Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

The number of people had dwindled from 1,105 to 1,085.

The hunt had only started a few minutes ago, and infighting among the prisoners had already begun.

Five meters.

As the distance closed, Zhou Baiyu suddenly had a watch in his hand at the critical moment, and he decisively turned the wristwatch.

Click.

The sound of the gears turning was exceptionally soft, but the effect it brought was utterly terrifying.

Within a radius of two thousand meters... darkness fell in an instant.

Passing through the Gu Tower, the watch in the Bai Ling painting was forcibly summoned, unleashing a dense darkness so thick that it was impossible to see one's own fingers.

"Lord Night Demon, spare my life! I am your loyal dog, woof woof woof!" The man-beast instantly stopped in his tracks, crying out faithfully to the darkness.

These dog barks startled Zhou Baiyu so much that he almost lost his composure completely.

Damnit, this guy's been domesticated way too harshly, haven't you? As a human, you truly have no dignity left, do you?

In a way, Zhou Baiyu admired those who could live in humiliation at critical moments.

But he couldn't bring himself to admire this man-beast because the man-beast no longer felt humiliated... rather, like many in his 1.0 version, he truly believed... some people were superior to others.

Zhou Baiyu had originally hoped to use the cover of night to change into those shoes.

Unexpectedly, the wristwatch had an unforeseen effect, making the person following him believe the Night Demon had descended!

Taking advantage of this distraction, Zhou Baiyu put on the troublesome boots... and once again ran like mad.

And the man-beast? He continued to kneel faithfully in the darkness.

The night fell too abruptly, and Songjiang City, long abandoned, was already without electricity.

So when darkness fell, the entire covered area became pitch-black.

Zhou Baiyu, relying on memory alone, drew closer and closer to the department store building.

He put on those shoes to thoroughly muddle the waters.

These shoes of the gods looked very deceptive.

But sometimes, if one is willing to think in a different way, the situation becomes much clearer.

The effect of these shoes was to make him more prone to encountering special events.

To an ordinary person, these shoes might seem unlucky.

But on the contrary, they're like a switch, a switch that can actively accelerate the process and involve oneself in special events.

Moreover, are all special events bad? That is not necessarily the case. Under the affinity for corruption, there could still be serendipities.

Zhou Baiyu put on the gods' little shoes and ran even faster.

In fact, he had been running with his eyes closed the whole time, following the direction in his memory, getting closer and closer to the building. He could sense, through the changes in wind direction and temperature, that he must have neared the department store, as if he was enveloped by a vast shadow.

The next second, he dispelled the darkness.

Gazing at the watch again, he saw a new remark—[Cannot be used again within two hours, countdown 1:59:59.]

The daylight instantly brightened.

Zhou Baiyu then slowly opened his eyes, and the man-beast, who had been ceaselessly offering worship to the Night Demon, screamed in pain from the sudden fracture of the night and the dazzling light.

Without hesitation, Zhou Baiyu took this opportunity to decisively enter the department store.

At that moment, he felt a great relief wash over him.

...

...

Several minutes earlier.

The nine elite members of the demon kind had already gathered at a high vantage point in some part of Songjiang City.

Although their hunt had not yet started, they were already leisurely planning how to maximize the entertainment value of the program.

How to execute an entertainment-style massacre that would send the demon citizens into a frenzied celebration.

So, in essence, the hunt was not a competition. At least for Midel, it was definitely not a competition.

Midel, as a member of the nobility, considered performing in front of so many demon citizens a humiliation.

Originally, the nine demon clans did not interfere with each other, and although the nine elites started at the same point, they were headed in different directions.

But after Zhou Baiyu put on the shoes, everything he initiated began to ferment.

The vast cloak of night made all nine demon leaders feel that something was amiss.

"Nai Zhi, I don't remember any exiles from the Night Demon clan participating in this survival game," said Flame Demon Huoluo.

Night Demon Nai Zhi also furrowed his brow; that night was not pure, but it had boosted him.

The most crucial part... was that the night covered a vast area.

Only a Great Demon-level Night Demon could summon such a night.

"There are no kin of mine among the prisoners, the demons who have been banished this time are all Enchanting Demons. Heh."

Night Demon Nai Zhi glanced at Midel. His tone was clearly mocking.

Midel immediately showed a look of disdain.

Not long ago, she had initiated a reform, hoping to harness the popularity of a cultural fashion reform to spread her concept of "learning from humanity."

But she was opposed by the Enchanting Demon Empress Reina, one of the Demon Emperors.

Since Midel went against Reina's will for the second time, Reina decided to humiliate Midel.

This led to Midel, a silver-haired noble among the Enchanting Demons, being embroiled in the hunt.

Though for Midel it was a humiliation, for the other demons, it was an opportunity to seek glory.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, to think you, a noble who has been disdained by the Empress, still dare to show that disgusted face. When it comes down to it, you're just a weakling!"

