Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Only the areas under the control of the Eternal Night, the lord of nightmares who has already been divinely enthroned within the Dream of Void, are not reset by the divine treasures of the gods.

That is to say, only one dream is not reset. Because the power of the cycle cannot reach the divine treasures of the gods.

Just like the past few days, Mark continued to turn Zhou Baiyu's experiences into dreams and infuse them into Zhou Baiyu.

He did not mix in any personal agendas.

In fact, Zhou Baiyu was also worried that if he relied too much on Mark's dreams to counteract the cycle, he might be taken advantage of by Mark when he was vulnerable.

But he underestimated Mark.

Mark's reasoning went like this:

"You underestimate my intelligence and morality. I am saddened, my friend."

"I believe you can certainly break the cycle, otherwise if you cannot, then however much I influence you would be meaningless."

"And if you can break the cycle, then you will naturally remember everything that happened during the cycle. At that time, if I really mixed in some... unreal experiences in the dreams, then I would only be abhorred by you."

"Of course, I would not want to be abhorred by you, that's a moral consideration."

Mark's response left Zhou Baiyu with no objections to raise.

The logic was sound; as long as he broke the cycle, then everything that happened during it would come to mind.

...

It was six in the morning.

Zhou Baiyu woke up once again, feeling the memories in his mind, and quickly recalled his thoughts at the moment of parting from Lin.

"The real world won't do, the transfer station won't do, that only leaves entering the Advanced World as an option."

"Although I am a Mutator, my abilities are sealed in this world."

"In the current version, pioneers still cannot use power in the Third World. So right now, to break the situation, I must rely on a third-party force."

The current situation wasn't dangerous, the difficulty was that everything would cycle, rendering all efforts back to zero.

But with external help, it would be different.

After washing up again, Zhou Baiyu did not gather everyone today. Because he was very clear that such searching held little meaning.

However, before preparing to do the real work and start the new trial for the day, Zhou Baiyu left a letter.

The content of the letter described his recent experiences.

It seemed pointless, because once the cycle began, the letter would disappear.

But Zhou Baiyu wrote the letter anyway, because he had a premonition—this attempt would definitely break the deadlock.

While writing the letter, Zhou Baiyu reminisced about his experiences over the past two years...

"Unconsciously, I have been a pioneer for so long."

He smiled, his smile carrying a certain resolve.

"Being a hero sure is addicting."

After writing the letter, Zhou Baiyu drafted a text message using his spare phone, with a scheduled send time.

The recipients were his parents.

Having done all this, Zhou Baiyu stretched satisfactorily.

He then opened a ride-hailing app and called for a car. This time Zhou Baiyu did not choose to go for an interview.

He opted to head for the suburbs.

Having reached the suburb, Zhou Baiyu alighted from the car and walked for several hours, reaching the undeveloped wilderness.

By the time he arrived at his destination, it was noon.

He found an open area in a meadow.

This place, seldom touched by humans, could still be found, even in an era of highly advanced technology and extensive urbanization.

Zhou Baiyu was looking for such a place.

Because next, he was going to try something new.

He had tried to break the cycle with self-awareness, he had tried searching the city for pollution sources to break the cycle, he had also tried entering the transfer station to break the cycle...

All these attempts had failed.

The only method Zhou Baiyu could think of was the last resort.

"I thought it would be used later, but unexpectedly, it needs to be used now. Although it's marked as an all-version item... it's really uncertain whether it can work in the real world."

There were many treasures in Zhou Baiyu's inventory: shoes that gathered karma, two divine treasures, Lin's notes, the Book of Chaos, the Indeterminate Key.

And—the friendship of the train conductor.

This was also Zhou Baiyu's last straw.

Defensive mode was actually aimed at the life of the whole world, every time.

But the answer for every defensive mode came from experiences in the Advanced World.

All kinds of all-version items from the Advanced World were like props from Doraemon's pocket.

