Chapter 138: 108: A Complete Transformation of Midel (10,000-Word Chapter)_5
If one could overlook Midel's demonic horns and ignore her tail, she might truly resemble a human woman.
"Humans, do you really enjoy living peaceful and comfortable lives so much?"
Deep down, Midel was still a member of the demon race, inherently possessing a bit of a violent streak.
Zhou Baiyu said,
"Because you are demons, perhaps it's not that you don't yearn for peace, but that you cannot understand the beauty that peace brings."
"If possible, I wish I could hold your hand and walk with you on the bustling streets that are free from strife, listening to the chimes of the wind bells, the cries of the merchants, and the laughter of the people. It's noisy, yet tranquil and beautiful."
Midel truly couldn't understand.
But it seemed...
This was some sort of good life in the eyes of humans? If possible, she really wanted to experience it.
But how could that be?
Zhou Baiyu thought about it and felt that it seemed rather unrealistic.
In the Advanced World, there were no longer places where humans could safely come and go.
In her own world, it was impossible for Midel to appear there, right?
However, he was somewhat expectant about the feeling of walking through the human throngs with a friendly true charmer demon by his side.
The night was long, but Midel felt it was too short.
Her conversations with the little pet, Jiang Xianwu, made her feel that time had passed too quickly, almost regretfully so.
Even though the night demons were still trapped in their nightmares, unable to break free, and the night seemed to exist eternally as if it would never fade away...
Nevertheless, she and Zhou Baiyu arrived at the moment of their farewell.
[Performance Evaluation: SSS Rank.]
[Achievement Unlocked: A Single Moment Worth a Thousand (Only Four Winners.)]
[Summary: You've realized that what's called an SSS evaluation is, after participating in the summons, to drive the pre-determined situation towards maximizing human benefit. Soon, this conclusion will be further verified, and you will receive an interesting update notice.
You've only glimpsed a fraction of the mysteries of the Advanced World and the precursor.
However, what's interesting is that you've discovered an alternative play style, leading to the post-summon events becoming more and more apparent. You're looking more and more like a different walker.
In one minute, you will return to the transit station, and as for the clearance reward, you must make another choice.]
Upon reading the first conclusion, Zhou Baiyu was a bit puzzled. What did it mean that the conclusion would be further verified?
As he pondered,
he found that returning to the transit station was no longer a blackout followed by a direct entry into Lin's tavern.
Instead, there were two doors.
One door was pink, shrouded in mist, leading to intermediary Lin's tavern.
The other door was crimson, flickering with a mysterious Crystal Stone luster, leading to area A's laboratory.
"Midel, consider my words carefully. Once you make your decision, ensure one thing by all means—survive."
"The future isn't set in stone. I am a foregoer, I'm changing many futures, but no matter what the future is like, I hope... you exist in it."
The last words were meant as a farewell. But as soon as he uttered them, Zhou Baiyu paused mid-sentence.
Sometimes he would reflect... What was he doing? Why did such words come out so effortlessly, as if flattering remarks were at his fingertips?
But he just couldn't stop himself.
Perhaps... Mr. Zhou Zeshui had really been a playboy when he was young, before he was bound by Ms. Wang Shufen.
Of course, it's also possible that part of this gene came from his own mother?
"You too, don't make me wait too long in the future, I still have many orders..."
Midel habitually huffed at his words, feeling both amused and a strange urge to scratch Zhou Baiyu with her long-nailed fingers.
But beneath the cover of the night, Zhou Baiyu's presence was already gone.
Zhou Baiyu had disappeared.
The last time she spent seven days with Zhou Baiyu, after he disappeared, Midel didn't really feel much regret.
But this time, after just a few hours of his company, suddenly everything seemed... tasteless.
She slowly walked out from the night. Her brows and eyes grew cold once again.
If one could see Midel's face clearly, they would probably find that she had transformed from a delicate woman to a queen in an instant.
She had her gentle and tender side, but that side was not for others to see.
The Space-Time Crystal Stone had been obscured by the night for a long time.
The children of the demon race had already made a fuss once, but since the night covered everything, they were helpless.
Luckily, it seemed that there were other forms of entertainment on-site allowing the demon children to vent their dissatisfaction.
What kept them waiting was to see who would come out of the night. Among the elite eight of the demon race, who had hunted the most?
According to the ceremony of the demon race—
The first to emerge from the night was to be the mightiest.
As a figure appeared, the succubus host gasped in surprise. The demon children, who were no longer focused on the festivities, once again directed their attention to the massive Space-Time Image.
A revolutionary moment occurred. They had not expected...
The first to emerge was the succubus noble... Midel.
The least expected contender.
In that moment, Midel's influence began to spread insidiously.
Although tired, as Midel faced the break of dawn and looked up at the Space-Time Crystal Stone, the children of the demon race felt the pride of the succubus noble.
What the demon children didn't expect even more was...
Midel was not only the first to emerge from the night but also the only one to do so.
