Chapter 009: Visions

Eugene was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter.

Eugene clicked his tongue, put down the steak he was eating, feeling somewhat nauseated

Colin is unaware of the situation

Colin guessed that Eugene would not believe his words, and even he himself did not fully believe it; whether it was truly a matter of time reversal or something else entirely.

... ...

Colin also raised a finger, drawing power from another dimension to issue a command. The flesh on his index finger rapidly fell away, leaving only the horrifying veins clinging to the sharp bone, resembling a bloodletting knife

How do you intend to handle this person

Do not understand

You are truly a saint who abstains from tobacco and alcohol

Suddenly, without any warning

Uncle, what kind of hint does your vision suggest?

Uncle, if you don't want to talk, that's fine. We have only known each other for less than half a day, so it is understandable

The testicular cancer support group may need an object of devotion

I believe it is a drug addict with an outwardly turned sausage lip, wearing a wide-lipped ring, sporting oversized earrings, a tongue piercing, and a thick gold chain. This individual has a severe history of alcoholism, smoking, and family medical history, chews betel nut, has dreadlocks, and has been injecting mineral oil for years to increase arm circumference. They are covered in tattoos, born in sub-Saharan Africa, orphaned at a young age, adopted by a single Asian mother, and have suffered from bullying in school. They smuggled themselves to the east of the Mediterranean, retaining refugee status, and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder due to war, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, severe depression, obesity, and a history of multiple gender transitions. Currently residing in a slum, they receive government relief funds and identify as a pioneer of anti-racism and international women's rights movements. They have one-eighth Native American ancestry, practice Catholicism, and possess multiple embedded prosthetics and external prosthetic limbs. Their appearance includes burn scars, freckles, high cheekbones, squinty eyes, and they are a cross-dresser, a homosexual black male who is passionate about veganism, animal rights, and environmentalism, working in the sex industry.

Eugene was behaving like a little girl, even though her attire and demeanor were completely at odds with that of a young girl

Having said that, Ashu walked out of the church without looking back

After Di Mo finished speaking all of this without a pause, it felt as if his lungs had been drained, and he was gasping for breath, exhausted to the point of breaking a sweat

Di Mo spoke in a long, uninterrupted stream, his lips parched and his whole body somewhat slumped. He could barely stand, propped up against the altar, gasping for breath.

The consultant responsible for church real estate transactions had transparent tape over their mouth, their hands bound behind their back with rope, kneeling on the ground, their face filled with terror, eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at Di Mo, emitting muffled sobs.

He remembers that the big guy also mentioned this word that night

She does not believe that the infected would possess such perverse abilities, manipulating time... It can be said to be a divine means.

This is something that no one can clearly articulate. Unlike mental drive, it is an enigmatic entity, a matter of will or essence, something that even the researchers at the countermeasures bureau cannot fathom. During the research process, they may even go insane. As long as it is usable, why bother with so many details

At this point, Eugene raised a finger. With a thought, her index finger transformed into numerous irregularly shaped black squares, which floated in the air without any support. They then bizarrely combined together, reverting to a normal finger

You said it, so I will say it too. We are partners, and we must face life and death together, alright? Go ahead, I won't have any ulterior motives.

Eugene's jaw nearly dropped to the ground; considering that the other infected groups in Section 11 are quite formidable, why is it that when it comes to his own group, the standards seem to have diminished

Do whatever you want, just don't forget our objective. I will rapidly expand and absorb the surrounding infected forces, while you need to enhance SCT's influence throughout North America through public events

However, it does not matter; the intensity of the anomaly is related to the depth of your descent. The closer it is connected to the real world and to the truth, the more powerful the anomaly will become. At the deepest point... it might even become something akin to a deity. What is your special ability?

Di Mo looked at the newspaper and suddenly said this

You will pay the bill later

Let us return to the previous issue; the testicular cancer support group requires a designated object of veneration

Colin decided to ask everything at once

Sir, the total is 1250 yuan

Tarot cards ... ... I was surprised, I have never studied that thing before

Eugene began to wonder what abilities this typical disheartened middle-aged man, Colin, possessed

It may be a good proposal; a powerful organization must have a core program and a charismatic leader. Elevating the charismatic leader to a divine status can further enhance the cohesion among its members. However, the first step is to change the name of the testicular cancer support group.

And the consultant has already fainted.

Is that so? You are a complete novice, and it seems you don't understand anything at all

My suggestion is that of a magician, these psychological hints can be categorized using tarot cards, creativity, communication, this is the vision produced by my suggestion

Colin extinguished the cigarette butt and downed the beer in his cup in one go, not wanting to engage with the sarcastic Eugene, who had a particular fondness for irony

Yaxiu adjusted his glasses, extremely dissatisfied with Dimo, the oddball he worked with.

