Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

So right now, whether it's the baby or Carolyn, one must be dealt with.

The sales clerk soon began to speak, and as the butler, the sales clerk could glimpse a bit of the complexity of this little dumpling's family.

Combining what Zhou Baiyu had said earlier with Carolyn's misjudgment, the sales clerk believed Zhou Baiyu was the stepfather.

But the answer was wrong.

The sales clerk became pensive, and next, he also guessed Huang Miu's identity wrong.

He could never have imagined that Huang Miu was playing his son.

And the butler he was playing was the most powerful person in the entire family.

Because the role of the butler itself seemed to be one of service to the other family members.

Yet the butler was also a relative of the little dumpling, which was strange in itself.

But the sales clerk did not realize this initially.

There was a difference in thinking between him and Huang Miu.

Huang Miu immediately recognized that this was a family where the strong could always attack the weak on a whim.

So Huang Miu quickly thought of the key point.

But the sales clerk... obviously still underestimated the complexity of the little dumpling's family.

When guessing Carolyn's identity, the sales clerk guessed she was a brother.

He was wrong again.

But although he guessed wrong, he narrowed down the range for Zhou Baiyu and Huang Miu.

Same generation, older than the little dumpling, not a brother...

The answer was almost on the verge of being revealed.

Miss Carolyn also furrowed her brows, seemingly realizing a critical point, her face turning pale.

Already heavily made-up, her complexion now appeared sickly.

She thought this game would be all nonsense, continuing for many rounds...

But as the rules continued to be refined, Carolyn suddenly realized that maybe after two or three rounds of the game, she would have no descriptions left to give.

Everyone says, "Master math and science, and you can traverse the world fearlessly." But in reality, language is the foundation of survival.

Four times completely wrong, the sales clerk needed to make four valid statements according to the rules.

He was a bit nervous, thankfully Zhou Baiyu's statement was indeed enlightening:

"I am older than you."

This sentence was truly a cure-all statement. Little Dumpling noticed that everyone had said it once.

"I am full of vitality."

Little Dumpling nodded: "That's right."

The phrase "full of vitality," for those like Zhou Baiyu and Huang Miu who understood the essence, suggested a high status.

Because in the apocalypse, the status of members in Little Dumpling's family was fundamentally determined by labor power.

This was actually a very crucial piece of information.

"I worry a lot about this family's affairs."

"That's right."

The sales clerk answered correctly again.

But his answer had already allowed Huang Miu to narrow down the scope to a very exaggerated extent.

Huang Miu had even thought of— the Butler. It wasn't that he was quicker than Zhou Baiyu, but as the Butler's son, Huang Miu was inherently very sensitive to the role of the butler.

"I am very knowledgeable about many things in this family."

"That's right."

The sales clerk passed four times.

The first round of the game also ended here.

The game quickly moved to the second round.

Zhou Baiyu, Huang Miu, the sales clerk, the baby, and Carolyn, all five people, still made meaningless statements.

Everyone smoothly passed through the description phase.

Soon, it was the turn to guess identities.

The baby made a bunch of random guesses and got them all wrong, after which Zhou Baiyu suddenly said,

"By the way, I haven't asked before… can you repeat the baby's answer? None of us heard it clearly."

Little Dumpling looked at Zhou Baiyu and shook his head.

"Big brother, if you didn't listen carefully, that's your own problem."

"So does this mean I can also communicate using a dialect they don't understand?"

"You can't, he speaks only this one language. But you must choose a language that everyone can understand."

Little Dumpling saw through it—this big brother was trying to find a loophole again.

All his thoughts seemed to be about how to cheat.

Zhou Baiyu nodded:

"Alright, then it's my turn to speak."

"Is the baby's identity a sister?"

"Wrong, he's not playing the sister."

Zhou Baiyu actually also thought the baby wasn't playing the sister, but he was playing a little trick here.

Although he was guessing the baby's identity, when Zhou Baiyu mentioned the word sister, his gaze was fixed directly on Miss Carolyn.

