"Hand over the body?"

I had a bad feeling; I could sense a murderous aura emanating from the woman in front of me.

There was definitely a destructive power here, and now I realized that it had been slowly corroding my body all along.

"You need my body?" I said without any pretense. "What exactly do you need my body for?"

"Nothing, I just want to be with you. Isn't that what you want?"

"...It is what I want, but I have never been so clear-headed before! Because..."

Suddenly, I reached out and grabbed her neck, my eyes filled with fear.

"I remember everything now, not just about myself... but about you too!"

...

Wuwuwuwu...

Hei Tong looked at the sky in the distance and felt a metallic smell in the air today.

"Is it just my imagination?"

He felt that his plan should have been flawless, there shouldn't have been so many loopholes. Otherwise, the other party would have noticed his actions.

"Hei Tong, I think something is not right. That guy is too dangerous!" Qianjiu, who was always calm, now started to panic.

If they really caused a big trouble, then...

"Teacher, please don't think too much about it."

Hei Tong comforted Qianjiu.

"Whether it's a sage or a demon, we won't know until the last moment, right?"

"That's true, but I'm still worried. The power of demonic possession is something we can't estimate, especially the original form of demonic possession. The strength is unimaginable! You must have dealt with higher-level demonic possessions before, and you should have experienced it. You can only kill these monsters under limited conditions, but... sigh, do you know how severe the consequences are once you remove those restrictions?"

Qianjiu continued to advise Hei Tong, hoping he wouldn't do anything foolish. If he continued to act recklessly...

"Sometimes, I realize... regardless of whether you admit it or not, you really are too much like a man."

"Teacher!"

Hei Tong responded with dissatisfaction.

"I know what is inside me. She is not a monster, and she is definitely not someone who wants to harm me! But one thing is for sure, if someone wants to harm us, I will make sure that person disappears!!!"

"..."

"Until... until the day this world returns to peace, I will never give up!"

"Hei Tong, you are getting deeper and deeper! You should learn how to forget, this is not the real you, no..."

"But, teacher."

Hei Tong interrupted Qianjiu.

"Not being able to forget... isn't it the most precious thing we humans possess?"

"?!"

Qianjiu stared into Hei Tong's eyes and finally noticed countless red threads spreading out from his eye whites.

As the bloodshot veins increased, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

So that's how it is...

Qianjiu realized that Hei Tong's eyes had never been truly black, but because the red was so deep and overlapped, others mistook it for black.

"Since you insist on going your own way, I have nothing more to say."

"..."

"But as your teacher, I still have a responsibility! Hei Tong, no matter what, don't let that power consume your body. You need to stay calm."

Without hesitation, Qianjiu gently placed his hands on Hei Tong's cheek, just like a father, wiping away the resentment in his eyes with tenderness.

Hei Tong's situation was already dire. He often couldn't control his emotions, which could potentially lead to the demonic transformation of his Core Spirit, also known as malignization!

Well, it's not exactly the same as cellular malignization, but the nature of it is similar.

Just as human emotions can affect the transformation of cancer cells in the body, the same applies to the demonic virus. As long as the emotions remain stable and optimistic, no matter how powerful the Core Spirit is, it cannot take over the body completely.

"Do you know? Our encounter has absolutely nothing to do with Bai Gexin, let alone Bai Xunxiang."

"Why... why is that?"

"Because you are special, no one can replace you, except for yourself! Hei Tong, the demonic virus is not as terrifying as it seems. Compared to the suffering we have endured, it is insignificant! Isn't that right?"

"Yes... yes... insignificant... insignificant..."

"Don't be afraid of her! Child, if you're afraid of her, what awaits you may be never-ending slumber!"

Qianjiu continuously warned Hei Tong. As his emotions fluctuated, the Core Spirit within him would also react in the same way.

"Hold on! As long as we can awaken that guy, we will be safe."

...

Based on my intuition, I followed behind the unfamiliar woman, walking forward.

I've never felt such a heavy burden on my head before, even feeling nauseous with my stomach churning.

I'm not sure how long we walked, but the woman and I stopped in front of an automatic door.

"Mr. Juxi, this way, please."

The woman cleared a path for me, but she didn't continue moving forward herself.

And I wasn't sure what had happened, I just dumbly walked into the elevator, surrounded by blankness.

Suddenly, everything around me quieted down, and I turned around in fear.

"Don't worry, I've been here all along." The woman patted my shoulder from behind.

As soon as I turned around, the woman startled me again.

She didn't say anything, just guarding the elevator door, without saying a word to me.

I knew my time was running out, and I only hoped to have some unforgettable memories in this final period, but it definitely wasn't as simple and superficial as it is now... this false world.

Moreover, so much time had passed that I could only recall limited things.

However, even with limited memories, I still remember my parents and some important people, which gives me a warm feeling.

Whether it's in heaven or on earth, whether it's life or death, I don't care anymore, nor do I think too much.

I know that if you take everything seriously, it will only be fruitless.

So, even for the most foolish person, after experiencing so many years... hehe, they would have figured it out long ago.

The woman didn't say much, she just brought me to the highest point.

"Juxi, actually our identities are all ordinary, you can say that we're all ordinary kids on this ship... Some of the kids don't even have a home to go back to."

"I don't even know what I'm doing now, why ask me this?" I played dumb.

"Are you pretending with me?" The woman wasn't angry either, at least she didn't show it on the surface. "Juxi, I'm telling you very clearly, you are not dreaming right now."

The woman already warned me like this, but I still didn't care and said, "Whether I'm dreaming or not, dreaming in broad daylight or not!"

After I said that, the woman became even calmer: "Since you're such an open-minded person, I won't force you. After we leave, you can find a place to rest."

"What kind of identity are you using to kick me out this time?" I asked fearlessly.

"You're overthinking it, there's no grudge between us, why would I kick you out?" The woman still had an indifferent look, maintaining her unique indifference.

But in my eyes, this indifference was not much different from anger.

But I can't explain it right now, I can only say that I am now mentally awake, so I can't accept the so-called current situation for the time being.

After all, so much time has passed, I should forget the things I shouldn't remember.

But there are still some things that I remember, including some... um... unimportant things.

I don't want to mention those already unnecessary things anymore, because compared to other people, I and ordinary people no longer have any difference.

All I have is confusion, confusion about my current state, whether it is so-called luck or a kind of misfortune?

Of course, no matter what others think, at least I think this is a kind of misfortune, and a great misfortune!

Unlike some confused people, I sometimes understand, sometimes I'm confused.

If it was just communication between ordinary people, maybe I could temporarily forget some unpleasant things. But now, when a man and a woman stand together, they can't say anything.

And the woman also had an anxious look, it seems that she really wanted to communicate with a living person, because she had endured too much loneliness.

"So many years have passed, I... I'm not alone anymore... I'm not alone anymore." The woman spoke, her smile becoming much more serene.

"Youxiang..." I didn't know what else to say, I could only silently watch everything in front of me, letting it continue like this.

"Leave me!" The woman bid farewell to me. "With my disappearance, this world won't take long to stop, and you should go and communicate with real humans. After all... it must be strange to be with a spirit that doesn't belong to this world, right?"

"No, it's not like that! Youxiang... Youxiang..." I quickly wanted to rush over, but I was separated by a transparent wall.

From the moment I saw her, I felt something familiar about her. No matter how she treated me before, I could clearly sense that everything she did had no harm intended toward me.

"I'm just a cancer in your body!" The woman laughed.

"Now that your body has recovered, it's naturally time for me to leave... don't you think so?"
