Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

After all, this isn't really "Qingyu" and "Chiye".

This is just one of the other Holy Sanctuary people in the Brain Hole World—a conceptual form.

Although Qing and Chi were heavily injured and their ability to move was greatly diminished, Qing Chi hadn't completely lost their vitality.

Number One had also discovered—

They were very hard to kill.

But having something to fight made Number One very happy.

"Constant destruction brings continuous challenges, and I love this world so much!"

Now the appearance of black and purple in the Mirror Maze made Number One feel a slight sense of crisis.

And Number One loved this sense of crisis more than anything.

Through the mirror—

Number One realized that he had three stars above his head in his own view.

So he easily thought, could this be some kind of ranking?

He swung his great sword and began to wildly sweep through, smashing countless mirrors into pieces.

Numerous shards of glass danced throughout the scene.

Fragments of countless mirrors reflected a corner of the scene—

Number One's small face, the shattered space, and the indifferent figures of Qing, Chi, black, and purple,

were all reflected by countless tiny broken mirror pieces.

And the next second...

Number One's head now had four stars instead of three.

"As expected, I'm curious, when I reach five stars, how will this world welcome me!"

Number One, with off-the-charts power levels, had some similarities with Zhou Baiyu.

He also liked to think, although most of the time, people were blinded by Number One's madness.

Number One had actually come to the same conclusion as Zhou Baiyu had—

If destruction of the world leads to a manhunt, it means that destroying this world is not allowed.

So, if he continued to destruct, that must be something the opponents didn't want to see.

If the opponents didn't want to see it, that meant continuous destruction could create a situation disadvantageous to the creators of the world.

That was the situation Number One wanted.

And he was much stronger than Seamer now.

So even though he had reached three stars, it seemed that the situation hadn't changed much for Number One.

Number One had a feeling that when his threat level reached five stars, something would definitely change in this world.

...

...

In version 1.6 of the Brain Hole World of the Blue Hole,

while Zhou Baiyu, Seamer, and Number One were all searching for the secrets of the Brain Hole World—

someone seemed to have already figured out the rules of this chaotic world.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly stopped because at that moment, he heard a voice.

"Seamer being sucked into the Brain Hole was actually my arrangement; I originally hoped to leave something for Seamer."

"But unexpectedly... in the Brain Hole World, there is an existence even more intriguing than Seamer."

The voice didn't appear in Zhou Baiyu's mind, but... emerged in his memory.

Seamer looked at Zhou Baiyu quizzically:

"Why did you stop again? You better explain it clearly!"

Seamer was angry, but Zhou Baiyu couldn't care less about Seamer.

His memory seemed to be tampered with in real time.

"I am in the scene formed by your memories, this is a living room in a house. Your parents seem to be very interesting people."

"The ability of the Blue Hole is to pull people into the Brain Hole World as a modification tool for the owner of the Holy Sanctuary, which solidifies its power. Ah, sorry, these things are a bit esoteric to talk about."

"I saw you investigating me from your past memory scene."

"You are quite good, even my former teacher didn't notice me, but you did."

"Don't worry, I haven't modified your memory because I need to make sure you remain who you are."

"However, I found a scene in your memory that left a deep impression on you, and by altering some memories that won't affect you, I've been able to communicate with you."

Many years ago, Zhou Baiyu and his parents were together in the living room, a happy family of three.

The father was playing a new composition by Yu Ji, the mother was playing games, and the child, Zhou Baiyu, was doing his homework.

The content of the homework was about his own parents. The young Zhou Baiyu had a deep impression of this event.

He was like this at times, suddenly deeply impressed by an utterly ordinary scene—

and even able to remember the content of the essay he had written.

At that time, a man dressed in a white lab coat arrived at the scene.

He replaced the record in the record player with his favorite, "Dance of the Gods."

He smiled at Mr. Zhou Zeshui, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Meanwhile, he wrote down some dialogue in a notebook.

This dialogue replaced the composition about his parents that originally existed in Zhou Baiyu's memory.

Instead, it turned into an ancient revelation—

At this moment, the dialogue in Zhou Baiyu's memory came from—

This mysterious man who had entered his Memory World.

Zhou Baiyu soon realized this and said to the Seamer,

"There's nothing special about this scene, but I need to think about something. Don't rush me. I'll tell you the result once I've thought it through."

The Seamer had no choice but to trust him, after all, it seemed there was no other option.

Zhou Baiyu began to try hard to recall.

He remembered many years ago, as a child, watching his mother play video games and his father listen to music—

The words he had written down.

Those words were supposed to be: Today is yet another day of Mom being engrossed in video games and Dad hearing only music.

But now, it had become a message left by a mysterious man.

Zhou Baiyu closed his eyes and recalled earnestly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Ye, and I am the father of Bai Ling whom you have been searching for."

"How does it feel to find that the person you have been searching for is inside your own memories? Isn't it marvelous?"

"Of course, you cannot converse with me in your memory, but next, I'm going to tell you some moves to make."

"Though the Brain Hole World of Qing Chi is shattered, I have still managed to decipher some patterns. You have to try hard to remember, don't miss what I'm saying."

"I reckon you might really want to meet me in person, to chat about the Holy Sanctuary and my daughter."

"I'm also interested in you, Mr. Zhou Baiyu. Or should I say—Mr. Jiang Xianwu."

The clues left by Bai Ye left Zhou Baiyu astounded.

Unexpectedly, while he had been infiltrating Bai Ye's Memory World to hide the painting of the family of three in a safe—

Bai Ye had also infiltrated his own Memory World.

Even more, Bai Ye's modifications were more direct, overtly changing a childhood essay of his, so now recalling the content of that composition allowed him to remember what Bai Ye had said.

This operation was unheard of by Zhou Baiyu.

It was evident that Bai Ye was extremely familiar with Qing Chi's Brain Hole World.

This person was very adept at exploiting the rules. But that wasn't what made Zhou Baiyu most uncomfortable.

The central point of this recruitment—finding relevant personnel's memory scenes first.

Seamer, Player One, Bai Ye, Qing Chi.

In Zhou Baiyu's view, finding the memory scene of any of them and modifying it could solve many riddles, or create a favorable situation for the future.

He too had to think hard about the correct path in the Brain Hole World's Mirror Maze of Qing Chi or, rather—the rules to find a specific target.

And now, Bai Ye had become the first to decipher the rules.

This was the worst part.

For some reason, Zhou Baiyu felt... from the tone of Bai Ye's words—

he didn't get the feeling of "everyone is Bai Ling's good father."

Inexplicably, he sensed a malevolent feeling, which made Zhou Baiyu quite uncomfortable.

"I have explored many places in your mind; you are a very interesting person."

"Before you became a pioneer, you hardly had any friends. Yet, after becoming a pioneer, you met many people of different levels."

"I even found that in a certain scene filled with countless statues, my daughter was there, and even Seamer was there, as well as my friend—Huang Miu."

"Honestly, I never expected to find someone who, like me, had interactions with several of them."

Seamer?

Seamer indeed had connections with Bai Ye?

Zhou Baiyu was overwhelmed by this information and subconsciously glanced at Seamer next to him.

In his mind, the images of Seamer and Bai Ling flashed by.

In that moment—

Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt as if he had clarified many questions.

"You must be wondering, since Bai Ling is my daughter, what then is my relationship with Seamer."

"When you meet me, I will answer this question. I will also tell you how to find me, after all, I have already obtained what I wanted."

"But before that, I would like to test your imagination."

"Mr. Zhou Baiyu, please solve a riddle—"

"Guess, why is it called the Gu Tower?"
