The confrontation ca very suddenly.
The Masked Strange Person had been looking for the doctor all this ti, believing that the doctor was far more important than the principal.
Before the night of the confrontation arrived, the Masked Strange Person was eating with Jiang Yimi. To be precise, it was Jiang Yimi who was eating, while the Masked Strange Person watched.
"If only I didn’t have these abilities, I wish I could go to crowded places and have fun with you."
Jiang Yimi was sixteen, and the youthful vitality she had almost completely spent revived bit by bit after eting the Masked Strange Person.
The Masked Strange Person’s face always bore a smile, because the mask was a smiling face, and because his voice carried an air of composure and mirth:
"The pain your power has brought you, will one day bring you just as much happiness. Crowded lively places will only turn into mories, the things we do are essentially futile, and the future where humans generally turn into monsters cannot be changed. The only thing we can do is to kill a few leaders with a significant impact."
The principal and the doctor were such leaders, and the Masked Strange Person had a strong attachnt to the doctor. This was also why he remained in Baichuan City and did not kill the principal.
"You seem very pessimistic."
"It’s not pessimism, it’s just that the transformation of humans into monsters cannot be stopped. To be precise, I call it early adaptation."
"Why... Everyone turning into monsters, isn’t that a terrifying thing?"
Jiang Yimi had a particular fondness for pudding, springy and soft. As soon as she finished speaking, she swallowed a small piece.
The Masked Strange Person said:
"It’s just a difference in form, a well-gifted Evil Fallen can still control their desires. The Evil Fallen are not to be feared, what’s truly frightening is the human heart. In fact, the Evil Fallen Transformation is just a way of elimination. My mission is different from yours; I have to learn to view them from a macro perspective, otherwise, I would get caught up in emotional turmoil."
This statent sowhat bore the aning that kindness doesn’t lead an army. Bai Wu could feel that the Masked Strange Person surely knew a lot about major events.
He was not pessimistic about the future; on the contrary, he was dealing with it with an uncommonly rational mindset.
But the more so it was, the more it explained why the doctor was such a key figure. What exactly did he want to do with the doctor?
"All right... But I still hope everyone can live in the form of humans."
"You yourself aren’t exactly human anymore."
A normal girl would have been talked to death that day. However, Jiang Yimi was an existence who had been cursed throughout Baichuan, she couldn’t care less about the tragedy she bore:
"I don’t know whether to call you big brother or uncle, can I see what you look like?"
As the mory reached that point, Bai Wu suddenly beca expectant, but the expectation was ultimately in vain—
"No, I refuse."
"Okay... Okay."
"Aren’t you curious as to why?"
"Curious."
"Because I am just too good-looking."
"..." Jiang Yimi.
"..." Bai Wu.
Of course, that wasn’t the real reason, but the Masked Strange Person was unwilling to reveal it, and Jiang Yimi wasn’t the type to dig until the very end for an answer.
"Are we continuing tonight?"
"Yes, we need to get as many students as possible to live in the world inside the mirror."
"How long do they have to stay there?"
"Until I kill the principal."
According to their plan, as soon as the doctor returned to the Ninth Psychiatric Hospital, all the arrangents could begin to close in.
The ordinary mories ca to an end there, and the next scene in my mory had arrived at night when black blood vessels stretched out from beneath the school building, and the sudden confrontation between the Masked Strange Person and the principal ensued.
...
As planned by Jiang Yimi and the Masked Strange Person, tonight was still ant for fabricating supernatural events.
But as they passed by the teaching building on their way to the dormitory area, the "principal" awoke.
Jiang Yimi, who had never seen the principal before, saw for the first ti what was referred to as a high-level mutation.
She couldn’t imagine that this eerie entity, floating in the sky and resembling the eye of so giant beast, was the principal.
In the sky appeared a giant eye, with countless black blood vessels spreading from its outer wall. It was as if nurous vines were breaking through the ground, eventually connecting to this colossal eye,
Seven hundred years ago, the sudden appearance of a Level 9 Mutant was a cataclysmic strike for a city.
The principal’s appearance reminded Bai Wu of the heart of Well Four.
It was also entwined with countless black veins, but it clearly didn’t possess the nearly infinite combat strength of the heart of Well Four.
The Masked Strange Person furrowed his brow. The principal wasn’t scary, even though this was the first Level 9 Mutant he encountered in Baichuan City.
He furrowed his brow because so strange power within him began to fluctuate oddly.
He guessed that perhaps it was the fluctuation of this power that startled the principal, who had been absorbing fear and other Evil Fallen powers beneath the ground.
"In that case, I’ll have to kill him ahead of schedule. Jiang Yimi, go back to the restricted area, I’ll handle this."
