After the cafeteria incident.
No longer did the strange creature look at Ye with greedy eyes.
Even Ling Naixue, who was standing to the side, remained silent, not daring to provoke Ye Lai.
The teacher didn't call on Ye Lai when asking questions.
The afternoon's school life went smoothly.
Until I got home from school.
When he arrived at his doorstep, Ye Lai put his glasses back on and became like a well-behaved child.
The meal at home was already prepared.
Ten dishes and ten soups.
The mother and sister sat upright watching Ye Lai finish his meal, while the father, locked in the kitchen, made all sorts of strange noises.
Ye went to the toilet to take his medicine halfway through.
Finally, we returned to the second floor.
The younger sister came to Ye Lai's room again, and the two of them spoke normally while communicating privately through earpieces.
Are you willing to spend 1000 Red Mysterious Crystals and 300 Dragon Soul Crystals to unlock the 'Exploration' feature?
Ye Lai suddenly received this notification.
This is something they would certainly be willing to do.
After finishing his conversation with his sister, Ye Lai chose to stay in the room alone.
"willing."
Ye Lai confirmed.
After some investigation, it was found that the exploration function is a feature that allows one to explore the secrets within the strange world they inhabit.
This is what Ye Lai needs most right now.
Although he had many guesses about this devilish town, they were all just guesses and he couldn't make any certainty.
This new feature is a godsend.
[Crystals deducted; Exploration feature officially launched]
Another speaker icon has appeared in the store interface.
This is the function of exploration.
Turn on the speaker.
[Note: Using this feature requires spending the corresponding amount of crystals.]
[①To directly discover the secret of Demon Town, you need 2000 Dragon Soul Crystals and 3000 Red Mysterious Crystals]
[② Discovering clues to the secret requires 1000 Dragon Soul Crystals and 1000 Red Mysterious Crystals]
[③ Confirming if the clue is from the clinic requires 1600 Blue Mysterious Crystals and 500 Red Mysterious Crystals]
This feature also has three modes.
The first option is the most expensive, which Ye Lai can't afford and doesn't need, especially since he already has a guess.
"The third function."
"The secret is related to my sister leaving Devil Town."
Ye Lai voiced his guess to himself.
This guess is correct.
With the crystal deducted, Ye Lai finally got the answer he wanted.
Don't underestimate this feature. Often, the accuracy of your guesses is crucial.
Because speculation is always speculation, not reality. There can be a million kinds of speculation, but there is only one kind of reality.
Being able to judge whether something is correct or not can save a lot of time and energy.
"Indeed, in that case, let's leave tonight. After what happened in the cafeteria at noon, the sinister forces lurking behind the scenes will definitely lower their guard against us."
Ye Lai made his own judgment.
They've just finished a performance, so their vigilance is at its lowest right now.
During the live stream, he told Liang Mengxian that he would take her away tonight.
Her tone was clearly one of surprise.
She didn't seem to have expected it to be so soon, but she agreed to Ye Lai's offer without hesitation.
"Whatever Ye Lai says is right, she believes in Ye Lai."
Liang Mengxian thought to herself as she agreed.
Even if it means facing death, as long as Ye Lai is there, death isn't so frightening.
"..."
According to Ye Lai's plan.
The two slept with the lights on as usual, and the act took place at 11 p.m.
Yesterday at 10 o'clock, the mother, in a strange manner, came to kill Ye Lai, but was stopped by Liang Mengxian.
The leaf will determine the outcome.
His mother will not lay a hand on him today because of his and Liang Mengxian's outstanding performance in the cafeteria.
⑧ьОΟк． соm
Sure enough, it was eleven o'clock.
Nothing happened.
This further confirmed that Ye Lai's idea was correct.
So, the next step is to leave this place.
Ye Lai lay quietly on the bed.
But the door inexplicably opened and then closed automatically.
Ye Lai used the Phantom Mask to create a perfect clone, which lay on the bed while the real Ye Lai had already opened the door invisibly.
The second floor was completely dark.
Only the crack in his and Liang Xianmeng's door allowed light to pass through.
Ye Lai silently opened Liang Xianmeng's door.
A beam of light descended from the sky.
It landed on Ye Lai, but caused no harm; instead, it warmed her up.
[Note: You have received a blessing, increasing your skill damage for one hour.]
"It's me."
Ye Lai revealed his figure and spoke via livestream.
"It's alright. My skills only harm the supernatural; they're only beneficial to humans."
Liang Mengxian explained during the live stream.
This was the first time Ye Lai had come to her room.
A clean and minimalist style.
"Leave now?"
Liang Mengxian couldn't wait to leave this small town.
"Wait a moment."
Ye Lai stopped Liang Mengxian.
We must leave, but we can do better before we leave.
Ye Lai redeemed a man-made model from the 'Happy Cinema' in the mall.
[Name: Artificial Model]
[Category: Movie Equipment]
[Rank: First Rank]
[Quality: Average]
[Description: A special prop used in filming. It can mimic a shape and maintain a basic, fixed posture. It can breathe and have a heartbeat, but it cannot move or jump. It is the most common extra prop in movies.]
[Note: Sometimes people also use it for other purposes.]
This suggestion is getting increasingly inappropriate.
Ye Lai cursed inwardly.
When the model was aligned with Liang Mengxian, the human body model, which originally had no facial features or clothes, changed like a liquid and transformed into a sleeping Liang Mengxian.
Put her on the bed, and it looks like Liang Mengxian is still sleeping.
"Where did you get all these weird and strange things from?"
Liang Mengxian wanted to ask, but she didn't.
Perhaps my brother's profession includes the skill of producing such strange and unusual items.
Everything is arranged.
Ye Lai redeemed another green backdrop from the store, which was also a filming product of Happy Cinema and could automatically transform into the desired scene.
The two hid under the green backdrop, which, under Ye Lai's control, turned completely black, making it extremely conspicuous in the room.
But it doesn't matter, Ye Lai is going to carry this piece of cloth out.
The two quietly left through the window of Liang Mengxian's room.
The Devil Town is dark at night, with no streetlights or lights on in any house; the only light is the moon in the sky.
But when the moonlight fell, it was dim and almost nonexistent; everywhere was pitch black.
At this point, turning the backdrop into a black background would be very suitable for this environment.
It's like being invisible.
"Going to the dock?"
Liang Mengxian spoke via livestream.
This was the initial plan she and Ye Lai devised to leave this place: to swim away, across the endless sea, and swim eastward.
"No, we can't leave here by boat. Let's go to the academy."
Ye said.
"The university? But that's the center of Demon Town; you can't leave it once you get there."
Although they were willing to trust Ye Lai without reservation, Demon Town was an island surrounded by the sea, and the academy was the center of this island.
Where can we leave here?
8ьook. сОм

The plan Ye Lai is proposing now is worlds apart from the plans he proposed before.
It's not about the difference in intelligence between the two, but rather the difference in their direction.
One of them planned to swim away from the island.
The other, however, planned to leave the island from its center.
"You can't leave this place by boat; the sea outside isn't the sea."
"The islands here are not really islands."
"Liang Mengxian, always think more about why. The more you ask why, the more truths you will know about many things."
Ye Lai pointed to his head.
He didn't say it out of feigned mystery, but because he was afraid that if he did, some strange entity would sense it.
The two arrived at the academy.
The roads in the small town were all quiet and dark.
This sets the tone for the town.
It's time to leave the university; the university gates are tightly closed.
The door, which is usually inaccessible to information, now presents a completely different scene in Ye Lai's eyes.
[Title: The Gates of the University]
Category: Props
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Introduction ①: To be unlocked]
[Introduction ②: This is a gate that Flash guards faithfully. Before he opens it, all those who intend to force their way in will be ruthlessly turned away. If anyone shows any inclination to attack him, it will only provoke his attack.]
[Hint: You can disassemble it, but there's a better way.]
The gate has become a strange gate.
"The door is locked. I'm here to forcibly remove it."
Liang Mengxian immediately set out to dismantle it.
"No need, we can dismantle it, but there's a better way."
Ye Lai stopped Liang Mengxian and took out a key from his pocket.
This is a key specifically designed to open this locked door; it was just exchanged and was a bit pricey.
Ye Lai has already mastered the functions of the online store.
"Brother, you're awesome."
Looking at the key, Liang Mengxian could only utter this sentence.
I feel like this older brother has become completely different from before. Actually, he wasn't bad before, but now he's just too outstanding. It seems like everything is within his calculations.
