Reversing the 'end' and 'origin' of this world will only lead us into trouble; the controllers of this closed system will use any means necessary to expel us.
Destroying a single fragment of information is meaningless, so the only thing left is to expel it.
Even without the emphasis from the evil god who was also brought to the "Origin" of the Reversal World, Lin Yi was already able to sense this malicious targeting through his own "panel".

Including himself and all the power systems he obtained from the "Main God Space," almost all the power Lin Yi could use was restricted by the "fragments" that had been taken back from him to interfere with this world. This was something that Lin Yi was destined to do when he "reversed."
If the world of Scarlet Ammo at its end was invaded by an external god, like a terminally ill cancer patient who has lost all perception of the outside world, then the world of Scarlet Ammo at its beginning is a healthy person with a sound body and enough "immunity" to eliminate and block the internal "virus".
The control from the "God" has brought this "immunity" to its extreme. Less than half an hour has passed since the reversal was completed. All the power systems that Lin Yi had used in the closed system have been banned without exception. (Part 3) O9 Ball Machine V8. Of course, it is not that it cannot be used forcibly, but the price of doing so is being forcibly expelled from this world.
As the entity that created the rules of this world, "Fragment" obviously does not want to violate the rules and forcibly expel Lin Yi and the Outer God. Doing so would likely expose its existence to the Transmigrator Alliance. At that time, whether it likes it or not, it will have to stand on the opposite side of the Transmigrator Alliance—not every transmigrator likes the "Resurrection God Cult".
However, opposing stances would consume a lot of the information it could have obtained, which is undoubtedly inconsistent with the original intention of "Fragment". In addition, what was invaded was only an information body and an avatar, and the invaded star was just a false world that could be created at will. Therefore, "Fragment" would not forcibly expose its existence to the Transmigrator Alliance until the last moment.
Thus, this reversed world is now in a bizarre situation.
One side possesses the greatest power to interfere in this world, and is also the "chief god" of the creator. Its goal is to expel the information body and the incarnation of the outer god from this world in a "reasonable" way without revealing its own existence, or even better, remove them directly from the closed system.
One side is an evil god who once controlled and dominated this world. It faces a situation similar to Lin Yi's: all external interference is blocked. It either has to obediently follow the "rules" or destroy everything at once at the cost of being expelled.
Then there's Lin Yi, who personally reversed the positions of the two sides... To be honest, whether the Outer God dominates this world or the "Fragment" regains control of it, it makes no difference to Lin Yi. The former forbids him from entering, and the latter tries every means to make him leave. The reason for choosing "reversal" is simply because the former is more unreasonable.
A group of Outer Gods characterized by chaos and madness could not possibly act with the mindset of maximizing efficiency as constantly as the "Fragments." If they were to truly dominate the world, it wouldn't be impossible for them to forcibly banish Lin Yi at the cost of destruction. And now...
Lin Yi stopped and looked at the two figures approaching from the street in the distance, a smile appearing in his eyes.
"This game is not over yet."
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 656 Aria the Scarlet Ammo (2)
Aria accompanied Kinji Toyama to the location of the mission objective.
"The main mission of this operation is to deport two criminals who illegally entered the country... Come to think of it, shouldn't this kind of mission be the Border Agency's responsibility?"
"Perhaps two criminals are more dangerous?"
Kinji Toyama, who had answered casually, flipped to the client's page and exclaimed, "The Main God? What's that?"
Aria, who was following behind, paused, as if something had touched her, but then vanished without a trace, which could only be attributed to her own sensitivity.
“Sometimes this happens, such as when the client cannot use their real name. As armed detectives, we have an obligation to keep the client’s secret.”
Having drawn two pistols from her thighs, Aria arrived at the abandoned factory, which was designated as a potential location for the mission target. She resumed the caution befitting an S-rank armed detective: "I'll be on top, you'll be on the bottom. Notify me immediately if you encounter any danger."
"Hey? Wait, do you really intend to just rush in like that?"
Faced with Kinji Toyama's bewildered question, Aria replied impatiently, "Otherwise what?"
Ling*, "Dream Bar 3 Ling Zhouling Qi Jiu Wu Ba" "Actually... that..."
Seeing her partner's evasive gaze, Aria's female intuition gave her a bad feeling, but the next moment a gentle voice came.
"Let me explain next. It's been a long time, Miss Aria."
"Starry Snow—"
Upon seeing that familiar face, the girl's first reaction was not the anger the two had imagined, but extreme vigilance. She even unconsciously pointed her weapon at Xingjia Baixue—it should be noted that pointing a weapon at innocent ordinary people was something that was almost unimaginable for her in the past.
The next moment, Aria realized her own abnormality and quickly turned the gun around, but the doubt that had disappeared in her heart resurfaced: What exactly happened to her?
