Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu looked at various notifications.

He realized that "pollution" had already begun to take effect.

It was indeed something everyone pursued, hidden in their subconscious.

Zhou Baiyu hadn't learned the details yet, but seeing the "family betrayal" that had just occurred and various truthful revelations on his phone...

He speculated that the source of pollution in Linxiang City was related to "truth".

He didn't linger, assuming his companions had also noticed the problem.

Zhou Baiyu initially planned to visit home, but after just a quick phone call reassuring his parents, he immediately headed toward Yunjin Tianjiang.

...

...

Youke New Town.

Madam Wang and Mr. Zhou's marital life had always been harmonious.

Especially since they recently found out that their son was some kind of magical adventurer, akin to an investigator of peculiar supernatural events, Wang Shufen had recently become obsessed with various supernatural games.

This was the third day after the defensive mode announcement, and the third day that pollution had officially started affecting the whole of Linxiang City.

That day, Zhou Zeshui bought a new vinyl record home, feeling pleased.

So-called harmonious married life is... even if love had turned into affection, he would still share anything joyful with her immediately.

Zhou Zeshui always pampered his wife, saying,

"Today was strange, I went to buy records, usually, I remember it takes a long time, after all, some things are aged, and the prices fluctuate greatly. In the eyes of those in need, it's valuable, in the eyes of those not in need... not as good as new."

"You know I like old records, the price was marked 1900, but I asked for a cheaper price, and the owner directly said, 'You've got to let me earn something, right? 1900 is not expensive."

"I asked him how much he bought it for. This question was actually kind of offensive, but guess what, the owner said he bought it for 1100, I laughed at the time, then I bought it for 1200."

"It's strange, just directly asked the floor price."

Madam Wang Shufen obviously didn't care about the records; she caught the key point:

"How can you still afford a 1200 yuan record? Have you been hiding private money?"

Zhou Zeshui was about to say, 'How could I possibly hide private money from you?'

But then he thought about it.

How could I lie to Shufen?

Yes, my past behavior was too despicable, I actually hid private money behind her back.

Madam Wang Shufen actually didn't care about Zhou Zeshui hiding private money; there was enough money at home, and she trusted Zhou Zeshui's character.

But some things are just the ingrained pleasures of human nature.

Like hiding and discovering private money.

However, what surprised Wang Shufen was that Zhou Zeshui actually found and brought out all the private money hidden around the house, honestly revealing it.

In total, it was over sixty thousand yuan, and he admitted honestly that he had been saving for half a year to buy some out-of-print records.

This honesty made Wang Shufen feel a bit uneasy.

Liking is about competition, while loving is about yielding. After years of sparring together, Zhou Zeshui's performance was somewhat moving to Wang Shufen.

When more than sixty thousand yuan went into their joint account, Zhou Zeshui suddenly felt a bit of pain...

His inner thoughts were, 'Ah, what's come over me, why am I being so honest?'

'Isn't this the money I was keeping to collect out-of-print records? Why did I spill it all out?'

Of course, the couple had their small secrets, but none that offended good taste or affected their relationship.

Even some were benevolent concealments for the benefit of the other.

As the rule of "sincerity" continued to influence and corrupt people, the love between Zhou Baiyu's parents did not fade.

Instead, they discovered many loving little thoughts the other had.

Because they still regarded each other as the most important person, all secrets were little surprises in life.

But not every couple was the same.

...

This night was destined to be unrestful.

More and more secrets were exposed due to people's sincerity.

In the apartment complex of Youke New Town, above the sweet Mr. and Mrs. Zhou's apartment,

When a man came home late at night and faced his wife's questioning, he hesitated, then honestly admitted that he had visited a foot-massage parlor for more than just a foot massage.

People are like this, when faced with accusations, some admit willingly, while others choose to reveal the other's mistakes too, seeking a kind of moral satisfaction on equal grounds.

Thus, in the process of mutual accusations, they began to reveal their own secrets to each other.

A complex relationship emerged that was so messy it was unimaginable to fiction.

Simply put, the man—since the day the woman was pregnant, had continuously physically cheated numerous times.

Hidden in his WeChat were dozens of women's contact information, all noted with dates and ages. Of course, this WeChat was a secondary account.

And as for the woman, let's simplify it even more—'I go downstairs to buy a pack of smokes, and I meet nine people you've been with.'

People cannot imagine that when everyone is honest, it can lead to a huge crisis of trust.

This couple's relationship thus shattered.

Or rather, it had already shattered, but now, under the "twisted sincerity," they finally accepted this fact.

Overnight, Linxiang City had countless cases of infidelity and children who weren't biologically related emerge.

...

...

The next morning. This was the fourth day of pollution spread.

The more it spread, the stronger the sense of sincerity became.

In the police station, the criminal Liu Dali confessed to his crimes without reservation.
