Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 200, Section 031: Anomaly
"Jin".

"Jin".

The other person's voice was very pleasant. Jin Ziyue looked up and saw the girl's empty yet gentle eyes.

"good--"

Qing Yise gently stroked him, a smile playing on her lips, but her face wasn't as lively as Qing Yise's.

She smiled sweetly: "That's wonderful."

Jin Ziyue's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. His body, which had turned into wispy dust, silently gathered back into his body. Countless streams of light, fragmented and shimmering, condensed into his pale face.

The man knelt on the ground, and in the instant he looked up, he met the girl's gaze.

It was as if time and space had stood still.

The beautiful girl stood gracefully, her hair remaining untouched by the messy wind and sand.

When the girl smiled, her eyes were vacant, yet the man's defeated face was reflected in her crystalline pupils. Damp sweat matted his hair into clumps, and his sunken eye sockets made him look somewhat gaunt.

Jin Ziyue felt a sense of peace for no reason, and all his weariness vanished.

The restless pronouncements, surprisingly, like docile wild beasts, slowly returned to calm.

The rushing dust subsided, the air currents were no longer as turbulent as they had been at the beginning, and the howling wind gradually died down.

……

Fujiwara Chizuru walked to the viewing platform on the second floor, but the raging dust storm made it impossible for her to open her eyes. She didn't even have time to put on her glasses, so she could only use one hand to shield herself from the wind and the other hand to take out the filming equipment that Ling had prepared for her in advance.

She could see a figure in the very center of the training ground, but it was too far away. She could only keep zooming in, covering her mouth and nose, enduring the dust, and painstakingly taking pictures.

There was a large bundle hanging beside her, indicating she was unconscious.

Fujiwara Chizuru always had a strange feeling that there was something she had always wanted to explore at the center of the storm.

As the sandstorm subsided, she tried to find a way down.

There were two silhouettes there, a man and a woman, in the eye of the storm.

……

"The base generated heavy smoke and dust, a large amount of equipment was interfered with and damaged, and the cameras preserved on site were also damaged, leaving only one lens."

On the other side, the doctor's staff reported on the situation at the scene.

“Enough. Very good, the puppet is getting close.” He rubbed his hands together expectantly. “As long as this switch is pressed, the bomb carried by [Hold Your Head and Feather] can detonate this woman directly, taking that kid’s life along with her.”

He stared at the small screen and said, "Three, two, one! Boom!"

He pressed the button in his hand abruptly.

In the video, the girl's gentle smile disappeared, her facial expression twisted, and she slumped against Jin Ziyue.

Jin Ziyue caught her.

The storm has subsided.

A blurry image appeared in the video.

Regaining his strength, Jin Ziyue carried the girl and retreated several times before turning and hiding in the uncorroded mechanical bunker.

The anticipated scenario of both exploding did not occur.

The doctor's smile gradually froze, his facial muscles failing to relax for a moment: "What happened! Why didn't it explode!"

He was a little exasperated.

"Chu Sang, can you still control the puppets over there?" He quickly turned around and looked at Chu Binlin, who was sitting in charge.

“No.” Chu Binlin adjusted his glasses and said, “From the moment we started, the sub-destiny phrase of her [Subordination] has lost its connection with the main destiny phrase.”

The doctor was somewhat surprised: "Then how did you manipulate her to approach the 'mirror'?"

Chu Binlin spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "I did not order her to get close to that man."

"Then how did she move?" the doctor asked in surprise.

"You'll have to ask yourself that, Doctor. Didn't you say that when the Destiny Word is activated, it will push out the host's soul, usurp the host's place, and become a soulless walking corpse?"

Chu Binlin countered with a question.

"This...she can't possibly have a soul! No matter how much she loves this man, the moment her soul is taken away, all that's left is a shell for him to use!"

The doctor was somewhat panicked, then another possibility came to mind: "Unless, unless it was the commandment itself! It was manipulating this body to save him!"

Chu Binlin pressed him coldly: "Don't joke around. If a destiny word that has separated from the main body for less than a year can have its own consciousness, what about those destiny words that take more than a hundred years to awaken their consciousness?"

"This...this is too weird!"

Unable to explain, the doctor seized upon Chu Binlin's flaw and retorted, "But the bomb is on the destiny inscription. If it's detonated, how could the 'Mirror' destiny inscription not be affected? Isn't there something wrong with your destiny inscription!"

“However, that sub-destiny phrase is indeed gone,” Chu Binlin said in a deep voice. “At the moment you detonated it, the main destiny phrase could sense that the [Under the Power of Man] kind of fluctuation destiny phrase had been completely annihilated.”

The doctor chuckled dryly: "You're not trying to tell me that this decree not only has its own consciousness, but also knows how not to harm others, are you?"

His expression changed drastically: "What a joke! I have studied destiny texts for decades and have never encountered such a destiny text. To have its own consciousness in less than a year and be able to decide its own life and death is completely illogical!"

Chu Binlin stared at the screen, while Jin Ziyue remained silent in the corner where he was hiding.

The doctor looked at him with a mocking expression: "Don't tell me that Mingci would fall in love with a human? Either I'm the one with the problem, or the world is! When it separated from us half a month ago, this Mingci clearly didn't even have consciousness, and now, Mingci is actually sacrificing itself for humans? This abnormal phenomenon is completely inconsistent with Mingci's habits!"

Chu Binlin examined it for a long time before saying, "I don't know either."

"Chu Sang, you are also a unique genius of the Fate Master clan. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for this matter. A tool's fate has actually developed a rebellious consciousness. The experiment has reached a critical stage. If such inexplicable anomalies occur again, it will probably not be a good thing for the leader."

The doctor stared at him intently.

"A genius?" Chu Binlin murmured to himself. "I wish I were one, but that guy is always one step ahead of me. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm just a stepping stone for him."

"Him?" The doctor stared at the man who suddenly jumped up in the video, seemingly about to make a move.

In the surveillance footage, the man's face, with all his features turned into dust by the "carbon dioxide," slowly appeared in the policewoman's field of vision. His trench coat fluttered in the airflow, and without any facial features, he looked like a faceless person devoid of any emotion.

He turned around, looked at the camera, raised his hand, and the metallic silver light magnified infinitely on the screen.

Soon, even the last camera feed turned into a static screen.

"Hmm." Chu Binlin gazed intently at the crackling screen and said meaningfully:

"More terrifying than his genius is his claim to be a Fate Master from another dimension."

I've been feeling a bit down lately, so the climax of the story is a bit off. Please forgive me.