The brief incident did not significantly affect Hoshiga Shirayuki and Toyama Kinji's actions; perhaps in their minds, it was merely an act of anger by Aria in a fit of emotion.
The simple explanation is that Hoshiga Shirayuki happened to be off work today, and when she encountered Toyama Kinji, who was facing a shortage of manpower while on a mission, she readily offered to help, and then it naturally turned into this...
"Ahem, since it's a search mission, the more people the better, so I've decided to have Bai Xue join this mission."
Aria glared at the two of them fiercely. At this point, she couldn't just let Hoshiga Shirayuki leave. With considerable emotion, she could only command, "Mission begins!"
above.
"It seems you don't intend to give up as you said you would."
The voice coming from the other side of the thought link had a hint of schadenfreude.
[Having the greatest advantage before the reversal becomes the greatest disadvantage afterward. In this situation, if one doesn't resort to some off-field tactics, then one is no longer an evil god but a mad god.]
"Like a Deep Diver?"
Despite its appearance, Dagon is actually a Great Old One, albeit a very low-ranking one.
The tone changed.
[Unless you intend to be eliminated, we cannot use 'knowledge' or 'power' here. And while the little guys below are wielding only fleeting matches, they can easily burn you, who is merely 'paper.' In this situation, what are you planning to do?]
Accompanied by the whispers of the evil god, once the three below separated, Xingjia Baixue seemed to have determined her path and quickly approached Lin Yi.
This was an expected phenomenon.
Before the reversal, infected by Nyarlathotep's chaos, Xingjia Baixue's mental infection level was 99%, with 1% of her sanity remaining. After the reversal, it was naturally a reversal of the same data. In other words, in addition to 99% sanity, she still had 1% madness remaining.
For an ordinary Outer God, a 1% infection rate might be ineffective, since even humans can have around 20% of their thoughts going crazy in their daily lives.
However, in the hands of Nyarlathotep, one of the three pillar gods, this 1% infection rate played its greatest role.
Creating "coincidences".
Because of a "coincidence," Hoshiga Shirayuki had the right idea at the right time, met the right person, and followed her heart to ask for help—she already had a great liking for Toyama Kinji.
Later, upon arriving here, she was "coincidentally" drawn to a faint sound and looked up, seeing the outline of a human figure. In order to search for her target, she would inevitably move closer to this location…
In reality, it is not very feasible to create this series of coincidences with only a 1% infection rate. The worst-case scenario can only be attributed to "external factors."
Your luck isn't very good.
The hurried footsteps below were approaching a certain limit, and it would be strange if they appeared in front of Lin Yi in the next second. With all his abilities sealed, unless Lin Yi planned to give up the fourth signpost and be eliminated, he could only use this body, which was even worse than that of an ordinary person, to fight against a combat profession that was at least at the level of an S-class armed detective.
For a time, the situation seemed to have reached its worst point.
"Luck...maybe that was already exhausted from the very beginning."
He turned sideways and stood behind the wall that served as cover: "Therefore, I never expect luck from myself."
"Bang--------"
A heavy gunshot rang out, and Xingjia Baixue, who was approaching, suddenly retreated. The next moment, a smoking crater appeared in her path. One can imagine the horrific scene that would have occurred if she hadn't retreated.
The priestess looked in the direction from which the gunshot came with suspicion and uncertainty. The straight-line distance of more than 800 meters between the two factories made her quickly abandon the plan to pursue. Continuing to advance and risk being targeted by a powerful sniper was also not in line with her expectations. After all, he was just a criminal who had entered the country illegally, not some murderer who had killed many people.
After a moment's hesitation, the effects of the 1% mental infection were immediately calmed by reason, and the priestess opened the communication: "Target spotted by number 3, watch out for snipers."
----------segmentation----------
Eight hundred meters away, on the factory roof.
The emotionless, expressionless girl could no longer maintain her composure as a sniper. Less than five seconds ago, she suddenly turned the gun she was aiming at the "criminal" towards the shrine maiden who was rapidly approaching the "criminal," and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The entire attack was not her conscious action, but rather the result of her own hands, and was even more efficient than if she had controlled it herself. At least based on Reki's understanding of her own abilities, sniping an object moving with an irregular trajectory and speed from such a distance would take at least several minutes to read and predict its movements, yet the attack just now lasted less than a second from start to finish.
It's like the body is controlling the mind, not the mind.
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 657 Aria the Scarlet Ammo (3)
Warning! Incompatible system detected!
Number HX-1784GF124Z, related interference has been eliminated.
"Hunger" (a mutant strain of the gluttony gene)
Note: Use prohibited.
Looking at the interface that he could see, Lin Yi remained noncommittal.
The pieces that were placed have served their purpose when needed, which is enough. You can't expect your opponent to be foolish enough to ignore their existence and let them continue to cause trouble. Being able to do what you're supposed to do is already an achievement. Expecting more will only lead to more disappointment.
