Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

The date had begun.

At four in the afternoon, Zhang Haoyun and Zhou Baiyu went to the movie theater at Wanda Plaza. After chatting for a while in a fried chicken restaurant, they both felt that the gazes around them were making them uncomfortable, so at an inopportune time for a movie, they saw a niche film.

At the same time.

In the real world, unchallenged by his wealth, memory, influential connections, and strong backgrounds that span both power and money, he managed to locate the body.

He began to analyze the strength of the corrupt seed, his methods, and whether there was a scent left when tearing apart his opponents.

The real name of Huan Liuyan was Li Yanran.

In version 2.0 of Nightmare Bridge, as a devotee of the Time and Space God and a third-order Time Abyss Traveler, she was no less impressive than the unbeatable and Guang Tongchen.

Therefore, Huan Liuyan had obtained a prop that could be used in the real world, a peculiar perfume that made people unconsciously speak the truth.

With their cooperation, they had almost secured a massive advantage.

One could say they were significantly ahead of the other forerunners.

"The murderer acted in bar street, and it's very likely to be a female."

"But that alone isn't enough, there are too few surveillance cameras over there. We need to further narrow down the range."

"We have to go and ask each bar on the street."

The pair's train of thought was correct.

Li Yanran couldn't help but say that she found Jiang Zongheng younger and more reliable than she had imagined.

Especially with the added power of money, she suddenly felt very confident,

"Others are probably still clueless, but maybe we'll be able to find a clue very soon."

Jiang Zongheng was very young, with a square face, exuding an air of sternness and authority, his appearance didn't seem to be over thirty years old.

If the name Jiang Zongheng was made by a high school student, it would seem quite juvenile.

Even at Jiang Zongheng's age, it was still a bit naive and overconfident.

But after really meeting Jiang Zongheng, who seemed like he could only exist in female-dominated boss novels...

Li Yanran felt that he was indeed worthy of that name.

Jiang Zongheng said,

"It's still too early to draw conclusions, but I've already inquired. The Snow Demon, who had a more advantageous start than us, has left Linxiang City as of yesterday."

"Now it seems that indeed no one is closer to the target than we are."

While the two legendary forerunners were saying this... Zhou Baiyu was in the cinema, unknowingly having his hand held by Zhang Haoyun.

Though he had already been through many battles at Midel, Zhou Baiyu's heart still fluttered a little.

The movie was a foreign anti-war film.

It told the story of a father and child in a concentration camp, trying to shield the young child from the horrors of war, the father kept deceiving the child that it was all just a game, a role-playing game.

Until the end, when the father was taken by German soldiers at gunpoint for execution at some corner, in order to keep his child, hiding in the trash can, believing it was all a game...

Even in the face of death, the father still made funny faces to entertain the child, signaling with his eyes not to leave the trash can, that the game was not over yet.

Zhang Haoyun seemed to recall her own father, as she watched with tears streaming down her face, but her tears were not out of empathy, but out of frustration.

Does such a familial love truly exist? Why was her own father just a drunkard who only knew how to abuse?

Her tears wouldn't stop, hidden under her denim jacket, those crimson eyes stirred restlessly.

Seeing Zhang Haoyun in tears, Zhou Baiyu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He could sense that Zhang Haoyun's childhood seemed to be warped by abnormal family affection.

Fortunately, soon, under his gentle comfort, those words that evoked emotions calmed Zhang Haoyun quickly.

The malice in Zhang Haoyun's heart was surprisingly suppressed, and those restless, seemingly about to open crimson eyes closed tightly again.

She looked at Zhou Baiyu in amazement, realizing for the first time... that she truly felt like someone could comfort her.

It really seemed like there was someone who could... pull her out of her past pain.

The movie ended quickly. But it was just in time for dinner.

Zhang Haoyun looked at Zhou Baiyu, praying that time would slow down a bit more.

...

...

Milan High-rise Hotel, on the forty-first floor.

There's a saying about hotels: if the bathtub is round, it's a place for normal relaxation.

If the bathtub is large and square, then it's a love hotel.

At this moment, two big men, real tough guys, were in a love hotel.

