My name is Li Mo. I returned to the Eigenworld before the strangeness spread, and chose to conceal everything that happened afterwards. Mei arranged for me to take on the next mission, but I refused, clearly telling her that I wanted to stay in the Eigenworld.
[She seemed to notice something, but didn't show it and went back to her room.]
Using my ghost vision, I saw her writing in a diary or notes in her room. Strangely, I couldn't see what she wrote, but I was sure she was using an ordinary pen and writing ordinary things on ordinary paper.
[I suspect there's some strange pattern in what's written, a taboo I can't observe.]
The next day, everything went as normal, with no unusual phenomena. I continued to wish for a minute of ghostly vision, and found no heresy in this solar system of time and space. Raiden Mei was blinded for a day because of this.
On the third day, an unidentified black fog suddenly filled the air. Fortunately, no ghosts were seen walking around. I always felt that this black fog was very familiar.
(16) Strange Stigmata: The Closed Loop of Fate
On the fourth day, I discovered the truth... Mei had summoned this black fog through unknown means. There was a strange source within the fog, and she was trying to perpetuate it, spreading it to every corner of every dimension...
"What?"
Li Mo tightly grasped the third-to-last page of the notebook and looked at the contents in disbelief.
Let the weirdness continue forever...
absurd!
Li Mo bit his lip and dark red blood flowed out from the gap.
Li Mo stared straight at the notebook, without any follow-up, as if this was the final ending.
why?
Li Mo was puzzled. Hadn't they been risking their lives just to completely eliminate the weirdness?
Let the weirdness continue forever and spread to every world...
Why would you do this? How many people will be killed?!
Li Mo couldn't accept it.
He had witnessed a world torn apart by a strange force, a world once prosperous, reduced to desolation, atop ruins. The sky was shrouded in a faint, indescribable haze, as if even the light had been distorted by a strange aura, casting dappled, eerie shadows. The wind that occasionally brushed against the window lattice was mingled with hoarse whispers and wails.
Betrayal and murder among family members stem from a single, inexplicable suspicion; lies and deceptions between friends vie for mere survival resources. The brilliance of humanity dims beneath a strange haze, and too many people abandon everything for a fleeting moment of peace.
No more **, no more morality.
People watched their fellow humans flee like rats, only to be targeted by ghosts and die miserably. They were the next to be killed... in despair, they shot themselves.
People hiding in supermarkets turned around and found their heads on the shelves;
The person holding the flowers looked down and saw a human face growing out of the flowers;
The ghostly figure in the black fog was getting closer;
The faceless man under the streetlight, the disoriented self in the mirror, the ever-crying ghost baby in the belly...
That is tragic, a true failure of humanity.
It is an endless purgatory that no one wants to face.
"Mei...!" Li Mo clenched his fists, his mixed feelings gradually replaced by anger.
No matter what kind of persecution you suffer, it is never a reason to persecute innocent people.
The notebook doesn't lie, so what you just saw is true.
"No wonder they kept it a secret from me. I couldn't let the strangeness spread. That's why they rushed me to the next mission..."
"I risked my life, abandoned everything to deal with the strangeness, and handed over all my gains. Is this... how you repay me?"
Li Mo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
He knew that the notebook might be trying to sow discord, and he also knew that he might have fallen into a trap carefully set by the notebook.
No matter what the circumstances, such inhumane things should never be done.
He couldn't accept it.
You don’t have to protect, but at least don’t hurt.
"calm down……"
Li Mo took deep breaths, trying his best to calm his mind.
But his clenched fists could not relax.
"I'm going to find Mei and ask her about this."
You can go back to the time and space you once existed in the past, and when faced with a death threat, you can directly go back to a safe event point without having to worry about death.
On the initiative:
An incomplete and strange pistol that can suppress some strangeness at no cost; a demon sword, Akazume Sakura, that can kill anyone who touches a certain strangeness.
When faced with strangeness, he no longer needs to carefully explore the patterns, which can save a lot of time and effort.
Passives include:
A thermometer that can detect strange auras;
Detect if there are any strange and unobservable amulets nearby;
The ghost of doom who protects consciousness;
These two can help him make up for his own shortcomings.
And the final trump card:
"Make a wish", "Go back", "Restart".
Any of the trump cards can be used alone to reverse the situation, not to mention that "backtracking" is an instinct that requires almost no cost.
Restarting will only work if you don't have the chance to "go back", but with the demon sword Akazome Sakura, it is almost impossible for you to not have time to "go back".
Now, Li Mo has the confidence to face any monsters except Guiqi and Irene.
Guiqi was unable to fight back because the moment they met, they would be locked in time and space, and even death was not allowed.
Irene was unable to fight back because she was suspected of ignoring the restrictions of the strange rules. She was also the origin of the strange pistol, which meant that she could easily suppress the strange rules.
A million years, recognized by another notebook, is the most complete and weird thing he has ever seen, and it is not comparable to the demon sword Akazen Sakura at all.
Apart from these two, Li Mo can handle other strange things with ease and confidence.
While thinking, Li Mo went back to the past with his own identity, but found that he had failed.
He still stayed in this time and space in the form of Otto.
"What's going on? The rules of a pseudo-human should allow them to easily return to the past. Did I overlook something?"
