Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 394: Discussing with me on how to deal with me, isn’t that inappropriate?_1
"It’s all a mess. I haven’t even stabilized my own situation, and more trouble is brewing," Hand of God sighed wearily. He felt completely cornered, with no advantage whatsoever.
Green Plum Brews Wine sat silently to the side. They had faced Fallen Players before, but never any this troublesome, and certainly not in these numbers. Previously, they had dealt with single-digit numbers at most, so the harm caused wasn’t significant.
This time, however, there were at least a hundred of them. They were adept at creating chaos, manipulating public opinion, and more. The emergence of The Mistaken Doctor had only made the already chaotic situation worse.
"Something’s happened," Wang Linchi said, walking in, his voice grave.
"What is it now? Don’t tell me there’s a riot," Hand of God said, rubbing his temples, thoroughly exasperated.
"It hasn’t reached that severity yet, but those Fallen Players have made another move. Taking advantage of the chaos, they’ve actually managed to stir all the remaining Erroneous Sins together," Wang Linchi said, finding a place to sit down.
"What!" Green Plum Brews Wine exclaimed. "How dare they!"
"What wouldn’t they dare? They’ve done things targeting the Game System itself. If Luck is on our side, perhaps nothing major will happen. If our Luck is bad, we might have to face another terrifying Erroneous Sin," Wang Linchi said with a shrug.
"No, if our Luck is bad, we’ll likely only be facing one," Hand of God said. "Their goal probably isn’t to create two Erroneous Sins. This is just the beginning."
"So, you two, the top one and two in the rankings, should go out and deal with it. If you really can’t handle it, call the Game System to intervene," Wang Linchi stated bluntly.
Hearing this, Hand of God gave a bitter laugh. "We can’t solve it. We’ve already reported it. The Game System has been dispatching resources, but who knows what’s going on."
"Then what’s to be done?" Wang Linchi asked, feigning ignorance.
Wang Linchi knew all too well about the resource dispatch. He had devoured every last bit of the dispatched resources; not a single fraction had reached its intended destination. His greed was such that, if caught, he’d face the harshest possible penalty.
Unfortunately, the Game System hadn’t yet realized what was happening. While dispatching resources, it was also running self-diagnostics. However, because all the problems were personally overridden and locked by the Game System itself, it couldn’t detect any issues.
Currently, the Game System knew the instance was having problems but couldn’t find the root cause. It wanted to resolve it, but the dispatched resources vanished as soon as they entered. Secondly, it couldn’t implement further anti-virus measures. Its CPU was probably smoking.
"It’s hopeless. I can’t solve it," Hand of God said bluntly. He truly was out of options.
The main issue was that he lacked a Protagonist’s Aura. If he had one, he wouldn’t need to worry about these things. After all, at this point, with internal and external threats, his abilities weren’t god-tier; it was understandable that he might just give up.
"That makes sense. I’m planning to find a place to hide. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Besides, it’s not my instance; the Game System will definitely solve it," Wang Linchi said with a laugh.
Green Plum Brews Wine was pondering, connecting various pieces of information in his mind, trying to find a solution. However, it proved to be a lost cause. Finally, he nodded helplessly. "Let’s go. We really can’t solve this."
The three of them quickly left the dormitory building. The entire instance channel was already in an uproar. The vast majority of Players were like walking powder kegs, ready to explode at the slightest spark.
Hand of God and his group were still using language and text, but the Fallen Players were directly using Spells to influence emotions. How could the former possibly win? It was a completely overwhelming attack; their speeches and persuasions hadn’t even taken effect before the other side directly controlled everyone’s emotions.
"But speaking of which, why haven’t we been affected?" Hand of God suddenly realized.
Normally, they should have been affected too, yet they remained completely calm.
"They’re probably afraid of alerting the snake by striking the grass," Green Plum Brews Wine guessed. "We’re ranked first and second. If they used it on us, it might trigger some of the Game System’s countermeasures. Besides, as long as they control the majority, a few of us won’t be a problem."
Hearing this explanation, Wang Linchi couldn’t help but nod. Clever people are indeed clever; they’ve even concocted a perfect explanation for themselves.
Of course, that wasn’t the real reason. They were unaffected simply because Wang Linchi, the top insider, was present, and the "Big Shark" hadn’t targeted them.