Because it was used in One-Punch Man, the ability of "Famine" is also prohibited in this world. However, as a sub-genre of "Famine"—that is, "Hunger"—Lin Yi has never actively used its effects, and naturally, it has not been directly blocked by the "Fragment" for registering related data. That is why it was able to work just now.
Because of the cause of "famine", Lin Yin was able to control the body of the object being eroded by "hunger" to a certain extent, ignoring the subject's will. However, this ability was discovered and blocked by the "fragment" immediately after it was used. In other words, the other piece that was also placed in advance was rendered useless.
However, that's enough.
Because of the presence of the "sniper," Xingjia Baixue's actions were forcibly halted. Leiji, who was also commissioned by the "God" in the distance, dared not point her gun at him due to the strange phenomenon in her body earlier. As a result, Lin Yi, the "criminal," was clearly within the two's line of sight, yet he still "swaggered" out of the cover and left.
Left with no other choice, Xingjia Baixue could only pass the information to the two people searching below, hoping they could catch Lin Yi before he "escaped".
Contrary to what Xingjia Baixue had imagined, Lin Yi not only had no intention of escaping, but even went straight to the two armed detectives.
"Stop!"
The moment he saw the "criminal," Kinji Toyama inexplicably became tense, so much so that instead of rushing forward to subdue the person, he raised his gun and shouted, "If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"
Lin Yi glanced at the fact that this character, who was "Toyama-kun" not long ago, had a mental infection rate of 5%, and then he realized.
Unlike Xingjia Baixue, whose mental infection rate reached 99%, "Yuanshan Jun" had a mental infection rate close to 95% of the blind at the time of his death. After the reversal, there was naturally still a 5% residue. This is why Lin Yi chose this deserted factory area as the area of action instead of staying in the city: there were a large number of infected survivors there. If Nyarlathotep found an opportunity to "incite" a riot, Lin Yi really wouldn't have any way to deal with it in his current state.
However, at present, a 5% infection rate is probably the highest level that Nyarlathotep can influence. The rest either reverse from 100% to 0% (Aria), or they have already left this world at that time (Reki). Ordinary native "fragments" will not allow them to enter this area unless they are crazy and want to bring about the "Outer God Apocalypse" again.
In an instant, a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind, but on the surface, he smiled at Kinji Toyama, whose emotions were inexplicably tense due to the infection: "You seem to remember me?"
"I...Reimu I Erliu San-Zui Ling Qi~Si⑧..."
A jumble of memories prevented Kinji Toyama from making a judgment immediately; he only vaguely recalled fragments: chaos, gloom, cold flames, and a gigantic maw that devoured everything—
"No! I don't know you!"
Perhaps it had the opposite effect, or perhaps it was the interference of the "fragments" again, but Lin Yi's attempt to use the 5% infection rate left by Nyarlathotep to awaken Kinji Toyama's "past" failed.
He shook his head and turned his gaze to another increasingly hesitant girl present.
Should I say "It's been a long time"?
----------segmentation----------
Since her birth, Kanzaki H. Aria has had a life that can hardly be described as wonderful.
Hailing from England and inheriting the surname "Sherlock Holmes," she had to put in a lot of effort from a young age to live up to it. While others spent their childhood in laughter, she grew up under pressure.
This situation didn't disappear as she grew older; instead, she faced criticism for lacking the deductive abilities expected of someone with the surname "Sherlock Holmes." But all of that was in the past. As her efforts in another area yielded results, she met the person she secretly admired, and together they moved towards a common goal. She was certain that everything would change...
She will find happiness; this young woman is absolutely certain of it if she continues down this path.
However, what if another choice, another path, appeared on the road to happiness?
When I saw those eyes, many blurry, hazy, things I tried to forget, and things I tried hard to remember—all surfaced in my mind, as if I could retrieve them simply by reaching out, but…
"Aria—"
Kinji Toyama didn't know what was going on, but the impulse and instinct from his body made him grab the hand of the girl next to him who looked confused.
"This guy's suspicious, let's get out of here!"
Kinji Toyama didn't know what the problem was, but his "intuition" led him to make this decision. At the same time, the remaining 5% of mental infection made him subconsciously glance at the weapon in his hand.
—Perhaps killing him directly is one way to solve the problem?
The call from her loved one restored the girl's sense of the outside world. Looking at the back of the figure blocking her way, she seemed to want to say something, but her chaotic thoughts prevented her from thinking calmly. She could only let Kinji Toyama pull her away.
Lin Yi remained silent as he watched the two leave, while the Outer God, connected to his spirit, began to mock him.
Isn't that what makes humans so interesting? They always manage to surprise you when you think you have everything under control, giving you unexpected delights.
"I do not deny the possibilities of humanity."
