Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Can you succeed? Can you become that ultimately successful individual? Hold on, my dear lady, for perhaps you will become a great cornerstone of civilization.

His head turned little by little.

I looked at that person's face, at his arrogant and smug expression, and at the smile on his lips.

We need to increase the stimulus further. Here's what we can do: bring her family over.

The happy scene gradually shattered.

[Is this stimulation still not producing any further reaction? But she seems to really like children. How about we bring some people in from the immigrant and slum areas?]

All the beautiful memories vanished in the burning flames, leaving only piled-up ashes.

[Dead... So that's all there is to it. But we did get a lot of data and information, so at least it wasn't a complete waste. Well then, let's throw this one down into the Great Rift and see if anything changes this time.]

In the end, all that remained was the flame itself.

The fire of resentment that could not be extinguished, and the twisted madness that filled the heart after the complete collapse of will.

puff-

Its tattered body slid into the rock wall.

Her consciousness did not truly die.

She can still see, she can still hear, she can still feel everything.

The intense pain, whether it comes from the body or not, continues every moment.

Or perhaps it was the constant, desperate wails of the corpses that had been thrown down with them.

And from the end of the darkness, from that research base, came the man's righteous and triumphant voice.

We will build the ladder of human civilization's progress.

He walked upwards step by step, repeating the words he himself almost believed.

Her body rotted in the crack, slowly sliding deeper and deeper.

The pile of corpses had almost filled the deep crack.

Her rotten remains, almost entirely bones, gradually sank to the bottom of this dark rift.

She was buried here and could never leave.

We are the new era, we are the future.

Come on, let's raise a toast to the future of humanity!

anger.

Anger that burns the soul to ashes, that burns the entire self to ashes.

It wasn't just his own anger.

Rather, it is the rage of all those who perished here, trapped in despair, unable to find peace even in death.

She could feel the burning flames.

So intense, so real, just like the flames burning on her body.

So she started climbing.

It absorbs all the restless flames.

Little by little, he concentrated all his anger and despair into himself.

Everyone must be killed!

This obsessive fervor, when gathered together, ultimately coalesced into this simple thought.

Kill everyone in that research facility!

Kill them!

Kill them all!

All these people who harmed them, cruelly tortured and murdered them; all these people who spout morality and call themselves the ladder of civilization; all these disgusting people who compare themselves to the cornerstone of humanity—kill them all! Kill them all, leave not a single one alive!

kill!

kill! !

kill! ! !

Looking at the way you people are, honestly, I don't feel anything at all.

I am the supreme leader of the entire research base. That general is just a clueless fool. I am the one who can control everything.

I will climb step by step to higher positions, gain more power and wealth, and become a person of unimaginable importance to you.

[And you, haha, the progress of human civilization has indeed been contributed to, but so what? No one will remember your names, remember your experiences. You are nothing, you are worthless. That's just the truth, hahahaha.]

Hate me all you want, you can't change anything. There's no heaven or hell in this world. See? Someone like me should be considered utterly wicked, right? But I won't be punished. I won't go to jail, I won't be executed, I won't suffer any divine retribution, I won't experience the suffering you've all endured. No one will blame me, and even if I make mistakes, I will be forgiven. And one day, I will become a true god, I will become the supreme being above all others.

Darkness had enveloped the entire observation area.

The woman's hair was disheveled, and her white dress was stained with blood, completely covered in crimson.

The ground was shaking violently. The ring in Gao Hai's hand had disappeared. Andres's obsession shattered at this moment. He found satisfaction in returning to Hedar's side and began to gradually dissipate.

As for Hidal's obsession, it's unclear whether the warmth and beauty of the past still exist within it. It seems that they all vanished along with Andres, leaving behind a more terrifying, insane rage than before.

The door in Gao Hai's hand had already fallen to the ground, and he was facing Hedar directly in front of him.

Meanwhile, in the frozen zone, the moment the power was restored, Fujiwara Chika dragged another door in and burst in, panting as she looked at Maki and Kaguya, who had pinned Foln to the ground with their limbs almost completely broken. Without hesitation, she turned around and inserted the Blood Key into the lock of the door she had dragged over.

We cannot wait until Hedar arrives at the research area.

Once this core obsession enters the experimental zone, history will inevitably repeat itself, forcibly shutting down the cryogenics. The area will revert to its original state from the last day, and Foln will revert to its half-monster, half-human form. At that point, all efforts will have been in vain. Therefore, it is crucial to find a way for Hedar to come into contact with Foln as a human being without entering the experimental zone. Only then can this core obsession be completely broken, and only then can this situation have a chance to end.

Normally, as a top-tier difficulty dungeon of the Dark Night level, players who dare to challenge this level and attempt a perfect clear to break their obsession must have already survived multiple Dark Night level quests, obtained at least A-level Twilight and Dark Night buffs, and possess a comprehensive set of obsession items for teleportation, attack, defense, healing, spirit summoning, etc., or they would have a powerful team to attempt a quest of this caliber. However, unfortunately, Gao Hai couldn't do that because the cheat watch that gave him a chance to rewind was completely unreasonable, directly throwing him into this high-difficulty dungeon that only top players could showcase their skills, and wouldn't let him leave until he achieved a perfect ending.

