When he came down, it was already daylight.
As he walked through the gate, he saw the security guard from the mountain scenic spot staring at him blankly.
"And there's one more—"
Jiang Si ignored him and simply left.
The other person caught up and shouted again, but didn't dare to continue chasing—remembering the mountain climbing murderer he had read about before.
What if I chase after them and get killed?
Why would a security guard risk his life?
The other party has registered their information, including their phone number and name. There's also CCTV footage here; there's plenty of evidence and clues. Contacting the police is the right choice.
So instead of stopping Jiang Si, he simply called the police.
Jiang Si naturally knew what was going to happen, but he wasn't interested in paying attention.
After descending the mountain, I went straight back to the alley where my mother used to live.
During the time he spent with his mother, he also got to know most of the neighbors, and he often borrowed things from them.
Some of the early-rising neighbors greeted him.
" Jiang Si, so early?"
"Um."
"Where's your mom? Didn't you go out together?"
"It was thrown into the sea."
"Ah?"
Responding casually, the aunt who had just gotten up looked a little bewildered, holding her toothbrush in her hand, unsure whether she should ask any more questions.
Jiang Si didn't waste any more time; she simply went back inside and started packing her things.
There were some remaining belongings, as well as things borrowed from others, all of which had to be returned.
As he was packing his things, a car drove into the alleyway.
Soon, the younger brother with glasses got out of the car. This time, he didn't bring anyone else; he was alone.
He walked in and immediately demanded, "Where's Mom? Where did my mom go?!"
Jiang Si didn't look at him. She simply tidied up the things she had bought and put them together. She also organized and cleaned up the things she had borrowed from the house and put them into cardboard boxes.
Where's my mom?!
"Didn't I say he's dead?"
Before I came back, I sent him a message. After all, he is still my parents' child, and he has the right to know about his mother's death.
However, I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.
I originally planned to pack my things and leave before I arrived.
But it doesn't really matter.
Jiang Si casually replied, then washed all the buckets, pots, pans, and dishes, took them out, and returned them to her neighbor's house.
The younger brother simply stayed by his side, saying, "When I left, Mom was in good health. How could she suddenly die? Did you do something? I'm warning you, the police are looking for you everywhere. If you killed Mom, I'll never forgive you!"
He kept chattering away, but Jiang Si ignored him and continued with her own tasks.
Back inside, I put all of my mother's bedding, sheets, clothes, and shoes into a box and stuffed it under the bed.
Then, while rummaging through the cabinet, she continued to sort through the remaining belongings.
I saw a card and an envelope.
"Wait, this bank card should have been left to me by my mom—"
Upon seeing the bank card, the younger brother immediately spoke up, but as he approached, Jiang Si kicked him in the shin.
He immediately knelt on the ground.
Ignoring her younger brother who was clutching her leg and screaming in pain, Jiang Si sat down on the edge of the bed and opened the envelope.
Look at it carefully.
" Jiang Si, Mom misses you. After your dad left, your mom was all alone. To Live is so meaningless, but dying alone is also terrifying. Sigh, if only someone could keep me company, but this old woman is disliked by everyone, and I don't want to trouble the neighbors. I'm always being taken care of, and my health is getting worse and worse."
Just be a little thicker-skinned, why live such a tiring life if you're always so concerned about saving face?
"I didn't realize it when your dad was alive, but I realized it after he passed away. It's so different to have someone by your side. Even if you're both too old to move or too sick to live, at least you can talk to each other and won't dislike each other. You'd be a nuisance wherever you go. He died first, so he's actually enjoying a better life."
"Son, I don't know when you'll be back, or maybe you won't be back at all. But I thought I should leave you a few words. If you do come back and your father and I are both dead, you'll be so lonely. Your father is so stubborn; he left all his money to your brother. But I'm not biased; I've left you some money too."
" Lu Ya is a good girl. Mom can tell she really likes you, and I've agreed to let you marry her. But I never thought Lu Ya would take you away. I don't know where she went. I hope you and she can be happy. Don't always make girls give so much, and don't be as annoying as your dad used to be. There's 200,000 in this card. It's not a lot, but it's enough for you to buy her some nice things."
"Don't blame Mom for not preparing a bride price for you. Lu Ya doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would ask for one. But we'll still give her one. After you come back, go to your brother and get half of your father's inheritance. It's not much, but it's a token of our affection. If your brother refuses, show him your father's will."
After reading it, Jiang Si just snorted coldly, finding it boring.
The younger brother, who was clutching his leg, looked up and asked, "What? How much?"
As Jiang Si folded and put away the bank cards and envelopes, preparing to leave, her younger brother, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up.
