These weird things are all mine

This is a necessary sacrifice.

So Frick didn't want to kill Luo Ling at first, because Luo Ling's appearance was not in the organization's plan, she was not a necessary sacrifice, and there was no need to add to the sin of killing.

However, the Weird Apostle is different.

If she is indeed the strange apostle...

Frick raised his knight's sword.

For the sake of humanity, all strange apostles must be killed.

The strange apostles and pioneers all appeared to destroy the future of mankind.

"No, I'm not a weird apostle." Luo Ling shook his head and said softly, "I am weird, I... am the "White Witch" of "Death". "

She finally faced up to her strange identity and realized that she was not human.

No matter when, she was already a complete weirdo.

But...sometimes, humans are scarier than weird.

Luo Ling can no longer tell whether it was humans or the weird that caused the disaster...

Frick was silent for a while, and then he also noticed something was wrong.

The silver-white girl was alone in the range of "Purgatory", but she was not affected by it at all.

Even a team as strong as the "Hunter" team cannot do this.

Including Frick himself, he knew very well that without armor, he would be in the same situation as the "Hunter" team.

No, it's more than that...

"Purgatory" seemed to be avoiding her.

Could it be that she is really weird?

Frick thought of the most widely circulated saying that when encountering a monster that is extremely similar to humans, you must escape at all costs, even if it means abandoning your teammates.

...But, is it worth it for him to go to such lengths just for this little girl?

This thought lasted only a moment, and Frick took up his sword and stepped forward, his eyes sharp.

"Miss Bai, no matter if you are really weird or not, from the moment you say this, I will not let you walk out of here alive."

Frick's sword was very fast. He was originally an awakener of the "Judgment" path. Although he had not demonstrated any abilities in previous battles, as a veteran knight, his combat skills were obviously better than Luo Ling's.

But unfortunately...

"The Kingdom of Power."

Luo Ling uttered a few words softly.

Before he finished speaking, this "Purgatory" phenomenon fled away from this area, fearing that it would be swallowed up and become a part of the "kingdom".

If this is the real "Purgatory", it can definitely compete with Luo Ling's "Kingdom".

Unfortunately, this is just a degraded version of "Purgatory" created by the company using the remains of "Purgatory", and its only mission is to cause "boundary collapse".

In terms of rank, it is far below the real "high-risk weirdness". When faced with power, it will only instinctively choose to escape.

The "kingdom" unfolded silently, even Frick's figure was shrouded in it. As a veteran warrior, Frick immediately noticed the changes around him.

"This is..."

What did she just say?

power?

Can she use the power?

No, that's not right...She has the power?

Frick's expression finally showed some horror, and at the same time, he found that there were some indescribable things on his armor.

"Is this... fungus?"

Not only that, there was also a lot of rotten flesh and blood growing on the armor, slowly eroding it.

This set of armor is indeed a top-level sacrificial weapon, at least it is made of "high-risk and weird" holy remains. Even Luo Ling cannot penetrate the armor and directly control Frick.

However, this is within the realm of "Kingdom", and everything is under the control of Luo Ling, including "Purgatory".

"Even so, it's still not enough."

Frick quickly calmed down. Even if it was power, what could it be? His armor had temporarily isolated the influence of power.

Just kill the opponent before the armor is completely lost.

The opponent's ability is obviously not the type that is good at head-on combat. As long as you can get close to her, you will have a chance.

Frick's judgment was correct, Luo Ling was indeed not good at head-on combat.

...but some people are good at it.

Just as Frick was holding up his armor and approaching Luo Ling with the "Country", an unexpected gunshot rang out, and then his armor was damaged.

"this..."

Frick's face was full of disbelief. He turned around slowly and saw a figure that could never have appeared.

"This is..."

Lina, the leader of the "Hunting" team.

She was standing not far away, holding her sacrificial musket and aiming at Frick.

"How can this be?"

Frick exclaimed.

Shouldn't Lina be dead?

Even if he wasn't dead, he should be dying. How could he still have the energy to use his abilities?

How can it be...

Break his armor?

At this moment, Frick saw that Lina's body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of white substance. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was very similar to the fungus on his armor.

At the same time, the fungi penetrated directly into Frick's body through the damaged armor.

It was not until this moment that Frick knew what Luo Ling's abilities were.

Half of his hand was completely frozen, and the infection was still spreading rapidly in the frozen part. Even if he decisively cut off the limb infected by the fungus at this moment, he would not be able to get rid of it.

"Your ability is to use these fungi to control...other people's bodies?"

