Chapter 15: The Head of the Octopus

The octopus head that is now manifested in the madness and dark negativity that lurks in the depths of humanity throughout the city has swelled to nearly three kilometers in diameter. By this size, the entire central area of the city had been completely occupied by the octopus head and the tentacles.

The humans who survived were basically the ones who had completely calmed down. And those who have lost their minds have all been devoured and become part of the giant octopus.

The strange thing is that this octopus head has no face and looks like a giant tumor. The tentacles continue to stretch throughout the city, and buildings are constantly torn to pieces by the tentacles.

As Lin Ming approached the giant octopus head, the disgusting monster finally seemed to sense the danger. Its head, covered in dense veins, twisted and a face emerged.

This face is very familiar, and it is exactly what Dr. Schreeber looks.

It seemed that he was still a little unaccustomed to it, but this face still made an intermittent sound, "Are you the one who woke me up?" In that case, then become a part of me. ”

The two thick tentacles swished in the direction where Lin Ming was, and then wrapped around them. With a violent torrent of electric light, the two thick tentacles were directly torn into charred pieces by the two bolts of lightning.

As if feeling a sharp pain, a piercing screech emanated from the face of the doctor's face of the octopus head.

"What exactly did you do?"

"Manifest you from the depths of the human heart, and then kill you. I guess that brings me closer to the truth. ”

Lin Ming's hand slapped in the air, and the invisible power turned into tangible thunder power, and a huge hand that was huge enough to be worth half an octopus's head, shining with thunder, fell heavily from mid-air.

There was a thud, accompanied by a shrill scream and the smell of being baked by lightning. The huge octopus head rolled and was directly slapped out by Lin Ming.

"Sure enough, there is no power, but I don't know how to apply it at all."

In fact, in terms of strength, the octopus head has much more energy than Lin Ming. But the vast majority of his power was expended in an endless frenzy.

Lin Ming could concentrate his strength on the head of the octopus that kept attacking, but his tentacles were not completely controlled by it.

So in this way, Lin Ming kept shooting the octopus head from one side of the city to the other as if he were playing a ball, and then crashed into the sky, and then was slammed into the ground from the sky.

Gradually, the octopus head has shrunk from a diameter of three kilometers to less than 500 meters. And the tentacles began to shrink as their strength was consumed.

On the contrary, Lin Ming felt that his control over the core of the city was increasing. It's as if at first he mastered less than 5%, and now he has mastered more than 40%. And once Lin Ming has more than 50% control over the core, then he can completely solve this octopus head in an instant.

However, as the octopus head began to shrink, it was not as easy to deal with as it was at the beginning. In particular, he began to concentrate most of his power, and electric light began to shine on the tentacles.

Instead of being fleshy as they were at the beginning, these tentacles became something somewhere between the physical and the illusory. In this way, both in terms of weirdness and strength, it has become much stronger than before.

I have to say that this octopus head still has a strong learning ability, Lin Ming converted the power of "frequency modulation" into electromagnetic force, and was quickly learned by this octopus head.

But Lin Ming doesn't just have such means. In his hand, there was a giant lightsaber that was nearly five meters long.

Holding the lightsaber in both hands, it slashed at the root of one of the tentacles that suddenly revealed. And as Lin Ming slashed it, the lightsaber in his hand began to expand rapidly.

The blade of the lightsaber was like a cloud of grease cut into it, and it slashed the tentacle straight off the octopus's head.

The severe pain caused the octopus head to shrink a little more, from 500 meters to less than 300 meters. And Lin Ming felt that his strength had increased a little, and his control over the core had exceeded 45%.

Octopus Head also seems to realize that if there is no better way to deal with this difficult enemy in front of him, it will soon lose control of the city's core, and at that point, it will be destroyed.

So just when Lin Ming was ready to cut off the other evolved tentacles of this octopus, he only heard Schreber's voice coming from the mouth of the face of the octopus.

"Wait, why can't we work together and control the world together?"

"Do you know that this procrastination is naΓ―ve?" Lin Ming didn't have the slightest idea of discussing with this octopus head, and the lightsaber in his hand buzzed, directly extending to the level of more than ten meters.

