The Final Story of Miss Weird

The only benefit of holding the slate is the time difference of this information.

"Headquarters feels that things may still turn around." Old Lady Lu whispered, "Whether this new sequence weird 'White Witch' can take over the power of 'Puppet Rumor', or whether she will have new powers, are all unknown."

The reason for the previous retreat was because the company headquarters knew that Jiangcheng County had already become the territory of Puppet Yao, and was within the reach of His "power".

Except for "power", no other abilities can be used in the realm of Puppet Song.

Even most of the powers will be greatly suppressed in this unknown area, unless they can compete with Puppet Rumor in strength.

So... in this situation, if you go against a complete high-level weirdness, you will basically be defeated. No matter how many people you have, they are just cannon fodder and nutrients.

Before finding a way to crack the problem, they can only let this monster wreak havoc, abandon Jiangcheng County and the surrounding areas, and minimize the losses as much as possible... This is the limit of what the company can do.

And now, a new sequence has mysteriously appeared, directly replacing Puppet Rumor. Perhaps... the situation is not so hopeless.

"However, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we still have to wait and see what happens." Granny Lu whispered, "Use a small group of elite troops to impose martial law on the periphery first, and then flexibly choose the time to explore, but also be ready to retreat at any time."

This is the most common approach to dealing with unknown and bizarre disasters, and it is also the most helpless measure. It is a very bad strategy, completely leaving one's fate to the unknown and bizarre, waiting for a turnaround with little hope.

Li Shaoheng nodded and agreed with Granny Lu's command.

As expected of a senior who has experienced the disaster of "high-level weirdness", he can be so calm when dealing with similar situations.

However, the current situation...

Li Shaoheng raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. Surrounded by mountains and fields, the entire Jiangcheng County was still shrouded in gray colors, just like a black and white photo from the old times.

Even though the battle in this sequence has ended, His power and domain have not been lifted.

"So, as a new high-risk weird, "White Witch"...what will you do?"

......

When the "White Witch" ascended to the position of the weird sequence, Luo Ling clearly sensed the power called "Kingdom", which was transferred from Puppet Rumor to his own hands.

The blurry vision gradually became clear, and Luo Ling was finally able to see that countless invisible hyphae were spreading out, everywhere in this gloomy dead city.

The "country" shrouding Jiangcheng County has already seeped into every flower and tree since who knows when.

She looked up blankly, at the pedestrians laughing and cursing on the street, the shop assistants working hard in the ruins, and even the seemingly warm little family...

Everyone has been connected to the mycelium and has fallen under the control and domination of the "Kingdom".

But this is not the scariest thing.

On the road, a young couple was flirting with each other.

But what reached Luo Ling's ears was a strange sound.

"help me..."

"No, just kill me..."

Dad was carrying the shopping bags, mom was leaning on dad, and the son was running around in front holding a toy.

"Mom, Dad, this is so strange..."

"Run away! How could this happen..."

"Don't, don't go over there again..."

All these seemingly peaceful and warm scenes actually emit completely different sounds.

As the "country" gradually fell into Luo Ling's control, she heard more and more voices.

These voices of confusion, hesitation, pain and struggle are heard everywhere.

Luo Ling was slumped on the ground, and no passerby could notice her because she was the source among these countless hyphae.

The existence that controls the "kingdom".

only...

After completely taking over the "country", Luo Ling finally understood why her sister's consciousness was in so much pain and struggle, and why she was unwilling to let her become the next Puppet Rumor even if she had to be killed.

Because my sister knows her very well, very well.

Know...Luo Ling can't bear this fact.

Knowing that she was unwilling to accept this fact no matter what.

"Those who are still in Jiangcheng County...they have all..."

Luo Ling slowly raised her head, tears and blood seemed to flow between her eyes.

"They are already dead..."

It is even a state more terrifying than death.

These seemingly normal people have actually become slaves of the "kingdom".

Their flesh, blood, and souls have been completely controlled by the "kingdom", and only their consciousness remains in their minds. They look at their bodies with horror and clarity, and live as usual in this doomsday place that is like purgatory.

This is not because Puppet Rumor has a bad taste, but because the only thing that Puppet Rumor cannot invade is consciousness.

Those who are controlled by the "kingdom" are essentially dead, but their bodies are manipulated by invisible hyphae like puppets on a stage.

Puppet Yao perfectly simulates everything about the original owner based on the memories and emotions of the person being absorbed. This is the true meaning of "slave".

This is what it means to truly... dominate.