"Wait a minute! The inheritance hasn't been divided yet, what are you doing leaving! Where's Mom's body?! As the eldest son, you're not even going to hold a funeral?! Do you have any conscience? Do you know what everyone calls you? You beast!"
Jiang Si turned her head and looked at her hysterical younger brother. "I threw Mom's body into the sea. If you're interested, go and retrieve it slowly."
"Varied----"
Before he could speak, Jiang Si left, and her younger brother chased after her.
"You're a real beast!"
Jiang Si waved her hand, ignoring him.
He's almost figured out the principles Land of Mental Image.
There's no reason to stay here any longer.
Once you have a clear Mental Image, you can leave.
The younger brother behind him didn't say anything either, but simply closed the door to the room.
I quietly got into the car.
Then, as the engine started, when Jiang Si reached the alleyway entrance, he opened the window and roared, " Jiang Si!"
Step on the gas and rev it to the floor!
The car roared forward like a wild horse!
"Give me back my mother!"
The cats and dogs in the alley were barking wildly, a clothes rack was knocked away, and someone's underwear flew into the air.
The old lady on the second floor cried out "Waaah!" but was too frightened to speak a complete sentence.
The shop owner and his daughter both peeked out, then quickly closed the door. From the other side of the room, a kind-hearted uncle shouted, "Kid, run!"
However, Jiang Si simply turned her body to the side, her gaze indifferent as she watched the speeding car crash into her.
He reached out, clenched his fist, just as the speeding car came hurtling towards him.
It crashed down!
A sharp, piercing scraping sound echoed throughout the alleyway!
Everyone closed their eyes; the shop owner and his daughter were so frightened that they fell to the ground, shrank back.
However, the wheels slipped, the engine lurched, and soon the vehicle stalled, plunging the entire alleyway into silence.
The older woman on the second floor, carrying a basin of water, was the first to open one eye and look over.
Then everyone in the store started peeking through their fingers.
The vehicle's hood was smashed flat, and the entire rear half of the car was sticking up.
The front half of the car was even smashed into the ground.
The impact created a deep crater in the ground, but the powerful momentum also dragged out a huge trench.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, craning their necks to look at the boy in front of the vehicle.
He slammed his right fist into the hood, causing the entire rear half of the car to lift up.
He remained standing to the side, and the concrete road beneath his feet was dug into two deep furrows by him.
Almost his calves were submerged in the ground.
The entire alley was completely silent.
Even the cats and dogs that had been meowing incessantly just moments before seemed to sense something, and only softly called out "O".
They seemed afraid to breathe too loudly.
The younger brother, wearing glasses, stared blankly at his older brother.
Previously, at his father's funeral in the mourning hall, Jiang Si suddenly went mad and pulled out his own heart. Although it was terrifying, it was after all his own madness. Although it is unknown why he did not die afterward, perhaps he used some kind of trick to scare the police away.
But the younger brother wasn't afraid, especially since Jiang Si went home several times later to ask him for money.
If he needs money, it means he's a human being, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
After all, they are related by blood; he is the older brother, and I am the younger brother. I should give way to him.
He's just a human being, after all.
After all, it is----
after all----
creak----
Amidst the piercing, sharp sound of steel twisting, Jiang Si pulled her hand out from under the dented hood.
Then he stomped on the hood again.
The whole car flew up!
Where are they?!
The boy with glasses couldn't even make a sound; he was trembling and tried to open the car door to get out.
However, the entire car jolted so high that before he could even get up, he was pressed against the window—he had been in such a hurry to get in that he hadn't fastened his seatbelt properly.
However, Jiang Si didn't make things difficult for him. She simply smashed the car window with her fist, grabbed his collar, and pulled him out.
The younger brother, who wore glasses, looked timid and cowered, covering his face with his hands.
"I... I was wrong, I'm sorry, brother, I'm so sorry----"
Jiang Si tilted her head and sized him up.
There wasn't much disgust or hatred; his own image was reflected in the other person's fearful pupils.
He had no interest in how others perceived him; he simply warned, "Don't bother me. Do with the rest of the inheritance as you please."
"Yes, yes, I understand----"
Jiang Si casually pulled it out of the car, threw it aside, and then laid the car flat.
As I turned to leave.
The younger brother with glasses called out again, "Big brother!"
Jiang Si paused for a moment, and then her bespectacled younger brother said, his voice slightly choked, "Do you know what others will think of you?"
"You disrupted your father's funeral and threw your mother's body into the sea. Do you know what people will say about you? You didn't even attend the funeral. In other people's eyes—"
Jiang Si crossed the road and followed yesterday's route straight to the foot of the mountain.
There were a few more tourists today, and Jiang Si bought a bottle of water.
