Chapter 132: Curse Meme: Desire

【You have chosen c, drawing...】

【Your Agility attribute +1, current: 18】

【Your Spirit attribute +1, current: 18】

Bai Cangshu had assumed the Evil Child had not exceeded the attribute extreme value, meaning he would only give a point of Agility; he did not expect this guy to give him a surprise, actually being the type of dual-attribute specialist with equal development in Agility and Spirit.

As for Bai Cangshu himself, at this moment, apart from the Constitution that had been lowered due to suffering erosion, his other attributes were also at 17 or 18 points; he was steadily advancing toward the direction of four-attribute balance.

【You have chosen e, drawing...】

【You have obtained a special ability, Curse Meme: Desire (Sealed) (B-)】 (This ability has no level, possesses high hazard, may cause negative effects to the Reincarnator, currently in a state of being sealed by the Goddess, the Reincarnator may attempt to unseal or remove it at the Goddess Residence)

【Curse Meme: Desire: After releasing this meme, the host will be affected by desire, undergo mutation, and obtain abilities related to the desire, while simultaneously obtaining low-level Immortality, but the Spirit will also suffer from negative consciousness erosion; once the Spirit collapses, one will completely turn into a Monster, and all humans located in the same space will be affected by this meme】 (Sealed)

Bai Cangshu chose to draw an ability naturally wanting to extract that very special ability the Evil Child had for dodging long-range attacks and counterattacking, but not knowing if it was bad luck or too good luck, he actually drew a very special ability.

Curse Meme...

The original meaning of 【Meme】 is actually a basic unit in cultural transmission; it could be a ritual, a language, or perhaps just an action, a thought; it is precisely because of this thing that culture can be transmitted.

Others use the same actions and thoughts through imitation, thereby allowing the same culture to be passed down.

Curse Meme: Desire—just looking at the name and description, this thing possesses quite terrifying destructive power.

Moreover, if Bai Cangshu has not guessed wrong, this thing likely originates from a manga or film/television Derivative World titled 【Sweet Home】.

That world was completely destroyed by this curse, a large number of humans were infected and turned into Monsters, a very small number became Special Infected who maintained their sanity, while humans who were not infected were hunted and killed by Monsters.

"Tsk, the Evil Child is still not evil enough, actually sealing this thing..."

Bai Cangshu guessed that perhaps that Evil Child was not as vicious as he appeared; at the very least, he still maintained his own consciousness and had not been completely eroded by negative consciousness.

Which also means the other party's state likely belongs to a posture of having suffered continuous erosion.

This kind of thing could likely cause catastrophic consequences in the real world; Bai Cangshu guessed that this ability, which is only B- Rating, actually has destructive power far exceeding abilities like the Dodon Ray.

Even though in the current description it can only affect humans in the same space, humans in the real world are so fragile; some mutated influenza viruses can kill crowds on a large scale.

Let alone this kind of curse that will concretely lead to mutation.

Bai Cangshu looked at the gray 【Curse Meme: Desire】 in his ability bar, feeling a bit eager to try.

If it were him, perhaps one day he would truly find it hard to curb his curiosity and release the curse in the real world...

Mu did not know what Tao Baibai had drawn, appearing as if distracted.

When the vehicle arrived beneath Vought Tower, Homelander had already arranged for people to wait here.

"Hello, Mr. Tao Baibai, I am the new head of the Operations Department appointed by Homelander, Olo, Olo White."

The person who came was nearly 1.8 meters tall, a bald white man wearing glasses, his eyes full of venality and calculation.

He was the first to realize that Vought International had changed, and after CEO Madelyn Stillwell left the company in a panic, he was the first to lead the Operations Department to surrender and hand over the list of clients and investors that the Operations Department was responsible for contacting.

And because of this, he gained Homelander's appreciation; of course, based on Bai Cangshu's understanding of Homelander, the other party likely just casually appointed someone; he would not think too much about things, belonging to the type who uses whoever he finds pleasing to the eye.

Olo was very perceptive; he knew this Asian man was the one Homelander truly valued, so he only had people arrange for Xuanse to go rest and receive a physical examination, while the center of the topic and the target remained Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu raised his eyebrows; Homelander's reckless temperament was very suitable for a Reincarnator to cooperate with, as there was no intention of planning slowly at all once he confirmed he wanted to control power.

He immediately used force to drive away the object of his former admiration, Madelyn; he had always had a hobby of consuming Madelyn's breast milk, but this "wet nurse" clearly could not compare to gaining the love of the whole world in his heart. Bai Cangshu entered the elevator, looking at the other party who clearly carried an intention to curry favor, and revealed a smile.

"How many members of The Seven are still in the company now?"

Olo was stunned for a moment and scratched the hair he didn't have much of left.

"Only Xuanse and this new Translucent are still in the company; Queen Maeve transferred A-Train away earlier today and left herself afterward."

"Starlight... is missing."

He gave a piece of news that made Bai Cangshu feel slightly surprised.

Although Starlight's ability could not be considered very strong, she possessed a physique that sniper rifles could not penetrate; the disappearance of such a person clearly would not be the handiwork of a Plot Character.

So, it is that Calamity has not given up yet... That guy, after knowing that he had already established a cooperative relationship with Homelander, still wants to fight with him, ha.

Bai Cangshu nodded, carrying a smile that Olo did not understand.

Olo opened the door to Homelander's office and then carefully stepped back; he had just felt Homelander's fury and did not dare to touch the bad luck at this moment.

Bai Cangshu watched Homelander pacing back and forth in the CEO's office; the other party's actions were clearly not going smoothly.

!

"Let me guess, Neuman is also missing?"

Homelander turned his head, fury still remaining on his face, but seeing it was the only man who could truly understand him, he still suppressed his displeasure and spoke.

"Neuman seems to have known in advance that I was going to catch her and has disappeared."

"And those government departments are putting pressure on us, stating that if I continue to use my own influence to incite public sentiment, they will disregard everything to stifle Vought International."

Homelander was clearly actually also somewhat anxious; he felt he had a body full of power but no way to use it; the institution named 【Federal Government】 made him unable to find a target to vent his anger at all.

Bai Cangshu, however, was very relaxed; his smile made Homelander somewhat irritated, but before Homelander could get angry, Bai Cangshu said.

"The more the enemy wants to stop us from doing something, the more it shows what they are afraid of."

"Homelander, they are afraid of your Reputation among those people, because with one wave of your arm, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will oppose this muddled Freedom Federation government."

"What can they do to you? Assassination, arrest?"

"They can do nothing; on the contrary, as long as you continue to be the most powerful individual on this planet, all of them will fear your sanctions!"

Bai Cangshu was like a devil bewitching hearts, like a sage inspiring a monarch, opening up Homelander's train of thought bit by bit.

Homelander never lacked power; he only lacked a direction.

He looked at Bai Cangshu, somewhat hesitant.

"You mean, I should wave my arm now?"

Bai Cangshu smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Homelander, it is time to let that incompetent old man hiding in the White House recognize who is the most powerful person in this country!"

Homelander's stiff expression slowly thawed, and he began to reveal a smile.
