Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 546: Chapter 164: The Women in the Farm

Outside the Mist, Sanchez City.

Not long ago, following someone’s rampage in the Well, Well City experienced a massive riot.

This riot caused the transportation in Well City to be paralyzed, and the credibility of the seven major consortiums was significantly reduced.

At the same time, in the corresponding world, the concentration of distortions in many areas of the real world began to decrease anomalously.

Among these areas was Sanchez City.

Sanchez City was now besieged by external enemies.

All of this was, naturally, orchestrated by the Kein Group behind the scenes.

Time after time, they would use the Evil Fallen within their own group as heroes to ward off Evil Fallen from outside Sanchez City.

But in fact, both sides were in cahoots.

It was just that not long ago, the Sanchez Group, having spent a vast sum on advertisements and extensive propaganda to promote their hero—an Evil Fallen with three perfect-level Mutation Entries—

became human.

After becoming human, she even permanently lost the possibility of becoming an Evil Fallen again.

Before becoming an Evil Fallen, she was an ordinary woman from Meinan Country.

Her husband died on the way to fleeing to Sanchez City, and later, not wanting to be a tool for childbirth, she decided to go to another department of the Kein Group—the Sanctuary of Heroes.

What is the Sanctuary of Heroes?

It is the place where Evil Fallen are made.

Different people have different potentials after transforming into Evil Fallen.

The Kein Group currently possesses countless Evil Fallen, but these Evil Fallen generally have low potential.

Only those who have a huge obsession with life might produce rare or perfect entries in the process of becoming Evil Fallen.

And now, the "reverse Evil Fallen" incident occurred, with some heroes turning into humans.

Especially that leading figure of the Kein Group.

Ultimately, the fate of this female Evil Fallen hero was to continue to return to the Northern District, a place—

specifically intended for collecting blood from men and to facilitate childbirth in women.

That is what Bai Wu saw in her revelation—the "Breeding Farm."

Here, humans are like livestock, serving solely to provide blood, various negative emotions, and newborns.

Of course, it all cloaks itself in the guise of freedom.

They seem not to force anyone, with television ads ubiquitous, guidance from the upper echelons, and slogans seen everywhere subtly influencing people.

In the end, with generous compensation, there aren’t many choices for a human to survive in this city.

Experience various pains and continuously exude negative emotions within a certain threshold.

Or provide blood and reproductive capabilities.

The latter is terrifying.

The Kein Group will place first-time mothers in a certain area.

As soon as the childbirth is over, before they even have a chance to glance at the baby in their arms, they are quickly moved to the next area.

This area is filled with women who are on their second childbirth.

Of course, the number of women in the second childbirth area is evidently less.

And there are—in total—seven such areas.

The reality is, if human physiology could surpass its limits, the Kein Group wouldn’t mind creating eight, nine areas.

But humans capable of giving birth so many times and still surviving are virtually non-existent.

Of course, the main reason is that, up until now, Sanchez City hasn’t had enough time to test a series of methods.

All humans who provide blood, emotions, and newborns for the Evil Fallen end up brainwashed.

They will promote the virtues of this place and attract more humans here.

But all of this, to some extent, involves elements of hypnosis.

Within the Mist, despite the harsher environment, humans in the refuge have true freedom.

Above the sea, in the Ark, humans endure the extreme polar temperatures, but likewise, they harbor hope.

Only Sanchez City, this sacred land of humanity constantly propagated by the Kein Group and humanity’s last bastion, was not made for the survival of mankind.

Unconsciously, humans had become livestock bred by Evil Fallen and twisted ecosystems.

Powerful mental control ensured they were unaware of this fact.

So much so that they didn’t even have the will to resist.

Everything seemed perfectly reasonable, becoming the norm.

In this city, humans sold anything from their bodies without any moral concerns.

On the contrary, because of certain implications, they felt everything was just as it should be.

To make these humans realize their predicament, to be aware that they were no longer living as humans, one had to lift the mental shackles.

And the only one who could lift them was someone from the farms.

After all, Kein Group was nothing more than a card in the hands of Farm Owner Jing Yi.

...

...

The unknown territory, the farms.

In the nine farms arranged in a "Well" pattern, due to various recent accidents, the farms had become much quieter.

That evil, mouth-covered gigantic arm had devoured many children of the farms.

But children, these "items," were never in short supply on the farms.

In the past, they were personally selected by Jing Yi, but now that Jing Yi was seriously injured, the children of the farms were chosen by the people of Sanchez City.

It was foreseeable—the quality of "K" would only deteriorate over time.