Frick noticed that his body was stiffening uncontrollably, even making movements beyond his imagination. He was experiencing Luo Ling's abilities firsthand.

At the same time, he understood why Lina was able to stand up again and why she was able to use her abilities again.

"You actually used your strange ability to control Lina's body..."

"The 'White Witch' of 'Death'? No, in the known weird sequence, there is no weird named 'White Witch'. Even the hatchery has never appeared. How could it reach this level..."

Frick went over the idea again and again in his mind, but could not find even a little information about the "White Witch". Such a powerful and strange awakening could never be silent, and it was even more impossible to escape the record of the "Forbidden Slate".

He stared at Luo Ling intently, and until this moment he was convinced that this little sister who looked very human was indeed weird.

So, is this what “human-like weirdness” really means?

Not just in terms of looks, but also in terms of...behavior.

"It will be available soon." Luo Ling said calmly, "Also... you said the wrong word, "The Hanged Man"."

She said calmly, "I did not control Linna's body."

"In the end, you lose, Flick."

A cold voice sounded, coming from Lina, whom Frick thought had become a corpse.

She slowly raised her head. Her once heroic face was now covered with white fungal strains, but her clear eyes remained the same as before.

Lina's final request...

Luo Ling did not agree.

She did not exert "total domination" on Lina.

Even though Lina is slowly dying, even though Lina's consciousness is gradually fading, even though "Puppet Rumor" is powerless to do anything about it.

Because she wanted Lina to live.

Chapter 5 Traitor (k)

"Please completely dominate me, Miss Bai."

Lina looked at Luo Ling calmly and said softly,

"My body... should be of great use."

She slowly turned her head and looked at the empty ground. Her teammates used to be lying there, but now they have become part of "Purgatory" and part of the company's "Boundary Collapse" plan.

In this conspiracy called "saving humanity", the "Hunting" team is the chosen victim.

Until this moment...it seems meaningless to say anything more.

But there is one thing.

Even though we know that Frick is only carrying out a mission to be loyal to the organization, we know that there must be a corresponding reason why the "Company" has arranged it in this way, and this reason is most likely to save humanity.

only...

Lina didn't want to be chosen as a victim in such an unclear way, and she didn't want her teammates to become a string of cold death reports in the files, not knowing the truth until the moment of death.

She wants to kill Flick.

"Use my body as you like, Miss Bai. I know you can do it." Lina lowered her eyes and whispered, "This is not revenge, it's just... a struggle."

It is an unwilling struggle against this conspiracy.

Even if we cannot change the outcome and are powerless to resist this conspiracy, at least... we should bring down the executor of the conspiracy.

"No, Lina, I will not dominate your body."

Unexpectedly rejected, the silver-white figure was covered by a cloak, but her petite body was trembling slightly, and her small hands were tightly clasping her gradually cold palms.

Lina was slightly stunned, her tired expression relaxed a little, and she said softly,

"Really? Don't worry about my feelings, Miss Bai. It's just a corpse. I don't care about it."

“No, Lina.” The childish voice seemed to have changed a little. When the cloaked figure raised his head again, Lina saw a pair of beautiful eyes as clear and bright as amethyst. “This should not be done by me. This is your business.

"You should avenge yourself. Your struggle and resistance... should be carried out by yourself."

In a trance, Lina seemed to see several pairs of huge and hideous spider legs slowly spreading out from the cloaked figure, as if covering the sky and the sun.

Seeing this scene, Lina's pupils shrank slightly.

At this moment she had realized something. This was definitely not a power that humans could master.

"And I want you to live."

A gentle voice sounded, but with unquestionable majesty.

The fact that she was about to die was twisted in an extremely crazy way at this moment and was completely rewritten.

This is... the eighth in the weird sequence, ranked as "taboo", "Naraku" of "chaos", an ability that can never be mastered by humans.

[First ability: "Falling Web" - rewrite a reality within the spider web area]

【This is the assertion of "omniscience", which is reality and cannot be disobeyed.】

"Rewrite reality."

Rewrite the reality that Lina is about to die.

"cough..."

The amethyst-like beautiful woman couldn't help but cough lightly a few times, and her face was visibly weak, but she still maintained this terrifying rewrite.

At the same time, some strange changes occurred in the part of Lina that had been treated before, and these changes quickly spread to her whole body.

Countless elegant and ferocious fungal strains slowly bloomed, completely occupying Lina's body from the inside out. Even her consciousness was infected and became a part of the fungal strain.