In comparison, Ye Lai in the past seems somewhat unjustly treated.
The older brother is excellent and handsome, but the older brother who is a victim of injustice is also adorable.
In short, everything about Ye Lai is good.
Insert the door into the center of the dark, surging gate.
Ah~
The door let out a satisfied female voice, and then opened.
That's really dark and has a really bad sense of humor.
Ye Lai entered the university.
The academy at this time was completely different from the academy during the day.
Various pieces of information appeared before Ye Lai, all of them bizarre and strange.
A stray cat in front of the university becomes a feline demon at night, and a mosquito becomes a blood-sucking mosquito.
The set design couldn't fool them.
These animals eerily approached Ye Lai and his companion.
"It seems this piece of cloth is useless."
Ye Lai threw the set aside, revealing himself and Liang Mengxian.
I saw it was the infamous brother and sister duo from the university.
The strange creatures that were approaching suddenly all ran away.
They didn't care whether the brother and sister were human or supernatural; in any case, they were people they couldn't afford to mess with.
[Hint: They chose to run away because they feared your infamy]
Looking at the strange clues from these animals.
Ye Lai smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
"I could feel their fear; they ran away because they saw us."
Liang Mengxian said.
"Yes, it seems that fame, though formidable, does have its uses."
⑧BσОк． cом
Ye Lai didn't expect that the two's notorious reputation and vindictiveness were so great that even these strange animals knew about them.
...
The two crossed the playground.
We arrived at the teaching building.
"There should only be one place to leave here, either in your classroom and in your seat, or in my classroom and in my seat."
Ye Lailian said to Liang Mengxian.
"Let's go together."
Liang Mengxian replied.
The two decided to go to Ye Lai's A teaching building first.
But when they reached the door, they stopped.
A man emerged from the darkness.
Ye Lai had seen this person before in his memory.
The president of the school council, the most outstanding third-year student at Dingsheng Senior High School, he and Liang Mengxian were always ranked second and third, with the first place always going to be held by this guy.
However, this student council president was always a well-behaved student, completely different from the infamous brother and sister.
There has never been any conflict between the two sides.
"I guessed there would definitely be someone guarding this place. I'll attack, you go check, and if you see them, connect with me on voice chat."
Ye Lai said during the live stream.
"Okay, be careful, I'll be quick."
Liang Mengxian replied during the live stream.
However, the man also discovered their live stream connection.
"Actually, I noticed it a long time ago. You two always like to whisper to each other. I don't think that's good. It's no fun if I can't hear your inner monologues."
The man said that his previously normal body was beginning to change.
A blue flash appeared on his body, making him grow taller and stronger. His blue skin was mysterious and dazzling in the darkness, and a pair of demonic wings extended from his back.
Name: Luo Xiao
[Occupation: Third-year student at Dingsheng Senior High School, president of the school council, possessing only a demonic and unpredictable nature]
[Rating: Classic Horror Level]
[Introduction ①: To be unlocked]
[Introduction ②: As the president of the academy council, Luo Xiao possesses astonishing potential and formidable strength. He dominates the terrifying level of the bizarre, and his high-purity demon bloodline has earned him the appreciation of the mastermind behind the bizarre events.]
[Hint 1: His strength is no less than yours; both are among the strongest in their respective ranks]
[Hint 2: Your escape has been discovered, and this demon town is watching you closely.]
Not weaker than you, the strongest among those of the same level.
This was the first time Ye Lai had ever seen such a comment about something strange.
"Have I become a unit of measurement for combat power?"
As Ye Lai thought to himself, the golden light spread throughout his body and encompassed a one-meter radius around him.
"Your performance was excellent, and you could have performed for much longer, but this attempt to escape will put you at risk of death."
The blue light on Luo Xiao's body was leaping and blooming.
"Actually, I've wanted to fight you for a long time, but because you are rare creatures, I can't attack you. Do you know why?"
"Because they're worried I might accidentally ruin you guys."
The blue figure suddenly disappeared from its spot, and when it reappeared, it was in front of Liang Mengxian, and a fist was already hitting Liang Mengxian's chin from below.
"That was really fast."
At this speed, even Ye Lai couldn't arrive in time to provide assistance.
Is the underlying idea that the weak should be dealt with first?
The idea is good, but it's overthinking it.
Liang Mengxian is no weakling.
Ye Lai was not worried about Liang Mengxian's danger at all.
At full speed.
In a flash of golden light, he arrived behind Luo Xiao, but it was too late to stop him.
"You're quite good, but you can't stop me."
Luo Xiao was very confident.
However, his confidence was quickly proven wrong.
It wasn't that Ye Lai blocked him.
Instead, a flash of white light appeared, and Liang Mengxian was already behind him in the blink of an eye.
Along with it.
And his clenched fist arm was severed in an instant.

Liang Mengxian is very strong.
She was so strong that even Ye Lai didn't know how strong she was, so he wasn't worried about Liang Mengxian's safety at all.
The consequences of looking down on women are unpleasant.
Even after his arm was severed, a small burst of light erupted from Luo Xiao's empty arm, freezing him in place and rendering him unable to move.
Then came Ye Lai's heavy blow from behind.
A punch to the head.
A sword cuts him in the waist.
It must be said that Luo Xiao, under the blue lightning, possessed a physical defense that was in no way inferior to Ye Lai's.
Neither fists nor swords could leave a mark on him.
It simply slammed him into the ground.
A burst of blue light exploded.
The blue battle aura surged to the ceiling, and Luo Xiao finally broke free from the white light restraints left by Liang Mengxian.
A layer of azure sword shadow had already covered Ye Lai's mysterious longsword. With a casual flick of his wrist, the azure sword shadow flew out.
It pierced towards Luo Xiao, who had just broken free from his restraints.
Sword shadows erupted, and sword energy shot out in all directions.
They made the crater even deeper.
However, Ye Lai still did not see the kill notification.
"A top-tier expert of the same level is indeed difficult to kill."
Ye Lai never imagined that he could kill a strange being who was comparable to himself in the hints.
Hundreds of blue light missiles were launched.
Ye Lai reached out, and the golden light on his body formed a golden shield in front of him to block the attack.
The final result of these blue lights was an iron fist coming straight at you.
The mimicking golden shield was violently smashed open in front of the fist, and the powerful force even transmitted to Ye Lai through the golden light.
"It was very powerful."
Ye Lai did not back down. With his Vajra Body, he would not easily lose to others in terms of strength.
However, it is clear that the externalized golden light is not very useful against enemies of this level.
The externalized golden light contracted, transforming into a thin film of golden light covering the body.
He catches the opponent's fist with his right hand and simultaneously retaliates with his left.
But the other party caught it.
The two were locked in a struggle of strength.
"Comparing your strength to mine is truly absurd."
Luo Xiao said confidently, his agile blue body flashing with blue lightning.
He was confident that even against the most terrifying and bizarre beings, his power was second to none.
Don't assume anything.
Ye Lai faced the immense pressure from his hands without fear.
Golden light suddenly shone from his body, even his eyes were tinged with gold, and his Vajra Body was activated at full power.
The ground beneath their feet began to crack as it could not withstand the force.
The small stones, under the pressure between the two, rose continuously, only to be crushed into dust in the contest between golden light and blue lightning.
For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
But the blue lightning on Luo Xiao's body shone even brighter, flashing back and forth across his body.
His power is still increasing.
Ye Lai lost his footing.
Luo Xiao seized the opportunity completely.
With a burst of strength from both hands, Ye Lai was lifted into the air and then slammed heavily to the ground, freeing his hands.
Luo Xiao's entire body crackled with electricity for five seconds.
Five seconds later.
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble!"
It was a continuous barrage of bombardment.
The ground is being bombarded continuously.
The strong tremors even shook the building.
This is the punch Luo Xiao threw with all his might within those five seconds, and it only fully erupted five seconds later.
In those five seconds, he threw three hundred punches with all his might.
This is his ability: Lightning-fast, unparalleled, three hundred punches.
A perfect combination of speed and power.
Since he started using this move, no one has ever come out alive from under his fists.
When the dust settles.
In the deep pit was a mangled and broken body.
The golden light faded, and only one-third of the body remained.
Luo Xiao walked up to Ye Lai and looked down at him, saying, "You're quite good, but it's a pity you ran into me."
8Book.com
He threw another punch.
It pierced through Ye Lai's head.
"As expected, I am invincible."
