After all, it's your day off.\" Xiaomian still spoke gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt a force, altering his perception of Xiaomian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From disgust to habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his guess, because that force wasn't so dreadful yet. Not nearly to the extent of rejecting one second and finding everything reasonable the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu suppressed his discomfort, deciding to go out; he needed to find what he'd lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[World Dissonance 50]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Synchronization Rate 50]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strange prompt appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, once his disgust and resistance to Xiaomian were temporarily suppressed, the world dissonance would drop, and the synchronization rate would rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, these numbers always flashed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clothes Wen Xishu was wearing were still the ones from when he landed on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear, do you want to change into a different outfit before you go out? Though this one has personality, it's indeed rather unrefined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wen Xishu's possession of the tripartite force led the Ark's soldier commander to believe he had some abilities, deeming him a noble Ability User, Wen Xishu's actual status was quite lowly, merely a cleaner of the outer hull of the Ark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he stood out in his dark blue maintenance uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought to take it as it came and prepared to change into clothes that matched his aesthetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came from the Ark... and there were others who came with me, right? I remember we had a way to contact one another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wen Xishu started to search his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he quickly found a square communicator. It appeared to be a post-apocalyptic communication device, stripped of flashy functions with just the call feature kept; all other configurations were used to boost the \"signal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even in a place like the fragments of Evil Land, far from the Ark signal station, it could maintain communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu soon found the names listed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell, Smith, Eliot, Jiru, Horn, Judy, Mia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, staring at the other names felt fine…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But staring at Judy and Mia's names caused something unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[World Dissonance 51]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Synchronization Rate 49]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judy, Mia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought about these two names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because before entering the fragments of Evil Land, the eight people who landed on the island had actually seen each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu started to recall carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell, talkative, long hair and beard, Latin style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smith, a sickly old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiru, muscular black man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliot, soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn, a child in a wheelchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judy and Mia…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Wen Xishu felt a sharp pain in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judy and Mia! Judy and Mia! Judy and Mia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more his head hurt, the more he kept recalling, continuously filling his mind with these two names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiaomian's gaze suddenly turned fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear brother, dear... you seem uncomfortable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian tried to hug Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu could accept his friend's joyful celebratory hugs… but couldn't really accept this Sichuan-style hug. He immediately pushed Xiaomian away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian's gaze grew eerier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, stop thinking. Please stop thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu pressed one hand to his head, resisting the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the other hand, he dialed the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Mia and Judy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered a part of it; Mia and Judy were a couple, one sexy, one intellectual...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very strangely, thinking deeper made him feel an unusual dissonance. He wasn't completely amnesiac, of course he remembered Mia and Judy's appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judy's makeup somewhat resembled Xiaomian's, but that was where it felt weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia and Judy gave Wen Xishu a natural feeling. But Xiaomian's look made him feel repulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about Mia and Judy's anomalies made Wen Xishu realize… the world dissonance kept rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It once soared to 88.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dissonance hit 90, synchronization dropped to 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian's expression went through fierceness, eeriness, malevolence… but suddenly turned to sorrow and tears:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I beg you! Brother, I can't leave you, I love you! Stop hurting yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian actually began to cry, looking heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll be targeted! This world… will be very cruel to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu guessed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's it! I lost something, but I have to lower the synchronization rate to obtain my complete self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But correspondingly, higher world dissonance may cause the world to target me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky suddenly turned gloomy as if a storm was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian pleaded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Xishu! Stop thinking! Stop thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu also felt deep fear within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once world dissonance exceeds 90, his spiritual perception already made him aware of some terrible thing closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World Dissonance 92.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomian suddenly turned anxious, closing all doors and windows in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother… don't be afraid, let's stay quiet, stop thinking, everything will be fine, I'll close the doors and windows, pretend no one's home!
