Chapter 177 176. The War
Since Shane could already control minds, he didn't linger there any longer. He quickly caught a cab and started controlling the man's mind to take him to the government office close by. He wanted to get more information about it.
On his way, he managed to practice and roughly figure out this spell. One limitation was that he could only cast the spell on one person at a time. He couldn't do it with multiple figures. Second, he could only control the minds for a certain period. For instance, once he used the spell and inserted a thought in someone's head, he could stay there for a few seconds more before the spell stopped working.himself
Lastly, he wouldn't be able to ascertain that the target would do exactly what he wanted. As he said earlier, he was more like a ghost whispering into the minds of weak-minded people who couldn't protect themselves. Those who didn't have the ability would immediately do what he wanted. Those with mild power to choose would think twice before doing what he wanted. And those with strong wills could reject his idea that he put in their heads, but it would be extremely difficult.
It was similar to how you were so hungry and watched to eat an ice cream while your throat hurt. So you use all your willpower to reject the idea of eating something cold. But at the same time, you can't help but feel dissatisfied in your heart for not eating the ice cream when you clearly wanted it. At this time, if another thought appeared in your mind that could convince you to eat the ice cream, you wouldn't hesitate to eat the ice cream.
Shane smiled when he figured out everything.
He quickly got off the taxi and walked away without paying even a single penny.
Ah, why didn't he have this ability from the start?
Just as he was about to enter the main gate, he was blocked by two people standing at the door. It was a huge white building with a beautiful garden inside, right in front of the main building. The gate was made of silver-colored iron. It shone brightly, creating a majestic vibe.
Shane smiled and raised his head toward one of the guards. He then turned to look at another.
He controlled their minds as they slowly removed their hands and gestured for Shane to enter with confused expressions on their faces. He quickly entered the door and walked inside in a good mood.
He could indeed do anything he wanted with this ability; it was just that there was a loophole. If he used it on many people at once, they might be able to find out something was wrong. If several people standing close were forced to think according to his desires and do things in a confused manner, they would eventually become suspicious.
So what?
What if they become suspicious?
This world was eventually destroyed by his own hands. Why should he hesitate anymore? He just wanted to be done with this world.
After thinking about this, he massively controlled the minds of people around him without stopping. So that was how he was able to reach the main office of the city mayor without any obstacles. He opened the door and controlled the mind of the person sitting behind the table.
The man sat in a daze as he stared at Shane with a confused expression on his face. Then his expression turned serious as he frowned, looking like he was struggling.
Shane raised his brows. It looked like this person had more willpower.
He started inserting thoughts filled with extreme infatuation.
'Why are you sitting around?'
'Just go ahead and do it!'
'Call the city next to you and attack!'
'It's not about safety anymore. Your entire life is in question!'
'Your pride will suffer! Why the heck are you leaving people who want to kick you back? Isn't that humiliating enough?'
Shane saw that the man's expression continued to darken, but he still didn't make a call. It almost looked like he was on the verge of doing anything that Shane wanted. In the end, Shane glanced at the table, staring at the picture over there.
There was a beautiful girl in the arms of a woman standing at the beach. Both of them were laughing and wore simple beach attire with caps on their heads.
Shane initiated his last attack.
'What about your daughter? Will she be proud of you for being too weak to even fight back? They are clearly oppressing you. Are you willing to let your daughter mock you in public?'
After that, the man didn't hesitate anymore. He immediately called someone.
As soon as the other person picked up the call, he fired up. "I don't agree to your arrangement! I want you to rewrite the agreement!... What? You don't? Then get ready for the attack!"
By this time, Shane had already started heading out inconspicuously. He would immediately remove his traces from the cameras to hide himself and watch the show.
Actually, what he did today wasn't just a small thing. He had researched the political aspects of this world before deciding on what he was doing.
It was just a simple matter. The mayor wasn't just the mayor of this city; the entire country ruled under his shoulders. The country he was living in had the highest GDP ever. So if this country were to initiate an attack against other small countries, the entire world would suffer.
That was why he did what he did today. Just a small thing could help him bring down the entire world without him wanting to do anything.
It was just that he knew it wasn't enough. There would still be survivors
But Shane wasn't worried about it. He could use other weapons to completely destroy the world, killing all survivors in one shot.
At this time, he walked over to the alley where he had hidden Hope.
He found her quickly and took her back toward the forest area.
Since the world was going to end up in a chaotic state, it wasn't good for him and this unconscious girl to stay here any longer.
While setting up the program, he also set up the time when they could leave. It was right after the world was destroyed. So he didn't have to kill himself anymore and get a headache from killing the girl.
Even though Hope was a headache to deal with, he didn't want to kill her.
Heh. He had become coldhearted recently. He wouldn't even blink before thinking about killing someone.
He wasn't always like this. He had been a completely normal student, living a good life under the care of his parents. He even protected his sister and only focused on his grades. Sometimes, he would even play basketball, wanting to impress the girls around him.
It could be said that he was a famous figure in his college. Girls would squeal at his glance, and people would run after him for a picture.
How did he end up turning so cold and villainous? Would he ever become a normal person?
He sighed and continued on his way. Soon enough, he reached a big tree and climbed on top of it. He had also ended up collecting as many food items as he could. Even though he had done everything he could, it would still take a few days for his idea to work.
After this, he rested in the forest while also keeping an eye on the situation. Hope still didn't wake up. So he could only s*ck it up and clean her body every day. But damn, why did her body have to be so alluring?
His body would react almost every day while bathing her in the river. He felt like giving up, but he still ended up bathing her every day.
At the end of a week, he almost went crazy because of his desirous body. If it weren't for his self-control and the Hope situation, he would have done the deed already.
This girl was such a headache! How could she stay unconscious for such a long time? Didn't she realize that he was a man, after all?
He resentfully glared at her, but he couldn't continue to glare after seeing her naked body. He sighed and dragged her to the shore, wiping her up before dressing her body into a gown he stole from a nearby shop.
As for the situation outside, it was indeed chaotic. A few days after that phone call, war broke out between two countries on a large scale just because of a small disagreement. The situation got even worse when other countries started taking sides, almost creating huge havoc. Several people started creating hidden chambers underground to hide when the war was going on.
As he placed Hope on the tree, he felt the entire ground tremble as dust rose in the air. He looked up to see something red flashing across the sky. Ah, a nuclear bomb.
He needed to hide in that case. He quickly changed the location and pulled hope down on his back, walking in another direction.
