Black Book

Chapter 6 Dark Awakening
It was as if an evil whisper from the depths of the void was echoing in his ears. Even the young man, who was about to die, could not help but tremble and shudder.

With one hand he fixed the "sacrifice" to the ground, and with the other hand he stretched out two fingers, stabbing at the young man's eyes like an eagle's claws, ready to dig out his eyeballs and then dismember his organs bit by bit.

It was like enjoying a sumptuous feast. Zhu Haomiao was filled with joy and fully savored the thrill of killing.

But just as his fingertips were about to touch the young man's eyeballs, the excited and joyful smile on Zhu Haomiao's face paused slightly, and a faint clear light appeared in the depths of his scarlet pupils.

Although that spiritual light was tiny, it was like a magic needle that suppressed the deepest part of the pupil, and no matter how the scarlet and cruel evil light hit it, it remained motionless.

Killing people is okay...

But you can't be manipulated to kill people...

I'm not a tool!
No one can force me to do something I don't want to do!
With a strong rebellious mentality, the two fingers hovered in front of the young man's eyes and never moved again, and the force that was strangling his throat became looser and looser.

"Huh~Huh~Huh~"

Fresh air rushed in from the tiny airways, and the young man greedily breathed in the source of life, his chest making a wheezing sound like a bellows.

As he inhaled oxygen, his consciousness, which had been blurred by suffocation, quickly returned to clarity. The young man looked up at the boy who stood up tremblingly. He felt that the originally small and thin body seemed as majestic as a god or devil at this moment. For a moment, he lay at his feet and did not dare to move at all.

"roll……"

"what?"

"I said get out!!!"

"Get out of my brain!"

"Get out of my body!"

"Get out of my soul!!!"

The roars of hundreds of millions of people reverberated across his soul, and like a physical shock wave, swept through his internal organs, causing traces of blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.

He realized that the boy's attention was not on him at all, but was fighting against some invisible thing. Like a young man who had been pardoned, he did not care about the damage to his organs. He rolled and crawled, running all the way. After his embarrassing escape, he did not even dare to look back and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

"Whoo~~~"

The heavy breathing gradually subsided, and the young man who stayed where he was straightened his hunched back slowly. He didn't care at all that the prey had escaped. He tried his best to suppress the out-of-control killing desire, and his trembling body gradually calmed down.

"No matter what you are, I am myself, not a puppet of desire..."

"Don't try to distort and alienate me..."

"I will never give in!!"

The self-hypnotic whispers seemed to have triggered a mysterious force in the dark. Zhu Haomiao clenched his teeth, stared into the void with a distorted and ferocious expression, and spoke word by word.

"It's yours only if I give it to you. If I don't give it to you, you can't snatch it away!!"

The next second, the light in his eyes suddenly bloomed, like the rising sun melting the ice and snow, gradually suppressing the raging, out-of-control desire back into the depths of the ocean of consciousness.

In an instant, a blessing came to his mind, as if he had entered some kind of wonderful supernatural state. The boy looked down in shock, his sight penetrating the barriers of flesh, blood, bones, time, space, and even dimensions. He saw a mass of indescribable and wriggling darkness containing all colors, lurking deep in his heart.

There is infinite power hidden in that darkness!
It also contains endless evil!
He is the ladder of progress for all things!
It is also the source of the fall of all things!
The next second, Zhu Haomiao felt something in his heart and looked up in shock. His sight passed through the chaotic void and he saw hundreds of magnificent stars blooming in the sky, resonating with the darkness in his heart.

In the dark, as if being violently stimulated, the stars are trembling in fear...

Immediately, the divinity condensed, and scorching stars descended from the highest sky. Among them, the seven star-like energy bodies were the most blazing, and the original light descended from the unmanifested non-material interface, condensing into tangible matter step by step, faintly resonating with Zhu Haomiao at a deeper level.

Afterwards, more divinities invaded the material interface. Light beams invisible to the naked eye pierced through the boundary between reality and illusion, fell to the ground, and collapsed into shining humanoid entities.

The shock of the first glimpse had not yet been fully savored. As the extreme emotions faded, fatigue came over me like a tide. The vision beyond human senses quickly blurred and dissipated, and the world returned to its familiar and peaceful appearance.

The pain of overdraft was like countless steel needles piercing and surging in the body. Even with Zhu Haomiao's will, he was unable to continue studying the abnormalities inside and outside the body. He could only drag his scarred body and limp towards the dormitory.

Not long after he left, a one-armed, hale and hearty old man slowly walked out from a dark corner, staring at Zhu Haomiao's back, frowning in confusion.

【Zhu Haomiao】

United Nations SD·CN-red109 (Red Nation-Destroying Level) Supernatural Disaster Survivor

He claims to be a Chinese citizen, but no trace of his existence can be found in the real world. He is suspected to be an invasive species that remains from a brief coupling between the [High Heavenly Rank] fantasy realm and reality.

Form: Standard human
Sex: Male
Age: 16 years old

Intelligence: Normal

Learning ability: Average

Can communicate: Yes
Physical strength: Weak (severe malnutrition, developmental delay)
Mental strength: Normal (with its own law-level mental barrier, immune to all currently known mental detection methods)
Memetic Contamination: None
Personality Assessment: B
Friendly assessment: Negative (emotional instability, abnormal mental fluctuations)

Current processing: Management and teaching of the Central Supernatural College of the Chinese Imperial Capital
Emergency Response Plan: Humane Eradication——
Staring at the information on the tablet, Zhu Huazang pondered for a long time, and finally stretched out his finger to change the [Friendly Assessment] from [Negative] to [Cautiously Optimistic].

Then, after a long and even more serious thought, Zhu Huazang looked at his empty right arm, his eyes slightly absent-minded.

When was the last time you felt fear?

That’s right, before I faced the gods as a mortal and slaughtered them all...

From then on, I, who had understood the meaning of life and death, never felt fear again.

Because, nothing is more terrifying than death...

But just now when he was secretly observing Zhu Haomiao, there was a moment when he felt the long-lost creepy feeling.

Although the feeling was fleeting, so fast that even his mind thought it was an illusion, his supernatural divine intuition told him that it was not an illusion. He really felt unspeakable terror from a 16-year-old mortal!
That is the unknown beyond death!
It is a distortion more terrifying than annihilation!

Then, Zhu Huazang looked at the ridiculous B-level character assessment and raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner.

Even this B-level rating is probably due to his inherent law-level mental barrier, right?
Otherwise, with his frail physique and mental strength no different from that of an ordinary person, he would be at most a D-level personnel.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huazang couldn't help but sigh: "Even the [Gods of the World] standing at the top of the Ninth Heaven would be afraid of you, boy, you are really a hidden talent..."

While murmuring, he moved his fingertips, adjusting the status assessment in the data step by step.

B→A→S→SS→SSS……

Until finally, a prompt popped up on the tablet.
