Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"But you need to understand something, little brother, the difficulty of conscription is continually increasing. Seventy percent of the time, you still have a long way to go."

Zhou Baiyu took Lin's words to heart.

Lin flirtatiously tossed her hair and then mixed a drink for Zhou Baiyu to end his journey.

"You should return to Linxiang City now, little brother. Although I would like to keep you and chat longer, you probably really want to get back to reality, right?"

Zhou Baiyu nodded. At this moment, he didn't even know what the situation in Linxiang City was really like.

In the transfer station, everyone was discussing him, leaving him unable to gather any information.

At this time, Guang Tongchen, Dream Waker, and all were not online.

This gave Zhou Baiyu an uneasy premonition.

But soon, his mindset calmed down again.

As long as he returned, then he would ultimately be able to solve various problems.

...

...

Linxiang City.

In the long period of half a year that Zhou Baiyu had been missing,

Duan Kun, Ye Yu, and Ling Hansu had all assumed Zhou Baiyu was dead.

Zhou Baiyu's parents, Wang Shufen and Zhou Zeshui, had also reported him missing. They had not stopped shedding tears for Zhou Baiyu.

But to this day, there was no trace of Zhou Baiyu. Since his death was not confirmed, no funeral had been held.

Wang Shufen and Zhou Zeshui, though having some savings, did not depend on their child for support in their old age.

Their future retirement pensions would allow them to live comfortably.

But with Zhou Baiyu's disappearance confirmed, Miss Wang Shufen never played games again.

Every day after work, she would just sit on the balcony and stare blankly.

It was Zhou Zeshui, who sometimes would persuade her to play together, but it would end with his wife's tears again.

Globally, the world would not be destroyed because of one less person.

But for a specific family, the departure of one person could indeed cause pain for close relatives for a certain period.

Currently, strange tales were everywhere in Linxiang City. Schools, hospitals, parking lots, bars, private homes...

Many strange phenomena were occurring.

It's worth mentioning—

Guang Tongchen, Dream Waker, and Constantin had actually solved many strange tales very efficiently and had killed many followers of the new gods contaminating sources.

Even without Zhou Baiyu's help, they were doing very well.

The case of the Cat Breeders had already been solved. This case had a significant impact on people like Guang Tongchen and others.

When Constantin traced back to the source, everyone thought he was making it up.

"The core pollution behind this strange tale belongs to followers of the Beast Love God and the Pets Love God,"

"Don't think this god isn't formidable, but it can make a person develop a deformed love for pets. They become extreme animal rights activists, placing animals' lives above other humans' and even their own lives,"

"and once the pollution reaches a certain level, those individuals no longer remain human. Those who like cats could give birth to cats, and those who like pigs or dogs, their bodies might gradually transform into those of their favored pets,"

Guang Tongchen did not understand, but he was deeply shocked.

To make humans develop a twisted, deformed love for animals, then leading to subservience... and eventually mutations.

This source of pollution also gave the people some insight into the methods the new gods used to pollute the real world.

When they solved this case and found the source of pollution, the source was feeding sheep carrots from behind.

Having witnessed this scene, Guang Tongchen felt for the first time that the low population abroad was not without reason.

Constantin calmly stated,

"You'll get used to it. Many sources of pollution are followers of strange new gods, mostly some human emotions accumulated to a bizarre extent."

"Just like this time, it's human love for animals reaching a bizarre extent."

"Pets are just pets; you have to be the pet's owner first, and then you can be its friend."

"But in the eyes of extreme animal rights activists, the relationship between animals and humans can be reversed. As a result, this god has quite a number of followers."

The case was solved two months ago. In between, there were several strange sources of godly pollution, all of which were solved through the efforts of a few people.

But the urban legends of Linxiang City were becoming more frequent. Even the sources of pollution that had been eradicated would reappear.

All these were because of the current major scourge of Linxiang City—the fallen followers of the God of Plagiarism and Duplication.

Although people like Guang Tongchen kept solving the pollution, this fallen follower continued to create more.

At first, everyone thought this was a character similar to other sources of pollution.

But later, as the followers of the God of Plagiarism and Duplication kept duplicating other pollutions...

He had become a significant menace in Linxiang City.

And as the pollution and urban legends in Linxiang City increased, legends like Ke Zhongye, Huan Liuyan, and Guan Canghai, decided to come to Linxiang City.

Yet even so, everything continued to develop as Zhang Haoyun had said—

Urban legends might become the norm in Linxiang City.

Guang Tongchen was also thinking that if the end of the world was inevitable, perhaps gradually making people realize that the world was changing would be better than suddenly having them accept the arrival of the end.

This was also a thought of making the best out of a bad situation.

But not all news from Linxiang City was bad.

Dream Unsettled had always worried about one thing—Zhang Haoyun might go berserk.

Because Zhou Baiyu could not return, Zhang Haoyun's condition had always been irritable.

Like a ticking time bomb constantly heating up inside, as if it could explode at any moment.

Dream Unsettled had always been quite wary of Zhang Haoyun.

But what he didn't expect, and what somewhat embarrassed him, was—

Zhang Haoyun had always adhered to her conscience and hadn't let her inner irritability consume her, despite being a corrupt breed.

If Zhou Baiyu's disappearance was a stress test... then in this test, Zhang Haoyun was undeniably qualified.

A week ago, Guang Tongchen and Dream Unsettled visited Zhang Haoyun at her location.

Zhang Haoyun also had a conversation with Guang Tongchen, and it was during this conversation that the two realized...

This girl was much stronger than they had imagined.

When Guang Tongchen tried to delicately suggest that Zhou Baiyu might not return, Zhang Haoyun gave Guang Tongchen, and even Dream Unsettled, a surprisingly defiant response:

"He will definitely come back."

She remained irritable, still in a state that could erupt at any moment, making people wary of approaching her. At least, that's how it seemed.

But when she uttered those words, Guang Tongchen felt an undeniable force.

"So if he never comes back, will you keep waiting for him?"

As a monster, an anomaly whose closeness to others might infect them with corruption, Zhang Haoyun smiled wanly:

"Yes, besides him, who else could I possibly wait for?"

At that moment, seeing the smile on Zhang Haoyun's face, Dream Unsettled suddenly let go of some thoughts; he realized that this girl was truly redeemed by Zhou Baiyu.

Guang Tongchen sincerely hoped that Zhou Baiyu would return to Linxiang City.