"Have they succeeded?" Hand of God stared at the massive, tangled entity opposite The Mistaken Doctor. It was slowly contorting, and he couldn’t tell if it had crashed or was in the process of Fusion.
The Mistaken Doctor possessed self-awareness, but it was extremely chaotic. Faced with the tangled mass, it instinctively recoiled. It wasn’t foolish enough to crash right into it.
"No, I’ve thought of a solution!" Green Plum Brews Wine suddenly exclaimed.
Wang Linchi, standing nearby, was somewhat surprised. You can solve this?
"As long as this tangled body is allowed to complete its Fusion and become another Erroneous Sin of comparable size, they will face off from a distance, mutually wary."
"An Erroneous Sin instinctively repels its own kind. Especially after Fusion, it seems to act more on instinct due to the mental chaos caused by fusing too many selves."
"As long as the Fusion is successful, there’s a chance a stalemate will form. If that happens, we’ll be safe." Green Plum Brews Wine had found a blind spot in their enemy’s plan.
That was also why the "Big Shark" had said a sufficient armed force was needed to suppress it. The two Erroneous Sins would repel each other, completely unwilling to become entangled. That’s where they would need the Saint Master to lend a hand.
Well said! Wang Linchi thought sardonically, then voiced his doubt, "The question is, how can you be sure the tangled body will successfully complete its Fusion instead of just crashing?"
"Don’t worry about that. The Fallen Players will help us." Green Plum Brews Wine said with a mysterious smile, "What we need to do is foil the Fallen Players’ subsequent plans to facilitate the further Fusion of the Erroneous Sin."
"Essentially, we’re not dealing with the Erroneous Sin, but with the Fallen Players—possibly just one!" Green Plum Brews Wine grew more excited as he spoke. "This drastically reduces the difficulty!"
Hearing this, Wang Linchi was inwardly stunned. Holy hell, that idea is actually brilliant!
The problem was, that person was Wang Linchi. Neither of them had realized it. Even if they found the "Big Shark" now, it would be too late.
The chaos among the Players was the best catalyst for the Fusion of the tangled mass. Unless those two could quell the explosive atmosphere among the Players right now, this Fusion was bound to succeed.
This was a little insight Wang Linchi had figured out. Back when The Mistaken Doctor was born, Wang Linchi had used the ambient Chaos to energize it, successfully disrupting the balance.
Balance meant a crash; imbalance meant successful Fusion. After all, they were dealing with rules of error.
"So, how do you plan to find them?" Wang Linchi probed.
As soon as he said that, Green Plum Brews Wine’s expression stiffened. He really had no clues.
As for the Players suspected of being Fallen Players, they could investigate them. However, judging from past situations, most of them were likely just scapegoats pushed forward to take the blame. Even if he caught them, it would be useless. They probably didn’t even know who their superior was.
Unless the true source was eliminated, catching any number of underlings would be pointless.
"Among the first batch of Players!" Hand of God suddenly interjected.
"The Fusion is about to complete! We need to move now. Linyuan Fish, you monitor the situation. Hand of God and I will go apprehend them." Green Plum Brews Wine gritted his teeth, thinking that since they didn’t know who it was, they might as well gather all the remaining Players from the first batch.
Wang Linchi glanced at the second colossal Erroneous Sin gradually taking shape and nodded. "No problem, leave it to me. I’ll notify you immediately if there’s any sign of trouble."
The two of them naturally hurried off without a moment’s delay.
Watching them go, Wang Linchi didn’t feel any sense of superiority or satisfaction from leading them on. There was no enmity between them, so he felt nothing of the sort.
Error soul seed · Sick evil beast (Legendary Level)
Unfortunately, not long after the two had left, that Erroneous Sin was successfully born.
While The Mistaken Doctor was humanoid, the Painful Beast resembled a giant, flayed canine creature, its body covered in numerous abscesses, emitting an overpowering stench.
The two Erroneous Sins occupied the northern and southern areas of the hospital grounds, respectively. They faced each other from a distance, neither daring to make a move.
The reason was, both were excessively large and had fused too many other Erroneous Sins. A single misstep could cause them to become entangled.
Unlike the Game System, which possessed numerous extraordinary abilities, neither of them did. Once entangled, they would be unable to break free, so instinct compelled them to remain still.
