Abyssal Distortion Files

Near dusk, in front of a certain private high school in Jianghai, Chen Ye's main body stood leaning against the railing, appearing to be asleep.

"Master... it's time."

"Your sister is out of school."

Chen Ye opened his eyes and saw students leaving the school gate in twos and threes, but Chen Yao was not among them.

Seeing this, Chen Ye's consciousness plunged directly into the collective consciousness, only to find that these guys were all surrounding a student.

"No, no... I think the subsequent development should be like this!"

"Lu Yaozong must become a Mystic!"

"I don't think that's appropriate!"

"You need to know that the prerequisite for him to become a Mystic is to convince the main body!"

"Ahem, the main body is here."

The originally noisy inner meeting suddenly went silent, and a cold glint appeared in Chen Ye's eyes, "What... are you doing?"

"We... we are..."

"This..."

"Main body, let me explain..."

"Where's Yao Yao?"

Faced with Chen Ye's questioning, all the clones fell silent.

They were all surrounding Lu Yaozong, but no one cared about Chen Yao.

"If I remember correctly, the task I gave you was to protect Yao Yao's safety. Are you guys having a little too much fun?"

"That's right, Master!"

"These guys are lawless!"

"They can even put aside something as important as your sister. See, I told you..."

"You shut up first."

"Everyone, do you know... what I'm thinking right now?"

"You inherited most of my memories and personality, including my abilities, but you are ultimately not me, because I have never allowed you to become the complete me."

"You seem to value Yao Yao as much as I do, but in reality, it's different. As derivatives, you all know that you are not Chen Ye."

"All your emotions towards Chen Yao originate from my memories."

"So when I told you what pleasure is, you naturally abandoned Yao Yao and turned to a new goal."

"This is not your fault, because Yao Yao can only be mine."

"But what I didn't expect was that you could reach such a state of forgetfulness, even forgetting the task I gave you."

"It seems necessary to make you recognize your identities."

After saying that, Chen Ye snapped his fingers in his mind. In an instant, many clones in the school began to collectively explode into blood mist!

Those blood mists gradually condensed into new bodies, which were the students and teachers who had been devoured and replaced by Chen Ye's clones.

Of course, they were not resurrected.

Chen Ye also did not have the ability to bring people back to life. He simply retained those people's original memories and personalities and reshaped their bodies for them.

In essence, they were still Chen Ye's clones, but they had no abilities and would not realize that they were clones.

It's like...

Chen Ye created a clone, but completely used someone else's memory, personality, and appearance, achieving the effect of rebirth.

But this kind of rebirth was destined to be false. As long as Chen Ye wanted to change it, they would immediately be given abilities and memories.

Before that, they would really be like ordinary people, continuing their original pace of life and operating normally.

In this catastrophe, only seven clones in the school survived.

These seven clones lurked in the dark, never possessing or replacing anyone.

"M-Main body is angry?"

"We know we were wrong!"

"We got carried away and forgot that you are the main body. We won't dare to do it again!"

It wasn't just the seven surviving clones who were begging for mercy, but also other clones who weren't in the school. They were all afraid of being affected.

But this time, Chen Ye was obviously determined to carry out an internal rectification.

"Before, I always thought that if the clones could inherit most of my abilities and memories, they would be able to better complete my tasks."

"It wasn't until later that I realized that completely identical personalities and memories didn't mean that you could satisfy me."

"Sometimes, emotionless machines are more useful, so I'll enjoy the emotion of pleasure alone."

After saying that, Chen Ye snapped his fingers again, and in an instant, a large number of clones were destroyed one after another.

But they weren't completely dead, but rather reset.

In order to avoid causing too much social unrest, Chen Ye didn't let them explode into blood mist and reorganize, but directly changed them.

If they had devoured someone, they would directly become that person, becoming completely unconscious mortal clones.

If they hadn't replaced anyone, they would simply have their memories and abilities wiped, turning them into low-level members of the Truth Church.

In other words, Chen Ye implanted a false memory in them.

They were low-level members of the Truth Church, obeying the Prophet's orders, unable to connect to the collective consciousness, and unaware that they were clones.

In the end, Chen Ye left a total of twenty-eight clones unreset, but deprived them of some of their memories and abilities.

Their consciousness was still connected to Chen Ye's consciousness, still in the collective consciousness.

In simple terms, this clone reshuffle was divided into three stages.

One: Unconscious stratum.

They replaced those people in society and still firmly believed that they were that person, without abilities or other memories.

Two: Church member stratum.

They became ordinary people without abilities, while losing their memories and abilities, but were implanted with false memories, as if they were fanatical believers loyal to Chen Ye and the Church.

Three: Original clone stratum.

Twenty-eight clones remained the same, but their abilities and memories were reduced to a certain extent, while still being able to join the collective consciousness, directly obeying Chen Ye's dispatch.

……

"Master is wise!"

"Is it useful to discuss with them nicely?"

"It's not useful!"

"You have to let them know who is the boss and who is the second-in-command in this family!"

After this purge, it can be predicted that the original chaos between clones will be greatly improved.

At the very least, someone will definitely complete the grassroots tasks assigned by Chen Ye.

And for some special situations, the twenty-eight people who were left can also deal with them.

In addition, they can also create some fun for Chen Ye.

A few idea kings are enough. If there are too many, it will become like before.

"Now, you will have new names."

"Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, Basket, the seven of you, continue to stay in the school and can command the grassroots clones."

"Protect Yao Yao's safety."

"As for the boy named Lu Yaozong, he is now mine."

"Legs, Bonds, Stomach, Hairy Head, Net, Turtle Beak, Three Stars, the seven of you don't need to continue following Yang Miao. I'll take him over too."

The remaining twenty-eight clones weakly asked, "M-Master, no, Boss, are you taking both of them away?"

"Then we..."

"You just need to watch obediently, honestly be a qualified audience, and listen to my orders at the necessary moment to fuel the flames. That is your duty."

"Other than that, if I don't let you move, none of you are allowed to move."