"Nice hotel environment, huh? It even has its own swimming pool!"

Ke Zhongye's real name is actually quite close to his ID, it's Ke Zhongpao.

Yes, the real name seems more like an intimidating ID than the name of an advanced agent.

But his name is indeed Ke Zhongpao.

Exaggerated muscles, a beard along the jaw, and a too-generous smile, Ke Zhongpao showed off his "radish" in front of another man he was meeting for the first time without the slightest embarrassment.

"Hahaha, come on, brother, let's bathe together. Damn it, in our north, it's common for a bunch of men to scrub 'radishes' in the bathhouse—what's there to fear! Hahaha..."

If one were to pick who the true rough and rugged warrior was, it would definitely be Ke Zhongye over Guang Tongchen.

"I think we're far behind Tianxiawuer and Huan Liuyan. We definitely shouldn't underestimate either of them."

"Moreover, the Jingqi Association, although always low-key, is not lacking in ability. I don't think they would give up on this hunt."

"Not to mention the many elites from the various guilds."

Guang Tongchen now regretted why he had chosen to collaborate with Ke Zhongpao.

To be the president of the Justice of the Storm and manage it firmly and orderly, obviously Ke Zhongye wasn't stupid.

But after teaming up with Jiang Xianwu, Guang Tongchen expected more from his teammate than just not being stupid.

Ke Zhongye knew what Guang Tongchen was thinking.

"Brother, do you know what I do in real life?"

"I don't."

"Hmm, better you don't know. Although what I do... may not stand the light of day, I indeed know quite a few people with the right connections. They got me a nice piece of gear. It's not easy to bring it to Linxiang City, but with it, you won't need to think about how to find corrupted species."

Ke Zhongye stood up, shook off the water from his body, spraying Guang Tongchen with a face full of distaste.

But what he said next indeed piqued Guang Tongchen's interest.

"We're not here to investigate, we're here to kill. And when it comes to killing... no one is better than you."

Guang Tongchen opened the case and was momentarily stunned.

Good grief, a disassembled Barrett heavy-duty sniper rifle.

"Each person's avatar holds useful memories, and your real body has been tempered extensively, coupled with your top-notch sniper memories... "

"Heh, this modified Barrett M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle is enough to let you kill corrupted species."

Ke Zhongye was rough but had his nuances:

"Brother, with this, even the ends of the earth are within reach. We just need to figure out how to find Tianxiawuer."

Guang Tongchen was also shocked. He had to admit, these legendary pioneers were all fierce characters. It wouldn't have been too surprising to see such a thing abroad.

But the fact Ke Zhongpao could safely bring it into Linxiang City was no simple feat.

"Though you can't use that divine weapon-like blade in version 1.0, your memories... combined with this firearm, you are surely the person most likely to kill the corrupted species."

"Maybe we're not the most likely to find the target first, but we're definitely the most capable of killing the target."

"This gun may not kill a demon lord, but if aimed at the weak spot, it can cause effective damage to deeply corrupted and even catastrophe-level species."

"According to the content in the announcement, the means currently available to humans can indeed kill that corrupted species."

Ke Zhongye was full of confidence.

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Baiyu, who had just finished dinner and was enjoying flowers in the riverside park, was rapidly advancing his relationship with Zhang Haoyun.

Zhang Haoyun was already resting her head on Zhou Baiyu's shoulder, looking every part the couple.

She truly enjoyed the feeling of complete internal quiet when with Zhou Baiyu.

Utterly defenseless, as if she fully trusted Zhou Baiyu. Her breathing even, her chest slightly rising and falling, she had actually fallen asleep.

Although she had always lived life in a drunken stupor, she rarely had such sweet, nightmare-free sleep as she did now.

At this point, even if Zhou Baiyu were to draw a knife, it's unlikely she'd notice.

What Tianxiawuer didn't know was—

Some were closer to the corrupted species than him. Without the need for deduction, money, or the paving of power.

What Ke Zhongpao didn't know was—

Some had a better chance of killing the corrupted species than him. There was no need for a Barrett, a simple fruit knife would suffice.
