Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

At two in the afternoon, Zhang Haoyun woke up.

She had recently dreamed a dream that was bloody, forbidden, yet filled with joy.

In her dream, she had transformed into a figure everybody feared. The people who had bullied her, her father, mother, younger brother, and those men who had taken her friends away...

All had been killed by her, one by one.

This dream seemed endless, and even after waking up, when Zhang Haoyun was washing up in front of the mirror...

She finally saw the anomaly on her body, the eye within the tattoo pattern on her shoulder... had opened.

She was initially surprised, but not afraid. It felt like she was watching a flower blooming.

In fact, last night, she had been wondering why she could easily tear apart those men waiting to pounce on her in the dark alley.

Even after killing those people, she felt no fear at all, only the pleasure of release.

She could distinctly feel that she had undergone some kind of transformation. Although the voices in her head had quieted down a lot after the killing, they seemed ready to roar back to life at any moment.

Zhang Haoyun tried something and found she could naturally control those eyes, which closed as soon as she thought about it.

A new day began. But this day was particularly special for Zhang Haoyun.

She left her rented room to buy some food and unexpectedly ran into the young man from the previous day.

In the bustling crowd of the neighborhood, she spotted Zhou Baiyu in a single glance.

To Zhang Haoyun, Zhou Baiyu seemed to naturally carry a certain allure.

It was as if everyone else was captured with a standard camera, while only he, Zhou Baiyu, was taken with a beauty-enhancing camera.

Zhou Baiyu was very nervous now, his heart pounding.

This neighborhood was considered the "slum" of Linxiang City, with a high population density and many passersby.

In other words, if a conflict arose here, many innocent people would be affected.

Meanwhile… he was also pondering over something, how he could take out Zhang Haoyun without implicating his real identity?

This was indeed a troublesome matter, even wild, like an ordinary person planning to take down a superhuman.

However, the developments that followed weren't at all what Zhou Baiyu had anticipated.

"You... you don't live here, do you? Do you remember me? How come you're here?"

Upon seeing Zhou Baiyu, Zhang Haoyun actually jogged over to him, still in last night's clothes and reeking of alcohol.

Her big eyes looked at Zhou Baiyu, unable to hide her happiness.

Zhou Baiyu was a bit flustered by such a gaze:

"Eh, not just remember, but impressively so. Actually, I had someone inquire for me, then came specifically to find you. Really, I was feeling very upset yesterday, pressurized into a blind date by my family, which made me depressed. But after I returned home, I kept... thinking about you.

I'm very sorry, I appeared quite rude yesterday. But the truth is, from the moment I saw you, I felt a closeness, completely different from everyone around."

He was actually very confused at this point, but even so, he managed to smoothly deliver these words.

Once he finished, Zhou Baiyu himself was a bit scared.

Damn, what was going on with him, a pure playboy reaction, unconsciously speaking those lines.

At that moment, he had again put himself in the kind of acting mode he needed when facing Midel.

But Zhang Haoyun beamed with delight, as happy as a child praised by a teacher.

If anyone else had said that, she would have found it cheesy. But coming from Zhou Baiyu, it felt completely different.

Because she felt the same way about Zhou Baiyu.

Suddenly having gained incredible powers, and now meeting someone who made her happy...

For the first time in her life, Zhang Haoyun felt that her name had meaning, capable of bringing her good luck.

"I'm Zhang Haoyun, and you are?"

"Zhou Baiyu. I actually asked around about you, so I was able to find this place." Zhou Baiyu contemplated for a short second whether to use his real name or not.

In the end, he decided to use his real name.

Zhang Haoyun didn't mind and said:

"So... should we redo what we were supposed to do last night?"

"You mean?"

A girl from the nightclubs, very assertive, Zhang Haoyun was not coy in the least:

"Let's have a meal, set up a date to talk about each other's situations. You were on a blind date yesterday, right? I can be considered one of your prospects now. You suddenly ran off, shouldn't we complete the process?"

Although the current situation was not unfamiliar, as Zhou Baiyu had experienced it before at Hanging Corpse Hospital.

