Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

[Trial Mission: Unexpected Encounter in Linxiang City.]

[Difficulty: Unknown.]

Trial Requirements: Your unique chaotic constitution means you will always encounter various unpredictable and strange unstable factors during the trial.

This also makes the difficulty of your trial hard to predict.

Mission Success Conditions: Survive for a full 24 hours.

Mission Failure Conditions: Death of oneself.

Mission Completion Reward: Unknown.]

Zhou Baiyu didn't notice anything special when she read the mission trial announcement.

"It's rare to have a summons where survival alone is enough. And it's quite clear; the more intelligence we gather, the higher the clearance evaluation and the richer the rewards," she said.

"It's just really strange, what exactly is the unexpected encounter mentioned?"

Although she knew she possessed the "noble" temperament bestowed by the God of Difference and Chaos.

Zhou Baiyu truly hadn't expected an unexpected encounter to arise so quickly.

Nowadays, when dealing with these matters, Zhou Baiyu hardly felt any internal turbulence anymore.

She was very calm and, as always, left some simple written intelligence for the others in the house, making some reminders so they would know what had happened.

Everyone else did the same, and they had all developed an understanding.

Once entering a summons, they would leave some clues, for according to the rules, they couldn't mention anything related to the summon.

Even someone as strong as Zhou Baiyu and Guang Tongchen might bleed from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose when trying to talk about certain matters.

This was a warning. Not even veiled speech was allowed.

It seemed there were certain rules that would subjectively judge their consciousness.

No one dared to challenge these rules. If they were erased, there would be nothing left.

But everyone knew that a person who left many traces in society could cause problems if they suddenly disappeared.

So they all left letters, informing others on how to "cover" for each other.

After leaving the letter, Zhou Baiyu entered the transfer station.

...

...

Inside the transfer station, Lin's spirit was visibly much better.

The news of Mel not being dead had cheered her up in the past few days.

In the endless confinement of their past, such joy was a luxury.

Those among them were used to seeing the life and death of disciples, thus they shared sorrow in death and joy in life.

However, when Lin saw Zhou Baiyu, her smile did not bear any trace of a façade; it was a smile from the heart.

"There's another summons, little brother," Lin said as she flipped her hair and gave Zhou Baiyu a flirtatious look, then turned around to prepare him a drink.

Zhou Baiyu had also become accustomed to Lin's flirtatious gestures.

Lin was a very charming and beautiful woman. She must have been very popular during the era she and Mel were active.

"This summons seem pretty ordinary, whether it's the version or the clearance conditions, everything seems standard. But the more ordinary it appears, the more you can't let your guard down," he said.

"You know, if the gods above our heads are the rules, then an existence like you must have already attracted some individual rules—aimed specifically at you."

"Consistently achieving SSS-rank and continuously approaching the truth of divinity, you may encounter ordinary summons in the future, but the chances will definitely be low," Lin mused as she finished preparing the drink.

"Oh, how interesting, the quality of this drink is high, which is good but according to the Law of Karma, with your luck being so good now, you're bound to run into big trouble later."

Zhou Baiyu replied with a laugh,

"I don't like this law; it needs to be changed."

His manner of speaking seemed to have a bit of a patriarchal attitude.

Zhou Baiyu's intuition was very sharp.

The last time he saw the word "unexpected encounter," he met the Odd Train and Huang Miu.

But he now had the ability to summon the Odd Train at will.

So, theoretically, the Odd Train shouldn't count as an unexpected encounter for him anymore.

Combining his noble temperament from the God of Difference and Chaos, Zhou Baiyu had a vague guess about a possibility.

So he asked a question,

"Lin, before I head to this summons, could you tell me something?"

"Tell me, what is it?"

"The Holy Sanctuary."

Lin was taken aback.

Zhou Baiyu watched the change in Lin's expression, which clearly had a hint of confusion.

"I'm not clear about the Holy Sanctuary, where did you hear about this?"

"Teacher, I am your proudest disciple... If you don't trust me, then we—"

"I really don't know, to be precise, it's not that I don't know, but that the term is very unfamiliar to me."

Lin responded to Zhou Baiyu earnestly, her tone sincere and not seeming feigned.

"Then what about the 2.0 version, Nightmare Bridge, those people who were saved by Guang Tongchen, by the unparalleled... You don't know why they needed to be saved either?"

Zhou Baiyu was still doubtful.

But Lin was quite straightforward,

"We don't know about those people either. Honestly, our era is over, and although we do know a lot about the pioneers and some history related to the origins,

we are from the old world, and we're unaware of the games happening in this new world."

"However, anything that is associated with the word 'Holy', as well as being a main quest target in such a crucial version like 2.0, must be significant."

Lin was smart.

Although Zhou Baiyu only mentioned the name of the Holy Sanctuary, Lin had already guessed that perhaps the people—saved in Nightmare Bridge by many legendary pioneers—came from the Holy Sanctuary.
