Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 138 Transcription

The God's emotionless prompt rang in Mu Xiang's mind, but he ignored it and instead asked directly about the situation on Zhan Lan's side.

“The mental energy consumption has stopped,” Zhan Lan replied. “I’ll help Qi Tengyi take care of it.”

Mu Xiang said he understood, and then went to Pickman's body.

The reason for prioritizing the attack on the body was that, in Mu Xiang's X-ray vision, Pickman's stomach was clearly the core... Both the rotting flesh continuously being transported from it and the tentacles rooted in it and spreading throughout his body were highly suspicious.

As the remaining energy erupted from within, destroying Pickman's head along with it, it ceased to live. The putrid flesh and blood flowing from its body, whether its own or not, all converged along some path.

Ultimately, the flesh and blood on the ground outlined the shape of a book. Even though it was just laid out on the ground, Mu Xiang knew that it was a three-dimensional book.

"My wife deceived me, my husband reformed me, and my lover supported me."

A cheerful, yet mournful song suddenly rang out, causing Mu Xiang to adjust his glasses.

“Your bourgeois family relationships seem to be somewhat lacking in deconstruction…” he muttered to himself.

This Mr. Pickman appears to have originally been a painter; the distorted paintings in the hotel are his work. As his bloodline awakens, Mr. Pickman becomes increasingly inhuman. Mrs. Pickman's betrayal completely twists him, transforming him into his current form.

Pickman, the painter in the Cthulhu Mythos, already possessed considerable knowledge of the occult... but compared to this one, he seems to still have much to learn. Mr. Pickman transformed his wife into a work of art filled with tentacles, binding his lover and subjecting him to endless, agonizing dismemberment.

These two people, along with all the other guests, were actually food for Pickman.

As it perceived this information, the book made of flesh and blood finally manifested...

The book title was written in a language Mu Xiang had never seen before, but he knew what it was at a glance... Just as Mu Xiang expected, he silently took the dark red book.

This is the information Pickman recorded in a long, chaotic slumber using countless pieces of decaying flesh and blood.

The Necronomicon!
The book no longer smelled bad, but Mu Xiang was still reluctant to flip through it.

Luckily, I don't have the habit of turning pages with my saliva...

He opened it and glanced at it, immediately realizing that this book wasn't the *Necronomicon* he had assumed... There were no incantations; it was actually Pickman's record of dreamscapes. Furthermore, at the end, there were some pages that the Supreme God hinted were Sat Kane's manuscripts.

The worldview of this plane seemed to only truly unfold in Mu Xiang's eyes at this moment. Whether it was the invasion of the Great Old Ones or the existence of the Dream Realm, it all indicated that there were some problems with this world itself...

Through this "Necronomicon," transcribed from ghoul flesh and blood, Mu Xiang could travel to the Dream Realm. However, he wasn't considering it now; returning later was fine. As a plot device, this book could certainly be taken with him.

To be honest, if it really were a book containing various Cthulhu spells, Mu Xiang might not have given it to Qi Tengyi... After all, the Cthulhu Mythos in the infinite multiverse has its limits, and it might not be worth it for Qi Tengyi to risk mental problems doing this.

Sutter Kane's manuscripts, on the other hand, serve to amplify the extent to which he has been corrupted. This is precisely what Mu Xiang needs most right now.

In the first half of *The Hole*, Linda doesn't actually reveal all of her own information. In fact, she had already read parts of the *Hole* manuscript, just like Sutter Kane's agent. Therefore, she was deeply corrupted, which is essential for the film's plot to progress.

Mu Xiang hadn't seen the manuscript of *The Trembling Black Hole*, and given his own resistance, the degree to which he was corrupted was far less than that of the film's male and female protagonists. The fundamental reason he was the most deeply corrupted was that he had killed both Trent and Linda…

Therefore, the reason he hadn't dared to act rashly before, and hadn't directly overturned the table, was because he was afraid of failing to trigger Satt Kane's storyline. If time dragged on, there was no guarantee what would happen outside. Now, a perfect opportunity has presented itself, isn't that a good thing?
But before that, there is one last thing that needs to be addressed.

"Zhan Lan, have you found them?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Xiang flew straight in that direction and landed in front of Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and Ba Wang in the blink of an eye.

"Where did you guys go before?" Mu Xiang smiled. "When I came back, you were all gone. It gave me quite a fright."

Zheng Zha scratched his head, about to say something, when Mu Xiang looked at his head and clicked his tongue twice.

This left all three of them somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's grown a blastocyst? Congratulations." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.

Zheng Zha was the first to be exposed... Earlier, Mu Xiang had casually scanned the surroundings with his X-ray vision and saw that Zheng Zha did not have a blood core in his brain. Although even the methods of those without magic could not observe the extraordinary energy existing in the body, Mu Xiang could see it clearly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's expression changed, and then a red flame appeared, which he slapped directly at Mu Xiang.

So, after all this time, Satt Kane has gradually figured out their abilities?

Mu Xiang didn't dodge at all, nor did he even assume a fighting stance. He shouted loudly and unleashed a burst of sword energy.

Zheng Zha's crimson flames were instantly engulfed by the sword energy, and as the sword energy swept past, his upper body also disappeared.

Immediately, a subtle pressure enveloped Mu Xiang, and he knew without a doubt that it was Zhang Jie's telekinetic power. Mu Xiang unleashed a burst of sword energy, instantly shattering the much weaker telekinetic power into dust.

The Overlord roared, his already imposing figure expanding even further. But before he could pounce, Zhang Jie's head was swung at him by Mu Xiang.

The blow he delivered created a sonic boom; if it had hit Bawang, it would have at least taken half his life, if not killed instantly. However, to Mu Xiang's slight surprise, Bawang swiftly adjusted his position to dodge the attack.

His eyes were blank.

[This is unreasonable... This Overlord is far stronger than the fake Zheng Zha.]

What could be the reason?

Mu Xiang raised his hand and unleashed two sword energies, forcing the Overlord to retreat to a certain position. With the support of the first-tier gene lock, this casual attack wasn't enough to directly defeat the fake Overlord.

Then, Mu Xiang's punch, delivered after the opponent's movement, struck first, piercing through the retreating Overlord. Sword energy erupted in Mu Xiang's hand, shattering the werewolf's body into dust.

[Let me guess... is it that Zheng Zha didn't show his true strength in the real world, while Ba Wang, for some reason, has already shown it?]

Thinking of this, a sudden surge of heat rose from behind Mu Xiang, instantly reaching a thousand degrees Celsius. Although it was far less intense than the real Zheng Zha, it still made Mu Xiang turn around and look.

Then, a sniper rifle shot rang out. The sound of the gunshot made Mu Xiang suddenly smile.

The next moment, a sniper bullet struck Mu Xiang in the temple.

Chapter Two is presented here.
