Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

The first meeting, far from perfect, but confirming Zhou Baiyu's existence, was already a pleasantly surprising event.

Bai Ye knew that this meeting was about to end, and it was time to part ways.

He said to Zhou Baiyu:

"You know, destroying things here will get you wanted, and when a five-star warrant appears, the person wanted with five stars will attract the attention of everyone in the Brain Hole World of the Blue Hole."

"Mr. Zhou Baiyu, by that time, the showdown between me and the Blue Hole will result in a conclusion."

"I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, although killing me would mean Ling'er and Seamer would die, as long as you don't kill me, just trapping me will do."

"But I have to tell you, you can't hold me. Rather than betting on that possibility, you'd better hurry up and join Seamer to stop that Reverser."

Zhou Baiyu was taken aback; Bai Ye seemed to have calculated everything.

But speaking of which...

Did Bai Ye know that a corner of his Memory World had already been found by him?

He had already placed a picture into Bai Ye's "safe."

It seemed Bai Ye hadn't noticed this.

Nor did he know if this act of his would create a butterfly effect in the future.

Clearly, he could not yet see the changes brought about by this move; Zhou Baiyu quickly reviewed this experience—

Bai Ye's goal was to gamble with the Blue Hole. It was hard to say, at this point, if Bai Ye or the Blue Hole was winning or losing.

The showdown between the two sons of the Holy Sanctuary was still at a critical stage.

At the same time, Bai Ye had discovered his existence, and his appearance was a great surprise to Bai Ye, hence Bai Ye took the risk of being wanted—

He altered his own memories.

If Reverser number one was not wanted, then Bai Ye should have been too busy to care about anything else, frantically avoiding Law Enforcers.

But the rampant destruction by Reverser number one had caused the Law Enforcers who were originally capturing Seamer to retreat, and also allowed Bai Ye to escape a disaster.

And Bai Ye had established a life link with Bai Ling and Seamer.

If Bai Ye were killed, Seamer would die, which was a double celebration, but Bai Ling would also die, which Zhou Baiyu could not accept.

At the same time, Bai Ye's "cultivation" should have additional benefits.

This benefit, Bai Ye had not yet revealed.

However, since Bai Ye was confident he could retreat unscathed right under his nose, that meant he might have obtained some power from Bai Ling and Seamer.

Lastly—

He had been targeted by Bai Ye.

Because of the power of All Gods' Treasure Void Dream, Bai Ye did not dare to launch too powerful a mental attack on him, but in the future, Bai Ye would certainly "persuade" him from various angles.

The prologue to Sanctuary's Son was slowly unveiling.

This mysterious new force would also surely join in the competition of many forces in the future.

When the first god appeared in Longxia, Longxia's barriers would disappear.

Zhou Baiyu always felt that day was not too far off.

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou Baiyu. I have things to do, and I look forward to a time when you no longer harbor any grudges against me," he said.

Bai Ye walked toward the door, then suddenly thought of something and said excitedly:

"Oh, and please protect Seamer. Although Seamer's death won't kill Ling'er or myself, if Seamer dies... the information I left deep in his mind will no longer be found."

Zhou Baiyu was surprised.

Bai Ye continued:

"I can't just care for one flower. Ling'er doesn't need too much influence from me; she has already established a deep friendship with you."

"As for Seamer, I have buried the secrets of the Holy Sanctuary deep in his memories. That's also why I almost got wanted. I really want the other few from the Holy Sanctuary to see my triumphant creation."

"So, Seamer is of some value to you; it's up to you how you dig it out. At least, if you want to understand the core secrets of the Holy Sanctuary, you'll have to keep Seamer alive."

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou Baiyu. Good luck, my friend."

...

Bai Ye disappeared.

Zhou Baiyu didn't chase after him. Given the current situation, he had to stop number one.

If number one was hit with a five-star warrant, then during the showdown between Bai Ye and the Blue Hole, the Blue Hole would become distracted by all the Law Enforcers being attracted—

Causing Bai Ye to run rampant, and the showdown would end with the Blue Hole's tragic defeat.

"Currently, number one has attracted at least several Law Enforcers."

"Seamer and my own strength seem to be weaker than number one's."