Although Xi Yunzi’s generation of "K" was nowhere near the Golden Generation, they had still caused trouble for Bai Wu and the others.

They even had thoughts of escaping from the farms. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The future "K"... might not be the same.

In Farm No. 7, which had once fostered the Golden Generation, there were occasional coughs from Jing Yi inside the church.

His injuries were still far from healed.

His recent fight with a mysterious bald figure had made Jing Yi feel fear for the first time.

Fortunately, he had soon figured out the ins and outs.

Of course, Jing Yi would not die.

But he was well aware that unlike his other brothers and sisters, he would eventually "return" to the Twisted Master.

Those with the Power of Causality should avoid looking into their own life and death the most.

Even without using the Power of Causality, Jing Yi had seen his future.

After all, compared to the other five at the Well Level, he was of special importance to the Twisted Master.

These days, Jing Yi had been recuperating and nurturing himself.

He hardly ever left the church, and as for the children on the farm, their mothers, and the various tests that determined their qualifications, Jing Yi could not attend to them.

The church on Farm No. 7 had become forbidden territory.

Without Jing Yi’s permission, no one was allowed to enter.

But Dong Nianyu was an exception.

A day ago, Dong Nianyu returned to the farm. It had taken her quite some time to reach the farm from the world beyond the mist.

For an entire day, Dong Nianyu had been settling two outsiders.

Upon learning of Jing Yi’s return, Dong Nianyu worried that he might notice something about her, but her anxiety eased once she learned that Jing Yi was seriously hurt and secluded in the church on Farm No. 7.

This noon, after settling the two unwelcome visitors—Qu Li and Shen Shuyue—Dong Nianyu began to seek out Jing Yi for a talk.

She needed to know the extent of Jing Yi’s injuries, to determine how much time Shen Shuyue and Qu Li had to explore the farm.

Dong Nianyu knocked on the outer door of the church.

"I’ve come to see how you are, Jing Yi." fгeewebnovёl.com

Dong Nianyu was just a Split Body, or rather, another Split Body of Xiaoyugan that had been deceived and abandoned by Bai Yuan.

But Xiaoyugan’s Split Bodies were also "K," and in a sense, Dong Nianyu was part of the Golden Generation.

That generation’s Ks never considered Jing Yi their "father".

Dong Nianyu was the same.

"Come in, my child."

Jing Yi’s voice was tinged with a touch of weakness.

The door to the church had been sealed by Jing Yi himself.

After Jing Yi granted permission, the seal turned into black mist and dissipated with the wind.

The church doors slowly opened.

Jing Yi sat calmly at the church’s prayer spot, seemingly no different from any other day.

Yet Dong Nianyu could feel that Jing Yi was very weak:

"Did Laosi do this?"

"Laosi certainly has the strength, but lacks the audacity. The one who wounded me to this degree was the incarnation of the World Will."

Thinking of that bald figure, Jing Yi still felt some lingering fear. If it weren’t for many simulations confirming the appearance of the Twisted Master, convinced that the bald man was already dead, these days he probably would have been restless.

"You look like you won’t be getting better anytime soon... The world outside has changed a lot, a lot."

"I know, my master has already arrived. After my master retrieves all bodies, everything will undergo Earth-shaking changes, and a new world will come very soon."

Jing Yi’s expression showed only contentment and joy.

After many causal deductions, he had found no existence that could compete with the Twisted Master.

Dong Nianyu didn’t care about these things:

"How long before you get better? I want to see Bai Yuan, can you help me? Jing Liu once used this reason to woo me, I know he might be dead, but perhaps... there might be another way to see him."

"If you can’t do it, can you please ask that god?"

Jing Yi’s gaze carried an affection:

"Even though for seven hundred years, I have been telling you, guiding you, you are still fixated on him."

Normally, Jing Yi would continue to "guide" Dong Nianyu, but today, he deviated from his usual behavior.

Jing Yi saw a certain future, so he spoke openly:

"Bai Yuan did something unforgivable to you, but it’s funny to say, you, and your... shadows, will all forgive him."

"There was even a time when I thought, as long as Jing San finds them all back, I would forgive them too."

"It’s just that at that time, even I didn’t know that they each had received the revelation of the Lord of Order."

"Who wouldn’t love such smart and lovely children? But this child Bai Yuan... is heartless."

Bai Yuan is heartless.

Jing Yi told some stories of Bai Yuan’s past.

Bai Yuan was once very obsessed with exploring human emotions. The pleasures and sorrows of life deeply puzzled Bai Yuan.