A confident yet melancholic smile appeared on Luo Xiao's face. The sensation in his hand told him that Ye Lai was completely dead.
However, the smile quickly disappeared.
He sensed something was wrong with the force in his hand.
The mangled body emitted a light, and then it exploded.
It was too late to back down then.
"Bang."
The damaged clone exploded.
He wasn't seriously injured, but the overwhelming feelings of fear and anger caused Luo Xiao to momentarily lose his composure.
Behind him.
A figure walked out.
He held a mysterious sword in his right hand, and a sword light condensed into a three-foot-long green blade in his left hand. Both swords were shrouded in green light and sword shadows.
besides.
The suppressed golden light also covered the edges of the blue sword shadow.
The two swords struck down at the moment Luo Xiao's system crashed.
[Stacked Skill - Double Sword Strike + Golden Light Condensation]
An X shape appeared on Luo Xiao's back.
Instead of red blood spurting out, a blue, eerie light scattered everywhere.
This strike.
It broke through Luo Xiao's physical body.
It hurt him deeply.
[Hint: You have broken through part of the opponent's 'Psionic Shield' on their back; the back area will now be defenseless.]
Ye Lai received a notification.
The intense pain brought Luo Xiao back to his senses after the system crashed.
Attempting to retaliate.
But how could Ye Lai give him such an opportunity?
The two swords attacked rapidly in turn.
Luo Xiao was completely suppressed.
This battle was less a physical fight and more a display of strategy.
During the subsequent contest, Ye Lai realized that Luo Xiao had not yet used his full strength, and knew that he was inferior to his opponent in terms of power.
When they were lifted up and thrown down, their hands separated.
He immediately used the Phantom Mask to create a perfect clone.
The clone took five seconds of Luo Xiao's punches.
He then hid nearby, taking advantage of Luo Xiao's distraction.
He used the stacking skills he had learned from fighting Jiang Tiandao during this period.
They injured the opponent in one fell swoop.
"There are two types of battles. One is the kind of battle where you fight without thinking, relying on instinct. The other is the kind where you start planning and strategizing from the very beginning. Kid, you're better suited for the second type."
Ye Lai couldn't help but recall what Jiang Tiandao had said to him.
"How despicable!"
Luo Xiao, suppressed, roared helplessly, but could only struggle to deal with Ye Lai's rapid attacks with his twin swords.
He could only defend himself with his fists, as the 'phantom energy shield' on his back had been destroyed by Ye Lai and could no longer provide the same formidable defense as before.
Ye Lai knew this too, and he was always moving around and attacking quickly. As long as the opponent did not defend, he would immediately stab at the opponent's back.
This is very eerie.
Both in terms of physical defense and offensive power, it can be said to be in an extremely strong state.
Unless the 'Light of Deception' is used, it will be difficult to truly kill the opponent.
But now the eyes of Devil Town are on him, and Ye Lai needs to save this trump card for later.
Such a restraint is the best option at this time.
"Disgrace, utter disgrace."
Luo Xiao was suppressed, and his heart was filled with rage and shame.
No more hesitation.
Ye Lai, who was wandering around, stabbed him in the back with his sword.
Luo Xiao's body twitched with blue light, which condensed into a blue light blade in his hand.
"Ye Lai, I have made up my mind. You must die by my blade. If I do not kill you, I will never serve as a king again."
He cleaved down with a single stroke.
A flash of blue light appeared, and six small blue orbs, accompanied by light blades, slashed towards Ye Lai.
8ЬοоＫ． сΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The blue light blade exuded domineering power, but Ye Lai's cyan sword shadow danced as he swung.
They blocked all of Luo Xiao's attacks.
Even though Luo Xiao endured a sword strike and condensed the blue light blade, thus increasing his combat power again, he was still repeatedly breached by Ye Lai.
With the balance of power shifting, the two sides have once again reached a stalemate.
Ye Lai's gaze at the entrance of Teaching Building A.
Logically speaking, the battle between him and Luo Xiao had lasted for two minutes. Given Liang Mengxian's speed, she should have come out long ago.
If Liang Mengxian still hasn't come out or replied after another half minute, I'll kill Luo Xiao and rush in.
...
Ye Lai's classroom is on the eighth floor.
Normally speaking.
Given Liang Mengxian's speed, she should be able to arrive and land very quickly, in just fifteen seconds.
However, Liang Mengxian also encountered her troubles here.
Countless dark resentments crawled out from all over Building A.
They were no match for Liang Mengxian.
But its advantage lies in its boundless quantity.
When Liang Mengxian stormed through and killed ninety-eight resentful and strange beings, she arrived at Ye Lai's classroom.
The inside looks normal; there's nothing unusual about it.
She was about to tell Ye Lai via video call, but found that she couldn't contact him here. Just as she was about to go back...
The eerie, dark resentment once again seeped out from every crack in the teaching building.
He stood in front of Liang Mengxian.
I'm really annoyed.
Liang Mengxian said.
She was tired of killing them one by one, and then these resentful spirits would strangely recombine one by one.
A light shone upon her.
Under this light.
The dark, resentful, and eerie feelings all melted away automatically.
This radiance skill.
Liang Mengxian gave it a name.
The light that dispels the mystery.
Specifically designed to kill eerie lights.
They are enemies mortal of the supernatural, but beneficial to humanity.
Liang Mengxian hoped that her light of dispelling the supernatural would be like the sun, that the supernatural would be like ice, melting away under its light, and that humanity would be like all things, full of life under its light.
She hopes that one day, the light of dispelling the eerie will shine throughout the town, melting away and eliminating all the strangeness.
After using this skill.
Liang Mengxian arrived downstairs with ease, and nothing strange could stand in her way.
This also includes Luo Xiao, who is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Ye Lai.
Under the light that dispels the mystery.
The eerie blue light emanating from him quickly dimmed.
With a suppressed groan, he had no choice but to abandon the fight and turn to flee from the range of Liang Mengxian's dispelling light.
He is very strong.
Under the light of the broken magic, he could persevere, but he also had to face a formidable enemy like Ye Lai.
This is something Luo Xiao couldn't do.
"We won't chase after them, we'll go to your classroom."
Ye Lai stopped Liang Mengxian from giving chase.
Seeing the expression on her face, Ye Lai knew that she had not found a way out of here.
If it's not in Ye Lai's classroom, then it's in Liang Mengxian's classroom.
"Devil Town is watching us closely; we need to hurry and not waste time here,"
Seeing that Liang Mengxian was still hesitant, Ye Lai said, "Remember our original goal: to leave this place, not to kill Luo Xiao."
"I see."
After hearing this, Liang Mengxian gave up her idea of chasing Luo Xiao.
She wanted to kill Luo Xiao not for any other reason than because she saw the wounds on Ye Lai's body. Even though Ye Lai had an invincible physique, he still had some minor injuries during the fierce battle.
Liang Mengxian could not tolerate Ye Lai being hurt like this, but since Ye Lai had spoken up, she gave up the idea of pursuing him.
The eerie light emanating from his body dissipated.
Releasing such a skill is quite taxing for him, so he should conserve as much as possible.
The two entered Building B.
Liang Mengxian is in Class 15 of Grade 1, and her classroom is on the 5th floor of the teaching building.
The two had just climbed to the first floor.
Luo Xiao, who had initially fled, caught up with them again.
"Liang Mengxian, you can leave, but Ye Lai, you have to stay and fight me to the death."
Luo Xiao, holding the blue light blade, said unwillingly.
He hadn't yet determined a winner with Ye Lai, and he was unwilling to accept defeat.
8ЬоОｋ·соm
"You dare to catch up and see for yourself."
Liang Mengxian was already planning to take action to deal with this guy.
A white light faintly took shape in his hand.
"I can't do anything about your light, but if I want to run, you can't stop me either."
Luo Xiao stood at the stairwell, ready to evacuate at any moment.
But he would immediately follow up, determined to settle the score with Ye Lai.
Liang Mengxian also felt somewhat troubled.
Luo Xiao is right; it would be very difficult for her to kill someone as powerful and unpredictable as Luo Xiao in one blow.
"I'll give you a chance."
Ye Lai spoke up.
If Luo Xiao is allowed to cause trouble like this, it will further reduce the time it takes them to find an exit.
"There's only one move, but after that, we'll stop fighting. If you insist on fighting, I'll just commit suicide on the spot."
Ye saw through Luo Xiao's thirst for battle. Like Jiang Tiandao, they were both mindless guys who fought on instinct. Such beings craved battle to the core.
