Chapter 726: This Thing Can't Be Eaten

The next night, Qin Muye watched as cracks and frosted glass areas appeared continuously in the mountain village. Even the village chief and the villagers seemed off.

Of course, it wasn't a problem with the model, but with the logic.

For example, someone went to the frosted glass area to farm and harvested a pile of stones, claiming it was roe deer meat. They even performed a live eating demonstration for Qin Muye, looking completely normal.

Things were messed up here, like the time. The villagers should be sleeping at this hour, and farming shouldn't yield stones, let alone be considered roe deer meat.

"Should have known better than to be so reckless. Now, the data is collected, but the entire village has become bizarre," Qin Muye's eyes twitched.

To leave early, Qin Muye had been a bit exaggerated during his interactions today, which unexpectedly led to the internal chaos of the entire village.

He could also feel the Three Officials Emperor trying to restore the village's logic to normal, but it was clearly beyond his capabilities.

Some areas were in a deadlock, and some had even changed their nature.

For instance, fish fell at the village entrance, and rice at the village end. Qin Muye could just pick them up, and although it was night, some areas were already bright, causing half the village to be in the night and the other half in the day.

In the daytime areas, the villagers were sleeping, while in the nighttime areas, the villagers were working the fields and harvesting stones.

"Got what I came for, better leave before things get worse. Otherwise, the Three Officials Emperor will have a lot to settle with me," knowing he had caused enough trouble for the Three Officials Emperor, he knew he couldn't stay.

If he stayed, the Three Officials Emperor would definitely not let him off.

"But I can't just leave without doing anything. After all, it's the Three Officials Emperor's mind, I need to leave something behind."

Qin Muye thought for a moment and quickly came up with something that had been discarded.

Yes, it was the mind parasite that failed in the Shining Universe. This thing still had some use.

But he wasn't sure what it would mutate into in the village.

The existence of the mind parasite relies on the mental thoughts of living beings. When it first forms, it manifests as a split personality, although the villagers were already quite split, they could still split further.

Qin Muye threw the mind parasite into the sky, and at a certain height, it instantly exploded into a mist. The mist spread out like a living thing.

The mind parasite was drifting toward all the villagers, forming a parasitic relationship.

The process was quick, after all, there were only so many people. Waiting for ten or eight days was out of the question.

"Maybe I should leave first?" Qin Muye thought, seeing the parasitization complete and immediately take effect, he realized he couldn't stay.

The villagers' bodies began to twist, and a new head grew from their necks, each in a different position—some on the throat, some on the side, and so on.

"Indeed, as I suspected, the logic is even more chaotic."

At first glance, the new heads looked normal, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that their faces and features were made of some strange organs rather than a normal human face. The sounds they made were not human but the friction of flesh and bone.

More importantly, these new personalities had no self-awareness, only a chaotic and bizarre logic.

For example, using their eyes to eat, or their noses to see.

The villagers already had logical issues, and the parasites on them would surely follow suit. If they parasitized the body, they might grow normally, but parasitizing the mind would not end well.

Although Qin Muye adjusted a lot of data to ensure smooth growth and had done a simple simulation of the results, the final form was still unexpected, but within acceptable limits.

With the successful parasitization of the mind parasite, the next step was to absorb nutrients and grow.

If there was no harm to the host, it wouldn't be called parasitization but symbiosis. Both parties would benefit. Parasitization is harmful to the host and has no benefits, making it negative.

"Wait, why only heads?" Qin Muye watched as the heads continued to swell, finding it bizarre. He collected more data and further simulated the process.

"Because the structure is different, it can't grow, this is really..." Qin Muye was somewhat amused and exasperated. The villagers themselves were different from normal living beings, and with the problems that arose, the mind parasite couldn't determine the normal physiological structure, so it could only extract nutrients and develop through their thoughts.

Soon, the heads, each as large as a pumpkin, began rolling on the ground, while the villagers turned into withered, humanoid creatures. However, under the Three Officials Emperor's influence, they quickly recovered.

They inflated like balloons, which looked completely unscientific.

The Three Officials Emperor clearly noticed the presence of the mind parasite, but the reaction was slow, seemingly unable to determine what it was.

This was probably a problem of achieving enlightenment through rules. If it were a normal intelligent life form, even if they couldn't determine what it was, they would immediately clear it out. However, the Three Officials Emperor did not; it only allocated some computational power to analyze a solution.

Yes, the Three Officials Emperor was still thinking about how to solve the problem, rather than having already solved it.

This rigidness was completely at odds with His status, giving the impression that He was just newly born.

There were many similar situations. Before truly obtaining self-awareness and intelligence, the Three Officials Emperor had very serious issues.

Thus, Qin Muye felt reassured. Now, he was fifty percent sure that the Three Officials Emperor was not yet fully formed, and the other fifty percent was that this guy was an old silver coin, deliberately acting this way.

However, if He were indeed acting, Qin Muye could only say that He was going all out. Just with this move, the loss of essence alone was enough to render thousands of years of the Three Officials Emperor's efforts futile.

The main purpose of acting was to undermine Qin Muye, but if He was in this state, how could He undermine him? Instead, He would be counter-controlled by Qin Muye.

Of course, it was also possible that the Three Officials Emperor had other tricks up His sleeve, being a 9th-rank entity. That's why Qin Muye was still fifty-fifty on this.

Thirty seconds later, the mind parasite sank into the ground, seemingly fused with it, clearly indicating that the Three Officials Emperor had reacted.

However, it was indeed too slow. For an ordinary person, thirty seconds might be short, but for a 9th-rank, if it were Qin Muye, he could have slaughtered the opponent, chosen a TV show, ordered takeout, taken a shower, and enjoyed a decade's worth of overtime leave in that time.

While the leave might be a bit unreasonable, it didn't matter; Qin Muye was used to it.

"I was a bit reckless, eating it like this will cause problems." Just as Qin Muye said this, he saw the entire mountain village begin to fluctuate between light and dark, with numerous cracks appearing.

The thing he created, if swallowed by the Three Officials Emperor, wouldn't be a problem, but if swallowed by the small mountain village, it would create a large, self-destructing mind parasite.

It was originally just a minor, insignificant idea, a backup of a backup, and in Qin Muye's plan, it should have been directly handled by the Three Officials Emperor.

"Similar to the Rootdia Mother Goddess, a real oddity," Qin Muye couldn't help but comment.

He felt the ground rising beneath his feet, the entire mountain village changing.

At this moment, he understood one thing: it was time to leave. If he didn't, he would be caught in the explosion.

"Coming a bit abruptly, the protagonist aura can serve as an apology. I have boiling water on the stove, so I won't stay for dinner." Qin Muye said, threw the protagonist aura, and decisively ran away.

When he left the mountain village and looked back, the original village had transformed into a giant, bizarre humanoid head, which continued to inflate and distort.

After inflating to its limit, it undoubtedly exploded.

However, it was enveloped by creeping darkness, and everything that exploded was annihilated into the purest form of luck, rather than actual matter.

After all, once this boundary was crossed, reality and illusion would be inverted, and the mountain village could not leave this area.

Thus, even if it exploded, it would only revert to luck. If it were to reassemble into a mountain village, it would be impossible.

This was the result of the Three Officials Emperor's efforts over countless years. Destruction was easy, but creation was far more difficult.