Previously, Ji Ying had called ordinary people affected by the Puppet Rumor "Lambs". Luo Ling thought they were the weakest group, but in fact, the "Lambs" were the ones who were truly controlled by the Puppet Rumor's body.

"Meat livestock" is just a poor imitation of "eggs".

More importantly, these did not start from the moment Jiangcheng County was shrouded in gray, but gradually permeated the entire city bit by bit from the past.

It is precisely because of this that there are frequent incidents in Jiangcheng County where ordinary people go crazy after inexplicably witnessing strange phenomena.

Perhaps the control of the latent puppet rumor is not perfect enough, or perhaps it is some special talent that causes their bodies to not be controlled, but they see things they shouldn't see through the puppet rumor.

These people are lucky, but also unlucky.

Although most people in Jiangcheng County have been dominated, the latent Puppet Rumor has been using these memories and emotions to maintain physical actions.

To maintain a... vibrant dead city.

"All of this, was done by...my sister?"

Luo Ling slowly closed his eyes.

"...Do not."

"Even my sister is just a lamb...her own lamb."

Puppet Yao used his own abilities to construct a being named "Su Wan" with memories and emotions, intending to deceive someone, who could be Luo Ling or some other being.

However, even He, who was created at the beginning, could not have expected that this skin used for disguise would come to this point.

From the moment Su Wan was born, He was no longer He, but...her.

She is a person with "humanity".

A...sister.

That’s why...

The most bitter part for my sister was when she realized this fact.

Countless sorrows and cries were transmitted into Luo Ling's mind through the "country".

She could clearly sense the panic and despair of these consciousnesses, trapped in their bodies and unable to move.

only...

"I can't save it."

Even if Luo Ling were to unlock the "kingdom" at this moment and release his control over everyone, everything had already reached a point of no return.

“I can’t do anything…”

Feeling the wailing in his mind, Luo Ling sat on the ground woodenly, facing the ground that was covered with only bloodstains and torn pieces of cloth.

"Sister, you don't know what to do, right?"

"How bad! How can a sister behave like this? She threw all the responsibilities to her sister and walked away on her own..."

Luo Ling gradually bent down, her forehead slightly touching the ground, and seemed to have touched something.

She picked it up tremblingly and saw that it was a...

One hundred dollars.

A hundred-dollar bill covered in dust and blood.

"This is Xiao Ling's first time making money. Even if she makes more in the future, the value of the first time will never come back."

The gentle voice in my memory is still there.

But there is no future.

"Kill him."

"Kill everyone."

The choice you are most reluctant to accept is actually the only option.

Rather than letting them be trapped in the "country" in agony and become "slaves" with no control over their own affairs, it is better to send them to be freed.

There are about 400,000 ordinary people in the entire Jiangcheng County.

Among them, only less than a thousand people managed to escape the control, and these people have basically been sent out of the city by the company and the communication group.

The rest...

They are just lost lambs.

Luo Ling stood up unsteadily, and she moved her feet and strolled in the dilapidated Jiangcheng County.

She walked through the collapsed streets, walked to the rivers of the past, and walked through every bit of memory.

Finally, Luo Ling reached the top of Huolu Mountain.

She looked up at the setting sun, which was still beautiful even though it was shrouded in gray.

“It’s so beautiful…”

The scenery remains the same.

But, that person is no longer here.

At the same time, the entire Jiangcheng County seemed to have pressed the pause button. Everyone's movements gradually became stiff, and finally froze at a certain moment.

After a brief strange pause, blood suddenly spurted out of everyone's body.

The skin was torn inch by inch, and the flesh was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After lifting the control, in order to free the consciousness trapped in the body as soon as possible, Luo Ling chose the least painful way and sent 400,000 people in Jiangcheng County on the road.

"Oh!"

After a loud bang, muffled explosions sounded one after another, one after another, like a beautiful piece of music stained with blood.

Luo Ling witnessed all of this happening with her own eyes. She was using her own eyes to keep the last scene of Jiangcheng County in her memory.

The countless wails in my mind gradually slowed down until they disappeared, and the dazzling blood-red flowers before my eyes bloomed completely in the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng County.

Countless lives disappeared completely in just a moment.

But Luo Ling has become numb.

"Sister, I am now...also a monster." She said softly.

She killed a full 400,000 people with her own hands.

At this moment, Luo Ling just wanted to lie down and have a good rest, praying that all this was just a dream.

After waking up from the dream, I am still in my warm home.

Her sister is still waiting for her.

But... impossible.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Endless silence enveloped her, filled with a sense of despair.