"....."
"Sure, one move it is."
Luo Xiao agreed.
He crouched down, gripping the blue light blade in both hands, preparing to unleash his strongest attack.
Ye Laiye walked forward.
A blue sword shadow once again appeared on the mysterious longsword in his hand.
The distance between the two people.
Less than ten steps.
Ye Lai swung his sword.
A blue light poured down, and a blue lotus flower bloomed.
Within ten steps, every strike is a fatal blow.
Meanwhile, the light blade in Luo Xiao's hand was flashing with blue lightning.
He raised his sword to strike.
But at this very moment...
A beam of light swooped down.
The arrow struck Luo Xiao, causing both the light blade and the blue glow around him to dim.
It was Liang Mengxian who made the move.
A 'deceptive arrow' struck Luo Xiao.
This arrow caused Luo Xiao's strongest strike to fail, forcing him to face Ye Lai's "Ten Steps One Kill" head-on.
His body was constantly being cleansed by the sword energy within the blue lotus.
A large amount of blue ghostly light vanished.
When the blue lotus completely came to an end.
A tattered blue demon burst forth and fled into the distance.
"What a pity, they still managed to escape."
Ye Lai said regretfully, "If we could really kill it, we would definitely get a lot of crystals."
"I'll definitely kill him next time I see him."
Liang Mengxian said.
We shouldn't run into each other again, and even if we do, we won't be as easily fooled as we are now.
Ye Lai thought to himself.
Before making his move, he had already discussed with Liang Mengxian that they would work together to capture Luo Xiao.
Having failed to deceive them this time, Luo Xiao will never easily trust humans again.
Luo Xiao, on the other hand, was frantically fleeing.
I didn't dare to stop until I was far away from the school and back home.
He was hit by the "Deceptive Arrow" and then went through Ye Lai's "Ten Steps One Kill".
This time, he truly felt the sense of destruction and death.
"Despicable! Despicable! Utterly despicable!"
"Humans are all such shameless and despicable creatures."
Holding his mangled body, Luo Xiao trembled violently, both from anger and fear.
He almost died at the hands of that despicable brother and sister.
"From now on, I can never trust humans again."
...
Ye Lai didn't know.
His actions completely shattered the terrified and bizarre inner world of the person in question.
From that moment on, he would never trust humans again.
But for Ye Lai, it didn't matter. No matter what Luo Zhen thought, it couldn't change the relationship between the supernatural and humans.
The relationship between them will only truly end when one of them is destroyed.
Attempting to coexist, whether for humans or the supernatural, is naive and childish.

Ye Lai and Liang Mengxian arrived at the fifth floor.
Liang Mengxian's classroom was located on the other side of the corridor, and a faint light could be seen inside.
[Hint: This is the passageway to leave Demon Town]
The prompt further confirmed that Ye Lai's idea was correct.
However, a strange sense of oppression inexplicably appeared in Ye Lai's heart.
It was the feeling of being watched by something.
Unlike wild beasts, they exist at a higher level.
[Hint: Demon Town has its eyes on you]
"run."
Ye gave the order.
The two ran towards the classroom as fast as they could.
But the corridor, which was originally only a few dozen meters long, suddenly extended and became extremely long and far.
The light that was once visible is now completely obscured.
No matter how hard Ye Lai and Liang Mengxian ran, they couldn't reach the other end of the corridor, let alone get into the classroom.
[Hint: We are currently in a spatial folding state. Simply running will not get you to your destination.]
A prompt appears in front of you.
This indicates that the space has been folded, and speed alone is not enough to reach the destination.
Ye Lai tried taking a step back.
This step is indeed a real step back.
The meaning behind Devil Town is now clear.
You can go back, but you are not allowed to go forward or leave.
In the endlessly long corridor.
A group of teachers and students appeared.
Ye Lai saw a group of familiar faces, all of whom were his classmates.
Why did you leave me? Was it because I didn't love you enough?
In the crowd, Ling Naixue looked at the pressure with a sorrowful gaze, which eventually turned into hatred.
These teachers and students, acting strangely, walked towards Ye Lai.
Ye Lai unleashed a sword strike with seven-tenths of his strength, killing the opponent.
The cyan sword shadow fell into the strange creatures, and disappeared after slaying several of them.
However, Ye Lai did not receive any kill notification.
This made Ye Lai realize that what he had killed were nothing more than phantoms, or strange beings in some other state.
It was impossible to achieve a true kill.
The teachers and students, acting strangely, walked step by step toward Ye Lai and his companion.
Behind them was nothing but emptiness.
Simply step back, and you can easily leave and return to Devil Town.
You don't have to face these strange things.
"Compared to you, Devil Town is truly terrifying."
How could Ye Lai back down? Compared to these strange things, his parents at home and the guys living in those villas were far more terrifying.
A second swing of the sword.
This time, a blue lotus flower bloomed.
The cyan sword light poured forth, determined to utterly destroy this endlessly extending corridor.
All the teachers and students within ten steps who were strange creatures were destroyed.
There were no more obstacles in front of us.
However, the corridor still stretched on and out of sight.
Ye Lai's strength was also completely exhausted.
I am temporarily unable to unleash the sword technique that kills every ten steps.
"call."
Ye Lai took a deep breath.
He felt a deep sense of exhaustion, but thankfully he still had the little blue pills; taking one would replenish his vitality.
I haven't had a chance to rest yet.
Large-scale bizarre events involving teachers and students have reappeared.
Moreover, this time, instead of looking directly ahead, the area behind was filled with all sorts of strange teachers and students.
They walked towards the two of them step by step.
"Are you planning to wear us down?"
Ye Lai guessed.
"I'll do it this time."
This time, it was Liang Mengxian's turn to make a move, and her body once again radiated a light that could dispel supernatural phenomena.
Shining in all directions.
Whether in front or behind.
The eerie things are being melted away quickly, but there are just too many of them.
As a result, these strange occurrences are still progressing slowly.
8ЬоОｋ·соm
"It's time for me to show my full strength!"
"I can't be weaker than you, Ye Lai!"
As Liang Mengxian muttered to herself, the light emanating from her body that could dispel eerie phenomena rose to another level, melting away all the strangeness.
Its power has increased by more than one level.
Even Ye Lai's originally weak body is recovering rapidly.
Extremely effective against the supernatural and restorative for humans, the Light of Exorcism can be described as a divine skill.
But such a powerful skill.
The price is an extremely high level of consumption.
Liang Mengxian's face was covered in sweat. Even though this skill was her own creation, she couldn't withstand such a high-quality, large-scale release.
Ye Lai handed her a small blue pill: "Eat this, it will replenish your energy."
Liang Mengxian ate it in one bite.
Her complexion improved slightly, but it was still not enough to sustain her.
Under the light that dispels the mystery.
The teachers and students, caught in a pincer movement, were utterly destroyed.
Even the seemingly endless corridor began to shrink under the light.
[Hint: The Light of Dispelling Mystery is breaking down the spatial fold.]
That's truly a god-level skill.
It can also break through strange spatial folds.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on any longer."
Liang Mengxian was finding it hard to bear.
"Actually, I forgot to tell you, I know this trick too."
Ye reached out his hand.
A beam of light, capable of dispelling the supernatural, also shone from his hand.
The double light of breaking the mystery overlaps.
Liang Mengxian's complexion improved rapidly under Ye Lai's dispelling light.
Ye Lai's strength was quickly restored by Liang Mengxian's exorcism.
"As expected, the response from the Light of Deception is only useless to myself, but useful to others. I successfully exploited the bug."
Ye Lai thought happily.
Under the double beams of light that dispel the mystery.
A crisp, cracking sound.
The corridor returned to its original shape, and the two walked forward step by step.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to move quickly, but rather that the two of them, under the influence of the "Breaking the Mystery Light," were unable to move quickly.
This can be considered a drawback of the Light of Deception.
"You can do that too? I thought it was something I invented."
Liang Mengxian looked very surprised.
"It's your original creation; I just copied it."
Ye Lai rarely spoke such a truth.
He simply copied the skills of the fourth position in his own profession.
"It's okay, what's mine is yours."
Liang Mengxian didn't care at all, "If you need to use it in the future, I will lend it to you."
These words sent a shiver down Ye Lai's spine.
The reason he was able to imitate this move was because his essence as a Tier 1 exclusive class awakener came from the Executor's Light of Deception.
As expected,
The connection between Liang Mengxian and the executive officer...