Humans seek happiness, and so did Bai Yuan. He asked Jing Yi how to be happy.

In Jing Yi’s eyes, Bai Yuan’s status was completely different from the other children.

If possible, Jing Yi would even hope that, after saving the Twisted Master in the future, he could request the great Twisted Master to bestow upon Bai Yuan the Shell Ritual.

So in a sense, Jing Yi was cultivating Bai Yuan as a protégé.

Jing Yi’s tone was tinged with regret:

"Human happiness is nothing more than a few things. The satisfaction from food, carnal desires, power, games, and exploration. And... the satisfaction of procreation."

"But later on, I discovered that there were many things that would not bring Bai Yuan happiness, only boredom."

"He liked thrilling things. The joy brought by food existed, but it was scant. As for money, carnal desires, power, Bai Yuan despised these things to the extreme."

"The place where he truly felt joy was in games and exploration. Before leaving the farm, Bai Yuan said something to me."

Dong Nianyu asked:

"What did he say?"

"He said, Teacher, I am becoming less and less happy. Perhaps the games on the farm have become uninteresting to me. I want to play a game with you."

Jing Yi caressed the church’s mahogany chairs:

"It was also around that time, I discovered that the only things in the world that could pique Bai Yuan’s interest were games and exploration."

"I was merely a part of his game."

"Though he eventually died, don’t feel sympathy for such a person, my child. Why obsess over someone heartless?"

Bai Yuan being heartless, this might be the most justified description.

Dong Nianyu shook her head:

"I just want to make some things clear. If what you say is true, why did he have a child of his own... "

Bai Wu.

Today, within Jing Yi’s causality, one naturally cannot ignore the existence of Bai Wu.

He understood the implication in Dong Nianyu’s words.

"You are perplexed as to why Bai Yuan did not take you with him, considering that you and that other child, who is just like you, are not lacking in talent compared to her."

Dong Nianyu didn’t deny it; it had always grieved her over the years.

Bai Yuan’s choice back then came as a surprise to her.

If Bai Yuan had taken his main body, that would have been one thing, but the one Bai Yuan took away was clearly another Split Body.

They were both Split Bodies, Dong Nianyu didn’t understand... why she was the only one abandoned.

Now, knowing that Bai Yuan had a child whom she had already met,

Dong Nianyu found it difficult not to think in a certain direction.

Although Dong Nianyu possessed spiritual power strong enough to affect the entire world, even the Well Level, she was still not a god with an omnipotent perspective.

She too could be confused by many things.

Jing Yi laughed:

"Do you think he didn’t take the main body with him? Do you think the Split Body he took away is not just another piece on the board?"

Dong Nianyu looked at Jing Yi, puzzled.

Jing Yi also revealed a part of the truth:

"The Split Body he took away was just a discard, a expendable meant to entrap Jing San. I’ve said it before, Bai Yuan is heartless."

"Even your main bodies... in Bai Yuan’s eyes, are merely tools."

"Perhaps Bai Yuan indeed had his own child, but trust me, that child, to Bai Yuan, is just part of a game and exploration."

In this world, the one who understood Bai Yuan the best, perhaps in the eyes of all who knew, was considered to be the Ten of Spades.

After all, the Ten of Spades was Bai Yuan’s archenemy.

But that was a deception.

Only Jing Yi truly saw through Bai Yuan:

"A person without a heart, everything they do, is merely to bring themselves pleasure."

"You might feel some sympathy for Bai Yuan’s child, because his childhood was surely not very comfortable. It might even be... worse than that of children in a farm."

This was a rare truth.

But Dong Nianyu felt increasingly distressed; if Xiaoyugan was just Bai Yuan’s discard, then the one who married Bai Yuan—was it the one with the immense spiritual power, the main body?

She deflated and asked with a hint of despair:

"What... what kind of person is my main body? Does she willingly allow herself to be used by Bai Yuan?"

"Is she Bai Wu’s mother?"

These two questions, Dong Nianyu knew, even Jing Yi might not know the answers to.

For seven hundred years, Jing Yi had known that Dong Nianyu hated Bai Yuan, but this hatred stemmed from a love that was sought but not obtained.

He had also been exploiting this to make Dong Nianyu work for him.

Many questions, Jing Yi avoided and did not answer.

But now, Jing Yi believed there would no longer be any surprises; everything must move towards distortion.

So, for the first time, he unexpectedly said:

"Regarding your main body, whether she is Bai Wu’s mother, I do not know. But what kind of existence she is, that I can tell you."
