I am Jinshan Youxia

Rhythmic footsteps approached, followed by a chorus of questions.

I love you so much!

I love you so much!

Will my relationship have a future?

A slender, handsome young man in black, with pure white eyes, wore a malicious smile. His dark purple lips reflected an ominous luster as he slightly parted them:

"No."

"There will absolutely be no result."

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" The women, covered in blood and with deep knife wounds on their necks, screamed wildly as they rushed toward the man standing with his arms hanging down in front of them.

[This boy is still alive. His twisted mind is so extreme that even mold cannot infect him in the slightest, and even the ultimate power dissipation has no effect. Unlike Ya, he has completely transformed into a humanoid, out-of-control rule...]

Zhang Chengyi frowned, not attempting to attack the group of female ghosts who had already become regulated. He quickly became invisible, and with the support of his mental power, floated into the dusty, empty courtyard next door.

The handsome young man in black, with a faint smile on his face, walked away step by step. The mist gradually contracted, and the female ghosts, having lost their target, quickly disappeared with the mist.

[To exploit the rules, to become the rules, and ultimately to become humanity's nightmare—if we were to follow the comic book's logic...]

Zhang Chengyi revealed himself after some thought.

We have compiled information and containment plans for all the out-of-control rules in Japan, and most of them have been contained with the assistance of the police and churches. However, there are still some out-of-control rules that cannot be resolved and can only be delayed.

For example, there are cities without streets, cities with maps, and parallel world villas of Oshikiri. The out-of-control rules in front of us, which were once called "the beautiful boy at the crossroads" by the Japanese Investigation Agency, are one of them.

This out-of-control rule is strictly called "crossroads divination," which involves standing at a crossroads and asking the first person passing by whether the divination will succeed. After it goes out of control, the woman who is divining will encounter a handsome young man in black at a foggy crossroads. He will definitely say something negative and ominous, which will lead to the woman committing suicide and becoming a ghost that follows the handsome young man in black.

The fundamental reason why crossroads divination cannot be accommodated is that it involves a living person.

Even if no one performs divination, it will randomly appear at the crossroads of a city or town. As long as someone glances at the handsome young man in black, they will be immediately bewitched, become infatuated, and take the initiative to perform divination, eventually slitting their own throat and committing suicide at the crossroads.

Zhang Chengyi has been playing with the handsome young man in black for several months.

Summoning the fog was effortless for him, and the conditions for divination were even simpler. Knowing that the black-clad handsome boy would appear roughly at dawn and dusk, he would summon the black-clad handsome boy twice a day in this abandoned town to ensure that it would not run away to other places to kill people.

There was no way around it; apart from him, no one could resist the black-clad handsome boy's gaze, and even the mushroom clone was instantly captivated.

The key is that the handsome boy in black has a human brain. After being called by the mushroom clone several times, he simply ignored this fragile temporary mind. Since there was no way to call it through the mushroom clone, the only option was to let the lord of the swarm, who was not afraid of mind contamination, take its place.

Otherwise, a containment measure that requires two people to die every day is a bit too disgusting.

But Zhang Chengyi happened to have read this Junji Ito manga. There was a movie adaptation of the manga, and he had watched it with someone in his past life. After watching the movie, he felt that the movie was a bit boring, so he read the original manga, which was quite good and left a deep impression on him.

The story is roughly about how the male protagonist, Ryusuke, met a pregnant woman at a crossroads when he was a child. He casually said something negative, which led to the woman slitting her throat and committing suicide. Later, when he grew up, a handsome boy appeared at the crossroads, and many girls committed suicide.

Ryosuke gradually discovers that he is the source of everything. He eventually finds out that the woman he killed when he was a child is actually his childhood friend 'Green's' aunt. Green was also hypnotized by the handsome boy in black and committed suicide at the crossroads. In the end, the male protagonist, dressed in white, rushes up to try to kill the handsome boy in black, but is killed by the female ghosts who are following him.

Then, a handsome young man in white appeared at the crossroads, bringing happiness. He not only brought good luck to others but also purified the souls of those killed by the handsome young man in black.

Upon revisiting it and comparing it with the out-of-control rules of the current world, Zhang Chengyi realized something interesting.

If out-of-control rules can be twisted into something more terrifying by human malice, can they also be transformed into something more benevolent by human kindness?

If that's the case, then he can understand why human civilization has developed to this point under the threat of out-of-control rules, and why the mold is trapped in a man-made bottle.

There are always some people who are willing to make sacrifices.

Even without me, would this world necessarily perish?

Zhang Chengyi looked up at the moon in the sky.

Never mind, the lunar colonization program is basically complete, and some people have even settled on Mars. The next step is to develop Mars and go into deep space without having to deal with most of the out-of-control rules on Earth.

For these kinds of out-of-control rules that follow humans everywhere, the only way to control them is to use his body to restrain them.

-----------------

N City Laboratory.

"Minzhi, pack your things and take the rest of the group to the moon."

While assembling the mycelium in his hands, Zhang Chengyi spoke without looking up.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Furuhata Toshiyuki responded as always, then remained silent for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, your health..."

Most of humanity has now evacuated to the Moon and Mars. Few humans remain on Earth; most are responsible for maintaining bases and ensuring that contained objects do not escape containment measures.