Li Mo took out his notebook and asked, "Why didn't I go back? You don't lie, so what I said before should be fine. I can go back through the instincts of a pseudo-human. Why didn't it work? Could it be that you were lying to me, and the rules on the third to last page gave you the rules of fraud?"
The notebook quickly replied: [My name is Li Mo. When you read this, I am dying and about to be reborn.]
[I tried to use the pseudo-human's strange ability to return to the original world, but I failed.]
I continue to live in this world as Otto Apokalis.
After the Domination Theater ended, Saint Freya and her group began to celebrate their victory. I peeled off the strange stigmata on my back and placed them in a syringe, then went to my front.
I said to my lonely and helpless self, "So, like me... Li Mo, for the one you love, die voluntarily. And die voluntarily."
After receiving the Type II Stigmata syringe, I returned to the Skyward Headquarters and continued to imitate Otto in Kolosten, attracting everyone's attention and creating an opportunity for myself to have the time and ability to reach the Cocoon of the End.
As expected, my other self was injected with a two-star stigmata, and strange seeds began to sprout. This innocent thought ignited a spark that could overturn my destiny.
[The cocoon of the end was contaminated, and the other me died.]
Kiana went to the cocoon of the end and discovered the truth. I took the opportunity to go to the rental house and returned to the original world before Kiana returned with her head.
Li Mo looked at the contents on the first page of the notebook and fell into deep thought.
"So, before I die in this time and space, I can't return to the original world with my own identity. Pseudo-humans actually have this limitation..."
"But I have a question, why can't I just kill him."
Li Mo said this calmly, as if killing himself was a very common thing.
[My name is Li Mo, and I killed myself.]
[My name is Otto Apokalis, a pseudo-man. I tried to return to my original form, but my original form is dead. I will live forever as Otto Apokalis.]
"Original body, are you saying that he is actually Li Mo, and I am the fake one? Or perhaps, we are both real, just like Zhizunbao and Sun Wukong, the same person, but not the same person. There is a huge amount of time between us."
"It doesn't matter. No matter which situation it is, it only takes a little time to waste."
Li Mo brought all the strange things on his body to that specific time point, the time when he felt extremely lonely because he was weak and could not catch up with Kiana.
"You only have one chance to choose, and once you make your choice, there is no turning back."
Li Mo placed the syringe on the table. This was a prop he specially prepared for himself. It was unique and even the related information about the Type II Stigma Project was leaked, even though it was all fake.
The purpose is to achieve rationality, and he will never allow the plan to go wrong.
To be on the safe side, Li Mo had to watch himself being injected with the strange holy mark before he could feel at ease.
As for whether he went to the Cocoon of the End, Li Mo did not see it with his own eyes. He attracted everyone's attention in Klosten.
But he knew himself well, and he would make the same choice no matter how many times he came across it.
"Last time" he was an eyewitness, "this time" he is a witness.
After the matter was accomplished, Li Mo did not go to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but returned to the simple rental house. He sat on the sofa and looked out the window at the sky outside, where a huge hole was torn in it and blood-red raindrops slowly flowed out from the gap.
A girl with a deathly pale face, holding a rotten head, walked towards here like a zombie.
Li Mo pondered for a moment and turned around.
"It's time to leave."
Li Mo closed his eyes, his golden hair returned to normal, and Otto Apokalis's appearance quickly returned to his own.
He left this world before Kiana returned to the house.
If Kiana had entered earlier, she would have been able to see the whole, living Li Mo...
The sadness of the death of a loved one will disappear in an instant, and the tragedy will not happen again.
But there is no if, everything is destined, including missing out.
Kiana was trapped in the hut holding Li Mo's head, until... "next time" came.
His thoughts returned to the night before he set out for the pseudo-human world.
Mei glanced at the strange pistol on his waist and said casually, "Next time I meet Irene, ask her to complete the completeness of this gun. It's far from complete now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mo suddenly pushed Mei against the wall and pinched her wrists tightly with both hands.
He used too much force and his fingers got embedded in the wall, but Li Mo didn't care.
His pupils dilated as he stared at Mei, his lips moving but he didn't speak for a long time.
"Li Mo, what are you doing? "Mei said calmly.
How to start?
How to start?
Obviously... he had always believed everything Mei said, revealing his back, his faith, and even his life.
But all she got in return was a sentence in the notebook: [She is trying to make the weirdness continue forever, spreading to every corner of every time and space...]
"Li Mo? What's wrong with you?" Shi Yu Qiluo walked over and asked with concern. Li Mo's sudden change made her feel very uncomfortable.
Obviously, when Li Mo was at home, he always acted like a docile kitten when facing Mei, but now he acted as if he had met his enemy.
The first person to break the silence was not Li Mo, but Mei.
"You're hurting me, let go."
Mei spoke calmly, her eyes downcast, not meeting Li Mo's gaze.
This time Li Mo did not listen and still pressed Mei against the wall, trying hard to control his emotions.
"Mei, I want to know the truth you said right now."
"Didn't we agree that I would tell you after you returned from your two missions?"
Mei was a little confused, but the mystery was soon solved. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the anger in Li Mo's eyes that he was trying hard to suppress.