The more times someone has cleared with an SSS-rating, the more items they get, and the more likely they are to find a way out of various desperate situations.

You might think an item is meant for scenario A, but in reality, it might have an unexpected effect in scenario B.

Take, for example—the friendship of the conductor.

Zhou Baiyu had originally thought it was something he would use to escape in the Advanced World.

But unexpectedly, it had now become a lifesaver in the real world.

Zhou Baiyu recalled the conductor's words:

"After putting on this badge, silently chant 'Fair, Just, Holy' three times in your heart, and the train will appear within seventy-seven seconds."

He put on the friendship of the conductor and then chanted silently in his heart:

"Fair, Just, Holy, Fair, Just..."

After chanting three times, Zhou Baiyu felt a mix of excitement and fear.

He anticipated the arrival of the train and feared that it might not come.

If this thing didn't work—there was no way out of the current situation.

It wasn't like he could really let the chairman go on a rampage, right?

Luckily, seventy-seven seconds passed quickly.

A tremendous golden glow lit up this desolate land.

A circular gate appeared from the sky, like a crack breaking through dimensions.

From within this massive crack, the golden head of the train appeared.

The golden carriages manifested across the sky, they traveled through the void, resembling a golden dragon dancing in the heavens.

After winding a few times, a carriage door of the peculiar train opened.

The mustached attendant No. 2 gestured to Zhou Baiyu:

"Welcome, welcome, esteemed friend of the conductor! Whatever your request, wherever you wish to go! Please enter inside the train! As a VIP guest of the conductor, this train will stay for seven minutes!"

Seven minutes?

Indeed, it was VIP treatment.

Zhou Baiyu was now excited, but he was also calm.

"I need to speak with attendant No. 1."

"Is my service unsatisfactory to you? Even as a VIP, you must follow the rules, and today's rule is that I serve you~"

No. 2 was not accommodating.

Zhou Baiyu thought for a moment, realizing he was being too polite, and directly shouted into the carriage:

"I need to speak with Mel—"

"Shh! Why are you shouting so loud! I will notify No. 1 immediately! Shut up! Shut up! Damn it, don't mention that name!"

Attendant No. 2 was so frightened that his mustache curled up. It was really lethal to call out that name directly!

No. 2 disappeared in a puff of smoke.

In less than three minutes, attendant No. 1, with a spiral mask, appeared.

Although he couldn't see the face of attendant No. 1, Zhou Baiyu could sense the confusion emanating from the figure standing at the edge of the massive golden carriage.

Zhou Baiyu was also gambling, and he wasn't completely certain.

Clearly, the current scene and the reaction of attendant No. 2 proved he had gambled correctly.

Attendant No. 1 seemed to sense something, she didn't invite Zhou Baiyu on board, but instead jumped straight down from the golden carriage.

She came to Zhou Baiyu's side, but it was notable that the aura of the golden carriage always enveloped her.

"Lin, have I mentioned my mask to you? Never mind, that's not important. Once you board the train, I'll talk to you about these things. You have three minutes left. Do you want to go in and talk?"

Zhou Baiyu of course wanted to go in.

But he had a question now.

The peculiar train, reputed to be able to go anywhere, just needed a corresponding trade.

This meant he could use the peculiar train to find the source of the contamination.

But here was the problem.

"Where is the source of contamination? You should know what I'm asking about. The Advanced World's pioneers are all trapped, and this is not good news for you either, right?"

Mel looked seriously at Zhou Baiyu and said:

"The answer to this question will also be considered as part of the trade, fair, just, holy, you should understand, once I tell you the answer, you'll need to do a job for us."

"No problem," Zhou Baiyu agreed readily.

"Alright, I can tell you, the contamination source is in a very dangerous place, not in the real world."

Zhou Baiyu understood, no wonder they blocked access to the Advanced World, the source was actually in the Advanced World.

"I have one last question, I might not be able to resolve this crisis alone, can I bring a partner with me?"