...
In the superposition of two uncanny lights.
There were no more strange occurrences or unexpected events.
The two of them walked step by step to the door of Liang Mengxian's classroom.
The swirling white vortex was clearly visible.
That's the passage out of Devil Town.
But at this time.
A person wearing a hat and a trench coat, completely covered up from head to toe, appeared in front of the two.
"You cannot leave."
"That's what the man in the trench coat said."
"Another pretentious and eerie act?"
Liang Mengxian paid no attention to the man in the trench coat's words; the eerie light emanating from her body was so bright that it was blinding.
"He's not a monster. There's no monster in Devil Town that can stand in front of us."
Ye came to speak.
Ye Lai's Light of Deception alone was enough to kill a Nightmare-level monster. With Liang Mengxian's full-force Light of Deception added to the mix, the combined power of the two of them would make it difficult for even a Despair-level monster to stand there so nonchalantly.
Not to mention that Ye Lai couldn't see the man's hidden information.
⑻bОOK.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
It wasn't a strange phantom; if it were, it would have already vanished under the light that dispelled the eerie illusion.
It's not strange; if it were, Ye Lai would be able to see his hidden information.
Therefore, the only beings standing before you can be human.
You are human.
Ye Lai spoke up.
The man in the trench coat nodded.
"Humans? There are actually humans in this Demon Town besides us?"
Liang Mengxian's face first showed surprise, then happiness, and finally doubt. "Then you should leave here with us. Why are you blocking us and preventing us from leaving?"
"For peace."
The man in the trench coat said, "What you possess is too dangerous. If you leave, everything that has been arranged will change."
"You mean the Light that dispels the mystery?"
Ye Lai understood what the man in the trench coat meant. "But this stuff is a good medicine for dealing with the supernatural and it's also beneficial to humans. Even if we leave and return to the real world, we'll be an asset, not a scourge."
"Humanity cannot fight against the supernatural without us."
"..."
"That's just your side of the story."
The man in the trench coat said, "Believe me, staying here is protecting you, and protecting the world."
Ye Lai was now certain that no matter how much the human in front of him said or what reasons he gave, it would be useless. Ye Lai only needed to know that what he was doing at this moment was to prevent the two of them from leaving.
That is the enemy.
What if I absolutely have to leave?
Ye said.
"Then we are the enemy, and you are destined never to leave."
The man in the trench coat lowered his voice and said, "The Light of Deception cannot be dispelled. Once it is dispelled, you will be watched by the Demon Town again."
"If you don't disperse, you won't be able to get past me."
Vines stretched out from under the man's feet, took root in the concrete, and quickly spread, turning the once clean corridor into a world of green vines.
Trust me, leave, go back.
The man in the trench coat continued repeating the same thing.
It must be said that the man in the trench coat made a good point.
"He's right. All my skills are made up of the Light of Dispelling Mystery. I do zero damage to humans."
Liang Mengxian transmitted her voice to Ye Lai.
After the two activated the Light of Dispelling Ghosts together, Ye Lai and Liang Xianmeng were able to communicate even without speaking.
This must be because the two possess the same nature of power.
Ye Lai also guessed Liang Mengxian's weakness.
The ability of the Light of Deception to suppress the supernatural can be said to have come at the cost of harming humans; it is a skill specifically designed to target the supernatural.
"I'll deal with him, you go inside."
Ye Lai transmitted his voice.
Things have come to this point, there's no going back.
Once they return, those eerie figures behind the scenes who treated them as a theatrical performance will certainly not give them any chance to escape, and their fate will inevitably be death.
Ye Lai has already made a clear assessment of the situation in Demon Town.
There are some things he's still unsure about, but as long as Liang Mengxian leaves, he'll be able to learn the 'secret'.
"Okay, but we must leave together!"
Liang Mengxian said to Ye Lai, "Otherwise, even if we die, we'll die together."
"rest assured."
Ye Lai gave a two-word reply. After saying those two words, he withdrew his left hand, the light of the demon-dispelling spell dissipated, and at the same time, he stuffed a strip of small blue pills into Liang Mengxian's hand.
Without Ye Lai's dispelling light, Liang Mengxian's expression turned pale, but she recovered slightly after taking the small blue pill.
⑻bOok. сοm
"The rest is between the two of us."
Ye Laidao.
"You can outwit Luo Xiao with tricks, but you can't outwit me with tricks."
The man in the trench coat said in a deep voice. The tree roots under his feet had turned into a wall of tree roots in the walkway, blocking Liang Mengxian's way forward.
A mysterious sword appeared in his right hand, and he unleashed several consecutive slashes.
Cut down the tree root wall that was blocking the way.
Liang Mengxian stepped over the wall and walked forward.
The man in the trench coat stretched out his hand, and five tree roots emerged from under his coat, heading towards Liang Mengxian.
But Ye Lai cut it in half again with a single sword strike.
Not only that.
Ye Lai's empty left hand condensed into a streak of azure light, resembling a sword shadow.
The sword struck the man in the trench coat right at face level.
The trench coat was torn to shreds by the sword energy.
It revealed its true colors hidden beneath the trench coat.
Is it a person?
It was a person, because Ye Lai saw a clean face and clear eyes.
It was also strange, because Ye Lai saw tree roots covering most of his body, and these roots were deeply embedded in his skin, wriggling.
[Name: The Fountain Roots of Demon Town]
[Category: Symbiotic Weird]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Introduction ①: This is a tree root from near the core of Devil Town. It was later found by Fujimoto Itsuki, who created a symbiotic anomaly from the root and forcibly integrated it into his body, making it part of Fujimoto Itsuki's own existence.]
[Introduction ②: The source power of Devil Town flows within the tree roots. As long as one is within Devil Town, one can unleash an extremely terrifying level of power. This power is enough for Fujimoto Itsuki to survive well in Devil Town.]
[Hint 1: You would normally be unable to defeat him, but because the Light of Dispelling Ghosts still has an effect on symbiotic ghosts, you are only unable to defeat him.]
[Hint 2: Symbiotes and extraordinary beings are completely different beings]
Symbiosis is bizarre; symbionts.
This was the first time Ye Lai had ever seen such a being.
After coexisting with the supernatural, are you human or the supernatural?
It seems to be both, and yet it seems to be neither.
It will be affected by the Light of Deception, but not completely.
"This is my true self. Coexisting with the bizarre is the ultimate direction of human evolution."
Fujimoto revealed his true colors, but he was not flustered at all. Instead, he seemed happy. "If you stay here, I can transform you into symbiotes like me."
"So, what you're doing, is it considered supernatural? Or is it considered human?"
Ye Lai asked, and at the same time unleashed another sword strike.
The sword struck the seemingly thinner root that had pierced the skin, sending sword energy flying, but it didn't break the skin.
"Do you see that? This is the power of the uncanny. By coexisting with the uncanny, one can possess such great power."
Fujimoto Itsuki tempted Ye Lai, saying, "You and your siblings have actually evolved and possess abilities that humans cannot have, but that direction is a failure. It's not strong enough, and it's opposed to the supernatural, so it's destined to fail."
"Why do you say our direction will fail? I'm just a beginner-level superhuman."
Ye Lai dodged the branch that stretched out from under his feet and remained completely unmoved.
No matter how strong Ye Lai is, he is only a first-level transcendent. Above him are the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels.
Every day, he saw the Saint-level captains in charge of the central city.
Even if he killed the opponent with a single sword strike, he couldn't break through the opponent's defense, but that was all.
Compared to extraordinary beings like Tang Dao, Jiang Tiandao, and Lan Beihong, who are capable of suppressing the bizarre world, Fujimoto Itsuki's power is still far inferior.

"The eerie originates from humans, but is more advanced than humans, and is destined to be a product of the destruction of humanity."
Fujimoto continued, "Just as humans are a product of nature, but are superior to nature, humans destroy nature, and then the supernatural destroys humans. If we want to survive, we can only choose to coexist with the supernatural."
Is the strange phenomenon originating from humans?
Fujimoto Itsuki's words revealed a great deal of information.
[Hint: You have learned the secret of the incomplete 'mysterious birth']
It's another secret, and one that's incomplete.
"The strange thing came from a human? That's impossible."
Ye Lai was no longer on guard; his eyes were filled with shock, as if he had been stunned by Fujimoto Itsuki's words.
"In this era, nothing is impossible. With your current strength, this is all you can hear. If the rest were said, you wouldn't be able to hear it."