He still felt very anxious.

This anxiety stemmed from the fact that this was the real world, the place where he had survived from childhood to adulthood.

If he was careless, he was very worried that he might anger this corrupted kind.

However, Zhou Baiyu was very clear inside; what needed to be done now was to gain the target's trust.

To find an opportunity, at the right place, the right time... to complete the mission.

With many thoughts flashing through his mind and the anxiety on his face, in Zhang Haoyun's eyes, it just looked like this man was nervous.

It is said that men only show such an expression when they see a woman they like.

This made Zhang Haoyun feel very happy, you see, women are really easy to deceive sometimes.

Her looks certainly didn't lack men's admiration, but due to her nightlife mingling, coupled with some human sobriety, she always maintained a distant attitude toward love.

However, the temperament Zhou Baiyu possessed seemed to have an especially strong effect on her.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly noticed that Zhang Haoyun's eyes were very clear.

"Can you wait for me to change my clothes? I want to cover the tattoos on my body."

"Oh, okay."

Zhou Baiyu had already noticed the black line hidden within the tattoos. It looked like several black strokes, hardly drawing any attention.

While Zhang Haoyun went back to change her clothes, he thought of the scarlet pupils in the corrupted, and then recalled the cleanliness and innocence in Zhang Haoyun's eyes just now.

This dissonance made him somewhat irritable.

Zhang Haoyun wasn't wearing makeup, and unlike those women in the night scene who needed to wear heavy makeup, she was naturally beautiful.

So she didn't make Zhou Baiyu wait too long; she really just changed her clothes, covered her tattoos, and came out.

She put on a blue and white denim jacket, changed into sneakers, wore somewhat faded jeans, and she wore a white sports tank top that showed her midriff, looking quite youthful and energetic.

Clothes make the man; although all were cheap, dressed like this, Zhang Haoyun's entire demeanor changed.

The so-called air of dust vanished in an instant.

Zhou Baiyu had to admit, the only thing left in this girl now was youthful beauty.

"Do you believe in fate? I didn't used to, but when I saw you yesterday, I really felt like I had known you for a long time."

"Zhou Baiyu, I feel like meeting you... something very good will happen. Oh, right, this itself is already something good!"

Zhang Haoyun looked directly at Zhou Baiyu with her big eyes, previously thinking that in this world, at most, there was lust at first sight, not love at first sight.

But after seeing Zhou Baiyu, her thoughts changed.

This straightforwardness, others simply couldn't handle, or rather, if Zhou Baiyu didn't know Zhang Haoyun was a corrupted kind... he might have thought about starting a relationship.

But Zhou Baiyu knew the reason.

It wasn't because he was handsome, nor because he could bring good luck to Zhang Haoyun. It was the special aura of the God of Difference and Chaos.

As a pioneer, killing a corrupted kind, especially one who had committed murder against ordinary people, should not leave any guilt.

Moreover, the rewards given for the defense task were universal items valid across all versions, which were extremely important for anyone.

However, looking at the clean and pure quality emanating from Zhang Haoyun's eyes, he increasingly felt that this girl was not so unforgivable.

"Let's go, let's walk and talk!"

"Okay."

Zhang Haoyun bloomed with a radiant smile.

Along the way, she took the initiative in finding topics, unreservedly showing her admiration and curiosity towards Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu also responded while carefully observing, and the more he observed, the more he felt... this girl wasn't inherently bad.

It wasn't that he was smitten by a beauty's charm, nor did he think the corrupted kind weren't dangerous, but rather, Zhang Haoyun still retained much of what made her "human."

She didn't resemble a corrupted kind; she was more like a human who had gained corrupted power.

"I don't have the ability to kill her, but if her nature isn't bad, then perhaps... I can guide her?"

Suddenly, Lin's words emerged in Zhou Baiyu's mind—

So as a follower of the God of Difference and Chaos, you need to understand something, no matter what the outcome you see, as long as you want to stir trouble, want to muddy the waters, you should boldly do it.

With this thought, he suddenly saw the light.