"What was it that she said? Grey should have mentioned to you before letting you in that patients with Abyss Syndrome may fall into an indescribable reality, and most of them cannot withstand the mental shock and die"

"I detest people like you," Di Mo said while affectionately stroking the head of the sales consultant. "When the world faces overcapacity, in order to retain the necessary workforce, special measures must be taken to ensure they continue to work. Thus, individuals like you are born, serving as the henchmen of the upper class, accelerating the plunder of workers' wealth without creating any actual value. You have expedited the corruption of this world"

Ahsu quickly stepped out, not wanting to stay with Di Mo for even a second longer

Eugene still harbored a final glimmer of hope, wishing that Colin's abilities could be a bit stronger

He had already wet his pants in fear, and began to cry loudly, but with his mouth taped shut, he could only emit indistinct sobs

Barbecue restaurant in a large shopping center in Montgomery County, Los Angeles

Yaxiu released his fist and kicked the metal church door, which weighed around four to five hundred pounds, directly outwards, raising a large cloud of dust

"It is truly disappointing. Although we are colleagues at the same level, I am the overall responsible person here, and you should show me some respect," Di Mo said somewhat displeased. He continued, "Right now, my feelings are akin to stubbing my little toe against a piece of furniture while simultaneously being unable to sneeze, with the hangnail on the back of my finger throbbing faintly, and half a Sichuan pepper stuck to the back of my tongue. At the same time, I am experiencing acid reflux, and a fly is buzzing around my ear. In this state of indescribable ultimate despair, I also hear that the market value of the house I just bought has plummeted, and the funds and stocks I purchased are all at a standstill. Moreover, tomorrow marks the end of my vacation and the return to work, and at this very moment, my phone rings with the most annoying call from a nightclub regular who is demanding gifts, my foot massage therapist, and my ex-girlfriend from Disney who is now a bit down on her luck."

Colin pulled out his withered wallet, not expecting the expenses to be so high here. If it weren't for the thought of having a monthly salary of 50,000, he would never have agreed to pay the bill, with credit card debts and loans still waiting for him to repay

Operate!

What are your abilities

The think tank figures are extremely dissatisfied with Di Mo's arbitrary actions; such a name lacks any deterrent effect. Even a name like "Demon God Legion," which is of a juvenile level, is a thousand times better than "Testicular Cancer Support Group"

I generally understand what the anomaly means, but how does one acquire such abilities

Eugene was somewhat disappointed, but it was also to be expected; the relatively rare "Justice" or "Death" is not so easily encountered

Different hints lead to different manifestations

Operate

Di Mo lifted the consultant by the head, raising him up, roaring madly and even tearing his vocal cords, causing blood to splatter onto the consultant's face

I will kill you! I want to kill you!

"My ability is ... ..." Colin pondered for a moment, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke. While exhaling the smoke, he said: "I can manipulate time."

I have heard that you are quite impressive, being able to become a source of infection and contaminate others. I am very curious about what your implication is.

Eugene couldn't help but exclaim that it is rare to see someone smoke so fiercely; a normal person would have already been nicotine poisoned. His lungs could hardly be described as black; they are essentially a tar factory

The stained glass depiction of the Virgin Mary has a cracked face, with the features appearing somewhat distorted due to the dissolution. Murky light filters in, illuminating the dilapidated pews used for the mass prayers, while the ground is littered with discarded syringes from drug addicts

"Haha, I was just pretending." Di Mo suddenly became amiable, his face full of warmth, as if nothing had happened just moments ago. He unfolded the newspaper and continued to read the news, saying, "I am a civilized person and do not advocate violence."

"You are mistaken, Ash." Di Mo closed the newspaper and said, "This is a just cause; its definition is a public welfare organization that is dedicated to helping people around the world."

Di Mo became utterly insane, his face contorted, his eyes bloodshot and bulging, filled with a fierce rage, and his snake-like pupils seemed capable of draining the very will to survive from others

Sometimes there are special circumstances where certain individuals may not necessarily possess strong mental drive; rather, they survive due to some extraordinary talent, which is collectively referred to as suggestion

Los Angeles metropolitan area, Shuske slum, abandoned church

Eugene hopes that Colin will not be too useless. Although he is currently just slacking off and waiting for death every day, when the time comes for real action, without a strong partner, he will meet a swift demise

Yaxiu let out a long breath and shot the real estate consultant in the head, dying in unconsciousness may also be a form of liberation

The attendant slightly bent down and said with utmost politeness

Those who can survive and gain special abilities generally possess a strong mental drive in certain aspects, which is referred to as psychological suggestion

Di Mo sat cross-legged on the altar, reading a newspaper, but he generally only read the jokes in the corner.

Colin was not very willing to speak; he believed that such matters were better kept confidential, and he did not trust this punk girl

The strategist who came from SCT with Di Mo pushed up his glasses, wondering what kind of madness Di Mo was up to again

As expected of a disheartened uncle, does the suggestion imply a demon? It seems that your mental drive stems from the dark side within, making you a captive of malice, bondage, submission, and desire, quite common indeed. I have heard that among those individuals in SCT, many also have suggestions that are demons.

Eugene stared at Colin with great curiosity, hoping to latch onto a powerful ally and survive the battle against SCT

Laozi ... ... I'm just a few years older than you, alright? Anomalies? What is that thing?

The source of strength for each individual is different; some are driven by the desire to change their fate, some by the pursuit of power, and others by their beliefs

Yaxiu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh and causing blood to ooze out. He took a deep breath
