Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu had a long dream. In the dream, he saw Dr. A, Sister Lin, and a dark shadow turning its back on him.

It was as if multiple elements intertwined, forming a vast territory into a chessboard.

Then, he realized that he himself was a chess piece.

But just as he was preparing to closely examine the chessboard and decode the dream, trying to rise from being a chess piece to a player—

he woke up.

After being unconscious for a day and a night, Zhou Baiyu woke up. He found himself in a building that had collapsed halfway.

Not long before, the periphery of the building had been cleared of night fiends, whose flesh aromatically lingered in the air.

Many of those who awaked feared the corpses of night fiends strewn across the ground.

However, they were extremely hungry. Once the eternal night's enchantment was broken, humans faced a new problem—they had gained freedom but now had to solve the issue of survival.

Just like livestock penned in sheds, to the night fiends, this was their charity toward humans.

And every bird that left its cage, or fish that returned to the sea, had to face this choice. Yet, they must ultimately strive for freedom.

Zhou Shou's act of eating meat indeed solved the urgent needs of this group.

Zhou Shou had confined Zhou Baiyu to a certain floor of the collapsed, abandoned building.

Wu Xin was startled when he saw Zhou Shou. He could see a person's fate, but with his own abilities as a level-one Gatherer, the person before him seemed to have no fate at all.

Gluttonous Fate?

In a sense, such a person was more like the tyrannical protagonist of an epic saga than those powerful individuals guided by destiny.

Behind Zhou Shou dimly appeared fierce beast patterns in his aura.

Luo Hui, maintaining some distance, explained some things to Zhou Shou.

Thus, Zhou Shou learned that all these people, including himself, were slaves trapped in a dream, tormented by eternal night, all saved by his elder brother.

He also learned that his brother seemed to be known as Jiang Xianwu.

But he couldn't remember his brother's real name. As far back as he could recall, from childhood, he just called him Brother.

Latter, he started referring to him as Elder Brother, but still didn't know his name. The two brothers lived in different places, with different names. His brother was always cunning, using different names with different people.

So he didn't believe Jiang Xianwu was his real name. Of course, the name wasn't important.

Zhou Shou still barred everyone from approaching Zhou Baiyu.

"You freaks, until my brother wakes up, until he says he wants to see you himself, don't come near us, or I won't mind eating human flesh."

The psychotic aura emanating from Zhou Shou made everyone believe he was telling the truth.

Yun Duo was quite worried about what exactly happened to Jiang Xianwu.

Fortunately, not long after, Zhou Baiyu woke up.

In the rundown house, the two brothers talked a lot.

"So, big brother, you reversed the night with this watch. It's really an incredible tool. I may not be able to kill eternal night. At least, under its cover of night, I might not be able to defeat it."

"But with light, it probably won't be difficult to kill it."

"Big brother, it looks like I don't have much time left."

After the spell of the God of Nightmare and Nihility ended, it seemed everything binding each person also dissolved.

Time within the enchantment didn't stop; everyone continued to grow and change.

But all the regulations had ceased counting.

Only now did those regulations begin counting again.

Zhou Shou, as a Reverser, had a different duration of stay than predecessors.

After the spell ended, the closer his destination to version 2.49, the longer he could stay.

For instance, if he went to version 1.0 in the future, he could only stay for a very short while, but at this moment, he could stay for a day and a night or even longer.

Feeling some anomalies in his body, Zhou Shou knew this meant the Reversers' rules were taking effect again, and he was about to return.

Being together was always fleeting, but as long as there was a meeting, the future held endless possibilities.

"From now on, I'll call you Zhou Shou."

"You are the famous Demon King Hunter, a true Hunter. In private, you can call me Zhou Baiyu; in public, call me Jiang Xianwu."

"Or you can just keep calling me big brother."

Zhou Shou nodded frantically. During the time Zhou Baiyu was unconscious, Zhou Shou had observed him closely, and the more he observed, the more satisfied he became, primarily for the following reasons—

My big brother is really handsome, more so than anyone else I've seen.

And—big brother's radishes are really big, seemingly even bigger than mine...

He had already seen many ugly creatures. So he felt even prouder because of his elder brother's good looks.

Zhou Shou also really liked the name. Of course, as he mentioned before, even if Zhou Baiyu had given him a name like 'Dog Egg', he would likely still love it.

That was just how Zhou Shou was.

He couldn't recall his own family name. His current thought was—so it turns out my dead dad's last name was Zhou?

Actually, Zhou Baiyu wanted to say, if in the future you go to version 1.0... it's best not to kill Blow Wind.

Of course, Zhou Shou definitely wouldn't know Blow Wind. Zhou Baiyu's wish was, it's best not to kill anyone...

But he ultimately didn't say this. As the thought emerged, he habitually reconsidered and found it unfeasible—

"It seems, Zhou Shou and I have now formally recognized each other as brothers."

"I can feel that Zhou Shou really has a severe brother complex... but I must also protect this younger brother of mine."