Fujimoto Itsuki seemed quite satisfied with Ye Lai's performance. He inserted his hand into his heart, took out a beating heart, and threw it next to Ye Lai.
"This is my latest invention, a bizarre concoction. If you eat it, you can become a symbiote like me, and maybe even stronger."
[Title: From the Heart of the Vine Tree]
[Category: Seed of Symbiotic Power]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Introduction: This is a symbiotic seed carefully cultivated by the symbiote Fujimoto Itsuki. Anyone who consumes it, provided they can withstand its bizarre power, can become a symbiote with this strange entity and possess power comparable to that of extraordinary beings.]
[Hint 1: Do not eat it; it contains a terrifying conspiracy]
[Note 2: Once ingested, all functions of this product will automatically discontinue.]
Nevertheless, this is a reminder.
But Ye Lai still picked up the beating heart, looking quite conflicted.
"Eat it, eat it, and everything will be alright. You will step into the era of the supernatural together with the supernatural."
"I'm tempting you," Fujimoto Itsuki said excitedly, his clean face flushed.
Ye Lai brought his heart even closer to his mouth.
Fujimoto Itsuki was waiting, waiting for the moment when this human, whose wisdom and strength were both first-rate, would become his companion.
Ye Lai's expression became even more conflicted, as if he would swallow the cell at any moment.
Fujimoto looked expectant.
Ye Lai took a deep breath, as if he was about to swallow it whole.
Fujimoto Itsuki is still waiting.
Ye Lai....
Fujimoto Itsuki realized something was wrong: "Are you kidding me?"
Ye Lai frowned, seemingly saddened by Fujimoto Itsuki's words:
"How could that be? I just think this looks a bit disgusting, and I can't bring myself to eat it. You know, I've never liked eating disgusting things."
"Are there any good-looking symbiotic weird seeds that I can eat without feeling guilty?"
"Ideally, it should taste better, either barbecue or fruit flavors, or even crayfish flavor."
Ye's words were sincere and heartfelt.
"hehe."
Fujimoto laughed. Even a fool could see that Ye Lai had no intention of eating it.
"It seems we can only become enemies."
"..."
"Actually, I am really wavering."
Ye Lai continued, rambling on.
His goals were simple: one was to buy time for Liang Mengxian to leave, and the other was to see if he could get more information out of Fujimoto Itsuki.
Liang Mengxian had already reached the classroom door.
"Delaying time is useless; you don't think I can't see that, do you?"
Fujimoto Itsuki smiled.
Another aura descended from the sky and blocked Liang Mengxian's path.
A female symbiote, whose name in the message is Yi Xian, with hints similar to Fujimoto Itsuki.
She attacked Liang Mengxian the moment she appeared.
The Light of Deception is greatly diminished when facing Symbiotes.
Liang Mengxian was casually blasted away.
Ye Lai caught Liang Mengxian and protected her behind him.
8bOok. СOm
"You should all just die."
Fujimoto Itsuki said.
The two symbiotes acted simultaneously, altering the floor of the corridor beneath their feet, and countless vines and weeds spread out.
They all attacked Ye Lai.
Can we hide?
There was no way to avoid it, because the entire area was covered with tree roots and weeds.
The golden light emanated outwards, firmly protecting Liang Mengxian and himself.
The white and golden light mixed together to form a defense, temporarily blocking the ubiquitous tree roots and weeds.
However, this is not a long-term solution.
Liang Mengxian could not withstand such a large-scale release of the light that dispels evil for long.
"I'll attack and create opportunities; you watch when the time is right and then leave."
Ye Lai said softly, "As long as you can leave, I can leave alive too."
He worried that Liang Mengxian wouldn't leave because of his safety.
"good."
Seeing Ye Lai's sincere expression, Liang Mengxian nodded in agreement, "Don't lie to me, you must live."
Ye Lai turned around.
Facing the two symbiotic individuals.
All the souls on the mysterious sword exploded, releasing a wave of killing intent.
But in front of the two of them, it couldn't withstand the slightest storm.
However, this was just an appetizer for Ye Lai.
He slashed twice with his sword.
Two long sword phantoms flew out from the swords and stabbed at the two men, who did not dodge.
He let the sword strike him.
Although they were weakened by Liang Mengxian's light of dispelling evil, this weakness was only relative. Compared to Ye Lai, they were still ridiculously strong.
"If you're unwilling to become one, then you're doomed."
Fujimoto Itsuki spoke calmly, looking as if victory was assured.
The attacks from the tree roots continued relentlessly.
Ye Lai's attacks did not stop.
The mysterious sword was shrouded in a blue light, and a blue lotus flower bloomed from its blade.
[Sword Technique - One Kill in Ten Steps]
Countless sword energies spread within a ten-step radius, slicing tree roots and weeds into dust within this area.
The blue lotus flowers further blocked the view of Fujimoto Itsuki and his companion.
The swordplay was not yet over.
A figure burst out from the blue lotus flower; it was Ye Lai, who had opened his eyes wide and was prepared to die.
"Then let's perish together."
Ye Lai shouted.
"This Ye Lai has the ability to create clones. He can create clones that can move, shout, explode, and inflict a chaotic state."
Fujimoto Itsuki stepped back and explained to the woman beside him, "But it doesn't have enough attack power. For something like this, just trap it."
Weeds and trees grew wildly, creating a cage.
The leaves gathered around him, locking him inside tightly.
"Damn it! How do you know everything?"
Ye Lai said unwillingly.
"Because we've been watching your performances all along."
Fujimoto laughed when he heard this. He knew Ye Lai and Liang Mengxian's abilities very well, so he naturally had a way to deal with them.
The blue lotus flowers that could kill every ten steps scattered.
Inside were Ye Lai and Liang Mengxian, both looking helpless.
"I'll eat this, just let us go."
In front of the two symbiotes, Ye Lai ate the heart that Fujimoto Itsuki had given him earlier. Roots grew from his heart and spread throughout his body.
Ye Lai's appearance also changed to that of a strange symbiote.
8bOok. СOm

He's a smart person.
Fujimoto smiled with satisfaction; he could sense the symbiotic aura emanating from Ye Lai.
"Ye Lai".
Liang Mengxian's face was full of sorrow.
"Give me another one, my sister wants to eat it too, she needs to become a symbiote too, so that we can both survive."
Leaf, now a symbiotic being, walked towards the vine tree.
The tree roots and weeds stopped attacking the two.
In Fujimoto Itsuki's view, Ye Lai has already become a symbiote, so it's normal for him to want his sister to live. This would only make Liang Mengxian a symbiote as well.
Since we're all going to become symbiotes, we're all partners, so there's no need to attack each other anymore.
"Sure, take it."
Fujimoto took out another heart from his chest.
"Will my sister be able to survive after becoming a symbiote?"
Ye, who had become a symbiotic, asked.
"certainly."
Fujimoto smiled; he could say he had done a great service.
The symbiotic leaf placed its hand on the vine tree's hand.
The next second.
A burst of white light erupted from the symbiote Ye Lai's body; he had self-destructed!
Anger at being mocked and fear of being intellectually suppressed instantly filled the minds of Fujimoto Itsuki and Yi Xuan.
It caused them to crash for a moment.
The leaves were trapped by tree roots and weeds.
He then used the mysterious sword in his hand to unleash a sword light and break through the cage.
He approached Liang Mengxian, who was still emitting a strange light, and hugged her with one hand.
They rushed toward Class 15's classroom.
When Fujimoto Itsuki and Yi Xuan came to their senses...
Ye Lai had already carried Liang Mengxian to the classroom door and was about to go in.
"Damn it, how could you be so stupid?"
Yi Xian cursed.
"Damn it! How dare you mock me like this!"
Fujimoto Itsuki felt a burning sensation on his face, not from the self-destruction of his clone, but from being teased by Ye Lai.
"Bye now."
Ye Lai kicked the door of Class 15.
The awkward thing is...
The classroom door remained completely still.
[Hint: The door is imbued with special energy; you cannot open it with your current abilities. You need a key to open this door.]
[Note: This door only possesses special energy and is not considered a strange item; therefore, no information is available.]
Damn it.
Can you play it like this?
"You can't leave without the key."
Fujimoto said confidently, "The passage out of here has long been protected by a special restriction set up by the Demon Town. Without the key, it is impossible for Ye Lai and his sister to break through it."
Ye Lai gave Fujimoto a meaningful look, redeemed a key from the shop, and placed it in Liang Mengxian's hand: "Hurry up."
