The young man who appeared before Ye Shuangluo was bare-chested, with long hair cascading down to his waist.
His chest was tattooed with various poisonous creatures like rats, centipedes, snakes, and scorpions.
Although the young man didn’t mention who his colleague was, Ye Shuangluo had already figured it out.
It must be Mo Luo, a core member of “Eternal Night,” whom he had encountered not long ago, using someone else’s body to put on a show in front of him.
“Are you from ‘Eternal Night’?”
The young man smiled and nodded, then reached into his hair and fumbled around for a while.
He pulled out two fist-sized centipedes, stuffed one into his mouth, and held the other in his hand, asking:
“Do you want one?”
Seeing that Ye Shuangluo didn’t respond, he directly tossed the other centipede into his mouth as well.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Miao Miao, a core member of ‘Eternal Night.’”
Because his mouth was full of centipedes, his speech was a bit garbled.
After finally swallowing the centipedes and burping, he continued:
“Actually, I didn’t want to come out, hehe. After all, our ‘Eternal Night’ and your ‘Dawn’ are mortal enemies.
But you killed all my precious pets, it broke my heart.
Especially Little White, he was almost at his final stage of evolution, and you killed him.
Boohoo, my Little White, I even fed him several newly joined peripheral members, and he finally grew up.”
Ye Shuangluo watched him laugh and cry like a madman.
Of course, he also caught the key information in his words.
Newly joined peripheral members.
Ye Shuangluo looked at the pile of corpses at Miao Miao’s feet, among which were a few people dressed in strange outfits.
Were they players who chose the “Eternal Night” faction?
Indeed, a bunch of lunatics, killing enemies and comrades alike.
No wonder there are so many “Rat Immortals” in the sewers; someone actually comes to feed them regularly.
Why do others not encounter this, but I do? Is this how my Luck attribute works?
Ye Shuangluo silently complained in his heart, but then he heard Miao Miao speak again:
“What should I do? Mo Luo wants to recruit you. If you become a comrade, I can’t kill you, or Mo Luo will be angry.”
He looked troubled, as if he were seriously considering what to do.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said happily:
“I got it! I’ll kill you here, and Mo Luo won’t know.
Ah, your body is so strong, it will definitely make my pets very happy to eat!”
Ye Shuangluo looked into Miao Miao’s eyes, a gaze he was all too familiar with.
Greed, madness, full of desire.
Ye Shuangluo began to recall the past. The first person to look at him like this was a mad scientist in the zombie world who didn’t respect him.
Since coming to this world, including Miao Miao in front of him, three men had shown obvious interest in him.
Ye Shuangluo couldn’t help but open the Attribute Bar; his Charisma attribute had dropped to 3 points.
Why is it that even with his Charisma attribute down to 3, he still attracts a bunch of men?
Is this the loss of humanity or the fall of morality?
“Hehehe, I’m so smart. Are you ready to—”
Crack, crack, crack!
Several blue ice spikes flew straight toward Miao Miao’s mouth.
He leaned back to dodge a few ice spikes, and when he straightened up, he had one in his mouth.
Crunch!
With a forceful bite, he actually crushed it.
“Bleh! Not tasty at all.”
At that moment, a cold light flashed.
Swish!
A young man wielding a long knife struck at him, his eyes silently turning blood-red, and the ring on his left index finger glowed faintly.
Asura Demon Eye, activated!
Wolf Feast, activated!
Ye Shuangluo had been listening to the other party’s nonsense only because his Spiritual Power hadn’t fully recovered.
Now that it had, he had no patience for more nonsense.
Gush!
As the blade cut through flesh, Miao Miao’s “long hair” came to life.
It turned out that it wasn’t hair but a bunch of venomous snakes.
“Hiss, hiss.”
Ye Shuangluo’s slash killed a few snakes, but more of them slithered up Mortal Kill, springing toward him like coils.
“Hehehe.”
Miao Miao excitedly watched as Ye Shuangluo’s face was almost covered by venomous snakes, ready to loot his corpse.
But instead of Ye Shuangluo falling, he was met with a powerful knee strike.
Bang!
Just one hit made him see stars.
The next moment, a terrifying Killing Aura emanated from the young man in front of him.
The overwhelming Killing Aura shocked Miao Miao.
“Your Killing Aura is terrifying. Are you the bad guy, or am I?”
With the explosion of Killing Aura, the venomous snakes on Ye Shuangluo’s face fell one by one.
His face had no wounds, not even a snake bite.
“Hey, why is your skin so thick?”
Ye Shuangluo didn’t answer, smirking as he swung Mortal Kill.
In the previous world, he had eaten a “Half-Dragon Snake Gallbladder,” increasing his skin defense by 10 points.
Plus, he had just gained a new Achievement, adding another 5 points to his “armor.” How could mere venomous snakes harm him?
During the ensuing battle, Miao Miao dodged while spewing large amounts of green poisonous mist from his mouth.
But before the mist could reach Ye Shuangluo, it was blown away by an unknown wind.
Miao Miao had a bad feeling; all his tricks seemed to be countered.
He wanted to escape, but Ye Shuangluo stuck to him like glue, giving him no chance.
Miao Miao gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, deciding to use a mutually destructive move.
Gush!
He deliberately didn’t dodge Ye Shuangluo’s slash, letting it hit him.
He was confident in his defense, thinking a single slash wouldn’t be too serious.
But unexpectedly, when he was hit, intense pain swept through his body.
His defense seemed to have failed; the slash ignored it completely.
“Ugh.”
He knelt weakly on the ground, blood gushing from his chest like a fountain.
The blood was highly corrosive, sizzling as it hit the ground.
Miao Miao weakly looked up, seeing the young man looking down at him, eyes devoid of emotion.
Most importantly, they hadn’t both been wounded; only he was gravely injured.
Just before the slash, Ye Shuangluo had sensed a hint of danger.
So, as he slashed, he simultaneously created three ice shields in front of him.
When the corrosive green blood splashed toward him, the ice shields buffered it perfectly, allowing him to dodge easily.
“Mo Luo wants to recruit you. If you join, we’ll be comrades.”
Miao Miao was scared, begging for mercy, even mentioning Mo Luo.
Ye Shuangluo kicked him in the face, smiling kindly.
“Don’t worry, we can’t be comrades, but I’ll send all your comrades down to keep you company. You won’t be lonely.”
The kick knocked out all his teeth, forcing his mouth open.
The young man stepped on him, raising his weapon high.
“You like eating, right? Come on, eat!”
He shoved the long knife into Miao Miao’s mouth, who finally felt fear.
“Ugh, ah.”
He struggled desperately, but it was futile.
The young man gripped the hilt with both hands, slowly applying force.
Gush!
As the blade pierced through his skull, his life came to an end.
[Main Quest: “Dawn Approaches” progress +1]
[Current progress: 1/5]
Ye Shuangluo pulled out Mortal Kill, shaking off the blood, saliva, and brain matter.
“Asura Demon Eye really affects one’s personality.”
Ye Shuangluo shook his head. Such a kind person like him had been made so violent by the “Asura Demon Eye.”
He stored the green Treasure Chest floating out of the corpse into his space backpack and was about to leave.
But then he noticed Miao Miao’s corpse undergoing a strange transformation, his soul emerging.
In front of Ye Shuangluo, the soul turned into a black mist.
As soon as the black mist formed, it flew to Ye Shuangluo’s feet, prostrating itself.
Though it was just a mist, Ye Shuangluo felt it was expressing loyalty to him.
“Is this… being transformed into a Wraith Soldier?”