"But if the Law Enforcers, Seamer, and I could join forces..."

"Perhaps we could defeat number one."

"But Bai Ye obviously couldn't tell me how to find No. 1,"

Although I already knew the correct course of action to take next, which was to find No. 1 in the Brain Hole World of the blue hole—to defeat this intruder for the blue hole and buy it some time.

But even with the right approach in mind, I didn't know the specific answer.

This Brain Hole World was too complicated; Zhou Baiyu might not even be able to find his way back.

"The complexity of this labyrinth is random," Zhou Baiyu thought. "Apart from Bai Ye and the blue hole, it's nearly impossible for anyone to truly see through this maze."

"This also means that I can't even find Seamer,"

"As a result, the time left for me is extremely pressing."

"If I can't join forces with Seamer... then the chances of Seamer dying at the hands of No. 1 are very high."

"Even the worst-case scenario might happen, where No. 1 defeats us one by one."

"But what should I do?"

Zhou Baiyu calmed himself.

At this moment, he could guess that Bai Ye was holding the winning cards.

No. 1 was rampaging, perhaps he had already reached three or even four stars?

Once No. 1 reached five stars, the blue hole's defense mechanism would compel all Law Enforcers to confront No. 1.

Without the interference of Law Enforcers, Bai Ye could do whatever he wanted.

The more time passed, the worse it was for Zhou Baiyu.

Yet the more urgent the situation, the calmer Zhou Baiyu became.

"There must be a way to break through. During the phase when I was probing the rules, there must have been some detail that could lead to a breakthrough."

Inside the blue hole's Brain Hole World, the blue hole and Bai Ye were playing a game of strategy.

But at the same time, Bai Ye was also playing a game with Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu completely calmed down and began to replay the entire process in his mind.

It started when he met Seamer by chance.

Then, the two of them began to test the rules, to figure out how to escape from this place.

They initiated the destruction of scenes, and finally realized—

A warrant appeared above Seamer's head.

Soon after, No. 1, who was causing even more chaos, made the Law Enforcers who were after Seamer give up the chase.

Wait a minute!

Zhou Baiyu suddenly caught on to something.

"Yes! This is it! The breakthrough is right here!"

"Why could the blue hole's self-defense mechanism arrest Seamer but then suddenly give up on him?"

"At first, I thought it was a system because No. 1 caused more damage, had a higher warrant level, so the Law Enforcers gave up on Seamer and chose to catch No. 1..."

"But if that's the case, why would Bai Ye, who doesn't have any stars on his warrant, move around so stealthily?"

"If No. 1's warrant level is above Seamer's one star, then No. 1 must be at least a two-star fugitive, if not higher."

"So even if Bai Ye became a one-star fugitive, according to the system, the priority would still be higher to catch No. 1!"

"But Bai Ye didn't do that. He never had a single star on his head. Bai Ye was just trying hard to stay on the edge of a certain balance point."

"This indicates... Bai Ye is very aware that once he is wanted, the blue hole will turn all the Law Enforcers to arrest him!"

"So there is no system! The abandonment of Seamer's capture was because the blue hole felt that Seamer's threat was not as great as No. 1's, and it had nothing to do with the system!"

"Yes! The blue hole is conscious! The blue hole wants to concentrate its firepower and deal with No. 1 first!"

"There are four players in this grand Brain Hole World game, me, Seamer, No. 1, Bai Ye..."

"And if the blue hole is conscious... all I need to do is let the blue hole know where I am, and it can guide me!"

"Because right now! My interests align with those of the blue hole!"

With this thought, Zhou Baiyu suddenly left the scene and arrived at a very ordinary one.

This was a factory, belonging to an old man from a city near Xiang.

The reason the old man survived, was because... he had become a part of Seamer.

Luckily as an extension, after being absorbed by the blue hole, he could still provide value.

Zhou Baiyu didn't know, if in the showdown between the blue hole and Bai Ye, should the blue hole win, whether Bai Ye would die, and if Bai Ye would die... what he himself should do.

He couldn't think that much now; he just clenched his fist and smashed it onto the conveyor belt of the factory machinery.

"Come on, lead me to find No. 1!"

(Tomorrow's update might be very late, just giving a heads-up.)