"??? Where did you get this key from?!"
Fujimoto Itsuki felt his face burning even more.
The two symbiotes charged forward together.
Ye Lai's left hand condensed sword light, while his right hand was filled with the azure light of a mysterious sword. The golden light on his body merged into the azure light, covering the azure light with another layer of golden light.
Both swords were slashed out simultaneously.
The stacked skill that had previously broken Luo Zhen's defense was used again.
8ЬооК. сОm
[Stacked Skill - Double Sword Strike + Golden Light Condensation]
This move was successful.
The two symbiotic beings finally got hurt.
But he still rushed up to Ye Lai.
Enraged, they no longer held back.
Green fluctuations appeared on their bodies and merged together, transforming into a destructive green sphere of light that hurtled towards Ye.
The golden light formed the first layer of shield, then the mysterious sword was held in front of him, and finally the third layer of defense was set up with the 'mysterious ring from the ancients'.
But there's nothing that can stop it.
The defenses that had been laid out were utterly destroyed.
Even the mysterious sword was cracked by the light sphere.
Ye Lai's figure was blasted backward.
Liang Mengxian, who had just opened the door, was also sent flying backwards.
The energy contained within the green orb destroyed Ye Laijingang's physical body.
[Notification: You have been bombarded by a 'Destruction Energy Ball'. Your Vajra Body has been completely damaged and is unusable.]
Ye Lai stood on the railing, covered in blood. Liang Mengxian stood beside him, in slightly better condition, but also covered in wounds. The eerie light emanating from her body had disappeared due to the severity of her injuries.
As the light that dispelled the mystery disappeared.
The once-normal corridor now seemed to stretch on indefinitely.
[Note: The corridor has re-entered a 'space-folded' state]
The large wave of strange occurrences that had previously disappeared has begun to reappear.
What's worse than before is that there are two symbiotes in front of them.
"Use your sword techniques to deceive others, use your main body as a clone, and use the clone as your main body, consume the symbiotic anomaly, and lower my guard."
Fujimoto Tatsuki remarked, "It's truly terrifying combat wisdom, but so what? Strength can overcome everything, including so-called wisdom."
Fujimoto Itsuki was right; Ye Lai's battle plan this time had failed.
One reason is that no one expected the door to have a restriction that required a key to open.
Another point is that the combat power of the two symbiotes, Fujimoto and Yixuan, was underestimated. It was unexpected that the two of them combined could unleash such powerful destructive force.
"With both us and the supernatural present, your only fate is death."
Yi Xian also spoke up, and used his hands to remove the eyes, throwing them in front of Ye Lai and the other man. "Eating them is your only chance to survive."
Ye Lai looked at the two white eyeballs and asked, puzzled:
"You were once human too. I can understand that you chose this symbiotic method in order to survive in this devil town."
"But why are you joining forces with this town to stop us? You didn't have to get involved."
"This town is nothing more than a stage. It captures humans, watches them perform, and then destroys them. It is such a bizarre world."
Ye revealed the true nature of this devilish town.
They kept capturing humans and watching them perform in the town.
Everyone in the town's supernatural beings knows they are human, only the people who come here think that these supernatural beings don't know.
The purpose of doing this is to provide amusement for the sinister figures behind the scenes.
These two symbiotes were certainly once among the humans who were captured, but they found a way to coexist with the bizarre creatures through their own methods.
It is both human and not human, both eerie and not eerie.
Thus, he survived.
"We could choose not to intervene, but if we do, we will be ostracized. Since we have chosen to coexist with the supernatural, we are certain that we will continue to move closer to the supernatural."
The woman spoke eerily, "Until one day we truly become the supernatural, stopping you, who are just as special, is our pledge of allegiance."
Ye Lai understood.
It turns out that although the two people who became symbiotes were able to live in this town, their existence was not fully recognized by the supernatural beings.
This action will serve as their pledge of allegiance to the town.
This proves they are a bizarre front, not human.
The unkillable anomalies of teachers and students are getting closer and closer. In their current state, it seems that the only way to survive is to eat these two eyeballs.
Only by becoming a symbiotic partner can one survive.

To be or not to be, that is the question.
To eat or not to eat, that is the question.
Now the two problems have become one.
It seems we're truly facing a desperate situation.
"I will never become like them."
Liang Mengxian propped herself up on her arms and stood up.
A mysterious light once again emanated from her body.
"When my older brother died, I knew I had to get rid of all these strange things."
The folded corridor is recovering, and the eerie phantoms are fading away.
You're right.
Ye Lai agreed and destroyed the two eyeballs on the ground with a single sword strike.
"That's a real shame, you'll all have to die here."
Fujimoto Itsuki said regretfully.
The two symbiotes struck again.
A green orb was fired.
At this moment, all Ye Lai could do was hold the mysterious sword in front of him and put a small blue pill in his mouth.
And once again, the barrier of the 'mysterious ring from the ancients' was erected.
Continuous overuse caused the ring to begin showing signs of breaking.
If it's used again, this ring, which costs a lot of crystals, will be completely ruined.
As for the mysterious sword, which was already covered in cracks, it was completely shattered into pieces during this battle.
The barrier was shattered once again.
He swallowed the little blue pill immediately.
Then he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, and Liang Mengxian behind him did the same; the two of them collapsed to the ground completely.
The light that dispelled the eerie illusions vanished, and the strange phantoms reappeared.
"Don't do it, or it won't taste good."
Ling Naixue shouted loudly in the eerie atmosphere.
The symbiotes, who were originally prepared to kill directly, did not take any further action.
Instead, they kicked the two who were no longer able to fight in front of the strange group.
"Why does it feel like every time I enter a weird world, the difficulty level is always this high?"
Ye Laijin's breath was less than his exhaled breath as he struggled to think.
He used the 'mysterious ring from the ancients' to create another barrier, standing in front of him and the equally lifeless Liang Mengxian.
The barrier crumbled before the eerie phantom.
The moment the barrier shattered, the Ring of the Ancients also shattered completely.
A stream of light shot out from the ring and entered Ye Lai's brow.
Memories flashed through my mind.
It was the silhouette of a woman sitting on a pure white throne, constantly unleashing white beams of light to shatter the illusory bubbles that kept attaching themselves to her.
Each phantom bubble represents a bizarre world, and the bursting of each bubble signifies the disappearance of that bizarre world.
This means that this woman is constantly destroying the bizarre world.
A voiceover appeared in sync with the scene unfolding before them.
"The queen, known as the Queen of Pure White, possesses a strange power that can destroy everything."
"Before her, even the bizarre can only grovel."
"She appeared out of nowhere in this world, and the moment she appeared, she was sitting on a pure white throne."
"Spreading light, saving humanity."
"...."
"People always felt the grace of her radiance and considered her a benevolent queen."
"But only those who know this secret will understand."
"Her power never came from compassion, but from hatred of the bizarre."
Translate these seemingly profound dialogues and eulogies into plain language.
This woman, known as the Queen of Pure White, draws her power from her hatred of the bizarre.
[Hint: You have learned the secret of the incomplete 'King of Pure White' - Chapter 1 of 'The Source of the King of Pure White's Power']
[Hint: Having learned the secret, you have obtained a portion of the power source of the 'King of Pure White'. You can use this power to leave this place, or you can use it for other purposes.]
This is the secret contained within the 'mysterious ring from the ancients'.
8bοoK． СΟm
A secret far more important than the ring's function itself.
The source of power known as 'Destructive Starlight'.
This power is so strong that it can leave this demon town and return to the real world, and the remaining part can be used as a power seed to advance to the second tier.
But Ye Lai has no intention of doing so.
Dragging his broken body, Ye Lai arrived in front of the critically injured and dying Liang Mengxian and covered her body with his own.
The eerie phantoms also approached, reaching out to grab pieces of flesh from Ye Lai's body and stuffing them into their mouths.
"Hate the bizarre, don't you think?"
Ye Lai whispered weakly in Liang Mengxian's ear.
"From this moment on, hate the bizarre with all your might."
A small point of white light emerged from between Ye Lai's eyebrows and then entered between Liang Mengxian's eyebrows. This was the 'Destructive Starlight' that Ye Lai had just obtained.
"Because at this time today, your brother will be devoured by these monsters."
"So, hate the bizarre."
Ye Lai's voice suddenly rose in the final moments.
Liang Mengxian beneath him was enveloped in white light once more, but this time it was no longer a gentle burst of light; instead, it was a destructive eruption.
