The origin of the C Organization is unknown, its purpose is unknown, its power is unknown, and its leadership is unknown. In fact, for all the countries in the world, the C Organization simply does not exist.

However, only the rebel organization that Henry Clark belongs to knows that the C Organization does exist, and it is an unimaginably powerful and enormous organization. In fact, if it wished, it could destroy humanity in ten minutes... According to the information gathered by the rebel organization, the C Organization can control ninety-eight percent of the world's nuclear warheads. That alone is enough to wipe out all of humanity, not to mention that the C Organization also possesses other terrifying weapons, extremely elite bio-soldiers, and things that only exist in movies... the T-virus and its evolved variants.

Moreover, within the entire rebel organization, only Henry Clark and another founder know one thing: the C Organization... is actually just a facade for an even more terrifying organization, one that has surpassed the limits of human imagination. Its name is... the X Organization!

If the X Organization were to capture him and once again use him as a test subject, it would be possible for them to throw him into a virtual reality. The technology of the X Organization can no longer be described or imagined with current human science. If there is any place among all human forces that could possibly create a virtual reality, Henry Clark can only think of this one... the X Organization, the force he has wanted to destroy his entire life!

(So the question is simple: to verify whether I am in a virtual reality. If I really am in a virtual reality... brain death, immediate brain death, that way I won't reveal everyone's whereabouts or existence...)

This was the decision Henry Clark made in his heart. He was no longer panicked, but quietly looked around. While the others were discussing something, he quietly turned and walked toward a small alley not far from the street. Now he had to find a quiet place to hypnotize himself, to determine whether this was a virtual reality.

Ordinary people might find it very difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality, especially after the brain has already sent out "real" signals. But he is not an ordinary person; he has a way to tell illusion from reality...

Five years ago, when the rebel organization was fighting for a batch of ancient relics secretly excavated by the C Organization, Henry Clark personally led the raid, bringing only the most elite members. It was a successful yet failed ambush... No one leaked any secrets, and the ambush itself was very successful, but in the end, only Henry Clark and three members of his personal guard survived; the other forty-six all died. This was almost the strongest elite unit of the rebel organization, and yet it was completely wiped out in that ambush. The reason was simple: among the C Organization's members, there was a strange human girl who could control others' minds, or make them hallucinate, or even directly attack their consciousness. Eight elite members died at the hands of this girl alone, and the rest died due to the cooperation between the girl and the C Organization's soldiers. Of course, the girl was also killed by a member's long-range sniper shot, but immediately after, that member's entire head exploded...

Since then, the rebel organization began to focus on training in mental strength, thought, and consciousness. Although the rebel organization never found anyone with the same ability to manipulate minds and consciousness as that girl, through the most scientific training, all members above the elite level could now block or resist similar mental manipulation. And being able to distinguish reality from illusion, completely immune to the brain's deceptive signals, was just a minor function of this training... provided one could hypnotize oneself first.

A few minutes later, Henry Clark entered a residential house by the street, climbing in through a back alley window. There was not a single person in this house, which was exactly the quiet place Henry Clark needed most. After entering, Henry Clark immediately found the bathroom, and stood inside, looking at himself in the mirror...

(If this really is a virtual reality... then let me die, just die. My body will probably be used for some terrible experiment again, huh... You, or you all, just how far do you want to toy with the human mind!?)

Henry Clark gave a slight bitter smile, then cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind, focusing entirely on the reflection in the mirror. Eye to eye, he silently counted numbers in his mind, from one to nine, slowing down as he went. Gradually, his eyes became completely unfocused, as if he had lost all awareness. But in the next second, Henry Clark suddenly raised his hand and slowly reached toward the center of his forehead, moving slower and slower, until finally... he touched the center of his brow. That sensation, that warmth...

"...Should I laugh? Should I laugh out loud? I actually didn't fall into the hands of the X Organization, but this place actually isn't a virtual reality... This place is actually, damn it, really..."

"The End of the World!"
