Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

But the people in B Section couldn't do that.

If they couldn't vent their negative emotions for a long time, the desire inside their hearts would keep swelling.

All those who were deprived of other emotions, those who had completely become slaves to laughter, would be sent to that hellish world—B Section.

In B Section, when they felt fear, since they had been deprived of the right to fear, they could only laugh.

When they felt sadness, since the right to sorrow had been taken away from them, they could only laugh.

When they were hungry, unable to express their hunger with a feeling of sadness, they could only laugh.

When they felt pain, likewise unable to express their anguish with the corresponding emotion, they could only laugh.

Those who had lost the ability to exhibit any emotion other than laughter were like disfigured monsters in B Section.

No matter how twisted the torture they faced, they could only emit "hahaha" laughter.

What a joyous hell, what grating laughter.

The desires in their hearts continued to expand.

All these cravings for emotions other than joy transformed into desires and were absorbed by the mysterious treasure "Eternal Laughter."

Boluke even cruelly established a certain special connection between A Section and B Section.

Every person who entered B Section was bearing the cost of a person from A Section venting their desires.

In the Food Castle of A Section, there was someone who seemed to be bound to Jiang Lu in some fashion.

When the people of A Section indulged in gluttony, the people in B Section went mad with hunger.

During the day, Jiang Lu was so hungry she felt her front sticking to her back, and she let out a "hahaha" laughter.

When Jiang Lu laughed, someone in A Section also laughed, but it was the satisfied and contented laughter that came from food breaking down in the stomach.

Similarly, when this person indulged his desires, entwined intimately with the women in the glass house, Jiang Lu still emitted the same laughter as him.

Only what she felt was an endless emptiness.

While another person in A Section rested comfortably, feeling the warmth of the sun filtering through soap bubbles on their skin, Jiang Lu felt pain in her body as if being pricked by needles, and she felt extremely cold.

This was not an illusion but a real pain; her skin began to crack continuously, and her blood, like insects chewing through the epidermis, kept burrowing out of her skin.

She wanted to cry out loud, she wanted to scream to vent the pain.

But as always, she let out a "joyful" laughter.

The laughter of the two worlds was so in sync.

As if heaven was indeed hell, and hell was indeed heaven.

At night, those desires that had accumulated during the day did not simply disappear, Jiang Lu was still in pain, hungry, and empty.

But more than that, she was tired.

When someone in A Section fell into sweet dreams and let out joyful laughter, Jiang Lu, who also laughed—had never so desperately yearned for sleep.

Not just Jiang Lu, every person in B Section was enduring a similar brand of despair and pain.

They had fallen into a black hole of desire, unable to satisfy any of their wants, and their laughter only made their existence appear even more disfigured and ugly.

Hahahahahahahahaha...

In the carnival of hell, not one person was happy, and laughter was not the conclusion of joy, but a cycle of pain.

People's cravings for food, warmth, companionship, sleep... formed a vast desire.

These desires were the "Divine Endowment experience points" for the mysterious treasure Eternal Laughter.

At the same time, these desires were the actual source of food in the Food Castle!

The more the people of A Section satisfied their desires, the greater the gap in the people of B Section's desires became, no, it was hundreds, thousands of times greater.

Under Boluke's design, under the effect of the mysterious treasure Eternal Laughter—

Every laugh in A Section was built upon the despair of the people in B Section.

All of this, for those living in A Section, those who had never truly come to experience B Section, was forever unknowable.

Only when Zhou Baiyu finally reached B Section and, in that moment, was forcibly connected to a certain person—

Did he finally feel that pain.

Endless emptiness, hunger, fatigue, and pain, all struck at once!

For the first time, he realized how passionate his desires were for food, for clothes that could ward off the cold... for those basic human survival needs!

The most ironic thing was, the people living in B Section could only laugh.

How desperately they wished to shed tears, how desperately they wished to let out a miserable howl in their pain.

It was impossible.

All of it had been stripped away from them in the process of satisfying their desires and obtaining happiness.

Zhou Baiyu looked around, every "person" he saw was more disfigured and distorted than the prisoners he had seen in his nightmares.

They had become like starving ghosts from hell, their blood crusted over, their mouths perpetually open, having forgotten the language of humans, only mechanically laughing.

In the vast world of B Section, among tens of thousands of people, only Zhou Baiyu stood, fists clenched, brimming with rage.

"Jiang Xianwu, save me..."

Jiang Lu continued to sport a happy smile, but beneath the physical weakness, the loss of nutrients, and the torment of desires—

She had none of the vitality of the girl she once was.

She was so ugly.

Like someone had smashed all her teeth, like someone had crushed her eye sockets with an iron fist, even more like someone had drained her blood and sucked dry her marrow.

She was too weak, and could only wrap her arms around Jiang Xianwu's legs, laughing:

"Hahaha, hahaha..."
