Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

A strange conversation unfolded, leaving Zhou Baiyu somewhat bewildered.

In his expectation, the guild leader might not be thoughtless and did possess considerable analytical abilities, but he couldn't have been so cheerful upon suddenly encountering a corrupt being.

"I'm already a monster... I can't marry him, can I? He... he has parents who love him, and even when I was human, I wasn't worthy of him."

These words were tinged with a bitter sadness. Zhou Baiyu seemed to suddenly understand why Zhang Haoyun hadn't called him that day.

It stemmed from an innate kindness and a sense of inferiority.

Guang Tongchen sighed and said,

"He's not that kind of person. Even if you've become a corrupt being, he won't see you any differently."

Zhou Baiyu thought to himself, Guild leader, are you really okay with this? On what basis are you making such a judgment?

What Zhou Baiyu didn't know was that Guang Tongchen, having experienced the "Sixth Sense Competitor" and "Orator" traits...

...had completely changed.

Taking into account the previous peeks into Zhou Baiyu's time at Hanging Corpse Hospital, combined with their teaming up to take the guild's test, and Zhou Baiyu's maneuvers when they cleared the cruise ship...

Especially in the madhouse, where he had personally felt the power of these few traits...

Guang Tongchen suddenly had an epiphany.

This was, after all, the correct way for a different walker to survive in the post-apocalyptic era.

At first, when Guang Tongchen found Zhou Baiyu's disappearance on the thermal imager of the sniper equipment, he was filled with worry, abandoning the sniper rifle and charging straight ahead.

But when he arrived on the twenty-fifth floor, he didn't find Zhou Baiyu; there was only an attractive woman.

But if one looked closely at this woman, they would notice many strange things about her.

Plus the feeling of oppression Guang Tongchen felt... He immediately knew this was a corrupt being, fearing that Zhou Baiyu had already sacrificed himself.

But the next second, Guang Tongchen's thoughts shifted—

He instantly wondered, could Zhou Baiyu, under the fiery trait, really be taken down so easily?

Could this woman perhaps be... an ally?

So Guang Tongchen immediately tried to communicate with her.

Their conversation flowed warmly, with the topic revolving around Zhou Baiyu.

Though he remained vigilant and didn't mention anything about the Advanced World or the pioneers,

He cleverly turned his and Zhou Baiyu's adventures into battles against monsters in the real world.

Having temporarily possessed the Orator trait, the biggest help it gave to Guang Tongchen wasn't the strong emotional evocation ability of the trait itself,

But rather, it opened Guang Tongchen's mind.

The call to the Advanced World isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

For instance, he patiently observed and discovered— as long as he praised Zhou Baiyu, for his composure, for his intelligence, for his decisive action, for his care for teammates,

The corrupt being would genuinely feel happy from within.

So he continued to discuss Zhou Baiyu's merits.

Their conversation was flowing so smoothly, although the pressure Zhang Haoyun brought to Guang Tongchen was unprecedented, seemingly more powerful than the average Demon Lord.

But now, Guang Tongchen did not feel any problem at all.

Even without asking, even if Zhou Baiyu had disappeared, he knew for sure that Zhou Baiyu would be alright.

A Demon Lord-level corrupt being, willing to help humanity, would be greatly beneficial to future defensive modes, Guang Tongchen was very clear about this.

He truly admired Zhou Baiyu, and even wished for the future of humanity that Zhou Baiyu would quickly marry this unexpectedly compatible, though corrupt, and exceptionally ordinary-looking girl.

So, by a fortunate coincidence, just as Zhou Baiyu returned, Guang Tongchen asked—

"So, when do you plan on getting married?"

Well, get married quickly, for the future of humanity!

Even with the strong traits of a Sixth Sense Competitor, Zhou Baiyu couldn't have predicted the rich trajectory of changes in the Guild Leader's mind.

He decisively appeared, entering their line of sight, and said,

"Who I'm with is my own business, and if my family objects, it will just be a symbolic objection. Besides, never feel that you're unworthy of someone; you are truly unique in this world and beyond!"

Damn it, my mouth! Why do I always say things without thinking?

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhou Baiyu regretted them once again. He had intended to halt this conversation,

But first instinctively chose to comfort Zhang Haoyun, telling her that there was no tragic barrier between them.

This comfort, unwittingly, carried an air of "I don't mind, please marry me."

Zhang Haoyun suddenly looked down.

Guang Tongchen looked at the suddenly appearing Zhou Baiyu with admiration in his eyes.

What is a legend? Unique in the world? I, Ye, the person? Huan Liuyan? Waking from a dream?

No, none of those, you are the legend!

Guang Tongchen's expression at this moment was like a person in a black robe puffing out his cheeks saying, who is the true hero! Zhou Baiyu, you are the real hero!

Zhou Baiyu saw the look in the Guild Leader's eyes and always had the feeling that his various maneuvers had awakened something strange within the Guild Leader.

"Seeing how hot your conversation was... Ahem, I worried for nothing."

Zhou Baiyu steered the conversation back on track.

Zhang Haoyun also raised her head and asked,

"How did you manage to disappear suddenly?"

Guang Tongchen had also guessed that Zhou Baiyu must have entered the transfer station.

Zhou Baiyu thought for a moment and decided to distill some of Doctor A's secrets and spoke of them.

Of course, he didn't mention Doctor A. He simply said he had learned something from the intermediary by spending Advanced values.