It was as fast as Fang Cai, but with a flash of sword light, another evolutionary tentacle of this octopus head was directly shattered into nothingness.

Lin Ming felt the core of the entire city, and he could feel that his control over the city had expanded to a level that was difficult to match before.

The octopus head began to wilt rapidly after being expelled from the core, and its size was rapidly shrinking. It quickly shrank from 300 meters to 200, then 100, 50, 20 and finally to about the size of Dr. Schreber.

It was not the head of an octopus, but it was completely like Dr. Schreber, standing there with a limp leg.

Lin Ming found that he couldn't leave this world, so he stared at Dr. Schreber with a hint of madness in his eyes, "It seems that not only will we expel you from the core, but we must completely exterminate you." ”

"Maybe you killed me, just as a will wants."

Schreber's words made the mechanical core in Lin Ming's will spin a little, and the madness that was originally hidden in his heart was instantly suppressed by reason, "Yes, I was unconsciously controlled by that crazy and chaotic will just now. ”

Lin Ming fell from mid-air and asked, "Doctor Schreber, when did you reunite with your crazy side?" ”

"When my crazy side starts to decline, the rational side naturally regains the upper hand. So sanity and madness are inherently indistinguishable from each other. It's not that we're one again, it's that we're one. ”

"And what do you mean by will?"

"It is a force that comes from outside like Your Excellency, and it does not belong to this world in the first place. The origin of this world, I don't know anymore. Because it's an illusory space in itself. Call it a dream or a virtual world. ”

"Yes, how exactly did this world come into being, what is the essence, even if I control the core now, I don't know." Lin Ming's will was penetrating deep into the depths of the entire core at this time.

But in the deepest part of the core, there is nothing, but it is clear that this is not normal. What he wants is to leave this cinematic world, not to be trapped here.

Although Lin Ming now also has the ability to renovate this space at will, and even let the sun rise as usual, so that the city can regain its vitality and vitality.

None of this makes sense. Because he had stood at the top and seen the whole world clearly, there was only one city, and the surrounding images that seemed to be cosmic space were nothing more than projections, which could be transformed into any image.

In this way, it seems that he has the power of a "god", but he is still trapped here.

So Lin Ming remembered the previous generation of administrators, Dr. Schreber. It is clear that he also once had such power, so it is clear that he has also discovered the limits of this world.

"When I realized that there was a limit to this world, I was trapped in it like a cage, and I couldn't get out. I began to think about the reality of the whole world. Until one day, an alien will told me that the whole world was just a movie of human origin. I felt like my worldview had completely collapsed. At that time, crazy thoughts, thoughts of destroying everything, began to breed uncontrollably. ”

"So you've found the best solution to turn the crazy irrational stuff into human desires and emotions, and the rational part into those brainworm-like things. And the part that belongs to the self is Dr. Schreber? ”

"Yes, that's it. But you know what? And when I did, I realized that the whole world was starting to get stuck in a weird loop. ”

"What loop?"

"Whenever I plan to complete the whole experiment and try to break through this dilemma and leave, there will always be a 'person' who has mastered another part of the core program to awaken. Then, he will find clues and then find out the truth about the world. Secretly guided by that side of my ego, I finally awakened. In this way, we can use this core program to transform the whole world into a new world with oceans, sunrises and sunsets. ”

"And then?" Lin Ming was a little curious, listening to what Schreb meant, this world had been restarted many times.

"As you might have guessed, from the moment the new world was born, the whole world would restart again, to the moment 'I' suddenly failed to instill him with new memories. And then it goes on and on, and so on. And each time, I only knew it all at the last moment. And then again, we get caught up in this endless cycle. So really, I'm going crazy and I don't know what's going on. ”

"And this guy?" Lin Ming had a bad guess.

"Yes, it is the body that Your Excellency possesses, which has no ego, and then gradually builds up the self. Only this is the first time that the whole cycle has deviated! ”

"This is the first time, the future that should have happened has not happened, on the contrary, the arrival of Your Excellency has brought this endless cycle of time to a halt. I'm not going to let it awaken again and again, and then follow the established plot, and finally the new world is born and it ends. Although this world is ruined, it is at least much better than a world that has been restarted indefinitely. ”
