“Don’t look at its eyes!”
In the dirt jail thirty six floors down, Li Xiaoxiao saw Zhao Hen look at the direction of the sound, staring at Polluter 004 for multiple seconds. She widened her eyes in alarm, raising her voice at him to wake him up.
Zhao Hen was also a well-trained old user, Li Xiaoxiao’s words were like thunder in his ears, making him clear headed in a second. Remembering what he had just done, Zhao Hen’s entire body was covered in cold sweat, grateful that he had Li Xiaoxiao here, or else he couldn’t imagine what could have happened.
Before entering this dirt room, Zhao Hen had already mentally prepared himself. No matter what kind of horrible thing Polluter 004 was, he would have been able to accept it. But entering the room, hearing that voice and seeing it, was different from what he had thought. He had unexpectedly forgotten what Li Xiaoxiao had said to him over and over again, and almost did something very wrong.
In this twenty meter tall, ten meter wide dirt jail room, there were four yellow oil lamps in the center.
In the middle of the room, there was a little glass casing.
Polluter 004 was inside this glass casing, hands and arms swinging around, spinning around in place.
004 was like a system hub. It was the core of the country’s user system. It was responsible for operating the ‘Grow some brains, everyone has a responsibility’ APP, the maintenance staff was only responsible for contacting users, sending out missions, and helping them out with trivial tasks during those missions. They were unable to interfere with the APP’s daily operation.
Polluter 004 becoming abnormal was the worst case situation.
Li Xiaoxiao’s expression was bad, she hurriedly took out the communicator, connecting with the Captain Wang above the ground, “Report, 004 has turned abnormal. I repeat, 004 has turned abnormal! Quickly dispatch people down for support, please quickly dispatch… Ah!”
Li Xiaoxiao wasn’t able to finish talking before a sharp, piercing static noise sounded in her head. Her ears were immediately deafened, her brain felt like ten thousand needles were piercing it non-stop. Li Xiaoxiao immediately kneeled down on the ground in pain. Psychological tears soon filled her eyes and she struggled to open them, wanting to ask the user next to her for help.
But Zhao Hen was even more exaggerated.
This dark-skinned man was in terrible pain as he rolled around on the ground. His throat made a sound akin to a beast, even when his hand was almost broken by a level four user, he wasn’t in this much pain. This kind of pain, even he wasn’t able to bear!
The robot in the casing had stopped spinning around at some point and was now plastered on the glass, using that ‘⊙⋁⊙’ expression on it’s display, opening its eyes wide, staring at the two humans.
“Jie Jie Jie Jie…”
“Jie Jie Jie Jie!”
Li Xiaoxiao understood at that moment.
004’s attack towards the users who have already awakened, was probably even more aggressive. So Zhao Hen’s torture must be even more painful than her’s by a multitude. But…
004 has never displayed this kind of attack!
The only thing 004 has done is towards user bodies that are exposed to the same air as it, indiscriminately attack them, contaminate their logic skills, then devour it. It never attacks directly! This was 004’s new attack method, it had always hidden it and never shown it’s hand.
No, she must tell Captain Wang, she must report the situation here to Captain Wang. If Captain Wang and others don’t have any preparations and they come down to basement level thirty six, they will definitely be eradicated!
This young woman suddenly displayed an astonishing willpower. Tears streamed down her face, the veins on her four limbs appeared, Li Xiaoxiao’s throat produced a heavy roar. She grabbed the communicator that had fallen to the floor and used all her energy wanting to press down on the communication button. But then, that piercing pain came aggressively again.
“AHHHH!”
The communicator flew out of her hand, Li Xiaoxiao screamed miserably.
She really couldn’t do it.
She can’t do it!
An oppressing and crazy laughter rang out from the dirt jail, echoing.
Li Xiaoxiao and Zhao Hen’s anguished wailing mixed in, getting smaller and smaller.
A dark dirt wall seemed to close in on her, Li Xiaoxiao’s tears and snot kept on running, her consciousness slowly sinking. The tall and cold dirt wall, the robot behind the glass wall who kept on laughing creepily, the terrible pain that was in her head that caused her to be unable to talk accumulated non-stop, adrenaline kept on being secreted, and Li Xiaoxiao felt like she was about to reach her critical point.
