Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu almost suffered from a split personality because of Dr. A's potion.

But now that the effects of the potion have ended, and the corruption in his body has reversed, he remembered.

In the end, his body couldn't withstand the overbearing effects of the potion, and he passed out. Zhang Haoyun also seemed to fall into a coma because of being forcibly cocooned.

He became alert, "Who are you?"

The man with tattooed arms and long hair said, "Duan Kun."

"I don't know you."

"Well, we've only recently met. My other name is called 'Dreambreaker.' Does that ring a bell?"

Zhou Baiyu slightly opened his mouth, stunned for a second before he said,

"You're not dead?"

"Don't call me 'you' like that; it feels offensive."

Dreambreaker actually used 'you' when addressing some elders, but that was because the elderly still believed that each word had its correct usage, not like today, where it's misused in a passive-aggressive way on the internet.

Zhou Baiyu felt awkward for a moment.

Dreambreaker, was not like what he had imagined. The conversation before the dream projection was just like one with a hero.

Everyone thought Dreambreaker was dead, but unexpectedly, he was alive and well. Moreover, his temperament was too... streetwise.

"I'm indeed not dead. The reason... it has to do with my special abilities. That's not important. Kid, you're Jiang Xianwu, right?"

What Jiang Xianwu? I don't understand what you're talking about. Does the person you know also look as handsome as me?

Zhou Baiyu almost blurted out.

But after thinking it over, Dreambreaker had given his real name first, and... he realized that both he and Zhang Haoyun were unharmed.

This was illogical. If he were Dreambreaker, he would at least need to attack them again; maybe he would have finished off both of them. That would be a shocking development.

But since that didn't happen, it was clear that Dreambreaker had made some decisions.

"Alright, it's me. I didn't expect that a senior like you would recognize me," Zhou Baiyu nodded.

Dreambreaker's gaze was intimidating:

"Don't ask me how I survived, and I won't ask what exactly you've turned into. All I know is, you saved Linxiang City, but I need a definite answer—can you control that power? Will you become a new threat?"

This was the kind of compelling gaze only a hot-blooded delinquent with many years of fighting under his belt could have.

Zhou Baiyu had no doubt that if he didn't answer well, Dreambreaker could knock him out right there.

He thought for a long while before saying:

"I should be able to. This is a full-version artifact I got from the Advanced World in the last call-up. It's only by relying on this artifact that I can perform actions similar to transformation and save my friend."

Dreambreaker's response was surprisingly decisive; he nodded and said:

"That's a good answer. Then, let's leave this issue behind. I won't tell anyone the identity of Jiang Xianwu."

Zhou Baiyu had to admire the broad-mindedness of this delinquent middle-aged man.

Having one's real identity known is a terrible thing, especially since... he had just completed defense mode.

Before he passed out, the following message from "us" flashed through his mind—

[Congratulations on successfully defending version 1.0. Your performance has pleased us and made us aware of some operational flaws. We plan to fix them in subsequent modes. We look forward to seeing more possibilities from you.

As a reward, we will erase the memories of non-pioneers regarding this event, using adaptive memory to fill logical gaps.

You will receive pioneer points equivalent to clearing a version 2.0 with an SSS rating.

Furthermore, in line with our promise, you will receive a full-version universal artifact. Please contact your intermediary for details.]

A full-version artifact is, without doubt, something all pioneers are very concerned about, even though its nature is not known.

Zhou Baiyu had to admit that he was quite lucky.

If Dreambreaker were a bit crueler, maybe... by now he would already be talking while tied up. But of course, that would be meaningless in front of the Transit Station's escape techniques.

However, this didn't affect the situation—once in possession of a full-version artifact, most people will certainly be curious about the real identity of a pioneer like himself.

After all, a full-version artifact means you can use "magic" in a world where "magic" doesn't exist.

The more people who know, the greater the danger.

But intuition told Zhou Baiyu that though Dreambreaker was not a Baisui person, he must also be really reliable.

"Uh, about that issue, senior..."

Dreambreaker immediately interjected:

"Don't age me up; in the Advanced World, just call me Brother Unpredictable, and in this world, you can call me Brother Duan. I won't reveal your identity, and in turn, you don't reveal mine.

I have something to ask you; how do you plan to deal with this monster?"

"Okay, Brother Duan, I... I honestly don't know."

Acting cool and showing off had had its moment, but now the question arose...

Even Zhou Baiyu himself was unclear on how to deal with Zhang Haoyun now. A demon lord level...whose evolution had been interrupted halfway, the threat seemed still very significant.

"That reaction, you haven't figured it out yourself? I thought you understood her well, given how you were shouting in Heilian. I thought you knew her well."

"I indeed... had encountered her before the defense mode announcement appeared. To be honest, I thought I could handle everything, calm her down with my abilities. But I failed."

Although he didn't explain the details, Dreambreaker, after all, was a person who had seen his fair share of life's hardships; he knew very well that a rope is likeliest to snap where it is thinnest.
