Chapter 882: 880: The Infiltration of Malice
[Evil] wants to completely infiltrate a world, but it’s not that simple in reality.
Just as in the Old World where the Patient lives, there exists the "World Consciousness," also known as the Sick Focus.
There are even many organizations serving the World Consciousness, such as the Suffering Monastery on the world’s surface or the Internal Affairs Managent Team responsible for Path developnt and Patient ascension embedded within the world.
As long as the World Consciousness exists, the world will not be easily destroyed.
Even back when the Evil Sun fell, rules were sealed, and reproductive rights were completely stripped away, the Sick Focus was still capable of driving the world to wander across planes, seeking worlds with similar attributes and species for parasitism to ensure survival, guaranteeing the diversification and evolution ability of the illness.
The term "Survival Desire" can be used to describe this self-preservation ability of the World Consciousness. Once the world is invaded, this ability gets passively triggered.
Though typical worlds can’t compare to the vibrant Sick Focus, World Intent still exists.
When [Evil] from between planes corrodes the world, the World Consciousness will be alert at the first instant, stopping its spread at all costs.
The world seems similar to usual, but it’s actually protected by the World Consciousness.
For instance, Yi Chen and the others ca to this world numbered [1910] searching for William.
When the World Consciousness sensed danger, it activated a rule-driven defensive permission among the sun, rendering sunlight capable of suppressing evil, thus forming this [day-safe night-dangerous] world pattern. Humans living here unconsciously receive warnings from the World Consciousness, strictly adhering to curfews.
Additionally, it’s very important that,
The foundation of the Simulated World lies in the diverse [people];
as long as people are alive, with no malicious thoughts in their hearts, dispersing the accumulated dark emotions under sunlight, this world can continue to survive.
However... when certain people strongly associated with the world have problems, malice can project entirely onto the world through these unique individuals, causing the World Consciousness to tremble.
This murderer from twenty years ago nad [Li Zhao] is such a unique individual.
When he was ten years old, he relocated with his divorced mother to a resettlent apartnt.
Initially, residents here discovered that Li Zhao’s mother seed to have ntal problems, possessing an extre desire for control over her son.
Every day after school, his mother would check his backpack, ask who he talked to, and firmly oppose any interactions with females, even those residing in the resettlent apartnt.
Many tis, the mother would secretly follow Li Zhao to and from school. Whenever she saw him talking to female classmates, she would rush over and slap Li Zhao, then use extrely harsh words to drive the girl away, ensuring she wouldn’t interact with her son anymore.
Finally,
On one day, while heading ho after school, a severe car accident suddenly occurred behind him. Approaching the scene, Li Zhao found his mother, who had been secretly following him, trapped under a large truck.
At that mont, he laughed out loud, louder than anyone else.
In reality, the mother’s ’controlling desire’ previously didn’t exist, nor did she have any ntal illness.
Years ago, when the family lived in the countryside, the seven-year-old Li Zhao coaxed a female classmate into his ho and brutally murdered her.
The girl was found partly being eaten by the yard’s dog and partly undergoing perverse treatnt by Li Zhao. .
The father had already noticed sothing wrong. After this incident, he left ho, but the mother refused to abandon him. The so-called controlling desire was actually supervision to ensure Li Zhao would refrain from harming other females.
Without the constraint of the mother’s chain, Li Zhao’s true nature began to be released.
Born with a murderous instinct, in an era lacking information, he successfully committed cris and obtained a large amount of money from the victims.
Using the money, he bought the entire resettlent apartnt building, started a hotel business, embarked on his true criminal path.
The newspaper registered only a small fraction,
His murder count reached over seventy people, besides throwing bodies to feed dogs, there were so truly beautiful, complete corpses bricked into the building.
Every day, he would pass by these corpses and talk to the walls.
Gradually,
Li Zhao, along with the stray cats and dogs he fed around him, and the entire building, seed to rge into one.
The serial murder case from twenty years ago remained unsolved, keeping the whole city under the shadow of Li Zhao’s slaughter. For a long ti, won dared not go out alone.
Any stranger entering the hotel’s vicinity would be sensed by Li Zhao imdiately, and they would feel a mysterious chill.
As if this [land] were already claid by Li Zhao.
With tis changing and buildings deteriorating,
Fewer people ca to stay, and improved cri-solving skills had Li Zhao detect danger multiple tis.
Upon embedding the final corpse to complete the whole building, Li Zhao chose to wash his hands off cri, but still perford caressing, licking, and even impulsive acts in front of the walls embedding corpses daily.
With malice gradually infiltrating this world,
The deeply embedded evil within Li Zhao received the evil’s calling in an instant, yet his perseverance remained exceptionally strong.
He didn’t imdiately succumb. He had already completed his work, now he just wished to end life simply.
Unfortunately, the perating evil began to slowly influence him,
With the arrival of Jin, the foreign beauty, the accumulated malice within him exploded instantly, once again sinking into past evil.
Guided by the evil, he made a trade, acquiring inhuman power.
However, the situation changed.
In Li Zhao’s decades-long ingrained perception, a woman he should easily overpower now made him unable to even touch the skin, causing his limbs to break and forcing him to kneel.
Attempting to raise his head to see the woman’s face, he could only see half a face and a calm smile, the kind only he had shown before.
At this mont, Li Zhao’s confidence and belief as a murderer collapsed, his will shook.
Nearing death, he chose to hand over his ’property,’ with a simple condition for the other party to completely kill the woman and bury her in the building, adding the final touch to his masterpiece.
Malicious infiltration,
A certain unique [Evil] replaced Li Zhao, taking control of the building, and the area. Hence, the world’s Malice value increased by 1%.
Crash crash!
Torrential rain began seeping into the building, streams ford between the structures, and walls started breaking down from the rain’s soaking, exposing the corpses buried inside.
Each one bore a perfect physique and shaved hairstyle, glaring with blood-red eyes, seemingly harboring endless resentnt toward the world.
Yet,
As the thin and long man in the round hat ascended the staircase, droplets full of resentnt flowed out of the corpses’ seven orifices and absorbed into him, the remaining corpses scattered as dust.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The large-sized leather shoes stepped through the soaked passage, arriving at the door of Jin’s guest room.
Squeak~ The door pushed open!
Sizzle sizzle... in the supposedly powered-off room, the TV flickered with static.
Moreover, a long-haired woman sat motionless before the TV.
The slender presence could distinctly sense the life aura emanating from the woman in front of the TV, but upon nearing found the woman was rely a cluster of cancer cells dressed and topped with hair.
Just as he prepared to use rain to sense the possible hidden target,
Snap!
The video player on the TV suddenly started playing.
The static shifted to a bleeding smile face, a different kind of evil, not belonging to him, began spreading throughout the room, and faint laughter could be heard around his ears.