At that moment, Ms. Carolyn's expression was priceless.

Even though she feigned composure a second later, the panic of that instant had already been caught by Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu sighed,

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

At this point, Carolyn's eyes were filled with terror.

Her nails, painted in dark red polish, pressed against the seat, producing a sharp, grating sound.

Zhou Baiyu's probing was very effective. He guessed the baby's identity but specifically mentioned an identity very close to what Carolyn had described, to observe Carolyn's reaction.

As a result, Carolyn fell for it.

Huang Miu learned as well; later, he planned to use it on the salesperson.

At this stage of the game, it was clear Carolyn was going to be eliminated. The terror on her face slowly turned into resentment towards Zhou Baiyu:

"I won't accept this! I'm going to kill you!"

"According to the rules, if you attack me, you'll be breaking the game."

Carolyn froze again.

Zhou Baiyu said,

"Really, what joy is there in staying in such a train? Her identity is a sister."

Zhou Baiyu pointed towards Carolyn.

Little Mantou's eyes turned blood red:

"That's right! Sister Carolyn, you're eliminated! Hahaha!"

The innocent child once again became a bloodthirsty demon.

And Carolyn's body slowly began to disintegrate, bit by bit, just like Meng Qiu.

The intense smell of burnt paper arose again; Carolyn, like yellow paper thrown into a fire pit, began to turn to dust.

"Everyone liked me..."

"No one would refuse my requests."

"I've always been struggling to live!"

"I just wanted to survive. Although I couldn't reach the place I wanted to... looking at the scenery outside through the train window, I was quite content!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to die!"

In her wailing, Carolyn's figure completely vanished.

After Carolyn disappeared, Zhou Baiyu was the first to catch the baby.

For some reason, being held by Zhou Baiyu made the baby somewhat uneasy.

Zhou Baiyu looked at the baby kindly and even started rocking it:

"Be good, don't think that just because I don't understand what you say, you can easily win. It's your turn now."

If this had been said earlier, the baby wouldn't have cared and would have only mocked Zhou Baiyu's arrogance.

After all, usually, it's the ordinary passengers who fear the rule-based passengers.

But now it was different.

The game initiated by Zhou Baiyu had already defeated two rule-based passengers.

And the salesperson, seeing the second rule-based passenger disappearing, felt sorrow for the fate shared with his companion.

The identities of the two humans remained elusive.

These two humans seemed very adept at hiding their true intentions.

"The two of us guess yours; there are only so many identities, how long can you hide?"

The baby suddenly started crying loudly.

Zhou Baiyu gently patted the baby's back, like a kind old father.

Meanwhile, attendant number two brought the latest news—

[You have eliminated the second rule-based passenger. According to the rules, if you eliminate any more rule-based passengers, you will become a VIP.

VIPs can move to the much nicer VIP carriage.

When all rule-based passengers are removed by you, we will replace them, and additionally, the rule-based passengers will no longer hassle you.]

[Little Mantou's favorability has increased. Since Little Mantou has increased favorability three times, you can make one request of Little Mantou.]

It was time to make a choice.

Zhou Baiyu actually wasn't interested in becoming a VIP.

In the VIP carriage, there would inevitably be bigger pitfalls waiting for him.

Compared to the passengers on the train, the train itself was the most terrifying rule.

Thus Zhou Baiyu had to calculate a boundary line—

Continuing to eliminate rule-based passengers would inevitably make him a VIP.

"If it were just me alone, becoming a VIP, exploring the mysteries of the train itself, and looking into why the train holds so many strange, corrupt types… would be a more attractive choice."

"But now it's not just me, there's also Huang Miu here."

"The words of attendant number two are guiding me to kill more rule-based passengers, but even if the rule-based passengers stop harassing me, it doesn't mean the rules themselves will let me go..."

"Constantly dealing with rules through a fourteen-day journey, I'm not sure I can deal with all the rules and survive."

"So, I need to maintain the current situation."

Zhou Baiyu, looking at the now slightly frightened baby, and glancing at the equally fearful salesperson, had an idea.