"Okay, can you beat it? Is that really the principal?"
Jiang Yimi looked at the giant one-eyed monster in the sky and the nurous black blood vessels spreading out, feeling sowhat afraid.
At the mont they sensed the Masked Strange Person, those black blood vessels, like a snake homing in on prey, shot towards the Masked Strange Person with incredible speed.
Bai Wu watched this and was slightly surprised, finding the attack speed of the Level 9 Mutant difficult to defend against.
"It is the principal. It looks intimidating but isn’t that strong."
The voice of the Masked Strange Person remained calm.
Facing those black blood vessels that suddenly lashed out at him, his figure beca elusive.
It was evident that the giant eye in the sky was about to unleash so power, but strangely enough, it was suppressed by an even greater power.
Perfect-level Mutation Entry—Equality of All Beings.
Suppressed by this powerful Mutation Entry were the sources of Jiang Yimi’s ill-fate entry and the two Talent Sequences.
Within the realm of Equality of All Beings, all special powers were nullified.
Especially now, as the Masked Strange Person’s power burst forth, the realm of Equality of All Beings almost covered the entire school.
The principal’s attacks weren’t completely blocked. The black blood vessels, like tentacles, extended from the ground at angles difficult to predict, with strength and speed beyond human resistance.
But the Masked Strange Person had strength and speed not inferior to a Level 9 Mutant.
After dodging a round of the principal’s attacks and seeing the black blood vessels continuously stretching out from the ground, the Masked Strange Person leaped up, and a weapon had sohow appeared in his hand.
It was a short sword with an oddly patterned scabbard.
Once again, sothing beyond Bai Wu’s comprehension occurred. His eyes could capture the details of the duel and clearly see the short sword in the Masked Strange Person’s hand.
But the information from his eyes—unviewable.
Following the appearance of unviewable humans, now there was an unviewable weapon. After a brief surprise, Bai Wu cald down again.
In the night sky, countless giant blood vessels were about to entangle the Masked Strange Person, and his response was extrely straightforward—
Swing the sword.
The ferocious power surged out the mont the blade was drawn, and although no one saw the Masked Strange Person swinging the blade consecutively, the tentacle-like blood vessels around were neatly severed.
The gigantic one-eyed monster hanging high in the air instantly beca bloodshot, casting an enraged gaze at the Masked Strange Person.
The Masked Strange Person’s body landed on the rooftop of the academic building.
Bai Wu could confirm that the blade held imnse power and was likely one of the seven original sin weapons.
This Masked Strange Person not only possessed god-level skills and maxed attributes, but also the most top-tier equipnt.
The battle appeared to be an overwhelming victory for the Masked Strange Person.
The ensuing fight indeed confird this, as the Masked Strange Person continued to advance along the black blood vessels.
He effortlessly dismantled the headmaster’s various offensives, severing countless blood vessels with one person, one blade.
The vicinity of the academic building was filled with the stench of black blood. This scene exhilarated Jiang Yimi, who was running towards the west campus.
There were no twists; the battle unfolded quite differently from what Bai Wu had originally thought.
He had assud the Masked Strange Person would lose for so reason, but the matchup was evidently not a contest of equal levels.
The Masked Strange Person showed no sign of potential defeat as he constantly ascended the black blood vessels, drawing ever closer to the eye.
The "headmaster" continually controlled the black blood vessels to strike back and defend, and although those vine-like blood vessels bore imnse destructive power, they couldn’t even hinder the Masked Strange Person’s steps.
One man with one blade had beco an invincible state.
The headmaster’s true ability was far beyond this; so Mutation Entries could change shape, and its form as an eye was because it possessed an Entry related to ocular art.
However, under the influence of the Equality of All Beings, it had to engage in close combat with the Masked Strange Person despite being a mage.
Jiang Yimi stopped in her tracks at this mont, her eyes wide as she watched the scene.
The most evil monster was about to be killed, and all the strange tales of the school would co to an end at this mont.
But at this point, the tide of battle began to undergo a shocking reversal—the Masked Strange Person’s figure ground to a halt!
He was as if abandoned by ti itself, unable to move. He still maintained a charging stance, but the weapon in his hand disappeared in an instant.
According to the Masked Strange Person’s calculations, in the next second, he would have been able to easily pierce the gigantic eye with the weapon in his hand.
But it was at this mont that he suddenly felt the power within his body starting to run rampant.
At this instant, relying on his last bit of will, he forcibly retracted his weapon.
Then a certain force completely lost control, and his body could not move, as if completely imprisoned by so rule-level power.
The Masked Strange Person’s body began to fall from the sky.
