Reversal of the situation
The children stood in a neat row, with different body shapes, most of them were ten years old, their originally bright eyes had lost their color, and one boy stood out uniquely, his skin had been replaced, he hummed and laughed, "You are Jiang Ziyao."
Jiang Ziyao quickly pulled Wang Youyou behind him, and Huo Chi stretched out his arms to protect the two of them tightly.
The boy's lips were pursed into a curved arc, and his childish voice hid a frivolous tone line: "Finally I meet you, Jiang Ziyao, I think about you day and night, just want to talk to you, what do you think I will do next?"
When the boy said this, Huo De kicked Liu Xin in the abdomen and watched her curled up body hit the edge of the roof wall.
"Give my regards to the people around you. Although we didn't get along very well in the Lost Land, he is very weak now."
Huo Chi's back was in Jiang Ziyao's field of vision. As soon as the boy finished speaking, his body straightened like a piece of wood. He twisted his feet to face Jiang Ziyao, facing each other, as if there was a river of separation between them.
The flames outside the door died down instantly, and the light dimmed as well.
Jiang Ziyao had to step back. Huo Chi's mouth twitched and he clenched his teeth. Soon his face turned red. His body was on the verge of being out of control and the muscles of his limbs were as tense as a fully curved bow.
The words that came out of Huo Chi's teeth were unclear. He turned his eyes hard in one direction, which was the gate. Jiang Ziyao naturally understood what he meant. Huo Chi was telling him to take Wang Youyou and leave quickly.
Jiang Ziyao shook his head gently at him, and Huo Chi felt helpless and annoyed.

【Level: High level. 】
The lost and recovered words appeared, flashing rapidly in front of Jiang Ziyao, compressing his nerves and blurring his vision. The words flickered like an electric short circuit, and finally froze. It disappeared in a very short time, and the pain in his brain was relieved.
With his high-level ability of mind control, Jiang Ziyao couldn't even estimate this man's exact location, and he already held the lives of the vast majority of people in his hands.
Huo Chi's legs felt like they were filled with lead. He slammed his right knee into the ground and supported himself with his hands, resisting the commands that were trying to get into his head.
"Very tenacious, which is good. It's good to be able to withstand the torment. I don't like people who beg for mercy too quickly."
The boy shrugged and commented on Huo Chi.
Veins bulged on Huo Chi's forehead, his face turned red, and he collapsed to the ground while struggling.
"Huo Chi!" Jiang Ziyao wanted to get closer.
"Don't come over here!" Huo Chi immediately yelled at the top of his voice.
"Don't—come near me."
Hood gave the order to attack in his brain, and he would never allow this to happen.
Jiang Ziyao stopped and glared at the boy. He knew that the boy could see him. "Are you from the Saint Society?!"
The boy chuckled. He was not sure before Jiang Ziyao asked this question, but the child's expression clearly did not deny it. So he understood where his opponent came from.
Jiang Ziyao quickly calmed down: "You are Huo De."
The boy smiled happily, "You know my name. You are really special." His smile soon stopped and he licked his lips, "But you still disappoint me."
The other party's voice was obviously less interested. "I was looking forward to you. After all, no one in this world can rewrite my deduction. Utopia should have been in my pocket. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to wait until today, and I wouldn't have to cooperate with that unpredictable monster."
"Jiang Ziyao, you always appear where you shouldn't be. Why?" The boy raised his eyebrows and turned his hands comfortably. "An actor who doesn't respect the script is not a good actor. According to the development of the story, you should jump out and be a hero, a savior, not that electric shock kid. This place should be a ruin."
The boy smiled and said, "So you've confused me a little bit. I just want to know one thing. Can you predict what I will do next?"
Jiang Ziyao swallowed his breath. He knew that only bad things were waiting for him next. Hood had a handful of hostages in his hands, and he had no bargaining chips to use.
"Who do you think will die next? A woman who doesn't know her place, or a group of unevolved monkeys? Or your failed heartwarming knight? I don't need to do it myself, they can understand themselves."
"What do you want!" Jiang Ziyao said angrily.
The boy laughed twice.
"Don't be in a hurry." He raised his finger and shushed her. "Let's play a guessing game. Who do you think I will choose first?"
Jiang Ziyao only showed a look of disgust, and the boy urged with a strange smile, "Hurry up and guess."
"Don't you know the answer?"
Hood had no more patience. Jiang Ziyao looked around. He was in a helpless situation. He frowned and hoped that his brain could work faster to count whether he had missed any details. Time urged him to come up with a solution, but the facts clearly told him that this was a losing game.
"What a shame, it's time."
The boy had no intention of wasting time with him. He shook his head helplessly: "You really disappoint me."
"But I can generously give you a favor. I will announce an answer for you. I will start with the woman in front of me. After I deal with them, I will come to you. It will be more sincere if we meet face to face. I plan to give you a big gift in return as a token of your previous opposition to me."
The next moment, the children behind the boy suddenly swarmed over. They surrounded Jiang Ziyao, grabbed his clothes with one hand and ruthlessly strangled his neck with the other.
Being stared at by those lifeless eyes, Jiang Ziyao felt dizzy. He hurriedly protected Wang Youyou under himself. At least the children did not attack him directly, so he did not get to the point of hurting them.
"I can't get into your mind, but I know your weaknesses. You won't abandon so many lives and leave, right? Dear savior."
The boy clapped his hands. "Okay, time to get started."