Will she die here?
Will her life just end like this?
Suddenly, at the end of the dirt corridor outside, there was a beep.
In terrible pain, Li Xiaoxiao’s brain cleared for a second.
This, someone has come.
Someone was riding the elevator down.
“Jie Jie Jie Jie!”

In the endless darkness, a tall silhouette appeared out of it, standing in front of the door.
The walking sound stopped.
“Jie Jie Jie… Ka?!”
***
Zhongdu City.
Kangren Community.
In the dim bedroom, Xiao Jinyu sat by the bed, holding a phone in one hand, speaking to the ‘monster’ that had suddenly appeared in his phone.
“…So, you are a magical object?”
The screen immediately had a barrage flash by.
[Jie jie jie jie, I’m Dad’s good son!]
[I’m also the most powerful special object in the world, from top to bottom, it’s all special!]
[Dad, they locked me up in the ground for hundreds of years, hundreds of years! Ying ying ying T^T!]
Staring at the words on the screen, Xiao Jinyu’s mind cleared.
Hundreds of years was definitely an exaggeration. According to when Type-A radiation first appeared, this thing must have only appeared for twenty something years.
As for special object, it was what this ‘monster’ had told him
It was obvious that this monster was not his logic skill, his logic skill had something to do with what he had seen in his eyes before.
His logic skill must be called ‘Eyes’.
Based on what this monster had said, when the Type-A radiation had spread, not only were humans affected, it had also affected things that originally had no life, giving them special abilities. Some objects were directly affected by the radiation, causing a special use; some objects were affected by human logic skills going out of control, turning into special objects.
And it was the most well-known of the special objects.
It can perceive approximately all of China’s logic skill information.
This ability was really scary in this aspect, but what shocked Xiao Jinyu the most was the monster’s creepy ‘Jie jie’ habit.
[Dad, I’ve infiltrated the enemy camp for many years, the enemy has long relaxed around me. They think that I’m just a special object with a brain problem. Ah, I actually am very smart, these humans can’t understand!]
Xiao Jinyu: “……”
I don’t know if you’re smart or not, but your brain’s problem doesn’t seem small.
[It’s time for us to fight back, Dad, kill them all, Jie jie jie jie!]
A lot of questions were already answered from this monster’s mouth, but there was still something else…
Xiao Jinyu: “Why do you say that I’m your dad.”
[Dad is dad, there is no why!]
“……”
“Does it have something to do with my logic skill? Since you can perceive all of the logic skills in China, then can you perceive mine? Does it have something to do with my eyes?”
[Oh, dad hasn’t registered as an user, once you register you’ll know. Jie jie jie jie, those foolish humans were already forcefully registered by me, giving me their logic skill information. They thought they picked up a treasure, making me work for them for free. They don’t know that I was also collecting their information! Also, they’re using the public accounts, but I can give Dad a private account!]
Xiao Jinyu’s pupils shrank.
Personal account?
What did this mean?
This special monster’s ability was quite, exaggeratedly, strong. He unconsciously touched his lower lip, lightly rubbing it. Xiao Jinyu thought a lot, his brain flickering through tens of approaches, ways to get information from the monster’s mouth.
Then.
Xiao Jinyu’s expression froze, directly throwing his phone to the head of his bead, standing straight up, leaving three whole meters between him and the phone.
This monster was going to attack?
In the next second.
[Σ(°△°|||)!!!]
[The pervert is here, the pervert is here!]
[Save me owww!]
[Dad, I’m going to go first!]
[I’ll definitely come back, Dad, wait for me, I’ll definitely come back!!!]
In an instant, the phone screen turned black.
Xiao Jinyu: “……”
After waiting for half a minute, making sure the phone wasn’t going to do anything else, Xiao Jinyu steadied his expression and carefully walked to the head of the bed.
He picked up the phone.
“The APP has finished downloading?”
Seeing the phone recover to its original self, the APP that originally said ‘Download Error’ had finished downloading at some point.