This scene caught both Jiang Yimi and Bai Wu off guard. Even the headmaster was stunned, clearly not anticipating such a sudden change.
It did not remain shocked for too long; the massive, wicked pupil glead with a dark red luster from excitent.
At this mont, countless black blood vessels began to entangle the Masked Strange Person, and as he was eyed by the dark red pupil, his body started to rot bit by bit.
Like a moldy orange, his body quickly showed signs of mold-like decay, and his original skin rapidly shriveled at a visible speed.
The powerful Mutation Entry, Leviathan’s Eye.
As the Masked Strange Person’s body was restrained by the chaotic internal power, his Equality of All Beings was also dissolving at this mont.
The headmaster’s formidable power was finally unleashed. It could, in an extrely short period, completely absorb an opponent in its line of sight with its powerful ocular art.
Along with nurous black blood vessels, the Masked Strange Person was now utterly lifeless.
re monts before, he held an almost irreversible advantage.
Seeing this, Bai Wu understood what was happening.
"It seems that Fusion Disease has struck. Even though their strengths can’t be considered worlds apart, a defeat of this magnitude was absolutely impossible. The Masked Strange Person never used the powers he demonstrated at the Ninth Hospital from the very beginning, likely intending to delay the onset of Fusion Disease."
"But Fusion Disease still erupted, and there may be sothing fishy about that... Regardless, he lost."
Due to Leviathan’s Eye, the body of the Masked Strange Person had beco exceedingly frail, and the following scenes were unspeakably cruel for Jiang Yimi.
As his body withered away from being devoured, there was no longer any sign of life on the Masked Strange Person.
The mask slid from his face, but because Jiang Yimi was too far away, she could not see it clearly.
Even if she could have seen it clearly, she would have only seen a face that had been sucked dry and was unrecognizable.
The mask was smacked away by a dark blood vessel, and the Masked Strange Person’s body was squashed by nurous dark blood vessels.
Suddenly, a cloud of dark mist burst forth high in the air...
The hero, who had been invincible just a mont ago, had been transford into minced at in this instant.
The Masked Strange Person was dead.
Despite having read in the diary from the start that he died at the hands of the headmaster, such an unfolding still struck Bai Wu as incredible.
The death of the Masked Strange Person of the First Generation...
It didn’t seem like he died at the hands of the headmaster, but more like he died to destiny.
Was he really dead?
A being akin to a demigod that appeared seven hundred years ago, could he really die over such a minor character?
Bai Wu couldn’t believe it, yet the reality was right before his eyes.
Of course, the headmaster wasn’t so minor character; as the strongest among the disciples, Bai Wu wasn’t confident he could kill it without the use of the watch.
But when compared to the Masked Strange Person, the headmaster was on an entirely different level.
"No, he isn’t dead."
At this mont, Bai Wu suddenly thought of sothing. If the Masked Strange Person was truly dead, why would he take back his knife?
His body had been crushed into minced at, yet the knife was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, the Mirror Imprisonnt he had used seven hundred years ago shouldn’t still possess the power to bind those in the mirror after his death.
"His body contained a Sequence and Entries related to space-ti; those induced the Fusion Disease. Maybe at the mont Fusion Disease erupted... his consciousness had already shifted elsewhere? Or... does his body contain a Sequence similar to Three Souls Transmigration?"
Bai Wu couldn’t believe such a powerful being would just perish like this.
But Jiang Yimi was unaware. In the eyes of this girl, the hope that had erged so difficultly had been completely shattered.
When He Shuhong, Jiang Huan, and Lin Yiping died, she blad herself, thinking that she was a monster, and that monsters should stay away from people.
Life could still go on, just in greater solitude.
But as she looked at the bits of flesh and blood mist in the sky, Jiang Yimi suddenly couldn’t bear it any longer. She let out a piercing scream, her face contorted with grief.
The black matter that had previously been suppressed by the Masked Strange Person began spreading at an inconceivable speed.
Bai Wu also noticed this scene and looked at Jiang Yimi in astonishnt.
The entire campus felt like a small town about to be swept away by a surging flood.
That cataclysmic power was suddenly converging inside the girl. Originally, Jiang Yimi could control the black matter that devoured fate within a certain range.
But with her emotions out of control, Jiang Yimi’s body started displaying the sa reaction as the Masked Strange Person—Fusion Disease broke out.
In this mont, Bai Wu finally understood that neither the headmaster nor the disciples mattered compared to the girl before him.
The power known as misfortune began to rampage unchecked, and the enormous malevolent eye in the sky, basking in the joy of victory, was abruptly shrouded by a force so vast it was beyond belief!