Half of Liu Xin's body was hanging in the air, her waist was stuck in the crevice, and her lower body was pressed against the stone wall, unable to move. Hood had already controlled her body, and on the other side, Mo Yu had lost his mind like her. He picked up the gun, and as a shadow pressed down, he pointed the sharp end at her heart.
Hodder admired and said, "I just love watching teams kill each other."
Liu Xin suddenly raised her head and laughed, and cursed at him in a relaxed state: "Fuck your uncle! Fuck your ancestors! Even if I die, I will pierce your lungs!"
Bang——!
She raised her right hand and slapped herself fiercely. The corner of Liu Xin's mouth swelled up. She said, "You son of a bitch, you will go to hell. I will peel your skin off and chop off your dick with my own hands!"
"Very good, very good." Huo De smiled faintly, "I'll wait."
Liu Xin yelled and cursed loudly at first, but when she looked into Mo Yu's eyes, she fell silent. Her own reflection was reflected in those inky eyes.
Mo Yu's tears fell first. Even though she was just a puppet now, the sadness in her eyes had washed across her cheeks. Her spear was against Liu Xin's heart, piercing slightly deeper, and her short hair swept across her neck and shoulders.
Liu Xin's tears still fell, the sadness that burst out made her eyes sore. She knew that she should not show weakness at this time. She was not afraid of the spear that was about to pierce her to death. She was not afraid of death, but Liu Xin knew that if she died, Huo De would not stop torturing Mo Yu, he would definitely make her wake up.
Liu Xin knew this feeling clearly. Su Yunyun died in her hands. That was the pain of exchanging one's life for another's. She could not face death calmly now.
Mo Yu will remember how her weapon was thrust into her teammates' bodies. She will see the blood on her hands. She will see the corpses downstairs, Su Yunyun's and her own. She will endure more pain in the torture.
"No, no - this shouldn't be the case!" Liu Xin soon stood on the edge of the cliff of collapse.
Mo Yu pulled out the spear that was about to sink into her body. Liu Xin even had a moment of hope that she would be sober, but this was just a trick played by Huo De.
Liu Xin never expected that when she was about to be pierced, Mo Yu's spear turned and aimed at her chin.
"Surprise." Hord teased mercilessly, and clapped his hands: "You can live a little longer."
"No! The first person you should kill should be me!"
Liu Xin screamed and gasped for air. Her body was shaking and convulsing with fear. She was sweating profusely and forgot to breathe.
Jiang Ziyao watched the movement in the distance nervously, and he noticed that no one fell from the wall anymore.
"Stop..." He suddenly heard Wang Youyou's serious voice under him.
"You have to stop..."
Wang Youyou raised her head, pursed her lips, and her bright eyes flashed with cold white light, "Leave my home."
"Leave my friend alone."
The children who were blocking Jiang Ziyao suddenly turned around and made a gap. Not long after, they all fell down. He immediately bent down to check their pulse. They were just unconscious but still alive.
"Youyou?"
Jiang Ziyao looked at Wang Youyou in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Wang Youyou said calmly as she walked out of the door holding her rabbit doll. She was only as tall as Jiang Ziyao's knees, but she stared at him firmly: "This is my home."
“Please get out!”
The world in front of Huo Chi's eyes was spinning, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground exhausted, with his limbs facing the sky and gasping for breath.
"It's me."
"I feel like I'm free."
Jiang Ziyao immediately helped him up. Huo Chi's hair was wet with cold sweat. He covered his hand and held his heartbeat. The two looked at each other and quickly followed Wang Youyou.
In just a few minutes, when they looked up and looked around again, the situation outside had undergone an incredible reversal.
Not only the controlled people, but also the aliens and zombies fell silent in an instant. They stopped attacking and slowly turned around, heading towards the outside of the base...
With a sweep of the spear, Mo Yu regained consciousness. Holding the gun in her right hand and Liu Xin in her left hand, she flipped over the broken wall and jumped down the building.
"You and my sister are friends. You can't lie to her or bully her." Wang Youyou held his hand on that birthday night. He heard the childish yet firm voice in his heart. In front of her, he couldn't hide any secrets, which made him feel a little guilty.
Wang Youyou patted the back of his hand again: "But you didn't do anything bad, you are a good person, so I forgive you."
Jiang Ziyao smiled faintly.
Wang Youyou followed Wang Yu closely and said, "I don't want to make my sister sad. I want to grow up quickly and become the same person as my sister."
Jiang Ziyao said: "Your sister is an amazing person."
Wang Youyou was very happy. She snorted proudly: "So I will work hard. I also want to protect my sister. I can't always let her suffer alone. My sister is very tired. I know."
"Youyou." Wang Yu called her.
Wang Youyou immediately jumped off the chair and rushed over to her sister's arms.
Wang Yu smiled and touched her face: "Are you happy today?"
Wang Youyou nodded.
Wang Youyou lay on Wang Yu's shoulder and quietly looked back at Jiang Ziyao. Her face was as delicate as jade instead of being covered in blood and dust, like a broken rag doll.
Wang Youyou stood on the empty sand, the monster was controlled by her, and Jiang Ziyao noticed her trembling hands.
Jiang Ziyao's muscles were twisting uncontrollably and a buzzing sound passed through his brain.
No--!
He heard the voice in his heart shouting. Jiang Ziyao hurriedly caught Wang Youyou's falling body. Her face was pale and she did not open her eyes again.