The security guard from yesterday wasn't there, which saved him some trouble; someone greeted him.
Jiang Si wasn't in the mood to pay attention; he simply started walking up the mountain.
The mountain, over a thousand meters high, was a bit harder to climb than yesterday, probably because there were more people.
However, when they reached the top of the mountain, there was no one there anymore.
Turning my head, I could see people halfway up the mountain. Most of them had stopped at the rest area halfway up the mountain; there weren't many people here today.
It's possible that none of them will reach the summit.
Turning her head, Jiang Si continued walking uphill.
Today, the mountaintop is even more magnificent and breathtaking.
The sky remained overcast, obscuring the sun.
But the seawater below was churning even more violently than yesterday, with the surging waves seemingly about to splash onto the mountaintop.
Feeling refreshed and relaxed, Jiang Si stood at the highest point, gazing at the spot where her mother had fallen the day before.
The wheelchair tracks hadn't disappeared yet; the strong wind was blowing, but it couldn't erase them.
The snow on the mountaintop was shallow, but it never seemed to dissipate.
He took a deep breath and opened his arms.
The Miracle Seed in my hand still hadn't lit up; it remained shrouded in darkness.
He stayed there for a long time, though he didn't keep track of it.
But it's fairly predictable that I am currently part of the entire history of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
The one that stays the longest in the Land of Mental Image.
Jiang Si closed her eyes, savoring the last moments of the mountaintop scenery. After an unknown amount of time, noises came from below.
The sound of police sirens followed by helicopters circling over the hilltop.
On the helicopter, warnings from the armed police could be heard repeatedly, along with the sound of guns being cocked.
The news that someone was ripping out hearts in the lobby must have spread by now.
Jiang Si listened quietly, then walked to the edge of the cliff.
The armed police were yelling at him, telling him to step back, while the helicopter above revealed its gun barrels.
"Suspect Jiang Si! Please come down the mountain immediately to cooperate with the military investigation!"
Immediately afterwards, armed police officers climbed up from below. He glanced to the side and saw that some of them were acquaintances.
That younger brother, and his wife.
"Killed his own mother?"
"Did he push his own mother into the sea?"
"I heard they even ruined their own father's funeral?"
"This is fucking insane!"
"You beast!"
Did his parents have a dog?
Don't insult dogs; dogs are more sensible than him.
"I can't stand it! I'm usually very filial to my parents, I can't stand people like this—"
All sorts of insults and contempt.
The Miracle Seed was still grayish-white.
There is no magic.
There is no curse that transcends reality.
Only this body, trained to its absolute limit.
"Surrender immediately and come down the mountain to cooperate with the investigation—"
A multitude of things piled up, resembling a failed journey through Land of Mental Image.
He took a deep breath, walked to the cliff where his mother had fallen, and then took another step forward.
I stepped on thin air.
All the noise and commotion began to seem distant and insignificant.
The boy turned his head, his calm yet world-weary eyes gazing at everyone.
Looking at those misunderstandings, insults, humiliations, contempt, and hostility—
In the end, he just smiled slightly.
"It's nothing."
He stepped forward again, toward the sky, "Just a little bit of wind and frost."
The Miracle Seed in his hand began to shimmer with a purple light.
As radiant as the blazing sun!
"Heaven and earth are ruthless."
As the helicopter circled overhead, the blazing purple sun, radiating heat, roared and overturned the helicopter!
"Treating all things as straw dogs."
The purple sun ignited the sea, and the raging flames spread all the way to the horizon.
The scorching flames set the sea and sky ablaze, burning them to ashes!
"I see."
The purple-clad girl standing in the sky spoke serenely and joyfully.
"This is Mental Image."
Reach out and gently grasp.
A scorching sky and sea appeared in her hands.
To erode the world with Personal Reality.
When there are no more scruples, the world becomes the Mental Image.
On the mountain peak, the younger brother stared blankly as his older brother turned into a sister—or rather, a younger sister, even though they could see and hear nothing from that distance.
However, that figure transcended all obstacles, ignoring space and distance, and was etched into our eyes!
He turned around as if sensing something and saw that the bewildered faces of all beings—police, soldiers, tourists, security guards, those on the mountain and those below, and even those not only human but also those flying in the sky, walking on the ground, and swimming in the sea, living and inanimate—were all gazing up at the girl who seemed to hold the world in her hands.
After that, all existence lost the ability to think.
This is --
Her lips parted slightly, and an immense magical power shook the torrent of reality.
As she let go, and the burning sea and sky vanished, her Personal Reality suddenly unfolded.
Devouring heaven and earth!
" Soul Transformation Immortal Altar!"
