Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

In the dream, how were these people supposed to survive?

Zhou Baiyu couldn't find any clues to the many questions; his senses reached out and discovered quite a few people.

Thinking of those people in the memory who gathered towards the light, Zhou Baiyu realized he himself was the only source of light—

Wouldn't he be very popular in such night colors?

That's what he thought, but reality soon slapped him in the face.

When Zhou Baiyu approached the silhouettes in the darkness, attempting to move to another place, to communicate with others... he indeed saw the pale face of a middle-aged man, with prominent dark circles under his eyes, as if smeared with black around them.

His body looked as if it had been skinned by life, the whole person was so thin that it was somewhat creepy.

On the endless land, it seemed that every dozen meters or so, you would see such a person.

But the man's eyes were full of terror and anger:

"Get away! Get away! Don't come near me! Get away from me now!"

Zhou Baiyu, emitting a faint light, was as if he had an aura about him.

But when the halo enveloped others— their reactions caught Zhou Baiyu by surprise.

"Don't come near me! You bring bad luck! Newcomer, hide in your own house!"

Like cockroaches fleeing from the light, the skinny middle-aged man quickly tumbled and crawled into his own house, and then with a bang, shut the door.

Zhou Baiyu stood benumbed in place. What was going on?

He walked towards other places, and this time, he saw a woman barely covered with clothes.

Having been deprived of light for so long, the woman looked pale and haggard, apparently suffering from a lack of sleep, resulting in swollen under-eye bags and sunken eye sockets, presenting a fearful, morbid look.

Especially when she saw Zhou Baiyu approaching, she showed a look of terror, as if a layer of skin had been stretched over a skull.

She screamed with flailing arms:

"Go away, don't shine on me! You ghostly thing! Don't shine on me! Ghostly thing! Go away quickly!"

As if fleeing from a plague, the woman also ran away frantically, then closed her own house.

Bang.

The sound of doors slamming continually sounded.

This time it was like triggering some kind of chain reaction.

The appearance of Zhou Baiyu as a light source attracted many glances in the darkness.

Any faint light that appeared in such darkness was striking.

Everyone in an instant would be attracted by the light, but also in an instant, would feel the fear they once had when chasing after light.

They looked at Zhou Baiyu with eyes full of greed.

But when Zhou Baiyu approached them, they became extremely terrified.

With two people fleeing from Zhou Baiyu, the sound of doors closing grew more and more.

Bang bang bang bang!

In the unseen darkness, Zhou Baiyu heard only the sound of numerous people closing doors, like dominoes falling one after another, spreading further and further.

Zhou Baiyu stood confused, also realizing that things were probably a bit serious.

"What on earth is going on?"

Silence.

Long after the knocking disappeared, Zhou Baiyu could no longer hear any sound.

He seemed the only living person beneath the colossal curtain of the endless night.

Zhou Baiyu was suddenly a little at a loss.

"Why are you hiding from me? I won't hurt you. Could you tell me, what exactly is the deal with the light on me?"

He actually also wanted to ask, how to leave the dream.

But obviously, if someone knew how to leave, they would likely have left already.

Only by leaving the dreamworld would there be a chance to defeat the eternal night. Because only by leaving the dream could one be eligible to use those items.

And the night demons in the dream could not possibly be defeated.

No one answered Zhou Baiyu. The puzzles in his mind grew more and more.

Why did none of the others have light? Why did he alone have light?

Standing under the vast night sky, in the midst of the endless darkness, the bright light on him made him extremely out of place with everything around him.

"Could these people be figments of the night demons' endless night dreams?"

"No...that's not right. These people should be like me, trapped in this dream, they're real."

The way to fight the darkness, then, is light.

Yet at this moment, Zhou Baiyu, as the sole light source, was isolated by everyone.

He began to doubt.

This doubt made the light on him dim a few shades. The visible range fell a little lower.

Just then, Zhou Baiyu heard a sound.

Creak—Squeak—

An old wooden door opened, followed by a measured pace of footfalls.

Zhou Baiyu's heartbeat hastened; he could tell the footsteps were approaching him.

Finally, someone was willing to communicate with him, right?

Without any knowledge of everything, facing the endless night, not knowing what to do, or how to escape, Zhou Baiyu now desperately needed someone to help him.

The light that had dimmed a few shades began to surge once more.

He also prepared to move towards the footsteps, but just then—

The owner of the footsteps, sensing the light moving, getting a bit closer, immediately said:

"Please... please don't come near me, don't hurt me... I, I can't be seen in the light. Don't come near me."

Zhou Baiyu immediately stopped.

This voice was very familiar!

He quickly began to think where he had heard this voice. Soon, he remembered—

Ado.

Zhou Baiyu was certain, the owner of this voice was the Ado he had glimpsed from the night demon's memory.

"Ado, yes, when I was little, I heard my mother say, my mother said, this world is not all dark. Even if there's no daylight, there will be a moon at night! There will be stars!"
