Die, Replay, Repeat

"This process is irreversible. In the near future, the human world will be completely swallowed by the Other Side, and humans will eventually vanish."

Everyone turned serious as they read the message.

Even the carefree Yang Ming became serious.

Only Ma Xingbang was different. Although he pretended to be shocked, his gaze said otherwise.

Fang Xiu wasn't as shocked as the others. Having been to the Other Side, he had already had the same suspicion before.

Other than the extinction of humanity, he was more concerned about the overlap.

The two worlds were overlapping!

Whether it was called an invasion or merging, it was the same thing: the two worlds were overlapping.

_'So because the two worlds are overlapping, I can see through both worlds?' _Fang Xiu thought to himself.

Then he continued to read.

"To the lucky one in God's Plan, you must have guessed my purpose by now, and understand everything I have done."

"Although the whole world may get me wrong and hate me for this, I have to do it. For this is the only way to save the world. But you're different, you lucky one, you shall be able to understand what I did."

"Even if you don't agree with my ideals now, one day, time will prove that I am right."

Yang Ming cursed, "What the hell? What is this guy talking about? I'd understand what he did? Well, I literally don't feel anything at all now!"

Not just Yang Ming, even the smarter Bai Qi was completely confused.

Probably the only ones who understood what Zhou Qingfeng was talking about were Fang Xiu and Ma Xingbang.

Fang Xiu understood everything after reading the torn paper and visiting the Other Side, while Ma Xingbang seemed to have known it all along.

"My friend, I have left a gift for youwithin this palace, named the Genesis. It is the key to saving the world, the key to perfect Specterization, and also the core that sustains the entire Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone."

"The seal of this Specter Zone is weakening. Soon, the Specter Zone will rupture, and the experimental subjects inside will appear in the human world. When that happens, the whole Greenvine City will be destroyed by Specters."

"To stop this, you must become the master of the Genesis. Once the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone loses its core, it will return to the Other Side, and the crisis will be resolved."

"You, the lucky one, please follow your heart's choice and accept the gift."

Seeing this, Fang Xiu finally understood Zhou Qingfeng's intentions.

It was a clear case of moral coercion. He openly threatened "the lucky one"—if he did not accept the Genesis, then Greenvine City and even the entire nation would suffer unbearable losses, with widespread devastation.

If the lucky one wanted to save Greenvine City, he would have to accept the Genesis.

The description of the Genesis also indicated that once Yang Ming accepted it, he would inevitably be Specterized. Zhou Qingfeng's ultimate goal was to make Yang Ming agree with his ideals and had a complete Specterization.

However, Fang Xiu still wondered why Zhou Qingfeng was doing this.

'Why is Yang Ming so important that Zhou Qingfeng has to make him agree and get him Specterized? Yang Ming is God's choice, and Zhou Qingfeng's goal is mass Specterization...'

Suddenly, Fang Xiu had a suspicion. He speculated that Zhou Qingfeng was not trying to get Yang Ming's but the world's agreement. Yang Ming, being God's choice, could to some extent represent the world's will. If even God's choice choose to become a Specter, then the Specterization of the whole human kind would be around the corner.

Realizing this, Fang Xiu immediately decided that he must secure the Genesis for himself, not leaving it to Yang Ming.

All Specters must die. He would kill them all and create a world without them. He wanted revenge.

"The Genesis?" Yang Ming's face darkened, anger seething in his eyes.

Zhou Qingfeng had threatened him using the safety of the entire Greenvine City, crossing his bottom line.

"He wants me to become a Specter, huh? I'd like to see—"

"Don't worry about the Genesis, just hand it to me when the time comes," Fang Xiu said, effectively cutting him off.

Yang Ming was slightly surprised, "Xiu, you—"

"I have seen the future," Fang Xiu said.

A look of relief appeared on Yang Ming's face, and he nodded vigorously. Nothing could be more comforting than those words.

He had been prepared to fight to the death. He was ready to forcibly accept the Genesis for the sake of Greenvine City, using his willpower to resist Specterization. However, Fang Xiu had come up with a better plan now, which spared him from the risk. Yang Ming was so delighted about it.

Ma Xingbang's face soured. He immediately exclaimed, "The Genesis is dangerous. We should hand it over to headquarters for safekeeping. How can you keep it for yourselves?"

"I knew we should have killed you earlier," Fang Xiu said calmly.

Yang Ming nodded. "This place is quite hidden, the body is unlikely to be found."

Bai Qi didn't speak, only touching the short knife at his waist.

Ma Xingbang's face changed several times. Finally, he forced a smile and said, "I was just saying. The Investigation Bureau has rules—psychics can choose whether to hand over or keep the spoils from Specter incidents. If you hand them over, the Investigation Bureau will also give you a reward. It won't be unfair to you. It's just a suggestion, don't be impulsive."

Fang Xiu glanced at him calmly and then walked toward the palace.
