Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 416 ends... and deception.

“Yes…” Mu Xiang nodded. “He is stronger than I thought. Even his Blazing Heart has reached the mid-level of the fourth rank. And according to him, this Blazing Heart can really allow him to unleash its most ideal power.”

"What do you mean?" Zheng Zha asked, puzzled.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "The self-healing ability of the mind, and the controllable energy clash... If he compresses the vampire energy to the extreme, beyond the limits you can perceive, this energy clash will be extremely terrifying."

As soon as he finished speaking, the telekinetic confinement on the other side shattered completely, and the almost black and white energy pillars spread out again.

Seeing the change in everyone's expression, Mu Xiang didn't say anything more. He exchanged a glance with Zhang Jie, and then used telekinesis to envelop everyone together. With a pull, Mu Xiang sent the huge mass of telekinesis soaring into the sky and flying towards the Black Gate Bridge.

"Let's see how many points we have so far," Mu Xiang said to the crowd without turning his head.

“Nine points…” Zhang Jie glanced at his watch, which puzzled the others. Zhang Jie’s physical body was gone, but he still had the God’s watch on his wrist.

Liu Xi pondered for a moment: "This number... doesn't match?"

"Huh... the Demon Team has twelve members, and we lost two teammates, so it should be ten," Zhan Lan said, puzzled.

Although he was currently existing in the form of a soul, Zhang Jie still subconsciously scratched his head: "Is there someone's death that wasn't attributed to us...?"

Liu Xi shook her head: "No, even that cultivator was counted in our score... Is it because their other mental power controller didn't die?"

Zhan Lan paused for a moment: "That's right... Although the second mental controller of the Demon Team used that kind of mental pollution, we didn't hear any prompts from her, and we can't be sure if she's dead or not."

“This is something that needs to be checked,” Mu Xiang said, his voice clearly ringing in everyone’s ears even outside the telekinetic barrier. “However, she obviously can’t complete the mission unless she also obtains a Rebirth Cross… but it doesn’t seem necessary.”

As he spoke, Mu Xiang looked down at the ground. This was precisely the area where Amya had unleashed her mental pollution. With Zhang Jie's mental power providing a barrier, the members of the Central Continent Team weren't afraid of being injured. Mu Xiang wasn't afraid either; he simply looked and located Amya's location.

“Neither of you killed any of the other team members…who’s next?” Mu Xiang looked at Long Taobing and Liu Xi.

Long Taobing was somewhat dejected. He shook his head and forced a smile, saying, "I'm not a combatant, so I don't need this one person's reward."

Mu Xiang looked at Long Taobing for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

Liu Xi said calmly, "So you want me to do it?"

"Otherwise what?" Mu Xiang shrugged. "Do you need me to take you downstairs?"

Liu Xi shook her head: "It's not that complicated..."

The next moment, the room where Amya was located twisted into a giant sphere and then squeezed towards the center. Still unconscious and exhausted, Amya had no chance to resist and was instantly crushed into pieces.

Upon hearing the God's instruction, Mu Xiang nodded and continued rushing towards the Black Gate Bridge with the telekinetic light sphere.

Perhaps it was the fear of the power of the Central Continent Team and the Demon Team, which was beyond the comprehension of humankind in this era, that made the Umbrella Corporation ultimately refrain from launching any more nuclear missiles here... Or perhaps, after they realized that a series of related personnel had been interfered with by unknown forces, they were simply too afraid to act, fearing that these two groups of people whose backgrounds were unknown would come after them.

The presence of two formidable forces was enough to instill fear in this enormous company, and the uncertainty of which one they had offended made them even more hesitant to act rashly. Furthermore, they were unaware that the Central Continent Team would soon be leaving this world, rendering their supposedly most reliable long-term surveillance utterly useless.

Once outside the Black Gate Bridge, Zhan Lan reached out to release the characters from control. But just as she was about to act, she suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jie asked, puzzled.

As he asked this, Zhang Jie immediately scanned the area himself, genuinely worried that something unexpected might be amiss... What if the clone Chu Xuan had done something wrong again? "Where's Jill?"

Zhan Lan asked a question that surprised everyone.

Even Mu Xiang's expression changed. Using Zhan Lan's shape-altering spirit puppet to impersonate Jill and be kidnapped was indeed an idea he'd had for a while… or rather, he'd thought of using the spirit puppet to play a character from the storyline and then be kidnapped by the demon team even before this team battle. The problem was, it was Zheng Zha who actually gave the order to do so during this team battle.

Seeing everyone's gazes directed at him, Zheng Zha said with a wry smile, "Don't look at me, Zhang Jie has already erased my memories of playing Mu Xiang."

Liu Xi let out a long sigh: "Your request at the time was... to replace an important character and then hide that character from the story. Who was responsible for carrying out this task?"

Mu Xiang frowned, carefully recalling the setup he had observed while playing Zheng Zha: "Zhang Heng? Didn't he go to the police station..."

At this point, the confusion on everyone's faces deepened.

Mu Xiang's heart skipped a beat. The others seemed oblivious... Leon, whom Zhang Heng had specially picked up from the police station, had vanished. Mu Xiang knew this was an opportunity they had obtained through a higher perspective and the overlap of dimensions, and that Leon, who embodied this higher perspective, had returned to the parallel world he should belong to.

A game world reminiscent of Resident Evil 2... and the player in that game is Mu Xiang himself.

Could it be that Long Taobing fell into a coma because he directly witnessed this? The others simply don't remember anything.

“If it’s Zhang Heng in his masked state, he can indeed do it… So where did he hide Jill?” Liu Xi frowned.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Heng, who was being carried by the Overlord who had regained his human form, suddenly twitched in his sleep, and a piece of gavel fell from his arms. It was the same piece that had knocked Zhao Zhuikong unconscious.

And this gavel, amidst the strange expressions on everyone's faces, transformed into the unconscious Jill.

"Holy shit!"

The members of the Zhongzhou team all unanimously burst into curses. As soon as they finished cursing in unison, they looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces filled with surprise and fear, wondering, "Why did I curse like that?" and "Why did you curse like that?"

Zhang Jie spat and turned to look at Mu Xiang: "Can this really work?"

"Uh...it seems okay?" Mu Xiang said somewhat uncertainly.

"No problem my foot!"

After waking Alice and the others, the Central Continent Team headed towards the Black Gate Bridge before they had fully regained consciousness. Since the mission was complete, there was no need to waste any more words…

Every team member who stepped onto the bridge vanished instantly. Mu Xiang, standing at the back, smiled at the characters in the story, who were filled with shock and confusion: "You've obtained the information on the Umbrella Corporation. Just release it like this... Take care."

Before they could ask anything more, Mu Xiang stepped onto the bridge and then fell into a half-dreaming state.

Meanwhile, beneath the still-fiercely erupting ground-based magic cannons, an aura that had vanished within the Nine-Bend Blood River Formation re-emerged. If Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha were still alive, they would have recognized this as the Blazing Heart, which they had confirmed had dissipated into positive energy!
Despite the impact of the ground-based magic cannon, the Heart of Blazing Light showed no signs of destruction. Instead, it slowly writhed, seemingly nurturing something...

After an unknown amount of time, when the base's magic cannons finally went out, leaving only ruins stretching across the north, a naked man crawled out from underground. He looked somewhat dazed, reached out and tore open his own chest, pulled out a tattered contract from his blazing heart, and then laughed bitterly.

"So the negative point resistance item you got from Gabriel... you hid it here."

"You lied to me... Chu Xuan."