"I have many bodies, so I don't care about one or two," Zhang Chengyi said casually. He had spent a lot of evil people's minds to break the restriction that his body could only move around near those infected with fungus, all in order to protect the earth.

On one hand, there are many uncontrolled rules on Earth that disregard spatial limitations and could potentially reach humans on other planets. On the other hand, these uncontrolled rules are of great research value, and he wants to protect them as anchor points for other worlds to connect with.

"Your Highness, I'll stay and keep you company."

Furuhata Toshiyuki lowered his head and said that as one of the earliest doctors and researchers to join the Lord of the Bacteria, he knew that His Highness did not leave with only one or two bodies, but that most of his body remained to guard many unsolvable aliens for humanity.

Zhang Chengyi looked up and laughed, "Are you staying here to cause me trouble?"

"I'm leaving soon. You, and Goro Furuhata and the others, all of you get outside. What are you doing staying here with me? The future of humanity depends on you. I can't help you any further."

Furuhata Toshiyuki's lips trembled slightly as he was about to say a few more words of persuasion.

"This is an order." Zhang Chengyi's words completely sealed off any possibility of him saying anything more.

"Yes, Your Highness."

This is His Highness's first order.

Chapter 356 The Covenant Between Man and God

Two hours later, at the central square of N City.

"Your Highness~"

The mushroom-man knelt on the ground, choking back tears, and hugged Zhang Chengyi's legs with both hands. "Come with us, Your Highness."

"Snap! Thud!"

Zhang Chengyi decisively slapped the mushroom man unconscious, picked him up and threw him to Furuhata Goro, saying, "Whether it's fungi or mushrooms, you can continue to develop even without me."

"Remember, you have less than sixteen years left. If you cannot escape at faster than the speed of light, or find a way to destroy Hellstar, then annihilation is the only way out."

For a long time after he finished speaking, no one made any move or expression; they were all watching him.

"With such a tight schedule, let's skip the sentimental stuff."

He spread his hands and said, "I think if you insist on arguing about whether I'm with you or not, why don't we agree to meet again in forty years?"

Thirty years is roughly enough time for other bodies to connect to this world. If the humans in this world can survive, they might be able to come and become members of the new world.

A new world belonging to those skilled in game editing.

No matter how unreasonable the out-of-control rules are, leaving this world is always the best solution. He has never encountered a power that can extend to other worlds.

Man and God...

Is that an agreement?

The people around became even quieter.

Upon hearing that the leader of the microbial community had stayed behind, Matsui Keiichi, who had rushed back from the moon, was the first to bow and say:

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Why are you still looking at me? Do you want me to knock you all out and stuff you in here too?" Zhang Chengyi didn't want to force his own people, so he said in a more relaxed, almost joking tone.

When no one moved, he said in a commanding tone, "Go."

As symbiotic partners of the microbiome, none of them can resist their own bodies. The stronger they are and the more complete their symbiosis with the microbiome, the less they can resist the commands of the microbiome's master.

Watching everyone march in unison towards the central aviation mushroom, Zhang Chengyi's tone held a hint of melancholy as he spoke:

"I probably don't have any other bodies left for you to build the city, so don't count on me anymore."

"I'll take good care of Earth. As for the two bodies on the Moon and Mars, you don't need to worry about them if you want to leave. I'll bring them back when I have time."

That's about it.

He had already told everyone his plans and ideas for the future, including the security team led by Goro Furuhata, representing force; the church owned by Keiichi Matsui, representing rule; and hundreds of research and development projects, representing the future of laboratories.

Compared to other parallel worlds, the humans here certainly have a better chance of survival.

"Live on." Zhang Chengyi gave them his final order before they parted.

Of course, he didn't want this to be the last order given to humanity.

"Strive to live on, do everything you can to survive."

Matsui Keiichi gazed at humanity's god, his own god, and with a sincerity he had never shown before, spoke with the others:

"Yes, Your Highness."

-----------------

As the aircraft soared into the sky and quickly disappeared on the horizon, Zhang Chengyi sighed softly and walked into the empty city.

There are no normal humans left on Earth today.

Or rather, are there no humans left?

"Snap!" With a snap of his fingers, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, and a light drizzle took only a few seconds to form and fall.

Walking alone in an empty city during a light rain is a kind of romance, isn't it?

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock"

Zhang Chengyi walked unhurriedly, raindrops automatically sliding down his sides. He didn't use any abilities. His original body, composed of bacteria and headless corpses, couldn't keep up with the constant updates to his abilities, so he made a small innovation a few months ago.

That is, by using all sorts of abilities to reconstruct the body, one gains what can be described as an omnipotent power.

Does one's word become law, or rather, does the world move in accordance with one's heart?

It's about the same anyway.

To put it simply, the specific principle is that he uses the mental microbiota to anchor his existence, and uses the splitting microbiota to disassemble his body and enter the microscopic world.

The large number of bacteria in his body and the special abilities of the Bacterium Master all became part of the microscopic world under the influence of the splitting bacteria, and controlled everything nearby.

Using infinitely splitting microscopic particles as units, everything nearby becomes part of what he can control.

On the contrary, the body is not so important anymore; it can exist or it can not exist. To him, it is just an illusion.
