The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1161 Reunion at Hongshan
These people in white coats who just arrived are attempting to use mind control.

Liu Sheng could tell.

The red-haired girl was still struggling desperately, her body taut like a bow about to break, but the whites of her eyes kept rolling upwards, and her facial muscles were twitching violently.

It was as if countless opposing forces were forcibly squeezing into her brain, trying to tear her mind apart and then rebuild it.

But the girl clearly has a very high level of influence.

So it wasn't just her spirit that was torn apart.

And the world around us.

A fierce storm raged, with torrential rain and massive organs crashing down, filling the air with the stench of blood.

Many other time and spacetime fragments are also interspersed throughout.

That was because when the girl's mind was being manipulated, it created a powerful reflection of reality, thus distorting spacetime in reality.

In a daze, Liu Sheng saw everything she had experienced in those fragmented pieces.

Seeing that she had been imprisoned since childhood and forced to become an obedient experimental subject...

She watched as children of similar age were pushed in, died in the fighting, and in the end, she was the only one left...

and also……

Many of "her" lie in the cold cabins...

A painful roar echoed between heaven and earth.

Even the storm was abruptly halted by the sound.

Many people bled from their seven orifices on the spot, and their white coats were quickly stained red, but they still did not stop controlling the girl.

But the girl's influence is growing.

In the churning clouds of the sky, a spatial rift slowly opened—

In the darkness, countless eyes were peering outwards.

Eyes, layered upon layered, were squeezed into the depths of darkness, cold and indifferent, like some colossal being casting its gaze upon this world through the crack.

This time, even Liu Sheng felt a tightness in his chest.

A feeling of fear washed over me.

Just like when she first glimpsed a corner of "Mom's" complete form.

Liu Sheng didn't know what it was.

But I also know that thing absolutely cannot come.

Once it arrives, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

So she stopped waiting and stepped forward, traversing space, unleashing countless tentacles that knocked down all the people in white coats.

At this time, many structures that were not clearly visible and that people dared not look at slowly began to emerge from the crack.

A heavy pressure loomed over this sea area, the surging water was almost as high as the mountains, and the reefs were like small sailboats on the sea, about to capsize at any moment.

Liu Sheng tried to rush forward to stop her, but overwhelming fear brought her down from mid-air.

At this critical moment that is about to descend!
Everything suddenly stopped.

The waves froze like mountains, and the raindrops hung in the air like pearls; everything seemed to have been paused.

Liu Sheng looked up—

Liu Hongshan was standing in front of the red-haired girl, cupping her face in his hands.

Two identical faces were facing each other.

The girl looked stunned.

Liu Hongshan remained calm.

She didn't say much.

"You're not like that..."

“You know, you’re not like that…”

A ray of light appeared from the dark clouds, piercing through the gloom before them. The storm finally stopped, and the huge crack in the sky gradually contracted. The creature within roared in resentment, but in the end, it could only drift away.

The red-haired girl had tears in her eyes.

She wanted to say something.

But as the distortion of spacetime is restored, everything gradually fades away.

The face in Liu Hongshan's palm disappeared.

However, there was a new hole in the transparent wall, the same hole that had just trapped the girl. It was the same size as her and only Liu Hongshan could squeeze through.

This cage was indeed built with the premise of restricting spatial abilities and high-intensity impacts, so even Liu Sheng's [Rule: Space] could not be used.

Liu Hongshan silently slipped inside.

Tear open the mattress and find a doll about the size of a thumb.

She has a big head, round eyes, an exaggeratedly wide mouth, pigtails, and wears a peeling red vest dress and red leather shoes.

Liu Hongyi waited outside the whole time.

Seeing Liu Hongshan bring out this item, a complicated smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to gently embrace her.

Liu Hongshan returned the hug without hesitation.

The two embraced, so tightly they seemed like one person.

Gradually, they really did begin to merge.

The skin and flesh were stuck together, and the outlines gradually overlapped.

In the end, only one person remained.

Her face resembled Liu Hongyi, and also Liu Hongshan.

Half of her hair was red, as vibrant as fire; the other half was almost snow-white gold, as if her hair had turned white.

