Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

The map reaches its limit, and the dagger is revealed.

Bai Ye calmly looked at Zhou Baiyu, who at this moment couldn't tell which version Bai Ye came from.

The current Bai Ye seemed to already know a lot about the Seamer and Bai Ling, as well as the entangled grievances and gratitude between himself and these two.

Perhaps from version 2.49?

But that isn't what's most important anymore. What's most important is—Bai Ye's words contained a lot of information.

Bai Ye's gaze held no evasion, betting on Zhou Baiyu's skill in "reading comprehension."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Baiyu slowly spoke:

"Life link?"

"Correct answer. Killing me, actually, is quite straightforward, but all those who have been 'cultivated' by me will die."

Bai Ye took a step forward, drawing a step closer to Zhou Baiyu.

He looked at Zhou Baiyu very gently:

"My daughter is rather adorable, isn't she? Even though she has fallen into corruption, throughout her growth, she has gradually... shed that corrupt shell and turned into the appearance of a lovely young girl."

"She and her mother have both been 'cultivated' by me. If you kill me, such Twin Flowers will wither together. Do you truly have the heart to do it?"

"Think about it, what she has lived through beneath the apocalypse."

With a smile as he spoke these words, Bai Ye made Zhou Baiyu feel an extreme loathing for the man before him.

"So between us, there are no secrets anymore. I indeed wish to establish a deep friendship with Mr. Zhou Baiyu."

"Sharing hearts, sharing life. If I die, you die too. Isn't such a friendship touching?"

If I die, you also die. But if you die, I will not die.

Is this what you call sharing life?

Zhou Baiyu seemed to see, that indeed there were no secrets left between them.

"I do have people for whom I would fight to the death, quite a few in fact, but unfortunately, you do not qualify."

Zhou Baiyu said calmly.

His expression gradually adopted Bai Ye's mannerisms, using the same demeanor, the same emotion and tone of voice.

In sync with the great orator, he conveyed that detestable quality that was so characteristic of the other.

Sure enough, with the support of the great orator trait, Bai Ye sensed that sense of superiority and pride embedded deep within Zhou Baiyu's bones.

He frowned slightly but soon his expression eased.

He wouldn't be angry at Zhou Baiyu.

Even though on the surface, it seemed he no longer had any chance of collaborating with Zhou Baiyu.

Who could foresee the arrangements of fate?

Like Zhou Baiyu, with so many labels, and each one so demanding as to be almost unattainable...

With odds calculating close to zero, Bai Ye originally thought that such a rare "species" didn't exist.

He even considered, if after a while he didn't meet such a person, he would refresh the search for an easier target.

After all, though humans are numerous, after filtering through layers, to select someone with a few specific rare characteristics—it's quite rare.

Many think that certain types of people are abundant, but it's only because these types have drawn too much attention.

It's like, earnings of a hundred thousand per month, height of 185 cm, under 30 years of age, single and childless, with easy-going parents, owning a car and house without debt, unconditionally doting on their partner, love struck, a social wizard, high emotional intelligence, high education, diligent, loving household chores, and great at cooking. Non-smoker, non-drinker, doesn't gamble or play games, with eyes only for career and women, who regularly buys bags and gifts...

To some, these seem like very reasonable expectations, such individuals should be everywhere on the streets, and if one hasn't met them, it's just because fate has not arrived yet.

But in reality, those who meet all the above criteria— are almost nonexistent. They would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

In Bai Ye's eyes, Zhou Baiyu had even more labels, with an even higher degree of rarity; Bai Ye was not one of those dreamers.

He was very clear that such a target was nearly impossible to find.

For instance, having deep bonds with the corrupted, the Reversers, the Clean Walkers, the Pioneers, the Demons, and also sharing a life-or-death connection...

This point alone nearly dismissed all the people Bai Ye was aware of...

Not to mention other personalized labels.

Such labels made it so that Bai Ye couldn't even "custom-order" one.

After all, among Bai Ling's labels, all that was required was to grow up in a loving environment...

But other kinds of situations, such as being a gambler, a lucky one, a man of a thousand faces...

These are things he himself could not achieve, let alone expect his children to.

Bai Ye almost believed that such a person could not exist. Just as he was about to give up— he happened to meet Zhou Baiyu.

This recent confrontation with the Blue Hole revealed a seed that appeared almost "custom-made."

As a gardener, of course he longed to cultivate the other. It's just that cultivation required a "ritual."

Bai Ling goes without saying, in the process of Bai Ling being born and growing into a little girl, there were plenty of opportunities for Bai Ye to complete the ritual.

Apart from Bai Ling, the Seamer likewise had contact with Bai Ye.

But Zhou Baiyu was different.

Zhou Baiyu was different from Bai Ling and the Seamer because at this point, Zhou Baiyu was no longer a blank slate; on the contrary, he was more troublesome.

Looking at the Reverse Corrupted Zhou Baiyu, Bai Ye knew that managing to complete the ritual on their first meeting was unlikely.

He wouldn't give up on Zhou Baiyu. If Zhou Baiyu had not appeared, he might have abandoned that demanding cultivation.

But Zhou Baiyu appeared, and he would try everything to establish a "ritual" with Zhou Baiyu.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye was also curious to see how far the Seamer and Bai Ling could go.