That monster said, this APP was made by it, every person who has awakened their logic skill in China will use it…
Pursing his lips, Xiao Jinyu reached out, tapping on the APP icon.
Just as his finger was about to touch the icon, a black, sharp spear came out and hovered above the APP.
Xiao Jinyu’s reaction was fast, his pupils shrinked, immediately pulling his hand back.
In the next second, this ten centimeter black spear suddenly fell, going through the place his finger was just at, directly spearing through the APP’s icon.
What was this?
Xiao Jinyu looked at this scene in shock.
He didn’t know that at the same time, every user in the country also saw this scene.
After finding out that they couldn’t enter the APP, every user in the country contacted their area’s User Maintenance Association staff, asking about the situation of the APP. After they awakened their logic skill, this APP had always followed them, this APP could provide information on their logic skills, and for some users, this APP knew more of their logic skill information than they did.
A part of the users relied on this APP to understand their logic skills more, to become stronger.
But now the APP had a problem, everyone panicked and naturally paid more attention to the APP’s situation.
Therefore, they saw the black spear scene.
The pitch-black, sharp spear directly pierced into the APP.
Xiao Jinyu seemed to see the APP shake a bit, but it was immediately pierced and suppressed by the black spear.
Slowly, the APP gave up on resisting and stopped moving.
The spear was still attached.
After a while.
Xiao Jinyu couldn’t help but reach out, touching this straight, black spear.
Coldness that reached the bones, entered through his fingertips, spreading through his whole body. Eyes tingling in pain, Xiao Jinyu cried out, and when he opened his eyes again, bright light dots gathered in front of his eyes.
His logic skill was forcefully turned on!
Xiao Jinyu looked at the spear on his phone in fear.
“Hong—”
It suddenly shattered.
The spear shattered in the air, Xiao Jinyu’s mouth gaped open, his eyes wide, looking at the light dots that scattered from the black spear.
He had never seen such a beautiful sight before!
Thousands of colorful dots exploded out from a tiny little spear, like the Big Bang, thousands of stars did their best to emit a beautiful sight, turning into a brilliant star river!
In the room, the light dots danced around non-stop, gathering by Xiao Jinyu’s side.
As time passed, the light dots disappeared one by one.
Xiao Jinyu didn’t know that, what all the other users in the nation saw, was just the black spear breaking. Only he saw the black spear shattering, becoming shocked from the sight afterwards.
After a while.
Xiao Jinyu’s soul returned after seeing that beautiful sight of a star river exploding.
Composing himself, Xiao Jinyu looked at his phone screen that had returned to normal. He thought for a bit before reaching out again, tapping on the ‘Grow Some Brains, Everyone Has a Responsibility’ APP icon.
He entered!
The screen turned black and after a few seconds, a line of bloody red text appeared.
[Welcome to the world of users.]
[You…]
[How long can you survive?]
[Jie jie jie jie!!!]
Xiao Jinyu: “……”
The screen changed again, this time with more information. The more striking thing was the bright red ‘Register User’ button, and above this button was a row of weird text.
Xiao Jinyu raised an eyebrow.
“User ID…”
“Fourth Perspective?”
The author has something to say:
004: Dad~~
Little Goldfish OS: What exactly is this monster… [thinking]
Ninth Sister: Oh? This is called coming on stage?
Fortune Doll: Hehe, don’t worry, you’ll meet up soon! Do you not trust your mom? Your blood related mother!
—
I saw that someone was thinking of the two’s CP name, JiuXiao, YuZhou and others.
Truth to be told, my first reaction.
Ninth Sister, Little Goldfish…
Oh~ Nine Leaking Fish.
Jie jie jie jie…
Nine leaking fish sounds like Nine Licking Fish (damn sounds dirty to me)😂😅
004 is too cute (´﹃｀) Thanks for the chapter!
Oh no… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to reply to you.
The fourth dimension is actually pretty fun to see. There’s a video called 4D Toys and it explains the Fourth Dimension. I think that’s what MC’s skill is like.
Thank you for the chapter!
My mistake, now the ML has entered the stage ahah
Lol 004 calling the ML pervert😂
So ML’s username is Ninth Sister? (dumbfounded.jpg)