His age is ambiguous, like a boy under twenty, yet he exudes a sense of age and experience.

A pair of emerald green eyes tinged with blood red looked at Liu Sheng, their gaze filled with sorrow and indescribable emotions, as deep as an endless void.

The two sat together on the rocks, watching the waves crash in the distance.

After a long silence, General Hongshan finally spoke:
"I finally remember."

“I was exiled here as a criminal of the Empire.”

“This place is far from the Federal Empire, resources are scarce, and it is likely to be the first to be hit by the first wave of floods, making it a suitable place to exile prisoners like me.”

"And those who are willing to colonize this place are almost all people who, for various reasons, cannot make it in the Federation and have been marginalized."

"For example, Dr. Bell—for promoting digitized life, tricking others into uploading their consciousness, and privately creating digital life, he crossed ethical boundaries; Greta Izetta—for genetic purification, mass-producing purebred humans; Nora Tyran—for creating stellar weapons to destroy stars, causing the destruction of numerous planets..."

Liu Sheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

This... they're all villains.

"And I..."

General Hongshan lowered his eyes.

"Because of repeatedly launching interstellar wars, he committed Imperial military crimes."

This was said very softly.

But Liu Sheng knew how much bloodshed and turmoil lay behind this.

Although she is still a "frog in a well" who has never truly stepped out of the galaxy, she can imagine that every interstellar war means the destruction of a planet, or even a galaxy.

"However, starting a war certainly wasn't your decision alone, was it?"

General Hongshan gave a bitter smile:
"of course not."

"That was decided by the Supreme Council of the Federal Empire and the Emperor. I am just a sword."

Liu Sheng remained silent: "It really is true... once the cunning rabbit dies, the good bow is put away."

General Hongshan shook his head: "There's no way around it. When an empire changes, the new dynasty has to blame the old one. Too many wars have drained the people and the nation's coffers, leaving the treasury empty; too many massacres have damaged the faith... Of course, someone has to bear the responsibility for all of this."

"Later, I was exiled here." General Hongshan turned around, staring blankly at the cage, "and this cage was built just for me."

"Life here is too lonely and solitary."

"Moreover... those people from the empire come here repeatedly... to conduct various... studies on me."

General Hongshan pursed his lips.

It seems to have stirred up some painful memories.

Liu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Thinking of those white coats, the skilled mind control, General Hongshan's pained expression, and finally his complete loss of control...

A thought suddenly exploded in her mind. Liu Sheng abruptly looked up at General Hongshan.

"them……"

"I want to copy you!"

"Yes."

General Hongshan nodded.

"And it actually succeeded."

"By simulating my mental fluctuations, combined with Bell's consciousness uploading experiment, and Izeta's gene manufacturing technology, a 'Red Mountain General' who is stronger, more obedient, and more loyal than me was finally created."

“From then on, ‘General Red Mountain’ became a symbol, a weapon, and no longer me…”

“So, from now on, you can still call me—” she paused, “Liu Hongshan.”

Liu Sheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are still Liu Hongshan."

Liu Hongshan continued, "And I, gradually under the repeated stimulation of various emotions, and the self-loathing of becoming a weapon, gradually... developed a mental distortion."

"thereby……"

"It created another person."

Liu Sheng understood.

That was the head nurse in red, or rather, Liu Hongyi.

"So in my mind, there are two scenarios."

“One is a mental hospital—that’s my deeper self, my madness and violence, and the part of me I hate, so I need it to suppress that side of me.”

"At the same time, I also need another setting—Hongshan Memorial Park, which is the version of myself I want to remember, a radiant and respected figure—so I also need her to worship me and remember me."

"As for this..." She looked down at the small doll lying in her palm, "You know what? This was my only toy when I was a child."

"So, I also need a place to make up for the happiness I lost long ago, a place where I can play in my mind all day or all year to get through these long and lonely years."

At this moment, many things that had seemed incongruous and strange finally found their explanation.

Although they found the core of their obsession and resolved it in the [Red Mountain Memorial Park], a place where the spiritual realm and the supernatural world were intertwined.

However, for Liu Hongshan, there is still a deep-seated obsession that has not been resolved, so he has been unable to regain his memories.