Intense white light almost burst from Liang Mengxian's eyes.
A beam of light fell from the sky.
Completely envelop Liang Mengxian and Ye Lai.
All the eerie phantoms vanished instantly at that moment.
Only two symbiotes remained standing in place.
"How could this be? What is this?"
The two screamed in terror.
Even they were harmed by this white light.
The symbiotic anomaly rooted in the two was desperately trying to break free from them, but in the end, it disappeared completely, just like the other anomaly phantoms.
The two of them turned into ordinary people with no power left in their bodies.
The beam of destructive light did not stop; it continued to spread, seemingly engulfing the entire Demon Town within its range.
[Hint: You now know the secret of this world—the mystery of the Pure White King's identity]
[Note: You have received the blessing of 'Destructive Starlight,' all your injuries have been healed, and you have obtained a power seed unique to you.]
[Hint: Secrets are always coveted.]
[Warning: You are about to leave this world, and the single-player eerie world that evolved from it will be destroyed.]
At this moment, Ye Lai received a series of notifications from the system.
His figure vanished in the pillar of light.
On the opposite side of him.
Liang Mengxian, radiating a destructive white light, waved goodbye to him.
She no longer wore pigtails. Instead, her long, silver hair, reaching her waist, fell freely, and her eyes held a deep reluctance to part with Ye Lai.
"Bye now."
Ye Laidao.
"Bye now."
Liang Mengxian Dao, to be precise, is the Dao of the King of Pure White.
...
Inside the research institute.
People dressed in researcher's uniforms are coming and going.
The two researchers who brought Ye in earlier are now observing the red vortex that represents the bizarre world of a single person.
"Fifteen days have passed. According to the flow of time, it should be quick."
"If they still haven't come out, then it means they're dead."
At this moment, fifteen days have passed since Ye Lai entered the solitary bizarre world.
They watched the display on the screen. Once someone died and there was no one left inside, the instruments on the screen and the red vortex would change.
"Something has changed."
"Really? Is it coming out?"
After a question-and-answer session, the observation was finally coming to an end, and they could go on to do the research they wanted.
However, looking at the flickering vortex and the alarmingly high screen values, it was quite a shock.
The two researchers sensed that something was wrong.

Old Fang, this number is wrong..."
"Yes, I also felt something was wrong."
"Is this going to explode?"
"This is the first time! We must record this valuable data!"
The two researchers looked at the screen, which was turning red, with expressions of surprise.
The red color on the screen indicates that the current single-player eerie world is extremely dangerous, not the person who enters it, but the eerie world itself.
This was something they had never seen in their entire research careers; it was the first time.
Ignoring the danger, the two personnel were constantly recording various data at this moment.
The spinning red vortex trembled incessantly.
A foot emerged from the red vortex and stepped onto the steps, revealing a figure—Ye Lai, who had previously entered the solitary eerie world.
Just as Ye Lai's body completely emerged from the red vortex.
The red on the computer screen had become so intense that the numbers were no longer visible, and the red vortex behind him was trembling to its limit, with a white dot of light appearing at its center.
And the white light, centered on a white spot, continues to spread.
It continued until it completely swallowed the spinning red vortex, finally bursting like a bubble.
The computer equipment monitoring this bizarre, solitary world also exploded at that moment.
"boom!"
This left the two researchers, who were still recording data, completely bewildered.
Fortunately, the explosion of the instrument was not very powerful and did not cause any real harm to the two researchers.
"I couldn't hold back anymore."
Ye, who was below the pond, said.
Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
A destructive white light appeared from between his eyebrows.
Its brilliance shines in all directions.
The eerie worlds within the other pools began to tremble.
It seemed like they were afraid.
It's like a mouse encountering a cat, or a rabbit encountering a tiger.
The computer equipment on the entire floor started issuing red alerts, with various values jumping around erratically.
"What the hell? What is that?"
A man with thinning hair and wearing clear-rimmed glasses appeared here.
He extended his left hand, and a surge of energy emanated from him, stabilizing the bizarre world that was constantly trembling and collapsing.
In mid-air, another figure appeared—it was Lan Beihong with his flowing bangs. As the one in charge of intelligence, he was the first to learn of Ye Lai's arrival.
"Lan Beihong, is this the person you brought?"
The balding man looked at Lan Beihong and said, "What? You think I, Zhou Butong, am always busy with research, so you want to destroy my weird research lab?"
This man is the fourth person in charge at the Hongshan Center, specifically responsible for research; the entire research institute belongs to him.
Zhou Butong is furious because he has just arrived at his own eerie world and a special energy has appeared, causing all the eerie worlds to begin to collapse.
This startled him so much that he rushed out of his lab to stabilize the situation, because in doing so, the crucial project he was working on halfway through was definitely doomed.
But it's better than the entire bizarre world of this lab collapsing.
"no."
Lan Beihong smiled helplessly. He hadn't expected Ye Lai to appear and cause such a big mess.
It destroyed the single-player eerie world and incidentally caused the entire floor's eerie world to begin collapsing.
If they really all collapse.
Even if Ye Lai was unintentional, he cannot escape serious crimes. Now that only one of them has collapsed, Ye Lai will definitely have to bear a heavy debt.
"Which person in charge brought him here? I, Zhou Butong, will definitely not let him get away with this!"
Zhou Butong cursed loudly.
"Jiang Tiandao".
Lan Beihong uttered a name.
"It's that bastard..."
Zhou Butong was still cursing, but his curses weren't as forceful anymore. He knew that if he really challenged Jiang Tiandao to a fight, Jiang Tiandao would laugh so hard he'd be rolling on the floor.
(8) BOOOK.COM
Of the nine people in charge, only this brainless guy could stop Zhou Butong.
Even if it's someone from Tang Island, Zhou Butong has a way to get back at him.
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and take this kid away."
Zhou Butong jumped up. He didn't know what the white light emanating from this kid was, that it could make so many strange worlds tremble with fear and even collapse.
Even if things have stabilized now, it's only temporary.
Lan Beihong grabbed Ye Lai, who was sitting cross-legged, and led him away from the research institute.
He was in mid-air, and Ye Lai was beside him.
The white light on his body not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
"I really don't know what your second-tier profession is?"
Lan Beihong said, "The trouble has already been caused. We can talk about it after we advance in rank."
Hearing this, Ye Lai, whose eyes were tightly closed, twitched his eyelids, realizing he had gotten himself into trouble.
However, the key right now is to complete the breakthrough first.
Lan Beihong led Ye to another facility.
Unlike the surrounding towering or other distinctive buildings, this place resembles a cemetery, with large iron gates standing tall, behind which are sealed spaces.
This is the secluded retreat area of the Extraordinary Center.
Many people who are about to break through or are about to break through will come here to go into seclusion.
It won't appear until after the breakthrough is over.
Lan Beihong tapped his finger lightly.
A large iron gate opened, and Lan Beihong threw Ye Lai inside.
The large iron gate closed.
Ye Lai sat cross-legged inside; his spirit was no longer in his body.
...
Darkness reigned, dotted with countless stars.
Ye Lai returned to the place where he had first ascended to the next level.
Each star in the sky represents a skill.
And this time is different from before.
Ye looked up at the stars in the sky and noticed something different about them.
For example, those five bright stars are actually together, and their twinkling lights form a cross shape in the night sky.
The five stars over there, when pieced together, form the shape of a centaur archer holding a bow and arrow. Next to him, five more stars form the shape of a winged horse.
Ye Lai understood what this meant.
Each of the five stars arranged in this shape represents a profession.
Some stars are even encompassed by multiple constellations, meaning that this skill can be possessed by multiple professions simultaneously.
"No matter when you look at it, this starry sky is always so beautiful."
Ye Lai sighed.
Next, he needs to take four stars from these countless stars as his second-tier exclusive job skills.
Take only four.
Because a star is already inside his body.
A white star flew out from between Ye Lai's eyebrows and circled around him.
This is the seed of extraordinary power that Ye Lai finally obtained in Demon Town—'Destruction of the Mysterious Starlight'.
This will also become his second-tier talent.
"Then, the remaining four skills are next."
Ye Lai looked up at the sky.
Just like last time, I closed my eyes and followed the call of my senses.
But this time, he felt the call of many stars.
"Don't do it all at once, it's making me a bit confused."
Ye Lai opened his eyes. There were so many stars he wanted to catch that he didn't know which one to grab.
