Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Although this toy almost killed me... I know the information, so I'll be fine if I just look away... But other people don't know that. As long as I can keep their gaze on the toy, I can kill that person."

A rule-based counter-kill item!

At the same time, Zhou Baiyu also noticed... he really had acquired more prefixes. The whims of the God of Difference and Chaos could, to some extent, significantly improve mutation efficiency!

But it seems the last two prefixes are meaningless.

This toy had been mutated into something quite sanity-draining, transforming it into a horror toy.

The most eerie part was that the state description of the toy was—"living creature."

A living creature cannot be observed, but since it became a living creature only after being endowed with certain traits by a Mutator, Zhou Baiyu could see its basic information; he just couldn't mutate it.

For a moment, he felt the doll in his hand was burning hot.

Listening to the hurried footsteps of the beast, Zhou Baiyu didn't dodge this time. He stood still, holding the toy in his hand.

Thump thump thump!

The panting and footsteps of the beast grew clearer and clearer. Soon, it appeared in Zhou Baiyu's line of sight.

This time, Zhou Baiyu didn't speak; he just raised the toy in his hand to a conspicuous position, as if bragging like a little kid.

The beast, who was willing to serve as a demon's dog, didn't understand Zhou Baiyu's strange behavior.

It stared into Zhou Baiyu's eyes, but what stood in front of him was Zhou Baiyu's palm and a headless toy.

Just when it thought... its prey must have been driven crazy by the chase, giving up resistance and making all kinds of strange actions.

It suddenly let out a bizarre cry.

"Ahhh! So ugly, so ugly!"

This was not the noise it intended to make; the beast didn't understand why it made such a sound.

It understood even less why the world in its eyes suddenly... began spinning.

Thud.

The headless body fell to the ground, and the life of the beast came to an end.

Zhou Baiyu felt a force ejecting him, and the toy in his hand... instantly stitched together with a head that sprayed blood in midair.

At the same moment, the points on his chest turned into 24 points.

The toy, now resembling a super-distorted big-headed doll, started screaming non-stop:

"So ugly! So ugly! This head is so ugly!"

A toy with a human head, endlessly screaming, was a scene so eerie that even Zhou Baiyu found it excessively hellish.

This horrific scene made Zhou Baiyu for the first time somewhat apprehensive of mutating...

Not long ago, he had been complaining about how this profession was flawed, but now he realized—

The upper limit of a Mutator is simply too high; he could hardly imagine how terrifying a Mutator could become once Absolute Moment was activated.

"Did I just endow an inanimate object... with some traits of a living creature? Like personality? Desire?"

As if he had created a toy demon, Zhou Baiyu listened to the toy's continuous screams of "so ugly," worried that the sound would attract more monsters.

Fortunately, he quickly found the toy's original head.

After placing the "original head," which he had twisted off, in front of the toy... the toy stopped screaming.

A low whisper came to Zhou Baiyu's ear, so softly it was as if it was spoken right next to his ear:

"Thank you! But your head looks even better! I want your head!"

Too weird.

Zhou Baiyu was so frightened that he promptly ran away. What in the world had he mutated?

Luckily, not long after, as the toy switched its head on its own and its durability was used up...

The item lost its malignance, and the living creature once again became an inanimate object. The durability was actually the life value of the living creature.

Zhou Baiyu no longer heard strange whispers in his ear.

Once it lost its durability, it became possible to mutate it again, deviation rate, 79 percent. But Zhou Baiyu was already too scared to touch the doll again.

In a sense, puppets, dolls, and these human-like items all carry a certain malignance...

At this time, exactly one hour had passed since Zhou Baiyu arrived in the Advanced World.

Three points counter-killed to twenty-one points, elevating his score to twenty-four points, Zhou Baiyu's first hour could be considered well completed.

His eyes revealed the assessment.

[Successfully survived one hour and killed a target stronger than yourself. Keep it up and show us more possibilities.

Reward for Free-for-All Mode—In light of your pleasing performance, your companion will obtain the ability to acquire a 100 percent positive Mutation Item in the upcoming survival challenge.

Penalty for Free-for-All Mode—Due to the inadequate performance of your companion, the area you are in will specially attract other people.]

[You have two minutes to communicate.]

Zhou Baiyu heard voices again, not the creepy voice of the toy, but the voices of the Guild President and Guang Tongchen.

"Guild President?"

"Jiang Xianwu? Is that you? Sorry... I've had some trouble here," said Guang Tongchen, sweating profusely.

The sweat was not from exhaustion, but from urgency.

Zhou Baiyu could hear the anxiety in the Guild President's voice and said:

"Don't panic, Guild President, we have less than two minutes, quickly tell me, what happened over there?"

Guang Tongchen felt somewhat ashamed.

He had not expected Jiang Xianwu, who had weak combat power, to be able to assist him.

And yet himself, as a legendary pioneer, had brought Jiang Xianwu some negative attributes in the first hour's assessment.

Zhou Baiyu was okay with it.

He had possessed this enmity-trait for more than a day or two now; he yearned for the building to liven up.