Even if it wasn't something worth remembering.

"Because I grew up under mind control, I am more familiar with the mind than anyone else."

"I'm always getting hurt, so naturally I know how to heal myself."

"As for the rest... it's the combat instincts and military strategic capabilities honed through years of training. Once I reached the 'Unknown' level, I also gained some knowledge of spacetime."

Liu Sheng nodded.

This corresponds perfectly with the abilities of Liu Hongshan and Liu Hongyi.

"Later, I spent too much time immersed in the spiritual world," Liu Hongshan said in a low voice, "so much so that without realizing it, I was able to move between different dimensions and different levels."

"But I myself never realized it."

"Until that one time... I finally couldn't hold back anymore and completely exploded."

Liu Sheng recalled the hand that pierced through the cage.

And beyond the crack in the sky, there lies that suffocating void.

A chill ran through me in an instant.

"That's why these people have been trying to find you, but they can't leave any explicit written explanations. They can only use these methods to subtly reveal their intentions..."

Liu Sheng suddenly realized, "Because these colonists want to launch a counterattack against the Federal Empire... a counterattack against the higher dimensions!"

"Yes."

Liu Hongshan nodded.

"This is a plan that has lasted for over a thousand years. Ever since they were exiled here, they have been hoping to one day fight their way back. But their hopes have grown increasingly slim until—my abilities appeared."

"But you ran away then."

“Yes.” Liu Hongshan did not deny it. “Back then, I almost destroyed the entire planet. Fortunately, I finally came to my senses and escaped into the mental sanctuary I built for myself, where Hongyi helped me suppress that part of me that was out of control.”

"until--"

"You've found me."

She looked at Liu Sheng, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Luckily you found me, otherwise, I would have fallen into their hands again..."

Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, "Then... the one who destroyed Ling Yuke should be another 'Red Mountain General'."

"I guess so." Liu Hongshan nodded. "I suspect that Dr. Bell and his people, under the guise of being in charge of the project, secretly left behind a copy of me."

Liu Sheng understood.

"Because that... was originally made to simulate your spirit, so as long as you come here, you will sense some residual ripples of memory."

"So I don't want her to remember."

Liu Hongshan raised his head, his eyes filled with a clear, light green. The bottomless void had disappeared, replaced by bright light.

Liu Sheng was taken aback.

"Red clothes?"

"Liu Hongshan" smiled slyly, "Of course, I haven't disappeared."

Liu Sheng showed a look of surprise.

"Look at you, you say you know what it means to be good to her, but you're clearly very reluctant to let me go."

Liu Sheng's cheeks felt slightly warm.

"So you..."

“It’s not because I’m afraid of disappearing that I don’t want her to remember me.”

Liu Hongyi took a piece of candy out of her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

“I know Red Mountain won’t let me disappear.”

“I just feel that when she thinks about it, all that hatred, that anger, that fear… will come back to her.”

"By that time, she would no longer be able to simply be Liu Hongshan happily."

She paused, the candy crunching between her teeth.

"She will definitely go back for revenge."

"We will take back everything that originally belonged to her."

"But that's too difficult..."

At this point, Liu Hongyi puffed out her cheeks and pouted, revealing a rare childlike sense of frustration.

To be fair, she was indeed several hundred years younger than Liu Hongshan.

"Even now, it's so difficult for us to establish a noble family and trample these guys—who Red Mountain never even took seriously—under our feet..."

Liu Sheng fell silent.

She rarely says discouraging things.

But Liu Hongyi is right.

She used to be able to say it without hesitation—

Don't worry, I'll help you.

But things are different now.

Now they are facing the behemoth that is the Federal Empire.

At this point, the Federal Empire had clearly reached a higher dimension—such an existence was so imaginable that it was difficult to have the confidence to defeat it.

Moreover, what lies ahead is a cold night and a great flood that could swallow everything at any moment.

She wasn't even sure if she could really get everyone away safely...

Suddenly, her hand was grasped.

Liu Hongyi's palms were warm, and her smile was bright.

"We're fine together."

"Let's get through this hurdle first."

"Let's get through the next hurdle."

"Then the next level."