Even so, he wasn't truly without options. While the Blood Key, this wondrous item, would become unusable when directly targeting the core obsession—for example, it couldn't open the door to room 304—just as it could open the door closest to room 304 in the Shirakawa apartment, after dismantling the doors to Xie Geila and Folen's offices, Gao Hai and Chika successfully connected them using the Blood Key, employing these two doors as a medium.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Foln, whose face was bruised and swollen, and whose hands and feet had been neatly broken by Kaguya Maki, couldn't help but let out a shrill howl the moment he saw the door in Fujiwara Chika's hand open.

Hedar, who was about to execute Gao Hai because of the rule of killing everyone he saw, suddenly froze his gaze behind the door, on Folneng, who was still existing as a human being in the still brightly lit cryo-zone.

【Aaaaaaaahh ...

The terrifying shriek nearly shattered Gao Hai's eardrums, causing both of his ears to bleed simultaneously.

The eerie figure in the blood-red dress arrived at the opened door in the next instant, and then stepped into the frozen zone illuminated by the cold light of the electric lamp.

The next moment, the unsolvable loop that had been going on for who knows how many years in this instance collapsed.

After Andres's obsession dissipated, the collapse of the instance caused by the disappearance of the core obsession that maintained the [Red Nut Gray Hole] area in the instance was accompanied by an incredibly violent earthquake that swept in at that moment.

boom--

Chapter 74: The Final Act of a Shattered World Begins

From intact to broken, it all happens in the blink of an eye.

The entire research institute was torn to pieces in an instant.

The ground collapsed, shattered, and split apart, becoming different fragmented areas of varying heights.

The lower Red Nut Gray Hole collapsed completely, torn into pieces like a child's toy. Some pieces fell directly into the endless darkness, while others barely maintained their intact structure and floated, but they seemed to be in imminent danger.

Click——click——

Amidst the cracking sounds, large and small pebbles continued to fall, plummeting into the darkness below, plunging into the void where nothing existed.

Just like the final stage of Shirakawa Apartments, this place has entered the countdown to destruction and collapse.

But it's not enough.

Gao Hai looked up at the rock fragments and building ruins of all sizes floating in mid-air.

Things have stabilized again.

Although this place is completely shattered, the fact is that it has stabilized again and has stopped collapsing.

Gao Hai knew why this was the case. This place couldn't be completely destroyed or dissipated because there were two core obsessions supporting this instance. Simply freeing one of them wouldn't be enough to completely destroy this place; the other core obsession also needed to be freed.

Andres has been freed, but Hedar has not yet been freed from this obsession.

But this shouldn't be the case. Why didn't she find relief?

Just a moment ago, the instant Hedar, clad in a blood-red dress, entered the cryogenic chamber, she should have completed her final killing, and this obsession should have been resolved.

Does Fornen have some other tricks up his sleeve?

Gao Hai stood up and stood in the dilapidated corridor, which was only half its original size.

The door in their hands led to an endless void. At the moment of the collapse, Fujiwara Chika was naturally unable to hold the door as steadily as Takami. Therefore, the door fell from where the three girls were and is now endlessly falling into the void.

There was no way to continue carrying this door forward. Gao Hai couldn't possibly carry this wooden door with him when he was going to play a jumping game on the various rock fragments of buildings that were spaced apart from each other.

With a touch of regret, Gao Hai tossed the door aside and watched it plunge into the darkness. He then looked up again. The sky above was also endless darkness, but within that darkness, the fragments of the building's rocks seemed to glow, allowing Gao Hai to continue to discern the structure of the place. Furthermore, at the highest point of this fragmented area, Gao Hai saw a winding staircase leading to a relatively intact platform—undoubtedly the exit of the Red Nut Gray Hole.

Getting to that place won't be easy. If he falls into the void from here, Gao Hai is certain he won't respawn like Steve or die during the fall.

Moreover, even if he could reach the exit, he couldn't do so now. After all, he needed to achieve a perfect completion to leave this hellish place, which meant he had to find out why Hidal's obsession hadn't been fulfilled, and find Foln, who should have died long ago but was still alive for some reason.

"call--"

Take a deep breath, jump, and land.

Gao Hai successfully crossed one platform and landed in another area.

It was at this time that he received a message from Princess Zhenfei and figured out the root of the problem.

"He can even pull off a fusion form trick? Does that mean to get rid of him, we'll have to figure out a way to separate him from his fused form again?"

After understanding the root of the problem, Gao Hai was dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain.

The reason why Foln survived without being killed by Hedar is simple: the purely bizarre Foln that blocked Kaguya Maki in the prison area appeared in the cryogenic zone, and then the two Folns directly merged together.

The bizarre power can split a person into two individuals, something Takahashi had already experienced back in the Shirakawa Apartments. Folneng likely gained inspiration from the human experiments on Lixer, thus splitting himself into two individuals. The purely bizarre Folneng was probably formed using his corpse, which was killed in the research area. This bizarre entity was merely a puppet, completely controlled by the other Folneng.

After the two merged, Folneng regained his [Strange] identity, making it impossible for Hedar's power to destroy him; it could only destroy his body. Furthermore, due to the collapse of the entire instance, Hedar, as the core obsession, was unable to execute Folneng in his complete form, allowing him to even escape.
