Henry Clark immediately burst out laughing. He shook his head slightly and said, “That’s why I really hate situations where the intel is unclear. Information, information—it's the most important thing in everything... In the end, it still comes down to a fight.” As he finished speaking, Henry Clark’s eyes became unfocused, and he bent forward slightly, charging toward Beauty.

“Your biggest mistake was... attacking me while I was hypnotizing you, and giving me time to recover my strength...”

Beauty gave a slight, cold sneer, but when she saw Henry Clark’s eyes, her expression changed dramatically and she cried out in shock, “G-Gene Lock! How could you possibly have activated the Gene Lock?” As she spoke, Beauty quickly retreated, and both her wrists pointed at Henry Clark. In the blink of an eye, a white, milky liquid shot from Beauty’s wrists. The moment it touched the air, it turned into white, thread-like strands, shooting rapidly toward Henry Clark.

But Henry Clark had already been on high alert the moment Beauty raised her hands. This Beauty had previously displayed abilities similar to Spider-Man in the movies, and in those films—whether the old or new versions—Spider-Man could shoot webs from his wrists. Those webs were incredibly tough and sticky, even stronger than steel wire, so he had been prepared for this. As soon as Beauty raised her wrists, he calculated the trajectory in his mind and dodged to the side.

In a flash, the white threads grazed past Henry Clark’s shoulder and back, almost brushing against him. As Beauty retreated and Henry Clark advanced, the distance between them closed to about half a meter. In the next second, Henry Clark threw a fierce punch at Beauty’s abdomen, but just as he was about to hit her, a layer of golden light blocked his fist. With a muffled smack, Henry Clark’s fist was left bloody, while Beauty dodged away unscathed.

Henry Clark didn’t continue his attack. Instead, he looked at his fist in surprise, then glanced at the wary Beauty and asked, “What is that? A shield?”

Beauty cursed under her breath, “You’re not a member of the Reincarnation Team, nor a Guide, so how did you activate the Gene Lock? Damn it, my Holy Light Shield’s durability...”

“Holy Light Shield? Was that what blocked my punch just now?”

Henry Clark touched his injured fist, but he seemed to feel no pain. With a calm expression, he continued walking toward Beauty, speaking as he went: “Reincarnation Team? Gene Lock? Guide? Holy Light Shield? Looks like you’ve been hiding a lot from me... So, now that you’ve seen my strength, even though I don’t know exactly what this Gene Lock you mentioned is, it must be a power you care about. Since I have this power, am I qualified to know the secrets you’re hiding?”

Beauty hesitated, her expression shifting uncertainly. After a long pause, she finally said, “You’re right. You have the Gene Lock. Even if you’re a newcomer, you’re far stronger than most. You do have the right... Think carefully. The memory is in your mind. You should know what it is...”

Beauty’s last sentence was like a key, suddenly unlocking a door in Henry Clark’s memory. He stood there in a daze as a flood of information surged into his mind...

This is a game, and also a challenge. Who created this game or challenge is no longer important—maybe a god, maybe a demon, or perhaps humans from countless years in the future, or even aliens or something even stranger and more mysterious... All of this is beyond imagination or speculation...

All those who have become disheartened in the real world, who have lost the meaning of living—a tiny fraction of them will enter this space through a message and options that appear on their computer. Then... they must struggle to survive in this space!

Everyone who enters this space will be sent into a random horror, disaster, sci-fi, or war movie world... and so on. Each time, the world they enter is a life-and-death trial for the participants, as if they are experiencing a cycle of reincarnation between life and death. Therefore, each world is called a Reincarnation World, and those who participate are called the Reincarnation Team.

“...That’s not all that’s in your mind.” Beauty saw that Henry Clark was standing there in a daze and let out a breath, found a sofa, and sat down, saying, “Every time you complete a Reincarnation World, as long as you survive, you’ll get 1,000 reward points. These reward points are valuable. As long as you survive your first horror movie world, you’ll enter a vast, empty plaza. There’s a glowing sphere there. The veterans before me called it the Main God. From the Main God, you can exchange for countless good things—things you can’t even imagine!”

“For example, your Spider-Man abilities and that golden light?” Henry Clark asked directly.
