Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu actually had many more questions he wanted to ask Lin.

For example... how many Advanced points are needed to select a "version."

He was not sure whether this was feasible, but relying on luck to head to the Land of No Light in the Advanced World seemed unlikely.

This was a matter of great concern to Zhou Baiyu; the gods' treasure was truly relevant to the gods themselves.

Perhaps by finding this treasure, he could solve quite a few mysteries.

However, reality dictated that Linxiang City was far too important; he had to hurry back.

Before he left, Zhou Baiyu received a message from Guang Tongchen—

"I haven't left Linxiang City yet, Jiang Xianwu. I assume you've seen the rewards for the 'Friendship Ended' mode."

"Teaming up with you gives me skill enhancement, which doesn't mean much in the original world and can only be verified when I go to the Advanced World."

"However, teaming up with me gives you the 'scorching' trait, which can be effective even in the original world."

"Whatever you did to disable the defense mode, I believe the trait must have played a role. Perhaps... I could help you."

"I think we should meet. Do you have a place in mind?"

The Pioneer's Voice was abuzz discussing Jiang Xianwu.

Ling Hansu and the ever-changing dream seemed unable to function without him, and now with Guang Tongchen's approach...

Zhou Baiyu smiled, finding the feeling of being needed somewhat comforting.

He did not respond with a good or bad, but instead directly provided a series of numbers "1569651..."

That was his phone number.

It was registered under his real name.

Zhou Baiyu had literally gone through life-and-death situations with Guang Tongchen twice; in the 'Friendship Ended' mode, it was almost equivalent to trusting each other with their lives.

Though Guang Tongchen was in a combat environment ill-suited for him, his decisiveness and magnanimity in accepting the invitation deeply impressed Zhou Baiyu.

Most people in the Pioneer's Voice, aside from the extremely important defense mode last time, were in a cautious state.

After all, no matter how powerful one is in the Advanced World, they are just a regular person in the real world.

Sharing one's contact information and name was a sign of trust.

Jiang Xianwu's gesture made Guang Tongchen smile; suddenly, he felt a bit petty.

Thus, Guang Tongchen also decisively left the transfer station.

In the bustling Pioneer's Voice, since Jiang Xianwu never showed up, the discussion eventually died down after a while.

Ke Zhongye, Huan Liuyan, and others then continued to focus on managing the aftermath of the defense mode.

They could guess that Jiang Xianwu might have completed another mission and performed excellently.

Everyone wanted to poach him, but unfortunately, his binding with Baiyu seemed to be getting deeper.

...

...

Linxiang City.

The moment he returned to his rented apartment, Ling Hansu exclaimed excitedly:

"Big Brother Zhou! You're finally back! Look at this!"

Ling Hansu also realized the urgency of the situation and did not ask anything, directly showing Zhou Baiyu the information he had gathered.

Every person's affliction grew so large they could hardly be concealed... it looked somewhat like a comedic effect.

But seeing the images, Zhou Baiyu could distinctly feel the terror on the faces of those seemingly overly blessed by the "God of Phallus and Reproduction."

Anything in excess loses its aesthetic value.

"What happened? How did this suddenly arise? Did you confirm the timeline?" Zhou Baiyu immediately asked the crucial question.

Ling Hansu said:

"The earliest patient with the 'python disease' reported it began yesterday."

Zhou Baiyu felt weary...

He had been non-stop participating in a summon yesterday, the same day Zhang Haoyun's 'Black Lotus' was deactivated.

How could this all be just a coincidence?

"All the patients have one thing in common; they all visited one place..."

"The old city area covered by 'Black Lotus'?"

"No, a certain floor of the Kunlun Building."

Zhou Baiyu furrowed his brows. Ling Hansu continued:

"Now the Kunlun Building has been sealed off. No one is allowed inside, and those afflicted with the python disease are quarantined there."

"Just... it's said there is a certain chance of it spreading through contagion. And many people investigating this have also been infected."

"Some hospital doctors... and security personnel maintaining order, are all... infected with the python disease."

"All they can do now is not open their eyes. But... that's hard to do."

Clinically, there is no clear statement about how long a person can go without blinking; only an approximate number is available. Blinking is a normal physiological response, and under normal circumstances, the eyelids open and close 15,000 times a day.

What does that mean?

It implies that for those infected with the python disease, assuming the "python" has no limits, each blink is like a snake swallowing a ball, growing one centimeter longer.

So these afflicted individuals, if they don't deliberately keep their eyes open or closed... could end up with a kilometer-long affliction.

This is indeed a terrifying spectacle. The Kunlun Building is 108 meters tall...

From a hundred-meter-high building, lengths of "python" several times taller than the building itself hang down.

If this sight were to occur, Linxiang City's property prices would plummet.

The city plagued by multiple disasters. With the "insect disaster" barely over, the "python" arrives.

Zhou Baiyu pondered and said:

"It's the rules... this must be some peculiar rule. Whether those infected with the python disease are influenced by a rule, or if this represents a transformed state to a secondary corrupted breed, is yet to be confirmed."
