Li Mo stood in front of him and said gently, "Isn't this so that you can carefully observe what a human being should look like?"
Yin Xiu stared at him, carefully examining his features. "I feel like his eyes look strange... it's uncomfortable to look at them."
After a few seconds of silence, a new eye appeared on Li Mo's left cheek, and he smiled, "Now?"
This immediately aligned with Yin Xiu's current understanding and aesthetic sense. He nodded and said with satisfaction, "You look much better now. I just realized that you are actually quite good-looking."
Li Mo smiled, her eyes narrowed, looking quite satisfied.
The comments section erupted in fury: Why are you spoiling him?! If you spoil him any longer, his misconceptions will only deepen!!!
Li Mo looked away, reached into Yin Xiu's pocket and took out the bag of candy, took one and put it to his lips, and said in a low voice, "Here, have another one. I need to find a way to change your perception."
Yin Xiu silently lowered his head, took the candy, and put it in his mouth. He then looked up at Li Mo again.
Li Mo smiled and looked into Yin Xiu's eyes, his voice slow and deep as he said, "Yin Xiu, a human being has two eyes."
"Two eyes..." Yin Xiu's gaze wavered slightly as that familiar chill crept up on him. He stared into Li Mo's eyes, feeling as if he were being pulled into a vortex from which he could not escape. It was as if something was invading his brain and gradually taking over his rationality.
After a few seconds of silence in the classroom, Yin Xiu slowly uttered, "I remember now, humans do indeed have two eyes..."
Li Mo smiled and winked, then revealed her left eye again. "So, do you still think three eyes are pretty?"
Yin Xiu stared at him silently, then turned his head away uncomfortably, and said in a low voice with some helplessness, "I don't know why, but I always felt that humans had three eyes... Now that I think about it, three eyes are too strange."
Li Mo released him with satisfaction. "It was those eyes outside the window that influenced you. They have a similar power to mine, capable of affecting a person's spirit."
He turned and slowly strolled to the window, then suddenly pulled back the curtains. At that moment, it was pitch black outside; there were no red eyes, nothing else, only the dark night.
"Looks like they've left." Li Mo silently pulled the curtains back.
"What is that thing?" Yin Xiu felt uneasy for no reason. If a single glance could change one's perception and alter a person's character without their awareness, then this thing was too powerful.
"I'm not sure, maybe... it's something new that came out of the dungeon." Li Mo turned around and went back to Yin Xiu's side, put his arm around Yin Xiu and rested his head on his shoulder. "But it's okay, even if it's corruption, it's me who will corrupt you, I won't let any other unknown things take over you."
"…" Yin Xiu patted Li Mo's head, which was resting on his shoulder, "I don't want to be corrupted."
"But if your perception is changed, and I forcibly correct it, you will also be corrupted by me, since I don't know any healing magic." Li Mo smiled and spread his hands, looking completely innocent.
The pollution from the eyes outside the window altered Yin Xiu's perception, while Li Mo reversed Yin Xiu's perception in the same way. The result was the same, but the traces of the altered perception would inevitably remain.
Yin Xiu was helpless. He couldn't resist having his perception altered, so he could only rely on Li Mo. At least Li Mo was better than some unknown being.
"Can I trust you?" Yin Xiu looked up and stared at him intently.
This was the first time he had ever relied on someone else in a dungeon, and that person was a completely inhuman being.
"Of course," Li Mo smiled, his expression confident.
"But I still don't really know you." Yin Xiu stared at the being in front of him, who was wearing a human skin but was a monster inside. "You have too many secrets."
Li Mo pulled Yin Xiu's hand and smiled as she placed it on her chest. "So, do you want to know more about the real me now?"
Yin Xiu placed his hand on his chest, feeling the contours of the muscles. His body was cold, and there was no heartbeat. It was just an ordinary body, seemingly functioning normally, yet something felt off about it.
"Is the real you... terrifying?" Yin Xiu could feel something floating in his body beneath his palm, rising and falling with Li Mo's breathing. It was clearly not something as simple as flesh, bones, or veins; it was a non-human entity.
"It might be a bit scary for ordinary people, but I'm not so sure about you." Li Mo reached out and unbuttoned a few buttons on his suit jacket. "If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop, and I'll revert to my adult form immediately."
"So, would you want to know the real me?"
Yin Xiu stared into his eyes and nodded. "I want to know."
Yin Xiu's answer pleased Li Mo greatly. He unbuttoned his suit jacket, stopping at his chest to reveal a complete chest. Like a fantasy of the most perfect human being, Li Mo's body was very well-constructed, with excellent muscle contours, lines, and feel.
But the next second, Yin Xiu watched helplessly as Li Mo drew a vertical line on his chest with his finger, creating a gash in his chest.
There was no bleeding or muscle tearing; it was simply a smooth and intact crack.
"I want…to let you feel it." Li Mo grabbed Yin Xiu's hand and placed it on the crack. "Inside is the most authentic me."
The scene before Yin Xiu was truly shocking; it was far too stimulating for anyone to bear.
He took a deep breath, stared intently at Li Mo's smile, and slowly and tentatively inserted his fingers into the crack.
A cool, sticky sensation enveloped Yin Xiu's fingertips. When he touched the damp, cold, and sticky substance, a chill quickly crept up his body, making Yin Xiu shiver uncontrollably.
He felt that Li Mo's body was full of such things, like a pile of different organs and tissues of various sizes, tentacles, sticky clumps, organs that were neither human nor non-human, cold and damp, and could not even have a complete outline, wrapping around every one of his fingers.
It was indescribable, beyond words; just touching it made Yin Xiu's hands tremble.
"Yin Xiu…" Li Mo lowered his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. A rare lazy and comfortable expression appeared on his face, and his voice became light and airy. "It's the first time someone has touched me…it feels very strange."
"How would you describe this feeling in humans? It's a tingling, numb sensation..."
"I love you so much, I want to swallow you whole..."
His expression seemed somewhat excited, and even his emotions became agitated. At the same time, the indescribable entities within his body immediately became sensitive and stimulating, writhing around Yin Xiu's hand. The electric sensation immediately surged up his hand and crawled to Yin Xiu's side.