Being of Demon King level, although Nai Zhi was not as strong as other demons during the day,

Enchanting Demons were inherently not adept at fighting, and with the disparity in realms, he was confident he could match Midel even during daylight.

Especially since he had the trump card of summoning night, and thus at this moment, faced with the former noble, Night Demon Nai Zhi was particularly unsparing.

The Enchanting Demon is different from other demonic tribes.

Enchanting Demons and Lust Demons attain their status through other achievements.

Whereas other demons rise through military merit and strength.

In the demon hierarchy, there's hardly anyone with great power but low status.

However, the Enchanting Demon is an exception; their Empress values lineage.

So Night Demon Nai Zhi looks down on Midel, thinking she's worthless except for her silver hair.

"I've decided to take a look near that nightfall. I'd like to know who or what can summon the night! Ah, Nai Zhi, my brother, you are so powerful. If that person surrenders to you to save their life, the hunt will all be shrouded in darkness. That would be unfortunate, wouldn't it? I plan to kill the one who can summon the night," spoke Horror Demon Buxun.

"I've caught the scent as well... that place... is hiding a deliciously corrupt breed!" Beast Demon Hu Zhen said.

Several demon chieftains seemed to have strayed from their original plan, deciding to spare people from other areas for the time being.

With Night Demon, Horror Demon, and Beast Demon joining in, Nether Demon You Quan, who enjoyed the chaos, was also considering whether to follow these others and pick up a few corpses.

If the one capable of summoning the night were to die... his body might be useful to him.

Thus Nether Demon You Quan also decided to head in the direction of the nightfall.

Lust Demon Sha Yue said:

"If I can seduce that person, none of you should kill him."

Sha Yue's voice seemed to be everyone's favorite sound.

Midel wasn't initially interested; she didn't want to mingle with these demons.

But as Lust Demon Sha Yue spoke, she used the abilities of her tribe.

Though this power of seduction had little effect on the demons, it made them hear voices they liked.

In Midel's ears, the voice of her little male pet surfaced.

In that instant... even though she knew it was just a ploy by the Lust Demon, she couldn't help wanting to go and see.

Because deep down... a woman's intuition suddenly erupted.

So, utterly perplexed... the elites of the nine demonic races all decided to move in one direction.

The hunting game had just begun, and due to Zhou Baiyu's actions leading to the butterfly effect, a focal event had been created.

...

...

Not only the nine Hunters.

The hunted prey also seemed to be stirring.

The Hunters could oversee everything from above and naturally knew where the night had fallen.

Not so for the prey.

Yet the night summoned by Zhou Baiyu covered such a wide area. There were, in fact, many prisoners within it.

"Daddy, are we going there?"

"The big shot from the Night Demon clan wishes to become the eighth Demon Emperor... it's awaiting an opportunity. The Stitched Demon Master has ordered that elites of the clan will appear in this hunt," said the hand with a face, speaking in the father's voice.

The "child" calling out for daddy wasn't located elsewhere but shared a body with the father, except the child was situated at the neck.

Not just the father and child, but this body also included the grandfather, grandmother, and mother.

All five family members grow out of one incomplete human form.

This person lacked a right arm. Lacked a head.

On the thigh of the left leg was the grandfather's aged face, on the calf of the right leg the grandmother's penetrating smile, the face on the belly was the mother's, and beside the mother's face was that of a dead baby.

The mother wore a look of sorrow; the child on the neck had eyes wide with curiosity, marveling at the world they once lived in.

Such a body, without a head or a right hand, would induce shivers even in those from the post-apocalyptic era.

This body nonstop engaged in family discussions.

Normally, corrupt breeds, unless at the level of a demon lord, find it difficult to possess multiple abilities.

But this corrupt breed was different...

In a sense, it was a piece of flesh that had fallen off the Stitched Demon.

It was part of the corrupt breed, yet seemed like a fusion of many corrupt breeds.

Grandfather, grandmother, mother, child, and the family leader, the father... corresponded to five different abilities.

His initial point score was one hundred ninety-five points.

The highest in the basic evaluation so far.

But this was only the score after the ankle bracelet's limitations, and... the assessment of the base combat abilities of a piece of flesh from the Stitched Demon.

The peculiar abilities of the family of five were not included in this calculation.

Especially… the most significant feature of the Stitched Demon was the ability to assemble bodies at will.

That ankle bracelet was placed on the "grandmother," but the next second...

The family patriarch, the father, abandoned the grandmother.

A horrifying scene unfolded as this patchwork person effortlessly detached one of its legs.

What was eerie was that during the amputation, not a drop of blood was spilled, and at the seam were only writhing black threads.

Then, the body brutally took the leg with the grandmother's face, which had been twisted and deformed from hammering, and reattached it after the ankle bracelet had been removed.

One leg was normal; the other looked as if a truck had run over it.

After being pieced back together, the body walked with a limp.

The already strange and terrifying stitched being became even more unnerving.

Limping along, it made its way toward the place where the night had faded. At the end of its vision stood a massive shopping complex.
