Beginner)
The Doctor's death directly brought Ling Yi nearly four thousand Merit.
If we calculate based on 50 Merit for every life taken, then this " Doctor " has at least 80 lives on his hands.
This is a monster!
Ling Yi, who was initially disgusted by the " Doctor's" death, was instantly replaced by a Bing Han.
Such a person deserves to die, even a thousand or ten thousand times over. In fact, Ling Yi felt that it would be too good for this demon to die like this.
The " Doctor " wasn't quite dead yet; his eyes were wide open, and his left hand was covering his throat, but he knew he was beyond saving.
The loss of bright red blood made the " Doctor " feel cold, his brain began to spin, and the bloody liquid choked him, causing him great pain.
Under the incredulous gaze of the " Doctor," the little mouse, who was supposed to be his "plaything," hooked a scalpel with its feet, threw it forcefully into the air, and as the scalpel fell, it cut the rope binding the mouse...
This little mouse managed to break free of its restraints in such a bizarre way.
Ling Yi walked up to the " Doctor " and looked closely at the terrified face whose eyes were beginning to glaze over and whose pupils were starting to dilate.
The red liquid splashed onto Ling Yi's face, but it didn't move him. That cold gaze instilled fear in the dying " Doctor," a fear more terrifying than facing death itself.
In terror, the " Doctor " slowly lost consciousness and died completely.
Looking at the distorted face of death so close to him, Ling Yi understood immediately, and his mind became clearer than ever before.
"What a ridiculous world!"
Ling Yi is currently in a village on the outskirts of the city, which serves as a stronghold for this gang.
Because Ling Yi had made the reporting call earlier, most of the members had already left, leaving only the burly man and a few of his men.
Although the Great Qian Empire was corrupt, some of its official institutions were still functioning normally.
The audit team will naturally not ignore the reports made by phone, and it's estimated that an audit will arrive soon.
Ling Yi doesn't want to meet with the inspectors right now because he came to this world as an unregistered person.
Perhaps being an existence without any mark on this world is another form of protection for Ling Yi.
Because no one can trace him or find him, it makes it easier for Ling Yi to do whatever he wants.
Looking around, Ling Yi walked to a table, opened a drawer, and casually pulled out two decks of playing cards that had already been unpacked.
The Causality Control is not just about designing the " Death God Destination" formula.
It allows Ling Yi to Perception any Karma future related to him, to capture and lock onto anyone's Karma, to change the "effect," and to set the "cause."
To put it simply, through Karma, Ling Yi can see his own future and the future of his targeted individuals, and even change that future—a power possessed only by gods.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi slowly walked out of the room. The sunlight outside shone on him, but it did not make Ling Yi feel any Warmth.
Upon seeing Ling Yi appear, the burly man who had been directing his men to load things onto a truck was startled.
In particular, Ling Yi's current state and the red marks on his face gave the burly man a bad feeling.
"How did you get out? Where's the ' Doctor '?"
