Chapter 1

Just before the alarm clock rang, Shen Xie skillfully opened his eyes and turned off the alarm sound with a casual hand.

Sitting up, he lifted the spotless white blanket.

"Ah~ It's Monday again!"

Uttering the complaint that inevitably appeared every week, Shen Xie habitually glanced at the bedside table on his left.

According to past experience, every Monday morning, something would inevitably appear on the bedside table, an item that did not belong in this containment room.

Turning his head, Shen Xie paused, and with his right hand, he rubbed his eyes hard. After a long while, he finally confirmed it and let out a surprised exclamation.

"There's... nothing at all!"

On the bedside table, apart from the half glass of water he had placed there before going to bed last night, there was indeed nothing else.

Wearing a pure white nightgown, Shen Xie got out of bed, put on white slippers, and tried to find any additional items in the all-white room.

But no matter how thoroughly Shen Xie searched, even under the bed, he found no additional items.

"How can there be nothing? Isn't this the rule that the researchers spent 10 years summarizing and confirming?"

Looking around the sealed white room, Shen Xie suddenly felt a headache.

As one of the seven A-level containment facilities in the country, the Lianzhen Containment Base was even built specifically for Shen Xie.

Once Shen Xie showed new changes, it meant that his hard-earned stable life would probably be over.

"Calm down, calm down. The rule can't just change for no reason. There must be something I haven't noticed..."

Regaining his composure and reflecting, Shen Xie suddenly noticed something new in his consciousness—a black walnut?

As Shen Xie focused his mind on the additional black walnut, his consciousness suddenly entered a higher-dimensional void, as if entering a dream.

Although he was dreaming, Shen Xie could still feel his body in reality. This special sensation made him even more interested in the void.

Exploring the void, Shen Xie soon noticed a figure not far away.

"Finally, someone's here, brother... Ah, my eyes~~"

The figure in the distance had just stretched out a hand to greet him when it suddenly clutched its eyes, fell to the ground, and rolled around, convulsing as if it had epilepsy.

Not only was it convulsing, but it also began to mutter strange words, and its body seemed to be deforming.

"Huh?"

Shen Xie was taken aback and then seemed to realize the problem.

A certain power that he almost instinctively emitted was restrained in the outside world, but in this void, his power was finally unleashed. It was like a passive aura that directly drove the figure into madness.

Almost simultaneously with Shen Xie entering the void, outside the white containment room where he was, in the ultimate research laboratory where countless researchers were running around, the top researchers and containment experts of the entire Lianzhen Containment Base were gathered.

The leading man, who looked to be in his early 40s, had a nicotine gum in his mouth. He looked at the sealed white containment room, and a flash of fear crossed his face.

"I say, Dr. Chu... I think He is always a threat!"

"If possible, I suggest we apply to the Foundation headquarters to permanently seal Containment Object 0-01!"

"Continuing to study Him, humans will eventually open Pandora's box!"

...

The words of the nicotine gum man finally drew a response from Chu Yi, the chief researcher of the Lianzhen Containment Base.

"Director Xing Qi, I suggest you undergo a psychological evaluation soon! As the base's chief combatant, your mental state just now was problematic!"

Chu Yi spoke like a robot, his words cold and devoid of any warmth, as if he possessed absolute rationality.

Before Xing Qi could speak, Chu Yi picked up the special tablet in his hand and, using his authority, accessed the hidden data in the database.

"Moreover, Director Xing Qi, you should know that our understanding of containment objects is too limited. To defeat the anomalies known as containment objects, the power of 0-01 is indispensable!"

"To deal with containment objects, the natural sciences that humans possess are far from enough to solve all the problems, and 0-01 can give us more leverage to deal with containment objects!"

"Although He has a human form, we all know that He cannot be human. Fortunately, His current attitude, while not necessarily benevolent towards humans, is at least not malevolent, which is the foundation of our containment!"

"After all... He is the evil deity, the strongest and most significant anomaly that humans have ever faced!"

On Chu Yi's tablet, the data recorded was accessible only to A-level personnel in the Containment Foundation.

**Project Name:** Evil Deity of Catastrophe

**Project Number:** 0-01

**Level:** 0 (Deity Level)

**Introduction:** A non-natural life form with a human-like appearance, even its status as a life form is uncertain. From known observations, this entity mimics human physiological standards and appears as a 20-year-old Asian man of Xia Hua nationality. Appearance—[This section is restricted due to 0-01's contamination ability and is not recorded].

**Containment Facility:** Xia Hua A-level Containment Base Lianzhen, S-level Containment Room

**Corresponding Characteristics:** Divine Contamination [0-01 cannot be seen, heard, or described; violators will inevitably fall into madness]

**Containment Methods:** 0-03 [Containment Object suppresses most of 0-01's corresponding characteristics and extraordinary abilities, but the potential threat of 0-01 cannot be ignored], S-level Containment Room, long-term presence of three A-level containment experts

**Extraordinary Ability 1:** Every Monday (Note 1), when 0-01 wakes up, a new containment object will inevitably (Note 2) be born.

**Extraordinary Ability 2:** Interpret the essence of containment object abilities (Note 3)

**Extraordinary Ability 3:** Immortality (Note 4)

**Negative Characteristics:** Catastrophe [Since the containment of 0-01 began 10 years ago, according to incomplete statistical results, anomalies have increased year by year, and containment object disaster events have tripled compared to 10 years ago. Although direct evidence has not been found to link these events to 0-01, all clues point to 0-01.]

**Note 1:** It is temporarily determined whether the concept of Monday is based on the local time zone. There are no cases of 0-01 being transferred across time zones, and further verification is needed.

**Note 2:** According to all records and observations of 0-01 over the past 10 years, this rule has not changed.

**Note 3:** 0-01's interpretation ability currently only applies to containment objects born from His abilities, and no corresponding ability has been found for naturally occurring containment objects.

**Note 4:** Immortality is questionable. Apart from the first appearance of 0-01 10 years ago, when He was severely injured by a tactical nuclear strike, and His contamination ability subsequently erupted, nearly destroying XX, 0-01 quickly recovered. Observations after containment have proven that 0-01 possesses regenerative abilities far beyond normal life. Due to the high cost of testing, the Foundation has not further verified this ability.
