Chapter 251: 247 Suddenly Energized

The earth of the Inner World was trembling, as if gravity had reversed. Vegetation originally rooted in the ground and buildings established on the land were being torn apart bit by bit, surging together with the unidentified liquid that constantly emitted the wails of vengeful spirits into the hole above the sky. However, this was not an effect brought about by the Space Channel, but the consequence of the hungry and greedy Inner World Sovereign, the Thousand-Phantom Moon, impatiently squeezing at least ninety percent of her body that occupied the Inner World into the Space Channel.

The turmoil and chaos brought about by human society on the Real World side were like the aroma of delicious roasted meat, making the famished Thousand-Phantom Moon unable to restrain herself any longer; she wanted to devour the cities of that other world directly right now.

To the Thousand-Phantom Moon, those tiny flesh-worms who willingly became her Servant Race and built cross-dimensional channels for her were no different from the Two-legged Beasts who sacrificed their lives to destroy the plans of the Servant Race in order to protect the space they lived in. She actually felt nothing toward their actions and behavior; she did not care whether those Space Channels based on the Advent Ritual would be expanded or destroyed.

As an Absolute Other-dimensional Sovereign who possessed infinite time and infinite life, wanting to invade a world actually only required waiting patiently. As for whether it was necessary to accelerate the invasion, it entirely depended on her own mood, just as she had responded to the requests of the Vampire flesh-worms—she simply did it because she suddenly wanted to.

Now, she was a bit hungry, so before the cross-dimensional channel in the sky closed again, she wanted to let a part of her body pass through first to satisfy her appetite.

Of course, this desire to eat was only one of the motivations for the Thousand-Phantom Moon's temporary plan to cross worlds. This Alien God, filled with countless vengeful souls, actually also wanted to absorb the massive negative emotions from the other end of the world.

Even if that world did not have a sovereign like her, it was still filled with darkness and madness, and the vengeful souls within her also wanted to witness their painful souls...

Ding—

The building shook, and the elevator doors were forcibly opened from the inside. Misaki Naomi squeezed out through the gap Misaki opened, but looking around, she was shocked to discover that she had actually taken an elevator from a Real World hospital and arrived at Kisaragi High School in the Inner World.

Feeling the unrest of the ground, Misaki Naomi's heart raced; the voice that had seduced her mind in the hospital to come here had now disappeared.

Perhaps that voice wanted to send her here to die, or perhaps it wanted to guide her here to do something.

And soon, Misaki Naomi heard a roar echoing through the campus; that strange and intense cry was right near her.

She ran to the corridor wall to look down and immediately saw He Jia'an, holding a katana, slashing wildly at the air. The katana seemed to have grown eerily onto He Jia'an's hand; no matter how unfavorable He Jia'an's posture was for swinging the blade, the hilt remained firmly stuck in his hand without falling. Moreover, the blade was exceptionally sharp, capable of easily cutting through walls ten-odd centimeters thick.

Seeing that it was the He Jia'an she was concerned about, Misaki Naomi felt a surge of joy, but noticing He Jia'an's abnormal state, she immediately worried for him.

Yet Misaki Naomi did not think much; she immediately ran downstairs to find He Jia'an.

Perhaps it was because the apocalyptic scene around her made her feel that the world was about to end, and that humans had no possibility of escaping the outcome of death, so she decided to give it a try and be bold for once.

"Uncle!" Misaki Naomi arrived downstairs and saw He Jia'an with veins bulging all over his body. She felt a bit intimidated, but she still called out to him.

Hearing the sound, He Jia'an immediately turned his rolled-back eyes toward her, looked at her with a ferocious, lifeless face, and then twisted his body, rushing out in a strange posture.

Misaki Naomi's legs trembled, but she did not dodge, firmly believing she could call back He Jia'an's consciousness, calling out He Jia'an's name over and over, her voice growing louder.

The seemingly insane He Jia'an pounced on Misaki Naomi, raised the blade with both hands, the edge held straight and high, and then fiercely stabbed down toward Misaki Naomi's eyes.

Misaki Naomi's pupils shrank rapidly, her eyes reflecting the image of He Jia'an wanting to kill her.

However, the blade stopped less than a centimeter after falling. The fierce and violent He Jia'an looked pained, as if he were struggling against the monster controlling his body.

Boom—the ceiling shattered, and a large piece fell, crashing straight down toward the two of them.

Swish!

The rigid He Jia'an suddenly regained his ability to move, backhanded his blade, and slashed the falling ceiling fragment into two halves. The two split halves fell beside them, and a large cloud of dust rose all around.

"Uncle?" Misaki Naomi's gaze had not left He Jia'an for a single second from start to finish. The moment He Jia'an regained his senses, she could no longer suppress her impulse and hugged him directly, "I thought I was going to die."

"... Go." He Jia'an, who had barely regained control of his body, also felt pity for the girl, but he had no time for such superfluous things at the moment. He just opened his mouth, which felt as if it were not his own, and said in a hoarse, trembling voice, "There's no time; we must leave the center of this storm."

Misaki Naomi was not a coy girl either; she immediately supported He Jia'an, and the two then quickly fled Kisaragi High School in the Inner World.

News regarding Taomu City on Sakura Island was urgently cut off because the content of the broadcasted images had begun to generate "Abnormalities." Within the world, there were already humans who had become mentally abnormal through the broadcasted images, so the content of the broadcast changed from images to text.

But of course, following the loss of contact with the on-site broadcast personnel, the text broadcast also vanished.

People on the internet fell silent. Silent fear spread and propagated rapidly. People once again felt that desperate death was so close; some even began to post self-abandoning remarks on the internet. All kinds of dark and twisted comments were being posted out of control, and this loss of control was gradually shifting from online to offline.

"What... else can we do?" The Investigators of the Chosen Alliance looked at the dark clouds in the sky that could not be stopped from spreading and the falling gray fluff, their hearts turning to ash. They stood, knelt, or sat blankly, as lifeless as the flowers and plants that had withered instantly around them. An indescribable panic, like ten thousand ghosts haunting them, gnawed at their sanity.

Chii chii chii—

Suddenly, all electronic screens within the Taomu City area emitted strange electrical noises, and immediately after, a bizarre video began to play. A white-clad woman with a good figure and disheveled hair, whose face could not be seen clearly, was combing her hair in front of a vanity mirror. The silent hair-combing, the face-covering mirror reflection, and so on—every shot revealed a sense of dissonance and eeriness, bringing all kinds of psychological discomfort. However, the residents of Taomu City, who had been invaded by Other-dimensional Power, regained their ability to think deeply because of such eeriness, and their sanity slowly returned.

When they saw that the white-clad woman in the video had been brutalized by a perverted family, everyone was even more drenched in a cold sweat by the twisted human nature recorded behind this video.

The people whose emotions had been out of control suddenly became energized instead; the mental pollution was actually resisted.
